    Boxtys
    Emily A.

    The waitress was so nice and warm, you could tell she really cares for her regulars and also was equally warm to us, newbies she'd never seen. Service was outstanding. I love an Irish pub, this place had a back room with games and shuffle board, had inside and outside dining, outside looks out to charming Main Street of leesburg, We had boxtys only as we had a big later family meal, they had good flavor but could have been more hot all the way through. I'd 100% eat here again and I'd love to See it on a night where it's more hopping. We visited mid morning on a Friday afternoon.

    Traveled over from Orlando for a football game and stopped here after perusing the options in the area. The pub is nicely situated on Main St. in Leesburg, a quaint setting. The interior is about what you'd expect for an Irish pub, a bit dated and drab. Our service was amiable and proficient. I really enjoyed the Shepherd's Fries. The Guinness glaze really kicks the flavor up a notch and the thick-cut fries are hearty. The Boxtys were decent and my cocktail was enjoyable. Prices are fair. I'd definitely return in the future if I'm in the area.

    Our server, Justin, was really great. We got the shepherds fries (fries with beer cheese, shepherd's beef filling, balsamic, and a drizzle of sour cream. I think next time I would order extra sour cream and no balsamic. There was so much balsamic it pooled at the bottom of the plate. The fish lunch special was really good. Nicely prepared, large piece of solid fish, good tartar. We really wanted to try the shark bite, but they were out of cider so we had a Harp instead. The atmosphere was great!

    Have you tried the specials? I was over the moon when I saw scotch eggs were available for a few weeks. They are different from any I've had before but excellent. Served with mustard and bacon pepper jam, they are medium cooked eggs wrapped in sausage, rolled in panko crumbs and deep fried. Get them while they're still available. Another happy hour surprise was the extra 1/2 shot of Jamesons for a dollar. Hats off to our server for bringing it to my attention! Quiet in a Monday night. C'mon people. Let's keep this place hopping.

    We stopped here with friends after a walk. We chose to enjoy their outdoor patio area since the weather was lovely. Our server was very friendly and attentive to our group. We started with some drinks; I tried the threesome beer which had three different beers together and enjoyed it. I also tried their organic chocolate stout with peanut butter whiskey dropped in which was decadent and tasty. I ordered the pot roast dip sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. My bf ordered shepherd's pie. Several in our group got the whiskey burger and one got boneless wings. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I loved my pot roast sandwich; the meat was tender and flavorful on a toasted bun that soaked up the yummy au jus perfectly. The Mac and cheese was tasty and I tried the shepherd's pie also which was good. Our chatty group was fairly quiet during meal time because everyone was happily indulging in their food! Overall, this is a great spot with a cool atmosphere and delicious food. I'd definitely return!

    Run, don't walk here. The service was outstanding, the feel is of an old time Public House and the food sublime. We split a Corned Beef and Sour Kraut with Cole slaw. Nice balance, a great portion of meat and the bread was strong and flavorful. However, I saved the best for last. We also shared an order of the Shepard s Pie fries, extra crispy as well. We can say unequivocally that this is the best order of fries we have ever eaten. The fries are planks, but cut thinner and curved into scoops. The Shepard's Pie topping perfect from the meat to the peas. To go and not eat these is a sin against beer and food.

    We really enjoy McCrackens Pub. The waitstaff always make us feel welcome. The food and drink selection is fantastic, and the quality of the food never disappoints!

    Stopped in this gem, after driving through the city of Leesburg and looking at our choices. We are so glad we chose this place. The hostess seated us and said Tiffany would be our server, and almost immediately she appeared to take our drink orders, and explain a number of items on the menu. When drinks were brought, more explanation of items gave us the opportunity to pick two lunch options and off Tiffany went to get the kitchen working. Wasn't any time at lol and out came our lunch fish and chips, with one piece of good sized beer batter fish and interesting Irish fries. My choice was a smash 1/4 pounder on rye with cheese and onions along with fries and an extra side of coleslaw. All was fantastic and ample with my choice allowing my to take some home with me. Tiffany brought our bill and we had a great conversation and we thanked her profusely. The menu looked like there was other great options for us to try.

    This is a fun Irish tavern and restaurant in downtown Leesburg. My fish and chips were great. I liked the Parmesan fries too. My Wife enjoyed her French Onion soup and a salad. Our server was attentive and offered us a coupon for an appetizer. I get the impression, Leesburg is really trying to boost business in the downtown region. There are too many empty storefronts, which denotes financial troubles. But this oasis of niceness is a welcome surprise.

    I had the Onion Sage Chicken. It was delicious. We were there on a Sunday so ambience was quiet. We sat at the bar and had excellent service.

