Was at this place on the weekend.. can't speak highly enough about the service.. so on point. The bartender was great and fast and it was a busy night. There was a group of young women who were causing a scene and the staff was able to manage it with respect and professionalism. I was thoroughly impressed by the food/ service and environment. Felt a bit bad for the staff having to deal with the rude group.. but I guess that's the nature of the beast in their hospitality industry.

The atmosphere was amazing and the drinks from the bar were very well done. I did find the food a little bland and canned tasting, but the rest completely makes up for it! I'd come back for drinks any time!

My very good friend and I love to go to different places/towns/cities for lunch. I had never been here before but my friend has once. We chose to go September 5th. Absolutely gorgeous pub. It’s huge. There’s access to a private expansive area offering dining and entertainment Thursday through Sunday. The tin ceiling in that area is dark black with a beautiful wood bar and red plush seating. I was speaking with our server Onya about the decor, she said the owner had everything made in Europe, Victorian inspired, and had the pieces shipped over. The result as I mentioned earlier is absolutely gorgeous it’s as if you’re seating in a pub in Ireland. So authentic. I started with a very refreshing and delicious Blueberry Smash Mojito - Vodka, Chambourd, Blueberries, Lemon, Ginger Ale and Mint. 👍🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️ I experienced a supremely delicious Apple and Brie Grilled Cheese, boasting a delicious blend of sliced apples, dried cranberries, brie cheese, and arugula on crispy sourdough bread with a side salad and a dill pickle … ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻🙌🏻🤤😃💯 Carol had a very delicious Brisket Grilled Cheese, smokey beef brisket with brie and cheddar cheese, caramelized onions on crispy sourdough bread with a side salad…❤️❤️❤️ It wasn’t busy at all, regardless our server Onya was very personable a definite asset to Doc’s. Thank you Onya!!!! Highly recommend!!!!!

This is located at the front of the best western. There is a direct entry from the hotel to the restaurant. No outdoor needed. The environment is clean and smells good. We were seated quickly and took 2 mins to be assigned a server. The server was polite. She assisted us to even make options. The tea and coffee was cold. All in all, the food was not bad. The prices need to be a bit more competitive.

Stopped in for lunch and the food was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back when in the Niagara area again. All our apps and main dishes were 10/10 but we were all amazed over the boxty fries and the bacon jam that comes with the soda bread. Can’t wait to go back and try more off the menu as it was so hard to choose. The Brisket grilled cheese will be in my dreams tonight!

We can hear for dinner with our friends and we got seated right away even though they were quite busy. The server gave us a bit of time for our drinks and got us our drinks soon after. We all got suggestions for our food and it was all delicious and we got completely stuffed. We had a really good time and would definitely recommend this place for dinner.

My husband and I dined here on a Saturday evening and our waitress was outstanding, Attentive, professional, and prompt. The food was terrible. Having ordered the fish and chips we were shocked that the fish was mushsy undercooked and not even crisp. This was something we thought would be a slam dunk in an Irish pub. NOT. The prices are high so the meal felt like a real disappointment given what we paid. The staff and the atmosphere were wonderful. Our recommendation is to go for lunch or happy hour, enjoy the ambiance, a drink and share a half price appetizer. But manage your expectations on the food.

This restaurant was a special find! We were looking for some place to eat after a day of shopping. We stopped here because it was close. Come to find out, they make a good portion of their food right there! Even their corned beef! Everything was delicious!

My wife and her co workers went to this establishment after their work christmas party. They ordered some drinks and went get some more. When they got to the bar tender he ignored them, they kept trying to get his attention, he turned to them and said Im not serving you because you guys arent tipping! They got into a shouting match. In front of other workers and customers he told the other bar tenders not to serve them. Finally one of my wifes co workers got a manager and they printed out their receipts and proved that her group were tipping the whole time. The bar tender apologized and the manger offered them a free shots. By then they were all upset and embarrassed by the whole ordeal and decided to go to another bar down the road. My wife on the other hand was emotionally hurt and wanted to go home so I just went and picked her up. These ladies dont go out often, the one time they get to go out as group to have fun and some jerk bar tender just craps all over it, its not right. Would not recommend. Dont ruin your night by going here.

Our server Milena was polite and prompt. Unfortunately, our food was just not worth the price. The gravy was brown water. I must say, however, the main reason for this review is the managers bad handling of a parenting (or lack thereof) situation. A large group arrived before us containg approx 10 adults and 10 or 12 kids. im guessing in range from 4 to 10. The children were seated separately from the adults and were left completely unsupervised. Free to curse, yell, throw food, and run about the very tight dining room. Kicking and punching each other, bumping others chairs, and making conversation in the room basically impossible due to their loud voices. I, in no way, hold the restaurant responsible for others behavior, but when we were apologized to by several staff members and told that the manager had repeatedly asked them to settle, to no avail, I began to wonder why they had not been asked to leave as adults behahing similarly would have been. Clearly, our comfort and enjoyment was not considered. Lack of professionalism on the managers part destroyed my meal and many others tonight.

