What do you do when Instagram's Food_of_CT says Inishmore's corned beef is terrific, and the Wing Addicts put Inishmore on their CT Wing Trail. My Foodie Twin Jen H just stopped reading because she already knows. You Double Down! You order both!
Inishmore is an Irish Pub with very good food. An underserved CT restaurant type in my book. The atmosphere was not fancy, but right on for a pub. Service was first rate.
Inishmore's Reuben was one of the best I've had in CT, and the corned beef itself, was the best I've had on a Reuben by far. The corned beef was so lean, tender and balanced flavor-wise. The bread was a light and dark marble rye. Very fresh and high quality. A sign indicated that they source their bread from Harpo's. I assume that's the South Glastonbury Harpo's, who I know to make good bread. The bread had grill marks and was not greasy. So they must have used something like a panini press, or a ridged grill pan and a cast iron grill press. The kraut was good. The one thing that didn't pop for me was the Thousand Island dressing. Perhaps that's because they were concerned about having too much moisture during the grilling. Next time, I would probably get some on the side too.
The sweet jalapeño wings were very good. The sauce was sweet and a bit spicy, and had actual softened jalapeño pieces. Very tasty and different. The wings were meaty and had very good texture. I see why the Wing Addicts are fans.
My son and I also shared some chips (as in the chips of Fish and Chips) and curry sauce. I liked the curry sauce. The chips were like thick potato wedges. This wasn't my favorite Chip style, but it was fine.
I highly recommend The Inishmore. I will be back, even though I live 30 minutes away.
