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.

    We went as a group of 8 and everyone enjoyed their meal. Our server was young but excellent and very attentive. The food was great we all enjoyed our dishes and we had dessert for the birthday girl! Can’t wait to go back again.

    We sat 20 minutes before we had to get up and get the manager to come take our order. We were ignored by the waiter . Took 40 mins for 2 buffalo blue salads tenders and fries for the kids and the food was cold. I was extremely disappointed because I genuinely enjoy eating at this restaurant . Management should reevaluate employing Brian as a waiter because his attitude was extremely poor. I will not be eating at this location ever again .

    This Houlihans definitely gets a lower rating than it should.  The food is homemade and amazing, our waiter, John, was really nice and extremely attentive.  This location is nicely decorated and and everything I mentioned suggests there could be higher prices on the menu, but it’s very well priced.  Overall, this place is an absolute bargain considering other places charge twice as much, and the food is not nearly as good as this was. No brainer!

    Ordered the spinach dip with the cheesy lavosh (always our favorite) Scallops and french dip sandwich. Both were great. We went for the holidays and ordered some of the seasonal drinks which were not as great as the food but overall was a good time!

    Thanksgiving was very quiet in Houlihan's this year, we have gone on previous Thanksgivings, but they were crowded. The turkey platter was very good, turkey stuffing, mashed potatoes, gore beans, then pumpkin pie, that, however, was not the best. Still, we would go back!
