Mcgees Irish Pub Review

Very good, great service. Love having the option of a good place to eat, good service with drinks. So sick of all the fast food and chains in Anderson, this is definitely one my go to place from here on out. I certainly will be back. I highly recommend it.

Overall great experience. Good food, atmosphere, and service.

Great Great F&C's and perfectly presented Pint of Mothers Milk(Guinness)

Love going here for food or story telling. Just a great place to be. Great food and service. Bring your Scotts-Irish appetite

It's been a long while since I last visited McGee's. I took my wife and daughter for lunch recently, and found it seriously lacking in quality. The fish (and chips) was overcooked, and bland, and my wife's cheddar ranch fries were so greasy that she couldn't eat them. They've gone way up on their prices. $60, when you include the gratuity, is way too much for lunch for 3. It's sad. I really liked up to this place in the past. I hope that they can fix these issues.

Super place that knows how to take care of their customers

The owner is a genuinely cool person who will sit there and have a heart-to-heart conversation with you no problem. The food is next level for an Irish Pub. And the drinks are as good as I get. I'll always return to this Irish Pub when I'm visiting Anderson South Carolina. Soon they'll have an outdoor sitting area where you can enjoy a beer and a good meal.

Love this place. Good thing it's not in Michigan. .

Good food, good times. Waitstaff a little inattentive even though not packed. But still, they were very friendly.

This place used to be one of the best places to go in Anderson. I was so disappointed when we went back today. The food was good- a bit salty but that is a personal preference that I can't hold the cooks accountable to. The service left a lot to be desired. We asked about the Sunday brunch and were informed that they didn't do that anymore (yet there was an advertisement for it on the table??) and the only menu available was the main one. That's fine... then they were out of nearly all the beer selections they had listed on the menu. Ok- that's fine to maybe they are just between shipments... but all that in addition to music playing over speakers that were clearly blown, sticky tables/floors... this was not the McGee's I remembered and loved. Hoping that this was just a one time thing and isn't their new normal.

Food and service was great! The fish and chips and slaw is amazing and our server Coach was great!

Great food. I only been there once. Have live Irish sttle singing ,too.

This was our first time back in a long time but we got a very middle of the road experience. Food was not particularly striking though the french onion soup did impress. Most of our alcoholic drinks were not great but that's per taste. Overall we spent a lot of time waiting on service but our server was also the bartender for the whole restaurant. We were treated well but overall didn't enjoy our experience as we once did. I hope things pick up for them.

I tried to make a pick up order, and was told I had to come into the restaurant before they would start the order. Isn't a to go order intended to be convenient? Isn't the purpose of it to not sit there while your food is cooked? I asked why this was the case. I was told, "people make fake orders, and don't show up... Plus if we have to fry the food we can't reuse the product." Can't really tell you about the food, but I know they don't care much about their customers.

It was great, the food was delicious and Mike saw that we had every thing we needed.

Prompt & friendly service, nice atmosphere, & delicious food. We eat here every time we're in town & are never disappointed.

Happy Hour is a fantastic deal!!! (Hoping they can find a way to keep yuengling on tap however, they seem to be out way too often.)
Hoping the back patio gets some kind of work. Unattractive and hazardous holes in concrete.
Half price appetizer offers as well as entrees! Excellent!

Favorite place for a Guinness with bangers and mash

Just not my cup of tea on the culinary side of things. Been here a few times throughout the years and nothing really appeals to me. Wife likes it and rest of the family seem to like it but not my cup of tea.

Food and service were excellent. We had the shrimp and grits and cornbeef and cabbage both were great.

Atmosphere is that of an Irish pub. Dark wood, not bright lighting and Irish signs set the tone of the environment. The staff was friendly and attentive. Bar tender had only been there a month but provided well. The beautiful thing is they actually have irish beer! I ordered a blacksmith and got it with no questions asked and served a good one. Thier corn beef and cabbage is excellent. Mashed potatoes with finely cut cabbage over it topped with a good portion of fine tasting corn beef. Just the right amount of spices for me. This is a jewel in Anderson, SC and I'll be a regular.

The only thing good was the music tonight. Service was super slow had to repeatedly ask for ice for my tea. Every beer our party wanted they were out of. Asked for water never got it. Server was very scatter brained and over whelmed while other servers has no tables at all. Terribly ran in my opinion which would fall on their manager however im not sure if one was present never saw one if there was.

Great food, friendly service, fun friendly atmosphere

Great atmosphere and amazing food. The service is always on point. Absolutely, love this place!

I love the atmosphere here and everything I've tried has been delicious. Try the fried mushrooms!

Where do I begin? The service was outstanding, the atmosphere was perfection, and the goulash was literally to die for. The best goulash I ve had since I came back to the states from Poland! Highly recommend!!

Nice atmosphere. Kitchen was closed, but the drinks were good.

Friendly staff and delicious food! I tried the French Onion soup and the mister had the burger with an egg. Definitely try the zucchini vegetables in place of coleslaw! They were super good.

