Had dinner with a family group in the Palm Springs area on 23 March and we selected Tilted Kilt for dinner but I have not written a review until today. Â
We had a large family group which the TK was able to place on the outside patio which worked very well, since the evening weather was just perfect. Â Our server (sorry I have forgot ton her name) was engaging and she accommodated our many needs, including children, older cranky adults and vegan diners. Â She did it without complaint and with a smile the whole time. Â
I had their fish tacos which came with fat pieces of fresh fish in them, and the french fries were just perfect. Â The sauces were superb! I cannot comment specifically for the other dozen family members but all agreed that the food and service were at least a B+ overall, and our group was all over the food and beverage menus.
Beer selection was very good, and I selected the Newcastle which was at the perfect temperature (for Americans, not Scots) and the server was always right on time when the glasses were being lowered towards the empty mark to suggest that it was time for refills.
The only negative-and hence the 4 stars-was that it seemed that waits for food orders were long, even taking into consideration that it was a busy Saturday evening. Â Otherwise a great experience for that type of food and atmosphere and yes, I would favor returning when next in the area.
I love the concept, but the food was really bad. Â The St Pattys day limited menu was BAD!
Drink service was fast, those chicks were hustling. Â The block party was a good idea, but how about having a projection screen of the fight outside, instead of a crappy band? Â Your profits and capacity would have quadrupled, because no one was at the block party, lol
One of owners Russ seemed passionate and sincere, but please improve the food, and maybe add some tables, get rid of the booths they take up valuable space!
$7 for one 20-ounce glass of Dos Equis? Seriously?
Yeah, I get it -- they charge ridiculously exorbitant prices for alcohol because there's all that "eye candy" strolling around. Well, maybe I was there at a bad time (noon on Thursday for lunch), but the value of the girls in kilts was nowhere near worth an extra $2.50 per beer over what is normally charged in the Valley. The only possible rationale for the pricing would have been if I was being charged an extra ten cents per beer for every tramp stamp / other unfortunate tattoo I saw on the "talent" while consuming said beer.
If this was the B-Team working (and I sure hope it wasn't the A-Team), then they should've had a sliding scale, and charged B-Team pricing.
As for food, I had the "Spicy" veggie wrap. Please. My grandmother would not have called that thing spicy. She would have, however, wondered why there were so many longshoremen dressed in kilts, serving beers.
TLDR: Two guys, four beers, a burger, a veggie wrap, and more ink than a herd of frightened octopuses -- $60, with tip.
I went to TK for an early dinner and it was my first time back under the "new management".
I am at a loss for words for the food ... HORRIBLE comes to mind. Â I order a burger and the garlic fries with a side salad. Â Sadly the salad was the highlight of the meal. Â The burger smelled like it was just defrosted. Â Nowhere near the medium rare I ordered. Â The garlic fries was "missing" the garlic! Â Some but not a lot.
Saving grace ... my beer was cold!
First and last time for me.
OK, been back about 4 times since they re-opened in Oct, '12. Happy hour prices are good and the beer is c-o-l-d. The waitresses are really Bimbos though. I won't be back anytime soon because I can't handle DUMB, as in TK waitresses. Plus they now want your credit card if you're running a tab, kinda cheesy.
Review Source:I wanted to let you all know that I enjoyed hanging out at the bar tonight.
Mikey is a great bartender and served up a great Black and Tan.
The wings were decent. I would order the sweet and spicy again. The hot version was not nearly as good.
Great place to watch football and throw back a few brews!
Came in on a Tuesday night, it was pretty empty. Â Service was semi slow and the food was not too great. The menu is pretty limited and nothing unique there. I ordered a chicken wrap that came drowned mystery "tilt sauce" (Franks red hot) and the fries were cold and hard, I don't recommend it. The Sierra Nevada was super cold and delicious. I wouldn't come here to eat again but I would certainly come here to drink after a long day at work. It is certainly unique and I really wanted it to be an above average spot, but currently it's just not.
