THE IRISH ROVER REVIEWS

We were looking for a fish sandwich and came across the Irish Rover. They have fish and chips which definitely lived up to its reputation. Portions were huge, My husband and I could’ve actually shared it and been comfortably full. I ended up taking half of my fish fillet home and popped it in the air fryer along with the fries the next day and it was just as good, believe it or not! The Scottish egg was definitely a must try And we were not sorry, it was Excellent. The historic building oozed with nostalgia and just like that, you imagined being at a pub in Ireland. The atmosphere was very laid-back, all age groups of people dinning out, The bar was super cool with almost every seat full. It was a little loud, it was around 3:30 in the afternoon on New Year’s Eve, but that’s to be expected. You could sit at the bar or at some tables around the bar, they have two additional rooms with Seating available… One room has a wood-burning fireplace providing perfect Ambience for relaxing and enjoying some of the best comfort food I’ve ever had. The wait staff was efficient, Very Knowledgeable and to the point, there was a very little time to be personable though. So if you’re in the area, go give it a try, and if you’re not in the area like us, make a special trip.

Wonderful atmosphere. They have a cosy booth for 2 facing out to the street (booth 26). So intimate and quiet. We enjoyed watching the cars on Frankfort Ave. Parking was a little bit of a chore since the lot was full on a Friday night, but side street was adequate. We had a Scottish egg and the cod fish. Fantastic. The chocolate cake was devine. Will come again.

Fabulous Irish pub. I had the fish and chips and Mom had the lamb stuffed cabbage. We also shared a cheese plate. We both agree that the lamb stuffed cabbage was the best! I don't know what magic they use to make their mashed potatoes but wow! We're definitely going to return.
