Mc Gilverys Pub & Eatery

Bar Irish pub

😠 Literally the worst bar I have ever been to. If you are a newcomer DO NOT GO! I felt singled out and very uncomfortable by the regulars and the staff. The first time I went there will definitely be the last. I do not respect this establishment at ALL. People often mention friendly, service, good, Irish, great, staff,

    Definitely a friendly place that gives off a whole lot of welcome vibes. Everyone there was friendly and the bartender "D.B." (if I remember right) was absolutely amazing. He was a one man wrecking crew. He was taking orders at tables, bartending, and bussing afterwards. Guy never missed a beat and never let us have an empty glass even though there were a decent amount of people in there. Food was excellent. Fried pickles, Breaded Mushrooms to die for, and wings in mild sauce all were excellent and did not disappoint. If we lived closer, I would absolutely be a frequent flyer at this establishment. Btw - give D.B. a raise!!

    Bad service and awful food. The server payed very little attention on us and much more on her munchies. I had to almost beg to place a carry out order. My fish was dry and hard and the side cold. Very disappointing experience.

    My family & I really wanted some Irish pub food. Stopped here. Big mistake!! The place was dark & dirty. It was dinner time on a Saturday night & we where the only ones there. (Yes that should've told us everything we needed to know) we sat down. The waiter was nice, but said that he was the waiter, cook, & bar server at the moment. We started off ordering the Poutine because it sounded interesting & good. I looked up pictures of it & it looked like something we would all like. In the meantime of that being cooked we tried to order several Irish meals, just to be told they were OUT!! Out of everything! Tried to order Dublin Coddle ...nope...then....nope...Irish Bake, ...nope....shepherds pie, ...nope..corn beef & cabbage ....nope...just to be told every time that they where out! Out! Out! COME ON!?!? How can you seriously be considered being any kind of "Irish food" establishment if you don't have any Irish food!? WTH! Then he said he would give us a few more minutes to think because every option that we tried was out and walked back to the kitchen get our appetizer and brought it back. See the picture… That is what he brought back!!🤢. I asked where are the cheese curds on top? He said oh they melted, I said how did they melt when they are breaded? He said "ummmmm..... I don't know..." Wow! to be completely honest it looked like he had just taken balls of mozzarella , squished & balled them together and put them on top the fries, then poured hot gravy over them causing them to melt. He said I can remake them for you if you would like, I said yes please do that, he said but it's going to be a while because we are out of cheese curds and my manager went to the store to get them. Wow!! I was sooo right!There was never any cheese curds! yeah needless to say my family and I said OK we are gone. And packed up and left. This was a sad sad sad place to call an Irish pub or restaurant!! Avoid this place unless you just want beer & potato skins or French fries. Seems to be the only thing they keep on hand on a regular basis.

    McGilvery's has AMAZING food. Great atmosphere and the rest of this place was VERY clean and well kept. Our waitress was Casey and she was friendly, professional, courteous and prompt. Would recommend this place to anyone who asks!

    I really like this place! The well mannered staff were not only quite friendly and very helpful without being pushy, but the prices seemed reasonable given the fine quality of the dishes we were served and the comfortable atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable.

    We ordered 10 Teriyaki wings and 10 Sweet Thai Chili wings. They were ready for us to pick up in 20 minutes and they were excellent. I highly recommend trying their wings. We also noticed an outdoor patio area and I asked if we could bring our small dog and they said we could so we'll do that in the future.

    For a vegetarian customer there are not many options. However, they had a pizza on the menu that looked tempting. Unfortunately I did not have a great experience as the crust was overcooked and there was a lot of cheese. But the service was really quick. In fact, our server didn't have to write the order for eight people, she could just remember it. Other people in my group had chicken and they were not too happy with it.

    Excellent food with fast friendly service. Had the pork tenderloin sandwich with tater tots. The sandwich was huge and full of flavor. The tater tots were outstanding and cooked crispy just the way I like them. Also had some of their homemade ranch on the side which was delicious. Beers were served quickly and cold.

    They definitely have amazing food! The tenderloin has got to be my favorite, and the pizza as well! The bartender was amazing and very friendly! Highly recommend this place!!

    The menu online is NOT the same as in person. I can't have beef, lettuce, or anything fried. I was looking forward to their club sandwich because it fit my low-fat dietary requirements.. Got there, and the menu was extremely truncated. Everything was beef, or battered and deep fried. The soup was corned beef. Dont get me wrong, my hubby absolutely loved his food. He said it was really good! The drinks were good, and the service was fabulous. Just wish they had more options, or at the very least, updated their online menu so we knew beforehand.
