    The food was delicious. Such a hearty burger and the thin crispy crust of the pizza is right up my alley. We sat at the bar in the corner and the staff made sure we were taken care of. Super friendly snd helpful and recommending beer! A great pub feel and welcoming place. We will certainly be back.

    This is your Beer and Wing stop. Everything else was meh. Burger seemed like a hotel room burger and the shepherds pie was such a disappointment. It tasted like freezer food. Unfortunately our waitress was less than pleasant. The decorations and vibe are great. I would come again for beer and appetizers but I would probably stay away from the entrees.

    Ambiance of the place is cozy and a little dark. Service was excellent. They greet you as soon as you enter. The food came after 40mon we were a party of 6. The food was good. Nice presentation on all the food. Temperature of the food was warm close to hot. Everything came out good. Parking is right in front of the location.

    We came back because we loved it so much last time. Again very good with kids. They loved the free mints and gum at the entrance and playing tick tac toe and coloring while waiting. Kids menu was reasonable and grilled cheese was a hit with 2 of them. The other had spaghetti and I thought it was mid (expected at an Irish pub) but he enjoyed. I had the steak sandwich and it was on delicious garlic bread. The fries were also amazing. The kids enjoyed hot chocolate but were disappointed that they got it in a paper cup and didn't have the fresh whipped cream from the last time so have to deduct a star for that. Overall it was a great experience and we will return when we're in the area

    Outlaw Saloon - Crisped up pork riblets - Nashville hot sauce not that hot

    Chestnut Ridge, NY - wild west, rawhide, quickdraws, hell's belles, Hell's Angels, bad hombres,…read morecountry hoedown, southwest Americana, and a fistful of dollars. That, pardner, is your friendly neighborhood Outlaw Saloon, so c'mon down! Wowza this saloon was super hoppin' on a Thursday night! Plenty of parking in front and back but the lots were almost full. I haven't been to this location since its past life as a BBQ place, but have been keen to visit Outlaw Saloon since they opened last year. The atmosphere is tight! Now the decor would be nuthin if the food were lousy, but here they do all right too! More than all right. I tucked into the rodeo burger, thick and juicy, well-seasoned and satisfying, with a side of excellent fries. The same could be said for the pork cowboy, a grilled pork chop with a crispy, slightly charred crust, topped with a melting pat of herb-seasoned butter. I wasn't crazy about the pork riblets which were kind of tough and chewy, and not at all spicy for Nashville hot. Next time I will opt for the wings. We happened upon an open mic night, and it must've also been a bike night as a bunch of bikers were gathered on the outside patio (didn't expect to see that in Chestnut Ridge, honestly). The atmosphere was very lively, and we enjoyed the amped up acoustic sets. Needless to say, it was a busy night, but service was not lacking. Our waitress Melinda was super sweet, and I think the owner(?) also came out to check on things. 4.5 stars but rounding up to 5 for aesthetics, ambiance, and cool folks. This is a fun place to hang. Next time, I wanna dress thematically. Yeehaw!

    Outlaw Saloon is in the space at one time occupied by Southbound BBQ and keeps up the excellent…read morereputation. The restaurant maintained the mostly high seats, which can be a problem for those that are vertically challenged, and the one negative is the music is loud, though the live music was excellent last Saturday (sorry, but I don't remember his name). But most of us go to a restaurant for the food, and Outlaw did not disappoint. We ordered the buffalo wings, which were excellent. They were crispy, and a good size. I like them very spicy, and they were a bit short there, but they were hot enough for most people, including my better half. We both ordered the rodeo burgers medium rare. These are a hefty half pound. They were charred on the outside, which is wonderful though the burger was closer to medium than medium rare. They have a huge selection of draft beer, whiskey and bourbon. I was very excited to see Defiant, which ordered. I am very close to giving this a five star review, but the loud music and slightly too done burger forced me to downgrade it slightly. That said, we will be back!
