Amazing staff! They are very accommodating and helpful. My friends and I have been coming here for many years.

This review is for Jordana (our host tonight, wearing glasses and pigtail braids). Even though Jordana was the host, she went above and beyond by also taking care of us as our waitress on a very busy night. It was our first time at McGlynns, and thanks to her, it was a wonderful experience. She was kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly. I even told her not to rush our orders since the pub was so packed, but she still managed to get everything out quickly and with a smile. My husband, son, and I all felt so welcomed, and when our extended family joined us, my in-laws were so impressed that they said they'd definitely come back. The food was spectacular! Their French onion soup is LEGENDARY! Jordana truly made the night special for us--she's the reason we'll be back too. The ambiance of this location is one for sports fans and hungry travelers alike. See you soon, McGlynns! read more

McGlynns Pub - Our son sitting at McGlynns - Pubs Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Prices going up- food and service going down. Ordered a roast beef sandwich ( why the server didn't tell me it was customer appreciation night and I could have gotten a complimentary one - I'll never know!). The sandwich came with a couple red onions on it and it was super dry roast beef. Never had roast beef with red onion! No cheese - no nothing on it. The server said they checked the order and said "l placed the order correctly- no idea what she is doing back there in the kitchen!" But yet never offered to correct the order! Although, was given a slice of cold cheese to put on my not so hot roast beef sandwich! McGlynns can definitely do better or can lower the prices since service and food not so good as it used to be. read more

Service and food were OK. It was real noisy, so not an environment for a quiet conversation.

The braised short rib. The texture is amazing and the flavor is good. However Im only giving it 3 stars because the heavy hand with the salt ruined it.​ read more

Fun atmosphere that hits the mark without trying too hard. Solid bar grub that's exactly what you want with a cold beer in your hand. Speaking of beer--served cold, fast, and right. The standout, though, was the service. Robert was on point all night: attentive, friendly, and genuinely dialed in. He kept things moving without hovering and made sure everyone felt taken care of. This is the kind of place you come back to because it's easy, comfortable, and consistently delivers a good time. read more

I have been there several times The food and service has always Been good Tom Winnington read more

We finally had dinner and the food and service were excellent. Everyone enjoyed their meal and a good selection of beers. We will definitely be back. read more

Great burgers, fun place. Comfort foods, daily specials. Tuesday is $5 off burgers. Don't forget to grab your popcorn.

Melissa was awesome! Had fresh popcorn, beef cheesesteak and potstickers. All food was hot and tasty!

I went on a weekday night with my little dog. We were seated on their big lovely patio. We had the farmhouse burger which had bacon and a sunny side up egg. Burger was yummy. The waitress was so nice to me and my dog. We had a great time. read more

McGlynns Pub - Gnocchi the corgi so happy with her dining experience - Pubs Near Me - Newark, Delaware

A local bar with pub food. Decent drinks, but skip the food. Not sure how this place is managed, but the busy bar tenders are also running food orders to tables leaving no one behind the bar serving drinks? Really?? Seemed like a ball of confusion for the poor employees. Could be a good local place to eat and drink with some proper management and new cooks. Good luck to ya. read more

Great atmosphere. Server was delightful and checked on us frequently for anything we need. Lunch menus were on point, all sandwiches, tacos were delicious. Highly recommended!! read more

My husband and I have been to McGlynns numerous times. Always had a good meal. Also have celebrated milestones at McGlynns with family and friends read more

service and food had always and still is excellant.prices are competitive . management is excellent read more

Literally the only thing this place needs to get better at is food.... Which should be the only thing they get right. I'm convinced their chef had Covid recently because their Beer Cheese Soup was so salty it would make an oyster pucker. Fries were cold (which I'm told is a regular problem). Everything else is sublime and wonderful. Here's hoping they figure it out. read more

Food was amazing Great service And don't even get me started on the outside bar. Two of the tables are fire pits and lots of outdoor seating. Definitely five starts can't wait to go back! read more

See all

McGlynn's is a mainstay in Delaware for delicious food, good drinks, and a fun atmosphere. Staff is always attentive and willing to help with recommendations. They have a great special every night (shout out to all you can eat shrimp Thursdays!). It's a go to for me and friends to meet at McGlynns to watch a game and drink some beers. 10/10 would always recommend. Bonus shout out for the great remodel work at the Pike Creek location! read more

Outstanding! I came for the Steelers Colts game last Thursday. My waitress took excellent care of me. I ordered the wings twice and she brought them out right away and also kept filling up my water. I also ordered the peppermint ice cream, which I believe is from Woodside Farms, and it was to die for. Oh failed to mention I was able to take advantage of the $5 off for appetizers deal, so my meal was quite economical. In my last review I mentioned I wanted to come back so that I can upgrade my rating from 4 starts to 5. Consider it done. MyGlynns is my spot. See you tomorrow and Let's Go Steelers! read more

Do not expect good service at the bar if you are a new customer. The bartender took my drink order then never came back to take a food order. I'm always amazed to see the lack of oversight these places have on employees. The other bartender had a mouth full of food when I told him I needed my check. Call John Taffer! read more

Great food, service, and atmosphe! I have been going there for like 30 years! I continue to go back every year.

