Irish Wolfhound

Food here is okay. I got the meat pie, which I liked at first few bites, but its gets sort of boring… it doesn’t have a lot of different flavors in it. Its pretty much a one-​noted dish. I took my husband here after because I was craving the pie crust off the meat pie… but my husband really didn’t like the food here either.

What a great place to have some great food, drinks and atmosphere! The lamb stew and the Irish sausage was so awesome. The lamb was so tender it just fell off the bone. The happy hour drink prices are not half bad either!

Very good. Had the corned beef and mash. Waitress was fast and super friendly. Will definitely return.

Super sad. They no longer have the Pub Steak that I love so much. It really was a huge treat for me. So we will likely go to another place from now on. There’s no lack of steak places around here. I just liked the Wolfhound’s take on it.

Real Irish lunches and dinners. Gourmet level food. Guinness beer and other brands. Try the Irish stews. My favourite is the Fish & Chips.

When I lived in the area, I’d come here occasionally for a few drinks. I really liked the patio outside, I could take my drink out there and smoke. I don’t remember which night of the week they had a DJ, but I enjoyed it. Can’t really say much about the food because the only thing I got there was a salad, and it was pretty decent.

Had a nice time. Good food, good service, nice atmosphere… Irish breakfast & barbecue chicken salad were great. We will definitely return.

We stored in for some cocktails. There was a band called «The Real Thing» they were awesome and Amber our waitress was spot on! Funny, a little politically incorrect (which is absolutely a plus!) Attentive and just cute as hell. My long island iced tea was perfect which is a difficult thing to find.
We didn’t eat they but next time we ate in town, rest assured we will be back to see how the food is. Looking forward to the shepherd’s pie.

As Irish Pubs go, Irish Wolfhound can hold its own fairly well. But lets be clear, this isn’t a hole in the wall or a historical pub like a Seamus McCaffrey’s. This is very much a suburban restaurant moreso than a pub. Basically what you’ve got here is part pub, part music venue, part sports bar. A formula that somewhat resembles the Irish pub trend around the valley I suppose. The other thing that stands out pretty quickly when you’re here is the patrons. Being just a stones throw from Sun City West, you can pretty much surmise that this ain’t no 20/​30s hangout. Nevertheless a friend of mine invited me to join her and her crew for dinner so to Wolfhound I went.
The restaurant is embedded within a shopping center complex on the southeast corner of Bell and Litchfield in Surprise. When you walk inside the spaciousness of the place is immediately perceptible. You’ve got a huge main dining area (with both a main bar as well as a second bar on the side), a pool table room to the east and a large outdoor patio to the west. Between all three spaces I’m guessing they could pack at least 200 people in this place if they wanted to. We came on a Tuesday so the place was probably three quarters full. There was a live solo guitarist doing his thing in the main room while patrons interchanged between listening to the music, watching the TVs, and conversing.
I figured I’d skip the bar food and go straight for the Irish dishes. I started with an app of Irish Sausage Rolls. Three Irish sausages wrapped in a croissant-​like pastry dough served with plum and mustard sauces. The app portion was a little smaller than I expected given that it was $ 9, but the sausages and the plum sauce particularly were quite good. The mustard sauce didn’t really do anything for me, but that’s just me.
For dinner, I went old school Irish and got a Coddle. Basically a bunch of comfort food items boiled and dumped into a bowl with its own broth and topped with mashed potatoes and soda bread. The other players in this dish? Red potatoes, pork shoulder, Irish sausages and assorted veggies. I was actually surprised how light the dish was. Even the mashed potatoes weren’t as heavy as I expected. I loved the soda bread (kinda wish they’d given me more), but the meats lacked much of any flavor beyond the broth. I’m usually a bangers and mash guy so maybe I’ll go that route next time.
Total price for the Irish Sausage Roll app, the Coddle, a pair of Smithwicks beers, tax and tip came to about $ 40. The price wasn’t too bad, though I can’t say with total confidence that I got my money’s worth. That said, the restaurant is well kept and the live music we listened to was cool. Again, an overwhelmingly senior citizen crowd (at least on this night) so it wasn’t too rowdy or energetic in there at all. It’d probably be fair to say this is the most family friendly Irish pub I’ve been to in the valley. Interpret that however you wish.

