    The best part about this location is the service. The bartender and waitresses are all very friendly, and they come check on you several times throughout your meal. The food itself is very OK. We got the grilled cheese with tomato, and it was fine but room temperature. The fries were also under seasoned and needed quite a bit of salt. They have a large selection of drinks, a be prepared as many of them are not available. We had to ask for three different drinks before they had one of them available from their drink menu. Atmospheres is also pretty good. The lighting is a little dim, however, it is great. Come here on Tuesday night at 8 PM if you want to participate in some trivia as well!

    This place is fantastic! My number 1 complaint is that everything was so sticky! The floor was sticky, the chairs were sticky (but wicked comfortable), the menus were sticky... just... sticky! I have no idea what they could even do about that or if they'd want to do anything about it, but I did not love the sticky... Food -- I had the "Shepherd's Pie" or Cottage Pie as it would culinary be called. It had nice, roasted (not ground) hunks of beef and bits of carrot, corn, surrounded by a moat of gravy. Absolutely divine -- I've had several of these pies and often there's too much cheese, but they put just the right amount of cheese to make a crust and left it at that! I took "home" leftovers to our hotel and actually had it cold, on the road the next day and it was great road food -- like a deconstructed pasty. Two people in our party had the beef stew (which is where I suspect the beef comes from for the "Shepherd's Pie") HUGE chunks of stewed carrots! Dripping in gravy, I read that many people said there would be leftovers and it was a huge dish, but neither person took home leftovers of the beef stew. Someone ordered the fries and it came with the horseradish sauce. I'm not a huge fan of that sinus-cleanser spice, but this sauce was well-balanced and very yummy. The fries were average, an okay vehicle for the sauce. All around -- I'd definitely go back and recommend. Perhaps go after a fancy event, not before (like we did!)

    This was the place that I had my first drink as a 21 year old, before going downtown to celebrate. Years later I popped in during my grandmothers wake, for a shot in her honor with my brother and dad. The service is great. I love the interior and the beer garden, it was honestly what we needed during a long, and sad day. I also appreciated the nostalgia. Glad to see this place is still around after all these years!

    And here we are!!

    It's great being amongst the Southside Irish, especially during St. Patrick's day weekend. What a friendly greeting, we said it was our first time here so the gentleman took us for a tour of all the rooms and outside areas before we landed in our own room, by the entrance. Such friendly service overall and we decided on the chicken strips - which were plentiful, the Reuben burger - which was unique, and the corned beef and cabbage - which prevented me from cooking my own St. Patty's meal. FYI, their corned beef and cabbage is so much better than my home made version. While being in this pub atmosphere - I couldn't help but think of the Emerald Isle, Trinity, Waterford, Kilkenny, Kiliman Gaol, Jameson, Guinness, County of Cork, Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Mohr, Dublin, Teeling, Galway, etc. Thank you Irish Times, for that brief feeling of being back in Ireland. This reprieve was very much needed. And thank you for the great food as well. Top of the evening to ya!!

    Ordered a $16 wedge salad for pickup. I'm just gonna leave the picture to show what I got. There are no words. Just...never again.

They have an outdoor patio, and since the weather was nice we took advantage of it and sat outside. Perfect day to just slow down and enjoy the weather. The staff were super nice too and everything felt easygoing from the start. I ordered the Bourbon Glazed Steak Skewers with wheatberry rice and homemade potato salad. When the food came out the first thing I noticed was how tender the steak looked. First bite confirmed it. The meat was juicy, soft, and had this smoky char flavor from the grill mixed with the sweetness from the bourbon glaze. The glaze itself was really good too. It had that sticky caramelized flavor with a little savory kick behind it, so every bite was a balance of smoky, sweet, and salty all together. The peppers and onions added a nice freshness too. Honestly the rice and potato salad were both bombsas well. The potato salad especially tasted homemade in the best way. Creamy, flavorful, and perfect with the steak skewers. The whole experience was just really good.

They don't toss, but give you the sauce on the side, which I was fine with. I asked for blue cheese crumbles, and they put a nice amount.

I recommend a larger bowl. The server was friendly. I gave it 3 stars because it's absolutely filthy! I came right when they opened on a weekday, and the floors weren't cleaned from the night before. Literally food in the corners. Also, the table next to me filled with crumbs. When a group sat there, they wiped all the crumbs with their hand-eek! The table is so grimy that it's literally sticky! If you look at the trim, gate, condiments container,lights, and furniture- you can see loads of dust and grime. This place needs a GOOD clean down!

The staff acted like they were protecting ancient bloodlines instead of refilling ranch dressing. At one point I honestly wanted to ask: "Sir, are you judging me... while wearing a polo shirt with barbecue sauce on it?" The energy was aggressively holier-than-thou for a place where the main cultural contribution is fried appetizers and vodka seltzer. To be fair, the food was fine. But the side of racial superiority was a little harassing for my ego. Beautiful naturally redheaded bartenders girls though ‍

My friends and I have stayed away from here due to rude staff, riff raff, fights, etc. in the last several years. We decided to give them a try a week ago as we were assured by another patron that it was under new ownership. The new owners supposedly cleaned house and removed all the previous troublesome staff. Everything seemed to have improved from our visit here a week ago, but that's because Michelle was not there. We had zero issues with the staff that day, we were served without issue, and overall we thought the renovations were an improvement. The prices have gone up but they have added premium beverages to their selection. Unfortunately, Michelle was not included in the staff overhaul, and mistreated my friend during a recent visit. It is a real shame that The Cordial Inn continues to have problem bartenders, because this place *used* to be a gem. It's now a far cry from cordial. The interior renovations are not worth it for any of us to tolerate disrespectful behavior from bar staff. I am beyond offended that the new owners allow the bar staff to treat customers badly. There are plenty of other choices in the area, and my choice is to spend my money where the staff appreciate my money and patronage.
