  Dropped in here again en route to Stratford.  Still the same good food, huge portions, and nice atmosphere... though it gets very loud when crowded.  Especially if the people are loud.
  
  This time, I tried a chicken tikka boxty.... it was.....kinda heavy on sour cream I thought.  The chicken tikka was okay but a bit bland, even by "pub" standards I thought.  The boxy itself, though, was very good.  I think I would suggest getting one of the other flavors and maybe the sour cream on the side...  
  My companion had a special (I think) of grilled fish on a bed of mashed sweet potatoes, and covered with a black bean salsa. ......I personally wasn't fond of it, though the individual components were tasty.  She really enjoyed it though, and thought the flavors went together nicely...though she did point out it probably had been under a warming light for a bit.  
  Still, very good overall.  The apple pastry for dessert was decent too, though I think the chocolate bread pudding is superior.

  Selection of food and drinks are always good.  Portions might be a little small at times but overall a classy pub that makes nights memorable. Enjoy the patio on summer weekends.

  Every time I find myself in the lovely little part of Ontario named Sarnia, I go to Paddy Flaherty's.  My grandparents have been taking me here since I was a young kid, and I still never get tired of coming here.  Just about everything I've ordered from the menu has been good, and the service is usually very good as well.  The pies are all very good, and I typically end up ordering either the chicken one or the seafood one.  Additionally, this restaurant has a wonderful outdoor seating area that is very pleasant on beautiful days.

  Went here on a busy Friday night, we were waiting for our friends so we sat at the bar. The bartender ended up asking us to find other seats as that was the bands seats (that was playing at the time). Okay, we moved seats and was told again that someone else was sitting there. These are empty chairs with no drinks on the counter and the band had 4-5 members in it taking up most of the bar. We ended up sitting on some weird trunk thing because there was no where else to sit down and order a drink.
  
  When we did get a table we found there was no drink specials (OK its a Friday) but the pints of beer were $8 and bottles were $5. These were the most insanely high beer prices I have ever heard from a pub. Even having lived in Vancouver for over two years I have never went anywhere with a $8 pint.
  
  I ordered the fish and chips, and when they came they were perfect identical little triangle shaped fishes in very thick batter. It was very clear they came straight from the freezer into the fryer. But when the pint is almost as expensive as the entree I guess you can't expect much.

  I went with two co-workers on a Tuesday night.  There were only a few staff working that night.  They told us that there would be a half-hour wait for a table.  We said OK, we'll wait at the bar.  Unfortunately, all of the bar stools were full.  There were several empty tables, but the bartender wouldn't let us sit at them.  I spied a small RESERVED sign at one of the tables.  Maybe they were expecting a large group? I'm giving it 2 stars because it says "Meh. I've experienced better".  This is not a rating of the food or service.

  Was very thankful when a local resident had recommended this restaurant to me as I was there for business my first time.
  Located by the waterfront, no clear view of the maria per say but is distant from all the traffic and buildings which is nice.
  Huge patio with full sun, some tables with umbrellas. Flowers all over were blooming and lush. No music that I noted on patio during the time I was there but appears later in evening Friday/Saturday they do have a stage set up for a live band on the patio.
  HUGE selection of different beers to the point our awesome waitress brought me a sample glass of a beer that was new to me which I thought was fantastic of her! Food was also amazing! Prime Rib Burger and steak meal were made perfectly! Great selection of food and desserts! Great service and no complaints at all. Parking was plentiful which was a nice surprise.
