Emerald Isle

★ 4.1 / 5 (254 reviews)

At this newly owned restaurant, diners find a mixed bag of experiences. While some dishes, like the pork tenderloin and chicken wings, receive high praise for their flavor and generous portions, others report slower service and inconsistent quality. The atmosphere is often described as welcoming, akin to a local hangout, though the establishment can get busy during peak times. With a strong emphasis on comfort food and a few cash-only policies, it’s a spot worth considering, especially for those craving classic American fare like burgers and tenderloins. However, potential patrons should check operating hours beforehand to avoid disappointment.

Kind of like what Cheers was. Go where everyone knows your name! Just a great place to go to hang out with friends. Wings are great, the tacos are awesome, and the burgers are phenomenal!
