| - I was sadly disapointed in my experiance with this joint. I'm always hopeful when a local place tries to put a twist on Irish fare, but there's not alot of Irish going on, here. First of all, I wanted to get soup insead of fries with my burger--for an upcharge, of course, even though the price for both, a-la carte was the same. I was told, "...absolutly not", just like that. Good thing a family member was just ordering fries, so she ordered soup instead, and we traded. Then I asked for bacon, mushrooms, and swiss cheese, but was told, sorry, no swiss... OK, I'll take chedder and I'd like my "Irish Ketchup" on the side. Oh, what? Not allowed to have sauce on the side? Ummm, OK... Totally effed up and weird at the same time, but, whatever. So, the burger came, and unfortunatly, cook messed up the order, so no bacon or chedder cheese. The ketchep was nothing like "Irish Ketchup", it was sort of gross tasting (I'm 1rst generation Irish-American). I called the server over to request they remake the burger I ordered and to ask about the ketchup that came with it. She said the Irish Ketchep was regular ketchep with malt vineger mixed in. I asked how that was Irish Ketchup and she said that's how they make it in Ireland. NO, they don't. When I asked if bread crumbs were mixed into the meat, she said, only a little bit, to keep the burger moist. I asked if they could make me an all meat burger, because my burger had so much breadcrumbs added, it tasted like meatloaf, and she said no, that they make all the burgers ahead of time. Then she left to get my burger remade. It took over a half hour before I got my burger, because she was the only waitress on a Saturday night. By the time it came, everybody at my table was already done. She brought the BarBQ sauce I opted for instead of their "Irish Ketchup", on the side to try and make me happier, I guess. It was a pittiful experiance for a $13 burger, and I probably won't be back if things don't change.
