Rí Rá Irish Pub 123 Church Street, Burlington, VT 05401

"Food was good don't get me wrong. But Irish food its not. Well at least the Irish food I've eaten in Ireland. Curry is not an Irish staple. Unless you're an implant. My cottage pie was based on hamburger meat not prime rib as stated and it tasted more of a chili than a good beef base, vegetables consisted of carrots and onions wasn't one pea to be found. It was very tasty but not what i expected. We loved the atmosphere. Plenty of laughs and fun. I'm certain all the other food items were delicious as well. I'll go back to try them. My wife's chicken curry was very good and plentiful. Fries were amazing . Very busy place and food quality was very good despite how busy they were. Just not traditional Irish. Let's say a good Irish base with an American twist. Rest assured you're meal is hot and delicious just the same. Enjoy"

"Our dinner at this restaurant was truly the worst food we have ever encountered. I think it was our mistake to choose this place for food, as it is located right near a college campus, and based on all the open space and limited tables inside, this looks like it is primarily a late-night spot whose only specialty is a Jack&Coke. We ordered chicken wings, chicken bites, and potato pancakes, which are all pretty difficult to mess up, but they were inedible and definitely not cooked correctly (see the extra pink chicken in my photo). We were not assigned a server and had to order at the bar. Bathrooms were disgusting (college bar), tables were sticky, and even the fountain soda tasted off. Worst part is that this place was expensive! Usually we can’t go wrong with an Irish pub, but I am pretty sure we would have been better off with any other restaurant in the area."

"Excellent Irish pub with amazing food. You can't go wrong with the grilled cheese. That apple in there...so amazing. Pub fries are seasoned well too. The Mac and cheese... holy cow it came from. The Vermont cheddar cannot be beat. Hope you're not lactose intolerant. Service is great. Food runners make sure your food comes out fresh and amazingly hot. Don't sleep on the chicken bites. Next time, I'll get them with wing sauce."

"The Ri Ra Irish Pub is a reasonably good place to stop in for a drink and something to eat. I enjoyed the Fiddlehead IPA they had on draft. The food was good as was the service. Would we stop in again if we were in Burlington, VT? Possibly."

"Good place to come grab a drink or bite to eat. Right on church street. Plenty of seats available inside, also great for large groups. They also had outside seating but it was filled up very quickly. You could wait if you wanted or just sit inside. The service was very slow. The chicken bites appetizers were very good, lightly breaded and delicious."
