Sir Edmond Halley's

Wonderful food with a great vegetarian selection and fantastic patio setting. The only reason I am not giving five stars is because we unfortunately had a surly server. While everyone else who came to our table was cheerful and friendly, he was inattentive and seemed to be in a bad mood. Such a shame, because it was otherwise a fantastic experience. I would definitely go again and hope for a different server.

Everything you could ever want in an English/Irish pub. As a northeastern-er I've frequented my fair share of great pubs in NY and Boston and Sir Edmund Halley's is up there with the best. They have an excellent and diverse menu with some classics such as fish & chips (some of the best in Charlotte) and Shepard pie, along with non-traditional pub food! My favorite part of the experience is sitting on their incredible patio under the string lights sipping on a Guinness late in the evening!

It's easily 20 years since I first visited Sir Edmond Halley's. I loved it then and up until two days ago, I would rate them as having excellent food. But this past weekend I visited with a couple of friends who were new to town and it was just so-so. It still had that cool underground vibe (like when you were a kid and it was AWESOME that your friend's dad installed a full bar in his basement!) but the service and the food were such a let down. My friends were a little high-maintenance with multiple questions about the menu and drinks and it was clear that our server Heather, was losing patience. I suggested to my friends that they order the french fries (which used to be my favorite in all of Charlotte) but they came out soggy. I ordered the Buffalo wings, and while they were a little dry, the flavor was good, EXCEPT one of the five wings was just a breaded bone, with no meat at all. And when I pointed that out to aforementioned server, she just shrugged and said sorry. When she came to pick up my plate I said I hoped she wasn't going to charge me for that bad wing but guess what? She did. I know in the big picture it was just a $2 chicken wing but if the server doesn't try and make it right, why bother? Between the poorly prepared food and the blah attitude of the staff, it was such a disappointment. I won't be returning.

Visited again and tried their cheesy potatoes as well as their ostrich meatloaf and their Guinness chocolate pudding my favorite was the potatoes and the pudding was very rich, highly recommended! ******* Nice hidden spot at park road shopping center , it's down the stairs and behind the strip mall , I liked the atmosphere and the outside seating . I had their fish and chips it wasn't the best I had but was decent enough and the wings that were good . The service was good and location was clean , will probably visit again and try more items from the menu .

We stopped in for a beer and an order of the ostrich meatloaf to bring home . I was hesitant but it was delicious !! Smithwicks beer a new favorite ! Sam was pure fun .. she works hard .. on top of orders and friendly ! We will definitely go back !

I have wanted to go in this place for a while and finally did. We got here right as they were opening. The bartender and staff were really cool about it. We didn't eat, just had a couple of drinks. Their patio is so beautiful and tranquil! The bartender pours a nice drink! He gave us some insights on some upcoming events like trivia night they were having that night on mondays! They usually have a pretty good crowd. It's not a very big place, but it definitely feels homey. Can't wait to come back and try the food! Prices vary on what you order.

As a British guy Eds has a great home from home pub atmosphere. Go sit at the bar, you'll soon be talking with people you've never met before. Friendly staff and great food. Fish n chips is my go to with a pint or two of Old Speckled Hen.

We found this place by accident as the Korean was closed. What a find! I just wish we lived closer. The British food on the menu was really well cooked and they actually use ground lamb in their Shepherd's Pie... Probably a first on my experience. In addition, they have a really extensive and reasonably priced menu. My bangers and mash was really good and my wife loved her fish tacos! The service was exceptional and we were made very welcome by our server Maury. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit.

Especially if it is late night you should come here. Lots of choice, and over this side of town it stays open til 12, which is not the case for a lot of other places around here. And I am seeing the signs on the menu of a vegetarian or a vegan helping them put it together. They don't go to a late night bar menu- they just serve everything until midnight. Lots of choice- tasty stuff. Do it.

Sir Edmond Halley's is a hidden gem tucked behind Park Road Shopping Center--almost giving off speakeasy vibes with its discreet location. If you park in front, just head down the stone stairs next to CO Noodles, or you can park in the lower-level lot for easier access. I went for their Monday night trivia, and it was a blast! The place was packed, the energy was great, and the trivia itself was fun and engaging. It's definitely a solid spot for a casual night out. I just had a salad and an Aperol Spritz, but from what I saw, people were really enjoying the classic English pub fare like fish & chips and pints of beer. I imagine their patio is a perfect hangout spot in the summer for a laid-back drink or snack. Overall, a cool spot with a lively atmosphere--especially on trivia nights! Definitely worth checking out.

