What an amazing experience and Greg made it an absolute blast. His service was top notch and overall a 5 star experience First off the sweet tea is awesome. I need to find out where to get their mugs because theyre heavy and absolutely awesome The eggrolls are absolutely amazing and sauces are great and tasty For my entree I had the meatloaf and hands down that is the best meatloaf I've ever had. Compliments to the chef because the flavors are strong and blend well. I had green beans and mash potatoes and it Complimented the dish well. The place is like a more sophisticated chilis or closer to the feel of a steakhouse. Its very pleasant and when I went 4pm Monday it was very quiet and peaceful. Had an absolutely wonderful experience. I will definitely be back. read more

On the opposite side of Dallas to see the grand and traffic headed back to Arlington was a disaster. We decided to take the "scenic" (and expensive I might add), route home and hunger set in. Stopped here because we used to eat here all the time when we lived in Rowlett. Anyhow there was an issue with having a server at first but once that was rectified it was smooth sailing. Nathan was our server and he was great. Hubby ordered his old time favorite here with the meatloaf served on mashed potatoes and green beans. He said it was every bit as good as he remembered. I did the same and ordered the stuffed chicken breast with fries and added a cup of French onion soup. Everything was excellent. Ended up adding an espresso martini and left happy and feeling good. Would most definitely recommend this place is you are ever in the Firewheel area of garland. read more

Great Happy hour menu hours and the prices! I have not had their dinner in years, but they're happy hours is great as well as the customer service if you sit in the bar. I can't stop getting the Thai chicken wings. read more

Houlihan's - Lemon Drop Martini - Bars Near Me - Garland, Texas

We have enjoyed this place. The ambiance is always nice. Yesterday, we stopped in for a quick cold beverage and were surprised by the HH portion of spinach dip ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just over 1/4 cup with so many chips! It was HH pricing, but I would rather have paid the extra few $$ for the entire portion. I'm curious about the size of the whole portion. The lettuce wraps were tasty! The beer wasn't very cold, so I had water! The bartender was kind and took great care of everyone at the bar. read more

Let's start with me saying that their happy hour is great when it comes to price. Having said that, the food wouldn't be quite worth the cost if I wasn't ordering off of the happy hour menu. The food is par and for happy hour it's great! The service is great, friendly, and the ambiance in the evenings is nice because they have fire pits and a big patio. The facility is nice as well. I will definitely revisit happy hours but outside of that I don't know if I would go during non-happy hour times. The dumplings were the best thing that I've tasted off of the appetizer menu. Well I'll keep it brief, ok now, bye bye then. read more

Houlihan's - Savignon Blanc - Bars Near Me - Garland, Texas

Houlihans is one of my go to places for lunch. Love the salmon and potato soup. Update 5/30: Diana was a great server. Very attentive. The new seasonal crab stuffed shrimp and risotto was amazing. They need to put this on the main menu. read more

8/23/24: We came by for Happy Hour and sat at the bar. Kyle was bartending and he was super busy. The restaurant was warmer than usual. It took a few minutes for Kyle to get to us, but he was very friendly, and he recognized us from a prior visit. I had a draft beer and my wife had a Pink Elephant, and a Grapefruit Jalapeño Martini. We ordered a cheeseburger with fries and some lemon pepper wings with fries. The food didn't take long to come out, and it was hot and fresh. Kyle kept checking on us, and we had a couple of more rounds. We had a great time there, and Kyle was an awesome host and bartender. read more

As expected it was busy with the holiday. I made a reservation and when I arrived, they were about 15 minutes behind. We were directed to the bar to wait, which was fine. I ordered the Mai Thai which was very good. Our server was phenomenal, very upbeat and pleasant. I ordered from the Valentine's Day menu: the Blackened salmon, which wasn't blackened at all. I think it was undercooked to be honest. Everything else - potato souffle, brussel sprouts, appetizers - crab & shrimp dip, prime rib egg rolls were absolutely delicious. My guest ordered the twin filet mignonettes & enjoyed the meat as well. Based on the experience, I would recommend & return. I would not order the salmon though. read more

Once again, I'm here to celebrate my birthday. While we come here throughout the year, we always enjoy the all day prefix meal. You get an appetizer, entrée, and dessert for one fixed price. It's one heck of a deal. The manager is Jordan and he is always helpful. Our server today was Erin G. I highly recommend asking for Erin. She is very friendly and efficient. She is attentive without being bothersome. Come and enjoy. Don't miss this opportunity. read more

OMG!!! I don't 5-star lightly but I would honestly give 6 stars to the meal I just here if I could. Incredible! Got seated right away, food came quick and was amaaaazing!!! Seriously the best ranch dressing ever made, too. And our server Emily was awesome! read more

