An Poitin Stil

"Hadn't been at The Stil for years. I'd always enjoyed sitting down with a Guinness and beginning my meal with brown Irish bread and honeyed butter. No bread offered this time around. My serving of chicken was meager and dry, the plate was 2/3 full of white rice (no spices or sauce, tasteless), the string beans were good. The place appears weatherworn and dirty. The wife of an Irishman who was part of our party of 8, scoffed at the "authentic artifacts" decorating the walls. Sad, I really had some good memories of my times at The Stil."

"Started with a recommendation from a friend. Drove by didn’t see but 2 cars on the lot so we called to make sure they were open, nobody answered so we just went inside. It was absolutely freezing inside, the entire place was dusty, moldy, and covered in cobwebs. It really looks like they gave up years ago, like this place used to be busy years ago. The service was not great either. We were the ONLY table in the place and the waitress didn’t offer us water or bus our appetizer plates. She never checked on us or offered us refills. I had to get up and find her whenever we needed anything. Then the food came, my wife’s sandwich was actually pretty good, by my burger was an underdone sloppy mess. Would not recommend without access to a Time Machine."

"Food was tasty, although I find myself regularly wishing there was some lighter lunch fare available. (Usually after eating too much...) Lunch crowd was light, so no hostess which meant a bit of an initial wait. The building is a bit chilly before the crowds show up, so bring a sweater or sit close to the fireplace."

"My fiancé and I came here for traditional Irish pub food. We drove 50 minutes to try this place. We ordered the Irish nachos (they’re $6 during Friday’s happy hour). We added corned beef to it. It was good. We each ordered a shepherd’s pie. I was actually very disappointed. It was a ton of gravy. I had one piece of beef in my entire dish. And two pieces of fat chewy gristle. Tons of shallots in it. I expected it to have a lot more vegetables (such as peas and carrots) and meat and mashed potatoes. It had a very thin layer or mashed potatoes on top. Small amount of peas. No carrots. I like my shepherds pie full of veggies, meat and mashed potatoes. I think it is a hearty meal. This was mostly gravy soup with a super thin layer of mashed potatoes and a few peas. Maybe I got a bad batch. I read other shepherds pie reviews before coming here and everyone was bragging about it. I’m sad that I can’t say the same. It was $19 for one shepherds pie. What I received wasn’t worth $19 at all. However, their chocolate lava cake was good. My fiancé only ordered it because we were still hungry and disappointed in our shepherds pie. The waitress was awesome and the atmosphere was cool. Kinda medieval/skyrim vibe."

"So glad we stopped in! Friend was visiting from out of town, needed a bite and a nice drink, and I've always loved the atmosphere and food. Had a great time, food was amazing, our bartender was awesome...and yes, the chicken fingers owned up to their title! Definitely a great start to our evening and would highly recommend. We'll certainly back!"
