   It was a 45 min wait even after a prior reservation. Though the tables were empty, the kitchen was backed up. Not sure how they can be so screwed up in anticipating the Mother's day crowd. I wouldn't go there again. Mother's day plan was totally messed up. I ended up going to a Thai place nearby.

   Had reservation for Mother’s Day but it wasn’t even crowded. Still took an hour for the main meal to come. The first course meal came out after my sons main meal. By the time me and my gfs main meal came out, he was finished with his. Couldn’t believe they served his lunch before even getting our appetizer. The appetizer was just spinach dip and chips. Should have been out on the table within 5 min of ordering and then our 3 meals served at the same time. Unbelievable. No one said sorry or acted like it was weird or even an issue. We had the same thing happen at the Applebees in bridgewater recently too. Not sure what’s happening to restaurants these days. Only good thing was the food actually tasted good and price was good.

   There were 8 of us.. we all enjoyed our meals. Several people ordered the meat loaf for the 3rd or 4th time and still claim it as delicious.

   Good food for a reasonable price. Dine in or take out, it's good either way. They also have a bar which is a good option for some.

    Waited 20 minutes for a waiter, another 20 minutes for our beverages. My husband’s appetizer arrived with dinner and was missing something. My order was wrong and had to be remade. By the time my dinner came out, my husband had finished eating. I was there for an hour before receiving food. No drink refills. Another 20 minutes for our check and we had asked twice and finally had to hunt down the server to get the bill.

    Chain restaurant with some nice menu options. Server was friendly but a little slow with getting things we asked for. Had to ask twice but she was pleasant and the place got real busy right after we sat. The food was fine not completely hot. My wife sent back fries for hot ones. The manager bought us desert for the trouble which was nice.

    It took 2.5 hours for 6 adults and 2 kids to eat dinner when the restaurant was completely empty. Definitely the worst Houlihan’s we’ve been to.

    Tough to find a restaurant open on Christmas but luckily for us Houlihan's was opened and took reservations. It was a little chaotic when we walked in because a dozen folks were crowded around the check-in counter wanting their to-go orders. We got our table and quickly got waited on as they were closing soon. Our food came pretty quickly and other than the top of my veggie burger bun being hard as a brick, everything else was perfect. Gave the waitress an extra tip as we appreciated her working on Christmas.

    The food was excellent. We chose their 3 course dinner plus an additional appetizer (calamari). Every bite we took was delicious and the price was more than fair. Not just the food itself truly impressed us, it was the lonesome worker named Jason who acted as our server. In fact, he was the bartender whose main job was to mix drinks and pour beer. When he had customers, he took orders. He was highly efficient running the bar and serving as a waiter and he cleared tables sometimes. He was this amazing one man band who did his job marvelously. We tipped generously. We would sure go back. This pandemic was killing the food industry and causing such low staff turnout. It made us sad that the surviving staff was so overworked and exhausted. I just hoped they got compensated REALLY well.

    Met friends for lunch. Unfortunately not good any longer. There was one other couple dining. Food was just ok, the waiter dropped a stemmed glass of iced sangria on the table which broke and got all of us wet. We had to change tables. I don’t see Houlihan’s staying around much longer. Too bad as it Was always a great place.

    This poor restaurant is dying. I don’t expect it to be around in another year. Myself and 6 family members arrived at 4:30pm for my nephews birthday(was specifies on the reservation). We were seated in a timely manner, but that’s it. We didn’t see a server until after 5 pm. At that point we put our entire order in. After about 40 minutes drinks began to trickle out, one was missing and some came that were not ordered. Took some time for correct drink to come out(all that was ordered were sodas, water and milk) after about 40+ more minutes only chips came out when soups and salads were also ordered but whatever there was food so we ate as we were very hungry and restless..forget about the refills we ordered as those were forgotten about an hour. Entrees were absolutely awful and my mothers did not come out until 30+ minutes after everyone else’s trickled out of the kitchen. Mine was freezing cold and very under cooked. My husbands was raw my nieces seemed to be old. I’m assuming there was cross contamination in the kitchen and once we were home my husband and I were running to the bathroom extremely sick along with my mother who called and told me the same. This place so understaffed that those who are working are just running around aimlessly not knowing where to even start. It was very sad. Working there in 07 was great but those memories were wiped away dealing with that disgusting mess I had to deal with and pay to get sick. It’s a shame.

    "Short of staff" is a frequently recurring message in chain restaurants and that is what we were greeted with-a line waiting to check in. So we went to the bar, where the friendly and attentive bartender got our drinks, asked if we were dining, and took us to a table in the bar. A good start. Unfortunately, there were too many flies disturbing us during dinner. And despite the elegant photos and food descriptions on OT, this once upscale chain has joined the other chains in a race to the bottom. Food items were bland and not at all unique. How do you make a flavorless spinach-artichoke dip? And please don't get me started on the thin, broken chips served with it. My wife's salmon entrée was at best mediocre. My burger was good and the fries arrived hot. They did have several very nice wines by the glass, as well as a favorite single malt which I enjoyed. It is highly doubtful we'd return to this restaurant.

    Food is typically good. Service is always terrible. It always takes too long for someone to take your order. They take your drink order and then you sit there for 10 minutes waiting for the drinks. They never refill drinks unless you ask and then sometimes they remember but most times not so you have to go through the meal with an empty glass. It never seems like they have enough staff and those they do have disappear. Even when there are very few people in the place the service is poor.

    To my utmost surprise, the front desk manager dishonestly charged us extra 1.5 times for food and drink $44.74+$2.96 On We ordered two ($10.00) Jalopeno stuffed Chicken dishes and a House drink ($5.00). The total is $25.00 +Tax. They charged us $44.74 for food and drink + Tax, instead of $25.00. When I complained, they reduced it to $30.66, still charging extra $3.75 for the drink. It's a deliberate act which should never happen again.
