liam maguire's

awesome burgers! the reuben is great too, and the service is always fantastic! my favourite meal so far was pulled pork mac and cheese (a lunch special) and it was out of this world. definitely a great lunch spot.goodspecials (cheap bar rail on thursdays!)

i've been here 3-4 times and have really enjoyed the food each and every time. my faves are the soups and the burgers, and the sweet potato fries are also great. the soups are always interesting and really, really tasty.goodselection of beer, decent service if you go early enough. i'll definitely be back.

good food, inconsistent service. i have eaten here quite a few times. the food keeps calling me back.
the menu consists of pub food. what you are presented with is better presented and tastes better than most of the pub food i've had. the kitchen is consistentlygoodat getting the food right.
the service has been both great,goodand underwhelming depending on how busy it is and who is serving you. i have yet to have what i would classify as bad service.
will definitely go back.

great food garbage service. i used to come to liam's quite often up until a year and a half ago when i moved away from ottawa. however the last few fridays at liam's have forever tainted my image of this establishment and it would take a miracle of biblical proportions to ever bring me back.
first off let me start by saying i do not usually write restaurant reviews however this time i felt compelled to. the food was great i found the menu to be superb for a pub and when our order finally was take thegoodwas ready within a reasonable amount of time. however the service i received was dismal. there was a bartender and a server working. the dining room was not even a quarter full but i still was waiting as if it was a dinner time rush. the server on the floor was running around dealing with the tables however the bartender who didn't seem very busy at all was standing around constantly on her phone and was over serving this extremely loud and obnoxious girl who seemed like her friend. when i approached the bartender to ask her if she could take her our order she glared at me and stated that the server would be right with me. and she then turned back to her phone.

this happened to me last friday and i thought perhaps she was just having a bad day however when i returned yesterday and received the same horrible disrespectful service from the same girl i realized that wasn't the case. i think liam's needs really look into who they have running their establishment when they are not around because this is a lovely place but the service just ruins the experience.

liam's. honestly, the food isgoodand the staff is pretty friendly. however, the wait times can be ridiculous, even when more than half the place is empty. i am part of a younger crowd, maybe that's why some of the waitresses tend to ignore us or wait longer before coming over to take our orders. however the environment is very laid back. they need to bring bar rail back for saturdays, if properly advertised could bring in a younger crowd and make more business.

acceptable pub food, poor service. dropped in on a quiet thursday night - only 3 tables on the patio (tables of 8, 4, and 2) and maybe 2 in the pub itself were occupied. yet for some reason, service was incredibly slow. the delay was all service based. half of our food orders came out in a reasonable time, the other half maybe 5 minutes late. perhaps our server was having a bad day. she was very pleasant, but the time it took to bring out our drinks, bring the bills and stuff was just far too long.

on the positive side, my roast beef dip was prettygoodand all my colleagues enjoyed their food as well.

worth another try when i am in the area, but certainly not going to go out of my way.
