    Happy hour lasts until 7pm. They have amazing food and beverages!! Crafted beer is only 4$ Mojitos 5$ The soups where 4.99$ each and the Bruschettas/ Wings 7$ each. The mushrooms 5$. We also ordered the sticky cake with ice cream on top, 5.99$ Ambience is super comfortable and relaxed. Servers are polite and fast. To be honest, this is a GREAT option for a Friday night! It's definitely a new favorite! Coming back soon to have more fun and relax after a loooong week!! 🙌🏻😎✌🏻

    2 steps above TGI FRIDAYS and 4 above Applebee's. Burger was actually cooked perfect and tasty. The service guy was honest on what he likes and was right.

    It was a great first experience as I have passed by this institution for many years before finally giving them an attempt. Well it was well worth the wait as the food was excellent and the service matched the food. If you are looking beyond the restaurants that are more known then give this a visit. You will be happy and I will return!

    What happened to this place? It was pretty empty for a Friday afternoon. There was one guy who was the host, waiter, and bartender. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the cook, too. The only good thing was the calamari and Mexican mule. The food was okay. Our one complaint was the chicken parm pasta was mixed with cream which did not make it good.

    We went here on a Sunday and were surprised and excited that they had happy hour all day at the bar. We ordered some drinks and a couple of appetizers to share. The drink’s definitely hit the spot but the food was okay quality. We ordered the nachos, avocado chicken egg rolls, and chicken tenders. The service was also very slow. The portions were large for the amount you paid which was great!

    okay so this was my first time trying Houlihan’s and let me just say it will not be my last! the shrooms were amazing! we got the fried cauliflowers and they tasted like so good. we also got the impossible burger, it was okay felt like it was missing something it was avg honestly. I got the Tuscany chicken pasta and I didn’t like it at all. it supposed to have wine and lemon in them and all i could taste is the wine, not good at all. our waitress was kind enough to remove it from our receipt, she was amazing don’t remember her name but she deserved more than what we tipped her honestly. she was very attentive, patient and helped us choosing our orders.

    I absolutely love it here! I come here after work and the staff treats you like family, Kim is the best!!! The atmosphere is warm and loving, the food is amazing, and they really just take care of you. They make sure your experience is everything. Best service by a long shot here. Make sure to ask for Kim, she’s such a sweetheart you won’t regret it!!

    The server was very attentive and catered to our needs. The food was amazing we had the fish and chips, scallops, calamari, quesadilla and wings.

  • 5/5 Jonathan M. 5 months ago on Google
    Bartender by the name of Kim G, fantastic. Very engaging and friendly. Best bartender I have come across in quite awhile. Will definitely be returning for more great conversations and service.

    They've always been a family-friendly place, but these new high chairs are extra amazing!! The scallops on risotto are my fave

  • 5/5 Nancy R. 11 months ago on Google
    We hosted my daughter’s birthday here last night and it was more than what I could have imagined. Houlihan’s loft space is perfect for an intimate occasion, warm and very inviting. Michelle (Sales and Events Coordinator) was amazing, very friendly and professional and made reserving the area and planning so easy, flexible and gave me all access to the space and how I wanted to decorate. I was even able to have my own themed music for the event. If you have a small event coming up, I HIGHLY recommend reserving the loft at Houlihan’s Paramus, our guests were so impressed they inquired about making their own reservations for future events. Ask for Shanene - she was our amazing server, very friendly and patient. And as always you can’t go wrong with great food and drinks from Houlihan’s. Happy planning!

    Good experience. Excellent food. They say us (family of 5. Two grand parents two parents and one 13 year old) in the bar area. Music was too loud and annoying to have a decent conversation. Food wasn't quick to the table but was excellent. I had the aui tuna salad which was excellent.

    Went in the afternoon and it was happy hour. Hubby and I enjoyed the drinks and appetizers. The portions were small but they were actually filling (satisfying). We will definitely be back again and the waiter was also great. Quick service too.

  • 5/5 Cristina P. 11 months ago on Google
    The food is always great here! We ordered the ribs, bruschetta bread, potato skins and chicken avocado eggrolls. Everything was delicious. Our server was also great. Would definitely come here again.

  • 5/5 luis d. 1 year ago on Google
    I drive from Butler to come eat at this location since they closed down the location in Wayne! Love the food! The bruschetta is my favorite appetizer! My wife had the shrooms which are also delicious! I had the impossible burger for the first time. I have to say it’s not that impossible to finish the taste was ok. Won’t be on my top list to order again! But my wife totally loves the stuffed chicken breast! So I enjoyed my appetizer more than my entrée… but I recommend this restaurant to everyone the atmosphere is very comfortable!

    John G. The Manager knows how to treat a customer! I wish all the other managers learn how work the floor like him. He solves problems with care and purpose, something you can’t find in managers anymore. Houlihan’s should cherish such a hard worker, truly.

  • 5/5 Ben H. 1 year ago on Google
    Came back here for the first time in a while & it’s so improved! We sat at the bar & had the pleasure of being helped by Kim who made the most incredible red sangria and was so sweet and friendly. Food was great, definitely coming back. Love that they are open so late!

  • 5/5 mindy r. 1 year ago on Google
    The place looks like it's under new management. We got seated right away. The kids loved their food. Our waiter was really nice and told us what was good. I got scallops with rice and my husband got the fish and chips and he really liked it. The waiter was really nice. Would really recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Joseph M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food and service were great! I had a small steak, after shopping all day I didn't want anything heavy, and it was perfect. My daughter had a spinach dip, and a grilled chicken special, and enjoyed everything. The best yet was the dessert. I has a vanilla bean cheesecake tart, and it was fantastic. 3 layers of different textured American style cheesecake over flaky crust, and I loved it. Just describing it makes me want to drive to NJ to get another!! Our waitress was very professional, and sweet, we talked about our tattoos, and she was great! Thanks

  • 5/5 Franklyn R. 1 year ago on Google
    Would have given a 5 star but the waiter didn't mention the Mother's Day menu to us, plus he looked like he really didn't feel like working that day, which didn't make us feel wanted. The food was good as always and the price was decent.

    Kim G. Was an amazing bartender and she made the atmosphere and the drinks, wonderfully. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. Very impressionable and kind enough to suggest drinks. I had a peach tea lemonade that she obviously masters as well as two wines. This was a good time, especially considering its my first time here.

    We love Kim so much! She has so much personality and really connects with her customers. Come and have a drink at the bar and feel like you have been talking to a friend you have known forever. Food was fabulous and drinks are good.

  • 5/5 Keyla M. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    I had the amazing experience of having Kim G take care of me at my visit to Houilhan’s. She had great recommendations and can make a wonderful margarita. If you have the pleasure of having her as your bartender, you’re lucky! I came here for my friend Vince’s birthday and Kim G made it very special!

  • 5/5 Andrew T. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Kim G is the best bartender. She is always attentive and quick to take my order. Food is always delicious and comes out in a timely fashion. Management always stops by and asks me how everything is. If I could give this place 6 stars I would. My favorite place to go for drinks and food!
