Johnny Foley's - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The Chicago hot dog was absolutely bomb! I believe the bartender's name was Sebrina, and she was great, friendly, and attentive. The atmosphere was rated a 5, service a 5, and food a 5. The noise level was loud, but it was still possible to hold a conversation. The price per person was between $30–50, and there was no wait time.

I popped into Johnny Foley’s for a nightcap and dessert and had such a great time! We tried the Irish Soda Bread & Butter Pudding with Caramel & Bailey’s Custard Sauce—it was absolutely delicious. It was rich, comforting, and just the right amount of sweetness. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a relaxed night out. I definitely want to come back to try more of their Irish dishes like shepherd’s pie and the classic fish and chips with mushy peas. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great spot for traditional Irish food and drinks.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious. I also want to highlight the exceptional service, especially from our server, Kendall. She was amazing and took great care of our family. The atmosphere was also rated highly.

After reading many positive comments about this place, I decided to go, and the truth is that it disappointed me quite a bit. I ordered fish & chips, and the fish felt watery and bland, and the fries were the same as I would eat at a McDonald's. The service also left much to be desired; we had to keep chasing the bartender. (It might be a cultural thing, but he had a very bad attitude and didn't make much effort to explain the beers he had, limiting himself to giving me the menu). Honestly, for what I paid, I could have gone to a much better place.

My experience at this restaurant was marked by slow and unfriendly service. The drinks were just okay. We experienced a significant wait, with a 22-minute delay for just one martini and a beer, even on a weekday. The service from the hostess, waitress, and bar staff was notably unfriendly.

My experience at Foley's was very positive. The staff were friendly, and the interior had an authentic feeling. The food was hearty. I tend to stop by at least once every visit to SF.

Despite the rush hour on San Francisco streets, the pub offered a calm and cozy atmosphere inside. The food and drink were great.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was surprisingly good, and I particularly enjoyed the vegetarian shepherds pie, which was unusual and delicious. However, the service was just okay. While the prices were a little high for what you get, they seemed to be in line with the area. The vegetarian offerings were clearly labeled, and I would highly recommend it for vegetarians. The atmosphere was rated a 4, but the noise level was loud, though still manageable for conversation. There was no wait time.

What was your experience at the restaurant? My experience was fantastic! I had one of the best burgers I've ever eaten, and it was the best of my entire trip along the West Coast. The fish and chips were also perfect, and the crème brûlée was spectacular. Thank you very much for the warm welcome and excellent service.

I would go back to San Francisco JUST to visit this place. The service was spectacular and the seafood chowder was rich with flavors. The Irish soda bread pudding was the best I have on the planet! I mean it, even better than the sticky pudding I had at a great pub in Ireland years back.
