So on our first trip to Brookings for an anniversary getaway, we had to try this pub, and we were not disappointed! With a Harp and Guinness in hand, we sat back to enjoy the beautiful decor with a holiday glow and the celebratory energy to the place. My Fat Fillie (with mushroom add on) was stuffed full and delicious, and my hubby's pork sandwich (I missed the name) was spicy with a citrus jalapeño sauce. Best of all was our speedy, friendly server! read more

Great food, friendly staff. I live in Brookings and this is one of my regular spots. The Rueben & feta bruschetta are my favorites, but just about everything is good. read more

This place won an award for their clam chowder... and rightfully so! It was amazing! The staff is also so helpful and kind. I got the chocolate cheesecake to go and it was incredible. This place is fun and has great food. I recommend the clam chowder and fish and chips. Both are amazing options. It gets busy here, but that's not surprising. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit! read more

We were seated right away, drink orders were taken shortly there after, received our drinks then our order was taken. The place was packed. My wife ordered corned beef tacos, they were delicious. My grandson and I ordered fish and chips. The flavor was very good, but they were dripping with grease which made them unpleasant to eat. Have been there many times, but first and last for the fish and chips. We were very disappointed. read more

Ok, so first I'll say this. Good review or bad reviews you've got to just always try a place out for yourself. I've found that in ask the times eating out that some of the places that had a few bad reviews end up being the place that are awesome and then some of the places that have good reviews ended up being places that I wouldn't visit for a second chance. A review is one's stand point and not a reflection on the business unless it's the same review one after another. So, getting to my review on fat Irish restaurant. I visited this place for the first time during COVID isolation. From the start the When I called in to give my order the staff was super friendly and seemed down to earth. I couldn't decide on what to get so I got a handful of things to try. The food was ready in about 15-20 minutes and when I arrived at the restaurant the staff was super friendly and welcoming to come in. So a quick thanks to all the staff during the times we are going through. You girls and guys are great. You'll see from the pics I took that the To-go presentation was good. They even did something that I've never seen done but have always thought of when getting food To-go. They put all there fixing for certain items on the side so that the eater would have to put themselves for freshness and when ready to eat. There was one review I read that was talking about how skimpy the fish abs chips basket was. Let me tell you this... all the items I received were anything but skimpy and short of enough. You'll see from the pics. read more

I do like this place. The atmosphere isn't all that "Irish" if you've actually been to the UK, but that's fine. It's extremely loud, though. They have an inside area, a bar area, and an outside deck area. As a hard of hearing lip-reader, I let the waitress know, asking for pen and paper (she would not touch mine because it might have the virus, which I'm finding is very common). She kept trying to talk to me through her mask even though I was telling her that I could not understand her and needed to read lips. She was extremely irritated with me. She came back and forth a couple times and kept doing that, as if my hearing would suddenly appear. I was being very patient and kind, since this is something I've been dealing with daily since masks started being required. However, I finally became frustrated also, and quite angry, starting to get up and leave, when she walked to the register and ripped off a tiny piece of paper to write on. Then she became very nice after that. Later she came back with actual paper and I suspect someone saw all of this unfold and said something to her. I had the bangers and mash, which were delish (again not the UK, but very good). Next time, I would sit outside on the deck, where it is not very loud. Now, you probably just read that I'm hard of hearing, so there's a thought about the volume. I suppose I've written more about the employee than the place itself, but it needs to be said. Would I go back? For that dish that I crave, yes I would. But I would definitely make sure to sit outside. (they do allow dogs out there if that is an issue for you) read more

Fabulous place to eat! Food was excellent, drinks were good and the staff was so nice that it made the place even better. Savage fries are potato wedges covered in corned beef and an amazing homemade sauce and cheese. Clam chowder was made a little different but probably the best around. First time here but wont be the last! Go check it out! read more

Fat Irish Kitchen & Pub - Bloody Mary - Fish & Chips Near Me - Harbor, Oregon

Great fish and chips, clam chowder, taco tues, beer, and service. Outdoor patio allows well-behaved pups. Always busy, don't be in a 'hurry'. read more

Fish and chips were inexplicably spicy. The fish itself was good but the breading was gummy. The fries were less "chips" than steak fries. Tacos were good but the corn tortillas were a bit dry. Could have used some sauce. read more

