  Awesome place! Love the food and staff here. A good mix of traditional irish food and classic american pub food. A great selection of irish beers and whiskeys.

  Disappointed and Embarrassed. Due to circumstances we decided this year to go out to a restaurant for Thanksgiving. We initially planned to go to Brewers Alley in Frederick as we had been there before for their Thanksgiving buffet. It had great food and great service. By chance we found out that Brian Borus was having a buffet. We had not been there in a while, but we had always enjoyed both the food and the service. We called and made reservations and were really looking forward to a great dinner. We also invited a friend of ours to join us and I raved how good the food was at Brians. The hostess seated us and our server introduced himself and took our drink orders. I thought I would have a glass of wine. I had forgotten my reading glasses and told him I would like a glass of the house shiraz. He was a little iffy about what wine they had and I said to just go ahead and choose as I could not read the wine list. I am not sure what it was, but it was not too bad. We went to the buffet. We had made reservations for 5:00 PM. I had not realized at the time that they were closing at 5:00, found this out later. The young man who had taken my reservation should have said something. I would have gladly come earlier. The reason I mention this is because there was not a whole lot to choose from on the buffet. I had started with some salad and fruit, but our guest had also taken a sampling of the fish, turkey, cauliflower, etc. My fiance had some turkey, potatoes, etc. It started really going bad when our guest said the fish tasted like ammonia. When fish tastes like ammonia, it means it was not good before it was cooked. The rest of the meal went downhill from there. It was bland, not very good and the turkey was basically a turkey roll. The one good thing was the bread pudding. We also noticed the rest of the diners were not going to the buffet very much either. I was embarrassed because we had invited our friend to join us and it was a terrible experience. She was very sweet about it, but I was mortified. It is sad when a restaurant you used to like and enjoy cannot provide the quality it used to. Needless to say, we will never go back to Brian Borus again. I hope one day we can laugh about that year where we had the horrible Thanksgiving dinner, but I am not in a laughing mood right now. Right now we are hungry and very disappointed. We should have just gone to Wawa for the turkey bowl, which is a helluva lot better than what we got at Brians.

  Been hear several times. This will be the last. Service was slow again. Food took too long to come to the table and when it did it was sent back because three out of four dishes were Cold. Will not return, not even for the vegetarian boxy14 Apr, 2013Been hear several times. This will be the last. Service was slow again.

Unattentative, abrupt, and forgetful.30 Jun, 2012Who says a vegitarian would find nothing to eat at an irish pub restaurant ? The Irish vegitarian boxy dish was delicious. The strawberry shortcake with home made whip cream was to die for. A must for vegitarians and meat eaters, even if your not a drinker.
