My husband and I had to try this because we heard raving reviews from family. For a starter we got chorizo cheese fries....OMG ....it was so delicious. My husband got the fish sandwich and wasn't a big fan of it. Said it was okay but extremely messy. I had to try the chicken sandwich and at first sight it was extremely big. And I added grilled jalapeños. This sandwich is probably my favorite sandwich. I also got a side of their aoli spicy sauce. It was amazing with the sandwich and for fries. My husband and I will be going back here. read more

I feel rude for giving it such a low rating but anything higher would be misleading. We went in on a Sunday night dinner rush so I knew it was going to be packed, I expected to have a wait time. The only thing that was quick was being seated. We had a table of 6, no beer/specialty drink orders and our waters and drinks still took over 30 minutes to make it back to us after being ordered. The service was slow. We knew to place our order right away because they wouldn't be back for another 45minutes. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer and that was a hit. Our entrees however we're kind of disappointing. Salad was old and wilted. We were expecting some baked gourmet Mac and cheese and it was almost like soupy Kraft mac n cheese with a hint of garlic. The roasted chicken had green salsa that you buy from Safeway all over it and frozen veggies. The spicy chicken was the only good entree that we ordered. Lesson learned. Stick to the pub food and don't venture out. Calamari, Whisky Burger, Wings and fries. The bar was packed, I think once I'm not pregnant I can go back and stick to the drinks. This place definitely has potential but needs to work out their kinks. Slow Service and okay food. read more

Delicious food. Great service. Loved the ambiance. Totally recommend for anyone to go.

I'm giving three stars because I know they're new and have hope, but we had a less than great first impression. The ambiance was great, the staff was learning (took a long time, after every drink ordered waiter came back to ask clarifying questions 5 min later, then 20 min more for drinks), but the biggest disappointment was the food. The portions to price were insane. I ordered the "pot pie", which is described as a pastry with potatoes, corn and veggies... so in my mind I was thinking Sheppard's pie or chicken pot pie... I got ONE empanada, maybe 1/4 filed, the rest was edge that tasted like cardboard... inside was 90% potato's... it was $16 (see pic)- I've paid 1.50 for an empanada that was at least full and at least had meat or flavor (see pic). Even if we were to leave the terrible "pot pie" aka 1/9 filled empanada out of it- the sides were all garnish. Those that ordered burgers were the same size as the kids, but had two Patties. I think this place can turn it around, but at their price points, need to serve real food. We all admitted after our $350 meal, we ate more when we got home. We'll be back, but will only pay for $9 Coors lights for a game and sit at the bar.... read more

Pop's Public House - New American Near Me - Gilroy, California

What a wonderful experience our first visit here recently. This is so upbeat and took off with great success of attendance. Hostesses were accommodating, servers were conscientious. Food was delicious and plenteous. We each had a salad - the croutons alone were like mini pastries (sounds odd but taste was outstanding). Blackened chicken sandwich special was the best most filling sandwich of all time. They should slot it as a regular. Will definitely return and have already been recommending. read more

Food looks as good as the photos. The chorizo cornbread with honey has a unique and appealing flavor. The fish is breaded perfectly and flakes the way it should. The garlic fries use real garlic from a local farm and even the tartar sauce is homemade. Could argue it is a touch on the pricey side, but the quality is excellent enough to overshadow that. read more

My wife and I went to Pop's for dinner last night and had a wonderful experience. The hostess and our server were friendly, attentive and helpful! Our dinner looked and tasted great and the potato soup was one of the best soups I've tasted! Based on our experience, we will definitely come back again! read more

Very busy, great cocktails, the food just average. Had the shepherds pie, and it was good, but the teriyaki salmon bowl had bone dry salmon over a big bowl of rice, few vegetables and maybe a spoonful of teriyaki sauce. Burgers are big, and the onion rings may squirt you with grease when you bite in. Everybody seems to like this place, but the outdoor warmers don't work, don't even have propane tanks in them (tried to light it because nobody came to help) service was good, but a bit slow read more

Came in for lunch, had to try the whiskey bbq burger! It was good! Very large with 2 patties. But let me back up, started with a Bloody Mary. It was alright, nothing to write home about. My wife had the red sangria she enjoyed it. She also had the chicken sandwich and liked it. We will be back! read more

