Limey's Pub

i went to this place for the first time for the pats opening day this year. it's a great place. james the bartender is a great guy and is very friendly and pays attention to his customers. the food keith makes is delicious and the atmosphere is great. i highly recommend this place to everyone. oh and the owner is smokin which is a plus hehe

I hate down town and avoid it like the plague however I was happy to see a non Brazilian place there and high hopes for it based on the good reviews. It was pretty terrible, and at closer review all the good reviews are pretty old - that explains my disappointment.

When we walked in we were the only ones in the bar. The bartender was nice enough but the cook was sitting in a chair and looked po'd we were there and like he just got out of prison.

My first let down was the menu - there were no signs of shepherds pie or bangers and mash as other yelpers have talked about, but oh well not a huge deal. The menu is very small and limited to basically just chicken apps, nachos, chili, chicken sandwiches, and one burger. I asked about the other items I had read about and they seemed to not know what I was talking about and the cook thought real hard and said they may have had them over a year ago. We ordered buffalo chicken fingers and chili. They were out of blue cheese so they offered ranch which was fine. We ordered a beer and waited for our food. And waited. And waited and waited.

While we were waiting a few other couples came in that appeared to be regulars so we weren't alone anymore.

About 40 minutes after we ordered our food finally arrived. the waitress apologized that it took so long but everything was turned off in the kitchen so it took awhile (I assume she meant the fryer). This wouldn't have been a huge deal but she should have said something to prepare us for the wait when we ordered.   The chicken was just obviously frozen from a bag then fried. The chili arrived with a glob of congealed cheese on top. Both items were ice cold which was inexcusable: (a) the cook should have called for the waitress or brought it out himself or (b) the waitress should have checked on our Damn food. We let her know it was cold and she apologized and brought it back into the kitchen. A few minutes later it arrived back hot. It was edible but not very good. As I mentioned the chicken was obviously not made from scratch and the cheese on the chili was now gone(?) And was pretty bland and tasted like glue. The waitress took them both off the bill without us asking since they were cold. I would never return though.

limey's is wicked pissa.  I really like the bartenders, the fish and chips and the bar glasses.  it's worth the trip.
