Irish Pub & Fish & Chips Inc - Titusville (FL)

1 /5 Joker Chaos (JokerFactor): I tried this Irish pub because I wanted a good meal. What I got instead was a seventy two dollar lesson in regret. The burger cost $15 and came with exactly zero seasoning. I did not know it was possible for meat to taste both old and like cornmeal at the same time, but they pulled it off. The French Dip was another surprise. It somehow tasted worse than the version at Arby’s, and Arby’s charges a fraction of the price. That alone deserves a trophy for disappointment. The Queso Dip was not queso. It was cheddar soup with mystery meat dropped in. If this is what Ireland serves, someone should check on their cows. The onion rings had so much batter that the onions inside gave up and turned to mush. The best part of the meal was throwing it away, because at least the trash can did not complain about the flavor. One star. I would give zero if the app allowed it.

4 /5 Big Boy Dining Out: The Irish Pub and Eatery 125 Harrison St. Titusville, FL 32780 4- Stars Irish fare is a specific type of food, you either love it or you dont. Obviously, our dour server today, Brittany, does not as she ordered a pizza to be delivered for her lunch. Could this be a possible indictment of the food? Time will tell. I asked Brittany for one Irish Sampler Pick 5 with Bangers & Mash, Fish & Chips, Corned Beef & Cabbage, Irish Stew, and traditional Shepherds Pie (in truth, it is Cottage Pie as it is made with ground beef, not lamb, but I nit-pick). It wasnt all that long before cantankerous Brittany returned laden with my Irish feast. There must have been an avoirdupois and a half worth of food in her arms, if not more. What a feast! The first to do the Riverdance on the Big Boys taste buds was the ever-popular UK dish of Bangers & Mash. What I was served is basically a hot dog with mashed potatoes. While Bangers are not seasoned like your typical hot dog, they look similar. This was a tad mushy, as Bangers are, and somewhat bland, as UK food is known to be. The mash was average. Moving on to the famous UK dish—and, in the opinion of most, the only thing they do well—Fish and Chips. This was superb. The fish was hand-battered and deep-fried to perfection. The chips were done to par, and the house-made coleslaw was bursting with flavor. Forcing myself to forgo more cod, I moved on to the everyday Irish dish of Corned Beef and cabbage. This dish is as traditional in the Emerald Isle as legends of the wee folk. However, most Americans only eat it on the day the whole world becomes Irish, St. Patricks Day. I found this version of the standard Celtic dish tasty. The corned beef was properly seasoned and so tender that it practically melted in my mouth. The cabbage was also well seasoned and cooked with obvious care. I then turned my palate to the Irish Stew. One spoonful and I knew we had a winner. Slow-cooked beef, potatoes, and onions swimming in a hearty beef stock—this was very good. The toasted rye bread was a nice touch and added a taste complement to the stews seasoning, which I found quite delightful. This brings me to the last dish in my Irish Sampler to be appraised, the most famous Irish dish of them all, Shepherds Pie. As I stated above, unless it is made with ground lamb, it is NOT technically Shepherds Pie (blame America for this misnomer). As this was made with ground beef, it was actually Cottage Pie, but again, I am splitting hairs. This was made correctly, seasoned scrumptiously and cooked to perfection. All in all, this was a great way to end my sampling of their Irish Cuisine. The Big Boy says, “This was pretty good; you could do much worse. Just dont order the Banger (unless you like bland mushy things).

3 /5 A G: Nice beer choices unfortunately our choice was not very cold almost warm. Bar was a basic bar, did not eat. While enjoying the outdoor seating we had to move to avoid the smokers and then left when people started bring a bunch of kids. Bars are not places for kids and adults who go to bars dont want to tolerate unparented, running around kids. Pricey taps.

5 /5 Sandi Bissell: Had the little "dive bar" atmosphere, which was great. Beer battered everything, so you know that was going to be good; however, I veered off and had the best open face pot roast sandwich over mashed with the best flavored gravy, not just a brown soup! My home skillets chose the shrimp and cod plates which looked phenomenal. They confirmed it was true. Amanda was not only a great cook, but kewl person. The owners gf, Audrey was very personable as well. We will be going back before going home.
