This place looks like it be a cool place to hang out and I was excited to visit for the first time. I left disappointed. The food is mostly bar type food and sort of expensive. I got a burger and a beer. It was nothing special. I was really hungry and it filled the void, but thats it. read more

There is nothing spectacular or exciting about Halligans and maybe that's kind of the reason why it is actually successful. It's down to earth and reliable once you know what to expect. For fabulous beers go elsewhere. For awesome gastro-pub food - sorry you gotta hit another spot. Even for great service if you're not a regular - it's not guaranteed. But Halligans is Halligans and you know on Tuesdays you can a two-dollar lager with a bowl of their house-made chili which actually has a little kick to it and lots of flavor. And I do like their Chicken Cobb salad. They for sure don't skimp on the chicken and the boatload of other ingredients in the salad and give you enough dressing to really turn this into a meal. The service recently was only so-so to be sure (I never did get a glass of water despite asking twice) but we were there to discuss the Eagles Super Bowl win so we were all in a good mood! read more

On a Tuesday, go to Halligan's. Burgers are half-price on Tuesdays. Order a burger. Order a basket of seasoned curly fries to share with friends. Enjoy. Repeat. read more

I ordered a cheeseburger well, when it finally came out it was cut in the middle it looked good but when I picked it up the burger Fell out of the roll . I mentioned it to the server. She said sorry but I wasn't offered club soda to clean up the top I had on . The cook should have used a thermometer instead of digging out the middle of the burger. Not sure if I will go back read more

1st time visit to this place We were greeted and promptly seated by very pleasant staff. Chose to sit in the outside area on a beautiful early evening. We started with a few draft beers Ordered buffalo wings, (above average) Had meatloaf with mashed and salad. Pretty good meatloaf, not too much cut, but a little too much of a smoky flavor from all the bacon (I know is there such a thing as TOO much bacon?) Answer... yes :-) Salad was pretty good (descent Caesars dressing) mashed may have been a mix of powdered and real, but predominantly powdered tasting... still not bad per se I had a cheddar burger. Pretty good actually. Done just as I asked for it One thing I would mention is that if you sit outside, be prepared for a parade of smokers to share their smoke with you as you are eating...with zero regard. I totally felt like I was in their ashtray. Personally, I believe that smokers should definitely have a space for them to partake, however, I will never sit in the back again. May visit again... nice folks... pretty good pubish food. Plenty of similar options. I would add, Personally I prefer Magerks read more

Good neighborhood bar, food is good and they have a surprisingly good beer selection. Always a consistent place to stop by with friends!

very good. I had the shrimp in a basket. My daughter had the crab cake sliders. We were very impressed. not over priced. the waitress was right on top of us. Place appeared clean and friendly. I would recommend. A better choice than some franchise like Fridays. read more

After hearing from the kids that they are not a fan of Halligan's, I had to drag the oldest daughter over there for a repeat visit (and to view new menu). The restaurant is the same, open tables in the front room but a bit more private in the porch room. New menu is a bit (a lot) smaller, but still has good signature dishes on it. When in doubt, go for the shepherd's pie. The daughter went for the crab cake (another fantastic holdover) and I went for the Chicken Monterey special. Absolutely wonderful food, and with cocktails the bill before tip was in the mid $30.00 range. Service was a bit spotty, but it was a Monday night. Great place for a family dinner. read more

Halligan's Pub - Crabcake delight! - American Near Me - Flourtown, Pennsylvania

Awful, wings were raw in middle. Only went in because Scoogies & Magurks were both packed. Next time that happens ill go eat McDonalds rather than going back to that bar. Since, I've heard from numerous people Of similar incidents of bad food & description of old Drunks at bar loud and obnoxious. Which I and Wife and kids also witnessed an old ass singing About nipples & guessing woman's nipple sizes Sitting at bar, we had to listen sitting at table Dining area. Never again ! read more

We went here for dinner while I was working in the area. We didn't have to wait to be seated and sat out on the patio. Either we weren't given a drink menu or there isn't one, but I decided to save my money rather than inquire about it haha. We had the irish fries to start, which tasted like the typical loaded fries you would get at a pub, about average. For dinner, I had the roast beef sandwich which was great and the perfect sized portion. The service was so so. Everything came out in a reasonable amount of time, but the waitress basically ignored us after we were given our food and didn't check up or anything. Prices were very reasonable. This seems like a very local place where everyone knows eachother. Food was above average pub fare. I would probably come here again. read more