Great shares - fish and chips with an extra piece of fish! The nachos with blue cheese - outstanding! Definitely a share plate. Must have dinner at the bar to watch Isaac, the bartender, create some awesome drinks! Sorry we didnt stay for the band! Back again! Yall have to fine Isaac the bartender to whip up his new creation - pumpkin patch! Jack Daniels Apple, Amaretto. Turn the flaming cinnamon stick upside down and use it as a straw! Had the wings with suicide on the side and tried the massive crab cakes with tartar on the side. Had a pint of Brimstone Sinister Minister IPA (Ridgeway, Ontario). Orange and pine sap notes. Very hoppy, 7%, IBU, according to the BeerAvocate is 90.

Doc Magilligans has curb appeal and cozy pub decor but the food is just not worth it. Maybe if youre drunk? But any sober person would turn away days old, leftover Shepherds pie thats been stuffed into potatoe skins or heat from frozen crab cakes. Really disappointing. All I can say is do better and maybe dont suggest the food is homemade.

Have been 3 times and will definitely go back again whenever I visit Niagara Falls. The staff are always friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. It is beautifully decorated. If you love a pub, this is the place to go. Music is varied, pop with some Irish style music added in. I have not eaten there yet, but I plan to someday as the menu has a wonderful variety of options to choose from, I am sure must people would find a food selection they would enjoy eating. The prices are well, not bad, its the Falls remember, lol. Parking: There is parking right in the front area/entrance of the building. This pub is I believe part of a hotel. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair ramp accessible to the front entrance, and the bathrooms are also wheelchair accessible

Took a video to record the matter restaurant manager tried insinuate I did it to my own food Saying they just got visited by the health department and had stunning reviews blah blah blah.... and that he had a camera in the place I told him to go get the footage and I would wait he said there was no need he took my food off the my bill handed it to me and then told me I had to leave..... I didnt pay for a thing I walked out as he was trying to say he was going to call the cops for theft.... I told him go right ahead as I have the video of me finding the cockroach in my food along with the health departments number.

It was 3:00 so they were open for awhile. Not sure why it was so strong. Parking: Only a few spots up front.

Amazing pub, was so good we went back the next day, we went and ate off the late night menu and that was really good. We had Irish Nachos and cauliflower wings, both really good. Next day we went for the lunch/dinner menu and it was SOOOO GOOOOOD. We had fish taco boxty and steak and mushroom boxty which was also really good. But those fish tacos are the best fish tacos Ive ever eaten ever 11/10. Would highly recommend. The inside of the pub is really neat too, all the furniture is cool. 11/10 would drive back (we dont live in Niagara) for the fish tacos alone.

First time there and we went as a group to celebrate a birthday. It was very busy and very loud, this contributed to me feeling a real lack of atmosphere, other than a few food items, nothing like an Irish pub at all. Our Server told us they were new and couldnt answer any questions we had. They were friendly but not really too helpful for information or recommendations. We ordered a couple of appetizers for the group, which took about 30 mins to come out. They were tasty, we had spring rolls and Irish nachos. I asked if one of our party of 7 could have their Fries cooked crispy and was told its really busy, I doubt it. I ordered a steak & mushroom boxty - potato pancake wrap and it tasted good and was big. Lack of parking spots didnt help the experience either. $300+ for our dinner with a couple of drinks for half of our group. Would I go back? Maybe, not on a weekend, thats for sure. Semi-miss for me! Parking: Very difficult to find, restaurant was busy and maybe hotel guests park there too?

Delicious food and great service. Went for lunch and was surprised at how fast the food came out. Parking: The parking lot is small so give yourself time to find a spot or park at the grocery store down the street and walk.

I recently visited Doc Magilligans Restaurant & Irish Pub for the first time, and I was thoroughly impressed with the service provided by Server Stephany. Her attention to detail and friendly demeanor greatly enhanced my dining experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food was delicious, and the overall ambiance was fantastic. I highly recommend Doc Magilligans, and I look forward to returning soon!

So happy with our experience here! There is a small parking lot there so you drive without having to pay to park. The atmosphere was fabulous. Great decor and interior. Our server was so kind and attentive. They were very helpful in making sure my 8 year old son got exactly what he wanted for food, very accommodating. We had the fried Reuben bites as an appetizer. It only comes with five pieces, but it was enough to whet our appetites and they tasted great. The steak and mushroom pot pie was sensational. The drinks were tasty and strong. Really enjoyed our time here!

