Went this past Thursday night. It was a beautiful night to sit on the back patio. They had acoustic music which was very good. I had my regular Josh Cab and Grilled Salmon on Salad with their amazing Lemon Garlic Aioli. I also had a side of Tater Tots - which are always excellent. My friend had the pea soup which she said was great and the meatball appetizer - which was plenty for a small meal. Both of us liked our food and again the music and being outdoors made it a great night out. Will visit again soon.

After years of getting beer at the Killarney's bar stand at Trenton Thunder Stadium, we decided to try the restaurant because an ad for it kept popping up at games. I want to emphasize that we didn't know what to expect, we just thought we'd give it a shot. I will be honest, it wasn't an experience we enjoyed. This is NOT an Irish pub despite the way they try to present it as such - it's a "bro" roadhouse sports bar. It was raining, so we had indoor seating with football games on multiple TV screens, and it was extremely loud and noisy. Service was good, no complaints there. Wine pours were fine and generous. However, the food? Both baked potato soup and the Shepherd's pie were overloaded with cheese, and the Shepherd's pie was nothing resembling the Irish dish - it was just ground beef, not lamb, and overloaded with cheese and mushy mashed potatoes. My shrimp and fries basically were what you'd get in the frozen food aisle at the grocery store, just heated up. Maybe we should have gone with burgers or wings, more sports bar snacks, but the meal was disappointing for a place that advertises itself as an Irish pub scene. One final thing: Maybe we should have picked another night, because if you're going to go there when major sports are on TV, just a warning in advance that you're going to be there with loud guys yelling and screaming for their teams without notice of anyone else in the place. Or in the case of one dude at the bar, screaming "F**k (team I don't like)" throughout. Overall, great place if that's your thing, but again this is not a traditional style Irish pub. It's a bro roadhouse, period.

Came here on vacation with family of 6 - 2 adults, 2 teens, 2 kids. Menu had great options for everyone. Waitress was great, very personable and accommodating of questions / requests. We sat out on the back porch on a nice night - the lighting and ambiance was great. I highly recommend the Spicy Leprechaun sandwich. Switching to the garlic fires is also highly recommended - they are yummy. Very reasonably priced.

I reserved an outdoor table on the patio. The table offered was not to our liking due to location. We asked if we could have one of the other available tables and we're told no, they were reserved. I was confused. I made a reservation. Who are they reserved for? Apparently, they only reserve certain tables for people that make reservations through open table. That's interesting.

Googled restaurants near Grounds For Sculpture. This was one of quite a few that came up. I read reviews and looked at the menu and we made our decision. It was a good choice. Food was great and our waitress Noelle was so very nice and accommodating. I am from Pennsylvania but if I’m ever back in that area I would definitely go there again.

Dined on the outdoor patio area which was very nice. Our cocktails came in a plastic cup-not the way to serve a Cosmo. Had two drinks and they were made inconsistently. The beef burrito bowl was awful. Maybe cook needs to try Chipotle. The ground beef which was room temp was served on a small mix of tasteless rice. Server was friendly.

Our third visit here and less impressed each time. The service level decreased, and after a really good burger on the first visit, the food quality since has been sub-par. Likely won't be back.

Very weak mixed drink. Fried shrimp…almost all batter. Fried were mediocre at best. Didn’t bother to complain as it was a gorgeous afternoon and the outdoor seating was nice. Our server Valerie was lovely but she did recommend the shrimp.

Decided to stop here for dinner before heading out to Grounds for Sculpture. We were seated quickly and service was good. Food was delicious, although I admit presentation could be better. For appetizers we ordered the cajun chicken nachos and the BBQ pork flatbread. When the nachos arrive, we were not impressed and expected it to be boring, but it was actually very good. It just didn't look like anything special. Same with the flatbread, but again... it was very good! For entrees, my boyfriend ordered the Irish Breakfast and I ordered the Dublin chicken. The entrees definitely looked more appeals. For drinks he had a smoky old fashioned and I had the chocolate old fashioned. Amazing! I highly recommend. They also have live music on particular days which are printed on the menu.

We haven't been to Killarney's in a very long time. I felt like some boneless wings. So I ordered the ones in Guiness BBQ sauce. My wife ordered some with mild sauce. The ones with Guiness BBQ were very hard and dry. They were even difficult to cut with a knife. I am guessing that they are frozen (can't say for sure) but I did not finish my 8 wings. My wife said hers weren't as tough. The Onion soup was fine as were the fried pickles. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The atmosphere was Irish pub like and that was nice. If we go again I would not necessarily order boneless wings.

I drove 40 minutes to get here and I was not disappointed. A pub called Killarney you are expecting good fish and chips and Shepards pie. And that exactly what we got. Delish. Austin our server was AMAZING. we were a party of 9 in A crowed pub and he was on top of everything we needed as if we were his only table. The band playing that night Alterego was GREAT!!! They play soft rock from the 60s to the 90s. So much fun!!! Such a fun evening. 5 stars!!

Everything was wonderful. Noelle our bartender was very friendly and made amazing cocktails. We had a cosmo and an espresso martini. She was very attentive. I had the Irish breakfast and it was fantastic. It usually comes w toast but I opted for French fries instead. Would def recommend. Seamus seems to have a well oiled machine here and he should be very proud.

My husband and I went here last Friday night. Our waiter was awesome - super personable and attentive. The food was unexpectedly good. I got the salmon BLT without the roll and the aioli was so good. My husband had the chili which he said was really good and the shrimp wrap. He said the wrap was one of the best he ever had. 2 beers and 2 glasses of wine and the total was super reasonable. Liked it so much that we have another reservation coming up here and we are bringing friends.
