| - Recently I went to McKibbin's Irish Pub. Truthfully I'm not a picky eater nor someone who often complaints. Yet, our lunch that we had was horrible. May sound harsh, but it was simply horrible.
Yes, the service was good and our waitress was kind and polite.. But not more than that. We went on a Friday, and it was also a clear sign that they were short staffed. An Irish Pub on a Friday short staff.. Not at all a good impression. Keep in mind this location recently had a shooting during a fight on a weekend night.
We had ordered fish and chips(We were told that's their specialty) and a French onion soup.
The French onion soup tasted like salty thick water with colour. The bread which the soup should have, was not toasted, therefore it was a soggy old tasting piece of bread. The onions were not fully cooked, therefore they tasted crunchy. The cheese was a lump, not beautifully melted as it should be.
The Fish and chips, were incredibly greasy. Yes, I know it's fried food. The level of greasiness was simply absurd. It absorbed through the paper and dripped a bit from the one piece of fish. Yes, just one piece. The batter on the fish was slipping off each time it was cut, to only realize how much grease there was in this dish. The fries were Ok, if you like fries that taste as if they were warmed up and ,not freshly made.
Luckily our waitress never asked us how our food was, nor if we needed anything else. Otherwise, I would have shared these exact comments to her. I know it's not her fault. But, if a simple bowl of soup can't be well prepared and your specialty was disappointing as well. I think it gives me a good reason not to return. Again. Very disappointing.
