We were there for breakfast on Mothers Day per my sons suggestion and I couldn’t have been happier. I’ve been craving a full English breakfast (Gaelic skillet), and my experience did not disappoint. The food was great, prices were good, service was wonderful, we left there deciding that Muldoon’s will now be in our regular rotation of hangouts.

Fish and chips was awful, fish was served raw. Fries were average. Green ranch dressing…Seriously and flavorless. Lamb chops were acceptable but nothing out of the ordinary. Need better chefs and recipes.

I happened upon Muldoon’s Yelp listing while searching for a nice place to eat and have a cocktail (or two) after a very stressful day. We were quite pleased to find this gem. Ample parking. Good food. Drinks that take the edge off. Great service (Kudos to John!). Buzzing, fun atmosphere. Someone was celebrating their 50th birthday in the private parties bar and it was (I think) 80’s themed. Someone walked by our table dressed as Sonny Crockett from Miami Vice while John was taking our order, and John and I both laughed like hell after asking where (Rico) Tubbs was. LOL Overall, we had a great time at Muldoon’s. Definitely will be back again!!

SCOTT. IS. INSANELY. INCREDIBLE. I cannot even begin to explain how our server, Scott, makes such an enjoyable experience each and every time we visit. Because of him, Muldoons has become a MUST visit every time I have friends and family in town! The energy he produces brings so much joy and positivity into my life and we are forever grateful for him! Thank you Scott! We will be back again and again for you!

I love Muldoon's! Unfortunately we had to ask for things multiple times. The servers never seemed to return back to us to see if we needed anything (which we did). However, they were very busy and must have realized that they weren't as attentive as they could be because they gave us a free dessert!

Our waitress Brianna was absolutely horrible. After we had ordered our choices for dinner we overheard two other waiters tell their customers that they had some specials for the night. She never even told us of any special. I ordered a side salad and never received salad until one of the table servers brought my main dish and I told him that I had never received my salad and to just remove it from the bill. One minute later she brought my salad and I told her that I did not want it now that my main course was here.she got kind of defensive but after three times having to tell her it was a little late she finally took it back. if I ever go back she will not be my server. She is in the wrong career!

We had Sunday brunch at Muldoon’s to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We enjoyed the ambiance of the courtyard. The service and food were good quality, but it wasn’t anything special. We’ve come here in the past and will likely come again for the right occasion. It would be great if there were more vegan food options.
