Annie Bailey's Irish Public House

I had a wonderful experience at Annie Bailey’s. I have Celiac, so going out to restaurants can be a pretty stressful experience at times. The staff set my mind fully at ease! Our server asked if we had any allergies and wrote down everything that I asked her to share with the kitchen staff. I ordered the Irishman Burger with a GF Bun. I completely glossed over the beer-braised cabbage on this burger. When the burger came to my table it was on the side. With slight hesitation in the back of my mind, I poured the cabbage onto my burger. However, I couldn’t ignore my instincts anymore, so I double-checked the menu. Seeing that the cabbage was braised in beer I ordered the burger again emphasizing that this was my mistake and I’d like to pay for both burgers. The cook brought my 2nd burger out to make sure that I felt comfortable with it. He explained that the cabbage is braised in cider so if I’d like the cabbage still he would bring it for me. Hearing that I was delighted and did have the delicious cabbage. Even though I said several times that I would absolutely pay for both burgers. They only charged me for one.

This restaurant was just okay. The food was very slow in coming out. It took 45 minutes to get our appetizers and a full hour for our entrees. I should note that the restaurant was slightly more than half full. So, it wasn't like they were slammed. The waitress was okay, but drinks not being refilled while waiting so long for food was annoying. The food itself was mixed. The brussel sprout appetizer was fantastic. My burger was good and the mashed potatoes I got with it were great. But the others in my party thought their meals (shepherds pie and pulled pork cuban) were nothing special. I should note that they did offer a few gluten free options and seemed knowledgeable about cross contamination, so that was appreciated. It wasn't a bad experience, but for the money it wasn't worth it.