This was a cute place! We came here on a Thursday night and it was pretty packed! I like how it's kind of off the path, so it's more of a IYKYK kind of place. We got a table quickly and our server was friendly. So nice to get a cold Irish beer. We had the mussels and fried zucchini as our apps. Both were very good. For our meals, we had the fish and chips and the veggie plate with sweet potato fries. Everything was great, it was fresh and hot. Service was a little slow, but I know it was busy!

Sir Edmond Halley's was the first English Pub in Charlotte and they have stayed true to that. They were actually the first place in Charlotte to have decent beer on tap. In the early days, they had several selections imported from England on draft. They still have Old Speckled Hen and Guinness but many of the other taps are occupied by great local craft beers. They have a full bar and make nice drinks. They also have a decent wine list. The food is very good featuring some dishes you wouldn't expect to find in a British Pub such as Jamaican Jerk Quesadilla (highly recommended!). Another dish I am fond of is the Lemon Chicken. They also have fantastic wings and burgers! Now for the traditional Pub dishes: *They have the best Fish & Chips in town!* Their Guinness Stew is authentic and very tasty! Their Bangers and Mash (Mild English sausages and mashed potatoes) is authentic and quite tasty too. Many people really like the Shepherds Pie and it is a good representation of the dish but not the best I've had. Of course, the best that I've ever had was in a small family owned pub in Ireland so that's not all that surprising! In the traditional British pub style, this place is very chill and is a great place to talk with friends over good food and drink. This place has been around for years and has stature in the evolving craft beer market in Charlotte. It is not to be missed! Cheers!

A more traditional British establishment that feels pretty old school compared to restaurants in the area. Food was decently priced but not very flavorful. Great little pub scene with cheap drinks. Tucked behind park road shopping center, it has plenty of vegetarian options and traditional British foods. It's a Charlotte staple that has been around for a while, so if you're a local- gotta check it out. If you're just visiting there are better options.

I marked my review down a star since my last visit because I ordered something other than the fish & chips. Pro tip: never order ANYTHING except the fish and chips. Those are very good. The rest of their food is meh. Hubby got the chicken pot pie which didn't even look like one. It was basically soup with a pastry dough on top. I got the special for that night, steak - asked for medium- with chimichurri sauce and sides of asparagus and potatoes au gratin. The steak came out very well done and dry. They only put chimichurri sauce on half of the sliced steak, which could have helped. The potatoes were good. The chowder I ordered didn't have much flavor and was very small. Service was ok, she seemed rushed. I like the atmosphere in the main dining room. The other rooms are brighter and I don't like them as much. However, they do have good beer and good fish & chips. Just make sure you stick with that.

Nice little English pub on the backside of Park Road Shopping Center. Inside, on the day we visited, was sort of dark and dreary, and it took a bit of doing to find the wait staff ... but then we were early on a Tuesday evening. We ended up sitting outside and dining al fresco ... which easily accommodated our stroller. Food was good and represented a variety of pub grub. Prices a bit high for portion size ... especially the fish and chips ... but they seemed to be selling like hotcakes. The best meal at our table was a mixed green salad with the salmon addition. The salad was excellent and the salmon was very nice and reasonably priced. Good place for pub grub and a glass of wine ... and they have half-priced bottles of wine on Wednesdays and Sundays. Give it a try ...p

Food was good and fresh, fresh fish fresh fries. Service was nice, quick and easy to order it was late at night when I ordered Ambiance was nice , seem to have a nice inviting crowd.

I just recently found this little spot by my house and the first time I had the fish & chips which was lovely . This go round I had the bacon burger & it was better than I expected ! Sometimes when ordering takeout they skimp on the food but I was pleasantly surprised . The burger was cooked well & the only thing I needed to add was a little salt to the fries .