I came here with my uncle to grab a bite to eat and I wanted to get a burger because, hell, I haven't had a good burger since California and after 6 months of no good burgers, I was going a little crazy. Got there right after noon and was seated immediately. They seemed to have a few regulars in there but this place looked like it'd get pretty busy for dinner or if there's a big game on the tube. Looked and felt like a typical pub that's on the cleaner and neater side. I ordered the cheeseburger with bacon and it was decent. Nothing to rave about. I had a few beers too and it was on the average side. Nothing blew me away but nothing was bad enough to say that I won't be back. I might go back if I was in the area and was hungry and didn't want to drive any further. Service was decent. All-in-all, solid 3/5. Btw, I'm still crazy. Parking: Lot Price: $10+ per person Wait: 5-10 mins after ordering read more

I used to come here but never again. For starters my silverware was dirty. I told the waitress when my food arrived but she managed to forget to return with clean silverware. I had to take it off the next table. I was with my mother who has a walker and could not make it up the stairs to go to the ladies' room. We were allowed to use the restroom behind the kitchen which is handicap accessible. It was horrendous. While I was waiting outside the door for my mother I looked into the kitchen which was also very dirty. Then I looked up their health department reviews and was not surprised to see that they have numerous infractions. I am no neat freak but cleanliness in a restaurant should be a given. read more

This is a late review, I'm writing about St. Patrick's Day. We aren't interested in going out to the bars and such like we used to on St. Patrick's Day so we planned to go early enough to just get some decent food and enjoy the atmosphere. This is the furthest thing from an Irish pub I have ever been to, the food was bland and about par with an average diner, I was hoping for a traditional Irish breakfast but they didn't have the available They picked a fun Irish music station on Pandora(with the commercials) but I would think being an Irish pub they wouldn't need to go to such resources. I'll give it another try when I'm planning on just going out and screwing around but there are much better pubs in the area and in Philly then this. read more

Every time we are in Flourtown, we like to go to Halligans. The staff is always friendly; The service quick; and the food is very good. Recently I stopped in for takeout. My order was ready in less time than expected and the food was hot and delicious when I got home. The place feels like home. read more

Ordered the Mother's Day meal and I have too say it was fantastic. From the folks on the phone while placing my order to the delivery person everything went smoothly. The food was fantastic and the side dishes complimented the entree. read more

I had to write this review quickly on principle alone. I have lived in the general area for my entire life. I have eaten at Halligan's 50 times at least. Why? Necessity and lack of options. There is no other reason. The atmosphere is horrendous. The food is mediocre to not good at all, save for the chicken salad, which oddly enough is not bad. The servers are all very nice. Trivia is fun. Since MaGerk's opened we haven't and will not be back. read more

Went here with my husband for dinner last week. I heard the cheese steaks were good, and it's nearby, and we love cheese steaks, so we went for it. Completely over priced, food quality was terrible, service was rude. The cheese steak was essentially frozen "Steak-Ums" served on a stale roll. All grease and no finesse. The service was really slow. This place has a nice location but is in serious need of renovations, and a new perspective. A couple sitting near us had some pretty interesting things to say about the owner, which was entertaining. Oh, and we spotted a mouse or something running along the far wall near where we were seated. Nice touch. read more

Hosted my father's funeral luncheon here and left with a horrible taste in my mouth. Had made the reservation for 60 people and made our budget clear. Got the bill at the end of the night and got charged for 85 people. They said they counted how many people came in and ate, and charged us for that. I reiterated the fact that I had only ordered food for 60 people and they never cleared the additional food with myself or any other member of the party. When I raised the issue they basically said tough luck we charged for who we counted. Completely unprofessional and disgraceful on an already horrible day. From the business we brought to the bar alone on a Saturday afternoon in February you would think they would have sucked up their mistake of not clearing the additional food orders. Please do not support this business as their lack of etiquette was disgusting. read more

Gotta say that aside from six packs to go and a good hh special -Halligan's doesn't really do it for me. It does seem to do it for AARP - they must send out coupons by the dozen for this place. Average age is at least 72... Food is mediocre at best - used to go for lunch fairly often but haven't for years now... just wasn't worth the trip. Have had burgers, clubs, soup, cheesesteaks, tuna sandwiches... Stick to some beers and eavesdropping at the counter. ~~ I just added the third star for the trivia game... forgot about that. read more

