    My husband and I have stopped in a handful of times this year and have always had a good experience, whether we're just there for drinks or for drinks and food. Service behind the bar is always friendly and prompt. Shots are generous. When you order a pint, it's an Imperial pint, and prices are great at $5 - $6 depending what you get. Their food menu is standard bar favorites with a few Irish staples mixed in. I've enjoyed all the food I've ordered. I feel this is one of those rare places that hasn't completely jacked up prices "due to COVID" which is rare almost three years into this monster. The crowd tends to lean 45+++. I'm always the youngest person there besides the waitress. This isn't a spot to get rowdy. But you will find plenty of TVs, pull tabs, Keno, a TouchTunes jukebox and darts, if any of those tickle your fancy. I am glad I discovered Dunleavy's and look forward to more visits in the future.

    Great food and awesome Irish bar just around the corner from the house. We have been living here for about 6 years now. What's funny is we decided to spend our date nite here. We told the waitress this was our first time. She greeted us with a big smile and warm welcome. All your Irish drinks are here and beers. Try their buffalo wings just remember medium can be just a little hot. They have 15% discount for all first responders and veterans I just felt right at home. Ask for Casandra Dunleavys yes it's still family own she is the best. That is all. Chief If you ever doubt then just trust yourself first.

    I contacted local adult beverage guru, Allison F. to get her advice on a good Irish pub in the area. She recommended one of her nearby watering holes called Dunleavy's. Now, it's not so much a pub as it is more of a friendly neighborhood bar with some Irish trappings. The folks there are warm and welcoming in any case, so it fit the bill just fine. The afternoon bartender lady was super friendly. She offered me a food menu and it seemed to have a good variety of bar type foods at reasonable prices. I wasn't really hungry so I passed on the eats but I did go for a couple Irish brews. I enjoyed one each, Smithwick's and Guiness. Both were smaller sized pours but they were reasonably priced at $5 each. Two beers, ten dollars? Sounds good to me. If I lived in the area, I'd go there from time to time. 5 Stars

    Been coming here for years for beers. Thought I'd stop in for lunch on a Saturday for a 1/2 pound ground round, ordered medium well. It took longer than expected even though they weren't busy. Came pretty pink in the middle for medium well, arguably the 1/3 patty and not the 1/2, and wasn't warm enough to melt the cheese. I'll be back for the beer, but won't be eating there again soon.

    Ruben sandwich and chips

    Came here for a cold beer and burger after work and at 25% capacity you wouldn't think it would take over an hour for a burger and a Ruben sandwich. By the time my food got to me (which I asked about at least 3 times) it was cold, dry and super salty. Beer was cold and good but my beer has been empty since after my first 25 minutes here. Been here 2 hours now and still no fresh beer. Server was nice but not very tentative. Bottom line, I'm gonna end up getting this burger to go and giving it to my dog or something. Very disappointed which sucks because the person we came here with loves this place and swore it was amazing. My first impression was definitely under par and sad to say I won't be back.

    Awesome 1/2 lb burgers. Nice selection of beers, genuine Irish atmosphere. Great, friendly service. My kind of place.

    Fish fry menu...

    Great Burgers and great fish and chips... $8.75 for a hearty platter of fish and chips. Hand trimmed and dipped in beer batter Try the perch "dry" instead of bear batter... More of a thin cornmeal coating than a heavy beer batter which is always too heavy for a delicate fish like perch... One of the best bar burgers around and plenty of choices to pick from The Dunleavys have been in the bar business forever and understand what an Irish pub should be like.. Lots of regulars but all are welcome! It's Family owned for a long time so prices are cheap as they probably have no mortgage or rent like most bars do...

This is a German restaurant in name only. Service was sub-par. My party sat for 10-15 minutes before water was offered. Ordered appetizers and our dinners.

Waitress never checked back if everything was ok or if we wanted another round of drinks. I generously give two stars because the Weihenstephaner Dunkel on draft is a rare find and the German egg rolls are outstanding. Other than that, our visit was sehr enttäuschend (disappointing)

The schnitzel was good, but not big enough to share. The paprikash bowl was also tasty. The German potato salad was a real standout, give it a try. Prices were reasonable.

Unfortunately, it's a bar on the side that we sat on so it definitely had customers that we're using very inappropriate language even though they saw our kid was there.

I'll give this place three out of five because they did have options, but unfortunately, the portion size just did not make sense for the price point. Our daughter got the Natchos which were a play on nachos which you could tell was warmed up probably in the microwave and did not taste that great. And was the most expensive item at $20 for basically french fries with a few pieces of the plant-based chicken. We were grateful they had the options. It's just unfortunately the vegan options. We're not very filling at all again based on the price point they were asking for. Definitely don't suggest this place for a family again because patrons and many of the staff were using really inappropriate language but the inside at a very artistic look to it so that was a plus.

For example, I get the "Hearty" breakfast most of the time and it comes with eggs, meat, pancakes, potatoes and toast, and it really highlights what is this place's strength. Eggs: I get mine scrambled and have a nice selection of hot sauce to choose from. Meat: I appreciate that they offer turkey sausage since I don't eat beef or pork, but my wife loves their bacon if that's your thing. Pancakes: quality varies the most here as they are sometimes a little pale (but still good) but more often the idyllic golden one expects when ordering. Potatoes: lots of variety here, too, as my home fries come in different sized cuts with seasoning ranging from none to "no need for salt or pepper?" Toast: Again, wide variety of choices, I go with sourdough most often If this sounds like a lot of food, there are lots of other options that make it appealing to smaller appetites. But what I like about the "Hearty" is all the choices and the variation in style (probably depends on who's staffing the griddle) allows me to order the same meal and still feel like I'm getting some variety. Having said that, keep an eye out for the specials. They sometimes are tempting enough to get me to stray from usual. In addition to good food, the service is always friendly, and we've been back enough times to where I think every server recognizes us. Like I said, it's a favorite.

I was going to have a second beer and by the time waitress came to apologize about long delay and frustration with bar service, I told her to cancel it. Second, the waitress had to be reminded to bring drink refills after we asked for them. She apologized and got them right away. But, it added to our frustration of delays.
