I loved McGlynns Pub! I was in town on business and happened upon this hole in the wall strip shopping center establishment. Great TVs and service. It was Tuesday, 1/2 Price burger night....I went with the stuffed burger.(4.50)..Excellent choice! Yuengling, which is considered an import in most Southern states, was $1.50 a glass. I made every effort to spend $20 over the course of 2.5 hours. Mission accomplished, it wasnt' easy...but I did it! Cheap bear, great inexpensive food, and easy going atmosphere. I might go back tonight for AYCE Wing Wednesday.

I'm not a picky person. I rarely complain. I never send food back. But this was just a really mediocre experience. The food, while edible, was so disappointing. The fries were cold and overcooked to the point that they were crunchy. Not even a touch of salt on them. I ordered the roast beef sandwich with au jus dipping sauce. I was excited for the horseradish sauce, but there was only the tiniest drop on the sandwich. I didn't taste it at all. The only other fixin on the sandwich was a giant slice of red onion, which overwhelmed the whole sandwich. The roast beef was dry and the au jus didn't help. All of the food just seemed sad. The beer I ordered on tap didn't taste as good or fresh as I've had it in the can, if you can believe it. My husband asked what did I expect ordering an English beer in an Irish pub? Well...I expect that if you have a beer on tap, that it's going to be somewhat fresh. The atmosphere was fine. The table tops a little sticky and wobbly. Our waitress was friendly and accommodating though. I probably would not come here again if I planned on eating or drinking.

Stopped by for a biz lunch yesterday and found the bar stacked with dirty dishes and food and nobody in sight to address. There were two bar keeps on duty who seemed to struggle to keep up. After a good 10 min, young Kaitlyn finally came over and was perhaps the most unhelpful and non-engaging server I have encountered in quite a while. While not a frequent patron, I remember this place functioning better while the MOD was visible and in circulation. On this day, didn't even see their shadow. Clean this up before this location becomes vacant due to another failed business. I like the location and don't want to deal with Main Street on Newark.

I really dislike putting up less then good comments about a place, and this time I must. I've been here a few times over the last 5 years and every time is the same. The food is mediocre at best. The hostess greeted us (if "follow me" in a depressing tone is what you consider greeting), took us to our table and handed menus. Lucky us our hostess was our waitress too...she perked up while taking the order..food came out in a decent time, hey there's a plus! We got crab and artichoke dip, was ok, bread was hot and fresh. My son and I ordered the Reuben sandwich..I mean we are at an Irish pub, right? Both were nothing to write home about...meat was extra salty, and tough, bread was toasted too much that it made my lips hurt biting into it...I couldn't wait to finish it, just to be done! My son shared the feelings, and only are half...I was super hungry ( which you would think would have made it taste better..nope). My husband got a roast beef and seemed satisfied with it. The place had about 4 tables filled, including us and we had to wait for our bill...I don't see myself patronizing the place again...too disappointed. :(

I"ve been coming here for years. And unfortunately, I think it's time for new management. Dark atmosphere isn't bad, but it could use a fresh coat of paint and what does it take to remove the funk from the tables?? I'm getting tired of my arms sticking to the tables whenever I go there. The food's pretty good, depending on what you get. They do a decent job with burgers..I do like their boneless wings and their daily specials are a good value. All in all, it's the kind of place that with either a new manager, or someone who wants to see the place be more than it is, can really bring it to a new level.

