Crispy battered cod on a soft toasted bun with fresh veggies just before a flight is just what the doctor ordered. Monique was very attentive and pleasing. Food came out quick and fries were crispy on the outside moist on the inside the tartar sauce was definitely a banger worth bragging about. Felt like bar maybe because it is a bar but with good bar food. read more

Rooney's Public House - Battered Cod - Irish Pub Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

First off, PBI is a third class airport. So few amenities. The WiFi is terrible below the third floor, and one has to log in through Facebook, which is tortuous. The staff at Rooney is great. Their hamburger is not. One can't order it with any pink; has to be medium - I didn't ask why because what difference would it make. One of the worst burgers I've had. It needed some McDonald's sauce to enhance the flavor. The fries are good. The tomato slice, as in most places, tasted as if it was picked at the very beginning of its puberty. They have corned beef, turkey sandwiches. Short but decent list of beers and IPAs. Nothing terribly crafty, but it's not meant to be that kind of place. read more

I am not happy to have confirmed that Rooney's is not open until midnight despite it's listing. When late night traveling, sometimes food desperation can set in, but this establishment does not offer that solace for those in need. In daylight hours, it looks like a fine burger and beers locale. read more

The fish and chips are awful. The onion rings are so greasy just terrible food. Everything we had was awful. read more

Meh. Ate here before a flight. Had a hankering for a rueben w a Guinness beer. I changed out the fries for onion rings. The server stopped several times to check on me. The food was decent and hot. The beer was overpriced airport but predictably good. The atmosphere what a hybrid of airport hurry and Irish over dark cliche wood. Is ok but not a must have place. read more

I love pubs and one in an airport is even better. The service was great even though they were slammed and I loved their burger and onion rings. Great selection of drinks! I just think the booths should be updated a little because they weren't very comfy. The ambiance of the place? Eehhh not exactly a pub feel per say but that's hard to do in the middle of an airport. I think pubs should be loud and crazy but that's just me. Good place, good service, good food. Thumbs up. read more

Rooney's Public House - Rooney burger - Irish Pub Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

Rooney's is actually located inside Palm Beach international Airport. I don't know if the Rooney family personally takes pride in this establishment like they do to their football team, the Steelers. But, this is just a so so venue. In my 15 years coming to Southern Fla, I always hoped they would improve the quality of food, not the case. I ordered an Irish Grilled Cheese sandwich w/bacon. It tasted ok, but I could make a heftier sandwich at home for one quarter the price. And two minuscule slices of pickles. The Guinness Stout was excellent as always and Nancy, my 'bartender, knew how to pour it. In fact she was the only positive in this restaurant. You might say to yourself why frequent this place? I know the Rooney family is caring, but just hasn't carried over to this place. read more

This is the biggest P.O.S. I have ever visited!!!!!! STAY AWAYYYYY!!!! Every single person working here has two speeds...1. Slow and 2. I don't give a damn. We were ignored for a while. When we were "served" I asked for a Black and Blue. For you non beer drinkers, that is a blue moon layered with Guinness. I expected my "bartender" to be able navigate that. She stared back at me with a deer in the headlights look. I explained how to make the drink and guess what???? An Irish bar is out of Guinness. Did she offer to change the keg???? Bwahahaha....that would be a big no. So, we ordered 2 beers and 2 fish and chips. After never checking on us....with an empty glass for 20 minutes, we finally asked where our fish and chips were....it had been an hour!!!! Guess what we got to see again???? Deer in the headlights look us back. No apologies, no nothing. She's going to check. Uhhhh, it's been an hour. I get it, you forgot! Maybe you would not have forgotten, had you come over to us, just once. NEVER, EVER AGAIN. Sorry Rooney Family. We went to Sam Sneads and had great service. Oh and Steelers suck too now. read more

Well, where to start. First, service is lousy. Stephanie (our server) is an older lady with zero personality. It makes me sad really. Then I get my Guinness served in a Goose Island glass. Not sure how many Irish pubs would do such a thing. Food was not very good. I ordered the Cod Sandwich which was overcooked and very small. I had to send the first one back. Wish this would be a pub that's more authentic. We were very disappointed. read more

