I've been to the "IT" twice now for dinner and drinks. Â Their food was surprisingly delish! Â On my first visit I ordered the Chicken Pita Wrap and that was absolutely perfect and their fries were right on! Â The second time I was there I had the Tavern Toss Salad with their chicken tenders and it was very tasty.
My only gripe about this place is on my 2nd visit their our waitress was not very nice actually she was borderline kind of rude. Â She seemed like she was having a bad day. Â When placing my food order I had difficulty deciding which salad to get and she seemed agitated by me. Â Then when we got our bill we nicely asked her to split the bill for us and she very bluntly crumpled up our bill and walked away without saying anything.
Even though I had that one bad experience, it will not stop us from returning again for their yummy chicken tenders!
Yea i know five star for a cinder block bar? But wait here is how I a came up with the five star rating.
1. Selection: (5 star) Great Irish whiskey selection and great beer selection with great prices (Wednesday is 3$ Irish beer day )
2. Food: (4 star) Great burgers and unique Irish theme food perfectly prepared (my burger was medium rare my buddy's was medium exactly the way we ordered) The huge burger was so good we almost got a second. Sundays they run a smoker with different foods every week (ribs, smoked meatloaf) with great prices.
3. Cleanliness(5 stars) The Kitchen was spotless 'nuff said
4. Pricing: (5 star) daily specials for 5.99 (Wednesday is burger day)
5. Service: (4 star) I took of 1 star off for the fact i was ignored until I bellied up to the bar service was great after that.
I love a place that exceeds expectations. IT did just that, I expected a local dive bar and got well prepared quality food and a knowledgeable friendly staff all for a great price. I plan to dig deeper into their menu and their beer selection.
P.S. their wine selection is horrible but if you go to a Irish Tavern for wine Shame on You.
