Disappointing experience. I took my mother to Claddagh's for the Mother's Day brunch and was very disappointed. They did not offer all the items they were supposed to and couldn't keep up with the demand so were constantly out of items they DID offer. The bloody mary "DIY Bar" consisted of pickles, olives and mix. I could have made a better one at home. Our server was not very attentive and we sat with dirty plates and empty drinks for up to a half hour at a time. The food we did have had good flavor but was not hot so was disappointed with that. And to top it all off, all five people in our party got sick. VERY expensive food poisoning! Won't be back and certainly won't recommend to anyone else!…
Best Fish and Chips!!.
Claddagh has the best fish and chips! On Mondays they're TWO FOR ONE! You can buy a large portion of fish and chips and get a large portion free all day long!! You can't beat it. Pefect with a pint
of Guinness! Three Squares can't touch Claddagh' fish and chip recipe!!!
They also have a great happy hour, late night happy hour, beautiful patio, and live music on Saturdays. Great location right on Main Street.…
How can you not love this place?.
The first thing that really strikes you is the traditional (and comfortable) pub atmosphere; dark stained wood, curtained side dining areas and a beautiful copper bar. The second, and possibly third
through fifth, thing you'll find is that they serve properly pulled pints of Guinness. Anyone who enjoys Guinness will appreciate that they take their time pouring and serve you a pint that delivers the full flavor intended by the brewers. It is also evident that, since they pour so much Guinness, the kegs are fresher than at most restaurants and the price remains below what I've come to expect for a pint of the stout.
While the menu is not vast, it is filled with great traditional fare along side more contemporary pastas, sandwiches, etc. The fish and chips alone should solidify you as a regular; flavorful ale batter on a massive piece of moist whitefish. Their tartar sauce perfectly compliments the meal. The meatloaf is quite an undertaking, but chances are that you'll choose to be painfully full rather than leave any of it on the plate. No matter what you have, make sure to start with a cup of the Guinness onion soup; it's their Gaelic twist on French onion. I've never had a onion soup with as flavorful a broth. I've been tempted to upturn the bowl for the last few drops.
Normally, I am reticent to fall in love with a "trendy" suburban chain restaurant but I just can't help myself. It doesn't feel like a chain; it feels like a comfortable pub with friendly servers and good food. And in the end, that's what really matters.…
nice place. We've been coming here for years now. Food has always been great. Portions are large. The fish and chips is the best around, corned beef & cabbage is really good also. Some menu items seem pricy for what you get - $18.00 for 1 pork chop, $5.50 beers. The atmosphere is great, service is great. The seats are very uncomfortable. Onion rings are to die for.…
A chain pub in Maple Grove with a beautiful bar, great food and real Emerald Isle ambience..
In Short
Claddagh is situated in Maple Grove's faux-historic strip designed to look like the old-fashioned downtown. The room is invitingly dark, with stone fireplaces, stained-glass
windows, private little library rooms and a back dining area that is surely patterned after some place in the old country. With its outdoor patio, friendly bar and Irish beer selection, it's a Maple Grove social setting. Each table has a bottle of vinegar for the tender and delicious Harp beer-battered fish-and-chips.…