When I was a student at Chestnut Hill College this was *the* pub for all my friends to hang out. I think that's partially why I'm giving it five stars, all the odd and good memories. We always got good food at a great price with excellent service. When I was there with friends we sat in the bar area and had a great time playing their trivia games and were regularly there to hear great live performances. I haven't stopped into Halligan's as much since graduating college five years ago, but since then I've taken my parents from Jersey there and out of town friends there and we've gotten good meals and good service in the non-bar area. I always loved their cheesesteaks and they have the *best* jalapeno poppers. It's still a nicer place to get a good meal than any of those crappy chains like Applebee's or Chili's. read more

A true highlight of my trip while staying in Fort Washington for a night. This place was a total local hangout - it was amazing to see how everyone knew each other and were talking about the rest of the town -- some juicy gossip too! I had never experienced anything like this, not even while living in the smallest town in parts of the US. The people were super friendly and would actually engage in a discussion with outsiders, the fascination of new comers into this "forbidden city" I guess. If you're ever stuck at the hotel and looking for a quick bite, hit this spot. I had a open faced buffalo wing sandwich, customized order and it turned out great. They have a very nice beer collection too. read more

This is one of my go to's. We have lived here for 5 years and love going for dinner and breakfast! Good pup food and great company!!

Great friendly Irish pub..good food great prices and very family friendly. Tuesday night build your burger night..out of this world good.

Food is barely above cafeteria quality food. Can do without the passive-aggressive bartender, too. Won't be back.

Love halligans . So many great new menu options and great seasonal menus. Love sitting on the porch on a nice day. Cobb salad is always good

We stopped in here on a whim this past Saturday. It was that weird time in between breakfast and lunch where not many places are open, so we were actually going to stop in the Wawa next door to grab a snack, but saw Halligan's was open. Everyone was very nice, the hostess, our server, the bartender, etc. We were greeted and served right away. It was a little before noon so we were offered breakfast and lunch menus, as well as some blackboard specials. If there is a soft pretzel item on any menu, I am getting it! We ordered the soft pretzel bites as an appetizer, they came out as four long braids of soft pretzels with two dipping sauces, a grainy honey mustard and a chipotle cheese. Fantastic!! Hubs ordered the roast pork sandwich (minus the roasted peppers) with fries and I ordered the "Gobbler" with sweet potato fries. Loved it all! Hubs said it was the best roast pork sandwich he has ever had, tender, juicy and served with a side of real au jus. My gobbler was fresh roasted turkey, cranberry sauce and stuffing on a bun. I took the top of the bun off and ate it with a knife and fork and it was really good! Only thing missing was some gravy, I think they may have forget to give me some, but it was still great, I was dunking it in the leftover pretzel sauces. By this time I was getting really full and the sweet potato fries suffered, but I did eat a few and they were also good. Served with a creamy horseradish sauce, which I would have never thought to do, but it worked. I definitely want to come back and try some other items and hubs wants to try some of the beers on tap. Very reasonable too, all that food and two cups of coffee for about $35. We will be returning soon! read more

For basic pub-ish food this is a nice little spot. I was in the area with my friends and we decided to stop here for a late lunch. We got the cheesy crab dip which I have never had before, and it was pretty good. While there was a little more glue like cheese preventing from efficient scooping, it made for a salty crabby mix delight. I ordered a basic burger and tried what was so popular in the East Coast: chips with Old Bay. For myself, the Old Bay seems super salty but a good condiment to add to chips for a cheat meal. The burger itself was good, I ordered medium rare and it came as ordered which was good and while I did not eat the bun entirely, it was a filling meal. My friend got the mini crab cakes which she enjoyed and size wise was enough for a meal itself for one person too. This place has daily specials besides happy hour which I found fun and the atmosphere itself was not too loud but then again we were there for a late lunch during an in-between time... read more

