One of my favorites! I have devoured the shepherds pie, the chicken pot pie, the bangers and mash many times - yum, yum. Tonight, ordered the blackened salmon sliders for the first time - all time top 3 salmon!!! Perfect combination of great fish seasoned and cooked well with great coleslaw and scrumptious buns!!!! As usual, service and ambience make for enjoyable dining read more

The food is good. I had the shepherds pie. Huge portions. The wait staff is absolutely charming and very helpful. Karaoke was on the night I came in. Had tons of fun with my good friends. read more

McCarthy's Pub - Hurricane Breeze Band! - Irish Pub Near Me - Tequesta, Florida

Service was excellent!! My son has a shellfish allergy but loves fish and chips he often cannot have it unless they have a separate fryer they do not but the chef fried up new oil just for him! I have been to many high end restaurants that would never have offered or even cared about his allergy! Also the food was fantastic chicken pot pie was amazing presentation was on point! Everybody enjoyed their dinner would definitely go back!! read more

Manager was defensive, dismissed my experience, and relied solely on his own version of events. He also redirected the conversation toward comments made by an intoxicated guest rather than addressing staff conduct. He became defensive when I misunderstood him to be Irish, and proceeded to change the topic to what he identifies as - nationality wise. When I stated I would leave a review as I did not feel heard, he indicated he was fine with that and ended the conversation. Additionally, during a second call to where I wanted to inquire about speaking to higher management, I overheard a staff member respond with "Again??!!!" before answering, which reflects a concerning attitude toward customer feedback. Service in the upstairs billiards area was also slow, suggesting staffing issues. For a venue operating in a high-profile location associated with Hilton Hotels & Resorts, this level of customer handling is concerning. Situations involving patrons; particularly in nightlife settings, require professionalism, composure, and strong management oversight. The current approach risks negatively impacting guest experience and brand reputation. I hope this feedback is taken seriously at a management level and leads to improvements in staff training, complaint handling, and overall service standards. read more

The music of Hurricane Breeze is exceptional. Great choice by the owner Michael who is very personable & friendly. The food is excellent. We had the Dublin shrimp, pot of clams & tuna basil roll...all were excellent. The atmosphere is great & the service is wonderful. The staff are extremely friendly & welcoming. Will return. read more

We always enjoyed this restaurant but the other night we went and there was a table of 12 all playing Irish music which would have been fine but you couldn't even hear the person next to you and they never took intermission! The special was corned beef and cabbage, red salty meat ( real Irish corned beef is gray) four small potatoes,which were fine and TWO leaves of cabbage no carrots,parsnips or anything else. So sad and it used to be fun. My friend got the chicken pot pie , they were well known for and it had a whole chicken breast not even cut up. I hope the new owners take more interest in this place. A little music is nice 12 players not! Service read more

Ordered corned beef cabbage... saddest portions I've ever seen. It was more like deli meat and a few leaves. Service was fine, probably since the kitchen doesn't have much duty to make a decent plate. Atmosphere was nice, crowded since it was st patty's. Do better for food! read more

I have eaten here a couple times and always had a burger, however this last time I tried one of their Irish dishes. I ordered the Shepherd's pie which was nothing like any other Shepherd pie I have ever had. It was lacking flavor and ingredients; which were extra!? It's a nice looking place but not as Irish as I was hoping. read more

I find the service and consistency to be great. It's become my go to place. The minute you walk in you're greeted and pampered for the evening. The thing I wish they had were more seafood and vegetable varieties. I'd like to see specials change and not just rotate by the day of the week. Other than that I'm always recommending it to friends and all seem to have enjoyed it. As you look around the pub the decor and ambiance stands out. The close knit family values of both the McCarthy and Watson families are seen in everything you see from pictures to short Irish anecdotes. read more

We went to check out one of my favorite local bands Hurricane Breeze. Sat at the bar and Vicki wad our bartender she was awesome and the food was really good. And you get a lot for your money. Definitely will go back and hope to see more live music. I got the fish and chips subbed the chips for the mac n cheese and it was so good. My husband got the bangers and mash and loved it. We had to take some home because they gave us so much! Vicki and the staff were honest and told us what was the best to order since it was our first time. Thank you for a great dinner. read more

