I would give this place zero stars if I could. The management is unprofessional and clearly doesn't value their customers. The most shocking part of my experience was when the cook actually told a customer to "make your own wrap" instead of addressing the issue professionally. That kind of behavior is completely unacceptable in any restaurant. Good customer service starts with respect, and unfortunately this establishment seems to be lacking both leadership and accountability. I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone expecting courteous service or a welcoming atmosphere. read more

Stopped in to watch the Lions game last week with a couple of friends. Tons of TVs in here and pretty solid bar food! We just got some onion rings (the cowboy ranch is really good!) and the bread pudding which was soooo warm and yummy. They have good deals on drinks on Thursdays too and the service was super helpful and attentive. read more

The food was delivered via GrubHub. The amount seemed a little bit less than expected but wow, was it delicious. The prices seemed higher but the portions seemed smaller. We ordered the 3 pcs Fish N Chips King Size and the meatloaf dinner. Fish N Chips 4/5, crispy and tasty, but small. Meatloaf dinner 4/5 small portions but great flavors! read more

This is a clean bar/restaurant with lots of TVs. We came here to watch some of The Masters. I ordered a banana bread old fashioned. Good, not amazing. I started with a loaded cup of potato soup. It's like mashed potato soup with potato chunks and loaded with onions, bacon, and cheese. Really good! I added a Buffalo hot sauce to it and it was even better. I also ordered the onion rings. I thought these were "just ok". Not bad, but wouldn't order again. My Husband got the boneless wings tossed in Nashville hot sauce. Chef's kiss!!! So good! He also ordered the fries. These were great as well. Hand cut and fresh. I'd say the wings knocked it out of the park though... I would highly recommend. Beers were good and cold too. Service was fast and friendly. We would return again. Thanks! read more

We had a great first experience at Irish Tavern and intend to go back. Passing by this place is always packed, so we opted to stop in. The server was helpful and got us signed up for a loyalty program to get $10 off our next time in. The gravy on the biscuits & boxty was a highlight. Homemade without being starchy like some gravy is. I had the cobb salad. It was good, the chicken was a bit dry. It appeared that they had sliced pre-breaded chicken and then fried it which dried some of it out That would be my only knock but again will return! read more

Well - don't bother trying to go for the Sunday brunch unless you're into Bingo. Seriously , its microphone is so loud it's not like you can ignore it and enjoy the brunch. We were excited to partake in the advertised brunch with mimosa and bloody Mary bar and were so stunned to walk in to loud bingo numbers being called out through a loud microphone! Couldn't turn around and leave fast enough. Nowhere in all we read ever said anything about Bingo occurring during the advertised Sunday Brunch. Huge FAIL! read more

I have to begin by saying the best part of my meal here, was the ambiance for someone's birthday party during karaoke night. I may be a tad biased, but the moment we said we didn't want alcohol our waitress bailed and pretty much forgot about us after taking our water/iced tea order; we only received the water. We had ordered the pretzel with beer cheese for an appetizer and two cups of the French onion soup and our entrees were two different boxty meals. We never received the appetizer and when it finally arrived, the soup and meals followed within seconds. So, we went from being completely overlooked to flooded with food all at once. Overall, the soup was tasty and the pretzels were piping hot, but both of our meals seemed like they were lacking some filling. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I probably wouldn't go back, but I'd tell you go try it for yourself. Maybe it was just a bad night? read more

This place is "IT" for brunch! Of the handful of times we've been here either buy ourselves or with a group, brunch has been our stop 100% of the time. Can't go wrong with a good boxty and bottomless mimosas! Depending on the time, I've gotten a club sandwich/chicken sandwich a time or two as well, but their breakfast items are a huge hit! Maybe one day we'll be back for dinner/drinks, but the morning time on the weekends is definitely a lot of fun and will fill you up! read more