    Food is excellent and services is above expectations. BEST fish and chips around. Good pot roast as well. Ambiance for this place is true to a Irish restaurant

    We went to Claddagh Cottage while visiting Orlando and were not disappointed. We seated ourselves…read morenear the live band and were quickly given menus. Great selection of Irish beers, which we ordered a round of. When it was time to order, our only problem was that everything sounded good, so it was hard to choose. I ended up with the steak & mushroom pie and paid the up charge for Irish brown bread. The crust was flaky and delicious and there were huge chunks of beef in the pie. The Irish brown bread was very good and just like the brown bread I had daily when visiting Ireland. Others in my group got the Irish stew, the steak & ale pie, and the cottage pie, and there were no complaints. We then ordered the Guinness chocolate cake for dessert, which was so moist and tasty! Service was friendly and the pub is warm and cozy, but there is also outdoor seating, if that's your jam. I'd definitely go again when back in the area!

    The food just isn't very good…read more A full-on Irish pub-style restaurant. Lots of 'back home' bric-a-brac on the walls. More than a dozen different of our favorite beers on tap. A menu offering most of what an Irish or English pub offers. Musicians sitting in a circle playing Old English music. Are we back in Galway or Belfast, or Nottingham or Bristol? No. We're still in the US in a fake Irish pub with our favorite foods from Mum's home country on the menu prepared by a US chef. A chef whose ambition to recreate Old Blighty falls very short. The Scotch egg that wasn't. The sausage rolls that looked terrific with no flavor. The steak and mushroom pie that was heavy on gravy but missing the protein. Maybe the real Irish chef was off and we were served yesterday's stale offerings? Who knows? Beautiful set up. Poor execution.

Upon entrance it feels like a traditional bar, with a partial wall separating the bar from the restaurant area, which contained ample seating and plenty of TVs for those looking to catch a game. We came in on a quiet Friday night, ordered a couple of drinks at the bar, and chose our own table for our long overdue catchup session. The shepherd's pie quesadilla was a perfectly sized appetizer, served with gravy and sour cream on the side. My date ordered the traditional shepherd's pie and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was solid. Our server never disappeared for lengthy periods of time, nor did she show up too often, giving us plenty of time to catch up and converse without interruption. 5/5 Recommend as a local spot for casual drinks and/or dinner.

You can hit several fast food places that sell them for half the price. The kids menu is lacking. I think there are 2 items on it; either chicken tenders or Mac and cheese.

We only come here for Tuesday night trivia, but I won't eat here anymore. It's not worth the money.

We see that there are lots of tables taken and there were only two available tables: one right at the corner next to the window, tight space, with customers at the nearby tables, siting around 4-6 people OR a more "breathable" table, but sitting a whole party of around 10 people. My sister and I decided to sit there due to not wanting to feel cramped and awkward. Also, for anyone that has been there, it's a pretty small place with bad division, but it is what it is. That's the rental space available, I get it. That same female bartender then comes to us and makes a passive aggressive comment about how we picked the table with the most space and chairs. To which then I asked her "would you like for us to sit somewhere else?" and she replied" no, it's okay." Already didn't appreciate the passive aggressive attitude because a) she told us to sit ourselves and b) I asked her if she wanted us to move and she said no. She asked us what we wanted to drink and she brought us our waters. After that, the young, tan guy (the food runner/waiter) grabbed our orders and helped us out the rest of the evening. Time goes by, we get our food, everything is alright. And then, when we are finishing up our food, I hear that same female bartender from afar talking to our male runner saying "they pick the biggest table and now we need it" in a very annoyed manner - as if we are being a nuisance or inconvenience to her. Immediately, I'm pissed. Did I NOT ask this lady before if she wanted us to move? I spoke plain English. The male runner then comes to us asking if we could move tables. I'm pissed and tell him that we are just going to leave and to bring us a to-go box. I tell him about how I asked the female bartender if she wanted us to leave the table before we even ordered drinks and that I heard the comment she made to him and how I found it super disrespectful. He sincerely apologized and gave us a 10% discount for our trouble. I wanted nothing to do with her after that and when I was waiting for the gentleman to pick up my card to charge me, she came with the loveliest, fakest kindness "I can take that for you." I said, "no, I'll hand it to him." Unfortunately, I was so pissed that I didn't ask for either of their names. However, it was Sep 12 2026. So whoever worked the shift from around 5pm-6pm, it's those two individuals. I want to reiterate that the male runner was super helpful and attentive. I told him that he was great; he wasn't the problem. I'm going to advise the female bartender that passive aggressiveness is a bad habit to have culturally and that she won't always run into people that can handle it civilly the way my sister and I did. If she wants to be gangster with the comments she made to him, she can be gangster to my face. Especially since I asked her before if she wanted us to move and SHE said no. Now, to all my non-white folks, Debary has always had a certain... reputation... about how... certain people receive certain treatment. And even when I came in, I felt a certain... vibe - even from the female bartender herself. But I decided to give it a try either way because maybe it was just in my head. I'll say this, you probably will find it best to find somewhere else to dine. Which sucks because I've been dying to come dine here. And the food was actually pretty darn good, but it's not worth dealing with the passive aggressiveness and fakery she displayed.
