    Fish & Shrimp Basket (with a view of the mozzarella moons substituted instead of fries)

    I was excited to try Hooligan's this year on St. Patrick's Day because it's an Irish pub and I thought it would be fun to go with my boyfriend, but it wasn't much like we expected. It was really busy and loud, but I didn't mind that too much because it's probably a very hectic day of the year for them. What I didn't like so much was the service. When we walked in, nobody greeted us, they just looked at us and we stood there waiting for 2-3 minutes, then assumed we must be in the wrong area to get seated. We then went through the back door, but that was obviously wrong as well, so we went back to the front and after another couple minutes of us looking around, finally a woman told us to sit anywhere and we would be helped soon. We sat down at a table and 30 seconds later she came over and said "What do you want" and we were confused because we had no menus and no time to decide what we wanted. She went to get us menus and gave us another 30 seconds to decide what we wanted, then passed us off to another waitress because she couldn't answer our questions herself. The next waitress was fine, she helped us and the service was quick. We asked if we could substitute fries for mozzarella moons with the fish & shrimp basket, and substitute fries for onion rings with the burger. She said yes but it will be +$4 for mozzarella moons and +$2 for onions rings. We only got 3 mozzarella moons with the fish & shrimp basket so I would say it's not worth it to substitute those for over $1 each. Now for the food, it looked amazing, I'll give them that! However, it didn't taste great. The fish and shrimp were so bland, they needed a lot of salt and the texture wasn't for me. I love fish & chips and have had it many times, and sadly, this time was the worst fish & chips I've ever tried. The burger was great, though! Kind of crazy to me that it costs $1 to add a slice of cheese, though. Now for the sides, the onion rings tasted almost burnt, definitely over cooked. Not great at all. The mozzarella moons were fine, they were pretty standard and had a nice cheese pull at least. I like that they gave us ranch, ketchup, tartar sauce, & cocktail sauce without charging us extra, so that's a plus. Overall, I left this restaurant feeling disappointed because my boyfriend and I don't go out to eat very often (usually once every month) and I wanted a great experience but it wasn't what we expected. It wasn't the worst experience I've ever had, but definitely not the best, and I don't like leaving negative reviews, but hopefully this can give some insight to someone on my experience here.

    This place is amazing! Excellent customer service and prices! Everything on the menu is delicious

    Shepherds Pie
    Cari S.

    The service was good. I went with the Fish tacos and they are worth trying. My husband got the Shepherds Pie. He said it's the best one he has tried around town. Not too salty like most others usually are. He really enjoyed it as did I when sampling! We will return!

    First time here and I'm impressed! The atmosphere was fun and they had live music happening at 8pm. I shared the fish and shrimp basket and it was perfect. We loved the shrimp and I'll definitely order it again. They offer inside and outside and I can't wait to enjoy a summer day here.

    I'm checking out the brand new Irish bar and restaurant in Yuba City that's been open about a week. They have a bar area, small seating, and then a larger room with a stage where they plan on hosting open mic nights and other events like comedy shows. I got the fish and chips, which were cooked to perfection. The batter to fish ratio was money, and they came out hot and crispy. The fries were standard Cisco fries but well cooked also hot and crispy - no soggy fries here. The only thing disappointing on the plate was the coleslaw - missing salt and acid. We made our own spicy ketchup and kicked the fries up a notch. The surprise was the street tacos with corned beef. Ok, so I hate corned beef, but I always try it. Let me say I would come back and order the tacos. They were cooked well done, almost carnita style, and they are not seasoned with the heavy "St. Patrick's day" flavors. We'll done chef - you gave me hope. The staff were so friendly and inviting - definitely a place I would love to come back and watch a show. I can't wait to come back and try the all meat pizza, which is available after 4. Come in and check them out and support local eats and drinks. Had it not been 2:30pm, I would have ordered a drink or two they have a fun menu. I would have grabbed a pick of the menu, but they are updating it, so you'll just have to come in and check them out.

    Bangers & mash with gravy
    Rachel M.