Garrett's Irish Pub is not merely a place of business; it is a living, breathing monument to comfort, community, and culinary excellence. To call it a "pub" almost feels like an understatement, because what exists within those walls is something far greater than food and drink. It is a sanctuary for the hungry, a refuge for the weary, and a gathering place where laughter, conversation, and unforgettable memories are forged night after night. From the moment you step inside, you can feel it--this is not a place you simply visit; it is a place you belong. The atmosphere alone deserves its own essay. The warm glow of the lighting wraps around you like an old friend, while the rich wood tones and classic pub décor instantly transport you somewhere timeless. It feels authentic, grounded, and alive, as if the walls themselves have stories to tell. Every seat feels like the best seat in the house, whether you're tucked into a cozy booth, leaning against the bar, or gathered around a table with friends. The hum of conversation, the clink of glasses, and the occasional burst of laughter create a soundtrack that perfectly captures what a true Irish pub should feel like. Then there is the food--glorious, unforgettable, soul-satisfying food. Garrett's Irish Pub does not simply serve meals; it delivers experiences on plates. Each dish arrives with presence, confidence, and the unmistakable promise that something great is about to happen. The flavors are bold yet comforting, rich without being overwhelming, and crafted with a level of care that is rare to find. This is the kind of food that makes you pause after the first bite, look up from your plate, and silently acknowledge that you are eating something special. It's hearty, indulgent, and deeply satisfying in a way that feels almost emotional. Every ingredient seems thoughtfully chosen, every recipe perfected over time. There is no rush here, no cutting corners--just honest, delicious food made the way it should be. Whether you're ordering a full meal or something smaller to share, the quality never wavers. It's the kind of place where even your "usual order" somehow tastes better every single time, as if the kitchen is determined to outdo itself with each visit. And of course, no great Irish pub would be complete without exceptional drinks--and Garrett's delivers in legendary fashion. The beers are poured with precision and pride, arriving cold, fresh, and exactly as they should be. Each sip feels earned, enhanced by the atmosphere and the company around you. The cocktail selection is equally impressive, crafted with skill and balance, offering both comfort and excitement in every glass. Whether you're celebrating something big or unwinding after a long day, there is no better place to raise a drink. What truly elevates Garrett's Irish Pub from excellent to extraordinary, however, is the people. The staff are not just employees; they are the heartbeat of the pub. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, they treat every guest like a familiar face. Even on your first visit, you feel like you've been coming there for years. Their warmth, humor, and professionalism create an environment that feels effortless yet intentional, making each visit feel personal and special. There is a sense of community at Garrett's that cannot be manufactured. It happens naturally, organically, because everything about the place encourages connection. Conversations flow easily, friendships form spontaneously, and nights stretch longer than expected because no one wants to be the first to leave. It is the kind of pub where milestones are celebrated, traditions are born, and ordinary evenings turn into stories you tell for years. In a world where so many places feel rushed, generic, or forgettable, Garrett's Irish Pub stands as a powerful reminder of how things should be done. It honors tradition without feeling outdated, delivers excellence without arrogance, and creates joy without trying too hard. Every visit feels like a small escape--a chance to slow down, enjoy good food, great drinks, and even better company. Ultimately, Garrett's Irish Pub is more than amazing--it is iconic. It is the kind of place that becomes part of people's routines, their memories, and their lives. You don't just recommend Garrett's; you speak about it with conviction. You bring friends there. You celebrate there. You crave it when you're away. Garrett's Irish Pub is not just somewhere you go--it's somewhere you return to, again and again, because once you've experienced it, nowhere else quite compares. read more

Decided to go Irish since it's close by and open for dine-in and a place we haven't been to yet. They have a live Irish band. We are out on the patio. It's written on the menu that they charge extra for credit card charges, passing on the 3% charge the owner is too cheap to pay for with having a business and all. I am already not loving the business model of this place. I already have a feeling we will be charged for the club soda. Our waitress is nice enough, but she's training Patrick. We asked for a minute to order, we got a few minutes to order our food. We ordered the Turkey Reuben and a buffalo chicken salad had a side of cole slaw too. Some guy came into the enclosed patio with his tank top and his dog on the patio. He sat at table right by us. He's less than 3 feet away from me. He was here to see Sally, so he says and knows the staff here as well. He came in like he owned the place and plopped himself right by us and let his dog get too close for comfort for me. I don't mind dogs by me on an open patio, but not a huge fan when it's enclosed and feet's away from my food. He wasn't leaving anytime soon. We grabbed our waters and went to get an inside table far from this clueless guy. The Buffalo chicken salad wasn't too bad, crisp romaine lettuce. Bread roll was warm and had a nice crust to it. The Turkey Reuben was also okay. Fries were crispy. Turkey meat seemed uneven and different thickness and slices. As expected all of the menu prices were inflated to reflect the 3% on the bill. The live Irish band is a nice added touch. Patrick is super attentive, warm and friendly. He will do well for sure, he has a good personality and is patient and on top of things too. read more