I didn't eat any food this time around. This visit was my first since COVID. I must say the spirit of the bartenders have declined since I last remember. I believe two things make a good Happy Hour-food and drink options at affordable prices and two-the care and vibe from the bartenders. A good bartender will have you drinking more because of the conversation, care, and attention to the crowd. This place lost that. My bartender was slow and inattentive and the place was not busy at the time. He really was just there putting in his hours. read more

Houlihan is consistently good with the food, drinks, and service. Erin waited on me and my husband & was Attentive & pleasant! The ambiance is nice, quiet, clean, and comfortable. Great job! Sincerely ~Nadine read more

Had a great dinning experience the server was on top of things and two Managers checked on us from time to time. The food was delicious. Thank you for your efforts. read more

Since I've picked up many DoorDash orders from here, I thought it must be pretty good... Unfortunately, that was not the case. We had at least 3 different appetizers, entrées & desserts, but not a single item stood out. Luckily we had a great server that was very attentive. Other than that, nothing made us want to come back for more! read more

I love Houlihan's! Every single time I've been has been a great experience! I took my friend out to lunch for her birthday and she lives right down the street from the Firewheel location in Garland. As always, the restaurant is stylishly decked out. I love the lantern vignette on the ceiling! They have cool decor and a really lovely ambience. Our server was very friendly, had great recommendations and was very attentive. The lunch menu is awesome. We started with lettuce wraps which are some of my favorites. They are served with lettuce leaves, wonton strips, yummy chicken and a tangy and tasty sauce. I loved the drinks that they had on special, my friend got one of the tiki cocktails and it was really delicious not to mention adorable in the little tiki cup. My niece got a blueberry mojito which is really delicious as well. We all had a really hard time deciding what to get because there were so many options to choose from on the menu! For lunch I got the salmon with mashed potatoes and green beans served with a dill sauce. The salmon was cooked perfectly and was so flavorful! I was so happy with my meal. So. GOOD! My friend had the baked potato soup and ahi tuna salad and my niece had soup and a caesar salad. Everything was delicious! We all thoroughly enjoyed our food and probably over ate because it was so dang delicious. It was a great experience and I am definitely looking forward to coming back for more Houlihan's awesomeness. read more

This location is very convenient at the Firewheel town center. We like the patio when the weather is pleasant. We have consistent service and great food every time we come. The restrooms are fully stocked, but room for improvement in their cleanliness in the women's restroom.... The inside of the stall door and walls were gross and the floor was sticky, which makes for a not so pleasant experience. The food is great, although we miss the Parmesan frites. Their house and caesar salads are delicious. read more

We were looking for something casual and not over priced around firewheel. 730 on a Friday - no issue getting in and service was spot on. So friendly, attentive and no pressure. He wanted the lettuce wrap app and I wanted shrimp so we got both. The spicy shrimp was exactly what you would get anywhere. Good. But, the lettuce wraps were fantastic. Normally, we like minced and spicy. But, thess had large chunks and a sweeter sauce. Soo.... Good. Happily have two sets of them. My dinner was the sea scallops, large portion. The cook wasn't super even but they still tasted good and the risotto was flavorful. He got the french dip, which we had low expectations. We love a good Chicago style and usually the meat is too thick or bread too thin or terrible ratio of meat to bun. This was perfect. Crusty bread which didn't get too soggy, good ratio of bun to meat and shaved thin. The horseradish sauce was good enough to dip fries in it. Overall, how can you go wrong. read more

I know, I know...but I have dined at the Garland location several times now and just can't seem to find anything to really complain about. Houlihan's is great for a date night, family dinner or lunch after church. Typically, we start with the bacon wrapped shrimp (deeeelish!) and Houlihan's has brought their amazing Prime Rib back!!! The Fish and Chips is outstanding and plenteous for a massive appetite (teen son) and the specialty drinks are always yummy. I intentionally left the service for last...my parents are elderly and it is becoming more and more difficult to find restaurants that cater to the elderly. Houlihan's always has amazing service and truly considerate to their patrons. Applause, Applause everyone!! read more

Karen was the best server; we had a large party for a birthday party. The food and drinks were delicious. We got calamari and spinach dip as appetizers and it was to die for. I tried the white sangria and it didn't disappoint. I got the grilled chicken wrap with sweet potato fries and I'm so glad I did, it was delicious! I can't wait to go back. read more

Went here for a Sunday happy hour with a good friend of mine. $5 lemon drops that were nice and strong, our server was decent, the vibes were super chill. Will be back 100%! Highly recommend for a Sunday happy hour. A rare find but a life saver! read more

This is our local go to place for its food and drinks. Everything was always great until the evening on Fri 6/2. First there wasnt a sign for happy hour area seating, so we got charged full price for our 2 drinks. Then we asked for the desert to go and we got a brownie instead of cheesecake. 2 people 2 drinks 2 meals at 635pm The Manager came over to show us the "Fine Print" on the last page of a pleather menu tucked behind the ketchup/pepper holder. Stating where the happy hour seating was located. The manager didnt give us a discount or offered us anything for our potential future visit. read more

