Mick Morgan's

Mick Morgan's does a great job at capturing the quintessential Irish Bar atmosphere. The bar itself is even a beautiful piece of woodwork imported from an old pub in Ireland. Spacious, well-run, with a bar staffed with workers who speak with a brogue, the atmosphere is complete. The food isn't bad, some items are better than others - however Mick Morgan's does corned beef the way it should be. Large helpings, and delicious, try their corned beef sandwich and you won't be disappointed.

I have been to the Mick Morgan's in Newton, kept driving by this one on Rt. 1 so much that we just decided to stop here for dinner this past Saturday night.  It was pretty busy on the patio, the hostess asked if we prefer to sit inside or out, I said it didn't matter, whichever one that has less of a wait.  She suggested that sitting inside would be quicker, and she was right.  She made us wait 5 minutes, making sure that the table was set, before another girl lead us inside.

Upon seating at our booth, we noticed that the table was not cleaned up.  Someone had just taken dirty dishes away, there were still beer glasses on the table, and a big puddle of water on the side of the table.  No one came back to clean this up, so my husband had to use his napkin to wipe off all the water and other stuff that was on the table.  Gross.

The waitress was ok, not someone who impressed me, but she did her job.  We got an order of the whole-bellied clams for appetizer, it was probably the best thing we've had the entire meal.  Hubby ordered the shepard's pie and I got the sirloin dinner.  Hubby liked the shepard's pie, I took a bite but thought it was bland.  I was very disappointed with my meal - the sirloin steak was cooked to more medium than medium rare.... it came with tasteless mashed potatoes and a side of veggies that consisted of celery (yuck!), red bell peppers and squash.  Not a big fan of my meal, but I ate it anyway.  I don't think the waitress came back to check on our meals at all, until the end of our meal she came by to see if we wanted dessert or more beer.

Overall, I disliked my meal, but I really enjoyed their fried whole-bellied clams.  I will give this place another shot, probably getting a different entree next time.  However, it might take a few months, cuz I'm not in any hurry to come back anytime soon.

Great for watching a game outside at the bar, great food,  and I highly recommend the bloody Mary's!