I was here with a large group and had a great experience. The staff handled the crowd well, food came out at the same time and was correct. I had a simple salad, which was fresh. Others in our group had the fish and chips (which was reported as so so) and one of the Boxtyls, which they said was fantastic. Would absolutely go again. read more

Went here for a quick drink after work with some coworkers and although it was busy, service was great! Had some great music (great DJ/playlist that night) for a relaxing environment. However the best thing was the fried pickles! They were crispy on the outside and very juicy on the inside making one of the best fried pickles I've had. Would recommend! read more

spent last football season here, great atmosphere to watch any Detroit team. I consider this my home away from home and am always treated with fantastic service from all wait staff. I've had the pleasure talking with the main cook in the back and he does a fantastic job with all the menu items. The management team is great a listening to any concerns, and questions you may have. Their bar tender Madison last year for the lions game was always on point and gave excellent service and performance, never had to worry about my beer being empty! I would 10/10 recommend to anyone and everyone. read more

First time in for my son's birthday. It has that sports bar feel with a nice menu that has some good Irish dishes. We all had something different and everyone was very happy with their meals. We started out with three apps. The pretzels, fried pickles (which were extremely good) and the seasoned fry app. Service was perfect; showed up when needed, but not hovering. I can't wait to back to try something else on the menu. read more

We lunched here with friends and loved it! The service (thanks, Doris!) was friendly, skilled and efficient. The milieu: open and welcoming! Tuesdays are " Boxty Day", and so it was that we each ordered one. My Reuben Boxty was hot and thick. I washed it down with an Irish coffee that was flavorful. Do try the house chili. It's nicely spiced. We finished by sharing the hot, fresh and tasty bread pudding - recommended! read more

So always loved this place but this visit was absolutely horrible. Wings were way over cooked and there was practically no meat on them at all.

Came here for late lunch. Service was super slow even though there was barely anyone here, but the waitress was chill. Service could have been faster and the staff nicer. The food was good. I loved the steak, mushroom boxty I got, the cheese curds were amazing. My son got chicken wings, and he devoured them. The ambiance is inviting. They have a bar, a dining area inside, and a patio. The food was priced fairly. I will probably be back, but I'll drink next time. I gave this place a 3 for slow service, and waitress could have had a better attitude. read more

We came here on a whim, looking for fish & chips...on a Friday...during Lent. Honestly though, the wait wasn't bad at all and it was fabulous people watching! I'm very picky on my fish, as I'm not a huge fan, but theirs was delicious. You get three large pieces of cod, and while one of my pieces was a bit mushy inside, the other two were good. I should mention that the soggy fish was in the piece that is noticeably darker. Their fries are perfectly seasoned, and some of the best I've had in a long time! Their three piece fish came with a small side of coleslaw and of course, tarter sauce- both were very good. We will definitely be back! read more

First time coming I went on a Wednesday afternoon. Their special was $10 burgers any burger so me and my co-workers got that. I started with the Bavarian pretzels sticks and cheese they came with 3 of them and they were delicious. Perfectly flavored. I got the bbq burger and the burger had such great flavor I haven't had a burger with this month flavor I feel in years! My co workers got the loaded Irishman and the beach burger which they stayed was delicious as well. Will definitely come again. Decently priced and the waitress Jackie was a perfect server. Also the chips we're delicious with there dip that they make in house yummmm. read more

