JJ Mahoney's Irish Pub

It's very pleasant in here. The service is nice, and prices are quite decent. The wolfpack has had two really great nights in here, and I'm sure we'll be coming back a lot more.

Great pub grub.  I usually eat in the bar area and the staff is great.  The nachos are some of the best I have had.  I love their mini burgers.  The newer menu is a great improvement.

This place is a pretty typical restaurant that adds a couple of Irish themed dishes, decor and beers to its menu and then calls itself an Irish Pub.

The food we got wasn't even close to Irish themed, but I do have to say it was pretty good: bacon jalapeno poppers, fried calamari, bacon wrapped shrimp, mac & cheese poppers and onion rings (to name a few). We were there with a group of 6-8 people and shared most of this stuff.

The bacon wrapped poppers and shrimp were awesome. Usually you get these tiny little shrimp that have flabby under cooked bacon somewhere near it. The shrimp were massive and the bacon was cooked to a very dark brown. The poppers were equally well done. I don't know why the rest of the world like flabby undercooked bacon. The calamari was pretty terrible, but also pretty average, if you get what I mean. I guess no one knows how to cook that.

When our group first arrived, the restaurant was nearly empty and they tried to sit us in the most awkward seating arrangement I've even seen. Half of us on some couch in front of a fireplace while the rest of us gathered around or something. They did move us when requested, but I found it odd that they would try to squeeze us into such a strange place to begin with when the place was empty.

We were really there to drink, and drink we did. Our large table was in their dining room area and they sat several families next to us over the course of the night. From what little I remember, we were quite a spectacle. Not sure how much those being sat next to us appreciated that.

All in all, I'd skip this place again. Just another casual dining restaurant trying to brand itself as an Irish pub.
