"Salmon bowl, double cheeseburger, truffle fries and tater tots are all worth ordering."
"The Chicken Pot Pie is crazy good."
"Drink selection and food was delicious."
"The East Coast Oyster that we got to start were delicious."
"The Chicken pot pie, Shrimp and Fish tacos, Hamburger and Cobb Salad was great!"
"Had the grilled shrimp and scallops and they were fantastic."
Cons:
"I never ate a piece of meat that was so dry and tasteless."
"I have had two unpleasant experiences here and the food is subpar at best."
"Some of their dishes are quite good others seem unusual and disappointing to put it mildly."
"Mediocre food and warm beers. The steak in the tacos was dry and the fish from the fish and chips was also dry and made with way too much breading."
"Chicken on the salad was very dry. Leftover from the weekend I think."
"The food is overpriced and mediocre."
"Food was bland and unseasoned. The steak sandwich special was chewy and the mashed potatoes were not mashed and unsalted and who puts potato chips on mashed potatoes? Soggy mess."
Service
Pros:
"Service was great as well!! Thank you! I’ll be back for sure."
"Our server Kayla tonight provided outstanding service and I feel she deserves the recognition."
"Visited Egan & Sons for my mother's 82nd birthday. Service from the host to waiter to head was great."
"The staff was great and very accommodating!"
"Omg!!! The wings!! The drinks! The service!! This is the only restaurant after the first wave. Simply amazing, the servers have this (take pride in what they do attitude)."
"John was my server and very professional."
"Marie, our server was so kind and thoughtful, as were the hosts and again, Mike!"
Cons:
"Their junk credit card fees are not appreciated."
"Service got 4 stars only because we had a large party for a bday and they short staffed the servers thus resulting in waiting for drinks longer then normal."
"The wait staff was proficient but seemed to be going in several directions at once."
"The manager thinking she's above everyone else that works there and the tables being understaffed."
"He was incredibly rude when asked how much longer."
"Can’t speak for the food because we never made it that far but the staff is ignorant, lazy, and rude."
"The servers all hang out together at the bar talking and never turn around to see if their customers need anything."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"from the moment we arrived had such a positive vibe..great decor..food was delicious..portabello burger..beet salad and truffle fries were awesome..staff was super friendly and attentive..was my first time but already looking forward to my return!"
"Lovely parking-spot-turned-outdoor-seating at the back."
"A true gem of an authentic Irish pub, the bar and trimmings of which were shipped over from the family pub in Dublin."
"It was clean, loved the atmosphere."
"Cozy restaurant with great service!"
"The atmosphere was very nice with warmth, antiquity and artful decorating."
"I was impressed with the vibe and decorations - cozy and rustic."
Cons:
"Waited for table for 50 minutes only to be given a high hat next to the front door with the cold breeze coming in."
"Once we finished the waitress was no where to be found."
"Just walked in AND OUT of this place in less than 5 mins. My wife and I pull up and catch a park right in front, so we think it’s a sign of good luck. NOT!!"
"Not sure if its because of covid or worker shortages but everything is self order and pay on a smartphone."
"We were ignored at the beginning as our waitress was busy with other tables and didn't come to ours at all."
"Waitress didn’t put in a meal, refused to acknowledge it."
"The rest of the meal you could tell she didnt like us because when we would ask for a box or even the check, she just stormed away and didnt answer."
Value
Pros:
"I had the angus sliders for $12 - a real bargain."
"And the price point was definitely reasonable for the area, maybe even on the cheaper side honestly."
"Above average food and the prices were fair for the quality, also really good quality beers on tap."
"The burgers are great, as is the fish and chips, but it is the Thierry Henry bar pie that always has me coming back for more."
"Great spot! Definitely would recommend it to anyone who enjoys good groovy music and a beer at the bar."
"This spot is one of my all-time favorites in Montclair, from their in-house microbrews to their amazing food selections, wonderful cocktails and drinks, to their great staff and their amazing napoleon style pizza in their 900-degree custom oven."
"Some of the tastiest pub grub around."
Cons:
"$48 for Filet Mignon? Place has no business charging that kind of money for a meal, let alone for a lousy, small piece of meat."
"Food is reasonably good but over-priced."
"The food is overpriced and mediocre."
"Price wise it is a bit high - i.e. things like fries don't come with a burger."
"Good tasting food, but on the pricier end for what you get."
"Inattentive and lower quality service. $2 for a few extra bits of pita. $12 for a dry, crappy chicken breast on a bun, plain with all the garnishing missing."
"Probably the worst food I've ever eaten."
Parking & Location
Pros:
"The best part is they have a parking lot which, is good for Montclair."
"Parking is available on the side street and meters in front."
"They have a parking lot which is a bonus."
"Location, location, location! When I tell you the outdoor seating area is no joke, I'm not lying!"
"So excited I discovered this restaurant in Walnut St!!!"
"This was definitely a great place to go eat."
"Egans is not just an amazing bar in Montclair, it's a landmark."
Cons:
"One of the most chaotic situations I've ever seen, with several valet-esque spots and a lot of drivers looking agitated and confused."
"I want to say I like this place but they have to close due to hurricane Ida. The two-star rating isn't because they were closed, but about the fact that they didn't feel the need to update their website or social media or Google business page."
"It was pretty crowded for mid-afternoon."
"It was a nice establishment. Food was really good. Rather crowded and when they sat our party of 11, they did so right next to front door."
"Never had a bad experience but today was odd. I asked the bartender if he can put the Mets game on and he said he would. He never did, then acted busy when I tried to get his attention."
"So disappointed in Egan's last night. We had a reservation for the 'snug' and when we arrived, they had given it to another party. We ended up on the patio, where we first were told we could not order food even though the group next to us had a table full of hamburgers."
"A bit disappointed. Me and my boyfriend have come here multiple times and it used to be such a great vibe."