We had Breakfast. Perfect eggs, delicious bacon, yummy biscuit, yummy jam. Potatoes, I cant describe, because they were different, but awsome, red with spices. The bloody mary was full of goodies and perfect. Our darling, efficient, server twisted our arm and we tried the breakfast shots. WOW! yummy I wont tell you what it is because thats part of the supprise. Prices are par for the area. read more

Food was decent. The potatoes were a little over cooked. The clam chowder was good. Fun drinks and nice atmosphere. Inside was super loud, but we sat outside. read more

Fat Irish Kitchen & Pub - Irish coffee and Emerald Mimosa - Fish & Chips Near Me - Harbor, Oregon

If you're looking for a little bar with good beers and eats this is a great place. We didn't have much luck with other places in town, but this place was pretty yummy. We had the cheese curds- mixed which were pretty amazing, the clam chowder was good, and the staff was so nice. We had a quick little date night at the bar and was pretty good. It had a lot of home town/local feel to it and was really nice to experience. read more

Stopped here because it was recommended by the receptionist at Best Western. Definitely more of a pub than a restaurant, we didn't order drinks and service noticeably declined after they realized we were just there for food. But we had awesome Reuben sandwiches, bread perfectly toasted and the right ratio of cheese to meat so that it wasn't dripping. Fries were hot and fresh. Fish and chips were piping hot too, very thick battering and on the greasy end of the "fish and chips" spectrum of coating. read more

Awesome food, great service and wonderful cocktails!!! Highly recommended restaurant while you're in town!!!

Food and service are wonderful! Their weekend "meal in a Bloody Mary" are presented beautifully & truly a meal in a glass. Always a pleasurable experience! read more

The waitress was really nice. The calamari was very tough and not very good. My wife shepherds pie was very bland. She said it was the worst cheesecake she's ever had. The best part was the Irish coffee. read more

Really fun vibe here! Cool patio with fireplace. We were sat inside. Kids welcome. Reuben was amazing!! Cottage pie was really good but the bowl will not fill you up. Fun place, we'll be back! read more

The food is so good and delicious and the service is incredible the best service i ever had

What a great place for food and fun! We enjoyed the generous cocktails and Bangers and mash. Loud inside, lots of happy patrons. Our server did a great job balancing the orders and refreshments. read more

When me and my family were in there eating dinner the food was amazing but the service was even better! The host that sat us, I believe his name was Leeland, he's attitude was super professional. Our waiter was Peter and he is amazing, fast drinks and food came out quickly. We will be definitely coming back for sure! read more

After looking around Brookings for somewhere new to eat we found Fat Irish. I had a perfect Bloody Mary with the best Rueben Sandwich I've ever eaten. No joke. They cook their corned beef in house. Out is this world. I hear all the dishes with it are worth ordering. I live two hours from Brookings, and I visit frequently. I will hit this place up. Every. Single. Time. read more

Fat Irish Kitchen & Pub in Brookings, Oregon has great atmosphere and service, the outdoor dinning was busy but not crowded and the service was exceptional. While it's no longer owned by an Irishman the food is outstanding and the selection is beyond "bar food" and very tasty. You can't go wrong with the Fish & Chips and Cottage Pie, both were delicious, the staff are engaging and it's a great place to eat. read more

8/2018 Fat Irish had great service and great food. I was craving fish and chips and clam chowder and was able to satisfy both cravings in one visit. The server was friendly and attentive. That short sentence really doesn't do him justice though Their chowder was offered in a cup or a bread bowl and was very hardy. I can't say enough about their fish and chips. Three large pieces of fish with just enough batter to keep them from falling apart as you ate them. Potato wedges were seasoned to perfection and everything was served piping hot. Looking forward to my next visit to the area to satisfy my fish & chip cravings. 10/2019 One year later, Fat Irish still doesn't disappoint. Their shepherds pie was the best I've ever had and was the perfect compliment to the cool weather and light drizzle outside. We also had their salmon. It was a large portion which had a nice lemon pepper flavor and perfect texture. Not too moist, and not too dry. Fat Irish is a must try destination. read more

