A Kiss for Cregeen's!

I recently had the opportunity to visit Cregeen's Irish Pub, located in NLR at 301 Main Street. The wait staff were attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was fun, as long as you don't mind the pub scene. We ordered the Cheese Dip to start off with ($5.75) and it was okay, though I've had better. I also ordered a Caesar Salad ($3.95) and while the dressing was pretty great, the romaine was somewhat lacking.
When our Irish Dip ($7.75)  and Gardai Steak Wrap (a favorite I'm told of the NLRPD and a real bargain at $8.25) were brought with potatoes (chips) and onion rings to boot, look out! It was feasting time, oh my.
The Irish Dip is sliced corned beef with Havarti cheese on a hoagie bun and (normally) served with a dijonaise horseradish dipping sauce. They were happy to bring my son au jus, however. It was really good, although the Gardai Steak Wrap was so fabulous that it nearly brought tears to our eyes! Grilled philly steak, two kinds of melty cheese, a "tangy Chef's Sauce," all together in an herb wrap. We understand what keeps the city's Police Force on top of their game, for sure! The chips and onion rings ($1.00 extra) were yummy too, but nothing compared to that wrap...mmmm.

  2. The family wanted to know if I could replicate that wrap at home. Uh, no.
