Thee Irish Pub

This will teach me to not read the reviews before selecting a place. As others have said, skip it and go to Wendy’s.
I had the Guinness grilled chicken sandwich. It came without any condiments, contrary to the menu which said it came with Guinness mustard. I asked the server and she told me they don’t usually put anything on it. I asked for the special mustard — which wasn’t that special. It came with chips that were clearly cooked in house — a number of them were still uncooked potato.
The wife had the fish and chips. (A) we just came back from a week in New Orleans, and this was the greasiest thing she’s eaten in all that time. (B) in this case, when they say chips, that’s what they mean. No French fries with this meal, but the same chips I had. Even though the menu said they were special malt vinegar chips — again, nothing special here.

This place was absolutely terrible. I placed an order for oatmeal and that’s exactly what I got an order of oatmeal and a cardboard cup with a plastic spoon on a plastic plate. I figured I would sit down and have a coffee and an oatmeal and get a little something better than what I could get at Wendy’s just down the way. I guess I was wrong because there is a Wendy’s and a Starbucks nearby that both serve a better cup of oatmeal then this place. You would think a sitdown restaurant would have a little bit more going for it.
When I asked for some raisins or banana or nuts to go with it I think the waitress was taken aback she said we have some Craisins I can get you some of those if you want.
Generally displeased.

I’ve eaten at just about every restaurant at DTW over the years. The Irish Pub is my place for a great breakfast.
My favorite is a bagel with bacon, sausage, egg, and cheese. Sometimes I get oatmeal or home fries with it. The ingredients are very good … I am very picky about the bacon and sausage :-)
The coffee is good and comes in a medium sized paper cup with lid and holder. The OJ is a 15.2oz Ocean Spray bottle.

Who doesn’t love a place where it could be St. Pattys day every day! I have the pleasure of stopping in while on a layover on a flight home from overseas. I wasn’t in the mood for anything in particular, but was very excited to see all the Guinness themed dishes available. Daddy loves his goodness so this was my type of spot.
I ended up sampling the pretzels with Guinness infused cheese dip. 4 large pretzels we’re at my disposal and ended up exactly where they should, in my belly!
The ambience here is exactly what you’d expect in an airport Pub. The Irish theme runs fairly deep through the menu and the folks here are very jolly and happy to help you. Since I didn’t have anything else other than pretzels, I can’t comment on the different main dishes that were available. I will say however that they all looked very good and the number of folks ordered the shepherd’s pie.
If you find yourself in the Detroit Airport this is a definite spot to stop. The prices were what you’d expect but the experience was above expectations for an airport bar. A pint of Guinness held high for this Irish beauty in the Motor City Airport.

As I sat there watching the food pile up in the window I was somewhat suspect, but from the reviews I figured with 40 minutes to board I’d be ok. I ordered the easiest thing I could see (cheeseburger. No frills), and it took 30 minutes to arrive. (Im pretty sure they lost my ticket, because the overworked waitress went to the window finally after seeing me check my watch and they threw one together in a few minutes, minus the cheese, but I wasn’t complaining.)
Yes, it was busy, but, isn’t it always busy?
The bill was $ 30 with tip for a single burger and waffle chips and a drink. (Waffle chips are $ 3)
I get that it’s at the airport, but isn’t there an assumption that everyone’s in a hurry?
So I ended up leaving half of it on the plate and running to board the plane.
I gave two stars because the waitress was friendly.

I know, it’s an airport restaurant. My hopes of good food and reasonable prices are the dreamings of a naïve person. $ 15 for a 9oz glass of wine that I pay $ 11 for the BOTTLE. Amazing. Again, $ 11 the bottle, $ 15 for a pour, with no prices on the menu. Burger and fries were better than fast food, but not as good as real food. Don’t do it. Save the $ and go to Wendy’s.

Edible airport food. Prompt service. Annoying to eat with flimsy plastic cutlery in a restaurant.

For airport food, worthy of the 4^th star. I don’t normally review airport food, but this one was worth it! Comparably, I don’t think it was expensive at all. Shepherds pie with a great flavor served in a bread bowl topped with mashed potatoes was excellent. Home made potato chips with malt vinegar and salt were great too, I couldn’t stop eating them. Topped off with a great pint of Guinness, couldn’t be any better.
I would take the walk from a terminal here any day because it is that much better than everything else!