    We were excited to try this new spot in Yuba city! We started with the Irish street tacos, which were delicious! I got the bangers and mash and was not disappointed.... The gravy has a pleasant beer note and the sausage was juicy and a great dish all combined together. We had excellent service and I'm looking forward to trying more dishes in the future.

    Strawberry margarita
    Rita L.

    We went the first week they opened food was great and customer service was awesome. The owner came to our table to meet us he's very friendly. The margaritas were pretty strong and nice size. Highly recommend.

I had heard they had great chicken wings and decided to get a small order ( 6 pieces) . They have a ton of sauces to choose from. I chose the spicy mix ( their viking and Chipotle I think). It was good and crunchy and came with a couple celery and carrot sticks. What I didn't like was the 30 minute wait for 6 wings. Also I had bar seating and could see into the kitchen. More like a social hour than concentrating on their patrons. If you are a regular you will be taken care of quickly. It's more of a sports bar ( full bar) attracting mainly guys. That's fine..it just wasn't my vibe. Plenty of tvs to watch sports which is a plus ( big 49ers fan!). If I eat there again I will order ahead of time and pick it up. The musty smell of the inside was a bit of a turnoff ( old building?). I had a bite and took my food to go. I had plans to go to Sopa Thai!

I'd definitely visit again if there was a big game on and I was in the area. Restaurant was clean. Service was good as well.

The food is always solid. Good portions, good flavor, and consistent every time. It's the kind of place you can rely on whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal. What really makes it though is the people. Patrick is an amazing person. You can tell he genuinely cares about the place, the staff, and the customers. It shows in how everything runs. It feels real, not forced. And honestly, this is the only place in town I'm grabbing a Guinness. They do it right and the whole vibe just fits. Good food, great atmosphere, and even better people.

We kicked off the evening with Jameson shots before diving into the menu. Our group ordered a mix of the corned beef and pastrami sandwiches, while I opted for the corned beef tacos. Every dish was excellent, the corned beef is incredibly tender and literally melts in your mouth. If you want to try it but aren't up for a heavy sandwich and fries, the tacos are a fantastic, flavor-packed alternative that I will definitely order again. The drink selection was equally impressive; the beers were great, and the Irish Mule was delicious. Emma provided outstanding service throughout the night. She was attentive, kept our drinks refilled, and offered excellent menu recommendations. This has quickly become one of our favorite spots, and we will definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

    Went back for another lunch and it didn't disappoint. Yes, this place can be confusing because…read morethere are no servers and you have to order at the bar. I've watched many people seat themselves at tables and leave 10 minutes later because no one asked them what they wanted. Yes, the decor is stuck in the 90's, but I actually like it. The double smash burger I had was excellent. The bun they use is awesome and they charred the patty perfectly. It tasted way better than Fleming's Prime Steakhouse burger I had last week, that's for sure. The thick steak-cut fries are awesome, too. Over salted but nothing a cold beer can't cut through. Highly recommend their smash burger.

    I dropped by with a specific mission - to check out the Smashburger (as part of a burger…read morecompetition I'm participating in). If it wasn't for this "mission," there's a good chance I wouldn't have wandered in. I LOVE Sutter Street, but honestly I don't live nearby and don't have many reasons to come here. That said, I'm thankful for the mission and glad I dropped by. It's a super cute place and the bartender had a nice relaxed chill vibe to her. This is where I'd normally drop her name and give her kudos - but I didn't get her name. I thought her name would be on the receipt, but it wasn't! I assume her name isn't "Shift Night N" anyway, which would be weird - but that's what is listed for "server". Anyway... the burger... I liked it. I liked it a lot. I was not asked how I wanted it cooked (not expected or demanded by me) - but an observation that I toss in for comparison purposes. It was cooked to a solid medium, which is fine with me. Caramelized onions were standard - nice - but the tomato and lettuce were listed as 'optional' - and the bartender (Shift Night N) asked me if I wanted them. I opted in. The bun was above average - definitely a notch above the typical mass-produced buns often used elsewhere. I opted for sweet potato fries. They had good flavor. Personal preference-wise... I would have liked them to be cooked a smidge more. If/when I come back, I'll probably ask them to be crispy-er. Overall, thumbs up! I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try other things on the menu. #burgers
