The food was delicious. The beer was cold. Lunch with Santa was a fun experience. Santa was very friendly with our 5 year-old.

We used to always go to Doherty’s for the turkey Rubens, we have been going since 2016- the reubans used to be excellent. For our reservation, we ordered two turkey reubans, and they were very dry and lacked sauerkraut and butter. The french fries were also overcooked and soggy. The quality of food at Doherty’s has gone downhill in the last few months. Will likely not return to this restaurant

Hi Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience at Doherty’s. We appreciate your loyalty since 2016 and deeply regret that the turkey Reubens and fries didn’t meet your expectations this time. Your comments about the quality are concerning, and I will share this with our kitchen team to ensure improvements are made. We hope you’ll give us another chance to provide the great food and service you’ve come to expect from us. Please email me directly on our website for an incentive to hopefully earn your trust and business back. Slainte, Kristen Fausey General Manager Doherty’s Irish Pub & Restaurant Cary,NC

Came for dinner on a Wednesday night not realizing there was music. My fault for not checking. The food and service were very good. But the noise level due to the music made it difficult for four septuagenarians to hear each other. Again, my fault for not checking. I’ll definitely be back, but not on a Wednesday.
