I have mixed feelings about this place. The bar is very comfortable, nice to sit and have a Guinness. They often have live music that is pleasant, not overwhelming. The restaurant serves Irish fare that is pretty average. The menu has a limited selection.

We had beer and hamburgers. Certain beers were on special for $3 and the hamburgers were very good. The location is great on Main St. in the historic area and we appreciated the open air area by the entrance.

Make your own burger to your specs. That is what the waitress told us. That was just one of the many things you could order. I had the prime rib which was a delicious treat along with a side of cole slaw. So much food took half home. Also ordered a specialty shake made with vanilla flavored vodka. That was really good. Waitress was very friendly. Our food came super quick. We liked the atmosphere and service. Next time weâll bring friends!!

Had a recent dinner at Sobelman's of Waukesha. Summary as follows:ATMOSPHERE: We liked the atmosphere of the place. Plenty of seating indoors, some outdoor seating and separate bar area with seating. It didn't have an old west theme, but that was kind of what it reminded us of.SERVICE: The service was friendly and on top of things like refills, check, etc.FOOD: The advertised specialty was burgers so that is what most in our group had. The burgers were decent size and a variety of regular and different burger compilations to chose from. The Burger was good, but several in our group were not fans of the bun. It was one of the large really bread rich buns - Far too much bread to burger in our opinion. The fries were tasty and received a decent portion. Another person in our group tried the fish sandwich and was also satisfied with the fish portion, but same issue with the bun. A nice feature is you could upgrade your fries to multiple appetizer options for $1.50 (not a bad deal if not into the fries). We did also get the large soft pretzel appetizer. It was ok, but only slightly better than one you would get at the stadium.PRICE: We found the pricing to be reasonable. The pretzel appetizer was about $5 and most burgers/sandwiches were $10 or under. We did not order any drinks, but from some of the signs around the bar, pricing seemed to be right in line for those as well.OVERALL, We didn't find it to be spectacular but it wasn't terrible either. It was just average. Would I go here again - yes I would not object to returning. Would it be my very first place to return to - probably not.

Always great food, drinks, and service when we visit. Friday night in particular I had the baked cod dinner which was delicious and not fishy at all, cooked perfectly! It came with melted butter and horseradish sauce which complemented well. My husband had the build your own grilled cheese on texas toast which he thoroughly enjoyed. They always have food and drink specials on different days and you'll never have a bad meal here. The servers are awesome! We'll definitely return for more delicious meals!

We had been here several times last summer when visiting friends and had been very happy, especially for the Friday Fishfry.This time we had a completely different experience.When we arrive with our grandson who's attending college in Waukesha, the place was less than 1/2 full. We were seated right away on the deck and handed menus. Our server said she'd be back for our drink order so we talked and reviewed the menu. It took a while for her to get back, but she got our drink orders and we said we'd be ready to order dinner when she came back. Again it took some time for drinks (iced tea & beer) to come back, and we ordered.When our food was delivered she immediately asked if we wanted more beer. The burger was just OK (buns were dried out), the Mac&Cheese burger was just a burger with a bunch of mac and cheese dumped on it, and my Cuban Sandwich was not at all what I expected. I've had Cuban's all over and love them but this was 1 thin slice of roast pork, 1 slice of ham, and some cheese on what appeared to be Hardtack. It was actually crunchy. When I asked about it the server said "That's the way our chef makes them".We decided to not make a fuss and ate. When it came time to get our check she seemed to have disappeared. so I went looking. I found her and she gave me the check and said she'd be right out to get it. 10 minutes later I took the check to the bar and paid.I don't know if there has been a change in management, staff, or policy, but the service we got that evening stunk! It seemed that when our server realized we weren't going to order more beer everytime she walked by, she forgot about us. Also, the food quality seems like there's a new "chef" and He/She really doesn't care about quality.We probably won't be back.

Before meeting our friends to listen to some music we found a nice bar & grille on Main street, We were seated at once and our drink orders were taken. My wife had a Moscow Mule and I had my usual. Bev ordered the Buffalo flat bread and I had the Friday Fish special. Both meals were good and plentiful. Service was very good but a bit noisy where we were seated but what would you expect at a bar on Friday evening. We felt is was a good choice by chance while in Waukesha.

Our family met at this beautiful restaurant for lunch on the patio. It was a beautiful day to be outside and with family. Unfortunately the wait staff left a lot to be desired. First we had to ask for menus...no, not everyone is there for the all you can eat Buffett. When asking what kind of hot tea was available, the waitress said..."oh I don't know, there is a while variety in a box." Hmmm...how about..."I'll bring out a box with a variety of teas for you."Waiting another 10-15 minutes, she finally comes back to take our order. Brings our drinks and meals...no problem except we have no silverware. Well, that took another 10-15 minutes by which time my brother-in-law finally had gotten up to get some eatting utensils for all of us. My sister in law has dietary restrictions so she asked what the sauce was made out of that came with her meal...no one seemed to know if it had any dairy in it...they would have to ask the chef...but he wasn't there! What?Next, a customer at a neighboring table asked there server a question to which he responded..."oh I'm out the door I'll pass that along to whoever is taking over. Really?It's unfortunate...it's a nice place and the food is fine. Probably won't go back for a while.Happytravelers80123, thank you for dining with us and taking the time to provide feedback regarding your experience. We sincerely apologize for the unacceptable service issues during your visit. Please know we have discussed the importance of paying better attention to all aspects of service with our entire staff.

After an arduous and long day of travel i ended in Waukesha. The hotel restaurant was closed and they recommended Taylorâs. The bar tender was great and friendly. He poured me a nice drink and gave me a food menu. I tried the crab Rangoon spring rolls; awesome! I also got the grilled cheese to go with the cucumber salad side. The salad was unexpectedly wonderful. The grilled cheese perfectly toasted.
