Food and drinks were really good (fish and chips, Irish egg rolls, Reuben sandwich, and cocktails) and our service was excellent (I believe our server was JD)! Definitely recommend for couples, families, or groups. Can't wait to come back during music or game nights!
I hardly ever give any reviews under 3 stars. I know almost all of my reviews are 5 because as a business owner, I know the impact of them. But the reality here is that we had a large group of 12, and the service was truly poor. They threw a new person with no experience on us and put us in a back room alone and forgot about us. I had to personally go out on 3 separate occasions to get their attention. When the food finally came it was cold and not very good. Sure, they have games in the back, and maybe the
It's a barcade, with family friendly options. The bar is decently stocked, but nothing special. Burgers are great, everything else is typical bar food. Not bad, not great, but good. Could be a fun local spot, but it's half empty every time I've been there. The Guinness burger keeps me coming back.
We were excited to try this restaurant because the menu looked good. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. However, the service was very good. Our server, JD D, was professional, attentive and friendly. We started our meal with the Scotch Eggs and had to send it back because there was a hair on the eggs. The Strawberry Arugula Salad was about the size of a dinner side salad versus a main meal. Definitely, not worth $15. The Wings and Chicago Beef sandwich were good, but nothing special.
After being seated I told my waitress I needed some time to decide on a beer and food. When I was ready to order she was nowhere to be found. I waved down another waitress who looked me in the eye and kept walking. I then waved to the two young people at the front of the restaurant, I know they both saw me, and they both shook their head. Like they couldn't leave their post to go get my server. Unbelievably bad customer service. That said, once my server was finally flagged down the rest of my afternoon was
Sunday, we celebrated my granddaughter?s 9th birthday party and we all (11 family members) enjoyed the excellent customer service, food and family friendly atmosphere! My wife and I ordered a shrimp appetizer with coleslaw and it was delicious! I ordered the seared salmon and it was so good, my wife had the hangover burger, my daughter chicken, pasta, her boyfriend had shrimp pasta. Other family members selected pizza, chicken strips, hamburger, scallops plus more.
My wife and I had an amazing lunch at Mulligans. We sat in one of their many outdoor tables. This newly built restaurant has great atmosphere either inside or outside. There is a very large parking lot and easy access just off Highway 42. The service was excellent. Mulligan?s offers a variety of sandwiches. hamburgers and other entrees. They have a large selection of appetizers. and the portions are generous. An ice cream shop is opening across the driveway. Check out this hidden gem.
My wife and I decided to have a date night here. The building and area appear to be brand new. Big portions and good food! It was a bit loud with all the concrete floors and hard surfaces, but we still enjoyed it. Lots of TVs to enjoy the latest sports games. If there was a bit more sound dampening, I'd give it 5 stars, but I'd still recommend giving this place a try regardless!
We have been to Mulligans multiple times and have always enjoyed the food. I don't know what changed, but the food was terrible. The fish and chips, the batter wasn't completely cooked. Uncooked batter is not appealing and all I could smell is old beer. It was nothing like it was when we had it in the past. The coleslaw, I wouldn't even touch it. It had an off color to it, and I kept smelling something rancid. I took a smell of the coleslaw and that's where the smell was from. Not fresh one bit. I usually l
New place with good food, plenty of seating outdoor and in, an arcade, axe throwing, and virtual golf. Location is off of 42 and away from the heavy traffic. A good place to watch games with plenty of brews on tap.
Love the "tater bombs" loaded tater tots! Fun atmosphere. Service totally depends on who you get, some are great (more mature servers), some just come back for the check. Based on 5 visits
This is a freaking awesome place!!! Food is delicious, staff is friendly, the games are fun. Great atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating.
We went on a Sunday afternoon, specifically with no football games, to try out the service . Excellent service from Elizabeth. Great wings and quesadillas! Will certainly return again
Our first time here and we will definitely be back with the whole family! Food - awesome, Service (Mikayla) - exceptional and Atmosphere - ummm, hello, it has an arcade!!! From the stuffed tater bombs to the mussels to the pork chop, all were DELICIOUS. After eating, we played a couple rounds of skee ball, a childhood favorite. Highly recommend!
