Dont order foos!. I went to Doyle's because they have a deal that if you go after you tour the Sam Adams Brewery you can get a free glass when you order a beer. The beer and the glass were great, but the service and food were terrible. First the waitress was not friendly and kept coming back over to the table because she couldnt remember what we ordered.

Then they messed up my friends order and it took a good 15 minutes for them to fix it, when all they needed to do was bring her something they forgot on the dish!

I ordered nachos, which came with cheese whiz on it. Who puts cheese whiz on $8 nachos??

They also messed up on our checks and when i checked my bank statement after coming home I saw they over charged me.

I'd only go here for beer, and to be safe, pay with cash!!

Excellent Brunch & Pizza. The brunch and pizza are excellent and the beer selection is good. I would definitely recommend the eggs bellange, which is eggs benedict with hash instead of ham or Canadian bacon. I used to go to Doyle's all the time but have stopped going as often because the service is consistently terrible. The servers are slow, even when the place is not crowded. It can be tough to get a refill on water or order another beer.

Great Head and Bread. The Guinness was the best I have ever had in the States. If my eyes were closed I would swear I was in Ireland. The most perfect pour and the best tasting. Glad to see you all know how to clean your lines.

The French Dip was very good and excellent for the price. The meat was moist and full of flavor. The bread was fresh also.

The bartender and staff went out of their way to make one feel at home.

I will be back. GUINES

Highly Recommend a Visit. I am from New Hampshire visiting the Boston Area and was urged by my colleagues to visit the esteemed Irish Pub in J.P. With the tin ceilings, oak bar, and political memorabilia hanging on the walls it easy to see that Doyle?s is ingrained in its Irish heritage yet very much attuned to today?s popular culture. When I visited, a local Frisbee team was having dinner after a game and people were gathered around the bar watching the Red Sox game. The lively atmosphere, service, food, and tap selection exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend a visit to Jamaica Plains Doyle?s Cafe.

BAD service. I was there on St. Patricks day. I am from So. California and visiting friends in Boston. As soon as I walked in everyone was staring like I was from another galaxy. The staff was not welcoming. I got horrible service from the bartender to the waitress. ( She couldn't bare to look at my dark skin) I felt very out of place and knew that I was not welcome. The food was bad( Boiled dinner?) and it my bloody mary was horrible. I wish these people would welcome all cultures as I was to be celebrating a great irish tradition.
