B. D. Riley's Irish Pub & Restaurant At Mueller

Good vibes for a casual date night. Food was great and our server was friendly, but we waited 15-20 minutes for our drinks and then another 15-ish minutes for him to come back to grab our bill to pay. Our entrees came out quickly, though! Maybe there were other factors at play but it did impact our overall experience.

The food was amazing, great spot in the mueller area. They have a wide selection of beers on tap. The interior is so pretty, loved it. Our server Zachary was alright. He said the appetizers were half off, but failed to explain which ones. I ordered an appetizer right after he said half off and when the bill comes along and i ask why I didn’t receive the discount for the app, he goes, “oh yea, not that one.” He was good at remembering an order without writing it down, but that’s pretty much it. Our celery never arrived at the table, and after checking in once, he disappeared. We noticed how the table next to us received wayyy better service than we did, disappointing experience. He brought over the check after we had finished our meal, and forget to ever come back. After 10-15 minutes we decided to leave cash instead of waiting for him to take our card and left.

Food was good, if a little bland, but I’ve been told that most Irish food is bland so my fault for wanting seasoning (ignorance on my part). (There was some hot sauce, but not super spicy, more for flavor.) We went at 1 and were told that only the brunch menu was available. The Full menu is only served at dinner which was such a bummer. Another thing is that on a Saturday at one while a UT football game is going was really chaotic to find seating for a family of 3 so families beware (again, my fault for forgetting football exists 😂). Ordered a hibiscus cooler, but most of the hibiscus was at the bottom so the flavor wasn’t really mixed thoroughly. Still good for a warm day, if a bit bitter. All in all, for the portion and price, specifically for “pub style” food, was ok. Was good for a pinch with a hangry toddler, but not likely to come back as the food was not very flavorful. Again, good, but not worth a drive out specifically, ya know? I’m unable to comment on the taste of alcohol selection, but there was a variety.

Pretty busy but they were fast with the food. We sat outside because it was hard to talk above the live music. We had Irish nachos which were fun and very different. The salsa was sweet which we didn't particularly like. Veggie burger was decent and my friend liked her shrimp. Also the cocktails were pretty interesting and not bad. Had to flag down a couple of waiters to get food ordered but there are lots of them around so it wasn't too bad.

Fun pub bar located near the Muellar park, very cool area and great indoor/outdoor seating. My family was visiting from out of state and this was the perfect spot to satisfy our hunger. Soccer game was on so restaurant was bustling. We were sat at a table fairly quickly. Ordered the nachos huge portion piled high with all wonderful toppings. We also had the fish n chips they were very crunchy and the fish taste fresh. Hots wings were pretty good too with a side of blue cheese dressing n celery. My fav was the BLT! Thick pieces of bacon, thick slices of tomatoes, crunchy Texas toast and plenty of lettuce, yummy!! Our waitress Olivia was super friendly and provided great service. There is plenty of beer on tap to choose from.

Definitely a proper pub, but had the air of a sports bar when I stopped in. Guinness and Magners on tap, both very good. I ordered the steak sandwich (mistake). The potato wedges were good, but the "rib eye" (definitely NOT rib eye) was overcooked, rubbery, and tasteless; along with the peppers and onions on it- absolutely tasteless. Not a bad joint, I'd stop in again and give it another go since the drinks were good. And hopefully they make something more tasty to eat next time.

Located near the park and very cool area. The Reubens was okay but could've used more meat. Seemed compared to others this was the least amount on a sandwich I have had. Fries were good. Other meals were good but nobody was gushing over their choices. Bloody Mary was tasty. Wish I had tried the fish instead, maybe, maybe next time
