Irish-style fixture with a patio offering beer, spirits & hearty fare like wings & seafood entrees.
You Need To Know? Arrived at 6 on a Friday night & we were greeted immediately & able to sit at a table. The staff worked well together & service was quick & drinks were cold & stiff. On this occasion we had the pan seared Ahi Tuna, a grilled chicken salad 🥗 and the Dudewitch which was marinated steak, onions on a bed of fries. Food was good & is worth a try if your in the Scranton area. Now You Know! -TBH
I haven't been to Andy Gavin's in years, and when my husband wanted clams at a local picnic, I preferred an atmosphere to sit down in. After conducting some research on what restaurants in the area serve clams, this was a great choice, as we've been frequenting many of the same restaurants for years and want to expand our go-to options. Ugh, not only disappointed, but almost angry at what was placed in front of us- a dozen clams each that could have been the size of nickels- if we were lucky, and the shells were small and thin. How can you charge customers this price and not be completely embarrassed?!? I mentioned this to the waitress, to which she responded, "Well, this is an appetizer." That's completely unacceptable. However, it's not the responsibility of the individual taking the order. Still, it is the responsibility of the person who does the ordering in the kitchen, and the person in charge of pricing. To be fair, I ordered a special, fish tacos, and although I cannot remember what type of fish, they were delicious. Look at the price of the clams in the photo! If the clams were worth it, it wouldn't have been a big deal. My husband def won't go here again. Do better! In these times, you need all of the repeat customers you can get!
Service was chaotic, disorganized, slow. Wing sauce (hot) was not good at all. Tasted like some weird sweet marinara sauce. Zero heat. I don't think hot sauce was involved in it at any point. The actual wing was cooked nicely. Music was good. Fix sauce and service = 4-5 stars.
Came for a quick beer and got the hummus appetizer. Nice local Irish bar in the neighborhood.
It's definitely a place where you'll wanna check off your, " I gotta investigate this place." I didn't get a chance to sample the food or drink, but for sure next time. It was a very inviting, friendly atmosphere, and had enough subtle happenings to keep you on your toes, and the staff that I encountered they couldn't have been more accommodating. We will go back. Thanks, Don.
