    Fish cod with coleslaw and french fries
    Lars F.

    The food was really good. The atmosphere was awesome. Service the service was really good. I had the lug nut burger with fries it was delicious. I would go back there again.

    "chicken tenders"

    First, the wait was terrible. We waited about 15 minutes for someone to come up to us the get us our drinks. Another 15 for us to get our drinks and get our food ordered and about 30 minutes for us to get our food. Second, the food was absolutely terrible. I had high hopes for this pub and sadly the food didn't live up to them. My friends got the burgers and they were cheap and terrible. I had the Chicken tenders and French fries and the were cheap, soggy, and just not good. Last, after we got our food we were not helped at all. We wanted our checks as soon as the food hit our table and sadly we didn't get them until a half hour after because it took that long for someone to pass our table for us to call them over. Overall not pleased.

    Nice local bar.

    Very busy downtown lunch spot. Came in today and ordered a Cobb salad. When it came it was in a bed of greens and had a good portion of vegetables. The only thing that makes me wonder is why does the kitchen put strawberries and blueberries on a Cobb salad? Decent salad for the price of being downtown Lansing. Large crowd of people funneled into the restaurant but the staff were really hustling to keep up. I will return and maybe try the Reuben sandwich which looked really good. Trust.

    We love Kelly's. It's right downtown, with plenty of parking. The sandwiches are fantastic, both delicious and cheap. Lynne has been our bartender and she is so sweet, she even recognized us after our third visit and made an effort to remember our names. We love the "regulars bar" feel here.

    I love coming here for the good food at an affordable price (the cherry burger is my favorite) and the owners are the nicest.

    We recently celebrated my girlfriend's 50th birthday, and it did not disappoint! We hosted the…read moreparty with approximately 60 guests at McGonigle's Irish Pub in Kalamazoo, and they were the most accommodating and helpful team to work with--from the manager to our assigned server and caterer. They allowed our party planning group to completely transform the space with linens, a DJ, and even a photo booth complete with a couch. They also noticed our boujee party décor and thoughtfully went out and purchased serving plates that matched the theme. We truly appreciated that level of attention to detail and the extra effort they made to help bring our vision to life. The food was delicious and exactly as expected. Our server and caterer were attentive, efficient, and always one step ahead--no one ever had to wait for a drink. They also did a fantastic job keeping tables cleared and tidy so everyone could relax and enjoy the celebration. Working with the McGonigle's team was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. If I could give them 100 stars, I would! They are truly a hidden gem in Kalamazoo, and I would highly recommend them for any special event or gathering.

    Atmosphere is friendly, comfortable bar, nice TVs for sports and great service…read more Beyond just bar food they have an extensive menu. Homemade ranch is a great addition to anything. The Texas toast garlic bread is worth getting the dinner portion.