I love this place so much!! The food is amazing!! The service is amazing! The ambiance, the music, location. I love it all. I have eaten here about 4 or five times and I have always tried something new. EVERYTHING is delicious!! These meals are from family recipes and they are all so comforting. I've tried all the week-night specials and they come with dessert which has been a different thing each time but all delicious! My very favorite thing here is the scones they serve before the meal!!!! I think I'm addicted. Our server tonight was little Debbie and she made the night so enjoyable! What a pleasant person. I think she is a mind reader bc she brought us refills and answered our questions before we even asked. Very enjoyable night. Will definitely be coming back!!! read more

Food, service, and ambiance were spectacular! Best lamb chops we've ever had. Every server was super professional and pleasant--made our experience even better! read more

My friend is from Ireland and so she wanted to come here. We decided that going back home at the peak hour of 4 pm we would be in bad traffic. This was the perfect stop because they had happy hour from 4 to 7 pm. The bar was filled with people having a good time. We sat at a table and the waitress was from Dublin very personable and sweet. We ordered the onion soup and my first try of Guinness beer. Very tasty soup and the beer was full-bodied. About this restaurant Since 1975, the McCarthy name has been well known in the Jupiter/Tequesta community. Over the decades and throughout the culinary industry, the McCarthy family has created a legacy for themselves through owning many popular restaurants. Today, the family-owned entity McCarthy's Irish Pub and Restaurant is known for their traditional Shepherd's Pie, crispy fish and chips, and tender lamb, but the history behind the business is what makes them unique. Dating back to 1840, Arthur Watson, the father of Marilyn McCarthy, co-owner of McCarthy's Irish Pub, was the executive chef of the prestigious Cunard Line, the first British transatlantic steamship from England. Passing on his experience to his daughter, from 1975 to 2005, Marilyn, her husband, and her children ran three successful restaurants in Jupiter are until they decided to retire. In 2015, Marilyn's son, Brendon, was eager to bring back the family name and open a new McCarthy's Pub in Tequesta with an updated look and menu. Keeping it in the family, as tradition holds, Marilyn delved into her decorative abilities to design and decorate the restaurant, mixing a contemporary style with original pieces of décor from their past restaurants. Brendon took to his culinary abilities to shape the menu and drink selection that many locals enjoy. "It's not your typical pub it has good food and a friendly atmosphere. With entertainment on the weekend from local artists such as Carla Holbrook and Frankie Spellman, you are sure to find yourself singing along to classics ranging from Nora Jones to Stevie Nicks. As St. Patrick's day is coming up, each year McCarthy's holds an exciting celebration for locals to enjoy and relish in the Irish heritage. McCarthy's Pub is open Monday through Saturday for dinner from 4 pm to 9 pm and will be serving lunch throughout the Winter and Spring seasons from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm. If you are looking to satisfy your craving for Irish staples or enjoy a fresh brew, Brendon says it best, "There are no strangers here at the pub, only friends that haven't met . read more

love all the workers especially cathy, Luann, Barbara, Vicky, mike and frank great food too

First time dining at McCarthy's, the place was packed at 5:15 on a Tuesday. Ten minute wait for a table but found three seats at the bar. Our bartender was Amber who explained to us the most popular dishes. She recommended the chicken pot pie that two of us ordered. This dish is served with a pastry puff (almost as bid as my head) with a bowl of chicken and gravy with mashed potatoes, and peas and carrots on the side. The pastry is pulled apart with the chicken and gravy poured on top. The chicken was melt in your mouth tender. Not your traditional pot pie, but the best I've ever had. My other friend had then bangors and mash that was very good as well. Their in house bread was great as well. All the staff was super friendly. If you like reasonably priced comfort food with great service, McCarthy's is the place to go. read more

Great food. Our bartender Michael was great, and the ambience was nice. It matched what you'd expect in an Irish pub.

