I had the shrimp and grits. It was very good, I would order it again. The grits were very cheesy and the shrimp were well cooked. My wife had the fish and chips and she enjoyed that as well. She really liked the tartar sauce.

I'm always seeking Irish pubs with good food, and this is by far one of the best Irish Pubs I've been to in the states. Food was top notch and so flavorful. The place was busy, and they had trad music playing in the background. Very busy, but I could see why. I'll definitely be back for another pint and something else on the menu. The Shepard's pie was the best I've ever had and I will be trying to make this version at home.

I have to give this place a 5.0.. We had a party of six after attending the Nutcracker ballet. The server was so attentive and truly did an amazing job covering the whole restaurant. Our food dishes were cooked perfectly; and so flavorful. The atmosphere reminds me of local pubs on the East coast. We will be returning!

Awesome irish pub in a historic building. Great food and drinks. We had the bangers and mash, stuffed portobello, and spicy margaritas. I finished with an expresso martini. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend

Excellent food! Our party of 5 stopped in at noon on 4th of July and had a great lunch. Kaden was a great server and very helpful! We had the corned beef and cabbage, fish tacos, captain's platter, dirty bird samwitch, and fish and chips. Everyone enjoyed their food!

Oh my gauwd! This was the best meal I have had in Eureka. We went on Easter. I had the special. Mashed taters, ham, carrots, and apple chutney (I think that was what it was called). Everything was cooked perfectly. Real potatoes with real butter. Two ham steaks. Cooked perfectly. The carrots were even fricken amazing. I would give this place 100 stars if I could. My husband had sausage with ground mustard on a roll with sauerkraut. He said best combo and best sauerkraut he ever had.

The cheese burger and fries were absolutely delicious and my top 5 places for sure for burgers and excellent customer service and great little place to eat can't wait to try more of the menu next time

Had the most amazing bangers and mash along with a delicious shepherd’s pie They also had an excellent cocktail menu — we tried The Cat’s Pajamas and The Frisky Kitty , both fantastic! Wonderful atmosphere , incredible service , and mouthwatering food all around!
