The Auld Irisher - Orange
Had a great time tonight with Kelly and my parents here. We had already gone to the Auld Dubliner over in Tustin (review will eventually be posted) so we decided we’d check the Irisher out as well. They pretty much are the same, in fact the same group appear to own the franchise, these two just have different owners.
We started our night off with some drinks, I had a terrific Belgium White Beer called Hoegaarden which was very light and tasty. Kelly had a Magners Irish Cider which she didn’t care for, so I had to drink it, and my parents just some normal mixed type drinks.
Our food was delivered quickly, I would say it took about 10 minutes for our meals to arrive. My parents both got Fish and Chips which they both agreed were good. The fish was a pretty good amount and looked like it was freshly battered fish. Kelly got a traditional Irish meal of Rasher and Boxty, which is a type of Irish Bacon folded inside a potato pancake with cheddar cheese on top. She liked it although the rasher is pretty salty to have so much of. I settled with a traditional Irish American dish of Corned Beef and Cabbage. The corned beef had great flavor it was thinly cut and had just a touch of a Irish cream sauce on it that enhanced the flavor, especially when I mixed in some cabbage with my forkful.
Our waiter was real nice and came by our table a number of times to check on us. I was impressed especially since the place was so busy because there was a Anaheim Ducks game down the street at the Honda Center.
Sure the place isn’t a “real” Irish pub, heck it’s not even one of the touristy trap Irish pubs they have in Ireland, but it’s a nice place to go and hang out with some friends and have a couple Pints (20 ounce Imperial Pints, might I add!) of your favorite kool-aid.

This pub has great beer, great sandwiches and potato soup. However, I had two very different experiences as a customer. The first time, I was with my husband on a weekend afternoon. The service and the food was excellent. Love the corned beef sandwich!
The next visit was on a weekday evening with an older female coworker. The atmosphere was very corporate-dude, which was generally unpleasant. The waitress was fine, but the food was awful. Our salads were fussed with in the kitchen far too much. My spinach salad smelled strongly and was nauseating to taste. The appetizers were dreadful - cold curry fries, and another potato appetizer that was soggy with a cold, fatty substance. My dining partner refused to leave early or return any food, so she paid the bill (and took home lots of leftovers)– a glutton for punishment?
I’d go back, but during the day for beer and sandwiches.
we have been going to the restaurant from the beginning.always had a good meal.our last visit was not good.i ordered fried zuchany before the meal the dip portion was so small we had to order another.i had ordered a club sandwich,in the past very good my wife ordered a chili dog.we waited and waited finally after fifteen to twenty minutes we flagged down another waiter.he brought our dinner.my club was terrible.my wife could not eat her meal.we asked for a doggy bag and left.what a shame service use to be so good and the food so good.have they cut back on both?
our recent meal during the week was also not good and service also bad.i think they have cut back on quality and service,