What a disappointment! There were three of us there for dinner. My son's blackened haddock was very dry, didn't even come with a lemon slice but did come with vegetables from a bag of frozen ones. My husband's sirloin tips came as a brown mess; peppers and carrots were indistinguishable, just part of the brown. My fish had previous been cooked; it was so dry after frying. Giving it to my dog proved the previous cooking. We will never return or recommend.
First time patron, The atmosphere was fantastic. Service was decent my bartender was friendly and the drinks that I had were tasty. I ordered wings and they were not the greatest I have a rule whenever I eat somewhere new I have wings and if they aren't good then I assume the rest of the menu isn't that great either. You cant mess up wings and fries but then again you can. The fries basket was overcooked and I feel like the wings were undercooked and tough, but I was hungry so I ate them ???????. Might try
Updating my review as the last couple times we have been here were extremely disappointing. Sat on the patio with our dog during a time where there were only a couple customers and sat waiting over 20 minutes for a beer that never came. The waitress was very polite and I am sure that whatever the reason was for the poor experience was not due to her. The bartender appeared to be more concerned with everything other than serving the customers. She also felt the need to tell me that the ABV on my beer select
I came here the other day and loved every minute of it. The vibes were impeccable, the drinks were delicious, & the staff had stellar customer service, as well as, a great vibe all around. I highly recommend Tori which is in the picture on the right. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and really dexterously adept at making drinks, when I tell her she was a vibe she was a vibe, great personality and superb professionalism. I wish I took a pic of the drinks but will do next times. Check out Mulligans f
Was so excited to have a new place to try out, as options are limited in our area. Went for dinner, around 6:30 on a weeknight. Music was so loud in the dining room that we couldn't even have a conversation. Our server did not approach our table right away as she was too fixated on her phone to notice us directly beside her. Was really hoping for some Shepard's Pie or traditional Irish dishes but found selection to be lacking. We ordered a Reuben (always a top choice for us), a burger and shrimp appetizer.
An excellent fun lunch/dinner spot. Game day (Sunday) wings 10 for 10. Good sauce choices, meaty wings great stuff. Had the club and the wife had the Rueben both were excellent good size with fries or kettle chips. Old style arcade in the back is very fun for all ages. Worth a try. Happy eating. ??
Finally went to try mulligans. My burger was good and cooked well. However, the kids Mac and cheese was clearly extremely dry kraft all clumped together. The adult chicken cheesesteak was surprisingly small and flavorless. We almost sent the food back and walked out due to the portion and quality. The server was fine but had zero personality.
Ordered pizza to go and was charged a $3 svc fee after ordering $60 worth of food and beer. The pizza wasn't great. My wings were good but lacking sauce. The chicken sandwich and eggrolls were good. I would go back for the delicious ice cold beer and a sandwich but will not pay a fee to take food home. The servers and greeters were great! It's $25 per person per hour for axe throwing.
I ain't going to lie to you I'm a cheapskate deal seeker and this place is kind of high but no higher than any of your other top sports bar restaurants these days. But the food is good and the help is friendly. And the music was a big part of the atmosphere for me. They were playing In the background a mix of disco songs from the late '70s , hits from the '80s and '90s on up while we were eating and it just made the whole thing a lot more fun. They have good burgers good fried pickle Spears good nachos the
Great food, wonderful place & atmosphere. Jeff is an amazing bartender! He surely does go above & beyond. Very knowledgeable, works with a sense of urgency, & it interesting to converse with Jeff Hupp. His enthusiasm & passion for what he does shines through. Certainly makes everyone feel welcomed & relaxed.
Absolutely love this place. Food is fantastic. My favorite thing to eat is the Irish spring rolls. Can't go there without getting an order ??
Only thing I would change is the music is a little loud but other then that everything was great, Mac was great and funny we really enjoyed her and the food is delicious she recommended the pickles and the pasta and both were great I will say the southwest pasta sauce is different but it's still good
Came here for the first time yesterday just to shoot some pool. The pool tables, in my opinion, should be relocated to a different area. Every single time we went to shoot we had to pause because a child was running by with no supervision or someone was walking by. At one point one kid even attempted to sit on the pool table we were playing on. Two kids who were apparently siblings grabbed our pool balls and threw them into the corner pockets on 2 different games. I know this isn't the facility's fault but
The staff was amazing. Even the chef came out to make sure the drink my lady had gotten was up to her liking. This is a great place and has a lot to offer.