Wine Wednesday is the best deal! half-price bottles of wine and the curry chicken is delicious

Really lovely dinner out on a random Wednesday! We had the fish and chips and Sheppards pie. We had quick and friendly service and I was able to order a cold Irish red beer. The fish and chips were great. Tartar sauce wasn't my favorite thing but the malt vinegar and Ketchup were good condiments. The Sheppards pie felt more like a Sheppards pie soup. If I rated as a soup, it was a gravy consistency with a good amount of flavor but the potato topping felt very hard to dig into. Overall, we had a nice dinning experience but we will try something else on the menu next time.

There were 4 other parties outside when I arrived on a Wednesday night. I was alone & didn't get waited on while multiple servers came out & waited on the other tables that already had food. Finally the hostess came out & asked if I'd been served & then a while later I did get served. I ordered a grilled portobello mushroom sandwich with fries. It took a very long time for the food to come. The mushroom was not properly cooked. The food was bland. It took a long time to get a tea refill. I asked for some sauce that they brought but it didn't help. If the mushroom had been marinated that would've made a huge difference. Took a long time to check out. I have to say I used to really enjoy going there, but I will not be going back.

Local neighborhood pub feel, situated on the back side of Park Road shopping center, partially subterranean. Outdoor patio is great in nice weather. The food is surprisingly good for a pub. The fish and chips, wings, burgers and Shepard pie are great. Get the zucchini chips. But go beyond the pub food and enjoy the pan seared lemon chicken with mashed potatoes and spinach. It's delicious. On Mondays they have Trivia night which is really fun.

Discovered this place in my childhood neighborhood. Been all over The World since I was a kid and came back to explore the area and ran into this fantastic Irish Bar. Great Food and Great Staff. Serve Food until closing which is awesome! This is a rare Gem in Charlotte and I'm so happy Michelle (my fiancé) and I discovered it! We love it!

Food and service were great. Had a good time with friends last night. Thanks to Maddie for great service.

Wife and I both like their onion soup. Sir Halley's kitchen does a good job with it, along with their other menu items. I make my own onion soup at home, the traditional way, which takes about 4 hours of time to prep the onions and laboriously cook down those onions, breaking up the "brown bits" with multiple stirs and evaporating half cups of water to yield a rich, deep brown batch of now, caramelized, onions. Upon leaving, I chatted with the chef, name I do not know, but please give him this review to read. We talked onion soup and he confirmed that his kitchen followed the laboriously cook-down of onions to yield their great version. He gave me a great tip: use burgundy red wine, rather than the traditional sherry. Sunday afternoon I put together a BIG BATCH of onion soup and used a rich, heavy red wine. The soup turned out to be GREAT, receiving many complements from neighbors and my wife. Thank you, chef. I will not be going back to sherry again. Diners, when you next visit Sir Halley's, try the onion soup and give a vote if it IS better than you have previously eaten. And onion soup is a great starter or part of two way or three way with half sandwich, soup, salad. And their ranch dressing is beautiful.

Looking for a late night place to close down, and came upon this joint.. Kitchen was still open so we ordered a burger to go with how ever many beers we downed... perfectly cooked and the fries didn't disappoint. Ambiance is neighborhood watering hole, service was friendly and attentive, and prices were as expected. They support the USS Charlotte, and have the plaque to prove it, so I'm appreciative! If I'm back in town I'm hitting up this joint!

Stumbled on this tucked away gem in the Park Road shopping center just from walking around one day. Decided to give them a try one night after attempting to go to CO. They offer adequate indoor/outdoor seating and the space is actually a little larger than I thought when initially walking inside. They have a really good selection of dishes, I was actually torn between 2-3 entrees. Service was friendly and attentive. Although, sitting inside, you may be able to hear the conversations of customers seated at the bar. I noticed that some of the table tops were games. I think if you ask for the pieces, they do have some to allow you to play with friends.

Best food in town!! Guinness on draft is amazing too!! Great environment and right in park rd shopping.

Came here out of curiosity one night and it turned out to be great find! I'm a sucker for a good pub, especially when they serve actual pints (20oz Brit Pour vs the 16oz US standard) and it was not a bad pour for the price! They have a decent selection and the reuben was pretty good. Service was a bit slow getting the food, but was made up for w/good convos w/the bartender and some regulars. This place can be a little tough to find in the shopping center it's located in, but part of the fun is the journey. It was kinda like a clue hunt w/a beer and food prize at the end!

