    Houlihan's In Holmdel.

    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!

    I've visited this Houlihan's twice since it's close to home. Once just for drinks and also for drinks and dinner. There is a lively atmosphere which I enjoyed. The food I sampled was good, but nothing special. In my opinion, Houlihan's is perfect for a...More

    One of my daughter's favorite restaurants.

    We go to this Houlihan's location quite often. I had the grilled chicken which was very good. The portions are a nice size and the service is always good.

    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.
