Patricks Pub
Reviews
I have ate here with my wife a few times now. We have never been disappointed with the food, or the service. The place is packed with T.V. 's, has an outdoor patio with two flat screens, and a great view of the sunset. There is a bar with great views of said televisions, booths, and tables for inside dinning.
The Ruben was pretty good, albeit it was a mess taking it apart to add the 1,000 Island dressing that they serve on the side instead of putting it on the sandwich before grilling like everywhere else on the planet, plus, I had to send it back to be grilled properly.... it was originally served on warm bread instead of being grilled to a golden brown. The French Fries were inedible!!! Like limp greasy noodles. Perhaps the worse fries I've ever been served. My $5 chocolate fudge cake was just as bad as the fries. It was a store-bought piece of crap, the size of a muffin, that was over-nuked in the microwave. I actually burned my finger while pealing the paper cup away from the biggest waste of $5 one could imagine. I usually have 2 or 3 glasses of sweet tea with my dinner, however, I could only get one glass because they ran out 45 minutes before stopping food service. So I asked for water... I was brought 1/4 cup full??? I guess they were trying to rush me out, even though there were about 15 other people in this "Sports Bar" watching the 8th inning of a Pirates play-off game on about 8 big TVs... And there was still over 20 minutes before closing. Either that, or they ran out of tap water as well??? Don't thing I'll be eating there again.... unless every other eating establishment in Cumberland closes, including the fast-food joints (and I hate fast food, but it's still better than Patrick's Pub). I will say that the service was good... but the fries, cake, and lack of tea ruined it for me. For about $5 more, I could have gone to Lavale and had and awesome steak, with a great salad, my fill of tea, and wonderful fresh bread.... I would gladly drive a bit further and spend a bit more money for real food. If you want to get drunk and watch sports on several TVs at once, you might like this place. But if your sober, and hungry for good food, drive on past and look for ANYTHING else.
Good food. Cold beer. Do it.
