"We almost always dine at Houlihan's when visiting UofI. The food is consistently good and the service is excellent. We dined late after the graduation and you could tell the staff was getting tired but they were still attentive. I would recommend."

"I've been to Houlihan's a few times now and have always enjoyed the food there. This time I shared the 'shrooms and chicken/avocado eggroll appetizers with a friend, and they were excellent. I had the steak, baked potato, and steamed broccoli, which were all very yummy also. There's a wide variety of choices in food and drink. The server did come and go very quickly, often before we could all order what we wanted, so that was a little annoying. Also, although the live music was good, it made it a bit harder for our book club conversation."

"Enjoyed some healthy vegetarian options while in town for the Illinois Marathon. Nice place tucked into a hotel / conference center - probably sees a lot of partying during events."

"It was mom's weekend so it was crowded but our service was terrible. The server was rude and sweating profusely because the sun streams through the west facing windows. We had to put menus on top of our booth to block the sun."

"They had a big crowd that day. Probably more than they could handle. We had to wait an hour for our food. Other tables that arrived after us seemed to get served before us."