I was in town for some training and ended up here a couple nights, because after the first night, I found I was on my way back the next night.
Great layout with seating areas for families and a great wrap around bar. They had a fantastic tap selection and a great food as well (including some traditional Irish selections). Whenever I’m out I’m the far west valley, I will make it here for sure!
Wolfhound burger and $ 2 PBR draft, pretty good bargain btw.

Not my favorite fish fry!
Where is the fillet slices of fish I asked. Found out you don’t get fillet fish on the fish fry all you can eat. So what I got was three chunks of cod, like large scallops. Not the way I like my battered fish. I llike to taste some batter and know the fish is cooked all the way thru.
And the plate was not generous. They could have served more cole slaw and fries to fill up the plate. This was 14.99, not worth it as I only eat one plate anyway.
Hubbys irish stew for 15.99 was a generous plate, delicious veggies and meat falling off the lamb shank. He was all happy!
Will not try the fish fry here again. Dont bother with bread pudding, it was tasteless. Had to ask for more whip just to add flavor.

Went on a weekday and sat outside. I had the Red breast chicken and slider sampler. Very good and very reasonably priced. Outdoor area doubles as a smoking area so with a few more people this wouldn’t have been as pleasant. Music was not overly loud and traffic was minimal.

Great food, drinks and atmosphere. We love the Wolfhound for all occasions. The food is excellent, Whether you are into traditional Irish food or not, you will have a great meal.
…and of course, the bar is always a good time!

Fish fry on Friday nights is the best, great food and great drinks. Staff is always friendly, even when it gets crazy busy they are still upbeat. You guys have an awesome place, I’ll always come back! Keep up the good work.

Traveling for work landed me in Surprise Arizona. On the last night of my travels I discovered The Irish Wolfhound. Starting with a glass of Jameson and a Guinness I still had two more meals to expense for the day and I was starving.
Round one: Fish and Chips, very popular and highly recommended. Nothing special or fancy about them other than just being delicious. Sometimes thats all you need.
Round two: Bangers & Mash this had a new twist on it than I have seen in some other places and like the fish and chips very delicious.
Very friendly atmosphere and staff. I was dissapointed I did not find this place earlier in my trip.

Fun place to go. Nice energy and great service. Food is a little above average for «bar» food. Portions could be better on some items but overall its a great place.
Have had several menu items and all tasted fine. Fish special was so so. Found the grease levels pretty high. Maybe that’s OK if your drinking a lot of Guinness?
Servers are top notch. Always fun and lots of positive energy.
Trying to make it a weekly place is hard with so many area options.
Prefer lunch as its not elbow to elbow plus they have several lunch specials.

It’s Sunday afternoon and we are looking for an alternative to the usual. As we drive down Bell Road we spot Irish Wolfhound. I check out the reviews on Unilocal and we decide to give it a go.
I ordered Shepherd’s Pie, which came with soup, and hubby had corned beef and cabbage. Both meals were served piping hot and were good.
Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. A guitar playing, song singing duo provided good music and took requests.
All and all it was a good experience and we will be back.

I have only been to the Irish Wolfhound on team trivia nights (about a dozen times over the last few years). I like the décor and the food is good. My go-​to item here is the Reuben. I have had the larger corned beef/​cabbage platter in the past, as well as a couple of the soups and salads. Of course, I don’t go here starving, but order to have something before/​between trivia rounds. The Reuben with a side cup of barley soup usually fits the bill.
One thing that I could do without is their hidden practice of charging a different (read higher) price for soft drinks ordered once trivia starts. It is a pretty shady practice, especially since it is not mentioned upfront. I only noticed because I ordered iced tea before things started, and a relative ordered hers 15 minutes later and two prices were on the bill. The waitress was confused, and thought that she would be able to fix it. BTW, our tab was about $ 65 pre-​tip for a 4-​person table, so we we were not exactly nursing a tiny order just to play trivia. Her manager stood his ground over this silly, deceptive practice. Nice move. There are two other trivia locations in Surprise and several in nearby areas. Guess which Irish-​themed place has dropped from first to last in the rotation. Over a matter of a couple bucks they have lost multiple visits.
But we still visit, just less often.

This place makes great food and the service is great. Waitresses are friendly and know many of their customers. Came here two days in a row. Loved the corn beef and cabbage.

Awesome! I found good food near my house! All you can eat fish fry! Nice quiet place with billboards and darts! (Not the real kind) Authentic décor. Plus the games on tvs. Outdoor smoking section!