What an awful meal. Now I know why the one in Abacoa is no more. i ordered the cod sandwich And got a huge burnt ciabata roll and a tiny piece of cod. I ended up cutting the sandwich in half and only use half of the bread to compensate for the tiny piece of very hard, dry and poorly cooked cod. I am Including a picture. Clearly this place has no quality control and all of the staff looks miserable and too busy texting to pay attention to quality or customers. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Horrible service and food remains questionable. Waitress almost cuased me to miss my flight. DO NOT LEAVE ON A BREAK WHEN THERE IS NOBODY TO COVER YOUR CUSTOMERS!!!! Horribly ran establishment. Food discusting. I do nor recommend. read more

Have you ever had a meal that left the kind of taste in your mouth that made you stop somewhere afterwards to get something to change the taste? Yup - that was my experience. I took a table in the corner to get some work done while I was eating and a waitress who (I'm guessing) showed up early for her shift came in and sat behind me while finishing her long phone call. That changed the atmosphere a bit. I had one of the house seafood specialties so I shudder to think what the non-specialties taste like. I really should have read other reviews before choosing a restaurant in the airport. read more

There is nowhere else decent to eat inside palm beach airport. Stop and eat before going through security unless you want packages sandwiches! My grilled chicken brioche was tasty, hot and delivered quickly. The salad was fresh and the waitress pleasant. It was with coming out of the terminal and going through security again read more

When you can be in the airport and also be at a food Irish pub , aren't you really closer to heaven? This is hands down the best place to dine inside the airport. There is a little tile work going on this particular week in front of this venue , but do not let that distract you. The fish and chips will serve as apology enough for the disheveled entrance . All that is missing is an actual keili and traditional Irish bar songs. But, otherwise, it is genuine. read more

Rooney's Public House - Irish Pub Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

Rooney's has an okay beer list, wine selection and multiple TVs. If you have some time to kill before your flight, it's not too shabby of an option. I really didn't have much time to kill but I received a tip that Goose Island IPA would be on tap at the time of my travels. I took a seat at the bar and tried to use this time to sip on my beer and catch up on my email. My battery was dying and quickly but luckily the bartender was able to hook me up (literally) into an outlet on her side of the bar. I thought I would need to move to a wall, but that was not needed to get my charge on. For my quick time at Rooney's I had a pretty decent experience. If I had more time I would like to try the wings. read more

Who is managing this place? I used to love the food here but I will not be back. Fish and chips was seasoned with Soy sauce. Service was terrible. waitress Precious never checked in on my, was more concerned about talking to the bartender, who was busy eating food behind the bar. Disgusting. If I could rate this place a zero I would! Ironically, about 6 years ago, I had a really goo meal of Fish and Chips here and was hoping for a repeat. Never again! read more

Wish there were a way to do no stars. Service was non-existent, we had to go ask for service from the two kibitzing at the host station. Then when our burger arrived, the meat patty was so clearly frozen and without any flavor we gave up after 2 bites. Onion rings were hot. read more

We stopped at Rooney's since it was on our way to the B gates & didn't want to eat at Burger King on the other side. Host took us to a table - over the next 10 minutes the host and the server (Stephanie) came by several times and said she would right with us. Well right with us dragged on with the taking of another order, delivering a bill, delivering food .... After Stephanie finally showed up to take our order we gave it quickly. Didn't see her again for 10 minutes. When we finally we asked for a refill on the ice tea. And then since almost 40 minutes have passed the bill so that we could get our departing flight. When the bill came it included and extra fee for the cheese to be on the side and $3.19 for each ice tea ( i guess no free refills). Bottom line don't stop here if you have a flight to catch - and avoid the extremely poor service. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g34731-d12029983-r586983914-Rooney_s_Public_House-West_Palm_Beach_Florida.html# read more

Comfortable, even knowing TSA hospitality awaits you. Service friendly, and quick! Nothing special on the menu and the malt vinegar beg for decent fries or chips, sorry you not getting them here. Share a ruben pick a few spuds then off to the TSA for the real date. Don't worry Sammy Adams has suds bar on the other side of your physical exam read more

Decent beer selection. Ruben was acceptable portion size small. Service was quick. They play '50's music though, looks like an irish bar but it ends there... read more