Review Source:My husband and I went to the Tilted Kilt last night for dinner and we were both pleasantly surprised. We had eaten here once about 2 years ago and it was awful everything from the food to the service. After hearing that there was new management and changes to the menu we thought we'd give it another try. First, the service was fantastic! Our waitress was very enthusiastic and helpful. The food was really good especially the sweet potato fries. Honestly the best sweet potato fries I've had and I've tried a lot.
Review Source:Now, let me start off by saying that I love being served food and beer by a half naked hottie just as much as the next guy (even though I'm a woman), but these girls acted more and more like strippers as our dinner continued.
These waitresses are definitely hired for their credentials.. their big perky credentials. I went here with my boyfriend and his parents for his 22nd birthday and let's just say that it was awkward and only got worse and worse. Our waitress was a blonde who didn't have much going on upstairs and an abundance of daddy issues (perfect, right?). She would make her tips by serving beers by bringing them balanced on her head, and at times we all had to admit that it was definitely impressive. We asked her how she got so good at it and she stated that she used to bring her dad beer like that from the time she was seven years old... wahh wahh wahhhhhhh.
Being that it was my boyfriends birthday, she and five other waitresses came and tied him to his chair using a bunch of balloons. So, he basically got a face full of boobs. She then told him that she wanted to write "sexy" on one of his balloons but that she had gotten written up for it in the past, so she just decided to verbally tell him. Yeah... that's just not okay. If you're that desperate for tips, go work at a strip club, seriously.
Anyways, moral of the story: mediocre food, okay beer, and desperate waitresses who try too hard to push the boundaries between waitress and stripper.
I went here after a long tiring work day and just wanted a good steak and a beer. I was "greeted" by some apathetic staffers and went to the bar where it looked like 2 strippers (one even referred to herself as "Cookie") who were there on off nights tending bar. The Guinness was flat, and my medium steak was nowhere near medium. As I write this, I realize they also forgot my side of veggies! Doesn't matter though, I was eager to leave. The onion rings were good, thats it.
Review Source:For a first experience, I was less than impressed. Â
The atmosphere is nice, and the hostesses are great; that would be the extent of my positive experience.
My food was good; but the appetizer and meal arrived at the same time, which just shouldn't happen. Not the kitchen's fault, but the waitress'. Then the busboy cleared my food and drink before I was finished, also the waitress' fault. Â It took another 20 minutes to get my check, ended up having to have the manager get it for me. Â Then I was charged fully for food and drinks I didn't get to finish because they screwed up.
It also helps if you are already a friend of the waitresses here apparently, they are actually attentive then. Otherwise, they'll ignore you.
reincarnation of hooters concept.... beautiful women but instead of the cheesy dove shorts they are scantly clad in that school-girl quasi catholic/ Scottish ensemble. Â
Wanna see sports? Â Fantastic place, and the food is actually better than you would expect.... Â if you were blind (like a friend of mine).... not so much.
Monday night football is fun but eat before as orders come out incorrectly, and, hey, I get it they are SLAMMED.. snacks/apps can get you through.
It is what it is.. college bar with hot girls and better than expected food....
there once a month on biz....on the off times... yes.. HOT nice girls.
First reaction: What a cool place with servers who wear practically nothing!...the food is pretty good, or is it just the girls?
Second reaction: Went in for a couple of beers with some friends, the house beer is actually pretty good...and the service is okay, we waited a while before anyone got to us, but then again, the place is easy on the eyes.
Final reaction: Went for lunch and really paid attention to the food...if you rate the food on a purely "bar food" basis, then its not all that bad. However, if you go beyond that, you'll find that the food is overly greasy and lacks in variety...
...overall, the place isn't bad, but if they put as much work into having the food taste as good as the servers look, then they might get somewhere!
We loved it!!!
The staff is so attentive and friendly. The place is clean, food is great and the drinks arrive promptly. Everything a sports bar should be.
Plenty of big screen, HD TVs to watch the games. Not a bad seat in the house. Â They also show Pay Per View fights at $10 cover. Plenty of parking and the patio has tons of misters and umbrellas.
