Diner Reviews

"I made a reservation for my partner and I requesting outdoor dining, but when I arrived the indoor hostess rudely directed me to the outdoor hostess instead. When we got outside, none of the servers passing by, nor did the hostess acknowledged that we were even standing there. When she finally came up, I mentioned that I had made a reservation. She casually looked around and saw a table for two covered in dirty napkins and glasses saying, "Oh, we could clean that table off." After we got our meals, we had to flag someone down because we didn't have silverware or napkins. Our server took over 20 minutes to bring our check because she was texting. Needless to say, we will not be returning and it's a shame because the food was delicious."

"As usual the food was reliable if unspectacular but once seated, we waited for 10 minutes for a server to come by before realizing we had been seated at a booth to which no one had been assigned. This simply doesn't happen at a competently-run restaurant. Once a server was assigned, he was courteous and efficient but when we left, the host and hostess at the front desk were so busy joking with each other that they couldn't possibly have been attending to business."

"I have been here a few times, and each experience has been delicious! This place is and will remain one of my top choices to dine, for lunch and dinner.."

"I would recommend Gullifty's on the condition that the person didn't want to tap to anyone and wouldn't mind wearing ear plugs while dining. The noise level was so high it hurt my ears. I couldn't hear our waiter. I had to shout for him to hear me. This really detracted from the enjoyment of eating. The food here is extremely good but the noise level makes you forget that. Please do something! Even outside was screaming loud."

"Gullifty's was my favorite restaurant growing up. Unfortunately it was renovated and now it's trying to be a fancier restaurant. The food was fine, but not really worth the prices they charged. It was also VERY loud in there which made it harder to hear each other. "

"We went to the restaurant for a birthday party. There were seven of us. The waitress was very nice and friendly, and very accommodating. I recommend this place. Great food."

"This visit was not worth the $85 I spent. Out waitress did the least amount if work possible for my table that a sever could do. I had to ask for everything ie silverware, napkibs, drink refills and I was about to go to the bar to get some napkins to wipe up the glass of wine that was knocked over 10 minutes prior and we didn't get any napkins yet, nor did any of the other else ask or bring anything to clean up the 3/4 glass of wine in the floor and table. Our waitress finally had someone else clean it and asked if we wanted another glass. 25 minutes later and no glass of wine, 3/4 of our meals eaten(brought out by someone else) was I finally able to flag her down and cancel the glass of wine. She gave a very unconvincing "oh I'm so sorry""

"We were seated outdoors, which was nice. However, the service wasn't the best. They were packed indoors, and our waiter was definitely struggling to get all of his parties taken care of--they definitely needed more servers. Food was decent and the beer menu was pretty extensive with lots of microbrew beers. This is good for coming with friends."
Dined on 4/12/2014
"The server was sweet but too busy to manage the table well. Kitchen was slow Under renovation so the ambiance should improve. Spent many a happy hour at Gullifty's when a Nova' student on the 80's. Hope it can recapture glory days ehen renovation is done. Also, way overpriced for salads and fajitas..."

"Have no words - waiter ruined our evening with a bad attitude. Food was average, it was loud and staff was overwhelmed. Thought we might find a nice place to go with kids/family, but will not be back."

"My husband and I have been to Gullifty's quite a few times and have enjoyed our food and service each time. This night was no different in that respect; however, the noise level from the over-crowded bar was almost too much to handle. I had to shout so my husband and waiter could hear me, and the woman at the table next to ours had to do the same thing. I have no complaints about the food or service, but it would be nice if there were something to block some of the noise from the bar from drifting into the dining room."
Dined on 3/28/2014
"I really enjoyed my food and drinks. Our waiter was nothing but nice, quick to help us, and willing to answer our menu questions. The noise of the restaurant was a little hard to have a nice conversation but I would still go back."