Had a great lunch this weekend with a friend! Service was attentive and polite and the food and bloody Mary's were delicious! Perfect casual patio spot. Thanks Maury (our server) and the kitchen for exceeding expectations.

I met up with a large group here on Wednesday for lunch. It was my first time here so I was looking forward to checking it out. I've been to London and visited many English pubs. I've also been to many large cities like Chicago, NY, Philly & DC and visited English Pubs. I was disappointed with the Menu. Ostrich? Really? What is the UK connection? The menu was difficult to read and only had a few UK oriented choices. I decided on the Turkey Burger and was disappointed at the HUGE amount of bread it was served on. I didn't have a Guinness but it seems this is the place to get one. It is a nice change of pace to have a non-franchise option in the midst of this neighborhood. The service was good and the staff was friendly and nice. Maybe the patio might be worth checking out when the weather is nice. Parking is free but limited in the 'back lot' of the shopping center.

One of our favorite spots. Ambiance is really cool, feels very much like a pub. Food is good and they have a wide variety of drinks.

Just a great place to grab a pint and some food. It is in an odd location, but once you go once you'll know exactly where it is from then on. We've been a handful of times over the years, most recently though last weekend. They were severely short staffed but both people working were incredibly nice and made sure we had everything we needed sitting at the bar. This time I had the BLT with tomato soup and it was excellent. Just hit the spot for lunch. Last time I got the goat cheese potato pancakes and mussels, both were great. My husband ordered the corned beef brisket (Reuben) and really enjoyed the flavors. We'll absolutely be back when we're in the area.

We used to come here 20 years ago while we were dating and still enjoy coming here! We love Sir Ed's!!! Jerk chicken nachos cannot be beat- they're out of this world amazing! We still order them every time we come for dinner or drinks. 10/10 will always recommend

I love this bar ! Great food, big menu & service never disappoints. They serve food all the way til 2, and the bartender Sam always takes great care of us. Best Irish Pub in the city. If you like a lowkey, chill bar this is the place for you!

This used to be my son's favorite pub but I think the closed and reopened. When I say that, we're going back probably 10 to 15 years ago and this used to be one of his favorite places. He's moved to Atlanta but always wanted to give it a try and even tried to find it several in the Park Road Shopping Center. Believe me, it's well hidden. On a recent trip to the Flying Biscuit Cafe, I saw the sign that pointed the way but did not find the restaurant itself. My wife is flying back from Pittsburgh and flight has already been delayed twice. By the time I pick her up, it's almost 8 pm and it started to rain. Got on Billy Graham Pkwy which becomes Woodlawn and were there in less that 15 minutes and then time to complete the exploration. Walked behind the wall, down the corridor, down two flights or stairs and low and behold we were there. Now that I know where it's at and the landmarks, it's easier to get to from the back parking lot. Walked in and promptly seated. That said, only one server it the entire restaurant and granted not overflowing, service was a bit slow because she had to attend to other patrons. Typical British Pub atmosphere with a strong emphasis on British Ales, Largers and Stouts and Soccer and all things English or Welsh. Looking over the menu, it had a number of favorites like Fish and Chips, Shepard's Pie, my wife's favorite Banger and Mash but in the end, we went another direction. My wife went with a Wedge Salad and French Onion Soup but somehow could not communicate to the server that she wanted the French Onion Soup on the daily special. She ended up pointing the item to the server. I am a little more daring. On the menu was Ostrich Meatloaf. I've had Ostrich before at a small restaurant on East Independence Blvd Dik-a-Dee's (sp?) long since gone and my impression of Ostrich was Dry and rather tough Turkey. Wanted to see if it was the same. Still tastes somewhat like Turkey but cooked down in a Meatloaf, it's got a much tender texture and is actually very good. Even though it's good, not sure I would order again because of the premium price for something with equal taste and texture you can get with ground turkey for a lower cost. Nice atmosphere but again even though it was slow, management needs to look at the staffing requirements because while she was trying, the server could not provide adequate service to the main dining room and the side one as well

Now this is a proper pub! Tucked away behind the park road shopping center this place is easy to miss but do yourself a favor and come check it out. They have a great tap list at reasonable prices and when I went in Sunday with some friends they were offering half off bottles of wine! From their burgers to their fish and chips to their Shepard's pie they make some great classic pub food as well. The vibe feels authentic and the staff are friendly and fun to talk to. Next time you find yourself at the shopping center pop on in and see what you've been missing!