Love this place! Cozy Irish pub with delicious food. Chicken pot pie is off the charts. Delicious burger. Great service. Feels like your neighborhood place even if you're new. Mike at the bar is awesome. We love coming here. read more

Went there on St. Patrick's Day! Just drank but the place seems great and food going out looked delicious! Can't wait to go back and try the chicken pot pie! read more

After hearing so many good things we finally decided to try it. We visit Jupiter a couple/three times a year and eat out 3 times a day every day, and I hate to say this was the worst experience yet. Service was bad and food was worse. Maybe we got them on a bad night, but what a disappointment. read more

I've been here on and off the last couple of years. It's a local favorite. Great atmosphere. Really nice bar. We ordered the chicken pot pie and it's the definition of comfort food. Nice cool night in Florida with this amazing dish. PERFECT!!! Our server was attentive and on point. read more

Good food , great entertainment! We came as a group of 11 and loved the singer -- Barbara Ann! We'll be back

We really enjoyed the Shepard's Pie! And the chicken pot pie was delicious however we only gave it four starts as it could have included traditional vegetables like peas and carrots in the pot pie. Maybe it was due to the order being take out. Not sure... Nonetheless, it was really, really good!!! We loved the corned beef sliders! They were terrific. The portions are really big! And very filling! This place is definitely one of the top places on our list and for sure one of the best in the area! Very authentic! read more

This was my first time getting food from this pub. I wanted to get a good corned beef and cabbage meal. The reviews did not disappoint! The service was adequate for how slammed they were in St. Patrick's day. I had to wait 45 minutes for the take out order I placed at 3 pm for a 6 pm pick up time and I didn't get the sides that were supposed to come with the meal. I can't fault them entirely because of how busy and loud it was and communication is hindered with masks. I will definitely be back! read more

McCarthy's Pub - Corned Beef and Cabbage - Irish Pub Near Me - Tequesta, Florida

After a 2 years of not dining indoors, we and our friends couldn't wait to enjoy McCarthy's Pub food and ambiance. We were so disappointed. The food and service was excellent however the ambiance caused me to have a splitting headache. Now the rest of the story McCarthys eliminate a booth or 2 to put in a stage for singers and their amplifiers. The room is small and the singer and his instruments were overwhelming. We were in a booth with another couple whom we hadn't seen in awhile. We had to shout over the music and the other diners shouting to be heard. We finally ate our dinner in silence after we all got tired of shouting and saying WHAT. We will not be back read more

I think this is a perfect restaurant. I have tried just about everything on the menu: Beef Stroganoff, Shepherds Pie, Chicken Pot Pie, Hamburger & Escargot(perfect) Everything is absolutely delicious. But also the staff and bartenders are the best; so friendly and have been there for years. The look of the restaurant is wood with some photos of family members and past entertainers on the wall. They have live entertainment on an actual stage with a piano. The owner is just the nicest guy and he's there all the time; sometimes in the kitchen too. This is one of my fav restaurants. read more

Great atmosphere and people. All the staples you want and love. Generations of knowing how to do things right. If you want to keep local quality please support businesses exactly like this. read more

Positives great food, friendly staff. Dislikes: kitchen closes at 9 sharp. Hours unpredictable. Lacking the characteristics of great Irish pub. More of an early bird restaurant, however doesn't open until 4, so no lunch. Bizarre that the supermarket is still open and the pub next door is closed. Closing at 9 is too early. They could easily stay open later and even offer limited late night menu which would put this place on the "go to" map read more

We love McCarthy's but only go on Tuesday because it's Turkey dinner special. Yum yum turkey stuffing gravy, mashed potatoes, peas carrots and cranberry sauce. If you need another option get the chicken pot pie so filling. 5 stars read more

