Reviews


This rustic, dive bar/sports bar combo offers a mixed bag of dining experiences. While some diners have found the food to be underwhelming, with flavorless Philly steaks and overcooked onion rings, others rave about the delicious burger and tater-tots. The Irish nachos seem to be a fan favorite, with many praising their taste and portion size. Despite some inconsistencies in food quality, the friendly staff and affordable prices keep customers coming back for more. Live music and a range of drink options add to the overall appeal of this laid-back establishment. Make sure to double check your bill, though, as some customers have reported issues with overcharging. Overall, it seems that this restaurant may have its highs and lows, but if you stick to the right menu items, you're likely to have a satisfying dining experience, J Gilligan's Bar & Grill typically has an average rating of 4.5.
