Irish Kevins - Johnson City

We stopped at Irish Kevin's with some friends for some food and a few drinks after an outing. This was a Thursday night and the establishment was not very busy. On this visit we sat at a booth but were asked to come up to the bar to order our food and drinks. Not a big deal as our party was fairly big and there would have been a lot of split checks. On this visit we were looking for simple food and appetizers were half price, so we ordered the chicken tenders app with the thick cut fried potato chips and honey mustard dressing, a side of Mac and cheese, and ordered a round of drinks (side bar: Jack and Cokes are served in a tall draft beer glass here, which is a super positive for me). The food took some time to get to us considering it wasn't busy , but it arrived hot. VERY hot. The chicken tenders tasted good, but I was a bit disappointed in the rest. The thick cut fried potato chips were okay but were salted heavily. The honey mustard dressing skewed quite a bit to the mustard side of the spectrum while I prefer my honey mustard the opposite. The Mac and cheese was probably the most disappointing, being very plain and having no real flavor. As far as bar food is concerned, I put the quality of the food at par. Now, keep in mind we did not touch any of the Irish food that Irish Kevin's has on the menu! The bangers and mash, for example, sounded great but we just weren't feeling it on this visit. There are plenty of other reviews that rave about the Irish food and I would have no problem giving Irish Kevin's another shot to see how they do with a proper Irish course. Overall, our visit to Irish Kevin's was positive. We were able to get dinner on the cheap and while there were some disappointing aspects to the food it wouldn't keep me from coming back to try the Irish selections.

Disclaimer I am a relative. Kevins hosted a recent family event . The Irish periogies were to die for !! Best comfort food ever.

Great place for a drink and dinner with friends. As a local, this is a routine place when some friends come to town. The staff is always attentive and takes care of its customers. Would highly recommend.

Great food and great service! We always have a great time here!

Stopped here for quick bite, played some music on the online jukebox . Nice selection of beers on draft, plenty of room inside for sitting and standing. Reuben sandwich is great!
