    Good Food & Service

    Usually don't have to wait long for seating. Go about 4:00 to 4:30. The Lemonade on a Summer Day hits the spot. Delicious. For Appetizer, the stuffed mushrooms are out of this world, delicious!!!! One of my favorites is the Reuben. Always a nice time...More

    Standard Fare

    Nothing special, but they execute their stand fare very well. Service was attentive. Food was fine and pretty much as expected. Steak Fajita was delicious. Petite filet was tasty.

    Food was Good, Service was Better

    Sometimes a server can make a simple dining experience special. For example, on a recent lunch at this Houlihan's, the food --- loaded nachos, salad, burger --- was fine. It more than met our expectations. However, our server, Elizabeth, brought something special to the table...More

    Family Friendly

    I love the atmosphere in here. Great for family, couples, business, etc. The bruschetta is by far my favorite appetizer. I could eat that whole plate. Amazing!

    Description
    Forget 'casual dining.' That's an industry term so out of touch with how consumers eat and drink today. For premium quality and style; fare that's at times familiar and other times adventurous and a laid-back modern setting, Houlihan's is a true original.
