    The bartender Joe was extremely helpful and friendly! He shared stories of the building with us as well as some of the highlights of the bar. He remembered peoples names and went out of his way to make our time there special! They have some good beer on draft!

    Corn beef sandwich. Fish n chips.

    Fun place! Corn beef sandwich was 5 star. Fish n chips good. Gravy and fries. Yummy! Waitress was great. Loved it. Ambiance was great. Yes on coming back.

    Cheers from Terry and Karen Robinson

    We love Molly's! We've been going there for years. Great service, great atmosphere, great live music on weekends. Our FAV. They have both indoor and outdoor seating available and if you're Irish you'll love the authentic memorabilia hanging on the walls from the owners grandfather's farm in Ireland. Highly recommend.

    We are so excited that our favorite Irish pub in Lakeland has started serving some food items again. With that being said they no longer allow smoking in the pub only on the deck out front which is great. We ordered the fish and chips. Taste wasn't bad however they are extremely greasy. Irish beers here are always The right choice. My husband and I both ordered a variety of Black and Tan beers with Bass, Harp, Killians along with Guinness on top. We were not disappointed. The reason for three stars has to do with being charged more to use a credit card than to pay cash and not being made aware until payment receipt was given. This is a bad business practice. This may be a new process since we had never observed this before when paying with credit cards. Credit card fees are the cost of running a successful business...try to be successful and maintain customers who want to keep coming back. May think twice before returning.

    Decent Irish pub. Unless you're a regular it's extremely difficult to get service from the bartenders.

    I'll be honest, we came here after endless Mimosa brunch across the street. We all only had one beer each but the beers were good and the bartenders were super nice and friendly! Prices are very reasonable as well. Nice little bar.

    The Irish band is best part. As you can imagine, not a stuck-up place. Bartenders are friendly and good prices. What more do we need?

I enjoy their red sangria (they have white as well, haven't tried it.) which is pretty delicious. They have a food truck every evening they are open generally from 3 until 8. We have tried a lot of them and most are very tasty. Our favorite so far was a Hawaiian lumpia (like spring rolls) food truck. They are very dog friendly. People not only bring their own fur kids but will take a dog out of the shelter for a few hours and bring them out. It's very heartwarming. Inside is clean. It's really chilly for us so if it's not raining we tend to go outside. There is frequent live music as well. You can find lineups on their Facebook page. Bartenders are very knowledgeable and nice!

We had stumbled across them when we were in town for a wedding back in November and they are the perfect spot to stop off and have a beer while you wait for the insane traffic to calm down on I-4. My husband got a barrel aged beer...something called Driving my nuts. It was rested in Buffalo trace bourbon barrels, and while the buffalo trace is not very pronounced, you still get the flavor, especially after it warmed a little bit. I opted for the Irish red ale, which was incredibly good had the super sweetness when you first take a sip, very caramel tones and notes, but then mellow is very quick.

We ate in the bar here which is the least pleasant location (large dining area and outside are quieter in both the "drunk golfer" department and loud TV or music. But endurable. Though Social Media said Saturday brunch today, we were not offered it despite being within its hours. We would've enjoyed having breakfast for lunch, etc. Parking in the full lots are difficult-and we don't see that many on the course or in the restaurant. The menu is inviting. Great fish options. I chose the Quiet Man but didn't like the sensation of toasted bun and cold roast beef either temp for everything would've been better. Liked that some options were half sandwiches at $11 rather than over-priced, over-edible super-sized sandwiches. Would love for them to re-work their coleslaw. We like the lower calorie option over fries and chips but don't care for "their" recipe. Didn't see nor hear about desserts. Great food but fall short in advertising/social media, brunch clarity, dessert options, parking, noise.

Believed to be a "Scratch Kitchen", this amazing find has a menu that I find myself excited about returning to try. We ordered a drink and an order of the Frescos Egg Rolls. The drink was spot on and the Egg Rolls amazing. We opted not to order a main course due to eating just a couple hours prior but I knew right then and there that I'd be back to try other selections from the menu. Pricing seems to be below average with "happy hour" pricing at specified times daily. Highly Recommended!

Appetizer of fried green tomatoes was marred by slices of tomato that were so thick that the knives on the table were incapable of cutting them. This same issue carried over to the green tomato blt, which was almost impossible to eat bc of bread that was also too thick. The bacon was so overcooked as to be dry sticks that shattered into tiny bits when you tried to eat the sandwich. The fries were allegedly hand cut, but looked & tasted like (cold) seasoned frozen steak fries. The FSKB chicken salad croissant was just a soggy mess. And the eggs Benedict featured "Canadian Bacon", which is a US marketing term for round slices of bacon, not Back Bacon or Peameal Bacon that is actually served in Canada. Overpriced & not worth a second try.

    Giving 2 stars because the service was good…read more.. It's been probably 10 years since I last went to Gators, which wasn't this location but I remember it being pretty good. I can't say the same for the food experience today. The mozzarella sticks tasted very plain and the marinara tasted like it was from one of those microwave frozen marinaras. It was just disgusting. I ordered the wings which the flavor was nice, but was semi-disappointed because I got 6 drums and 2 flats. Flats are better, but I just would assume I'd get at least 4 and 4. The fries were okay, not really very hot though. My wife got the chicken Philly with onion petals. She said the chicken Philly was okay and would probably get it again, but the onion petals were terrible. She said while they had a nice seasoning on the outside, more than half of them were still raw and crunchy (not from the batter), and luke warm to cold. The hostess was very friendly and loved our baby. The server, Benji, was great. He checked on us and refilled us without asking. He was friendly, but he'd make more at a place with higher quality food.

    Started off with the fried pickles and ranch--very addictive and a great way to begin the meal…read more I had the BLT sandwich. Overall, it was good, but I wasn't a fan of the gator sauce. I switched to mayonnaise, which made it much better for me. The fried pickles on the sandwich were a little unusual, but not bad. I had tater tots on the side, and they were solid. My wife ordered the mini burgers with fries--both were pretty good. For dessert, we tried the apple tart (dumpling) with vanilla ice cream and caramel. It was a nice finish to the meal and enjoyable overall. Brianna was our waitress and did an excellent job. She checked on us regularly and provided very good service throughout.
