Mccarthy's Pub - Port Clinton

The restaurant has an Irish pub theme that stands out compared to others. The poutine fries and Reuben sandwich were delicious! The service was excellent. Finding parking can be a bit challenging if you're not familiar with the area, but that's not really their fault. I will definitely return!

The Irish nachos are our favorite choice. Pair them with a tall Guinness, and you're set! However, the service can be inconsistent, and there is an extra charge for dining in.

We visited this restaurant after lunch on Sunday. The food was served in a timely manner and came out fresh and hot. I ordered the Faddy o Brad, which is a large hamburger sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches. My wife had the Clucker chicken sandwich, and my daughter ordered the chicken wings. If I had one complaint, it would be that all the fried items tasted a bit burnt, as though the fryer oil needed to be replaced. While it’s not a huge issue, I think it’s worth mentioning. Our total came to $90.00, including three sodas and a tip. It’s not the cheapest lunch, but I might consider coming back again.

I asked you young woman working at my hotel for a dinner recommendation, and she recommended this place. I arrived, and there was an event going on outside with the street closed, and a live band with lots of people. Not wanting to party, I decided to goinside. It wasn?t super busy with maybe half of the tables full. A young woman carrying a bundle of wrapped silverware seatedme, but before I sat down I saw that the table hadn?t been wiped off, so I asked someone to do that. Even after it was wipedoff, it wasn?t in the best condition. The finish was coming off, and the surface was still a little sticky. I found theatmosphere to be loud, but I suppose it wasn?t inappropriate for an Irish pub. My server came by and told me that he would beback after he took care of the large table that was nearby, and then if you want. It seemed a long time till he came back, but Ithink he may have been the only person serving tables. There was another young man milling around, but I think he was the busboy. I found the menu a little pricey. What isn?t these days? The local perch dinner was $33, but it looks like the best optionon the menu. It was served with their homemade potato chips and coleslaw, but I traded out the chips for tater tots. I can?t sayI was super impressed. The fish still had the skin on, and it was kind of tough along edges, and everything seemed greasy. Thetater tots were the frozen variety, and nothing to write home about. I?ve had far better better perch before. I was hungry andtired, so I ate it. By the time my server made it back to me I was ready for my check. I don?t think I would go back herepersonally, but I wouldn?t say the place was terrible.

The Irish nachos are our target, combining it with a high guinness and their business. Unfortunately, the service is hit or miss when they eat outside, there is a fee.
