McGarry’s Pub

First visit, great food. Real pub food in the Western Burbs!!!
Stroganoff was wonderful.
I’ll be back!!!

Great place! All of the food we had was wonderful. A lot of great options on the menu was really difficult to choose. Also the place is cozy and inviting. Will definitely be back.

I sat down at the last stool available at the bar, was very busy for a Thursday night. I like Irish beer better then irish food so I didn’t expect much. They do have a great tap beer selection. I had a Black and Tan. The couple next to me recommended the pot pie, again this isn’t usually in my wheelhouse but I thought I would try it.(didn’t even look at the menu). The turkey pot pie is truly something special. Taste of homemade comfort food done right. This place is worth a drive for anybody looking for good atmosphere nice beer selection and a great homemade food.

Food is on spot every time I visit. The Mahi Mahi tacos with watermelon slaw is excellent. Best fish tacos I’ve had in a long time.

Outstanding!!! Fabulous food cozy atmosphere this family owned gem has been in Maple Plain forever
the Jalepeno poppers are like no other and can not be beat
want traditional Irish Pub Fare go for the Rueben or Shepards Pie and save room for dessert!

Fun place to eat at! Stopped there while passing through town and we’re glad we did!
We had a waitress who was very nice and caring. I had a hardy and very tasty Shepherds Pie and my wife had the Rueben. She love the fact that the pastrami was chunky and super tender and she could tell that lots of love went into it. Both of our meals were served piping hot! Beer was served nice and cold too!
We will be back next time we are in the area for sure! Looks like a fun summer spot with outdoor seating as well. Very yummy!

Really good place to eat. It is definitely the best restaurant around. I had the turkey pot pie, it was made fresh and had really good flavor. This place also has a good beer selection. I would recommend getting there early in a weekend because it fills up quick.

Well, we came in around 3 and the waitress seemed kind of bothered by us. She looked like she was talking to some regulars. However, the chef came out and greeted us and he was very nice. He made staying well worth it along with the food!
The menu didn’t offer a whole lot of choices, but I would say it had something for everyone; burgers, seafood, steak and of course the Irish dishes. I ordered the meatloaf which was amazing and my husband ordered the crab cake hoagie and he said it was fresh and the best he’s had.
The prices were decent for the amount of food we got. I would go back, maybe at a later time so it doesn’t feel like we are interrupting the staff.

Went there for a team meeting/​late holiday party and reserved part of the back room. Service was certainly attentive and the mussels I had were delicious as they even used some sort of cream sauce with it.

Great place, had the ruben today, would put it in the top of its class

We walk into this place and there’s a bar full of joyful drunk people singing at the top of their lungs. We’re seated promptly and the server informs us that it’s «Half St. Patrick’s Day». AHHH. Fun. Surly Furiouses all around (no Guinness for us) I order fish and chips (meh) and husband orders the Reuben (YUMMMMM). The entrees come with fries and coleslaw and SPICY PICKLES. I ate one of the jalepenos that these fridge-​pickles are marinaded with and I felt it. It brought a tear to my eye. And I rather enjoyed it. The menu has a bunch of stuff that looks spectacular on it, so if we’re in the neighborhood, we’ll be back.

Great authentic Irish menu. Beer food and apps are delicious. A little doesn’t but over all worth it.

We go here a lot, it’s close too the house and it has good food and a great staff. My only wish is they had a bigger selection of micro brews. Especially local brews.

Went here with the little ones and it was fantastic. The service was great and the food was outstanding!
The turkey pot pie was delicious and the Reuben was the best we’ve ever had. Great place for dinner

Great selection of food, with certain twist in the menu that will make your mouth water. The chef Jessie and I have become good friends and it’s nice to know that he knows what I like along with all the other customers.

This place is amazing. I’ve known of it for years from when it was small town breakfast joint and I’m just amazed at the transition that’s taken place. Consistently having wonderful service and really great food.
I’ve gone with family and friends for great happy hour deals and recently was very please by all the option on the menu. Their version of macaroni and cheese was tasty. Cheese curds a great option to share. The bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado sandwich is super tasty and fresh.
Desserts are also a great choice.

I have to admit, this place caught me off guard in a good way. I was expecting a good ol’ regular bar with the standard bar menu (fries, burgers, etc) but this place had quite a nice Irish Menu and yes even Vegetarian friendly items! I wish I tried the Rueben Rolls, since they sounded interesting. This bar will serve you up a nice Martini to a canned beer. I got the Fish and Chips and quite honestly the best Fish n ’ Chips I’ve ever had! The fish pieces were a nice big portion and the batter was a thick, tasty batter. Way better than your standard fish and chips as say, Green Mill. Will plan on going back some day.

I’ve tried quite a few Irish pubs and have mostly been disappointed. I was starting to think that culinary art in Ireland got lost in the midst of all the beer. Then I stumbled on this place. I’ve had the shepherds pie and corned beef… oh and blarney stones. I’ve never been to Ireland but I’m guessing this is the real deal… I’m basing that mostly on it actually being good. Only con: a little spendy for bar food.

I met a few friends here this evening. We trickled into the patio, had some lovely little reuben-​like egg roll things and scotch eggs and beers, and then some more friends arrived.
All told, fourteen of us inadvertently ambushed the place. Yikes! They were completely unfazed, and kindly opened up the back room while our server patiently attended to our every need. Really splendid folks.
The Irish fare isn’t particularly authentic, but it was all very tasty, and the healthy portions were very reasonably priced. Boddington’s on draft is a big win.
All told I had a great evening with some new and old friends. McGarry’s staff were patient, attentive, and kindly invited us back to do it again, anytime. A lovely blend of small town hospitality and proper pub atmosphere.

I came here for dinner last night to catch up with a friend. Being a pub, I of course had to order some pub food so fish and chips it was topped off with a Bass and Boddingtons. Service here is pretty quick, the waitstaff is friendly, and the food is ok, nothing spectacular. The fish that came out was well battered, fried perfectly, and it was a pretty large filet. It was not overdone at all and was flakey and moist. I do however wish they did something more to the batter by adding some seasoning to it because without the tartar sauce/​lemon it was pretty darn bland. The fries pretty tasty but a wee bit over salted for my tastes. This restaurant has a pretty good selection of beer and they will run anywhere from the $ 5.00−6.00 range so it’s a pretty standard.
This restaurant does have a pretty nice interior and they have seating outside at the front of the restaurant and at the back of the restaurant. All in all a good place to eat especially in Maple Plain with its limited options. I’d go back if I was in the neighborhood.
