Thanks for the additions!
Wow, dont go to mcgoverns on west 7th. The cornbeef was all dried out and the meal had a fishy taste to it. They said the meal was only 8 dollars over the phone. It ended up being 15. Worst cornbeef and cabbage Ive ever had. Very disappointed. I look forward to going out every year. Never again to there.
