Paddy’s Pub and Boxty House

I would accurately say this was a solid 3.5, but def not quite a 4-star for good reason. I loved the old Paddy Ryan's in Hudson, but was happy when they moved closer to us in RF. They took over the old Mainstreeter, and the decor and ambiance has not changed. No updates except for beer glasses that fill from the bottom. Cool, sure but i personally would have spent those funds elsewhere. We arrived with a party of 7, with two kids and a baby. The owner was our waiter and he was amazing. He was understanding of the struggle with two highchair age babies and was accommodating in many ways. Two things that could use improvement- clean the high chairs and make sure they all have safety belts (my baby almost fell through), and have a changing table in the bathroom. Dinner was very good food. The potions were small, even for the kids meals. My two year old scarfed down the fish and could have eaten more but she only got one piece. The fries on all the plates were only a few. Burgers are great as always, I had the beef sandwich which was great. The lamb boxty was very good but you have to like lamb. The fish was great. I've never had a bad meal here.

$-$$Paddy's Pub is located right on Main Street in downtown River Falls, Wisconsin. During the day... I had no problems finding parking right on the street.Because it was just after Noon on a Thursday, Paddy's was not very busy. I walked him and sat right down at the bar and was greeted by a wonderful woman, Nikki, who treated me like family! We talked about the fact that I was an alumni from River Falls University, and she let me reminisce about the places that I visited during my school years back in the day. I was also introduced to Kirk, the pub's owner, who also treated me like family! Nikki and I shared great conversation and swapped family stories while Kirk readied the pub for the dinner rush. I enjoyed a pulled pork sandwich with stout dressing and fries for lunch... paired with the Paddy's Pilsner. If I lived in this area, I would visit Paddy's on a weekly basis! I found the atmosphere wonderful, the people very friendly, and the food delicious!

Great spot! Delicious food, comfortable ambiance. Really interesting menu of authentic Irish food

Sad to update that Main Streeters is no more. This is now Paddy Ryan's Irish Pub. We have been here a few times since the change. The menu has been changed. The food is good. The decor inside has been updated. I actually like the new look even better. The biggest change however has been the staff. On our most recent trip in for the second time we have found the bartender to be just rude. Her attitude twice has been horrible for no reason. We are always easy going and had a really good relationship with all the previous staff. An example recently was we had just showed up with some friends on their first time here. We bellied up and my friend tried to order a Corona. The bartender said "we don't serve that we are an Irish Pub". She said it with such a condescending and uppity tone. What I found funny is they serve a lot of American beers. It's understandable that they don't carry that beer. It was the attitude and frank uncalled for rudeness that was unacceptable. We stayed for a couple drinks anyway, but she was again rude again later for no reason. For me that is enough to avoid. I wish the owners truly the best of luck. If she is indicative of the general attitude they will have an uphill battle to find regulars in this town.

My wife and I gave Mainstreeter's two shots and were disappoint both times. We enjoyed our food on the first visit but our waitress was too busy chatting with her friends at the table next to ours to refill our drinks and give us our check.The second visit went the same as the first with the service but this time the food was bad. I ordered three tacos and the meat refrigerator level cold. I would have requested new ones but our waitress was nowhere to be found. I ended up just grabbing food at Kwik Trip on my way home.

Don't work for this guy!! He claimed he "COULDN'T AFFORD" the business anymore and closed the doors. Then a few days later he reopened them and didn't tell my mom who was one of his main cooks. He still owes my mom $2,000 in unpaid wages and has yet to try to pay her or anything!!! People like this don't deserve to run businesses because they may seem like a really good person but in reality they aren't!!!!

i just had dinner with my daughter here. I was born and brought up in Ireland and was excited to taste the Irish stew Boxty - was not disappointed, it was excellent - such comfort food! The sticky toffee pudding that is one of my favourite deserts was right up there too! Kirk, the owner is so nice and obviously pays a lot of attention to what is going on. HIGHLY recommend going there!

We had a party of 12 unannounced looking for good food and drinks. We definitely found it at Paddy's Pub. We were greeted warmly and they set up some tables for our clan. The staff was wonderful, so fun to talk to and joke around with. The pub itself is great, very clean and cozy. A place to take a date or a clan like mine. Their beer selection was great. All different beers from all over Wisconsin. I had a Maple Bock that, well I had two. We all ordered different things and shared around the table. There wasn't any of them that I wouldn't have ordered. Great atmosphere, great food and great beverages.

A great addition to downtown River Falls. The Irish boxtys are fantastic! The service was great by the owner. A place to meet friends and make new ones.

Good news if you are a fan of Mainstreeters, the recent change to Paddy's was mostly in name only. Similar menu, same decor, same country music, even the same grease used to fry the food. Service was the one highlight. For those unaware of Mainstreeters and expecting an Irish themed restaurant you will be sorely disappointed.
