Murphy's Law Irish Pub - Pawtucket

My husband and I were staying at the Hampton Inn located behind the restaurant, so we decided to give it a try. It was a self-service seating arrangement, so we found a table...

If you're staying at the Hampton Inn next door, this restaurant is quite convenient. The service and food were pretty solid! The portion sizes are generous, and they offer all your Irish favorites.

The service we experienced was abysmal. While the food was tasty, it wasn’t enough to compensate for the two hours we spent waiting. We ordered two beers and had to remind three different servers about them; it took 20 minutes to finally receive our drinks, even though we were sitting right next to the bar, which had only two other customers. There were also only two other tables occupied, yet numerous staff members were walking around, completely ignoring us. We ordered some appetizers that took over an hour to arrive, and then they forgot one of the dishes, forcing us to place that order again after the long wait. We quickly understood why the restaurant was so empty on a Saturday night at 6 PM. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time here.
