    True Score: 3.5 Stars Comfortable Just had a quick drink with friends who go there all the time. So funny, they really do know everybody's names! Clearly a locals place: friendly service, nice atmosphere. The bar area decor is pretty basic/simple. Parking a bit tight and fills up fast. We grabbed a "bah" pie and some beers. Beer was good, prices were nice, and the staff were pleasant. The pizza was decent, just extremely greasy. Good drunk food. Thanks

    Chicken Sandwich (crispy, Buffalo style)
    Mark T.

    When it comes to a neighborhood bar to grab a beer and watch the game, Coop's may work well. It has a divey neighborhood bar vibe and friendly service. However, at least as far as the chicken sandwich is concerned, the food was a terrific miss. I am a food guy - 9/10 times (or more) when I go out I will order something to eat. Therefore, I say if you're going to have food on the menu, do it at least halfway right. I will say the bread was done well, and I wouldn't not be surprised if it's baked in house or purchased fresh from a local baker. Yet, while it can be argued that bread makes up ~50% of the sandwich by volume, this does not count as halfway right. Nice effort, and thanks for the laugh. The problem lies in the chicken. Even though I had ordered it crispy instead of grilled, I think this was interpreted only as fried, not breaded. Not only do I believe it is hard to keep moisture in an unbreaded tender, but these were severely overcooked, dry, and tough. The Buffalo sauce also didn't quite do it for me. While I understand I have high heat tolerance, I also didn't pick up on that whiff of Buffalo when a fresh piece of Buffalo chicken is brought out of the kitchen. Taste-wise it was extremely mild, lacking and acidity; it did however have some sweetness. The execution was also not great. While Dave's can pull off a tender in a sandwich and not have everything fall apart, Coop's is not so fortunate. As there were two tenders (and therefore a valley) inside, it was near impossible to keep the veggies contained. I somewhat understand the thinking behind having them (veggies) be requested as opposed to included by default, at the same time this option seems to have been added as an afterthought. Finally, the fries are A-OK, they seemed fresh, were crisp, and I don't recall specifics on seasoning, I can tell you they were not over-seasoned, nor was I reaching for the salt. So, while if I want to catch a game that isn't available via my antenna, I can see myself here with a beer. Yet, when it comes to food, I think I will be passing.

    Fried Chicken Sandwich

    Ugh not what I remember at all! I came here for the first time in years, expecting the same great food I had before. Maybe my memory is deceiving me but I was unexpectedly disappointed... My husband and I ordered the "drunken meatballs" to start. The sauce on the meatballs was the star of the night. It was a nice mix of sweet & savory with a hint of chili pepper flavor. The meatballs were small and uniform, which makes me think they were frozen and came out of a package. I understand this is not a gourmet Italian restaurant but if I'm paying for a meal, I expect more effort put in. Then I ordered a fried chicken sandwich with honey mustard. The sandwich was 2 chicken tenders thrown in between a bun. Not even a chicken patty. This made it difficult/unpleasant to eat. I gave up after a few bites. The honey mustard was literally honey mixed with French's yellow mustard - omg just no, no, no. I've never experienced anything like this. Just say you don't have it available instead of trying to make a horrible, last minute version. I know times are tough right now for restaurants but this was just an unacceptable meal. Can't say I recommend, unfortunately.

    Came to McGonagles on a Friday evening before we had to attend a wedding. We wanted to grab a bite…read moreto eat and a drink as we weren't sure what the spread was at the wedding. We were advised light snacks so figured we should probably get a base before heading that way. We walked in to the coolest Irish pub that opened up in the back. It was way bigger than I expected. We quickly ordered drinks and I ordered a Moscow mule (my go to). It was in a copper mug and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered a beer, which he enjoyed too. We ordered some oysters and corn ribs for an appetizer. I had never had corn ribs before and was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I split the fish and chips and I'm really glad we did. The fish was extremely large and almost filled the plate. It was crispy and delicious. It was definitely well made. The sauce on the side was even better, too. Highly recommend this place for a quick bite and a pint.

Super relaxed atmosphere and tv's, so it would be a great place to watch a game. Friendly bartender and the fish and chips was good. They also have pizzas that looked great. My friend had a pesto with burrata and she said it was awesome. They also have gluten-free pizza, whihc is good to know. Our table neighbor had the pork chop, which also looked great. They have a small parking lot, which would fill up quickly. We went on a very "off" time, so we were able to park in that lot. Otherwise, you'd need to find street parking.

    Oh yes, let's talk Kilroy's... during my visit home, my bestfriend and I were shopping as I…read moreprepared to fly out the next day and decided to do an airport outfit change. LoL. Understanding that we needed our bestie moment, I hopped on Yelp and searched for a "Good Chicken Sandwich" and at the top of the list was Kilroy's. As we were so close we decided to walk over as I could indulge in what the reviews were calling a "must-try!" Kilroy's sits on the side street, however it is super easy to find. The ambiance of the square as a whole puts you in High spirits as the street is lined with local eateries. Upon walking in, the ambiance is super chill and was perfect for bestie time. The design is simple, yet plays on the deep gray of the inside with colored accent lighting. The floor plan is open and presents the high table setup with the black table tops. As it was just us two, and the smaller tables were taken, we decided to sit at the bar. As soon as we were seated we were greeted by the smiling face of MaryKate. MaryKate welcomed us with excitement and truly set the tone for my Kilroy's experience. I told her that it was my first time and I was excited to experience the "5 Star Dive Bar!" We laughed as sge provided us with menus and proceeded to take our drink orders. As an avid Sweet tea drinker, I was hurt that they didn't offer sweet tea, however, MaryKate took a superior customer service approach and told me she could make sure I got my sweet tea... when she arrived back with my drink, her blend of unsweetened tea and simple syrup was spot on and I was in sweet tea bliss!! Scrolling the menu, the sandwich selection made it hard to choose as everything looked amazing. With a good chicken sandwich on the brain, I decided to order The Salem. The Salem consist of Grilled Chicken, Romain, Tomato, Bacon, American Cheese, and Chipotle Mayo on a golden toasted bun. I have One Word...WHOAAAAAAAAAA!!! The grilled chicken was perfectly seasoned and grilled. The chicken was tender, juicy, and had the perfect amount of char on the outside without having compromised the inside. The bacon was meaty and crispy. The level of crisp on the bacon provided as the perfect texture shift as it was layered between the chicken and freshly cut tomato. The chipotle mayo adds a flavor burst that heightens the sandwich and takes it from good to GOOD! However, even with all of that, we count discount the role of the bun. The golden toasted bun seals the deal as the buttery inside glued together all of the flavor profiles, while the soft outside entices you to bite deeper anticipating every layer of the sandwich from top to bottom. Oh yes, this is a chicken sandwich done right. Paired with well seasoned, golden crisp French fries, The Salem is a stand-alone champion as it makes you forget about the fries. LoL! However, the fries are def a main contender in the fight for taste bud attention. Overall, Kilroy's on the Square is my new go-to anytime I'm at my Bestfriends house. The Salem has the sun for now, however, I have my eye on The Wasp for my next visit. . Great food. Great service. Great prices. Great atmosphere. Great experience. Until my best trip to Boston, I'll dream of you, 'The Salem'.

    Mehh, places like this are a dime-a-dozen; average food, average atmosphere, average everything…read more My husband and I came in for lunch. I ordered "The Salem" (grilled chicken sandwich) and my husband ordered "The Winnie" (Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich).

We both commented on how our sandwiches were good, but nothing special. We were both satisfied with our meals, but not impressed. Overall, it was forgettable food but you'll get a decent enough meal if you're hungry...