Arseways! So, I've been going to Sir Ed's for approximately 15 years. They have amazing staples like fish and chips, chicken fried chicken and Shepherd's pie. I've had most everything on the menu including the jerk chicken nachos, which are great as an entree! However this visit I was craving a Reuben. So I gambled and lost when I ordered the corned beef Reuben. Where's the beef? (photo included in review). I am glad I ordered the sweet potato fries as my side but that ended up a missed opportunity when I requested honey mustard sauce for dipping. What I got was a very runny dressing. The service can be spotty at best. It appeared on this visit they may have been short staffed, yet they weren't that busy. There were two very young girls waiting on patio guests but they seemed a little dazed and confused. I still enjoy Sir Ed's, yet this is not a Reuben. Until they serve a real Reuben that isn't 80% bread, I will just go back for the nachos or chicken fried chicken. The interior is traditional and hasn't changed in at least 15-20 years. The patio is the best! I would argue they could add a few more four tops to the patio though.

I received a welcome to the neighborhood coupon and decided to give Sir Edmonds a shot!! We laughed because the coupon had our name wrong. Walking in it's a fun pub vibe! There are tvs at the bar and in the other room. We went with the waitress recommendation the buffalo cauliflower and the jerk chicken quesadilla. We wanted to order the shareables because we weren't hungry enough for a large entree. Everything came out quickly and was delicious. The jerk chicken had a really unique blast of flavors that was delicious. We were full after these two shareables but we want to come back to enjoy the patio and try the fish and chips. The staff was very friendly and we had excellent service.

Laid back pub and a great place to meet up with friends. I've been to Sir Ed's a few times and always have a good time. On the most recent visit, came here with some friends. We had a cozy area in the back which was good since we can get a bit noisy. They have plenty of beers, ciders and wine and the food has a bit of an English twist. Think British pub. I ordered the Hong Kong egg rolls for an app and the turkey burger for dinner. The egg rolls were okay and a good portion. Tasted more like Asian stir-fried veggies in an egg roll. Came with a spicy sauce and a soy sauce. This turkey burger is my favorite. The bun is soft but toasted. The burger itself has great seasoning. It's topped with arugula, goat cheese and apple, which is always a winning combination. Service can be slow at times, but remember it's a pub and not fine dining. But I enjoy coming here.

On vacation from Los Angeles, our last night in Charlotte and we're hungry. Found this gem of a restaurant on a whim just after 10pm on a weeknight. The food was excellent, the service too. I had the fish and chips, they were simple and superb. My sister had the fried chicken breast with fresh spinach and real mashed potatoes. She thoroughly enjoyed it. The white wine was good too. Clean, crisp and fragrant. If we had found this place earlier in the week we would probably have gone every night.

I've been here a couple of times now. Most recently, we went for a team lunch and I want impressed. The restaurant was almost completely empty and I'm still took 40 minutes to get our food. I got the corned beef brisket which was just ok. The meat was kind of dry and I probably wouldn't get it again. The side of coleslaw was what you would expect from a mayonnaise based coleslaw. Overall, I was a lot less impressed on this visit than on previous visits and will probably not come back again.

Normally we have had good experiences here. Today I ordered their fish and chips and as soon as I cut into it, the aroma of ammonia was overwhelming. There was something definitely wrong with the fish. The waitress/barmaid didn't seem that concerned either. It was obvious the ammonia smell was indicative of something wrong but she just kind of blew it off I wish she was more concerned with the issue.

