| - Ok, I admit it. I'm a snob. I like the whole locally sourced, independently owned, anti-franchise, urban renewal, blahdeyblah.
When I drove by Danny Boys, I honestly didn't think that I was going to like it. I mean, where is the minimalist exposed brick and terse waitstaff? That and there is wayyy too much ample parking for my taste!
Danny Boys really blew me away though. It's large, has an open bar and open feeling, lots of TVs, lots of fun kitsch on the walls....and I haven't even gotten to the food yet!
They have a huge menu with about anything you could think of. We ordered an appetizer pizza with ricotta, mushrooms and spinach. It was delicious and the size was much larger than what I'd expected under the "appetizer pizza" menu. My bf got the Tony Soprano (spaghetti, meatballs, on a sub bun) and I got a brisket turnover with pub cheese sauce. We left full and happy and I asked for another cup of that cheese sauce because (*explicative*) it was awesome! (Side note: I've been trying to figure out what's in it for days...please Danny Boys...I must know!)
Our server Brando (Really? Come on!) was on top of things, despite being short staffed. He kept our respective drinks full and was absolutely engaging! I also want to add just how fun it was to see the place packed, with lots of families and balloon hats. It was a fun time and I loved the food!
We'll absolutely be back!
