Erin's Snug Irish Pub Review

I can only say it didn t get five stars because I have a hard time with suburban-esque pubs in business parks. Why? I dunno. Good service and food. Beat expectations in most every way. Don t hesitate to visit!

Fantastic food, service, attention to detail in environment.

My mom and I, neither very hungry, shared a bowl of the Guinness soup. It was the perfect amount, because it was so rich and hearty. My family also ordered the Bailey's cheesecake and Guinness chocolate cake (I believe that's what it's called) and they were phenomenal! Huge slices and delicious! The cake is definitely fit to split. The building is gorgeous, with leather couches and fireplaces, and a true fine pub feel. I give it 4 stars because there weren't many "light" options, but it is an Irish pub! Definitely recommend.

Came for a celebration for a colleague. It was the mid-end of the work day on a Monday. Friendly staff, a little overpriced though.

Great food, great service, and an awesome environment! Kid friendly, family friendly. Love going there everytime we make a trip to Cabela's!

Food was great but got over charged for a watered down bear and the live bad refused to take my request even though they said that were taking requests. I asked if they could play something irish like whiskey in the jar or the wild Rover as it was an Irish bar and the day before saint Patrick's day. I was told that they didn't know any besides the one they played at the beginning of their set despite being dressed like leprechauns. An Irish bar that doesn't play Irish music at all let alone near saint Patrick's day is false advertising. Nothing Irish about this place but the name and decor

Very inviting -great service, food and acomidations.

Great restaurant convenient for meetings and celebrations.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. The food was delicious, and my server was excellent.

Waited for over an hour for food. And 30 minutes to order.

This was a wonderful venue! We went for a rehearsal dinner and the staff was nice and the food tasty! Such a fun place!

We just moved to the area, literally today! We stopped in as my girlfriend is Irish and it was near where we moved. Best service/food and overall experience at a restaurant in the Madison area, ever!! Out waiter Joe was on point and never let our glass get below half. An outstanding experience and the best potato s skins ever. Strongly recommend going here, and we will be back. Thank you for the true 5 star experience!

Good food, great atmosphere. I had the bangers and mash. The bangers had great flavor. The outdoor bar is very nice.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. One of my favorite places in Madison.

We were traveling through on I 90 and needed to stop for dinner. In these days of Covid, we still avoid eating at restaurants so we ordered take-out over the phone. The hostess who took our order was very friendly and helpful with our various substitutions. I had their Philly Cheese Steak and my wife had a Reuben. Both were delicious!! The Cheese Steak was on an Italian Hoagie roll that was super fresh, light and the perfect compliment to the shaved steak, peppers, onions and cheese. My wife's Reuben was close to perfect, we like it a little juicier and should have asked for a little extra Thousand Island dressing, but it was still a very good sandwich. We will be sure to stop again when traveling through next time.

The employees did a great job with their social distancing and mask/glove wearing. They have and outside bar and eating area and plenty of room inside the building if you are inclined to eat there.

OMG, My Wife and I love this place! Great food and the atmosphere is spot on! Well worth the price and the 2hr (1 way ) drive for us! MAYBE we'll take the kids next time. ...;-)

Food and drinks are superb. Place is nicely decorated as well. Great experience.

The waitress was wonderful! We got the Riesling wine from Germany, which was really good. Such a great atmosphere. 100% would go again. Not my favorite cheese curds in the Madison area, but they were good.

3.5 stars. Good beer selection. Enjoy a good black and tan. Appetizer menu is strong: try the wings. The food menu is solid but just doesn't strike me as great, just average.

Place is overpriced and food is mediocre. Were coming here for the all you can eat fish fry, but they got rid of it and now it's like 15 bucks for 3 small pieces of ok fish. Lost a couple regular customers tonight

We had a new waiter who was a little slow but the food was amazing.

Extremely popular Irish-themed pub on the far north side with plenty of seating. Plenty of dark wood and stone give the venue a castle-like feel. The Reuben Sandwich I ordered for lunch was less than memorable. The sandwich needed more time on the griddle, more sear on the chipped pastrami and had far too much thousand island dressing. The sweet potato fries were on the salty side.

We ordered takeout for restaurant week and everything was amazing. Friendly, helpful service over the phone and the smoothest curbside pickup ever. My husband got the smothered ribeye and he couldn t stop raving about it. I got the seafood skewers and risotto which were just what I was looking for. We re saving dessert for once our kids are in bed but both the brandy bread pudding and the Irish creme cheesecake look like they ll be to die for!!

Great food and service. From Irish beers to super Irish Sheppard's pie and cornbeef and cabbage. Enjoyed the evening.

Best service I've had in a very long time, along with a wide variety of drinks and great tasting food!!!

Nice place and great food! Very minor mistakes on food a couple of times, but they compensated and remade food.

Great place to go to when I'm out of town it is close the the motels

Decent enough. Service was great. Food felt a bit overpriced.

Food was ok but it was to loud to talk to other people at the table

The smallest portion of fish for the baked fish that I ve ever seen at a restaurant. Two small pieces, it took me 4 bites to eat all of it no joke. $15 for that??

The patio is really nice in the summer. This place has a bit more of an upscale feel without upscale prices. Great bloody Mary's and I would recommend the Reuben quesadillas!

The atmosphere is nice here. The food is good, they have a large selection of drinks and the staff was friendly. The Salmon I had was lacking some flavor and was okay. I don't remember the full name, but the Bourbon Barrel drink that I had was good. I'm not a big fan of the appetizers priced the same as some meals. I think they should cut the sizes and price in half.

Great atmosphere. Haven't tried the food, but the beer selection is amazing. Try Erin's Ale, you won't be disappointed.

