raglan road irish pub and restaurant

this was such a fun place to eat! expect it to be busy and crowded. there was irish dancing and a delightful live band. someone should teach the band members to smile once in awhile.

i had the stew and the wife had the shepherds pie. both were very good but i would give the edge to the pie. theraglanroad stout was excellent if you like dark beers. i tend to like them a bit more flavorful but that's a personal thing. i think most other dark beer drinkers would really enjoy it.

stopped in for the fish and chips, crisp and meaty, not oily as i've found at some places. almost forgot, the house tartar sauce was excellent.
theraglanstout was tasty, as was the red. was very happy with the choice. even decided to try the bread pudding (never eaten it before) and enjoyed that too.

very cool place & great food to boot. what can i say,other than that i wished i was irish when i leftraglanroad. entertainment was great fun, loved the beer flight and my meal was magnificent!

our sever was genuinely happy to be there and given they were so busy and she had a lot of tables, she somehow managed to keep good tabs on us and do it all with a smile and a great demeanor. very impressed.

the selection of beers, whiskey's and drinks was as expected given the size and type of place it was and i really would recommend the beer flight, great way to sample a series of different beers from around europe.

the food, wow, very good. i was expecting it to be very commercialized and have a franchise feel to it, but i would have been wrong. the food was interesting and thoughtful. traditional irish quisine with a modern take, while maintaining the intregrity of the dish. i had bangers & mash and it was spectacular! my dad had the chef's choice pot pie of the day which had a middle eastern influence and was delicious.

anyone who has not been here should try this place out, very, very good. you will not be disappointed!

this is a fun place to go to if your in the downtown disney area. it's a big place with a beautiful rotunda ceiling. there are 2 large bars (from what i saw) and a stage. the place seems circular so i would think most seats are pretty good for any shows that are going on. most of the staff that we delt with were friendly and efficient but not irish. started with a celtic martini, very good but not very strong, consisted of bushmills irish honey, rum, pineapple and citrus. dh got a flight of beer. our appetizer of nom nom wings were really good, they are sweet ‘n spicy wings tossed in a honey, chili flake, soy & ginger sauce. they were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. our bread basket was a dark bread, not sure what the bread was but the dipping sauce was guinness, sugar and olive oil. my entree ofraglanrisotto was creamy and delicious, it had shiitake mushrooms, peas and shaved parmesan cheese, only complaint here would be that some of the mushrooms were a little to chewy and the shaved parmesan cheese was inedible. dh's salmon of knowledge was cooked nicely and the maple glaze on top gave it a sweet, crisp taste, very nice. of course the best part of this place is that at 6pm you get free entertainment with the irish step dancers, they were very talented. wonderful show. there is more entertainment throughout the evening. great place even if your not irish (which i'm not).
note: it surprised me that the ladies room was missing supplies and not very clean. come on disney, get on your game!

we visitedraglanroad after several recommendations from a facebook page i am a member of that talks about disney food.  i was very excited and had high hopes.  from the time we arrived, i was disappointed.  we waited about 30 minutes past our reservation time.  while we did have a good view of the stage, it was a high table that backed up to the bar so it felt very crowded.  our waitress was ok, service could have been a little better and more attentive. our appetizer was the spicy shrimp which was good but the shrimp was like the frozen bag shrimp you can get in any grocery store.  my daughter ordered the silly steak and i should have told her to order something else when we were told it only comes medium well because of the cut.  it was terrible, i think she ate 2 bites.  i had theraglanrisotto which was good.  i was really looking for more flavor from the peas.  my husband ordered shepards pie with cheese.  it too was just ok.  i expected more flavor.  we also got a couple of sided the bacon baked beans which were just awful.  the beans were crunchy and i didn't taste any bacon and the au gratin potatoes which were our favorite part of the meal.  i know people all have different tastes but i really don't see what all the hype is about this place.  other than the dancing maybe, it was wonderful!

nothing better than good food, entertainment, and service!raglanroad is one of my favorite spots in orlando. the food is amazing and so it the entertainment. now, when i go i love nothing better than to have a smithwicks beer with my dinner. the beer is just so good that i love having it with dinner even though i don't drink much.

we ate here on monday, the day before i left town. the bread and reduced guinness is so amazing! the guinness reduction is sweet and blended with the oil is is like having flavored honey on your bread.

when it comes to appetizers, you cant go wrong with the ribs. they have the guinness reduction on them as well, and are mount watering amazing!

for entrees i went with the shepard's pie. not only is it beautiful, but it is so mouth watering and tasty.

if you are a chocolate lover the dunbrody's kiss is amazing. lick your plate clean good!

when it comes to the entertainment; between the band and the dancers you cant go wrong. it is just so fun it is sad when the night is over. i hope you enjoy it as much as i do!

we have been toraglanroad three times (twice for meals, once primarily for drinks), and we have been very pleased with our experiences. although there is a lot of competition in downtown disney / disney springs, every dish we have eaten (with one minor exception) atraglanroad has been a standout.

the menu consists of a wide variety of irish pub dishes, dressed up a bit in many cases. it also manages to incorporate florida seafood dishes with irish preparations. the beer offerings are extensive, with many british, irish, and amercian beers on tap.