We came here for an early dinner (4:30pm) on Saturday. There were a few other people there eating, but no staff greeted us and there was no hostess. We wandered around and over to the bar and asked the bartender if we should seat ourselves. He said yes, so we picked a table. After a minute or two a server came out, poured us some water, and brought menus. We ordered the Halley's Potato Cakes as an appetizer, the Guinness Irish Stew, the Fish & Chips, and the Shepherd's Pie. Portions were small for the price, or more accurately, the dishes were overpriced for what you got. Everything was under-seasoned. The Guinness Irish stew was very average. (The beef stew at Workman's Friend blows this one away.) The Shepherd's Pie was bland (and basically soup) and the "crispy" potato topper was not so much crispy as just dry. The fish was cooked well and was hands down the best part of the meal, but very small for $16 and the chips (fries) were just your standard restaurant steak fries that were not crispy. (Big Ben's Fish & Chips were bigger and better overall.) There's just too many great food options in Charlotte to waste money here on overpriced an underwhelming food.

Best Fish & Chips in Charlotte with a surprisingly great hamburger - area staple for many years.

Sir Ed's is a spur of the moment, drop-in place that fills your tummy and quenches your thirst. I've dropped in many times. They do pub food very well and since it hearkens back to Ireland, expect bangers-n-mash, meatloaf, fish-n-chips, shepherd's pie along with other traditional good grub. Now . . . it is not swanky, upscale, or pretentious. Nor expensive. In the pub category they rise above many joints simply because they deliver on the food and service. My Haley's burger was well prepared and juicy, with sea salt sprinkled on the wedge potato fries. Mmmm . . . so good. And, gone, too! Wanna laid back place to hang with friends without all the hoopla? I say Give Sir Ed's a Whirl.

The best way I can think of to review this wonderful place is by telling you how long it's been part of my life. Sir Ed's was my first pub experience, back in the '90s. It was the first place I remember going for Guinness on tap, back when that was hard to find in Charlotte. I've spent dozens of birthdays, several pre-gig dinners, some dates, and countless nights out with friends here. The Stammtisch--the large table in the back--is where I spend every St. Patrick's Day. Sir Ed's is a place where you can go for the food as much as the alcohol. My favorite things to eat here are the buffalo cauliflower, Irish potato cakes, goat cheese fritters, curry tofu, vegetable club, and the spicy portabella and asparagus grilled cheese sandwich. When I want to throw dietary restrictions to the wind, I love the chicken fried chicken or fish and chips. Writing this has made me want to go back out to Sir Ed's, even though I just got home from there a couple of hours ago and it's almost closing time. Needless to say, I'm giving it five stars.

Nice little pub atmosphere tucked in the back of the Park Rd Shopping Mall. Went here for a group lunch. Tip, drive off park rd, towards the back entry, you get a better chance of parking there than in the main parking lot area. Plus you don't have to go down the stairs. For lunch I had the Shepard's Pie. Ground lamb with peas and carrots topped with a potato pancake like crust. I love shepard's pie, this one was a little meh. It lacked on flavor to be honest. The potato pancake was the highlight, if even. We were a party of 4, 3 of us got the shepard's pie and one of us got the Cuban. They use yellow mustard on it. I do prefer stone ground. Maybe I'll try their fish and chips next time. That is another "irish pub" staple any so called irish pub should master. Atmosphere: nice cozy wooden booths and tables. A pub style bar with high chairs and a private room. You are on the lower level of the Shopping mall, so only high windows available. Ceiling is not quite low, but cozy. It's traditional Irish I suppose, you can catch someone entering wearing quilts. I wonder how packed this place is during St. Paddy's. Service was great and servers were attentive. Never had to ask for a refill or the check.

Hello, old friend. What's not to love about Sir Ed's? Seriously. They're like that old elementary school buddy you might go years without seeing but as soon as you're hanging out in the same place at the same time, it's like no time at all has passed. On our most recent visit, the first in a year, at least, I didn't even pick up the menu. Intuitively, I ordered without hesitation, "Jerk chicken nachos, please!" I mean, it's a no brainer. I've been eating those nachos as a late night treat for almost 15-years. I was living abroad when they closed temporarily. I almost bought airfare home for one last order of those nachos. Thankfully, some saint decided to revive ol' Sir Ed's not long after they closed and the late night shenanigans live on! Does the place have it's faults? Certainly. But, who doesn't? On those nights I'm not feeling their beer selection, I go with a proseccco. If it's too loud and somehow kinda smokey inside (even though you haven't been able to smoke inside restaurants in NC for years) I'll just hang out on the patio. Slow service? No big deal. More time to hang out with the table of friends sure to be along for the evening. I may see you next weekend or next year, Sir Ed's. Regardless, I know we'll hit it off as if we just saw each other the day before. No menu needed thankyouverymuch.