This place is next to our local Wawa, and after years of ignoring it we decided to stop here for a quick bite. The menu looked promising and well put together. But the food was absolutely mediocre, and we ordered fairly plain dishes. I'm not a picky eater, and I was hungry enough to eat a full meal, but I ended up picking at my salad (which was fresh-looking but flavorless) and didn't finish my French onion soup...which has never happened before, in the history of my restaurant-hopping. Cheese on top was burnt, tasteless, and rubbery, the soup itself had a strange non-food-like taste. There was something synthetic about all the food--I can only imagine that maybe midwinter food supplies for this restaurant are grown in conditions that aren't conducive to flavor. My companion had the same impression about her meal (salad, potato skins, cheesesteak). The potato skins were better, edible but nothing great. According to other reviews this is a great hangout spot, so it may be good for get-togethers where there's less focus on getting a tasty meal. We went here to avoid going, again, to Scoogi's (the somewhat boring Italian restaurant sort of across the street), but we ended up wishing we'd gone there, if only because the food is much better. read more

Wow, went in & got seated. But no one came back our table for about 25 minutes. We ended up getting up to leave! Will never go here again! Never ever had an experience like this before! read more

I love this place! Very reasonable pricing for very good food. Staff is always very friendly and catering to any specific request about the food. Food also comes out in a timely manner. read more

Struggling to find a local spot that carries the Sunday NFL Ticket, I was referred to Halligan's. If I'm going out alone drinking and yelling at 1pm on Sunday, this is where I want to be from now on. Great staff and clientele, pretty much a bunch of local dudes out watching some football and talking sports. The bartender is happy to put the Patriots game on a TV for me even though I'm the only one in there to watch it. I haven't sampled enough of their menu to comment on their grub but they have a well-rounded beer selection. read more

If you're not a regular, don't bother. You're invisible. They may eventually hand you a menu, but don't expect the cooks to know how to make your order read more

I was impressed with my food. You guys listened to my instructions on not frying the chicken hard. Waffle fries were great. I ordered via UberEATS. I definitely intend on giving it another go. read more

Ate at Halligans after Church on Palm Sunday. We had a reservation for noon but arrived early. Two of us ordered omelets and ;three ordered sandwiches. Omelets were served at 11:59 am. and the sandwiches came out 25 minutes later. According to our waitress, who was great, all breakfast meals must be served by noon - not ordered but served - and they couldn't get the sandwiches done by then. My Mother and I finished eating before the others were served. I have never had this happen before nor can I believe that any restaurant would serve its patrons in this manner. The food itself was fair. It was a surprise as we have been there in the past and been very pleased with the food and service although we had never ordered breakfast foods prior to this. Will not be returning! read more

I always liked Halligan's, but now that I moved into the neighborhood I really like it! Moving is such a drag, and we were exhausted--but it was 11pm. Anyone in this area knows you can't get food at 11pm, except Wawa or 7-11, right? WRONG!!! Halligan's serves 'til 12 on SUNDAY NIGHT! 1 AM weekends. We were so happy. We had salads and Burgers and it waqs all good. It's not gastropub gourmet food, it is what it is. But for a nice, inexpensive, late-night meal, it was perfect. Nice crowd there too. I am excited to be closer to Halligan's! Try getting food in Chestnut Hill at 11PM on a Sunday.....Go Flourtown! read more

Halligan's is a great little local pub in Flourtown and is one of me and my wife's go to restaurant choices when we don't feel like cooking at home. The food at Halligans is all good, although I haven't had anything really outstanding. I always have a good time and leave satisfied, and really isn't that what you're looking for in a local pub. My wife and I will continue to be regulars for as long as we're in area. read more

I think we made a mistake coming here and ordering entrees. The food was sub par at best. Would have apparently been better ordering bar food and sandwiches. The decor is awful. The service was slow but nice. We will give it another try since it is walking distance from home. read more

I stop in here on occasion to eat wings on wednesday and to hang out with friends on other days. The other day I went and had my favorite soup, french onion soup which was as good as usual. I also had a bufflo chicken cheesesteak and found myself pleasantly surprised. The Chicken looked like it was shredded and tasted like it was smoked. The buffalo sauce wasn't too spicy and with some blue cheese it was very tasty. I had a very good time listening to the music, but found it a little loud and hard to talk with my friends at dinner. read more

Recently took 11 members of my family to Halligans for dinner. Ages of group ranged from 4 to 79 years old. Everyone in the group enjoyed their choice of food. Service was friendly and efficient. Many thanks to the Halligan's staff. read more
