Whet here last night for the first time, saw that they had prime rib as their special thought, I would give it a try. We walked in the place was empty. There were about 12 people out in the patio area, which was absolutely beautiful.
When I saw the lack of people in the place, I decided not to try the prime rib went with a burger and fries to be safe, which was OK because it was medium well and I asked for medium rare. Our server just threw all the place mats and menus in a pile on the table didn’t distribute them. Didn’t tell us about any specials and was not very good at her job. There was also a strong smell of propane on the deck area that we asked about twice and were told oh it just does that. It’ll be a couple years till we try it again. Maybe when they’re under new ownership.
If you’re looking for a great place to sit on the patio and have a beer this is it, do not get food or expect good service.

Went on prime rib special night. The service was poor W E had 2 orders of the prime rib that could barely be cut with a steak knife. The manager said that yeah we’ve been getting some tough prime rib from the place they purchase from. The other meals at the table, I’m told was good. Had to search for our server for drinks, check etc. received a gift certificate for the bad prime rib. Very disappointed
The place looked nice inside. If I go there again I won’t get prime rib

You Need To Know! Had no wait getting into the restaurant. Ordered potato pancakes, pizza, filet sandwich & a berry almond chicken salad . The pancakes were an appetizer but not worth 12 bucks for 5 mini cakes. The pizza was fresh dough but yet bland. The chicken salad was large but yet nothing special as well. The filet sandwich was juicy & excellent. Chopped filet with bacon, provolone, seasoned arugula & garlic aioli. This sandwich was a sure winner! Now You Know!

The young servers were excellent, and the restaurant was very clean. However, I was disappointed with the food. The ribs and brisket were overcooked, dry, and should not have been served that way. The soup was acceptable, but overall, the food quality needs improvement.”

This is second time here. First time we had excellent service and amazing food. We just recently went again and sat outside at the bar. Bar service was very good and the bartender was was nice, friendly and polite. Unfortunately our food was poor. We ordered a pound of peel and eat shrimp with bay seasoning. Which is priced at 18.00. We were served plain shrimp with butter and was already peeled and deveined. We informed bartender and said she would take care of it. In less than a few minutes we got the same order of shrimp back which was recooked with bay seasoning which were not peel and eat as described in menu. They were not tender at all since they were re cooked.at this point we just ate them because we did t want to make a scene. We should have had a new order of shrimp served to us, not recooked. Our second order we split a turkey club sandwich which was just as disappointing.
Such a shame since we had such a positive experience the first time and so disappointed in it the second time.

Wow! I wish I’d visited Cavanaugh’s long before this. Quaint hometown Pub environment with excellent service and varied cuisine to suit each pallet. Just the right selection, and I’ll definitely be visiting again.

Food was decent but it was really over priced bar food, the service wasn’t bad, but it was really dirty inside and outside. None of the tables were wiped off there was dirt on the floor inside and on the deck. There was still Christmas decor up on the fireplace and it’s June. The sliding glass doors to the deck were full of fingerprints. It was a Sunday afternoon and no one was in the place so no excuse for it to be so dirty. I will not go back.
The table we were seated at in fact was not wiped off and the waitress never offered to clean it. Very disappointing.

Cavanaugh’s has a new chef in the house and the food is better than ever before! Service has improved as well. The live music and the atmosphere is just as great as ever! Love having a nice little restaurant/bar in Mt Top with a Beautiful outdoor space!

Took my teenage son out to the Grille tonight after a baseball game and must admit I’m a little disappointed. I ordered what was advertised as an 8 ounce Angus burger but when it came out, it was clear it was no more than a quarter pounder and it was well done instead of medium. Not only was it smaller than the bun and half as thick as I expected, but the fries were also served cold and were small little schnizlets and not breaded as advertised. Perhaps most frustrating of all was the pitcher of Kona Big Wave Ale was $21. I guess the lesson is buyer beware. I should have asked first. There are usually ~31 pitchers of beer in a half keg so that would be 650 bucks for a keg that average is about $170 retail – roughly at 400% profit margin. Our bill was $55 before tip for two people and we did not order anything superfluous or have any appetizers or desserts. Fortunate my wife and two daughters weren’t there but it’s unfordable for a family at that rate. My son got the vodka pizza and that was good, as well as his Caesar salad, but the price of the beer was outrageous and the hamburger was half sized..

Had a burger that wasn’t as advertised. A lot smaller than the menu presented. Pizza was good. Service was great.
