"Upon entering Harrigans, I immediately felt a sense of relief. It was clean, spacious, and didn't have the lingering smell of smoke or stale beer. The place was bustling with people, there was a band playing, and March Madness was on the TVs behind the long bar. As we were shown to our booth, we had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Sean Harrigan, and his wife. They were incredibly friendly and outgoing, offering their assistance since it was our first time there. Sean checked on us personally a few times, making us feel very welcome.
We enjoy supporting locally-owned businesses like Harrigans and the Harrigans themselves. Despite a delay in service due to a large family party, the food was outstanding, and the beer was cold, making it money well spent. The steak bites appetizer was phenomenal, perfectly seasoned, and tender. My wife ordered bone-in wings with honey BBQ sauce, which were cooked perfectly and served with delicious blue cheese. I opted for the cheesesteak hoagie, which came on a fresh roll with tasty meat and cheese, accompanied by fries.
One minor suggestion I have is to use Heinz ketchup instead of a generic brand. It may seem small, but it makes a difference to those who appreciate quality condiments. Despite this, the food was still fantastic and we are excited to return and try more dishes.
During our second visit, my wife had the wings again while I tried the quesadillas and bang bang shrimp tacos - both were delicious. The bang bang sauce was a highlight. The food came out quickly this time, and we enjoyed sitting on the deck, which had brand new trex decking. We are looking forward to spending summer evenings there and taking part in the various activities they host, such as car shows and happy hours on Saturdays.
If you've never been to Harrigans, like us, I highly recommend giving it a try. The atmosphere is great, the food is top-notch, and supporting local owners like the Harrigans is a bonus. We have found our new favorite spot!"
