    Ruben with Fries
    connie C.

    Awesome restaurant with a great variety of food for even a picky eater. I had the Ruben and fries which was delicious. The wife had the Chicken Marcella which she loved. Prices are very reasonable and a great assortment of adult beverages. Great for kids with seating indoors and outdoors. Highly recommended!!!

    Found this great spot hiding on a hill top in Carmel. Great family eatery!! A casual fun place with cold beer, nice cocktails, and great food. Place has charm and from what I hear they host so very cool events. The back patio complete with waterfall is absolutely adorable. Look, this is not fine dinning or anything fancy..it's a cool, come as you are type of place with friendly staff and nice clientele. If you find yourself in this beautiful town, definitely stop in for a nice drink and a great burger..ENJOY!!

    Nice place. Searching Google for a local place to go, I came across "McCarthy's Grill House" and it looked interesting enough to try. For some reason on Yelp it's "McCarthy Family Eatery" - so not sure which one it's supposed to be. Once inside, it looks like an old school bar and pub, but there's booths and another room with plenty of tables. The place has a nice feel. There's a pool table, an old school arcade game, and just a generally comfortable feel. The menus looked good, was varied enough, and most of the prices were reasonable. The waiter was friendly enough. They put out a bowl of chips and water upon sitting. Be careful not to eat too much of the chips, as they may fill you up before the actual food comes. I always order a bacon cheeseburger when I come to a new place simply because I like it and it's an easy dish, that if the place messes that up then I won't be looking to try anything else. I ordered the French Onion soup, which was good. My companion ordered the Lobster Bisque - which I tried a little of and it was very good. The burger itself was good and cooked correctly, though I wasn't a fan of the poppy seed roll used as a bun. A roll as a bun is fine, but perhaps a heads up that it's a poppy seed roll. I'm not a fan of poppy seeds at all, but it wasn't the end of the world. The fries were fine. There's outdoor seating for when the weather gets nicer. The parking lot is ok enough. It's up a long hill, so drive fast enough and you may miss the turn into this place. Overall a nice place and I would come here again for sure.

    A favorite destination. Solid people setving unpretentious, solid fare. Enjoy everything from zucchini sticks to steak, soups to burgers, wraps to shepherd's pie. Don't miss the flights of beer. Fun way to get acquainted with beers you've never had

    A wonderful local bar tucked back on Route 52. Reasonably priced with excellent burgers and wings. The staff is warm, engaging, and a blast!

    My husband and I found a last minute reservation for Valentine's Day here. We read about the owners…read moreand were optimistic that is would be a great meal. WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED! We had a delicious prix fixe VDay menu that was hands-down one of the best meals we've had in years. We are transplants from the city and felt like we were back in Brooklyn. Every bite was mouth-watering, from the salted butter and warm bread to the perfectly dressed beet and bitter green salad...to the delicious steak, halibut, and pots de creme and olive oil cake for dessert. What an absolute treat, made only better by the attentive and congenial waitstaff that made you feel like a regular. Oh, and the drinks - the mixologist at the bar created a perfect drink every time! And thanks for coming to say hello, Kaitlyn! Cannot recommend this place enough - do not let the strip mall locale deter you - this place is worth it in every way! It should be wall-to-wall waitlist every night - prepare to be delighted!

    It was our first time at Rye Republic, and we would definitely go back. The Cucumber Mule was tasty…read moreand refreshing - the perfect summertime drink. Hot wings are buffalo-style, simple and delicious, served with ranch or blue cheese, a dozen good-sized pieces per order. Smashburgers come piled high with two patties plus fixins. The porchetta sandwich was wonderful, with the fattiness of the meat balanced by the tangy pickled onions. Fries were nicely crispy, and the portions were generous. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The only thing that keeps this from being a five-star review is the chicken sandwich, which was disappointingly under-seasoned. Looking forward to another visit!

It was a nice night so we sat outside and they really do have a nice patio by the lake. I started with an old fashioned that was very well made. Having looked online, I knew I wanted to try the short rib tacos and the fig, goat cheese and prosciutto flat bread. Both were very good and I probably could have stopped there because I was getting full. Definitely recommend those two appetizers. For my entree, I had the chicken schnitzel which came with potato salad. The schnitzel was fine. I enjoyed it but it's not something I would go out of my way to have again. I will say that the Czech-style potato salad was amazing. I would go out of my way to get more of that....hands down the best potato salad I've ever had. Service was friendly but a little scattered. I would have liked another drink but after our entrees were dropped, we couldn't get our waitress to come by and the food runner couldn't take a drink order. Again, nice service but just not polished. I think this is a place worth visiting. Definitely try some potato salad!

The restaurant reminded me of a trip to Ireland where we had stopped in a small food market and there was a pub in the back. This is mainly a restaurant-pub with a small market full of Irish goodies.

    This place is a nice place for a good meal. I've been twice and had two classics..the Corned beef…read moreand cabbage ( which is my favorite meal in the world ) personally, I do prefer it traditional meaning cabbage boiled not fried, served with carrots and with whole potatoes and not mashed and I dont need a gravy...yellow mustard is perfect. But it was a good meal. The Cottage Pie was pretty good..again, I prefer the classics so I would rather a Shepherd's Pie ( with seasoned ground lamb and not beer ), but it was still a nice comfort meal. The decor is cute..I miss the dim light and warm / dark woods and colors that you expect in an Irish pub. I met the owner on the first visit and she is very nice and I wish her great luck..but the kids who work there have very little passion or personality unfortunately. This really is a nice little place and I hope it succeeds..but it has a few up hill issues..first is its smack in the center of many already establishment great restaurants the other big one is this: 75% of people who live up here moved from Southern Westchester or the Bronx..what does that mean? ..it means we all grew up on Rorys!!! And that is what we are seeking up here. Anyway, nice little place for a comfort meal if you are tired of Good Chinese or Italian. Enjoy!