McGlynn's is a local classic! I'm always greeted by the smell of the hot, freshly popped popcorn! Consistently Good food, great drinks, awesome happy hour, and just a place to see all the locals. The local "Cheers" atmosphere, you never meet a stranger here. You can always tell a great place when there's low turnover with the staff - the bartenders have been around for years! The onion soup is a regular for me and the turkey pretzel roll sandwich is delicious! They've recently remodeled the Pike Creek location and it's created a really cool, updated vibe, while maintaining the Irish pub look and feel. If you want a real treat, be sure to be at McGlynn's EARLY on St Patrick's Day or you won't get in! It's a Delaware tradition! Love McGlynn's and will be back over and over again! read more

This place is definitely for the local drunks. You can bet that on any given night, it'll be poppin' with the same demographic. There's always a nice gentleman or two right outside the double doors smoking a cigarette and hollering at the 20 somethings about a ride on the motorcycle (or them) that sits out front, all sad and lonely. Went in there one time and walked out immediately, have been avoiding this place like a plague ever since, but always a consistent interaction when trying to swing into dominoes. Yikes read more

Had a burger & it was cooked to perfection and really tender. We were in a party of 20 and we had 1 waitress who did an amazing job, minimal wait for a beverage.....and what more can we say about the free popcorn, it's the best! read more

Server (young girl) was very disinterested in her job. Total lack of personality. I ordered an Arnold Palmer (half iced tea and half lemonade) but I was served a John Daley, which is vodka added to above. So happy I'm not a recovering alcoholic. Fish and chips were very greasy. Chili looked like it was directly from a can. Too thick. And why doesn't your bar carry Proseco??!! Please remind your staff that their service depends on tips. I gave her 20% simply because times are tough. I live very close by but I will not be back any time soon. Very disappointed! read more

Inattentive server. Frozen appetizers dropped in a fryer. The pretzels were not good and were dry and overcooked. Loud crowd. Good View. Mediocre at best entrée. The Caesar salad was wilted and brown. Will not go back. read more

Food was average at best. Was over charged by $8 for my order according to online menu prices. Called in my order and somehow it was $50 for a $42 order according to the menu online. Won't be back read more

I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into this new location (to me) in Greenville, DE. The place was busy for lunch on a weekday but we were seated quickly and given menus. The service was wonderful and the menu selection had something for everyone for our group of three people. I had a burger and it was delicious. My co-workers had sandwiches and they enjoyed their meals as well. We will be back to this location for future lunch outings. read more

It is a great local Pub in a great local location. Great beer list and fantastic food choices. You will not be disappointed.

Good food, service and reasonable prices. Consistently good too. Great wings! I've been going here for almost 20 years now!

Had shoulder beef; dry cooked, 3 pieces of beef and 2 potato cubes; dried to the point of inedible Some sauce and a few green peas on top for $30 Water served in fake glass that never can wash clean What a ripoff; watch out read more

Let's keep helping our locals bars and restaurants not bcs ,..... they earning to be great place great job guys and don't give up guys ...try the wings , hot roast beef sandwich and mmmm burgers great every corner this great place ( try give your email they will keep you updates ) read more

Love McGlynns burgers are great. Don't get boneless wings they were so bad I shouldn't have paid for them. I'll go back maybe.

Made a Reuben it was really good the owner seems to be really nice I know White Glove Carpet Cleaning services keeps his carpet clean so they take very good p Care of the place everything is fresh read more

Service was awful. On a Sunday dinner they ran out of fries and wine. No management at all and completely understaffed. We sat down for dinner at 3 we didn't get out entrees till 5:15. Waiter had no clue what he was doing and no refills on drinks. There were missing sides and we didn't know until we were served the plates that there were no fries so we just got chips instead. read more

We have lived in the area for a couple years and just tried McGlynns for the first time. My husband got a burger and I got the crab cake. Both are really good and large portions. I look forward to returning. read more

Went from 5 stars to 1 star for us. Used to be weekly patrons and now something is missing from every single order and no one there seems to care??? Including the manager. Once was an awesome local spot but I would stay away for now. It's a shame that this has to be my first ever negative review on here but these reoccurring experiences must be shared. read more

This place is super nice. Atmosphere is dope and the service is amazing . Food is great.

I love McGlynns. We come almost weekly for one of their specials. Tonight we were here for burgers at five and almost immediately I could hear yelling from the bar. A woman, either a bartender or customer, was yelling profanities constantly and screaming at other patrons. I understand I'm at a bar but this kind of behavior is ridiculous at such an early time. Older couples and families come in to enjoy the nightly specials and don't want to listen to this kind of crap. A bartender or manager needs to step up and take control of situations like this or you're going to end up losing business. I can't say enough good things about the food and friendliness of the servers but this experience has really made me think twice about coming back. read more

This place really put me off. There were two men smoking outside and yelling at every woman who came in and out of the place. This was at 4:30pm. Needless to say, we only stayed for one beer and decided on food somewhere else. read more
