    This is the best Irish Pub I've ever been to in the US! I went with a party of 15, and having sampled each plate, I can say that everything is delicious from apps to desserts. We loved it so much that we returned (not all 15 people) the next night for a late night meal and live entertainment. I'd make a trip back to the city simply to eat here again!

    First time here. Stopped in as a group with about 14 other motorcycles. The service was fast and friendly. Beer selection was great, cold and delicious. I had the fish and chips. Fresh cod that was delicious. My wife had Shepherds Pie. It was very good, but used beef and not lamb. The place has a great atmosphere and a super nice little heated outdoor area. We will be back for sure.

    Such a cozy atmosphere in the dining. I'm very grateful for the large gluten free menu, including desserts! Our server was very sweet and accomodating. I believe her name was Jess. I had the potato & leek soup followed by the Turkey Club on a gluten-free roll with fries. They do use a shared fryer, so those with extreme gluten-sensitivities should choose another side option. The sandwich was delicious and very filling!

    My partner and I went here a few weeks ago. The food was delicious, my partner got a Sheppard's Pie and I got a burger. The atmosphere is beautiful too, I love all the old knickknacks that are a long the tops of the walls. Definitely a great place.

    It was my first visit last Sunday. I had been curious about this place since I bought a nearby liquor store almost a decade ago. Its setup was so great and the parking lot was always packed. The interior was spacious with high ceiling, welcoming and definately Irish. Sitting was roomy and comfortable. Food and sides were delicious and savory. Surprisingly the prices were so inexpensive. My overall experience was five stars except that a busboy was in a little hurry.

    Delicious food, a lovely dinner. We had the Shephards Pie, Fish and Chips, Calamari, Bread Pudding and Potato and leek soup, all great. Took a piece of bread pudding home for the husband too it was so good!

    My husband and I love this place. It's now one of our go to places. A few dishes we've had include the fish & chips, salmon, and Shepherds Pie. On our last visit we had a pork belly appetizer which was one of the best things I've eaten in a while. The renovations to the restaurant look great. It has the old school pub look with just enough modern-day touches. The live music is great, but a bit too loud, but that's just my personal preference. This is a neighborhood gem.

    Stopped in last minute. We arrived around 430p on a Saturday afternoon. A party of four, the hostess asked us if we had reservations (we didn't) and then told us there was "no seating inside until 730p" and left it at that. Ok. Right then, an older gentleman stepped in and said there was plenty seating outside and led us to the enclosed area outside (PLENTY OF OPEN TABLES) where we were promptly seen by a server and enjoyed a great meal. I recommend the "all-day breakfast"--so much deliciousness on the platter. We will come back here again, but the front of house should tweak their customer service skills.

    Killarney House is our go to “fancy” dinner joint. The food is always AMAZING! Generous portions, hearty filling dishes, wide selection, and very reasonable prices for the quality. The atmosphere is cozy with live music some nights. Their beef stew is hands down the best dish in my opinion.

    In general, the place was very loud. The food, there was six of us so was okay for some, the corned beef and cabbage. Cabbage you got plenty of but the corned beef was dry as a bone, my stew was good but the mashed potatoes were cold... The Reuben was good.

    Great atmosphere and decor. Irish Breakfast was outstanding. Bangers, Back Bacon, and Black and White Pudding were all great. Brought back great memories!

    Great pub. Staff was nice and accommodating. Good pint of Guinness as well. Sure to check out if you’re in the area.

    Really cool atmosphere. The server was very attentive and professional. I had brunch there and it was delicious. I had a corned beef brunch bowl.

    Great traditional Irish fare. If you haven't tried their Irish eggnog, you should its amazing. They have live music in the pub during the week and weekend. The food is delicious, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere takes you back to Killarney, warm and welcoming. They also have one of the best brunches in town.

    5 stars does not begin to capture the blissful happiness brought on by this establishment. The host was the most pleasant human, an epitome of a gentleman. He warmly welcomed us and when we asked if our pup could join us in their outdoor seating his face lit up and he insisted that our puppy come in. He came back to our table multiple times to check on us, providing our dog with fresh water, pets and spoiling him with bacon. Our server, Wyatt, was covering over a half dozen tables and never broke a sweat. He was incredibly professional and wonderfully attentive. Now the food... the food... the food was nothing less than heavenly. The corned beef poppers were so tendar they melted in your mouth. The fish and chips had deliciously plump fish and was perfectly seasoned. The pot roast had the biggest most tendar pieces of beef and sautéed vegetables to die for. Simply by chance we happen upon this gem and being 90 minutes from home we will be making the trip back soon for Killarney House.

    Went last night for my fiancé's birthday and had such a lovely meal. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the ambience is very homey and loved their Christmas decorations. Will definitely be back. Great value too.

    We're spoiled by having lived near and frequented Auld Shebeen in Fairfax, VA. My turkey Rueben was thin and lacked meat. And... They don't have Kilkenny!?! The food was just ok, not great. Spouse got the Irish Stew and the meat was tough but was a fair amount.

    Great lively yet cozy atmosphere, the staff were all very friendly, and the food was superb! The pot roast was the most tender I've ever had, super delicious.

    Love them. From their sips of eggnog around the holidays to their great beer collection. Hard to begin. Had their perfect meatloaf yesterday and she had the fried oysters. Friendly staff. Beautiful imported furnishing and superb flowers and landscaping out front.

  • 4/5 Sheila M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, friendly staff and patrons. I ordered the fish and chips. My fish was nice and crispy on the outside but moist and flavorful on the inside. My coworker had the corned beef and cabbage. The dish included mashed potatoes and chopped carrots. Our waitress, Ms. Linda, was kind and patient. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

    We haven't been here since Covid. It was nice to be back. The menu has changed, didn't see some of my favorites. But some still there. Highly recommend the corn beef poppers and their Fried and raw oysters. Their Eggnog Chocolate Martini- 😋 yum!

  • 2/5 Meg J. 1 year ago on Google
    The good: weekend brunch bowl was decent. The bad: appetizer was kind of a rip off. $8 for 3 small meatballs. The service was a bit slow, almost missed out on the brunch menu due to the staff taking too long to get our order in.

    Checking this place out. Trying their version of an Oldfashion using Redbreast 12 year. And ordered their Irish Ruben

    My family and I had a great brunch. This was our first time dining at this restaurant our waiter Alison was absolutely amazing. The service and food was great. We will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family.

    This old irish pub has been an Annapolis area staple for many years. On a Thursday afternoon when normal people should be at work, you will find this place packed full of retirees and scammers robbing their employers by "working" from home. Seriously, the parking lot is full. For good reason, the food is of the traditional irish pub charm and the service impeccable. Music and brunch on the weekends too.

    A very nice place, busy when we went there on a Friday night in August. Outdoor area is first come first serve, but there were plenty of seats available when we arrived around 8pm. Ordered the cabbage wraps because they were recommended (not my thing because I'm not a mustard person). Husband got the salmon. Daughter got fish and chips (these were the winner) and son got a burger. Very good pricing! The two desserts we got her were strawberry flowerless cake and a gluten free pineapple upside down cake. The strawberry cake looked beautiful but was a tad dry. There was live music inside (love that). I would love to hear more Irish/world music-really looking for that experience when coming to a place like this. Killarney House is a nice stop in central Maryland. ☘️☘️