Fries were battered and great paired with ketchup, but the house made enchilada ranch was super good, too.

Sundays they have 1/2 price bottles of wine!

Long time patron, McGee' s NEVER disappoints. Our Waitress, perfection. Food? Stellar. Drinks? Perfect and always filled! Atmosphere? The BEST! THANK YOU MCGEES!

Best fried chicken
livers and bumble shoots ever!

Love love LOVE this place! The food, the service, the atmosphere.... totally awesome. We got the Smoked Salmon Carpaccio for an appetizer that was amazing. For our main meal we got the Shrimp and Grits, Irish Whiskey Steak (Bonnie Blue Style), and The Sinner pizza with bacon added. Everything was absolutely wonderful! You guys are killin it!

I had the swamp fox burger and it was the best burger I've had in quite sometime. It was cooked perfectly. My husband had the Reuben and loved it. The service and atmosphere was great, we will be back!

The Ruben is the best. Can't best the fries.
Great environment.

Great food, great staff, great atmosphere! This is one of our favorite places to dine

Relaxed environment good service and wonderful food!

Great food! Service was Great! I'm definitely going here again. Curry slaw was really good and the fish and chips.

Love the atmosphere and the food was amazing and unique flavors and combinations

Our experience at McGee's couldn't have been better. The service was first rate and very friendly. Food was excellent with a wonderful variety available even for kids. We were in town for a wedding close by and this place helped us to relax, eat an excellent meal and enjoy ourselves. Thank you guys so much for going above and beyond.

Outfreakingstanding Irish Whiskey Steak. Medium rare. French style green beans. A couple of Guinness and dragon eggs. Yum.

We always enjoy everything: the people, drink, food and atmosphere.

This place was a little off the big road but man was it a great find. The staff were prompt and polite, the food was very hot, fast and delicious(Shepard pie, shrimp and sauteed cabbage were all buuuu-anging) and drink selection was unreal, oh and price was well within reach too. You gotta check em out if ya don't know

Came here for a group event, the buffet was delicious and fresh tasting. The chicken apps were a favorite, I ate way more than my share.

A cozy and cool place. Seriously, the AC is lovely.

This place is worth visiting. They have large portions for convenient prices. Constantly neat and with fantastic vibes. Will come back again.

Do yourself a favor and go have some Beer Cheese Soup. I crave it! The food here is great and so is the service.

Very good fish and chips and Irish soda bread. I also enjoyed the Irish/Scottish decor.

Excellent food and service. John at the bar it great!!

Our first time here and will come back. We thought the food was quality and prepared just right and we felt we got our monies worth. The atmosphere was Irish as expected.

The fish and chips are amazing. Good stew. Just love it. Warms this Irish girls heart.

Food was delicious. Other than the waiter failed to put in my order for hush puppies.i really enjoyed the experience. The outside doesn t match the inside. Impressed by the back deck set up. Nice vibes.

Only one visit, but menu is awesome. Beer list could be way more crafty, but a few options are there.

I got The Sinner add bacon and chicken! It was amazing!

Love the food. Always some good entertainment on the weekends. One of my favorites.

Amazing food with authentic Irish home cooking. Was our first time there and had a real friendly environment.

The food, environment, and staff were exceptional. The prices are a little high, but fair. I had the whiskey stake and you could taste all the flavors beautifully.

Had the Guinness Pork Chop with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The sauce on the pork chop was tangy and complemented the entire dish.

First of all, during this pandemic and knowing that small businesses are suffering, not only have I tried to visit more of them since they have reopened, I have tried to convince other people to do so as well. So to that point, while visiting family in SC, we decided to go to McGee's pub. This was a HUGE mistake.

The visit started out on a weird note with 2-3 different people acknowledging us and saying that someone would be right with us. After waiting for around 5 minutes someone grabbed menus and said to follow them. On the way to what we thought would be a table in an almost empty restaurant, the guy asked if it was ok to sit us at the bar. When we said we would prefer a table, he sort of seemed puzzled, even though I think only 2 or 3 other tables were taken at that time. We came here in hopes of having a late lunch and a few cocktails. When we asked about ordering a drink, they said they were only doing beer or wine. Not sure if this is an ordinance thing or just because they didn't have a bartender. Either way, we just got some waters and placed our order.

I then notice the staff seemed to have on latex gloves and the person I was with has a severe latex allergy. There was no sign anywhere to state that the staff is using latex gloves, causing a HUGE risk for him and liability for the restaurant itself. Restaurants have to warn about nuts or raw food, they should also warn about latex gloves being used.

We had to cancel our order and on the way out, I asked to speak to the manager, but the owner came out. When I brought the concern up to him and mentioned that he should put a sign somewhere to warn customers, his response was that the person I'm with should call restaurants before visiting to ask if they use latex gloves and didn't take any responsibility for almost causing him to possibly go into anaphylactic shock. He also said that the last four months have been super hard on the business and that they are just trying to stay afloat with all the new regulations. I said, while I understand, this person's life is far more important than your business. You can start a new business or move on to something else. If your lack of concern, or in my honest opinion, stupidity, caused him to die, he couldn't get his life back.

