Houlihan's

We made a visit to do a little happy hour on my birthday. We were pretty annoyed at first that the window blinds were broken and we were blinded by the sun blazing in (fix it please). Our waiter was really good and friendly so our annoyance went away pretty quickly. We did the burger, the spinach dip and truffle fries. All the food was good. Our waiter served us a free dessert since it was my birthday. His friendliness and willingness to serve us made this a good visit. Food and atmosphere were better than average but service was great.

Josie did a great job serving us Sunday with afternoon dinner. The Turkey club was very good I will get it again. It came sliced in 3 I ate the center and will have 2 more parts to take home still.

There is a "service" dog sitting at the bar in his own dog bed. So far, the bartender and one server have both hand fed the dog and petted the dog. Neither have washed afterwards. These definitely seem to be regular customers as the bartender knew the dog and couple. It’s one thing to have a service dog in the restaurant, another to have it sitting at the bar and the staff petting and feeding it. Do what you will with this info, but we felt it was pretty gross.

I personally have been back 3 times with my bestfriend for the past week and a half to eat because we are OBSESSED with the smoked gouda fritters! Please never get rid of them or we’ll cry😭 Our server Joe was great tonight & said you guys love to hear from us and will listen to things we LOVE

Toby was a badass. Hooked us up with great recommendations on meals and apps. Also kept our drinks topped off the whole time. Was extremely personable and interacted well with the kiddos. Definitely deserves a raise! It was also easy to set up the reservation and the table was ready right when we got to there, even with us being a few minutes early and the restaurant being busy. 10/10 recommend.

Madison was absolutely wonderful and made our entire experience. From the start, she was friendly, upbeat, and incredibly accommodating. I don’t eat dairy, and as I was ordering, she went above and beyond—coming back multiple times to let me know she had checked with her manager and discovered certain items contained milk, then helping me find great alternatives instead. No matter how many questions we had, she never seemed irritated or impatient. She genuinely sought out answers every time and always responded with the attitude that there was a solution. That level of care and attentiveness made us feel so taken care of. The food was delicious, and our drinks were amazing as well. Even though Madison isn’t old enough to drink herself, she helped us choose the perfect drinks for what we were looking for—clearly knowledgeable and thoughtful in her recommendations. Overall, an excellent experience thanks to Madison’s exceptional service. She truly went above and beyond, and we’ll absolutely be back!

Houlihan’s is a dependably good restaurant with a surprisingly varied and well-executed menu. Highlights included some of the best mashed potatoes I’ve had in a long time, and a chocolate dessert that was worth the trip itself. The service is always very good, and the ambience is well-suited to its nicely priced updated Americana menu.
