I'll Be Back

by Bruguru Bruguru is a Lead on Epinions in Restaurants & Gourmet, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Dec 24 '05
Pros: Pleasant atmosphere, tasty food, great service.
Cons: None come to mind.
I don’t talk much about my job, but it is a rather demanding one. Working as a supervisor for a major manufacturer of medical equipment certainly pulls you in many directions, both trying to fill the needs of customers and our own engineers out in ...

Houlihan's Isn't for Hooligans

by quasar quasar is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Restaurants & Gourmet, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Nov 03 '06
Pros: nice atmosphere, meals come with soup or salad and potato and vegetable, decent service
Cons: food overly spiced, fatty steak, no more daily specials or combos
There used to be several Houlihan's in the Boston area but they all closed years ago. Frankly, I thought the entire chain went under. To my surprise, I encountered a Houlihan's in Pittsburgh. Although not my first choice, I wound up having dinner there ...

Party of Six

by jchapkovich , Apr 18 '05
Pros: Good selection of food and drink. Nice for family and couples too.
Cons: None
When my mother asked if it was ok to go to Houlihan's for my dad's birthday I was a little hesitant. Brian and I had gone there a few times a couple of years ago in Jenkintown and it was just plain awful...the food, the service..you name it. But it was ...

How many people does it take to figure out a $5.00 mistake?

by jo.com Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Feb 02 '07
Pros: Very pretty restaurant; good service.
Cons: My 5 shrimp cost a lot; couldn't figure out the computer mistake.
Information: I met a friend for an early lunch at Houlihan’s. The one I am reviewing is located in The Holiday Inn at 73 South Airport Boulevard, (formerly Wingate Inn), San Francisco, California. Houlihan's opened in 1972 and are in 23 ...

Houlihan's was a good choice for a casual dinner

by trailhound Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 01 '07
Pros: Large menu selection. Nice atmosphere. Decent prices and food.
Cons: Service got off to shaky start.
We were looking for a decent place to eat at suppertime recently, but we did not want anything too pricey, and didn't want fast-food either. Lucky for us a Houlihan's restaurant was close by and it fit the bill perfectly. Décor/Atmosphere ...

A long wait and cold food at Houlihan's

by whitty Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 09 '01
Pros: Some of the food is ok; it's cheap
Cons: seating is slow; service is slow; not-kid friendly; cold food

Last Saturday, my husband and I went to dinner at Houlihan's with friends who have three children. The particular Houlihan's that we went to is the Houlihan's located in the Exton Mall in Exton, Pennsylvania. We were looking for a restaurant in...

A Kid Friendly Restaurant? Your Joking?

by smh32775 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 22 '01
Pros: Great Prices, Great Food, Great Atmosphere!!
Cons: None as of yet
Last year, our town got a Houlihan's. I had never eaten at one before but had heard excellent things about them from a friend. I decided to try it one night. I took my sisters and 18 month old daughter out for dinner. I was extremely pleased with the...

Mini Desserts? That means I can have three! - Houlihan's

by chelledun Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Apr 10 '05
Pros: Great sandwiches, relaxing atmosphere
Cons: A little overpriced
Houlihan’s is a chain restaurant with locations in twenty states as well as Mexico. It has an old-fashioned ‘pub’ concept. I have visited the location in Indianapolis twice, and the one in South Bend, Indiana about a dozen times, for ...

Houlihan's -- A more upscale TGI Fridays with good prices

by gatorgirlie Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 04 '07
Pros: Great menu selection, excellent food, nice ambiance, good service, kid-friendly
Cons: A little pricier than TGI Fridays
In Orlando we don't have much in the way of "small, locally owned, great-food producing eateries." Unless, of course, you count the local steak houses and smaller chains like Charley's, Barney's or Flemings. While those are nice every few months or so, ...

Obviously, they are not concerned about the energy crisis

by buppy , Aug 07 '01
Pros: Excellent french fries
Cons: typical pub-chain style restaurant
I recently visited my future in-laws for a week in Pittsburgh, PA. After getting over illusions of becoming a steelwelder/dancer only to be discovered by a rich steel tycoon (Flashdance is one of my favorite movies) I learned there are very few...

Brooklyn Houlihan's is Full of Hooligans

by easterbradford , Jun 04 '06
Pros: Service was timely
Cons: Sub-par overpriced food, very loud and ghettoey clientele.
Houlihan's tries to present a very clear image. The decor, design and layout screams: "We are classy! Come be classy here!" Apparently an *image* of class was as far as the Houlihan's at Atlantic Center in Brooklyn decided to go with the concept. I ...

The House of Houli-horrors!!!

by thom413 , May 23 '01
Pros: Good service, decent food, fair prices.
Cons: Grubby, dusty, icky, phony contrived "atmosphere".
Okay, let's all start with the presumption that I'm a restaurant snob. It isn't true - I enjoy a gyro out of the wrapper on a NYC street corner as much as the next guy. But I will admit to being a bit spoiled by the plethora of decent-to-excellent...

Houlihan's: One Of The Best Chain Restaurants I've Encountered

by noangels Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 11 '08
Pros: Good food, excellent service, good atmosphere, decent prices
Cons: Food still not great quality, value is better at many independent restaurants
I am a big critic when it comes to chain restaurants. I always prefer to patronize local restaurants, where the food is often much higher quality and a better value. Independent chefs seem to put more care into the food they are preparing than the ...

A good balance of upscale and casual

by johnpnj , May 31 '07
Pros: English/Irish pub atmosphere, great food, attentive staff, average prices.
Cons: The salsa is pretty bad, long waits on weekends, there isn't one in every town.
Let me start this off by saying I may be perceived as a bit biased in my review. Also, this review is based on the Hoolihan's in New Brunswick, New Jersey, so Hoolihan's in other locations may vary in service, or quality of food. I'll explain the ...

When you need more hair in your diet

by martytdx Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Dec 17 '01
Pros: Food was actually pretty good
Cons: Service was abyssmal
It's that Christmas time again - a time of peace and love, of the sweet smell of eggnog, pine trees and a coming snow and to get out with family for a nice meal.

At least that was the plan.

We were going for the annual Christmas...
