Houlihan's - Upper Arlington, Ohio

Houlihan's provides a great experience for somebody looking for a place that goes all out for 'American' cuisine. I started with the avocado and chicken egg rolls, which were not the best I've had, they were still well-prepared and tasteful. However, my entree, the Crab Melt sandwich, was a real nice surprise. It was something a little different from my usual choices and I wasn't mad at it at all. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, not too crowded, which made for a nice, laid-back dining experience for me and my people. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive vibes. I'd definitely recommend giving Houlihan's a try!

We had a group of 20 attend a retirement party here, and everything was great. I received a confirmation message for my reservation and had all my questions answered when making it. Isabella was one of our waitresses, and she did an amazing job taking care of such a large party. The entire staff that waited on us were exceptional. I had the fish and chips, which was excellent!! Everyone with me also seemed to enjoy their food. Overall, it was a great night, with great service.

I used to frequent Houlihan's years ago, haven't been much in recent years but that might be a mistake. I've been twice in recent months and the food has been good, service was great and it was nice to eat on the patio. We tried the fixed price menu and given current dining prices it was a fair price. For $25 we got a wide choice of apps and entrees plus dessert (don't sleep on the creme brulee). I think Houlihan's is back on my dinner rotation.

Houlihan’s Restaurant + Bar exceeded my expectations in many ways. The cleanliness of the establishment is immediately noticeable, from the dining area to the bathrooms, which were private and impeccably maintained. The excellent hygiene standards definitely added to the overall positive experience.

The service was outstanding – the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was good, with a variety of options that catered to different tastes, making it a great spot for any occasion.

I actually discovered this place through a DoorDash order, and it intrigued me enough to visit in person. I’m glad I did because the experience was even better when dining in. I invited a friend along, and we had a wonderful time enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and excellent service. Houlihan’s is definitely a place I’d recommend for anyone looking for a clean, well-run restaurant with great food and even better service.

Went on Valentines day with my sister. We went early like first 6 people in there. The restaurant was clean and the waitress we had was outstanding! I left her a $20 tip based on her service but everything else was trash! I've had better food at soup kitchens I've volunteered at.

I ordered a vanilla Crème brûlée (yes to start with and a blueberry lemonade.) About 10minutes later get my lemonade that didn't taste like blueberry but it was still delicious my waitress made it. She asked if it tasted like blueberry i said not but it was still super tastey and immediately my waitress said hold on let me try again and dashed off. She came back in shortly after and eagerly had me another to try and it tasted like blueberry and still delicious. Then 2mins later she came back to tell me they didn't have my dessert only the chocolate for the day. No biggy.

I ordered a impossible burger with special sauce and mashed potatoes. It took 45mins for it to get there. Now it was still early and only 4 other tables. It gets to the table I'm like where's the special sauce? The kitchen said they are out but could give me some sauce most people use to dunk their chicken un. Im like um okay. Immediately before she leaves the mash looks like someone thew them on the plate. I said something and my waitress came right over (someone else brought the food out) told me give her a quick sec she'll get me something well put together. Not even a minute later here comes some pretty potatoes not thrown on a plate. Well don't you know they were disgusting. A real rancid taste.
The impossible burger tasted straight out the freezer and unseasoned. I've had better from Burger king. The manager came over (white guy, baldish head, blue shirt, black pants) asked how everything was I told him the mashed potatoes tasted sour. Like a rancid dairy was in it. He was like ohhhhh ill be right back and check on that. He didn't come back to our table.
Then I ordered a cheesecake, it was actually delicious. However the manager and kitchen were just below standard. The waitress was nice and attentive I couldn't leave a tip based on food & lackluster management so I left her a note on it (we paid separately). I hope she finds a job at a place where her talents can shine bec she was so personable, kind, funny, and caring. I wish we would have just eaten at chipotle.

Just stopped in the other day and had a great experience! The server was nice and prompt, and the suggested new chicken noodle dish and cheese was great. Would come back!

Service was great
The chicken tenders that my daughter ordered were probably the best I've ever had.
My steak unfortunately came out too pink and tasted like a salt block.