The Tilted Buffalo Wings were great, served with fries. Not too fatty and just the right kick. If you like it a little spicier, they have the Kilt Burner Wings. The Blue Cheese dressing they serve with it is fantastic.
The Pastrami Sandwich, Reuben Style, is flavorful on a delicious marble rye bread.
They have a limited time "Flavorites" menu, that I hope they decide to keep. The potato skins and steak salad on the menu are incredible. The potato skins are served with sour cream and a delicious horseradish cream. (not to be mistaken with horseradish sauce, almost like ranch with a kick). The steak in the salad is cooked to your preference and is tender and delicious. Every bite has all the flavors and is a great size.
As of right now, it is our favorite sports bar. A little pricey for bar food, but you're definitely getting what you pay for.
Only place in town I could catch my local NHL team in the Stanley Cup playoffs! No luck at any casino, only other place was The Beer Hunter, which is a step down from this joint, for sure. 40 HD bigscreens, are you kidding me?! They sat us and within 2 minutes the game was on & I had a cold Newcastle in front of me. Very tasty Sheppards Pie.
Review Source:My husband and his friends wanted to watch the UFC fight and they didn't know where. I went on yelp on my phone and I found a bunch of sports bar and I came upon Tilted Kilt to be the closest. I called and they said the fight was $10.
Right when we walked in, we saw the waitress wearing Scottish school girl outfit with push up bras for their boobs to hang out. My first thought was, ohhh no.. They're probably those stuck up girls.
We got seated. The guys ordered their beers with Nacho and I got my strawberry margarita. My husband loved it. He said it was good. The nacho wasn't as good as I expected. There was a big potion of chips with little topping and the chips is a bit too salty. Later, we ordered the wings and it was good! There's only 8 pieces with fries on the side. And if you wanna double it, you just pay 5$ more for it.
When the fight started, they turned off the music and changed all the channels to the UFC fight. The tv was placed everywhere so you can watch it easily and with very high volume. Also, we end up paying $5 a person to watch the fight and with our hands marked with a blue marker. I'm not really sure how it works because I saw that we were the only one being marked. Maybe they paid before they got in? Or we got ripped?
They also have pool tables and a golf course. The atmosphere is a nice place to hang out and to grab a drink. My husband and his friends don't mind coming back here again.
Oh and I was right about the stuck up girls. They will try to be friendly and flirt with people, but ONLY to get fat TIPS. If they're not your waitress, they will be rude and scandalous.
Don't bother asking for their numbers because they get hit on all the time. They will give out their numbers only for them to text you back "don't even think about it." So, don't waste your time. Like I said, they're only trying to be friendly for one reason, TIPS.
Since Yelp doesn't have a listing for the one in Sherman Oaks on Woodman Ave, I'm writing this one here. I'm just going to assume any watering hole that has the audacity to call itself "the Tilted Kilt" is probably the same as any other that shares that name. So feel free to damn the one in Palm Desert with the same name.
You walk in off the street and it looks like a bar in a strip mall. Perhaps Radio Shack occupied this slot in former times. The only draw to this place is it is possibly the largest collection of douche bags in one place in the entire SF valley. I mean, this could be the biggest ego booster possible for you and your friends. Just walk in and look around and immediately you'll feel better! There's no way you could be lower than these D-bags! Not possible. But wait it gets worse! You then see the chicks they're with and even though the chicks aren't hot, you'll still pissed to see them with anything that has two X chromosomes anyway.
The bar tenders suck. I mean how hard is it to pour a beer? Mixed drinks? Forget about it! Her GED didn't cover that material. The bartenders look like they may have been in a few bargain bin XXX movies. You know? The ones you pay less than $4.95 that have 8 hrs on them?
All in all, the best thing to do with this place is pop your head in and instantly feel better than everyone else...then promptly leave.
I am always concerned that places like this where the waitresses wear hot little outfits are all appearances and no substance. Â We actually had a good experience at Tilted Kilt. Â Our waitress was very attentive and engaged in decent conversation.
