Two stars just for the very friendly staff and reasonably pleasant interior, but zero stars fro the prices. Â Food prices being way over the top. Â $18 for shepherds pie! Â The owner seems out of touch with realistic food pricing. Â Drink prices are more in line, if a little high. Â $6 for a pint (20oz) Blue Moon isn't too bad.
Review Source:Tried to go to Konrad's which is in the same plaza only to find that it went out of business. Â We noticed this place and figured we'd give it a shot. Â Mistake. Â Walked in at 7:15 on a Saturday night and we were the only customers. Â Our waiter was acting as the bartender, if you could call it that. Â My wife ordered a sangria which I watched our waiter pour out of a bottle and throw a few pieces of fruit in. Â It was so sweet it tasted like Kool Aide. Â We sent it back and she switched to the two for one $5.99 margaritas. Â I knew we were in trouble when he went into the kitchen to get it not the bar. Â Pre-made out of bottle, so bad she passed on the free one. Â I had the Shepard's Pie, average, the wife had the Irish Mac n cheese, which amounted to penne pasta in a cheese sauce, not good. Â The live music was one guy with a guitar who butchered just about everything he played. Â I can't see this place staying in business much longer.
Review Source:We walked in, sat down, glanced the menu and got the hell outta there! Â The prices were absolutely INSANE. Only 1 table occupied (usually the first sign of a failed restaurant)
$27.99 for fish and chips for lunch???....I don't care if that fish is topped with diamonds.
$14.50 for mac and cheese for kids???
Advice to owner, lower your prices or have yourself a lunch menu or you will sink!
Argh!! I ALWAYS, ALWAYS check Yelp before I try a place, just to make sure experiences like the one I had here don't happen to me. Â This time, however, I failed to do that, and boy did I pay the price.
If I could, I would give this place ZERO stars. Â
Stayed at the Hilton across the street and figured we'd try some place outside the hotel to eat so we wouldn't go broke....
One server for the entire place. Â Needless to say, service was pretty slow.
Ordered A Ceasar Salad and some "Irish Mac n Cheese" (translation, penne pasta in enough cream sauce to give you an instant heart attack- no cheese flavor here!). Â Gross, gross, gross. Â The croutons in the Ceasar Salad tasted about a month old.
This and a beer for a grand total of FORTY DOLLARS! REALLY?! FORTY DOLLARS FOR THIS?! Â
We felt so cheated by lunch that we "splurged" on room service at the hotel that night...Ordered a five star meal, WITH dessert, and it cost the same.
NEVER. EVER. COME HERE.
Don't be fooled by the outside appearance. This is my first review on yelp and I am writing this to save you an utter disappointment!
To begin we walked in and there was a group of 4 in front of us waiting to be seated. After waiting for several minutes a server happened to walk by and acknowledge all of us waiting; however, the manager/hostess was sitting at the bar chatting with the bartender. Finally she came over to sit both of us.
Once seated we nearly stuck to the table and chairs because they were so dirty. Speaking of dirty, there were more used/dirty tables than clean. By the time we left they were all but one still dirty and that is because they ran out of clean tables and the manager walked the couple to a dirty table and TOLD them to wait while she cleaned it.
The food. Worst hamburger I have ever had. I could not have cooked a more crispy over cooked burger if I left it on my grill until I ran out of LP. I guess that is why it took almost 40 minutes just to serve a burger and cup of soup.
While sitting for what seemed like an eternity we watched every server and manager either wipe their nose or sneeze into their hand. On the bar there was a collection of dishes drinks and who knows what else that cluttered the drink access area.
If u want a dirty, unsanitary, slow and nasty food with horrible service then test test your luck with the Irish.
After grabbing a paper across the street at the 7-11 and realizing it was mid-afternoon and I hadn't eaten all day, I decided to hit this joint for some pub fare. Â What a mistake. Â I would have been better off getting the 2 for $2 Hot Dog deal along with my paper at 7-11! Â
After taking a seat at the bar, the barkeep introduced herself (which was nice), but then ramped into a soliloquy like I've never heard. Â She continued talking... Â and talking... Â and talking... all-the-while complaining about how her tips were down in "this town where there are so many wealthy people".
Uugh!
Anyway:
The Smithwick's was flat, tasted soapy and was not very cold.
The blackened grouper sandwich was greasy and not very well blackened.
The food took a long time to come (I believe I was the only person dining at the time [probably a big red flag, but it is out-of-season]).
Total Bill was $25 before tip -- for tasteless frozen grouper and a warm beer served by someone who said the word 'money' or 'wealthy' more than dozen times.
If only I'd read Yelp! first, or simply had chosen to go hungry -- I would have been much happier -- and wouldn't have felt like I needed a shower afterwards!
Yuk! Â We made the same mistake a few others did. Â We went there without reading the reviews. Â We both had the fried fish special, but first I ordered a Ruben. Â The waiter told me they were out of corned beef. Â I heard him tell the nearby table that they were out of turkey and something else they were interested in. Â We asked what the difference was between the fried fish special and the fish & chips that was on the menu. Â He said the fish & chips was cod and the special was "some kind of white fish," but he didn't know what. Â We substituted O-rings for the potatoes. Â
The Guiness was good, and even had a shamrock in the foam.
When the food was served the liquid from the cole slaw ran all over the plate resulting in the should be crispy fried coating of the fish and onions to be soggy. Â The unknown fish was OK and might have been good if not wet. Â The cole slaw should've been in a side bowl.
