| - I waited a bit after Mary O'Neill's opening to try it out. The family and I went on a Monday night, when typically businesses in Waxhaw are either closed or not very busy. It was pleasant to see Mary O'Neill's was busy but not packed out. The bar are was full but there were tables available. We were seated at two two tops that were pushed together along the long banquet wall. Our waitress was nice and answered our questions. There was no beer list offered with the menu, but our waitress had one and I got a very brief look at the beers that they have, including my personal favorite, the White Zombie from Catawba Brewing. The current menu has about 10 items total. We were told that this was their trial menu and that a new menu would be coming. The place has been open for more than a month now, so it seems strange that there isn't a more complete menu. There are a few apps, some sandwiches,a couple of plates, fish and chips and the obligatory shepherds pie. My girls both ordered burgers and the wife order a ruben. I took a chance on the shepherd's pie. The burgers looked great and came with choice of sides. One daughter took sweet potato fries the other regular. My wife ordered sweet potato fries as well. The fries were tasty as were the burgers, but the order was a bit on the slim side. My shepherd's pie was good, but not nearly worth the $14 price tag. The dish was tasty by very small on the portion. I noticed a gentleman next to us make a same comment on the size vs. price of this dish. Another small peeve. Everyone except me ordered water as their beverage. Water at O'Neill's comes in a glass milk bottle with these tiny little glasses that you have to keep refilling if you are eating. Suggestion to management. If a guest orders water, bring them a full glass of water, with ice. I know it is trendy right now to serve water at the table in the milk bottle as I have seen several restaurants start doing this. But, if you are eating a meal, drinking from a 4 ounce juice glass isn't going to work. Overall, Mary O'Neill's is pub first, restaurant second. The folks in Waxhaw rave about this place and I am sure that in time things will get better. Figuring out the true identity of the place (bar or restaurant) would be a great first step. Repricing the menu would also help. We will stick to Maxwell's or The Olive or Bistro Antonio for now though.
