Rambling House

i was surprised to find an Irish Pub still in the Bronx.  It was a great find by my son in law.  The two of us and my grandkids (they love Irish Pubs) went for dinner as my daughter was working.

A lively noise Irish Pub.  Everyone is having fun, a great fun-group singing in their beers.

The food was good , the beer cold and the waitstaff was outstanding .

Just like  a Ireland local pub.

We ate inside because the smoking area was right next to the outdoor eating area and it was not very pleasent.  That was the only thing stopping me from giving it a 5* reveiw.

I would go back the next time I am in NYC.

Fun hangout spot! Great beer and food selection for bar food. I love their appetizer sampler platter. I find myself here quite often!

Yelp let me down on this one. I'm SHOCKED this place has 4 stars.

This was not a great experience. We sent our appetizer back and the rest of it was barely edible.

We ordered:

Spinach and Artichoke Dip: This was the strangest dip I've ever seen. It was pureed and had the color and consistency of split pea soup. I really wish I had taken a picture of it. I've never seen anything like it. The grossest part was that I found a soggy chip at the bottom of it, like the dip was recycled.

Gaelic Burger: Decent, not great. Ordered medium rare and got a well done burger.

Nachos: Chips, canned chicken and a greasy cheddar cheese sauce. The sour cream that came with it looked like it was taken from someone else's empty plate.

Our server was amazing. I hate to complain about meals (especially since the issues came from the kitchen, not her), but she was friendly and super helpful, and notified the manager of our issue right away, without us asking.

The best part about this place is the price of the drinks. Smithwicks pints are $4.50 and cocktails are $5.

***Also, be advised that the photo of the cockroach that is in the photo section was NOT found in this restaurant. A Google image search will show that it is a stock photo and clearly left by someone with a deeper agenda.
