    Chicken tender dinner. $18.99. Additional cost for Buffalo sauce is LAME. Next youll charge for dressing on salad, or ketchup, or mayo?
    King B.

    Visited yesterday and sat at the bar. Bartender was nice but busy and it was hard to ask her for things we needed like silverware or drinks or food. We started with a fried green bean app $12.99 and theyre honestly the best ive had. Paired with a nice ranch and the fried green beans were covered in parmesan cheese. Very good but after seeing everyone else ordering substitute their fries for green beans i kind of wish i knew you could do that. My girl ordered the chicken taco salad $15.99 and the shell it arrives in is fantastic. Flaky and airy snd delicious. The salad looked good and she enjoyed it. I ordered the chicken tender dinner $18.99 buffalo style ($1 extra) and the tenders were great. Always irks me when businesses charge for sauce on the tenders/wings. Just seems incredibly desperate. Why no charge for ketchup? Surprised the dressing on a salad isnt a surcharge too. Just super lame in my opinion when places do this. The blue cheese was great and honestly didnt check to see if i was charged for blue cheese for my tenders but wouldnt be surprised. I wanted actual buffalo wings but 8 wings for $14.99 is too expensive and not worth it. Especially with a fee for buffalo sauce on buffalo wings. I got the buffalo tender dinner for 20$ and it seems like a better value. Overall i came from the positive reviews i read on yelp. The service was ok but everyone was very nice. The food was delicious. And some items on the menu seemed like market rate pricing while other items felt like a rip off. 2 cocktails, 1 beer, 1 soda, green bean app, taco salad, buff tender dinner was $100 which wasnt quite the deal i was expecting after reading the reviews ha. Id return for sure, food was great, but im not rushing to go back. There are other options nearby with imo better value.

    I should preface this by saying I had only been to the old restaurant once before the redesign, and wasn't a huge fan. The restaurant looks a million times better! They took down the glass wall between the bar area, and the general seating, it's more open, and seems brighter and roomier. They replace the booths with high top booths, and the rest of the tables have been replaced as well. They have an extensive beer/wine list. They've also revamped their menu (and good quality). I had the French onion soup, and Reuben. Both we're delicious. The French onion which is normally savory, was slightly sweet, but good. The crock it came in was pretty large, and could have been a meal on it's own had I not split it with my husband. The Reuben was so good. The meat was a little smokey which have it a great flavor. The service was great too! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, as was the hostess and rest of the staff. We'll definitely be coming back!!

    First time here wasn't bad. We had never been to the original establishment, so had nothing to compare to as others have. It had such a bad rep among the locals we never bothered to go in. But heard from some friends how the new restaurant was a massive improvement, so had to give it a try. We were there before 6 on a Saturday evening, and even then the place wasn't as busy as we might have expected. No wait. Most of the tables were full and a good sized crowd at the bar. Some were sitting outside on the patio as the weather was incredibly nice for end of September. Even with an almost full house, the noise level wasn't an issue at all. Got seated immediately and the hostess brought us a bowl of fresh (rather salty - is that their trick to get us to order lot of drinks?) popcorn to munch on while we perused menus. The styrofoam bowl with a tipsy bottom was a bit of a detraction. Quite a varied menu, plus daily specials. Some vegetarian options. Our server was table side within a short span of minutes to take our beverage order and list those specials. After some mulling, DH opted for the soft pretzel appetizer. Somehow he missed the descriptor "soft" and thought it would be more of a crunchy variety. Other than being heavily salted, like the popcorn, he said it was okay. Me, on the other hand, had to follow my tradition of sampling the clam chowder. Phooey. Should have gone with the French onion soup. The chowder was a little bland, on the thin side and precious few clams to be found, but loads of celery, onion and bacon. Was also barely lukewarm. Bummer. For entrées, DH was true to form and had a burger. The Old Yankee burger to be specific, sans the healthy garnishes and garlic mayo. Again he missed a detail in the menu that there are two Angus beef patties, not just one on their burgers. So it ended up being at least a half pound of beef; he was in Cholesterol Heaven. Fries were lightly seasoned. I went for one of the specials, Lobster Mac & Cheese. Toasty hot in a cast iron skillet. Lots of big lobster chunks in this dish, and some intact claw meat hiding underneath the cavatappi (sort of a hybrid penne/rotini). Loving that! However the cheese sauce was quite soupy, requiring use of a spoon. Mac and cheese to me, should be more gooey than watery. Must be one of my many quirks. Menu said special blend of cheeses, and this will sound almost heretical (eek!), but it tasted like melted process cheese. I don't know what blend they use, and should have asked, but it was almost too cheesy, if that makes any sense. But the amount of lobster outweighed all that. And it was a big portion. Took more than half of it home. Oh, there was garlic bread of a sort. No real garlic, just some spread on a soft baguette and grilled. Tasteless, but good for dipping in the cheese sauce. Had the leftovers for lunch today. Sprinkled a little lemon thyme from the garden over it before warming up. Toned down the cheese sauce and was a nice complement to the lobster. This was more of a 3-3.5 star experience based on the food, but the service was awesome so we are going with 4. Our waitress was attentive frequently checking in and constantly refilling DH's diet Pepsi (almost lost a star for not being a Coke establishment;) ) and other staff were quick to take dirty dishes away. One young woman even asked if I got my chowder. Had I really liked it I might have said no, and got another bowl. She admitted she would have brought it. Ha! They do breakfast on the weekends. We will give that a try one day and will give dinner another chance at some point as well.

