The Blarney Stone Pub

Stopped for an after dinner beer. Great selection. Place is so nice and has a great selection of on tap beers.

Great fish and chips, terrible service. Our waitress Chrissy was too busy chatting with regulars and updating them on things happening with mutual friends and chit chat… It took a while to take our otder, then I had to go ask for salad dressing for my husband’s salad meal. She told me there was supposed to be dressing on the salad. I told her again there was not. She said she’d bring it. By the time it arrived, after she chatted with a table, in our sight, for about 4 minutes. …and then went back to the kitchen for the dressing, I had finished my ½ portion of delicious crispy hot fish and JJ sat there with dry spinach on a dry plate. When Chrissy did bring the dressing she again informed us that the kitchen had lightly dressed the salad. We showed her the dry plate and greens. It was apparent that she felt the kitchen was correct and we were overly demanding. I left her a note and a single dollar tip. What happened to The customer is always right? Dressed already or not (and I a sure you it was NOT even lightly dressed… oops someone forgot, no problem just bring it asap when asked)… please just bring the dressing the customer asked for and a smile; your tip would have been 20% and we would have returned. Now we will not go back, other choices and polite prompt service. Bye bye pub.

The food was good for pub food. The chowder had great flavor but not many clams. The shepherds pie was good and served piping hot. Kerrygold sluders were also good. Service was friendly and attentive. Good beer selection.

Midnight on a weekend, and they’ll threaten to throw you out for cursing to your friend sitting next to you. You do realize you’re selling POISON to people in copious amounts, right? I guess saying the f word to your buddy doesn’t make them thousands of dollars so they’ll treat you like a child for that.

Worked in London for several years and this is the place I visit for my Fish and Chips fix. Waffle fries are excellent and fish is properly battered. Good pub menu but I usually stick to the fish and chips. Lunch portion is excellent value for the money.

This is a very good pub. Beer selection is good, which pleases my husband. We’ve been here probably a dozen times over a few years, and have enjoyed everything we’ve tried. The waffle fries are excellent – fresh, hot, and crispy, and they stay perfect throughout the meal, which means they are not too greasy. They normally come with pepper on them, so I always specify no pepper, which is happily done.
I usually order the crispy chicken wrap sandwich, which is bigger than I can finish, and it’s really good. Service is very friendly, and we haven’t noticed any extra-​long wait times, but then we’re not usually in a hurry when we’re here.

The Blarney Stone has pretty good pub food. Decent burgers. It’s fairly small. Pretty good beer selection.

Our favorite place to eat locally. There is a new manager, and there have been a lot of successful efforts to improve the service and offer some interesting specials. The beer selection is excellent. Looking forward to going back soon!

Beware Eastern Shore Clam Chowder! 3 tiny clams and no apology (they make big batches) I should have sent it back!

Great oysters and lots of beers. Lovely waitress, Laura, from Brooklyn. Loved the potatoes. They had music on the patio. Great music, at least the day we were there. we had lunch and came back for dinner.

The food was good, once we received it. It was lunchtime 2 weeks ago 3 of us went here. From the time we ordered our food (3 sandwiches) to the time it hit the table was 27 minutes. There were only 2 other tables in the restaurant. I had a grilled veggie sandwich which was pretty good, but because of the wait and the attention that was given to ‘regulars’ and not us newbies, I will not be back.

Good stuff. We at here a couple of days after having a completely uninteresting meal at Mallards down the street (avoid that one!)
First it is small, but does have some outdoor seating that overlooks a DMV parking lot. We got there early, but we saw several people just turn around and leave after talking to the waitress about seating.
Décor was nice, but not lavish. Real table cloths and napkins, clean bathrooms. For a pub I’d say pretty damned good.
About 10 – 12 beers on tap, Guinness, Smithwicks, etc…
Food…
We were eating a bit earlier than normal and the kids had just woken up so we got appetizers and meals for them…
Sliders — Very good little burgers. The garlic mayo could have used a bit more punch but they were good.
Crab dip — I loved that they made their own flour tortilla chips. Dip was very rich but if you’re sharing with a couple people you should be fine. I liked it. My wife got a little burnt on it because she was eating it as her main meal.
Cheese and bacon fries — very good. Waffle fries were cooked up nice and crispy, real cheese, real bacon.
Kids got fish and chips and chicken tenders. Both of these were really good. Fish and chips was a good sized thick piece of fish and the batter was good if not quite as thick or airy as I was expecting. Daughter loved it and ate the whole thing (even though I couldn’t convince her that malt vinegar makes it even better)
Chicken tenders and fries were about what you would expect, but were cooked well and enjoyed.
Service was a bit slow as they were pretty busy which was fine. There was live music and the kids were suitably entertained by that.
Overall, I really liked it. The pub had better food than the chef down at Mallards by a long shot. Going in I expected decent fried foods and burgers as any pub should have, but stuff like the fried flour tortilla chips, crab dip, and care taken with the crispy bacon the fries exceeded my expectations. Would definitely go back here and would definitely recommend it to others.

A good casual place to eat and have a beer. Nice interior. Live music on weekends.