Came here on Christmas day with my grandpa because it was one of the only places we could get reservations. I have never tried this place before so had no idea if it would be good. First off, all the staff were amazing. Our reservation was at 4pm which is also the time they closed, but a staff member called us to confirm the reservation and assured we wouldn't be rushed through our meal. At the restaurant, our server was friendly and had such a cheerful attitude. Everyone made it a great experience. For the food, we both got the all day fix for $22.99 which included an appetizer, entree and dessert. There was so much food we ended up taking the dessert and half the entree home so its a good deal. We also got the calamari which we both enjoyed but we don't eat it much so are no experts. The house salad had shredded lettuce which I wasn't a fan of but thats just me. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly. Garlic green beans were crunchy and seasoned well. The mashed potatoes were too salty for me but I still ate them anyways. Lastly, cheesecake was soo tasty! My grandpa also enjoyed his meal with his favorite being the baked potato soup. We are so grateful for his place making our Christmas experience a good one and the staff members for working the holiday. read more

Where do I start... the bartender only talks to the people he knows. Finally flagged him down to order after 15 minutes. The wings came out over cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside and doughy. The nachos were made with canned chickens and a bunch if unnecessary toppings And apparently I was not cool enough to ask if I needed anything else, how the food was or receive silverware. The drinks were good( earned the 2 stars) Safe to say I wont be back here. read more

The service was friendly and speedy! The food was delicious as well! I was surprised because I just popped in after shopping and did not have high expectations. Will come back! read more

Ehhh. I only had the "spicy" chicken & avocado egg rolls for lunch. It's not really spicy chicken and more like bbq chicken. Barley any avocado and they were cold. Not happy with the service or food. My water cup was insanely filthy as well. I probably won't come back to eat here nothing special. read more

Emily was super sweet - food is really good. Had the chocolate brownie batter cake - sooooo good!

We grew up going to Houlihan's at NorthPark Mall in the 1980's so we were thrilled to find this location. Our server was Carren and she was amazing! So friendly and very helpful with menu sections. Same delicious Famous Mushrooms - just like I remember. We went for a date night and sat on the lovely patio. It happened to be Happy Hour so we ordered lots of small plates to share. Everything was delicious. Dave, one of the managers stopped by our table and he was fantastic. We will definitely be back. read more

Ordered the Prime Rib French Dip the au jus was watered down brown gravy and the meat was so cold we didn't know how the cheese was melted. We sat at the bar and the Bartender was nice enough, but the Shiner on tap was flat, which he acknowledged. The place looked clean. read more

First thanks to the patrons that warned us about the fruit fly infestation near the front windows on the. parking lot side. The wait staff was kind of impersonable but wanted to ensure we remembered his name (he's forgettable), but his name was ROCK solid) pun intended. The ambience is always quite nice and the restrooms clean. The new menu very nice and tasty, no shrooms this time but they are one of our favorites. Other than the fruit fly's we manage to have a good experience. read more

Most excellent service and wonderful food. Nicole did an excellent job seeing to the needs of our rather large group. Thank you so much!

The atmosphere is great, nice quiet and private booths. Food was outstanding and the best part is you can order half portions which is really nice for a lot of people. read more

We have been coming to Houlihans for 15 years and we have enjoyed getting to know the staff over the years. We have loved the food and community at this location. Jordan P. Is one of our favorites! He has mastered crowded patio's, worked the bar and the floor and he always has a smile! He is excellent!! He even recommended the crab dip which we LOVE!! The food here is great and the team is fabulous! We will be back next week! read more

We were a very large party on a random weekday months ago, despite that, our server Nicole was on her game! She was attentive, fun, provided recommendations on meals, nice to the kiddos in our group- just perfection. I had been meaning to write a review for awhile and found the little dining card with her name (those work!). Also our food was great! read more

We've been coming here sine it opened and have never been disappointed!

This is my 3rd time here and again disappointed. The cubano monitoring and grapefruit jalapeño were super sweet and I could taste absolutely no alcohol. The appetizer was meeeeh! Chicken avocado egg rolls tasted out of the box. Definitely do not recommend. I only gave 2 stars because the server was sweet. read more

I lived in Dallas about 12 years ago and STL prior to that. A staple of two to three nights a week was a trip to Houlihans. Fat man loves this place. Service is better than most similar restaurants. Food quality is also superior. For some reason years ago I fell head over heals with the French Onion Soup. I'm morally certain it gets delivered in a poly bag from a corporate kitchen. I don't care. It taste good. I promise, you will like it. I suggest for first timers to try the Houlihans Burger. It will please everyone. Make sure to get the added bacon. If you are a Buffalo chicken fan you might want to choose the Buffalo chicken salad. Yup! Fat man endorsed a salad. It is a first right here! Fat man will be back next week for a chicken parm sandwich. Stay safe folks. Wear those masks. read more
