Fun restaurant with great food. Had a great time with our friends and will come back again. Food is exceptional and the service is friendly. The place is located in the heart of downtown Historic Melbourne. Easy parking and located in a great neighborhood.Meg O'Malley's authentic Irish cuisine and pub offers everything from the famous corned beef cuban to mouth-watering nightly specials and Sunday brunch
Great food and atmosphere! Great service as well! I had the Pub Trinity and it was fantastic. We live in Alabama and we were down visiting family. We will definitely make Meg O’Malleys a traditional stop from now on when we come down.
Prime rib sand $19.99 should have been called bread sand . Rack of ribs used to be called 1/2 or full now it's a reg or lg reg is 16.99 or 21.99 lg. He thought he was getting 1/2 when we got the bill it was a lg. No way was it big enough for a lg cause he can't eat a full we have been going there for 25 yr and I guess the menu doesn't mean the same Buyer beware
Great Irish pub! Friendly people dressed in Tartan, and many real Irish and Scottish dishes. The Bangers and Mash are great!
Friends suggested this place. The service was great. The food was flavorful. We had the fish and chips and a grilled chicken sandwich. Will definitely eat here again.
We were There to watch the first game of the Stanley Cup final (go Bolts). Although we did not get to do that, we did have the best corn beef sandwich ever. My husband is very picky about his corn beef and it was not fatty, it was very lean, very thinly sliced and absolutely the best tasting the two of us have ever had. Cool atmosphere with attentive wait staff.
We travel to Melbourne about 3 times a year, and always stop at Meg's, this time it was no up to standard. we ordered the mussels, and they were salty, then we ordered the potato balls, that we always get, and they had changed. no longer have the same taste, missing the cheese and other herbs, last we had the corned beef sliders, again no real taste, some of the corned beef, was very dry, almost like it was sitting out for some time, not sure we will be back
This is one of our go-to places - never a bad meal. Our most recent lunch was wonderful. My husband got the fried cod sandwich, which he enjoyed. Nice-sized beer batter-dipped filet on a potato roll. My dish was the star, though, lamb sliders! OMG. Ground lamb, mixed with rosemary, garlic and ground mustard, perfectly cooked, served on rolls with caramelized onions and herb aioli. 2 of them for $9.99 - a very satisfying lunch. Actually, we both added a cup of the 18-cent Parliament bean soup for our veggies.
I love Meg's so much that I typically request it, every year, for my birthday celebration (even though I live out of town). I would list my favorites, but about everything I've tried is excellent.
"Laughter is brightest where food is best." ~Irish proverbMeg O'Malley's isn't simply the best Irish food I've ever savored, but also among the best food I've ever savored, period.This traditional pub produces consistently excellent food, hot from the kitchen and crafted with attention to how both texture and flavor combine to produce visually and palatably delicious dishes.During my last visit as a party of four, I treated myself to many appetizers and sides I hadn't sampled; the results left me wondering what other amazing dishes on the menu I was missing out on.CHEESE & ALE CROCK - If you order no other appetizer, get this one! Perfect for tables of up to four diners, it's a lovely array of fresh-baked breads surrounding a melting mixture of Smithwick’s Ale, cheddar, and Dubliner cheese. I couldn't identify all of the breads, but each left a strong impression based on texture alone--a knotted one with the consistency of a pretzel, supple brown bread sprinkled with grains, airy soda bread without crust that melted in your mouth, and toasted baguette slices.POTATO BALLS - The piping-hot masterpiece of a marriage between corned beef and mashed potatoes, coated in a layer of breading and filled with creamy cheddar and zesty scallions. The hardest part is letting them cool for a bit before indulging.LOADED COLCANNON - An Irish classic! Treat yourself to the loaded variant for an extra-creamy coating of cheddar cheese and crispy bacon bits with a sprinkling of chives for taste.DRUNKEN MUSHROOM BURGER - One of Meg O'Malley's newest dishes, while not exactly a traditional Irish creation, drew me in with its siren song of blackened beef, whiskey-glazed mushrooms, soft Swiss cheese, and curling-crispy bacon on a brown-toasted potato bun. An absolute must for meat-lovers. There must have been half a pound of beef on it, and cooked to tender-juiciness.IRISH WAKE CAKE - Last, but certainly not least, no visit to Meg O'Malley's can end without indulging in a lush dessert. This one, appropriately dubbed "Death by Chocolate" sent my sweet tooth to cloud nine. Layers of rich cocoa, drizzled with Irish whiskey cream, massive enough for four people to share (especially after all those appetizers and entrees!). Raspberry sauce adds a ripe tartness to counterbalance the ultra-rich chocolate, while a dollop of extra-sweetened whipped cream provides the perfect, fluffy finale for your taste buds.And that's to say nothing of Meg O'Malley's interior, which takes great pride in its Irish roots. Inside and outside, it feels like stepping into a restaurant on the British Isles (a notion even more firm in my mind since a return trip from London). Wandering magicians occasionally frequent the restaurant tables, making the brief wait time for food even more entertaining; and, of course, this restaurant is full of lively chatter, bright laughter, and moments of memory-making (I've enjoyed a very lovely birthday celebration there, myself).That's to be expected though. Meg O'Malley's is where "food is best," after all.