Well, then there was the grease. Â After I ate the fish I noticed that in addition to the sea of cole slaw dressing that covered two thirds of the plate; the remaining third was awash in fry oil. Â We accept that fried food has an oil content, but it shouldn't be standing in pools on the plate.
This experience not only ruined lunch, but we fear we might not be able to enjoy supper that we were looking forward to. Â Where's my Underberg when I need it.
I always hate it when I check the yelp! reviews about a minute after I have committed to eating at a business. Â That's what I did at Cathy O'Clarks. Â Luckily, my experience was much better than the other reviewers.
I ordered a grouper reuben sandwich and fries and everything came out great. Â The grouper was cooked just like I like it. Â Not overly fried. The fries were crispy and plentiful. Â My friend ordered a philly steak sandwich and seemed to like it well enough.
The server was fast and friendly. Â He checked on us enough that we got what we needed but not so much that we were bugged by him. Â He did struggle a little with pouring my Guinness, but he made up for it by giving me a little sidecar Guinness deal. Â
I'm not sure I would make a huge point to return to CO'cIP&G when I am in the area again, but my experience was definitely better than the other reviewers.
I was in a group of ten and somehow was the only one carded. I know that has nothing to do with the place but I thought it was odd... there were girls in our group that look 18 so... whatever.
I ordered a black and tan and it was less than mediocre. I don't think the bartender knew how to pour the Guinness over the back of a spoon.
I went to Cathy O'Clarke's on St. Patrick's Day. Needless to say the place was an absolute zoo but it was one of my favorite nights of the vacation. They had an outdoor event with live music and lots of beer (and naturally lots of intoxicated people).
There were a lot of Irish specials that night and my family ended up splitting a bunch of appetizers - I had chicken bites or something that tasted awesome. Being an Irish pub they obviously had a stellar selection of beer and whiskey.
Our waiter was incredibly friendly and even though it was insanely busy, he still managed to give us great service. This place has been knocked by a lot of people on Yelp thus far but I had a blast and think those people should have a beer and enjoy life more.
Clearly I should have taken the time to Yelp this place before going...
We had just checked into the hotel across the street after a day of travelling and saw this place. Â All I wanted was a place to sit, have a beer, some food, and watch the World Series.
The chairs were ungodly uncomfortable, the beer selection was adequate, the food was sub-par, and the TVs were impossible to see.
When the waiter brought us the check (unsolicited) we figured we'd finish our drinks at the bar. Â The bartender brought us a round and then put us on the pay no mind list. Â (It was very obvious that she was once the Homecoming Queen but after her ex husband traded up for a newer model, she had to start bar tending for cigarette money.)
We tipped her poorly and left... Â
I'd recommend Captain Brien's or Rookies in the same strip mall instead.
Why oh why did I not read the reviews before eating here. Good lord it was awful. The (very friendly) waitress tried her best, but she couldn't even handle the 3 tables that were occupied for lunch mid-week. Â The club sandwich I ordered (thought it was safe) was burnt. My friend's grinder came out originally as spaghetti (the cook got confused when he saw "meatball"). I wouldn't venture to try something "irish" off the menu - I saw very little.
I don't know how they are still in business, even considering the location & the tourists flocking from the hotels... it's horrendous
As other reviewers have noted, the only reason this place is still in business is because it's located right next to several hotels full of unsuspecting tourists. I could tell the waitress actually felt bad about serving us food of this quality. It was unimpressive, though not bad, and for what you're paying, obscenely overpriced. $16 for mac and cheese gives you a rough idea of what you're dealing with here. If you don't get a meal that comes with it, a basket of bread costs $5. Seriously.
There's nothing Irish about this place other than that they offer shepherd's pie and corned beef and cabbage. I made the mistake of deciding to try something new, and got a large bowl of soggy tasteless cabbage soaked in beef fat. The corned beef itself wasn't terrible, but they seem to have forgotten the "corned" part of it. It was just floppy, flavorless beef on top of a pile of greasy overcooked vegetables. If you absolutely must eat here, at least go for the fried food. While also pretty greasy and flavorless, fried food is hard to screw up.
Finally, our waitress was clueless. She knew nothing about any of the food that she was serving, other than that it was all lousy. The food took an incredibly long time to arrive and was cold when it did, despite the fact that we were one of two groups in the restaurant. I'd have tipped her poorly, but the restaurant attaches a compulsory 18% tip to parties of 5 or more and won't let you split the tab at all.
Simply put, avoid like the plague. You will not enjoy this place.
First of all my food wasn't bad. I had fish and chips and it was good. That's where the good news stops. The menu was all over the place, the service was awful. Our waiter was nice and accomodating but definitely an amateur. I really think he was the bus boy or dishwasher trying desparately to get a promotion. He had difficulty with taking the orders, and had trouble making change at the end. The menu was a flimsy piece of paper loosely laminated and were a little tatered. For about 15 mins. he kept going back and forth from our table to the kitchen asking the manager I guess how much this and that was. He had absolutely no clue. And on top of it all it was a little more expensive for this type of restaurant. This was the only thing open so we had no choice but geez I would have thought Marco Island would have something better than this. Really do not recommend it but if you have no choice go for something simple.
Review Source:We were on Marco for Christmas and this was one of the only places open.
The food was OK but as others have reported the service was a little off. Although I'm going t give them the benefit of doubt since they were somewhat overwhelmed by the amount of people that showed up and
we were grateful just to have a place to eat.
Good beer selection and your basic bar food at island prices.