Cast party for daughter's play. Everyone was nice. Live band. Food was good. A good place to gather, watch a game, listen to live music, play arcade games and just relax and enjoy
My family and I can't help but be in love with all aspects of Mulligans, our waitress provided wonderful service, she was prompt, kind and knowledgeable about the menu and helped more than one of us with customizations for food allergies and taste. My husband was so thrilled with his dinner, a BBQ burger, that he even asked to speak to the chef to give them a compliment in person, which was well received and well earned as my husband is pickier than any of our kids when it comes to food. The arcade has a
1st visit: food was bad. All of our food was bad. The service was ok but the staff seemed unhappy. There was karaoke. It was so loud that we could not hear each other talk. 2nd visit: ordered burgers and sandwiches. They were good. This time the server was horrid. She sat by the wall the whole time and was not busy. We still had to get her attention for drink refills and our bill. The golf simulator was very fun and affordable. We will go back 1 more time because we need our local restaurants to be succes
ATMOSPHERE: The 21st-century minimalist decor totally negated any notion of Emerald Isle atmosphere. We (3) were there on a quiet Wednesday evening with only about 1/4 of the tables occupied but the music was blasting like it was a crowded Saturday night. SERVICE: Our server was pleasant, quick to greet us with menus, and appeared promptly with the check when we were finished. FOOD: Our orders arrived surprisingly quickly. Perhaps too quickly - because all of us noted that the food was warm, but not hot.
New place with great bar and atmosphere. Can't wait for more items to be added to the menu. Wings were very good.
Good location for groups as we enjoyed an anniversary dinner with friends here and then went over to the comedyworx show afterward...worked out great! They have a lot of parking, the service was really good, and the food selection suited was for a variety of palates. The only thing I'm unsure of is why the large patio area seemed inaccessible? We will definitely plan other outings here.
The food was good. It wasn't great but nothing wrong with it. The service left a lot to be desired. We went twice. The first time service started pretty good but then our server got a large party (20 people) and we never got more drinks and it took 25min to get the check and we had to be more direct than I'd prefer to get it. This afternoon we went in and it was slow. We sat at the bar to give it the best chance because we wanted to like the place. We ordered a pitcher of the on sale beer and asked for
Scotch eggs are super yummy! Drinks are also fun and delicious; we can recommend the shank and the shark. On Friday nights, they have bands and their usual entertainment. It's a great restaurant for families.
My family loves this place! The food and service is amazing! Everyone is so nice and friendly. The arcade is so much fun! This is definitely our new spot!
Good selection of both bottled and draught beer. There were plenty of staff ready to answer any questions. Jordan was an excellent server! Daily food and drink specials. Sunday is hotdogs with french fries or tater tots, hotdogs were wonderful. Wings were also good, the mesquite dry rub was excellent. A dude with a parrot was seated at the bar, even made a trip or two to the bathroom. Parrot also posed for a photo op with some kids. Just not so sure about a bird in a restaurant. Probably somewhere between 8
We loved the service. Our server was awesome, and down to earth. The kids loved the arcade. I loved playing pool. My little one especially loved the "play until you win" claw games. And the food was delicious ??
What a great place to take grandsons. Do a little ax throwing while eating lunch. I have not tried the arcade side yet but looking forward to doing that next. The food is very very good. The restrooms are clean and the service is excellent. I like that they have a variety of salads being a vegetarian.
I'm currently at mulligans as I'm writing this. But I had to say their grilled chicken is the best chicken I've ever had and the service is absolutely amazing my waitress Suzanne made sure my group was very happy I would most definitely be recommending this place to everyone
A space place for children and adults, You can spend a very pleasant afternoon and plan a meeting with friends.
First time there. Will definitely go back. Great beer selection. Good food great service.
The food was good. They have an arcade, so there were a few kids there. Service was excellent. Will go again.
Pretzels and beer cheese are amazing. Arcade is a bit smaller than we thought but the food is excellent
We had a 50th birthday party here on 8/14. We ordered food from the catering menu and it was fantastic. Jen took great care of us before and during our event. The servers assigned to us went above and beyond. Everyone was so accommodating and attentive. We will be back over and over and highly recommend for drinks, dinner or events!
Anti gun establishment - would not recommend. And they don't like smokers - they have very fluid and ambiguous smoking rules. Not laid back at all.
This place is a JOKE. Food Sucks...Service Sucks. Spent $15.00 in drinks for 3 people because no free refills. EVEN charged me for a kids refill. Also...they charge a "service fee" for crappy service. Don't waste your time or money. Oh...and the arcade games are pure trash.