I'm a solid "maybe" on this place. The food waa okay but the service left much to be desired. We waited 15 minutes for someone to acknowledge our existence. At that point we ordered mozzarella cheese sticks, which required an additional forty minute wait. We ordered fish and chips, which were quite good. The portions were healthy and the fish was nicely battered and fried. You can probably skip the cole slaw. It was overly gloopy with mayonnaise and VERY sweet. Thankfully, the entrees came out much faster than the appetizer. Everyone is entitled to an "off" night, so I will visit again before making a final judgment on the place. read more

Tried again, I got a bowl of chili and the Dublin Green beans (batter fried green beans), and bf got the Chicken Boxty. All I can say is yum. Wrapping food in a potato pancake is a stroke of genius. It was delicious, the chicken and cheese combo inside was tender, melty and just right. The green beans were crisp, the batter had a nice flavor & I got to pretend I was eating healthy because it had a veggie inside. My chili was a little thin for my taste, but the overall flavor wasn't bad. I added some cheese & sour cream from my fridge to zing it up a bit. Everything was ready super quick. Looking forward to trying more options. read more

I had a really nice experience visiting this place for the first time on a Thursday evening. I came with my 3 year old daughter and my mom and her boyfriend. Although I am assuming this is a legit Bar with karaoke etc. at night, it is very kid friendly during the day. I really liked that they had a kids menu. The inside itself is decorated really uniquely and has cool, Irish decorations and lights . I ordered the grilled chicken boxty and really liked it. It was quite a large portion enough to take home. They offer a vegetarian boxty with Thai curry sauce. That also looks very nice. They have a decent draft list and a couple craft cocktails. The fish and chips was really good and I would recommend it. I would like to come back and try some apps. They have a good size menu, and the service was great! read more

This is a new owner and food concept, at this location before was a gastropub that failed, this is an Irish style bar. They changed the layout inside a little, the outside area is bigger. Lots of low key Irish themed stuff on the walls, some of the draft and canned beers are Irish. They have the Irish filled pancakes and rubens and fish and chips, in addition to more traditional bar food. The bartender and server was fast and polite. Food was good. Beer list was kind of short but decent prices. Okay food prices. Lots of TVs on the walls all turned to sport channels, different sports from golf to BB to racing. They do use the old fashioned paper bills and taking your card, instead of the modern pay at the table tablets. read more

"Irish" taverns/pubs/restaurants etc... are always a bit off putting for me because most of them are anything but Irish and just have a feeling that they're were built from a kit... but I've heard good things about IT, so I thought it was worth checking out. The interior was nothing flashy or fancy, so that's a good start. There were some Irish themed beer posters and mirrors, and some other small decor, but it wasn't trying to overcompensate with the usual "Look at me! I'm an Irish Pub!" type thing. Clean tables, simple concrete bar, darts, shuffle board and a nice looking bar. There was also outside seating AND and enclosed patio. The service was good, but not great. Friendly, but not overbearing. Our orders were taken accurately and brought out quickly, so that's good enough for me! The kettle chips app was a big surprise. The chips were HOT, so I can only guess that they actually do cut and fry them in house. The chips were a perfect size; not too thick and not too thin. The beef, mushroom and cheese boxty was also a winner. The homemade potato pancake was very flavorful, and I'd be shocked if it wasn't done in house as claimed. A nice mix of flavors, especially that horseradish sauce. Well prepared and delicious. My wife had the Irish Fried Chicken and it too was very good. The beer selection was good, if not a but pricey considering they didn't offer a larger size, so that'd really be my only ding on the rating. I'd like to come back soon and sample something different from the menu. I've been impressed so far! read more

Last weekend my friend and I had lunch. We both enjoyed our Boxtys . Always have a good meal here . They have a nice variety in their menu .

Hi all. This place is a 5 to watch a game and much on pub grub. If you are not a regular, it can take a moment or 2 to get served. We did carry out and that was what I am giving 3 stars. I ordered fish and chips and gave very specific instructions. My requests were not met, at all. Food was a 3.5, but the failure to get me what I wanted is a 0. My wife had a sandwich and other than being a mess, it was meh. I tried it and would have given it a 3.5. I am disappointed since I talked my wife into ordering from there instead of Royal Oak Brewery. read more
