Shawn ODonnells at the Farmhouse - Mount Vernon (WA)

3 /5 Mercedes Kim: I really wanted to like this place because, as someone raised in Florida, I had a favorite Irish restaurant. ODonnells just pales in comparison. We ordered snacking bacon, and it was just 3 thin strips of basic bacon with one strip having multiple different temperatures. It didnt feel fresh...I had hoped for bacon cooked to order. Our entrees also came super fast. I ordered the chicken pot pie, and unfortunately, the temperature varied depending on what part of the pie I tried. It seemed as if the pot pie was reheated in a microwave, oven, or something, and it was not reheated well. Our server was also lackluster. She didnt check in with us about how our food was, or we wouldve told her about the pot pie issue. We waited and waited, and it wasnt until after my husband had already finished his entire entire that the server came back. There was also a miscommunication or something because I wanted a replacement pot pie, but after I said that was what I wanted, she just took the pot pie off our bill and never brought me a replacement. She didnt even ask if I were sure I didnt want anything else because then I wouldve clarified. The espresso martini was fantastic, though I guess Im not too surprised because theres a huge variety of alcohol here. I wouldve been shocked if the cocktails were bad. My husband ordered the plate with corned beef cabbage, and colcannon. His entree was at a solid temp, and he said it was good. I tried his colcannon and liked it. We ordered dessert since I still wanted to eat something. My husband got the bread pudding, which was great. I got the creme brulee, which was just okay. I didnt care for the sugar cookie on top, and the dessert overall tasted a bit too sweet. I strongly suspect a lot of food here is not made to order, and that clearly hurts the quality of the food. I also think the server we had needs a bit more training in timing, checking in, and communication. I doubt well come back. I dont think the owners or whoever would change anything based on my or anyone elses review. But, if you want quality Irish food, look elsewhere. It isnt here.

5 /5 Justin Brummage: We had such a fantastic experience here! The staff made us feel right at home with their warm and friendly welcome. The menu was packed with a variety of Irish dishes, all priced quite reasonably. The restaurants ambiance truly captured an authentic vibe, from the charming decor to the delightful music. We had the biscuits and gravy, it’s definitely a crave-able dish that will have you returning again!

5 /5 Kyle: Phenomenal place for great food and drinks. Staff was friendly, and the food came out so fast. The soda bread was great. I had the Bangers and Mash with a Guinness, and I couldnt have walked away happier. Will definitely be returning.

5 /5 Shawn McKenna: If your in the mood for home cooked Irish meals this is the spot to stop by! We almost wanted to order everything on the menu! They also have great condiments on the table that we never tried before like Brown sauce, and a horseradish type yellow mustard and was delicious!! I ordered the Shepards pie with Lamb and my wife got Corned beef and cabbage and both were great dinners! This place has become my favorite restaurant to go to!! This is definitely a place I would love to have a birthday dinner at! We started with the poutine fries and soda bread and that really hit the spot! If your in the area we highly rethink place for dinner and or lunch! We WILL be back and will try to knock out as much of the menu as well can to try Everything! This place is a must to try at least once! The service was great super friendly! We stopped by with no reservations but would highly recommend if you do not want to wait a little bit if the bar is full, but kitchen brought out amazing places with tons of flavor! Thank you guys it was an amazing meal tonight! 6/27 around 6:00pm dinner service! Cannot wait to be back and as well they have a dog park at inside the parking lot as well!!

5 /5 Egirl Kalamanani: Lovely waitstaff. Larger location than Everetts. Huge banquet rooms. The shepherds pie was good, but not super flavorful. Fish and chips was flavorful. The crispy coating is well seasoned. The cornbeef meal was a little shy on the meat.
