Sheehan's Irish Pub and Restaurant is praised for its unique, delicious food, and fun casual atmosphere. One reviewer even called it 'authentic.' It's a neighborhood favorite, known for its fresh seafood and a variety of menu options. The lively atmosphere and great service make it a favorite for many, with one customer even stating 'it was noisy, but it was a Friday night and the weekend is usually louder than during the week.' The owner's personal touch in welcoming guests also adds to the authenticity and warmth of the place.

    Abel Brown is incredibly consistent delivering beautiful tasty plates with friendly service. The bar serves wonderful cocktails and accommodate requests. The pork chop is my go-to meal, it’s sublime and I’m not even a pork chop fan; it’s that good. The wedge salad is picture perfect and dressed just right. Wish they had a broader selection of Pinot noirs and Cabernets but what they do offer is reasonably priced and very approachable. Thanks again Abel Brown. My family and I will be back soon.

    The She Crab soup was the best I have ever had. Usually chefs get the cream sauce to thick or to much sherry. This was the perfect blend. Had the Shrimp and grits with jambalaya. It was excellent. My husband had the fried shrimp and got a cup of she crab soup as well.

    I enjoyed a beautiful evening with friends tonight. The shrimp and crab cake appetizers were amazing!! I've had the NY Strip several times here and it's always been a 10/10; however on tonight something was off with my steak. I had to ask for salt and that's a first. No worries though... I brought the other half home and cooked it more in garlic butter on top of the stove. Everything else was great. Our waitress was absolutely amazing! Of course I will be back soon!!
