   The food was mediocre my burger came out without any sauce that was supposed to be on it it took a long time for the kids pizza to come out and I ordered a appetizer salad which came with the dinner and had no dressing very disappointing. Oh and we all loaded burgers we had to ask twice just to get some ketchup

   We went for Thanksgiving dinner. Disappointed that it was 'deli' turkey, and not carved off the bird. Also disappointed with the little dollop of whipped cream on the pumpkin pie. The sides were delicious, especially the mashed potatoes. I also enjoyed the seasonal drink - Midnight Harvest. Our server Matt was the best.

   The food was good, not great. The new eggroll appetizer was very greasy. I ordered my burger without a bun and it was sitting in a pile of grease on the plate. Everyone else's food was fine. The cocktails were really good and even though the kitchen was backed up our server was on top of everything - kudos to him!

   I went with some guests for a late lunch and I ordered prime rib. When it came out, I flipped it the opposite way because it looked like it was an end cut, and when I flipped it to the other side, it was horrible. Looking wasn’t even cooked was not a prime rib. I wouldn’t even feed it to my dog. so I ate the baked potato and the broccoli I did ask for a manager and the manager kept apologizing he said would make me another one. I said no thank you, and he took it off the bill . I truly appreciated that because like I said, I would not even feed that to my dog . This is the second time I’ve gone in there with asking for a prime rib and they were both horrible. I’m not paying $30 for something. I wouldn’t even feed to my dog . But once again, the manager did take care of it, and I truly appreciate it . Don’t order the prime rib !

   The booth smelled musty. It took forever for our nacho app ti come out. The fajitas barely had enough to make two and the prime rib dip was not supposed to have mayo and it was covered with it. Very disappointed

   It was our first time going. Nothing was bad but nothing awesome. We aren't drinkers so maybe it's you are coming with a group to have some drinks and get some casual food it would be your thing.

   I have not been at this Houlihan’s in over a year, food quality changed, bathrooms dirty, for years handicapped toilet door broken doesn’t lock and today the strike plate was totally destroyed. How can an elderly or handicapped person go on there without their privacy not being disturbed or embarrassed. I won’t be going back the rest of year and who knows even about next year. I have been going there for years three and four times a week as I said I haven’t been there in over a year and I don’t think I’ll be going back.

   Dinner entrees came out ok but everything was lukewarm. Service was fine. Manager came by to see if everything was to our liking but he was so nice that it’s hard to be critical.

This houlihans in Holmdel is a 1/2 hr drive well don’t think we’ll be coming back the ride was long and the service wasn’t great !! Our favorite place was New Brunswick and the servers and managers were excellent such a shame it closed!
