This place sucks. I've only had food here once, but it was lack luster, and absolutely not worth the money. Everytime I've ever visited at night for drinks I have regretted it. Â Their bouncers are jerks, their servers are meh, The DJ blares obnoxious music from Grace O'malley's ( a bar that adjoins to jocks and is owned by the same people. I don't have anything bad to say about grace O'malley's, except that th DJ is an absolute failure, everytime I go), and the bar tenders strut around the bar ignoring patrons and having holier than thou attitudes. The pool tables are the best part. I'd avoid this place, unless you like intoxicated and obnoxious college kid haunts.
Review Source:We walked in but ended up over at Grace O'Malley's. I think we made the right choice. Some of our party made their way back over to use the pool tables. I'm not sure if it was the manager or not but he kept coming over to check on us as well since he knew there was a 21st birthday in our party.
Review Source:Stopped by with my wife and son for an early dinner on a Saturday while visiting him at ESU. Â Always willing to try a new place. Â This was a BIG mistake however.
Both the dining area and bar were pretty empty. Â A waitress appeared quickly to take our drink order and returned to take our dinner order. Â So far so good.
After waiting 35 minutes from the time our order was placed (in an empty restaurant), our dinners arrived brought by a different waitress (our's had gone off duty).
My wife's meal, crab cake platter was the best of the bunch. Â Not outstanding but OK with the exception of some undercooked carrots.
The corned beef platter that my son ordered was very interesting. Â According to him, the corned beef itself was very good but the potatoes were undercooked and the cabbage was barely cooked. Â Certainly a bad omen.
I ordered Chicken Murphy. Â The chicken and sauce were tasty though the amount of peppers and onions were minimal. Â The potatoes were not undercooked but uncooked. Â I have never seen potatoes served this way. Â
You know there is a big problem when a joint that advertises Irish dishes can't cook boiled potatoes and cabbage. Â Being Celtic myself, I know that the Irish are not known for their cooking skills but come on - potatoes and cabbage are a no-brainer.
The only bright spot was the manager, Ron, who attempted to correct the problem unfortunately I don't believe he had any power over the jocks (or jokes) who were working in the kitchen.
A $55 bill (not including tip) for substandard meals.
Check this one off my list. Â Next visit to ESU will not include a stop at Jock N Jill's.
I'll stick with Siasma Irish Pub just up the block. Â Better brews, better food and better atmosphere.
I guess jocks don't care what they eat while watching the game.
The positive, it's large with a bunch of tv's. The negative...smells like stale beer. Strange crowd. While I was in the bathroom, some dude was in the stall making Kung-Fu sound effects. They have a dartboard, but no darts. They have a pool table.
There should be a sign outside...enter at your own risk.
Great local hang out place! Wings are amazing! You have like 11 flavors to select from ranging from snickers to raspberry chipotle ( my favorite)! There is something going on every night which provides a lot of entertainment... If youre low on cash and need something to do this is the place! Theres one server who absolutely sucks and hates her job but Danielle is great!!!! And a blast to talk to :)
Review Source:Horrible and disappointing. Stopped off with wife and kids for just a snack. Basic sports bar and no real high expectations.
Waited 45 minutes for an order of nachos, chicken fingers and pasta. Took 30 minutes to get nachos and 50 minutes for everything else. Kids were starving. Chicken fingers were dropped on floor. Nachos were so substandard that 7-11 nachos would have been better.
Excuse was that they share a kitchen with two other places. So, they don't know how to manage a restaurant in other words.
Avoid at all costs.
