Must try!!! Their Shepard's pie boxty was delicious. Gravy was perfect, everything evenly balanced and full of flavor. Try the carbomb sauce as well. A bit of a kick in spice, but not heat with 0 flavor, it was amazing.
I went for a late lunch with my mom and had a nice time. The atmosphere was friendly and clean. We tried the mac & cheese balls (amazeballs if you ask me). Mom had fish & chips and I had the shepherds pie boxty. Everything was delicious and completely unerstated (I only got one pic, so I better make my way over for another round.?) The cocktails were also good.My only negative comment is that the burgers I saw coming out are considerably different than the photos in advertising. I'm aware of the photography practices for food but this is a pet peeve of mine. I'm realistic but I still want it be close. I'll see if the taste compensates for the lackluster presentation.
We went tonight because of the live entertainment. It was awesome & authentic. The musician, Shane Farrell was fantastic. The food & service was great as well. We have been there a few times before but the live music makes it a much better experience & less sports bar vibe. It's nice to have that type place in Oviedo. You should definitely try it out or go back again if you haven't!
I went here a year ago and Irish 31 had good service and the food was great and worth the price. Soo disappointed in the quality and quantity of the food I had for lunch yesterday. The fish and chips were horrible! Oil soaked fish were soggy with no crunch and the fries were wimpy. The condiments were small and if you ask for extra tarter sauce, they charge you over 60 cents. Service was slow and bad also! The Manager would come out and frown at everyone. Not worth going back!
Excellent place and service. I had the stew appetizer, and it is a new favorite now. The salmon was great, and I had the Reuben Burger. If you are hungry, that is what you might want. The combination of hamburger, corned beef, and Swiss cheese, on toasted rye is magnificent. It deserves more than katsup, maybe mustard, or Irish 31 Whiskey Sauce. The fresh Harp pints and cider all make this an amazing place, highly recommended!
I was at Irish 31, Oviedo, FL on March 17 (Google maps will confirm) I am Irish/American and was there from 11 am until 8 pm. I observed extra decorations for guests on this St Patrick's Day ... along with the front of the house employees dressed in the spirit of St Patrick's Day and not their normal way. How festive. There was a special menu that included a large portion of corned beef, cabbage, carrots, potatoes -- delicious ... along with green beer and special cocktails for St Pat's. The individual musicians and Irish band really added to a sensational day.You can tell the management put a lot of thought into making this a special kind of day for St Patrick's Day. It was simply amazing as there were extra bartenders, servers, hostesses, and beefed up kitchen crew to make sure things went as smoothly as possible. Kudos to the management, the front of the house and the back of the house to make St Patrick's Day 2022 at the Irish 31 pub in Oviedo, FL most memorable.It is so nice to have this family bar/restaurant located in Oviedo, FL. Long overdue ... indeed!It is my pleasure to go there and submit this review ... Harrison E.
The Shepard's Pie was great! My partner had the fish and chips and said they were yummy. I tasted this low because of the 2 staff at the table next to us, standing there taking about the schedule, I assume at least one was a manager of some sort, and gossiping about other staff. This went on fire the entire time we were there.
Here's my 2 cents' about Irish 31. I was in on a Sunday, mid afternoon, 2pm-ish. There was about 3 tables taken but I wanted to sit at the bar. The Red Ale had a crispness about it and a nice chill. I ordered the Fish and Chips upon debating between that and the Shepherds pie. Amanda, the bartender, suggested the Fish and Chips because I had not eaten much that day. Good portion and very hot, which is always nice. The tartar sauce seemed in house. It was heavy on the mayonnaise but the vinegar added with chopped dill pickles made it ok. I prefer more pickles in mine. The fries were so crispy with a great chew for the middle. Good stuff! The fish was ok. This is why..... At first, the fish was great with a wonderful crunchy batter. By the time I got to the second piece, the bottom was oil soaked and fell off. With the third piece, I just left the oil soaked pieces there. I would suggest putting all 3 pieces on the piece of lettuce. This would lift up the pieces enough to not cause sogginess. All in all..... it was a great place and when I'm out this way, I will definitely stop by again.
Think of it as an Irish Sports Bar. Nice Irish pub style design, complete with coffered ceilings, dark wood, and wide bar. They have a selection of draft and bottled beers (including their own house offering, along with Irish whiskey, scotch and other liquors. The food includes pub fare (like Fish & Chips) and sports bar stuff (Chicken Wings). Also some dessert options. If you like sports? There are 15+ TVs to choose from. There is also optional outdoor seating.
We ordered lunch as an office and wish we could return all of this food. The salads didn't include all the ingredients they listed, the chicken was the thinnest piece of chicken I have ever seen, maybe a table spoon of other "toppings" and they charge $14?! Will never order from here again and neither will any of the other 5 people in our office.