The bigger surprise is that the food is actually good. Â We had the potato nachos for our appetizer. Â They were very good. Â When we asked for no tomatos the waitress asked if we wanted something else instead and she made a couple decent recomendations. Â We added onions and jalapenos to ours.
I had the chicken fried chicken for my entree. Â It was pretty good, and it was a good sized portion. Â The mashed potatos were good. Â The cheesy garlic toast was excellent. Â It was smothered in cheese.
It is a louder sports bar type of environment, but it is a fun place to watch some games or eat a good meal.
I should have known better... My family and I came here after being told that the wait was 45 minutes for the Olive Garden next door. We were hungry and tired after hiking at Joshua Tree during the day. So we walked into this dimly lit place that looked closed from the outside, but were lured in because another family with kids was walking in at the same time we were. Once inside, we were greeted by a group of girls who were sitting around looking bored wearing ill-fitting Scottish Cheerleader costumes, push-up bras & too much makeup.
Our waitress was friendly enough, but had no concept of kid-sized drinks. She brought a solid 16-20oz  glass of water for my 5 yr-old. This would have been okay, but the other gal who brought the over-salted food out to our table knocked the full glass over into my wife's lap! That B$%#$! didn't even attempt to make an apology to my wife for the unexpected cold bath, but just said, "I'll send someone to clean that up." and walked away.
I still tipped our waitress, she did the minimum, and it obviously sucks working at that place unless you're serving a big, drinking, high-tipping group of guys who like tilted kilts.
I knew what The Tilted Kilt was before I walked in the door. Â However I wasn't prepared for the attitude of the girls at the host/merchandise counter. Â We asked to be seated at a table that we didn't have to walk down steps to get to because my boyfriend's father was with us and he used a walker. Â After a brief tour of dragging us around the restaurant and Dad shuffling behind us we were finally seated in the far back corner nowhere near a storage room. Â The decor was kind of dark inside like a typical bar - there is a huge rectangle shaped bar in the middle of the restaurant. Â The uniforms at first were cute and then I really got a look at them - I felt like I was at a strip club missing the poles and the girls were all wearing the same minimal slutty Catholic School Girl costumes that you see around Halloween time. Â But hey at least there was something else to look at other than the 90% male patrons here.
The food was good - we ordered garlice fries, the sausage sandwich, grilled chicken sandwich and a couple of burgers. Â The Stella was nice and cold also (my favorite) - they had a lot of beers here on tap and in a bottle that you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else - the good ones they were out of but she said they always have Stella. Â The menu was pretty small for the size of the place and I was a bit disappointed to see that there wasn't much traditional "pub" food on the menu.
The waitress that took our order and the one that brought our food were quite nice and friendly even offering suggestions of the most popular dishes. Â At the end of the meal when we were paying our tab, our main waitress asked us to vote for her on the website as a candidate for the calendar - which we did. Â She was actually one of the nicer girls there. Â We've been back since and even though the girls at the host/merch stand were still unfriendly the service and the food were still really good.
This is a fine establishment to call on after a round of golf in the desert as I did last week. There is really only one reason to go here- the super hot, scantily clad waitresses that take flirting to the next level. These girls took the AP courses on flirtation and I'm sure they realize tremendous tips.
Look, the menu here is typical bar food that is just OK. Full bar, TVs everywhere, bunch of Irish, Scottish and British flags and stuff on the walls. This place doesn't know what it is but it is anything but an authentic across the pond pub. No Irish bar would ever have the Union Jack hanging on the wall and vice versa.
OK, back to the reason you come here. The gals are smoking with short tartan skirts, plunging tops, tattoos and super flirtatiousness that puts a Hooters girl to shame.
It's a guilty pleasure!
You know what most people hate on this place because the girls are scantly clad, but I don't think that is exactly fair. First of all almost any girl that goes here is going to hate on the servers because like it or not these girls are cute, and they are good at their jobs (which is buttering up the guys to get better tips).
