Raglan Road Irish Pub, Orlando FL

AMAZING! Always love the food atmosphere, and entertainment. The libations are smooth and all entrees are fresh and tasty! A must see at Disney Springs.

Great live music/entertainment and food! Save yourself time and make a reservation at least a day or two in advance. We had to wait until almost 10 pm to eat because we made our reservation too late in the evening (around 5 pm and the wait time was about 4 hours).

Best meal we had during our whole stay! Music was fabulous, staff was great and food was excellent! Third time here and never fails to meet our expectations!

So I'm sitting at the Hole in the Wall bar outside and because of the Pandemic, supposedly, the door to inside is locked and now an Exit only.
So in order to use the bathroom you need to exit the patio walk up the side of the building, across the front and in through the front door.

I had such a wonderful experience. The staff was so kind and able to attend us so quickly.it was my first visit with the hubby and we absolutely loved it.we had the mushroom soup and it was to DIE for I found it to me very creamy and cheesy. Everything we ate was delicious

If I could give 0 stars, I would. We had reservations for a nice indoor dinner, and they told us they were running 20 minutes behind for our 730 reservation. No problem, left them our number and waited. They took the phone number down wrong, and then had the nerve to say it was my fault they couldn't reach me 30 minutes later and sat us at a sticky, plastic loud table outside. Worst managerial service I've ever seen -learn to apologize and rectify your mistakes properly, and learn how to manage a front of house! Would not recommend coming here -even if you make your reservations 6 weeks in advance, they will mess it up.

We came to Disney Springs with absolutely no plan for dining this evening, just winging it and it apparently worked. We had no reservations anywhere, but the crowds were light, so we decided to walk and see what was available. As we passed option after option, we finally decided to give Raglan Road a shot. We've passed by several times during peak season when the spot is crowded and difficult to get in.

This time, we walked our party of 7 right in and actually got a table near the stage just in time for the show to start. Reviewing this restaurant is not just about the food, it's also about the environment. This is an Irish pub type of setting, so in addition to the multiple alcoholic beverage choices, there's traditional food like Fish and Chips and the live entertainment, which this evening consisted of a trio of Irish Dancers and two musicians who alternated taking the stage. All of them engaged the entire audience, which is a lot of fun, but does make it difficult to enjoy your beer without spilling it! At one point, a dancer challenged the audience to clap as fast as they could while he kept up with his feet. Pretty impressive, but also explains why he's so skinny.

So, yeah, there's actually food here, too. Many of us decided to try the fish and chips and one tried the Gnocchi. Having sampled both, I might actually prefer the Gnocchi. The fish and chips were good, but not as great as I'd expected. The Gnocchi, however, was excellent. Before the meal even came out, they served bread with a Guinness reduction sauce. That could be a meal by itself, combined with some liquid bread. Of course, if beer is your thing, they offer multiple choices, including some flights. They also do this for whiskeys if you prefer those.

Long story short, if you can manage a visit here on a night when they're offering live entertainment, give it a chance. Unless you don't like foot-stomping fun music and good food.

Update - 05/21/21
I am amazed when I read negative reviews about Raglan Road. I wonder if it's the same place I'm going to? I'm not one to knock another person's opinion, but I have never had a negative experience here. And I've been here 4-5 times in the past year.

I've been for lunch, dinner, drinks and almost everything in-between. The staff is always - always - over the top friendly, making suggestions about food and drinks, engaging in quick banter or jokes and checking in regularly.

The food has always been good and the beverage choices pretty deep. If that's not enough for you, there's usually live entertainment, whether dancers or musicians - or both. The whole place just reeks of Irish food and fun.

Whether it's Bangers and Mash, Gnocchi Sea - Gnocchi Do, Braised Be Beef or even just a cheeseburger, the food always satisfies. Then there's the multitude of beers and whiskeys to have as individuals or a flight if you're up for a taste testing. What else could you want?

Get on a reservation list - especially during weekends or crowded seasons. This place fills up and walking in will be next to impossible.

Ragland Road has become a must-do for us when in Orlando.

Music and Irish dance provide the entertainment, but the real star is the cuisine.

The shrimp appetizer has some kick! A welcome surprise when most "spicy" preperations are rather bland.

My favorite is the shepherd's pie. The Guinness sauce used is flavorful, but it is not overwhelmingly stout. Definitely worth a try!