We went last night and it was great! The service and food was both wonderful. We got the fries, potato soup, chicken, and steak, tacos, and the wedge salad. All the ingredients were super fresh. They've only been open a week and they've already seemingly got a smooth operation running. Everyone was friendly and we will def be back! read more

Pop's Public House - Fries on app list - New American Near Me - Gilroy, California

This used to me my #1 favorite food for lunch and dinner! Their steak was the absolute best! Sadly, the last couple of months the quality has gone down. The veggies are also not good, they're always dry and flavorless. Their burgers though, are still some of the best I've ever had with huge portions for a good price and their drinks are sooo good! Wish the steak quality and their chimichurri was back read more

Didn't have the full experience by sitting down and eating there. Just picked up. But food was awesome. Good flavor. Good portions. Got two burgers. Yes I know it's hard to mess up a burger. So this review isn't any thing special. But I would definitely go back to try other food. read more

Wife and I had a great meal at Pops! We had the Shepards pie, pork pozole, and the fish and chips. The food was really good! Everything we had was full of flavor and cooked perfectly, nothing was over or undercooked. The service was really good too, very attentive staff, the place is really clean. 10/10 we'll be coming back and telling friends! read more

The service was really good. Helpful with making recommendations and his recommendations did not disappoint! The spicy J burger was juicy and full of flavor! The sweet potato fries were super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and the salad was really good too. The burger was so large I took home half for dinner. read more

The chicken might've been a little too fried for my liking but the marinara was very flavorful. It was a huge portion for one person so you definitely get your moneys worth. Service was great we got seated after a 25 min wait they had forgotten to give us our breads but the manager went back and brought it out for us! Restaurant was busy but wait time wasn't too bad. read more

Pop's Public House - chicken parmesan w spaghetti - New American Near Me - Gilroy, California

Went here recently for the first time. We went to the restaurant before at the same location and decided to give this restaurant a try. The place is brighter and remodeled well. We were first greeted and welcome by the hostess and brought to our table. No wait and fair amount of patrons inside. Waiter greeted us promptly and was polite throughout our time there. And was checking on us from to time if we needed else and refills. The food was good. Ordered the fish and vegetables. A bit overcooked for the fish but overall the presentation was great. Plenty of parking. Yes, would come back to there. Great addition to the city of Gilroy. read more

Was craving a taco salad so ordered the steak taco salad. Received a salad with a hamburger patty cut in four if I would have known I would have ordered a burger instead. Service and drinks were good. Will go back for the drinks but not for food. read more

My first time stopping by, I came for our friend's birthday dinner. This is a MUST-try restaurant! The food is delicious, especially their burgers! They give you big portions! I eat a lot, and the burger alone filled me up. They're definitely known for their burgers since mostly everyone in the restaurant ordered burgers. Our waiter was very nice and friendly. He was very attentive, and we got our food within 20 mins, which wasn't bad since they were busy! The lighting in the restaurant is perfect. They have a pool table and games to play with friends! A bar is you're just trying to grab a drink. Overall, I had a great experience! I will be going back to try their pasta! read more

No pictures, we all inhaled our food. Service was fantastic, waitress was handling the whole room with ease, gave wonderful recommendations. The ambiance was great, nice music and wasn't too loud so you can't have nice conversations. I had the Taco appetizer with shrimp, they were wonderful and huge, 3 per taco. Whisky BBQ burger with garlic fries was 5 stars, and the CA burger with garlic Looking forward to making a weekend breakfast or evening dinner visit to try the other menu items. Must try!!!!! read more

Pop's Public House - Churro dessert - New American Near Me - Gilroy, California

I loved this place, food is great and drinks are even better. I brought my family and friends often. However, every time I come here alone and sit at the bar I am ignored and left with one drink for over an hour. Bartender serves me and then leaves, while the other bartender ignores me and helps everyone else at the bar. I usually shrug it off. This last time I came in I sat at the bar and got a drink immediately. That was it, never saw her again. Watched several people come and go for the next hour and forty five minutes. 3 bartenders and not one acknowledged me. Finally one asked if I wanted anything, I asked for the check and they couldn't even find me in the system! I told her that I had been there for quite some time did none of you see me? She responded "oh thought someone closed you out, you're not in the system so you can just leave" I don't care about a free drink.. just wanted to have a couple drinks after a long day at work. Will not be coming back and will stop recommending. read more