our most recent trip was for lunch in early august. we had the beef carpaccio and crock o' pate appetizers, and both were outstanding. the beef was especially high quality. for entrees we had the schnitzel savvy (fried ham schnitzel with a fried egg and smoked bacon baked beans -- very irish, very delicious, very heavy) and the cluck curry (the only slight misfire of any dishes we've tried here -- it was fine but lacked the bold flavor you're typically looking for in a good curry). in the past, i remember that the saucy salmon entree is particularly well-cooked and seasoned.  for dessert, we sampled a pair of traditional irish "puddings." the bread and butter pudding, which we've had twice now, is extremely rich but unique and really good. the steamed orange pudding is even better.

another great reason to come toraglanroad is the authentic irish atmosphere. the dining room flows between eating areas and numerous bars, all richly appointed with wood. the main dining room is focused on a stage where step dancers and an irish rock band perform throughout the day and night. many of the wait staff and seemingly all the performers are irish. stained glass windows add to the irish vibe. service has always been very competent -- nothing problematic or outstanding about our visits either way.

overall, this is one of the most distinct cultural dining experiences you'll get at disney outside of epcot, and it is well worth a trip.

having loved this restaurant as a kid as it was one of my family's favorite places to take out-of-town guests, i had pretty high expectations and couldn't wait to come back and rediscover them all over again.raglanroad's rollicking sunday brunch runs from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm and features an expansive menu featuring lunch, brunch, and breakfast dishes accompanied by authentic irish music and step dancers. the combination of the three makes for a lighthearted affair that's sure to please every member of the family.

this post is about our first dinner in orlando, which was atraglanroad at downtown disney. the first thing that hit me aboutraglanroad, after seeing the pretty irish dancing girls hanging out in the entryway greeting customers that is, was how absolutely packed it was, even at 5:30. due to traffic caused by construction delaying my wife’s sister and brother-in-law, i got to spend a lot of time wandering around the shop just outside the restaurant and worry if we would ever get a table. luckily, though, we were seated soon after they arrived since my wife had made reservations for us. we followed the hostess, weaving our way around a line of i

ihhhrland. beer. mmm. at 4pm on a weekday,raglanroad is pretty quiet. right up until the band gets going and the beer flight settles in! we were satisfied with the food but we ordered pretty run of the mill stuff: fish and chips, gratin potatoes, and colcannon soup. the chips are cut as found in ireland and the irish soda bread was good and nutty. a recurring thought during this meal was feeling like a soup and fish replay from rose and crown at epcot. i'd ordered the same things again which actually tasted the same but it served as a good test...both places offer good quality at predictable prices.

that’s really the lowdown atraglanroad: gluten-free onion rings, skinny chips, fish and chips and a few other breaded items can be made in their gluten-free batter and fried in a dedicated fryer which is housed in a separate prep area of the kitchen. both times i’ve been here, i’ve asked lots of questions and asked for plenty of clarification. both times the servers have been knowledgeable and i’ve had a safe meal. on this most recent trip, we asked a manager a few questions while waiting for a table. he assured us the servers are well educated and are quick to ask for a manager’s assistance if they need to.

oh i almost forgot! there was dancing atraglanroad! frequent irish dance performances entertain you while you eat, and you can’t help but get caught up in the atmosphere, the energy, and the food.

raglan road irish pub and restaurant is nestled within the downtown disney shopping and dining complex. for those seeking a wonderful sunday brunch, a traditional sunday dinner or a weeknight escape to a festive atmosphere,raglanroad irish pub and restaurant should be at the top of your list, year-round. i recently visitedraglanroad for their popular rollickingraglansunday brunch...

stopped into theraglanroad irish pub and restaurant while at downtown disney with my girlfriend yesterday for lunch and it did not disappoint! the food was great as was the service from our waitress, jen. we had the dalkey duo for an appetizer which was something that we had never had before--battered and fried sausages with a mustard dipping sauce. i ordered the shephards pie which was fantastic. the girlfriend had salad and soup which consisted of puréed potato, cabbage, and bacon--very tasty! we also split some of the "skinny chips" as recommended by other reviews and they were great! fries doused in garlic, shaved parmesan, and truffle oil. there was only one negative which would be how dry the soda bread was--i normally buy it at publix a few times a year and would have preferred to have gotten it from publix thanraglanroad. other than that, we had a great experience and will be going back again!

great anniversary dinner!. my wife and i recently celebrated our anniversary atraglanroad. we had travelled to florida with my wife's grandma who volunteered to remain at our condo and look after the kids for the night so it was our only night out together on the trip and we chose carefully! we love canadian east coast and irish music so that heavily influenced our decision. the entertainment was as advertised. great music and great dancing. the food was also exceptional. we shared smokie city as an appetizer which was a delicious mix of smoked seafood & cheeses. i then had the "not a chowder" and my wife had the pork chop. the soup was very good and had a lot of different seafood, cooked perfectly. the pork chop was huge and had a very nice sauce, although the pork itself was somewhat dry. then came desert - and honestly one of the best deserts i've ever had. generally not a fan of bread pudding but as the waitress put it "she would later it all over her body and have a bath in it" haha. my wife and i agreed. amazing. my only complaint would be that it was a tad to "family friendly." we were looking for something a little more "pub-ish" but that is hard to come by at disney if you're looking for good food as well.
