Since 1972, we've believed in quality ingredients, cooking from scratch and having fun. From our famous 'Shrooms and Stuffed Chicken Breast to our unique burger blend and ahi tuna, we believe in celebrating the small things and that every moment deserves a toast in its honor. So grab a drink (perhaps our signature Long Island Iced Tea), enjoy some great conversation and let us serve you an excellent meal.

Server was great. Drinks took about 30 minutes and food was subpar at best. Ambience was terrible. Bad lighting and paint colors were awful. Waitress was super nice and trying her best to work with slow kitchen and slow bar.

The food is always prepared well. We were seated in the bar area. It's well lit and not noisy but would prefer the main dining room. Next time I make a reservation I will indicate to be seated in the main dining area. I had to wait over 5 minutes at the reception desk for anyone to come seat me. I texted my friends to see where they were so I could join them right when the hostess came. The waitress was very attentive and pleasant. We lingered quite awhile after finishing our meals without being rushed. Prices seemed high, but that's due to inflation and costs. The Wednesday half price bottle of wine made up for it. We enjoy coming year round but especially in warm weather when we can dine on Houlihan's patio.

We were there on a day when multiple servers "called in" and did not show up for work so the patio was closed (it was a nice evening). We elected to sit at the bar. There were 3 "host" people standing around chatting while the servers, bartender, and managers were busting it to try to keep things moving. The bartender did a great job for us and was on top of things. They did have her handling the carry-outs, and all of the bar.. and she had the bar "booths" that lined the wall as well. Overall the food was okay.. not great.. I had fish and chips.. and it was cooked okay.. clearly though not fried as it was no oil at all in the entree (maybe an air fryer). The plate was scorching hot so you could tell it had been under the lamps for some time. My husband had the scallops. the potatoes were really lumpy and not very warm but overall they tasted ok. The ambiance is something old and way too bright. Almost a Applebees like feel but with orange, yellow, and green walls. So for our "okay".. we give it about a 3.5 out of 5..

CeeCeeS I appreciate your feedback. I apologize our food was just ok and that we did not have the patio open. I will share your feedback with my team and I hope you give us another chance. Thank you for stopping in. Warm Regards, Jacob Nagy General Manager

The food was excellent and the service good. We had been emailed a $25 coupon from Landry select club for my birthday, but the restaurant was not able to honor it. It feels like a bait-a d-switch, and Landry needs to get this corrected. (I don’t hold the restaurant management responsible for this. It appears to be a problem with the Landry’s system.)

My favorite menu item used to be their Lemony Chicken Piccata. I ordered it as their Monday/Tuesday special and the portion was much smaller and the chicken was tough. Disappointing when a couple of months ago it melted in my mouth. Flavor still very good though. Enjoy Houlihans ambiance and quiet. You can hear yourself talk to your table mates.

Our food was excellent! We had a reservation, but we had to wait approximately 10-15 minutes for a table even though tables were available and only one group of people were waiting ahead of us. We were approached promptly by our server, but she was not very pleasant and personable.

We thought we were going to sit in the dining room area but we were seated in the bar, thus my rating on the noise level. There was much confusion when we arrived at the restaurant, 4 parties were seated, none of them had reservations, in the dining room area.
