The cook smoking a cigar while handling food with bare hands at the bar
Jill T.

Truly heartbroken to say that one of my former favorite spots has gone to shit. I just went to BJ's for lunch. Usually good vibes are had by all and there's no issues. Not this time. We arrived at 1:01pm and did not get our food until 1:47. The cook, while holding a cigar in his mouth, regularly was coming out from the kitchen to break down boxes and work with some of the frozen food ON THE BAR WITH BARE HANDS. At one point, he broke down a box sitting there and then went back to moving food with his bare hands. We ordered pops, water, an appeitizer, and 3 meals each. The first thing to arrive was a hamburger. Then the appeitizer (5 minutes after) followed by the other 2 meals (a pizza puff & cod with fish). Then i was still waiting on my cajun fries. When the fries did eventually come, I tried some and realized it was just well done regular fries. I told the waitress that I tried the fries and they werent cajun, which she gave me an attitude stating they were. The photo below clearly shows that there is no cajun seasoning on them. She did take it off the bill, which was kind, but honestly will never be returning and shared the photos with my friends who were also patrons. Anyone who wants to eat there deserves to know how their food is being handled, let alone that service will take an hour and if they're wrong, no you are.

Chicken tender meal

Always a great beer selection. Burgers are always worth the wait. Also has a cool beer garden in summer.

The pizza was so good I had to bring my parents back to try it the following week. This is a…read moresouthside Irish bar with great food! We loved the pot roast poutine and again, the pizza was my fave. The service was fine, the staff was busy and running around. But friendly when we did see them. The ambiance is what you'd expect from the location and type of establishment. No big surprises. I'll go back for the pizza when I'm in the area.

This review is one that should've been done a very, very-LONG time ago. We've been coming to this…read morefine establishment for 4+ years. Since then, we've had the privilege to sample quite a few items on the menu- and can't say that one was mediocre or needing improvement. One of their top appetizers would be the pot roast egg rolls- mouth watering, filling and very satisfying. However, today I'd like to talk about their breakfast menu and the service that makes your meal even better. We've come to the conclusion that Clancy's (on 103rd) is by far our go to breakfast place- no questions asked. Dana, who is the opener, manager, bartender, server & class act- is who makes us keep coming back. You know she cares about her clientele- always greets us by our first names-she knows what we drink- remembers it- and has our breakfast orders memorized, as well. Of course, she verifies if we're doing the same- and of course- we always do. If you haven't met her- you probably should- great sense of humor- the sarcasm is on point and an overall- real, down to earth, kind person to start your morning with. . Clancy's is lucky to have her on their team. On to the breakfast.. The pot roast hash is what I order..EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. The pot roast is cooked to perfection- comes with potatoes, onions. two eggs (I choose over-medium), toast (I recommend the sourdough- which they get fresh from the bakery next door), and then complete this dish with a Guinness gravy. I can promise you that this favorite breakfast of mine is also a generous portion-They really do hook it up and trust me...you will want whatever you don't finish for later. Keep it up, Clancy's!!!My husband and I will continue to advocate your establishment. You're greatly appreciated.

GOLF simulation? Watch sports? And eat good food? Fore we go! A great place to do all three. Food…read moreis good. We got a trio appetizer dish w/ cheese sticks(packed with cheese), fried pickles and buffalo egg rolls(packed with flavor). I know I might get some kick back on this but the smoked wings tossed in maple bourbon sauce....had me feeling like I was at output(haha). The wings were good and fell apart off the bone as we picked them up off the dish. Pulled pork was good. And the steak bowl was packed with steak and flavorful, salsa was definitely on point. I couldn't see going anywhere else in the area for a bowl. Drinks were drinks. We kept it basic as it would for a dive bar vibe. Service was attentive and the servers watched your drinks as they walked by..... if you were quarter a way they'd approach to see if you need another round. TVs everywhere. If you love to golf they have about 7 golf simulator stations kinda tucked away but still in the mix. Golf was $40 an hour at the time of this review. I'd say this is definitely a neighborhood bar with great food. The only real complaint I have is we ordered tequila, soda water and lime. And when I got my bill they charged me for soda water. This was a first. Although not a big deal for me. Still a great time.

The food is delicious! The fajita bowl and the chicken tortilla soup was amazing! The bartender was…read moreso sweet and so funny. Quick service and always cold beer. Will definitely come back!
