In Short – This independent bar and grill endures amid encroaching chain imitators. Dark wood and dim lighting create an ever-present evening effect. A long strip of outdoor tables includes diners in the sidewalk scene. While the menu does offer eclectic options, it is heavy on '80s barroom standbys. The best entree may be the 12-ounce burger with its juice melting into a chewy Italian bun.

BAD CARRY OUT

by go123

Food portions were very small, and I'm a small person. Extremely small portions not worth the price. The food was ok nothing to crave.

Great Brews - Environment & food to boot!

by SewMamma

Wonderful place to meet friends, or family for a Great local brew (support Local) and Dinner! The menu is excellent with many selections on the veggie and non-veggie tip. The duck tacos are fantastic, the hummus trio is to die for and the chicken sandwich is one of my personal favorites. Oh did I mention the JerkK Chicken? muy bueno.

I just experienced their lunch menu for the first time and was highly impressed by the simple but tasty food. I had the grill cheese & tomato soup which was wonderful. The service was fast and friendly which makes having lunch out essential. They just starting serving breakfast so I shall have to try that sometime soon!

I have been to Bridget Foy's several times and just recently the privately owned restaurant has changed it's look to fit the style of a hip but welcoming dinning spot - check it out, you will not regret it!

  • Pros: The food and atmosphere

Disappointing Brunch Experience

by subdose

First let me say this: I am not one of these people who likes to write negative reviews of everything. Take what I say as the unexagerated truth.

I went to Foy's with my parents and lady for brunch on Sunday. The server was not very friendly, but whatever, he's working a crappy shift. Atmosphere was nice.

I ordered the crab/corn chowder and the Eggs Benedict with Filet Mignon, medium rare.

After what seemed like an eternity, I asked if my soup would be preceding my entree this morning, and it was finally delivered. The soup was good.

When my Filet Mignon Eggs Benedict arrived, I quickly realized 3 things: 1. This was not, in fact, "Filet Mignon" but a disappointingly bland cut of meat Thin, rubbery, and overcooked, which leads me to 2., it was not cooked medium rare, but very well done. And 3., the poached eggs were undercooked, the whites were runny and clear.

The most irritating thing was that they were misrepresenting the steak as filet mignon. I said something and it was taken off the bill. Everyone else enjoyed their meals.

  • Pros: Nice atmosphere
  • Cons: Food was disappointing.
