Gillian's Irish Pub - Dunn, North Carolina

We needed to stop for gas on the way home from the beach and were hungry for lunch, too. We saw this pub and decided to give it a try.

Our waitress was so sweet and made sure all our dining needs were met.

Nicely decorated with an Irish theme, incl music, which honestly gets a little tiring after a while, but I get it. The lock in the ladies' bathroom was very unique!

My spouse had the broccoli cheese soup and house made chips that she enjoyed. I had the Guinness beef stew, which was filling and delicious. We both really liked the toast too. On a chilly day, our choices were perfect!

All and all a really good experience that would lead us back here again when in the area.

Stopped in for lunch, I’d been before and love the pub and the staff was great. I ordered the Cheeseburger ….. Gouda and American cheese…. It blew my mind, this was the best burger I’d had in forever. Derrick was the chef and did an amazing job . Joy, the server and bartender was on top of her game, best service !! Planning a repeat visit as we speak. Tom H

First time trying this restaurant pub,
The pictures are of what was suppose to be Broccli cheddar soup. It was watery, cold and had spoiled cheese or milk. Horrible, sent it back and our sliders came out out, and they were not tasty at all, one very small piece of steak in each, tough. Will not be going there again. The Bartender took the soups off but still ended up paying for the sliders.

I want to begin by saying that we understand this place is new so we intend to give them another chance. We are excited for this type of restaurant. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful inside and out. My husband and I decided to go try this place out after getting married this morning. We weren’t greeted but we grabbed a table and we were tended to within a few minutes. We ordered a few beers (nice and cold) and the spicy honey smoked wings appetizer. I’m giving the wings 9/10. Really great wing but the smallest I’ve ever been served anywhere. They were tiny! I tried to order the Shepards pie but was told they were out and that they would have more in about an hour. We asked for another minute to decide. When the server came back I tried to order the Guinness stew. Then the server went to the kitchen and came back and said they were out of that also. We then ordered the Reuben and the ribeye and a clam chowder. The Reuben was delicious flavor profile but the meat was spread very thin. There is no way it had anywhere near the 1/2 lb of meat promised (it was not even 1/4 lb). The clam chowder was pretty good. The chips were overcooked. I ordered the ribeye medium. It came out beyond well done and tough as a tire. You can see the edges of it curling up in the pictures because of how long it had been cooked. The server was kind and helpful and removed the steak and asked if I still wanted the mashed potatoes. The potatoes were delicious (I only took one bite) but I didn’t want to eat anything else off the plate since I was returning the steak. At this point we had already been there over an hour so we opted to not wait for a replacement steak.

Guinness stew and a cold Harp to drink made for a good visit. Service at the bar was good and food was enjoyable

Surprisingly smaller interior than expected, but has a cool bar as well as staffing. However food was bland and a tad pricey. $18 for an overcooked almost flavorless burger with good steak fries. Maybe drinks are better, definitely looked tasty from afar.

Delightful gem in Dunn, NC! Atmosphere was cozy, service was amazing! Walking in the door we were greeted with a hearty hello from the bartender. Great bar, booth or table seating. The food was legendary- we started with cheese curds pairing perfectly with draft beer. The showstopper was the Fish and Chips! Light, flaky, perfect battery and fry. Malt vinegar, cole slaw and chips.
Our server was Riley and she was an absolute delight, proud daughter of the owner. Yes, her mom is Gillian and her father is local to Dunn. Riley was so kind and made my birthday so special.
If you are in this area please support and frequent this amazing establishment. Food, service and Atmosphere just perfect! This place makes you feel like you are visiting friends and they serve your favorite food. Enjoy!

Started with the fried cheese curds. If you like garlic, they are loaded with it. Plus, they put them in a bowl, and they all melted together. The fish and chips were good, nice flakey fish cooked to perfection. The Ruben was very good. They don't skimp one the corned beef or sour kruaght. Great sports decor. If we are in the area, we will eat there again.