After some heated back and forth, he definitely was not getting the picture or severity of this issue and seemed like he didn't care at all, essentially forcing me out of the restaurant. I told him what I thought about him (in not so nice terms) and left.

If you want to support a nice, friendly, business, then this is NOT the place to do so. The owner showed very little concern for his customers health and well-being and I will definitely not return.

I arrive at this superb restaurant once a month because I enjoy the good air that is unique to this place. The staff is highly attentive and well trained. The service is extremely quick. Needless to say, the food they cook is perfect. I visited often and I was never disappointed. The price is modest. I highly recommend this place to my friends and family.

Wonderful customer service and the food was beyond my expectations. The atmosphere reminded me of an Irish pub I used to frequent. Genuine menu. Lots of room and a great room I would assume for large gatherings. Bathrooms were clean. There is an outdoor covered patio and a place for a band to setup. I think a Friday or Saturday night would be a blast.

Note: The LGBTQ and women-led indicators on the Google listing are unnecessary and perpetuate the divisions in our society. Should every business begin listing the ethnic and gender makeup of their staff? How about American-led or nothing and leave it at that? If the Google selections only allow for woke categories, then this is plain virtue signaling.

If your looking for a nice friendly place to enjoy good Irish food and drinks, McGee's is the place to go. Great for a cozy evening out or with a group of friends.
My son quickly became a regular! Highly recommend checking them out.

Excellent fish and chips. French onion soup was delicious. Shepard's Pie was decent. Superb service.

This was our 1st time here, and had a really good experience. The staff were friendly and took care of us right away. Our waiter took the time to answer a few of our questions.

We ended up ordering the fish/shrimp and chips along with the lamb stew and a side of fried mushrooms.

At 1st the price of the shrimp/fish seems expensive, but you receive a nice portion of big fresh, sweet,crunchy,crispy shrimp. And the fish is big chunks of tender delicious fish. The chips/fries were light crispy/crunchy and tasty. Wait!!! Don't forget that curried slaw! It surprised and amazed me. Really good stuff

In the end, it was worth every penny.
We will be back!

Love this place service great food excellent. Will go back.

Great Irish Pub in Anderson. We went there for lunch on a Sunday. My Shepherds Pie was excellent- it's my go-to dish at Irish restaurants and this was one of the best I've had. My wife got the Parmesan Mushrooms and poached eggs off the brunch menu and she loved it. The beer and wine list are fairly extensive and reasonably priced. Our waiter was excellent. Loved McGee's and you will too, check it out!

Been yrs since being there,only thing that changed is the price.Really high for what u get.at least they could give a portion that's enough for an adult.

The staff was very attentive, and funny. The food was delicious, and came out in a timely manner.

Best fish and chips! Wonderful atmosphere and excellent service. Highly recommend.

Very authentic pub, with a great atmosphere and delicious food.

A terrific vibe & ambiance. The owner tended bar while sharing great stories about not only the evolution of his family's place but downtown Anderson in general. Invaluable info for two newcomers to South Carolina.

This place is a incredible place to take your date or just to go enjoy a bottle of wine and some really good food.

We didn't try any of the main dishes because we were still slightly full from lunch so we each got soup and we shared the appetizer trio. My husband's bowl of beer cheese soup won for best item. It was delicious and creamy and I could taste the lager (even though I don't drink and would normally avoid any taste of alcohol). It was THAT good! And it was served with 2 pieces of a very tender soda bread. (I'm used to being served pieces of cardboard that is supposed to serve as soda bread, not the case.)
I had the French onion soup. It was good but not really any different than a good F.O. soup served at other restaurants.
Our trio was made up of Dragon's Eggs (pimento cheese balls battered and deep fried), Bumbershoots (hand breaded mushrooms deep fried), and Loaded Cheese fries (string fries covered in hoop cheese, Green Goddess ranch dressing and bacon). All of these were equally good and I'm not sure I could pick one over the other. I listened to fellow patrons around me rave about their meals and I'm sorry I'm only here for 1 night (to see the eclipse tomorrow.)
So if you're in Anderson, I highly recommend you stop in for a Guinness and a bite to eat.

The food was bad, my order came out wrong 3 times and they took a lot of their good irish dishes off the menu, I wouldn't go back for food, if I wanted to get booze up then they know how to pour a beer but that's about it

I'm English and my lineage is Scotch-Irish, so I know a wee bit about Irish bars. This place is great, excellent in every facet. A well poured pint of Guinness, wonderful menu and owners who care that we had a good experience.

I've only been here a few times for drinks, but great atmosphere and the menu looks amazing! Can't wait to come back and enjoy some food, and live music.