We grabbed lunch here and it was okay. The food was actually very good. I got their bangers and mash which I did enjoy. The reason for the lower rating is because if you're calling yourself an Irish pub, at least look like an Irish pub, and don't put one item on the menu that makes it appear like an Irish pub --rant over. Aside from that, the place felt a bit grimy. It's nestled between CO and another spot down an ally which is cool. This place totally has the potential to be awesome! Make it look like an Irish pub, add Scotch egg's, sausage rolls, full English breakfast, and others to the menu, and we'd have five stars.

This f'in place is the bomb dignity! I LOVE IT. Never had a bad thing here. Food is GREAT! Buffalo cauliflower is incredible and they KNOW how to pour a GUINNESS like nobody else in Charlotte! Staff is friendly and helpful. I love to come in and belly up to the bar and chill, but this place is great for groups too! OH... and the potato cakes... I could swim in them! JS

Came here because we had a coupon in Go Play Save and had never been before. It wasn't anything amazing or warranting special trips over, but it was a decent food spot for lunch. They have an extensive outside patio that is secluded from the rest of the shopping center, and was beautiful on a warm fall day. And it's quiet from the rest of the hustle of the shopping center. Food menu was typical pub fare. We had the edamame for an appetizer and there was a generous amount of that. For lunch, my fiancé had their cheeseburger and noted that the burger was cooked to a perfect medium, but his mashed potatoes were just average. I had the blackened fish tacos, and they were good, and the blackening spice was spicy. I just wish there was another dimension of flavor besides the spice of the fish. Again, everything was good, but nothing "mindblowing". Service was sub par, had to ask a few times for my beverage and the server forgot to bring back my credit card to sign, I had to remind her. But looking positively, you certainly aren't rushed here so you can enjoy our beautiful Charlotte weather!

The bartender was great, the outside seating is great and the beer selection is pretty good with what you might expect for something styled as a British pub - Guinness, Harp and suchlike. Where Sir Edmond's seems to be letting down the side is the food options. Sure, they have a Fish and Chips, but where's the curry? Where's the jacket potato? Burgers are fine, but that's American food not proper British fare. I was here a few years ago and maybe my standards are higher now. If you want drinks with a Scottish flag on the wall, here's Sir Edmond (aside from that it's served cold for Yanks and the taps aren't hand-pulls). But if you want a good lamb stew or a shepherd's pie, I think you're better off at Big Ben.

We love Sir Ed's! It's one of my fiancé and I's favorite little causal date night spots. We always sit on the cute patio and get a glass of wine and a Magners Irish cider. The mussels are always fresh and delicious, as well as the wedge salad and fish n chips! Service is very welcoming and nice.

Awesome flight oh Port City pilsner from Alexandria, VA + Harp from Dublin, Ireland + Capt.Jack's Mecklenberg Brewery, NC Awesome lunch choices. Chose Cauliflower wrap with Brussels sprouts. Tasty! Healthy!

I met a friend for lunch because it was a beautiful day and they had outdoor seating. I got the fish and chips. The fish had a good flavor but it was mostly batter and the portion size was way too small for the price. Fries (chips) were good. Waitress did a good job of keeping our drinks full. I really wish I could find a great fish and chip place!

Was it wonderful no but the secluded outside dining area is perfect for an outside Spring day. The interior looks like it could use a makeover and updating. The staff was very friendly and heather our waitress was very good. I had the Ostrich Meatloaf a slight sweet taste to the meat but very good, The mashed potatos were not the best but with the meat and gravy were very good. The wife had the Wahoo catch of the day, it was a very well prepared but a little too much seasoning buried the flavor of the fish but not to the point you could not enjoy it. The Garlic hummus was wonderful and Pita, Carrots and Cucumber were fresh. We will go back but I can tell you as it got closer to 6pm it picked up considerably, business wise. So it appears to be popular. GIve it a shot. PS Half Price bottle of Wines on Weds.