Wow, worst service ever! Complained to bartender/manager about drinks served and came at us with a very angry demeanor, refusing to correct the problem. Tried to cancel our food order which he refused to do, over charging us for things we didn't order. With so many alternate great restaurants nearby I would highly recommend not visiting this establishment. Will NEVER return!! read more

It was extremely busy the night our group of 5 got there. We waited about 30 minutes, we had requested an inside table as we are of the older generation. When they called us it was for an outside table. We decided to wait inside since it was cold. We waited another 20 minutes and they called a party of 5 who came in well after us. When we pointed it out the hostess said we were rude then she looked and saw our name had been crossed off and seated us. The food was disappointing. The claim chowder was cool and too thick with not many clams. The fried fish was heavily battered and the batter was still soft. We did like our male waiter. He was nice and attentive. read more

Absolutely the best! This place for sure is not for dieters. So go me I had to really take a look at options. They seriously cater to all. I asked for the Rueben but subbed Turkey instead of corned beef since I don't eat beef and it was not a problem. They have wonderful fresh salads and many options. I love this place and can't wait to come back soon. thank you! read more

Our family was all happy with our experience at Fat Irish. We were seated quickly for lunch and the food was ready fast. I liked that there were many different options. We had biscuits and gravy, French toast brunch, clam chowder, a burger and fries, and a turkey bacon sandwich. We all ate our entire meal and enjoyed them. The biscuits and gravy were just okay and the clam chowder was pretty good, but not the best I've had. Our water was even good, not the treated tap water. Our waitress was great also. The environment is a bit loud, but perfect for our louder teen boys. An absolute recommended restaurant. read more

Incredibly bad service. The cheese curds were legit but the service was slow and terrible.

We come here most times when visiting the area and the food and drinks are always top notch. This time I had the Irish stew which was fantastic. read more

We were only in town for a week, but enjoyed our visit so much that we back before we left town. The staff was so friendly and personable! Service makes this place! The food was good. They offer a very nice fish and chips, one of the best ever, according to my guy. I tried the Irish Stew on the first visit and Salmon Plate on the second visit. Both good, not spectacular but satisfying like comfort food. Good portions. It's very casual atmosphere. You can come and watch the game with the bartenders. The bar has three sides with stools which facilitates conversation among those at the bar and the bartenders. There are tables hugging the perimeter as well as outside with the fire pit. Very cozy place. We were in town last year as well and were happy to find this place. It's bookmarked in our favorites for next time! read more

My family has been vacationing in Brookings, Oregon for decades! Three family members tried this place five years ago and didn't have a good experience. I decided to give it another whirl with two other family members and was 4-star impressed! My Aunt & her husband both ordered the fish & chips dinner and can not stop raving about their food. High, high marks for the flavor, amount of food. Special comments about the lack of greasiness and flavors!! Especially the tartar sauce. I had a bite of their food and agree on all counts I ordered the fish tacos because the waitress said they were her favorite. I was a little leery about ordering fish tacos at an Irish pub but a local at the table next to us confirmed it was her favorite fish and chips place in Brookings so I took a chance that the same cod would fill my tacos! The flavors were good, the coleslaw & pico de gallo that accompanied the tacos were plentiful for a full taco! And one them was accurately listed as having jalapeño; big pieces and my lips were numb. Lol The reason I rated the experience four stars was because there wasn't enough fish in my fish tacos. Each of three had some fish - all with excellent flavor, but needed more. The Fish & chips dinner were def the winners tonight! read more

I love that they have Harp beer on tap! The food is good and enjoyed by both locals and visitors. The staff is hospitable and if you're a repeat customer they recognize your face. I'm a fan. read more

Family friendly Irish pub with full bar and a large menu. Decent food, casual atmosphere, and friendly down to earth service.

Very expensive and slow service compared to other local establishments. Left hungry and disappointed once again. Try Billy's restaurant by the marina! Much better and you won't go away hungry! read more

We were seated, then ignored. Went to the bar, ordered two beers and menus. The beers were delivered promptly. We had not had a chance to look at the menu yet, so we asked the server to come back in a few minutes. We finished our beers without so much as a glance from any of the staff. The place was nearly empty. Not sure what we did to offend them. Reading through the reviews, ignoring customers seems to be a consistent behavior with this place. read more
