    All good. Great place. One issue yesterday was that large birthday crowd was standing between the bar and the hi-top tables. The servers couldn't get through with trays They were brushing against friends of ours who are also regulars at Houlihan's and who were eating dinner. They decided to take their meals to go and they left. Suggestion, with groups like that gathering for drinks with gifts, perhaps the management can offer them an area in the dining room and maybe give a small break like $10 off the check if they agree to move.

    Thank you Sam for your kind smile and attentive service. My hubby had a burger. It was cooked to his preference. I had the pulled pork, less the coleslaw, with fries. I ditch the soft brioche bun and use the fries as a bed for my pork. So bad for you, but it tastes delicious. I enjoyed that with a glass of house Pinot. My only complaint is that they no longer has the doughnut dessert. They only serve fried dough stuffed w Oreos. Love this place!
