Sullivans Irish Pub & Eatery

Came here last night before going to Mid Oak Distillery. The bar comfort food was very good. I personally had the Reuben sandwich and a nice pint of Guinness. I will definitely come back. The hostess and waiter were both very friendly and made us feel at home. Next time we are in Midlothian this will be a definite consideration for lunch or dinner.

Met a few friends for drinks on a Friday - early, around 6:30.   The place is really nice inside - lots of wood, big space, clean.   Service was good - started off at the bar with a Cosmo, which was made right.  

Moved to a table when others arrived and had a great waitress.   A few more martinis and then we headed to our next destination.  

This review is only for drinks and atmosphere.   I looked over the menu, and nothing jumped out at me.  I also looked over their band schedule and will be back to check that out.  Not sure what the crowd will be like when it is croweded.

I was there for lunch on 4/27/12.  The place is really nice inside.  The decor is fitting for the type of establishment it is, but on a sunny day, it's really difficult to see when you're inside.  The light shines through the front windows and your eyes never really adjust, since it's so dark inside.  Some sort of tint on the windows would be really helpful.

I wish I had more good things to say.  My dad, sister and I waited about 45 minutes to receive our food.  It wasn't a difficult order, it was a burger, soup and something called a Boxty.  I'm not kidding.  That's all we ordered, and it took about 45 minutes to make that.  The restaurant wasn't busy at all.  There were 5 people in the restaurant when we came in, and they had already ordered.  Two more came in after we ordered.  I'm really confused why it took so long.  Oh, and don't expect the Boxty to look like it does in the menu's pictures.

My sister said the soup was okay.  My dad said his Boxty was okay.  I ordered the Bacon Cheddar burger with house-made chips on a pretzel roll.  Well, the menu said "pretzel roll" so I assumed that's what I would get.  My burger came out on a bun about twice the size of the burger.  This was some seriously hefty bread, folks.  I asked the server about the pretzel roll and she didn't know what the menu said and was generally confused by it all.  I told her not to worry about it.  I thought, "Maybe they ran out of pretzel rolls."  That is, until I looked at my sisters bowl of soup and saw half of a pretzel roll sitting there.  Oh well, it's just bread.

The burger itself was beyond bland.  The cheddar had been most melted off and it had one slice of bacon, cut in half.  The meat had zero seasoning.  It just tasted like ground beef formed into a patty.  Nothing more, nothing less.  It was about a $3.50 burger they're charging $7 for.  The house-made chips were good, but would have been better had they let them cook all the way through.  No one likes chewy chips.

If you're going out for drinks, I'm sure this is going to be a nice place to hang out, and maybe see some live music.  I just don't recommend the "eatery" aspect of it.  Especially if you're on lunch break from work and only have a short amount of time.