Right after being ushered to our table with a beautiful outside view, the young waitress started yapping interminably on personal issues with a couple she obviously knew two tables away. We were forgotten. Finally after a good 15 minutes, one of us went to the bar to get menus. The bar waitress came out and bought us menus and gave the young lady a look.... Then the taps were out so in an Irish pub, no slow-poured Guinness. I did get it in the bottle and then had to send the waitress to get a cold glass. Lunch came. Delicious Chicken Moher and my other half a delicious Club Sandwich. Yum The lunch was very good. I would have given five stars. But the initial reception with a lackadaisical waitress tells me that although the pub may be outstanding, they need some better training for their wait staff.

A dear friend just bought a condo near Newfound Lake and needed to attend the HOA meeting, so we decided to join with them afterwards and they searched the food offerings and came up with Kathleen's Irish Pub. Arriving at the place we noticed a sizable parking area although I am sure it's on overflow at St. Patty's Day. For a first timer, the premises used to be a hardware store so there are several doors and although the one that seems to be the main door, is not. The entrance is towards the front and there is a ramp to the main door Entering the Pub, there is an ample bar area and the food area is towards the left, facing Main Street. We were warmly greeted by a wonderful hostess whose demeanor and customer care was the best I've seen in a long time. We began the afternoon festivities with, of course, Guinness, certainly slow poured, which is good for you. My other half had their Harviestoun Old Engine Oil, creamy and tasty. The next course we had was their Giant Pretzel. Really giant. Baby Huey giant. It served as the appetizer for four of us. We got it with both, homemade beer cheese dipping sauce and the Irish Whiskey Dipping sauce. Both sauces are delicious, really so. Then they brought out the main courses; I had their delicious fish and chips. Perhaps one of the best, tastiest, crispy pieces of fish I've ever had. My spouse ordered the Galway Girl, a true half pound prime Black Angus burger topped by Swiss cheese and fried cheddar curds, poblano dressing and chips. The mix of the fried curds and meat and sauce was amazingly tasty. Another friend had the Boxty, basically a potato pancake filled with a delicious chicken stew. The quality of the food was amazing. Really so. But that wasn't enough, we ordered both, their Bread Pudding, and their Sticky Toffee Pudding. The Bread Pudding was amazing, but the Sticky Pudding was unequaled. I am glad we shared the dessert among four people... At the end of the lunch, the owner came in and engaged us in conversation. Affable, full of energy, friendly, and she knows the path of excellence where she's taking the place. We learned a second pub is planned for Franklin. If it is anywhere near the quality of Kathleen's, Franklin will have one superb eatery. Absolutely recommended.