Look– I realize this is a generic restaurant in an airport– my expectations were low but this is one of meals with the worst food and worst value I have ever had. Our server was friendly but that basically ends the positive comments.
The craft beers (and by craft I mean fat tire– which is basically everywhere now) were over 8 dollars for a pint– sure you could say it’s our fault because prices aren’t listed but I was expecting 6 at the most! Our Irish «nachos» had a dusting of mostly not melted cheese for 10 dollars. We had to go by the Wendy’s before going to our gate, which ended up being a significantly better meal.

Simple pub fare, friendly staff, and good local beer selection. Solid layover option.

Charging $ 10 for a salad comprised mostly of white pieces of iceberg lettuce, strike one, finding brown mushy iceberg lettuce in the bottom of the salad, strike three
Server was friendly, although a little slow to greet me when I sat down in the nearly empty restaurant.

I’m not gonna lie this is not bad at all for airport grub. Granted I ate brunch here and didn’t drink at all so maybe my experience was different than others’.
I got the corned beef hash that came with corned beef, two eggs over easy, and 2 pieces of toast. All of it was very reasonable quality and hit the spot for what I wanted before getting on my flight — oh and only ~$ 8. My boyfriend ordered the fish and chips for ~$ 14 I think. We were a little peeved that the fries were extra and didn’t automatically come with the fish for $ 14 but the fried fish itself was pretty good. $ 14 good? Probably not.
Overall definitely better than the Wendys and Subway options that were available and not too shabby for airport food!

The staff are super friendly and offer suggestions. Very prompt and mindful of travelers. My waitress put my coffee in to-​go cup without me even asking and brought check out immediately. Would def recommend for breakie

Great for breakfast. Fast and friendly service. Dinner is quite the opposite. Service is slow for an airport restaurant. Staff is impersonal.

Horrible service. First customer of the day at 7 am. Quickly order coffee and and omelette. Half hour later no omelette. Printer malfunction. Ok no problem, still have time to catch flight. Printer fixed kitchen starts working on orders. Omelette ready in 10 minutes. Sits under warming light for another 10 or 15 minutes. Server, bartender not to be found.
Asked for check, «I’ll be right with you». Super duper Danno.
Adiós. No comment on food. Wish I could. Coffee mediocre.
Just wish there was a Coney Island in b terminal.

One of the best airport restaurants I’ve ever been to. Check that, great service for any restaurant let alone an airport restaurant. Our sever, Kristina, and the other servers were in constant motion with a sense of urgency rarely seen at airport restaurants as they cater to people on the go. Highly excellent experience. Thank you Thee Irish Pub. 5 stars

Paper bowls and plastic plates was little «blah» but hey, its the airport and a pub. You go for the beer!
Lots of beer choices, very nice staff and very fast service! If i am delayed in concorse C again i will return!

I’ve got to admit that Thee Irish Pub is a pretty good deal for an airport pub. This is the second time I’ve been here and both times have been given good service, good beer and pretty good food.
Ordered the Corned Beef Ruben and asked for the 1000 island dressing on the side because I don’t like it but the girl friend does. They accommodated us with no problem which is nice for an airport pub.
Beer was good — not much of a surprise there, but they did have a good selection to choose from. Guinness, Sam Adams, etc…
Food — Ruben was delicious… Malted chips were pretty good. Malted vinegar was awaiting us at the table which is always nice.
Next time I’m stuck in the Detroit Airport (god help me) I’ll definitely not hesitate to give Thee Irish Pub my business.

After a very long and bumpy flight from Texas, I was then delayed in DTW, but didn’t want to stray too far from where my next flight would be.
Enter Thee Irish Pub, where I proceeded to have a decent rueben, and way too much jameson and ginger for a layover. I don’t regret it. Its just strange to me that when they charged me for an extra drink they couldn’t get the manager over in time to cancel it, so I ended up drinking one more than I should have.

The Reuben is awesome! Plenty of corned beef and not so much sauerkraut as to overpower the sandwich. Tried the local Rochester Red and it was very good as well. There’s not a whole lot in Concourse B but this place is a gem! I’ll be back when I’m passing through.
