First time Flannigans visitor.
It is a Clean and tidy place with nice
Decor and a mixture of average and above average food. Service was friendly, but VERY slow as there was only 1 server for all the tables inside and out.
Our table had for appetizers a Scotch Egg and fried Mac n cheese. WOW the scotch egg was very very good even though I would say it's $7.00 price tag was a little steep. Fried mac n cheese was typical as anywhere else, nothing special.
Entrees for the table were sheppards pie, bangers and mash, Guinness BBQ cheeseburger and Irish Cream chicken. Hey, if your gonna order food at an Irish place, it better be Irish food is our thinking. Sheppards pie was well seasoned and had a good flavor and portion size. Bangers and mash, not so much, no garlic in the garlic mash potatoes and entire dish was very dry and boring. Small portion for the price too.
Guinness BBQ cheeseburger was quite the opposite, very large portion, flavorful and a big portion for the price. Only downside here was the odd tasting soggy fries. The hit of the table was the Irish Cream Chicken, very tasty, but once again, a small portion compared to the price tag.
SO ..... All in all, Flannigans gets 3 stars. Hit and miss Irish food, an almost non existent server (although very friendly when she was tending to our table), and small portion sizes.
Nice patio with plenty of room, but if you are a non smoker, just be aware of the people around you as the patio normally has a big number or smokers for obvious reasons.
I really wanted to like this place a lot, however 3 stars is not a deal breaker for me. I will give it a few weeks and then go back again and see if things are any better or improved.