Stopped by here to get some food while my husband and I waited for our flight since it was delayed. We were seated quickly since it wasn't packed at all. Once we were seated our waitress greeted us but definitely didn't seem like she wanted to be there. I got a burger and my husband got a grilled cheese which were okay at best, nothing I couldn't make at home. *The main issue: Once we were back home and settled, our credit card company flagged activity in Florida after we had already left. This is the only place that we used our credit card in Florida and therefore it's more than likely that our credit card number was stolen at this establishment. Obviously don't know 100%, but what a coincidence don't you think? Anyway, be careful when you pay. May want to pay with cash on this one. read more

Nasty. Just nasty. Wait till you get where you're going. Everything very obviously from Cisco. Soup left a peculiar aftertaste as mentioned by someone else. I'm afraid the salad may be giving me dysentery as I write this. I hope this mean doesn't "kick in" on the plane. The half sandwich was flavorless. I will say the waitress was very nice. Apparently named after Art Rooney. (The bar. Not the waitress). You can do better. I'm surprised at the overall crappy food choices at PBI. read more

I'm surprised that this place has been in the airport for so long. The service staff could be grandparents or great grandparents to all the customers. There is no urgency to their service and they trudge around the restaurant looking sullen. I had the pleasure of sitting "outside" at a table where I was front and center to watching and listening to a manager berate a staff member on a minor mistake that hardly warranted the stern talking down to. Wise words for the restaurant industry: council in private and praise in public. The manager seemed to not care at all about having this conversation no more than five feet from me - I was shocked. The food is also nothing to be desired as well as extremely overpriced. Granted all airport food is a bit more costly, for a nearly $15 breakfast I expect more than a breakfast sandwich on a hamburger bun. read more

If you have a flight to catch in the next 4 hours don't eat here. Food okay but very slow. Server "Jason" was in way to big of hurry to be of any help. You'd be better off at Burger King. read more

Just left Rooney's pub in the West Palm Beach airport and what a disappointment. Last year I had their chicken wings and they were fantastic. I just ordered them and told the waitress I wanted them extra crispy. They were barely cooked and so mushy they were inedible. Service was also poor. read more

This is the only restaurant at PBI that I could find. It's outside of security, so after I went through security and only found Burger King, I went back. The food was ok. I got the soup, salad, sandwich combo. For $12 a good amount of food. The soup, clam chowder, was pretty good. The salad was a house salad, with field greens but had pecans and bacon thrown on it, kind of weird instead of shredded carrots, cucumbers, onions, etc, but it was ok. The sandwich was filling and pretty good. The service was terrible. It was slow, inattentive and lack luster, like they had to be there instead of wanted to be. There was an older lady with blonde hair who tried to turn to ignore customers and had a scowl on her face the entire time I ate. She looked miserable. Gave customers short answers and needs to be fired. She was so grouchy she would make me not want to go back. This is hospitality; give her a pineapple and her last check and improve your customer ratings and probably sales! read more

Fair food at a fair price. Eurpean pub fare with a mix of American. Beer is cold and the waitstaff was friendly enough. Had a little extra time before a flight and food was delivered quickly after the order. read more

Chicken wings and homemade chips were good as was our server. However, the corned beef in the Reuben was so tough that I thought there were bones in it. I'm not even sure how one would go about making corned beef, not just tough, but HARD. This bespeaks a kitchen staff who has raised their contempt of their clientele to an art form. read more

Had extra time to kill waiting for family to arrive. This is in the airport beginning of terminal b. Phone number through yelp connects to different location. Their irish red is decent. Reuben is solid. Agree with other review- fish and chips is where it's at. Lightly breaded and tasty. Will give this place 3 1/2 stars. read more

Just awful. The service was terrible. We had to go find out waitress to place our order. Food came out quickly, but it was not good. Burgers were dry and tasteless. The Celtic cheese appetizer was a joke for $11. Bread was awful. Then we had to go to the bar to get our check. It wasn't correct and they couldn't even tell me what the extra charge was for. Then the bartender needed to walk out into the terminal to find a manger to remove the charge. Do not waste your time or money on this place. read more

I've been here a couple of times and it has always been good, well above the average airport food. We went yesterday (3/21) and was really disappointed. We both had burgers, we were told the only choice was "medium well". I paid the extra $1..25 to have swiss cheese. The food came after a long wait overcooked and lukewarm. My burger had something yellow on it which was billed as "cheddar". The waitress was stressed and surly. I hope it can improve back to it's original status.. read more
