Have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed! The prices are amazing for the quality, portions, atmosphere, and service. You can't go wrong with the whiskey burger(has always been cooked perfect to order), the bangers and mash, or the shepards pie. For a fun and different appetizer, I highly recommend the scotch eggs. Never had a complaint with any server, but Trisha was outstanding tonight!
This place is great! Nice atmosphere with great service from Janelle. Parmesan haddock was awesome. Asparagus was cooked perfect. Will definitely be back to check out the menu.
We really enjoyed the food here! The place was clean & wait staff were super friendly. Appetizers: we had broccoli cheese bites & the Ruben egg rolls. Main course: Ruben/fries, side salad with grilled chicken & steak salad. Highly recommend!
Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service! The soups are Amazing and homemade. The sandwiches were sooo good. The steak sandwich was flavorful and not chewy. The bread pudding was a great way to end a fabulous lunch…along with a great Irish coffee. It’s a must for food…and drink!!
My husband and I tried this place on our way home. Super friendly staff. Great about having to be gluten-free. Food was delicious. Husband enjoyed the reuben with gluten-free bread. Had the spicy fried chicken. Was really good. Happy to see you used a local meat place for your menu items too. Would definitely come back and try other food items. Keep up the great work.
There’s so much to like about this place. I came here two days in a row. The beef stew was outstanding, with a great homemade quality to it. I also had one of their burgers made with locally sourced beef, and it was top tier. Their menu offers a nice variety of creative and appealing options. I sat near the kitchen, and nearly every dish that came out was presented well and looked fantastic. It’s a charming place. Their motto says, “Wisconsin’s most unique and authentic Irish pub,” and I believe it.
I had the privilege of meeting some mom friends about a month ago at this establishment and man, it was a time! The service was great and friendly! Food, drinks were awesome and delicious! Definitely a Gem of Fort Atkinson! Would definitely recommend checking it out if you haven’t already! And if you have, you already know!
Great. 1st, the circumstance. Visiting Ft Atkinson (again) and searched online for a dining option and drove to the chosen establishment only to find multiple (4 or 5) stairs to enter the front door. Not an option for my wife in a wheelchair. Other patrons leaving said "stairs in the rear too" . Back to the phone and search more. I will tell you that I considered my choice to go to Paddy Loughlins as a an oh well, we'll go there. Upon our arrival we found...steps to enter (2). We were given assistance entering by departing guests. Following our visit I will tell you to consider Paddys a 1st choice. The atmosphere was comfy, nothing fake. Lots of activity but calm enough to talk to each other. The staff was professional and efficient. The meals .. the fish and chips was very tasty and perfectly prepared. The Shepard Pie was equally well done. It was not just a concoction of stuff, it was a stew-like meal in which the ingredients all held their own. I knew each thing I was eating. A plus for my wife was the available raspberry iced tea. We ended by sharing a honey peach cheesecake. Honestly not something I would have picked, but before I could ask the waitress what else you got ? My wife says give us that ! I'm not usually a fan of gimmick cheesecake. This was a firm textured cheesecake and the flavors were complimentary, mild yet a complete full taste. To finish the whole experience we were handed a bill that came in under my estimation (meals, beverages, dessert, tax $36). What more could you ask for?
This is a cute little Irish pub in Fort Atkinson. The food was great (fish and chips!), the service was excellent, as well. I'd highly recommend Paddy's for a business lunch, as service was fast! Enjoy!
The food and the beer here are fantastic! Old world charm. The staff are great, especially Jerry he knows everything 😁