This newly built restaurant/bar/arcade is great place to see some great local bands playing here recently. The staff is very attentive. I sat at the bar and did not try any food. However, I had six draft beers. The total tab was $67.15 which included a $10 tip. The tab included a service charge of about $2. I ordered a black velvet which is 1/2 Guinness and 1/2 cider, which came to $12. $12 for a pint, not a mixed drink! The other beers were about $8 each plus tax. This was insulting, I did not ex
The website says join us for memorial day 11am-12am. Get here for lunch 1145 no one is here. Wild to have that on the event page.
We only had drinks and listened to the band, 80's Unleashed, that were totally awesome. Such talent, lead vocalist even did Queens Radio Ga Ga. Service was excellent. Will be back to try food soon!
Love the vibe of this place compared to similar venues, as well as really good prices.
Second time I've been for a quarterly meeting that is hosted there. Food and service have been great both times and we have a large group. Would recommend.
We had our staff Xmas party here and everything was fantastic. Katelyn and Robert took great care of us! Will definitely be back!
The menu is extensive. Something for everyone. I highly recommend the scallops on the appetizer menu. Open and airy inside, reasonable seating outside as well. Plenty of TVs to watch your favorite teams. The normal arcade games off from the dining area on one side and hatchet throwing on the other side. A large bar in the middle.
We had a great experience for our first time coming here. The food was delicious. The service was fast and friendly. The hostess Teresa even took the time to give me a tour before the rest of my group arrived. Axe throwing was fun and the staff was nice and attentive.
My son and I were the first ones in today and everything was fantastic. The food was delicious and the service was super friendly, attentive and fast. I usually have to salt, pepper or condiment something when I go out to eat, but the food was perfect. They also have a very good selection and variety of games, so we will definitely be back. The only complaint I have is they only play ?Bro Country?. But I can't deduct points for that. No matter how terrible it is. ??
We've been here twice and have left both times feeling underwhelmed. Food is overpriced for what it is. It's plated nicely but portions are small and the quality is only slightly above average (if I'm being generous) Entire staff is devoid of enthusiasm. The kids pizza was spicy and our kids couldn't eat it. I appreciate that this place tries to offer something for everyone with a small but decent arcade on one side and axethrowing/v-golf on the other; the bar area is impressively large. If you just want t
Went here for trivia night. Quite fun! Food is good. A little pricy in my mind, but not out of the ordinary. Large bar, lots of tvs, big arcade and ax throwing. There may be pool tables.
Food was very good! Live music can be pretty loud either the arcade too
Pros: Been here a few times and the food is always good, the staff is very attentive, and their specialty cocktails are delightful! Cons: There's not much in the way of acoustic buffering, so it can get pretty loud, especially on nights with live music.
Arcade games are over expensive and hardly have 3-4 good games. Not worth the money.
Awesome place! Great servers and bar tenders. This is the place to be at on the weekends
Great food, Great service and fun place to be! Lots to do with family & friends! You'll LOVE it!!!
I have never had more fun watching Karaoke!!!Also, extremely good prices for both food and drink. I enjoyed several spicy Bloody Marys and took some food to go, which was outstanding. The bartender was very attentive and she always checked in on everyone around the bar regularly. Mulligans was definitely the highlight of my business trip! I truly hope to go back in the future and enjoy another karaoke night!!
Such a cool place to hang out at, came here for the first time for a birthday party and it was a ton of fun! Definitely coming back.
We went here because it is dog friendly and the arcade. The service was great, and we never waited for anything. I was the only one who didn't like the food. Boneless wings were overcooked and hard, but the onion rings made up for it they were amazing.
Updated since move. Food was great when reopened and out of the almost 20 times we have eaten there since, it slowly has faded. The Fish n Chips is only meal I get and its quality changes from a 3/10 to 9/10. The fries 3/10 to 7/10 these days. I suspect an overloaded kitchen. Family's food is always overcooked. Ask for rare and you still can get well done. Fries and chicken tenders have been dry. Flavors are still there, presentation is still there, and the front staff is really good considering the young
We are willing to give it another try. That said, the food was good, but not great. The service was okay, but slow. The atmosphere is cool. I do want to go back for axe throwing, which is in a separate room. The arcade would definitely entertain kids while waiting for food, but is separated by a wall, so it's not loud. Again...I would be willing to try the food again, but don't expect amazing quality.