Was in Niagra Falls all the way from Scotland to celebrate my 50th and found this great pub/restaurant. Bethany who is the owner and who also was our waitress made us feel very comfortable from the minute we walked in. A fellow Brit (Liverpudlian) so was great to be myself. The food was so delicious. I had the shepherds pie and my husband the homemade curry. I even got cake to take away with me. Drinks also great. As it was out on the Wego Red line was alot cheaper for a meal than in central niagra. No tourist tax either. Would highly recommend and if I am ever back in Niagra Falls this will be one place I will definitely be heading to. Ideal as has a best western hotel attached to it. Thank you Bethany for making myself, Susan & my husband Mark very welcome.xx

Visited this spot because a sign out front said stouts & porters but was extremely disappointed to find they had no porters at all and only Guinness as a stout. So if you are coming here for good beer youre in for a bad time. However, the Ruben boxty I ordered was delicious. The fries were lacking and my partners Shepards pie was also bland. The service was top notch, and if you enjoy live music the cover band was pretty solid too. Overall I walked away unsatisfied as I was craving a good beer but if you just want a tasty boxty then this is the place for you!

I ordered the steak and mushroom boxty with sweet potato fries and a pint of Killkenny and it was AMAZING! Absolutely delicious! Staff were very friendly and attentive. We went on a Sunday afternoon when there were local musicians singing and playing gorgeous Irish tunes. They do this every Sunday from 1.30 to 4.30 pm. I highly recommend you check it out!

The food was excellent, we got the Reuben Boxy and Docs Meatloaf. The only problem was the server who had a really bad attitude. She walked away from us when we asked why we had to wait for almost 50 mins to get served. She said it was a change of shift and she walked away from us. Stating that we need to look for another server!.We were the first table to arrive and the last to be served. We were almost not able to eat there. We talked to Kenneth, and he said he was the manager and he said so what? did you gave her an attitude?? I just asked if we could be served as we were hungry and told him that we were going to pay, and that we were not asking or begging for a free mea.Our bill was around $100 plus a not deserved tip (except because they change this bad server for another, super nice women server!!). Too bad that the food is delicious and the service is really bad. Some employees should be replaced by someone who wants to work and knows more about customer service! Im attaching a picture of the server who walked away from us, and the delicious meal we had, (hopefully they didnt spit on it!) I am sure that as a business owner if you treated better your clients you could make more money, and you servers more tips!

This is my first time visiting this restaurant, the service overall was very accommodating and quick, but the food was just way too oily, there is too much cheese and oil on the chips and the chicken on it was not good either, the fish and chips were way too oily and bland, the burger also fell apart as I was eating it, and had also too much oil with the Cesar salad also tasted like it was store bought and the little bits of bacon where way too chewy, as a pub this place is OK but there were a little children running around screaming at a pub, it was nice that they had a band playing on one of the nights. The beer also was good, but the food was not good at all. They need to change it to make it less oily. I did not even finish most of my food.

This pub was GORGEOUS! A true hidden gem in Niagra Falls! You are literally surrounded by Irish pubs of the past! Greeted and cared for by top notch staff! And served food of distinction filled with love! Boxty fries and Irish nachos were phenomenal! Definitely try the Onion Ale soup! Our entrees were outstanding! Shepherds pie, taste of Ireland, meatloaf and the corned beef melt! And a perfect whiskey sour!!! I chose this place to celebrate my 49th birthday while vacationing in Niagra Falls!!! It was AMAZING! Truly a feast for the eyes, soul and belly! Thank you for helping me celebrate!

Dinner was great had chicken curry boxty which is Potatoe wrap filled with chicken curry I had a side salad which was really good very tasty some spice washed down with a glass of house red. Staff polite and friendly and it was pleasant as there wasnt lots of TVs on as that does get annoying. Breakfast was as good as dinner very well presented tasty fresh and enjoyable will look forward to going back again.

Service was good. Once inside, I only waited about 2 minutes before being helped and sat at a table. The waitress was friendly and checked in frequently to ensure I had everything I needed or if I needed anything additional. Food was alright, a little overpriced for me, but it wasnt bad. Food

I took my beautiful gf to this restaurant (or rather she took me) and although our order wasn t taken for a long time and we had to sit around for a while, once this inadvertent error was discovered, staff was very fair and accommodating thereafter. Our waitress, Holly, was very professional, attentive and provided exceptional hospitality and service. The food was good and the live music was a nice touch too.