We are so happy to have a new, really great restaurant in Gilroy!! We've been twice already in one weekend. For being brand new, the staff seems to have gotten extremely thorough training and everyone is in a happy and uplifting mood despite being slammed! (Which is a great thing!) Entrees come with a soup and a salad, and each entree and appetizer has a generous serving! The owners are very hands-on, walking around all night to make sure everyone is doing well. The bar menu is insane! There's truly a drink for everyone's taste. The only photo I got was of my drink, the Ronni. The ambiance is awesome! The restaurant is family friendly, date friendly, and night out friendly all in one. read more

The food ratio was off. I got 2 small sunny side eggs with a lot of chorizo. It was delicious but I think one more egg would have been good. The mimosas were pretty good with different types of juice. read more

The garlic burger was massive. It didn't taste as much as garlic as he might've helped, but I definitely felt the garlic sweats later.

We didn't really know the area that well and decided to look to see what was around town with good reviews. Pop's did not disappoint at all! Great environment-clean, inviting, plenty of seating, clean bathrooms*this is important too, scrumptious food, and great service. Highly recommend! read more

Pop's Public House - Pop's Pub burger and the Corned Beef Reuben - New American Near Me - Gilroy, California

We wanted to try a new spot in Gilroy and found this gem on yelp. Loved the ambiance, food and service. Portions are huge which we love! Their cocktails were delicious too! You need to try this place. read more

Staff is very friendly and food is amazing! They have the best burgers and sweet potato fries.

Pop's took the place of the only Irish bar Gilroy. We wanted to try something new and we were pleasantly surprised. The service was friendly and welcoming. The place has multiple big screens to watch games on. Needed this in Gilroy. Gaming areas included pool and shuffle board. Place will be lit when local teams are in the playoffs. Now to the food. The menu has the usual suspects. However, the corn beef burrito is so creative. It was really good. The fish and chips were an 8 out of 10. The only reason is I grew up H Salt Fish and Chips and they are hard to beat. It was also nice that a salad came with the entree. We will definitely go back and it's definitely worth a try. read more

You guys, this place is so great! My husband and I have been there together and I've even been alone and sat at the bar. Both times the food and service were great! The fried pickles are delicious and the fact that you get a side salad and soup with your entree is huge! Not to mention the dressing on the salad is delightful and that soup is as well!! We've had the fried pickles, chicken, steak and the chicken sandwich. The chicken has not disappointed! It is important to know that they are still very busy which means there can be slight wait times and that the restaurant can have loud moments but that has not changed our experience once! I'm so happy for Mike and his family and look forward to seeing the place succeed. read more

Pop's Public House - Non-Alcoholic Beer "Cerveza Athletica" and one of their whiskey speciality cocktails - New American Near Me - Gilroy, California

Let me first say that our server, Taylor, was fantastic. She was attentive, friendly, and so helpful. My complaint lies with my order. I am Vegan and ordered the vegan veggie wrap. For an extra fee, I added avocado. When the wrap arrived, the avocado was on the side. Appeared to me as if the wrap had been made in advance and was ice cold. Not sure how I was supposed to add the avocado to an already tightly wrapped wrap. But my biggest issue was with the dinner salad included with my meal. When I see (vegan) next to an entree, I relax and feel I can just order without any questions or substitutions needed. Unfortunately, the salad arrived completely sprinkled with shredded cheese. This is distressing to me, as my reason for my diet is to minimize my involvement in the meat, dairy, and egg industries. I could have sent it back, but the cheese couldn't be saved for someone else. Instead, I ate around it. Please, if someone orders Vegan, think of their whole experience. read more

We were looking for a new place in Gilroy to try out and Pop's didn't disappoint. Great service, large beer selection and full bar.

All I can say is wow! My kids and I had dinner there when they first opened, and while it was clear that they were understaffed, probably due to being a brand new place, once we were finally able to get seated and get our food everything went smoothly and it was absolutely incredible. The food and drinks were amazing, we shared everything, and have been back since with much better service now that they have been open a while. We love this place and will keep going back! read more