    I literally live right down the street from this restaurant so I have been here a couple of times already. One time in particular I was there with two other guys and one girl. The girl started off by talking all kinds of smack, but that did not last long because when our server go there she started talking to her about LeBron James and the Cavs. So now all three guys and even the girl at the table are in a good mood. Everyone happy? Check- one star.
    The food here is very average, nothing to write home about, but not to bad either. I had bacon cheeseburger, and I enjoyed it. None of us hated our food. The reason they only get three stars though is that today when I went there I walked in and ordered the same cheese burger that I had last time, but this time it was to go. Everyone was very nice and polite while I was waiting for my food which only was about 10 minutes. One girl did ask me if I was applying there....Uhhh I said no, and had a visual of myself in a Kilt and tied off white shirt.....but anyway the to-go food straight out sucked, no two ways about it, I don't know if having a hot server talk to you while you eat you food makes it taste better or not, but this time was not tasty, but I will be back I am sure.
Starts- Hot Servers
      Tons of TVs
       Pool Tables
       Good Music
       Great Bar
Benched- To go food sucks
          Electric Darts, Really?
         Mediocre Food
Yes, I went there, quit looking at me like that. Soooo...
I pull into the parking lot mid day Sunday and see a girl using the window of her car to check out her houchie short -short wearing ass. I'm guessing she's a day, or two above the age of twenty-two. She was with her friend, a fellow houchie short-short wearing comrade who was not as concerned how how her ass looked in her shorts. As a neutral third party, I could not tell which ass was better. They went to a booth, I went to the bar.
So now I am in this Celtic paradise. I sit at the bar. I ask for a beer that is advertised (Shiner Bock.) They are out. Shocker. I order a Stella. I am told it has a really nice orgasmic finish on the tongue by my bartender. She is one of two I have mentally nicknamed "twin tramp stamps" due to the exaggerated, and permanent ink above the money shot area on both of them. I attempt to figure out what the F the tattoos are supposed to be. I decide I don't give a shit. One of the twins tells me that I am lucky to have such a cold frosty glass on such a hot day. I am thinking, "yes, I am lucky."
My take, because I am now done with this review...
Shit hole. Lot's of dumb asses, and one retard (seriously, a retard.) There are a lot of the old bastards who come to look at the local young talent, inclusive of the twin tramp stamps. There is also a large group of new drinkers (picture "does my ass make me look hot when I check it out in the car window?")
Come here when beer hunter is too packed, or when your over aged Corvette buying balding ass thinks you can score an alleged hottie. For me, when I get the urge, I'll just stick a hot glass rod up my urethra.
We came here over the weekend and here is my analysis.
Loud sports bar.
Attentive, friendly waitresses.
Small limited menu. (not many Irish pub dishes to choose from)
Reasonable prices on menu.
GREAT garlic fries. (don't order if you are on a date. You will smell of garlic all night) WAIT... If your date brings you here you should leave him  ASAP....
Waitresses wearing mini kilts and bearing a lot of skin. (therefore tons of men are here)
Strong poor. Bad Tom Collins.
Yeah, this its just another sports bar not necessarily a pub in my eyes. I really miss Durty Nelly's which used to be down the street from this place and that was a nice Irish Pub. I tried the shepard's pie and it was all right. Trader Joes has a fabulous delishhhhhh one that is vegan and has more flavor to it. Ummmmm nothing memorable here. The previous reviewer mentioned that there was not happy hour. Well, they have one now. Forgot what times. Phone for the hours. Hmmm yeah it was fun to try something different while visiting the desert. But, I wouldn't come out of my way again when in the area.
Get real. Â Having spent many years worth of dinners in Irish pubs in Chicago, Boston, and New York I can tell you without doubt - this one doesn't get it. Â Food was marginal - no self respecting Irish pub serves frozen, pre-battered fish. Â Chips? Supposed to be fresh cut on the premises. Â Expect three identical small fish pieces on top of a handful of frozen fries at this establishment.
This is an over-priced tartan-themed Hooters - and nothing more. Â The couple sitting next to me - New Orleans natives - expressed the same sympathies.
