Houlihans is a great place to grab lunch ! Their lunch menu is a great deal with lots of options. Emily went above and beyond to make my experience with my grandparents the best. She is a great waitress, they are lucky to have her here
We LOVED Emily and had a truly amazing experience. She was great with our 1 year old daughter. We’ll be back!
Was here the other night with friends and we had a great time. Gia was our server and she’s the best, so sweet and gave us cocktail recs which were AMAZING. I had the grilled atlantic salmon and it was delicious. Definitely go here for a night out!
Our dinner at Houlihan’s in Ramsey was very good, but our server, Gia, made the night great. She was super helpful, and recommended the perfect meal for my daughter who couldn’t decide what to order. The menu is vast, and there were so many choices. Also, when the kitchen screwed up my order, Gia immediately took care of it with a smile. She quickly brought out my correct order and it was yummy. Gia repeatedly checked on our table, and she was not only extremely pleasant, but also very witty. We will definitely be returning to Houlihan’s, and we will request Gia as our server again!
Emily was such a gem! Treated us so amazing and recommended the wings. They were so good, we ordered 3 different wings for the table! Such a big fan of this spot, we come back every year when we’re in town for the Renaissance fair.
The food was good, and Lisa, our server, was fantastic. I had the fillet. It was cooked perfectly. I got the mushrooms and potstickers as appetizers. I preferred the potstickers. Both the butter cake and creme brulee were delicious.
Sonia was our waitness, she was an incredible woman! We had some allergies at the table and she was quick to compromise those needs, the atmosphere was calm and very clean. Service was amazing, and the food was delicious! I definitely recommend coming here for quick service and lovely dining.
Last night was the first time I’ve been to Houlihan’s in several years. I’m so glad we went. The waiter was exceptional. My family and I specifically loved the prime rib, fillet mignon and ahi crusted tuna salad dinners. There were six of us and we ordered two appetizers- mushrooms and prime rib eggrolls. There was plenty for all of us. Their horseradish dip is really good! Especially when dipping French fries :) I’m looking forward to going back soon 👍🏼
The food is delicious! And the service is great, they are super kind and friendly! We didn’t wait a lot to get the food! 👍🏻
Andrew immediately greeted me at the door and asked my preference of table. I especially appreciated this option because I have limited mobility and preferred a bright, upbeat space. My server, Sonia, greeted me promptly. She was friendly and professional and made some great recommendations. I was parched and when I shared that fact with her she brought me two iced teas right away. I told her she was my hero! Lol For my app I loved the tuna tartare with won ton crisps. Then for the entree I chose the grilled salmon with garlic green beans. I requested that the fish be lightly grilled. When I received it, the salmon and the green beans were perfectly prepared and delicious! I’m so glad I chose Houli’s this evening for dinner. I had a tough day and the upbeat ambiance, friendly and skilled staff and delicious food made all the difference in the world! Thank you, my family and I will be back soon.