Great menu food was of higher quality and service was friendly. The place was busy, the wait wasn't bad. Very clean.
Decor is interesting.

This place has great atmosphere, cold Guinness, and the corned beef and cabbage was delicious.

Food was really great but the staff was not. We waited about 15 minutes at the bar before someone came over to wait on us and then when we were seated we waited forever to get a waitress who never even brought silverware. It s unfortunate because the food was delicious

This place definitely has the atmosphere nailed - it's a mood setter in here, no doubt about it. We chose this restaurant because there was no wait on a Friday night compared to other options. As it wasn't too busy, the food came out pretty quickly, and I would agree that the server was accommodating and courteous, however the food itself was unfortunately pretty bland across all dishes ordered.

The best thing we ordered was the brisket sandwich, which was probably better than average, but I think the rest of the food brought this place to a very standard rating overall. Perhaps I'll come back for drinks and skip the food!

Loved the pub. Exellant food, service & atmosphere.

Awesome atmosphere. Looking forward to my next visit.

My wife and I went in at around noon on Thursday. Business was slow and we sat at the bar. The bar tender walks near us twice but never spoke o acknowledged us. So we decided to try to get a table but no one even lookelooked our way so we left.

We got into town late for a wedding and wanted to grab supper around 8 pm. Erin's was close to our hotel and had solid reviews. Our meals left much to be desired. My wife and I both ordered steaks which may have been our first mistake at an Irish pub.

The entire meal was cold which consisted of baked potatoes, veggies, and steaks. It tasted like it had been sitting in a warmer all day, bland all around. Our plates were also completely mixed up which was the least of our issues. Being later, it was not very busy so the speed of service and the server were good.

The food was simply not good especially for the price. Poor execution in the kitchen. If you want a steak, go to Texas Roadhouse down the road.

Food was very good. Wait staff exceptional. Atmosphere pleasant Irish. Highly recommend!

Food is above average, but i have never had a quick meal at this location. If you have 90 minutes for lunch, you wont be disappointed.

Food was ok, but overall each dish had way too much salt. I had a difficult time eating my Guinness stew because it was so salty and left the majority of it.

1st time here. Great food and atmosphere. Will definitely be back

Yeah. Not bad except the bartender Adam who hates kids or anyone who isn't a woman or anyone who wants to be served.
Too bad, maybe monks up the street will accommodate kids and family

Had the Irish stew, quite good! Nice atmosphere, good menu, average prices.

The food was delicious. The service was not great. Our appetizer arrived minutes before our main dish, but after our salads, and was barely warm. We also never head our drinks refilled, which was disappointing. The shepherds pie was delicious, though, and the atmosphere is great.

One of the best corned beef sandwiches I've ever had.

The ambience is really good and I would recommend this place to any one in Madison or sun prairie

This place has a great atmosphere and a large drink and dinner menu! I was impressed with the experience and would definitely go again in the future! I had the Bangers and Mash which was delicious and the Nutty Irishman drink!

Great Reuben sandwich, quaint areas throughout restaurant. Black and Tan in a true pint glass!

Great food, great bar with an excellent outdoor area / additional bar. A little pricey, but all around a good choice for lunch, dinner, and/or drinks.

Great first date spot, quiet bar good drinks and food

Good food, Nice dining room. Friendly staff. I use this restaurant for business lunches.

Awesome ribs. I know, at an Irish pub? Hey, they rocked. Great service.

My wife and I had a GREAT dining experience at Erin's Snug recently. Not only was ALL the food we ate was awesome, but the drinks were top notch and Becca our waitress was polite, great personality and on top of things. She did a great job ! Had the Cod dinner and was one of the best I have had in years from anywhere. Best tarter sauce around. Onion soup was absolutely fabulous. My wife had a steak and it was cooked to her exact standards. Yes, my wife is picky ! I must say, I have no complaints. We will be back.

Fun atmosphere. St. Patrick's day was a blast here. The salmon was delicious. Bit on the pricy side but you definitely get what you pay for.

I have to say this was one of my favorite places to visit up until my experience 2 weeks ago. I attempted to contact management before this review went public but clearly the customer experience is no longer a concern for them. My family and I stopped in for lunch and was seated right away. We waited for 10 minutes until I went to the bar to try and order drinks. At that time our waitress, who I will not name in case she was having a bad day, said I will be right with you. 5 minutes later she approached our table and said, "I have other tables to help too, what would you like." We ordered and after our food was delivered she stated, "see how far some patience can go, the food comes out quick." As a business director, if one of my employees treated a customer like that, I would not have a team. Again, I get it if people have bad days but a simple apology for a delay would have gone a long way. For the sake of the business, I hope the customer service picks up in all categories as there are now better places to get a Guinness that me and my family will be visiting in the future.

The atmosphere of this restaurant was better than any other Irish themed place I've been. The food was good but a little overpriced. The French onion soup was amazing. The Guinness stew was good, very flavorful. The corned beef and cabbage was good but too salty for my taste. I like that the Irish dishes were prepared more authentically than other places. The corned beef was prepared with carrots, celery, parsnips (I think), and very few potatoes. The shepherd's pie actually has lamb in it. I will go back because there is a lot more to their menu. Worth a second shot.

Food was decent, and waitress was great.
However, i ordered the beef stew and they put chili powder in it... Like it tasted like a bowl of chili from wendys. Very disappointing when you bite in to a potatoe or carrot and it tastes like chili. Every hit of it. Sad really...

Great atmosphere. Great drink selection. Awesome appetizers

Very good service and great variety of beers and food!

Good
Food

I love this place the food is amazing and my mother love the beer and my dad live the beer to OMG it's amazing
