I have been into Gilhooley's twice now, once this last summer, and the other day after I left another place that was horrible. This past summer the oysters were very small, but now that they are coming back in season it seems that they are much larger. We split a burger, a dozen raw oysters, and a dozen (not sure if this is right) ShrimpGilhooley (oysters cooked in the shell with garlic butter, parmesan cheese, and shrimp). The food was great, not just good, even the burger is worth the drive to get back to. The place is dirty looking, make no mistake, and avoid the bathroom.The waitresses are hilarious, the locals talk trash to them and they respond in kind (maybe that is why no kids?).
This is a how-you-take-it place, relax, be cool, and the no kids, and staff is always right policies will not matter.
EAT HERE!!!
