Kerrymen Pub

This review is for the restaurant downstairs...

Haven't been here in a few years.  A short time ago they had a fire which resulted in a renovation and supposedly a new menu, so we thought we'd give it another go.  Big mistake.

How does a cup of corn chowder come to the table with film on it?  Really.  Scoop to serve?  It had to have been sitting under a heat source or something.  Bland, tasteless.

Steamed clams on special.  Ordered them.  They were good, but, again, bland.  The "butter" was an oil/margarine blend, not butter.  For an Irish Pub, though, how about kicking things up a level - like steaming the clams with Guinness or something to give it an Irish twist.  Lazy.

Daughter ordered the thanksgiving meal.  Potatoes bland, under-seasoned with watery, bland gravy.  Stuffing was box/stove-top style.  Not good.

I ordered a cheeseburger.  Waitress didn't ask about my temperature preference, and walked away, so I had to call her back to tell her that I wanted it medium-well.  It came to the table well done.  My wife's french fries never made it to the table, although it did make it onto the bill.  Disorganized.

Even with this many problems, I thought of just writing a letter to the owners. However when I was paying, a woman who was either the manager or one of the owners (she was handing out paychecks) was scolding a waitress that she believed had given a customer free gravy on her mashed potatoes.  Yes.  That's right.  At this restaurant you have to pay extra for tasteless watery gravy if you want something on top of your mashed potatoes.  The woman said, "When you go to a restaurant and ask for gravy, you should expect to pay for it.  It doesn't come free."  The waitress asked "how much" and the woman replied, "50 cents.  It's 50 cents."  A moment later, the waitress realized that it had, in fact, been added to the bill - and the computer charged "35 cents"  So the waitress was yelled at (in front of customers no less) for nothing, and the manager even didn't even know the right price."

This was the final straw for me.  I'm convinced that they're going through the motions and don't actually care about their customers.  I won't be back.

Dined downstairs in the non-bar area. I had the ShepherdsvPie. There was a lot of it it was okay but not great. Kind of bland. For some reason it was really hot in there even though they h ad AC.

This is a review of the upstairs portion of the resteraunt. The area was ok at best it was a rectangle bar, so it had good flow. How ever I was kinda surprised to see kids and them offering wii games on certen days, not that having a gaming night isnt but but allowing kids in a PUB area isnt a good choice.

I had the rubin with some Boston Luger.  The robin was very good I liked it but the bear tasted like crap. then again Not there fault, the issues is the service was a bit slow. Other then that a Ok place.