Beware when ordering via uber eats from this restaurant, they have pricing mistakes in the menu and ordering system. I called them prior to placing an order because it was doubling the cost of an item (10 chicken wings) from $12 to $24. The price on the Uber eats menu is $12 for this item see pics). When you try to add it to your cart it makes you select "10 wings" as an option/upgrade after you click it and then it double charges you in error. When I spoke to the staff (who spoke to a manager) they told me it wasn't their problem and that I should call Uber eats (which doesn't take calls lol). I explained it's a mistake from when they set their menu up (That's YOUR fault not mine so be responsible and fix it instead of ripping people off and refusing to help a long time customer). The wings and other food is great but I'm not paying double for their laziness and unwillingness to resolve the issue, so I'm explaining it again here and hopefully they see this message and follow up with Uber eats and me. read more

Atmosphere not very "Pub-ish" but what do you expect from a strip mall? Very good bangers and mash, chicken pot pie, and lamb lollipops. The "Shepard's" pie (made with ground beef) was tasty but would have better served with lamb. To be proper, it should be called Cottage Pie if you don't use lamb. Server was not very familiar with the menu. Did not know where fish was from for "fish and chips". By the way, it was frozen haddock. Did not try many menu items. Almost like the server was given a ticket book and hit the floor. She was nice though. I blame management. A restaurant here Jupiter 1 mile from the inlet - that doesn't offer fresh local fish - is not someplace I will come back to eat fish from. And why charge $17.00 for "Shepard's" pie that doesn't even contain lamb? read more

Came here, a local restaurant/bar on the recommendation of my neighbors. New location for McCarthy's, with an excellent outcome. This location had two other restaurants that did not do well. Both closed shortly after opening, but Mc Carthy's was packed on a Friday night and by the time we left, there was a crowd waiting outside, for a table. Our friend order the specialty, Shepard's Pie which was a huge portion and delicious. Her husband ordered the fish tacos, an appetizer, which was large enough for dinner, and also a delicious choice. My husband and I ordered hamburgers which were very good, large but not thick. The roll and accompanied potatoes, (I had the roasted red skin choice) were very good also. With reasonable prices, and good food, it's no wonder the place gets crowded! We will return to try some of the other menu items and their wide selection of beer. read more

Though McCarthys has been around for a while in our area we just started going there. Sorry we didn't go sooner. It's now one of our go to restaurants. Food is always great and so is the staff! read more

Stopped in here for a night cap. Place was recommended by a local resident. Expected a somewhat run down Irish joint but was pleasantly surprised to find a super clean modern establishment. There is a large bar area. Marybeth and Vickie poured some great drinks. We didn't eat there but the place had plenty of diners and the food looked and smelled good. Large amount of tables in the bar area. In addition, there is a ton of seating in the adjacent dining area. Defo having food there next time. read more

The restaurant has a wall that separates it from the pub so It is quieter and you can have a conversation at dinner. The wait staff was very helpful and prompt. Peter, our server was very good. We were there about 6:00 on a Saturday night and it was still happy hour so drinks were less. The scones are very good and are served instead of bread, a nice change. On member ordered Shepherd's pie and could only eat 1/2 of it. I ordered a summer special chicken francine. It came with a good salad and dessert. I brought the rice pudding home.The special was only 12.95. read more

What an outstanding restaurant! We go there once a week and we are never disappointed. Their famous homemade chicken pot pie features a towering puff pastry and your server will smash it down, scoop out the gravy and large pieces of white chicken breast and put this atop of the puff pastry. Their early /nightly offerings are $16.95 ( 4:45-6:00 p.m.) Monday-Saturday. You have your choice of three specials, which include your choice of soup or salad. Besides the entrée you have a choice of potato and vegetable! Also, the nightly dessert! The wait staff are exceptional. They go the extra distance to really make your dining experience wonderful. read more

Best chicken & dumplings in So Fl. Fir a nice change, try their Shepard pie. They have a full bar and a generous pour.

Tonight was my 4th time, and it is a great place. My son (5), my husband, and I love it! I enjoy the Lamb Chop lollipops. Just enough to fill you up, and don't forget the scones! My husband always told me about the original McCarthy's, so I'm glad they reopened. He says the Pot Pie is to die for, as is the Shepards Pie, although I still tell him it really should be made with Lamb not beef! Busy every time we go! Hope they will make it when the season is over!! read more