I like going Sunday afternoon because they have live singers. Also, the service is great.
This is a great place to eat, drink, and play some games. They also have live music every Friday and Saturday nights.
Went here for new years, VERY EXPENSIVE but worth the money for the food. Games are fun but some weren't working right, free champagne at midnight!
Food was marginal to poor. Interested in talking to the manager but would not talk to us! Just interested in a mulligans t shirt. I guess no surprise the place was essentially empty! Added. Mostly disappointed that manager refused to talk to us. Felt like a bother! Food example. Chicken tenders were not chicken tenders. We're McDonald?s grade. Sorry. Expected more.
The company Christmas party was held here. The food, service, and staff were amazing. Chucking hatchets is always a riot!! 10/10 would recommend!!!
UPDATE: Went there on Game Day, got the wings special. Excellent wings. Highly recommended. Also recommend the Pretzel Planks and the Kettle Chips. I'll be back next game day! ORIGINAL POST: Went there for lunch, they had the NFL Sunday Ticket so I'll be back to see the Bills, but won't go back for the burgers or sandwiches. I had a very dry burger and my wife had a cold club sandwich, but the bread was toasted... The wings looked good, and the people eating them looked satisfied so I want to try th
Enjoyed coming over for bike night. If you watch your card like I do, they put a hold if you open a tab so just be aware of that and don't freak out like I did. Loved the DJ playing music bingo, axe throwing was cool to watch, I didn't make it back to the arcade. Will have to visit again. Great accommodations on the parking.
Went for a birthday party, group of 25. Food was great and Hot. Service was good, only one small issue with food but not the quality. Going to be a favorite place for my family to dine. Prices are reasonable as well. We really had a Wonderful experience here.
Went there for the food and karaoke. Both were great and,our waitress, Kaitlyn, was outstanding, as always.
Kids had a great time playing games. Menu was typical bar food and portions were good
We only hit the arcade area, but the kids had a great time playing.
The food and service has never disappointed!!! Our favorite local place to eat.
A lot of fun for the whole family!! The food, service and atmosphere were wonderful. The games were pretty fun too. My favorite was the ax throwing! Great place to host any event! Had a blast!
Waitress took our drink order. Wife got water, I ordered an old fashioned. Brought our drinks and took our order. Ordered the egg rolls for appetizer and our meal. I requested her to bring me a water when she could. Waited 45 minutes for our food and they brought out our appetizer the same time as our meal. Waitress never checked on us during that time. My wife went to the bar to get me a water. 10 minutes after our food finally showed up she comes and checks on us and says ?sorry the appetizers came out at
Awesome food and drinks. Wish there were more beer choices, but we found something to quench or thirst! I reported in Google maps that the place was closed as the directions let us to what I think may have been their old location. Glad we found it! Not happy about the 3% service fee!
It's a shame. The food here was amazing but we will NOT be back as when you get the check they are charging you a bogus "service fee" of 3% of your check. The receipt says if you pay cash you get a 3% discount. They are passing on debit card/credit card fees to you (without your knowledge, consent, and asduming you are psying that way.) BUT there is no mention of this on the website or in the menu as there is with the mandated service charge of 18% gratuity for large parties. I asked the hostess up front a
Attended a party. Food was cold when they brought it out, food ran out and wasn't replaced. Sweet tea ran out. First time. Will give it another chance maybe.
I can't say enough good things about Mulligans. We reserved one of the rooms in the back beside the arcade for my son's birthday party, and it was a big success. Our waitress was amazing...she stayed with us the entire time we were there and constantly checked in with everyone in our group. All the kids enjoyed the games and prizes in the arcade and the food was excellent. If you haven't already, make this place one of your next outings.
Everything was great , Only thing I would say is they need a cushion on the bench seat. Other than that , everything was great
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Yes, pool tables in arcades remain a fantastic draw in 2025! Games like 8-ball or 9-ball offer tactile, skill-based fun that blends strategy and precision. Modern tables feature smooth felt, responsive cues, and vibrant designs, enhancing the classic experience. Arcades foster a social vibe with casual matches or competitive tournaments, appealing to all skill levels. Unlike digital games, pool’s physicality—lining up shots, feeling the cue’s weight—keeps it timeless.
