On 5/7/2025 Paula Donovan had this to say:
This place has the best steak tacos I’ve ever had at a non-Mexican restaurant. It was like god himself kissed me on the lips.

We came with a large party of 12 and they got us in quickly. The service was fantastic. We had kids and they took their orders right away. Excellent atmosphere. Food was delicious and came out quick.

4.6* (out of 5) Food: 4* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 5* Service: 5* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $20 04/01/2025 We have stopped here a few times since the last review, including a Trivia Night with a great taco value (unfortunately, we ate before the last minute invite to join a team there) - but hadn't taken the time to update my review. We stopped for their Tuesday night Burger Special...which left me wondering why we weren't going there every Tuesday night for burgers! I ordered a Burger (of course - see picture) and was thoroughly impressed with it! Usually when you ask for a medium rare burger, it is brought out medium well to well done. Not only was the burger excellent (a little beyond medium rare, but at least some heavy pink in the middle), but the bun and the lattice fry sides were all delicious! Unfortunately, I gave up alcohol for Lent...so didn't have a beer with the burger - but you can bet that I'll be back for both after Easter! If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow. 4.25* (out of 5) Food: 4* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 4* Service: 5* 07/22/2023 Finally got the chance to stop by again after some new friends suggested it as the place to meet after Mass last night. They suggested that we go outside and the patio experience was fantastic - perfect weather for the evening and a little quieter than inside, so a great place to enjoy some conversation. We started with a couple of beers...because why else would you go to an Irish Pub, right? The banter started with our server, Erika - which added to the great experience. If you follow my reviews, you know that I appreciate servers with menu opinions that they aren't afraid to share...and just a little bit of a sassy attitude (and she had just the right amount of both). For our meals, my wife ordered the Southwest Salad (see picture) per Erika's suggestion and I ordered the Naked Chicken Wings (see picture) with Mango Habanero sauce. As is our norm, we shared samples of each other's order and we found both of them to be very good - so would recommend them. If you are looking for a fun Irish Pub experience, you will enjoy a stop at Mickey's. If you stop and are up for a little friendly banter, ask for Erika and be sure to tell her 'Hi' from The Food and Drink Guy! 06/05/2021 update: Stopped for a free pour of beer from a coupon in the mail and enjoyed a pint of Guinness (see picture) followed by an order of portabella mushroom fries (see picture) per the server's recommendation. The mushroom fries along with the Ranch and special horseradish sauce that was served with them were delicious and I would highly recommend them - light, crisp breading and a tasty mushroom inside. 02/2021 Stopped for brunch and ordered from their breakfast menu. The food and drinks were all good, but my favorite was the Top of the Morning Irish Coffee (see picture) - I definitely recommend it.

On 4/4/2025 Amanda Bills had this to say:
I absolutely love everything about this Irish Pub. The food is next-level pub fare. The atmosphere is gorgeous and vibrant, with a fireplace framed by beautiful stained glass, not to mention the enclosed patio. The staff was clearly having a great time. These aren’t corporate folks just going through the motions—you can tell that they care. Will definitely be back!
