I've only visited this place once and ordered the chicken wings. The wings were fried, sauced (barely), and then thrown on the grill to give them an extra finish. I think the grilling is an extra service one has to request as I did for the wings (so did my buddies who were regulars). The texture of the wing was crunchy, then juicy and the flavor of the grill/charcoal sort of taste was great. However, the wings hardly had any sauce on them. They seemed pretty boring from a wing sauce standpoint. Upon asking for some extra hot sauce, I was brought out a bottle of Louisiana Hot Sauce and told that was all they use for their wings. Being a wing enthusiast, I was disappointed. The wings had a ton of potential, but not having a homeade/house wing sauce or any other varieties to choose from I was saddened. This made me question the rest of their menu and what goes into their recipes. I know I can't judge a place by ordering just chicken wings, but if the effort for the other menu items is similar to the effort in the wing sauce then there's not much effort in trying to get a good flavor profile in one's food. Having a solid order of chicken wings on a menu is pretty damn standard for a bar/pub if you ask me and they sort of half-assed by not finishing the product with a quality sauce. Some might like the bland flavor though, but not me.
My buddy ordered the Chicken Velvet Soup which he ranted an raved about. I didn't feel like soup, but it looked pretty good.
Very much a local pub but the owners and staff make this place truly special. Â This is the "Cheer's" of Carmel. Â Every time I walk in I expect to see dear friends from long ago. Â No request is too big - the Dooley's team goes out of their way to make you feel like family. Â It's the simple things that make this place great (tenderloins, baked beans, cheeseburgers, etc.). Â Life is way too short to waste meals at chain restaurants. Â Support local businesses and get to know the Dooley's team!
Review Source:I stopped by here after being in Carmel and not knowing where to eat and seeing it on Yelp an I am glad I did. The service was very good and our waitress made some suggestions that were really good like the biscuits and apple butter. I got the patty melt and fries and it was very good. The burger was tasty and not over cooked. The waitress was spot on with refills. I can't comment on the alcohol selection really since I rarely ever drink. I would definitely go back here.
Review Source:My boyfriend and I had never been here, so we decided to stop in a couple a weekends ago. The place wasn't very busy for a Saturday night so we got seated right away. Our server was awesome! She was very personable and was on top of it whit drink and food service. Â I think this place is supposed to be modeled after an Irish pub, lots of green leather, gold fixtures and dark wood. Their menu is a diverse selection of Irish/American and American entrees. I had the fish and chips, while my boyfriend had their country fried tenderloin that was on special. With our dinners, were also had a choice between fried biscuits and rolls. We of course went with the fried goodness! They were pretty good, but I couldn't eat more than one. Very heavy and sweet once you put some apple butter on them. Anyways, my boyfriend enjoyed his meal and mine was OK. Definitely have had better fish and chips. Â There just wasn't a lot of flavor to the fish or the breading. Dinner was decently priced, around $25 for our dinner. Not sure that we would go back seeing as we can get the same (but better tasting) food at Muldoons or Claddagh
Review Source:You can't help but love Dooley's if you have lived in Carmel your whole life. Â It is a staple! You can always count on safe Dooley's if you are ever indifferent about where to eat. Â Looking at the menu is a bit strange because you change your idea of what you are in the mood for based on how eclectic the menu is. Â Take parents or grandparents there and they are sure to swoon! Not a date place though, while it does look like a green furry monster exploded inside.
Review Source:Great place, Great Food, Great atmosphere, Great staff. I really don't have anything bad to say about Dooley's. Their prices are more than fair relative to other comparable restaurants, and they have great daily lunch specials.
It's also the only place near where I work that I can watch the World Cup games during my lunch, but it's not a "sports bar" either. (there are only a few tv's, and the audio is muted on all of them in favor of well selected music)