"We have dined here many times and always find that they have good food and attentive service. This was no exception. And if you're looking for a quick meal, we were finished in an hour."
Dined on 3/22/2014
"Not kid friendly. Service was terrible. Food was fine at best. But, at least it wasn't cheap."
Dined on 3/23/2014
"If you are in the mood for bar atmosphere with fine dining prices and fast food service this is your place. This was our second visit with the same server both times (Lamont). He was better this time but still slow and not overly attentive. We had no silver ware when our entrees arrived and had to ask for refills if we saw him. The food has potential but nothing to go out of the way for."
Dined on 3/21/2014
"Food selection and quality is very decent, but the noise level is deafening! Seems that the relatively recent interior redesign has made the acoustics even worse than they were before, unfortunately."
Dined on 3/21/2014
"If you want to have a quiet, serious discussion, this is not the place for that. If you want decent food, cocktails, and watch tv, yes, this is your go to place."

"We arrived a little early for our reservation. Thank goodness, We were not on the list as having a reservation. Of course I showed them the confirmation from Open Table. This is a very busy restaurant. They did not have room for us in the restaurant area, but placed us in a booth in the bar area. It actually worked out well for the three of us. This issue was handled professionally. They did everything they could to make us comfortable. We enjoy going there because of the staff and food. We were more than satisfied with the way they handled lack of a reservation coming through on Open Table."

"The food at Gulliftys is outstanding, but for the second time (in a row), with two different waitstaff, my credit card was charged incorrectly, voided and recharged. This leaves a transaction on hold for up to 5 business days, I did not authorize a second swipe of my card, regardless of server error and the incorrect transaction being voided, to just swipe the card a second time without my authorization is unacceptable to me. Because of the food, I will return, but will pay cash in the future."

"Was there on a Monday and was surprised at the crowd for a typical off night for restaurants ... found a perky young hostess who seated us immediately and watched as the restaurant quickly filled with patrons. 3 hungry businessmen were impressed with the beer options (They serve Chimay!) and the dinner options - opting not to go gastro pub food but with full course dinners. The short rib and the crab cakes were awesome, and we split some appetizers that arrived promptly. Will definitely go back and sample some of the "fun bar food" and sandwiches."

"A last minute decision to eat out after an 8-hour car ride; tired but hungry. Service was prompt and very good throughout the meal. I heard some were unhappy since they ran out of Bud Light, but we hate the stuff so didn't care. Calamari was gone for the night, too, which had us a little sad. Braised short ribs were very good. Scottish salmon was slightly dry but very tasty. Broccoli steamed just right. We like the menu variety and always have a good meal."

"I asked the hostess for something and she just turned her head and walked away Very rude and they have lost a good customer. I will go to Kelly' s or the Grog just down the street"

"I had the crab cake sandwich and it was great.! Lots of flavor and little filling mostly crab meat. Staff was very attentive and service was quick."

"It was our first time and it was after a Villanova basketball game but the hostess staff could have singlehandedly strangled the business Saturday night. We had a reservation for 7:15pm. At 7:30 the hostess at the stand, surrounded by waiting patrons, said she had no idea which party was next to be seated. I had also witnessed others questioning the wait times they had been repeatedly told by the hostesses. The food was good but eventually people are going to realize it might not be worth the hassle."

"We arrived on short notice with a group of 11 and the staff was very responsive in getting our group seated and hungry swimmers fed. Very attentive and cheery table service. Manu is varied and the food was good. Just right for the situation."
Dined on 1/17/2014
"Gullifty's was a good casual dining option when I was a student at Villanova. Now, after my children have graduated from there, it's still a great stand-by. Great service and good casual dining."
Dined on 1/15/2014
"It's nice to have a family-friendly option with a good selection of beers on tap. We arrived during a rush with lots of big parties present already, but were seated immediately. Our server was very attentive and took great care of us without rushing us through. Our kids had no problem making selections from the wide-ranging menu and everyone was happy with their food. It was unusually noisy due to a large college-age birthday party happening adjacent to us, but that just made it seem kind of festive. The menu has definitely improved over the years since I first went there so very very many years ago."
Dined on 1/10/2014
"The food and service were excellent. Our waiter was very knowledgeable, and all of the food was tasty. I strongly recommend a reservation, as they were very good about holding reserved tables and seating you when you arrived, as opposed to the 20-30 minute wait without a reservation."
Dined on 1/10/2014
"We can always count on Gullifty's for a good meal."

