Great Food and tasty Vegan Options

We were in town for a short vacation and I searched for a place with vegan options for my wife, that would also let us bring our dog. We tried the FAB CAKES and my wife had the GARDEN PIE. The FAB CAKES came with sweet corn succotash and were amazing! The GARDEN PIE was also very good. We were both surprised that an Irish Pub had vegan options, especially more than just a veggie burger.
We will definitely be back there the next time we are in town to try their other vegan options.
We were able to sit at their outdoor patio and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Good Vegan Options

Really enjoyed the salad and fab cake (vegan crab cake) at Josie Kelly’s. The also had veggie burger options, garden pie, cauliflower entree - making my decision difficult. Loved the pub atmosphere and live music on a Thursday!

Delicious surprise

The menu descriptions don’t do the food justice. I ordered the garden pie expecting it to be okay. It was delicious. The Brussels sprouts were perfect. When they brought them out with aioli on top they quickly corrected the mistake. Great waitstaff and outdoor seating.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan and gf options

Delicious vegan options

The garden pie, fab cakes, and brussel sprouts were all incredible. Although the vegan options are somewhat limited, the few they have are very good. And it doesn't hurt that they have a fantastic whiskey list!

Good but limited

It’s an Irish pub so it’s not surprising the vegan menu items are limited. It was surprising to see the menu so clearly labeled and the wait staff seemed to understand vegan. I had the crabless cakes and the garden pie (vegan shepherds pie) and was very pleased with them both!

Deserves 5 stars

I was blown away by the crab less cakes and vegan Shepard’s pie. I’ll definitely be back to try the Brussels and roasted cauliflower. Crab less cakes could have been less salty but it’s okay. They were served over a salad. Good portion sizes. Live music. Wonderful ambiance.

Comforting vegan fare, great atmosphere

I love when I find restaurants serving normal, comforting vegan food instead of trying their hardest to be eye-catching and eccentric. Loved the garden pie though I was expecting a slightly larger portion from the other reviews. The potatoes were some of the best I've ever had, hands down.

Also tried the faux crab cakes which were quite good. Their flavor was subtle and overshadowed by the veggie medley, but they were perfectly fried and the Old Bay remoulade was divine.

Josie Kelly's itself has a really charming Irish pub atmosphere with friendly staff. Our apps took a while to come out even though the house wasn't busy, but the entrées were timely.

Overall a nice evening and a great meal. Will definitely visit again.

Pros: Normal, filling and delicious food, Lots of vegan sides , Friendly staff, charming atmosphere

Cons: A bit pricey, but worth it in my opinion

Hearty vegan options

It was nice to get a hearty meal at a restaurant that isn’t vegan. The Garden Pie was hearty and tasty. It was served perfectly hot. The potatoes were done just right. It came with an arugula salad with a sweet dressing. They had the brunch menu. It had a chickpea burger and a salad. The waitress was vegetarian and was very knowledgeable about the vegan options. She said they have more things on the dinner menu and are open to modifying things. She said the Fab Cakes Grilled Cauliflower Steak are good. I want to try the other things, but honestly the Garden Pie was so good that I will probably get it a few more times before trying other things. It was a nice clean place with good friendly service.

Great option!

We went for dinner while on vacation and had great drinks, great service, and delicious food! The fab cakes (vegan crab cakes) and garden pie (lentil shepherds pie) were all delicious! When we told our waiter we were vegan he said “awesome we will take great care of you” and asked if we had any questions.

Pros: Very tasty vegan options, Great Service, Delicious cocktails

Cons: A little pricey