I've been to this location a few times for late night drinks but this is a first and last for food. I initially walked into a less than tidy bar and quickly sat down un-greeted at the bar which was covered in what seemed like stale beer and food reminisce. After about 10 minutes the young bartender finally noticed me sitting there and halfheartedly asked what I was drinking. With her limited personality I placed my drink order and asked for a menu. After approximately another 15 mins she reappeared from the empty room and asked me what I was having. I ordered the quesadilla. Without recommendations or any questions she placed the order. After approximately 15-20 mins another young waitress arrived with the dish without questions and quickly ran away. The dish itself looked ok in presentation but was served cold and covered in what appeared to be a ranch sauce. The sour cream accompanying the dish was bear frozen and over soured indicating it expiration weeks ago. The bartender returned not long after I finished never asking how the food was or if I need anything else. It was clear from the staff (including what appeared to be the manager) that they had limited care towards their customer or food. From the loud conversations it was obvious they were more concerned with the i weekend/night plans than their job. I give this location the following ratings: "F" for food "F" for service "B" for noise "D" for cleanliness "F" for attentiveness My recommendations: Go anywhere else but here.

We've been here several times and always enjoy our meal. The staff is friendly and we've never had bad service. When you walk in the aroma of popcorn fills the restaurant. They have a popcorn machine at the front that customers are welcome to. (Self serve) Their salmon burger is delicious! (even more delicious on half price burger night :) If you're a smoker, you'd probably appreciate their outdoor seating. They have a section blocked off outside for that sort of thing.

Food is not very tasty, I ordered a panini and I got a sub instead . The food has gone downhill since I started coming 5yr ago. The popcorn is good.

Beer menu is good and constantly improving, burgers are great, hot wings are absolutely terrible, and the service is lacking. Being overpriced doesn't help either, every side is $4? No.

This is my first negative review ever as I'm pretty easy to please. I will never go to Mcglynn's again. This was our first visit in about five years because we weren't impressed at all the last time we went, however we were at Peoples Plaza for their holiday celebration and decided to try lunch. I should have known it was a bad sign when we stood at the door waiting to be seated for over five minutes while not a single server was in sight. We got seated, only to be surrounded by dirty tables our entire visit (we heard one waitress tell another that it wasn't her job to clear someone else's tables). The atmosphere was as cold and surly as the waitstaff, with the exception of one young man who was running circles around the others. They were obviously under-staffed for this Saturday lunch hour, but there were several times we noted waitresses standing around doing nothing. Our orders were taken and we started to become antsy (as did our kids) after about 20 minutes. Not sure why it ended up taking 30 minutes for a sandwich, cup of soup, and chicken fingers, but had the food actually been any good, that would have been this restaurant's saving grace. It wasn't. The fries were scant and cold. The kids' chicken was rubbery. The sandwich mediocre. We were so eager to leave this place, we couldn't get our check soon enough. I felt like we were in a "before" scene in the show Bar Rescue. Mcglynn's needs it.

Not bad for a dive restaurant. Was actually told no when I asked for all drum wings on an order of 8 wings...that was unbelievable. Given past reviews, sounds like they need new management.

While I was working for the movie theatre in college, I would hope my friends and I caught the early evening shift so we could get off by 11:30PM and head to McGlynn's. The food is flavorful and the beers are plenty and varied, not what you would expect from a strip mall Irish-themed bar. I recommend the barbecue pork quesadilla (the southwest sauce makes it) and the ahi tuna burger.

Pretty nice place to knock back a few, good for football sundays and Monday Night Football too. Good draft beer selection. Food is decent, bare fare- burgers, wings, nachos, etc. Try the Chesapeake Pretzel. Crabmeat atop a soft pretzel. Very good. Cool bartenders. although they need to pay more attention to customers waiting for drinks instead of chatting with friends. Still a decent place to have a few after work.

Wish I could rate this 3.5 stars. A very nice, friendly pub above average pub fare. Good selection if draught and bottled beer. Probably go there1x a month on 'date night' with the wife. They have Buzz Time Trivia. All in all, never had a bad time there. They are affiliated with Deer Park.

Had never been to mcglynns before, stopped in for an after work week happy hour. Atmosphere was great for a restaurant/bar. We had a large group of 15 or more at times, and service was great. Server automatically split checks without anyone asking! Had a few beers and the hummus. I recommend the hummus here if that's your thing.