"This spot is one of our go-to's for a casual no-fuss dining experience with a variety of menu choices and very good food."

"Gullifty's events manager was quick to assist me on the reservation and everything turned out perfectly. The staff was attentive, yet not obtrusive and even offered to take our group picture when we were getting ready to leave."
Dined on 12/20/2013
"Our party was sat right away. But our table was a long table and the restaurant was soo loud that it was impossible to talk to people at the other end of the table. They have great selection of beer but they removed a lot of choices from the menu. Some of my favorite things are no longer offered. Food was good but nothing special. Our server was nice and polite. We would go back but maybe request to sit upstairs. It was so loud that it was hard to enjoy our evening."
Dined on 10/26/2013
"Good varied menu. Kids portions were very small and only large enough for a child with very small appetite. We had to order more for our 7 year old. Food was good - not great.... salad dressing too heavy Restaurant a bit dreary looking but Overall a family friendly place that we would return to occasionally"
Dined on 10/24/2013
"Gullifty's is one of my go to places for work lunches. The food is good, have a nice selection of salads, and seem to accommodate special requests easily. There is ample parking, though current construction has changed things up a little. Parking is a bit trickier, but still plenty. It's a nice place to get good food and talk business."

"We ate in this restaurant in August and September. Both visits were very frustrating, and we will not eat here again. In August they could not bring members of our party any water because "they did not have any glasses.". There were plenty of glasses for beer though! They also did not have enough silverware, and we had to ask for it repeatedly. We returned in September because it's location was convenient, but this visit was not any better. We had to ask for water 4 times until a manager brought it for us. They did not seat us on time for our reservation. It seemed that tables were empty for quite a while before they would seat people at them. It seems that there aren't many experienced adults running this place."
Dined on 9/21/2013
"Service was very poor due to Villanova's Parent's weekend. They gave our food to another table then brought it to us after someone at the other table touched it. They were delivering the wrong food to the wrong people all around us."
Dined on 9/21/2013
"Outstanding pizza and barbecue wings. Below average buffalo chicken salad and above average short rib entree. Homemade oreo coffee ice cream was one of the best I have ever had, with the exception of Springers. Our server forgot my son's entree and asked if he still wanted it....not so great, but when he got the full rack they were so good he forgot about it. Pretty bar but weird display of t-shirts in a bakery like glass case in the bar detracted from the upscale look. Fun and energetic crowd of all ages were there since it was Villanova Parents Weekend. Would definitely go back again."
Dined on 9/21/2013
"My parents were visiting from out of town so I booked our reservation a few days prior. Gullifty's website made it quick and easy and I was glad to make the reservation ahead of time! It was a Saturday night and the place was packed by 6:30. It only took a few minutes before we were seated and our host made some excellent recommendations once he came to our table. Despite how crowded the restaurant was, the wait staff worked tirelessly and our food was served in a timely manner. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone for any occasion! I will definitely be coming back!"
Dined on 9/21/2013
"My husband and son had to send their meat back because it was too rare, but the kitchen overcooked it. My meat was too rare also, but I ate it. The caesar salad was dripping in dressing and we didn't eat it."
Dined on 9/21/2013
"We've noticed over the past many months that there seemed to be a movement afoot to "upscale" the menu. Seemingly, it has come full cycle. There is a totally new menu with fewer offerings (not always a bad thing) and many of our "go to" items missing. To that point, the quesadillas, turkey club and pot roast are all gone. The potato soup was good. The flavor of the short rib sandwich was overpowering. The crab cake sandwich was pronounced pretty good. The strawberry pie dessert was, as in the past, exceptional. All in all, we probably will not return."
