The legend of Delaney's: Seamus Delaney lived in West Dublin Ireland. He was accused of horse thieving. Rather than going to jail, he decided to venture over to America. He came to Boston in 1849 and quickly got gold rush fever and headed west. Not having much luck panning for gold, he became a chuck wagon cook. Known for good food, he was then hired by Butch Cassidy and the hole in the wall gang in the summer of 1889. They apparently blamed him for their slow escapes as they became larger and larger from his good food. As Pinkerton came close to catching the gang, Butch headed south and Delaney east. He ended up back in Boston, married, and started this restaurant with his secret recipes. Believe it? Who knows, but that's their story and they're sticking to it!The food at Delaney’s is very tasty. They have a wide variety and large appetizer menu. For your main meal, you can get burgers, home made pizza, sandwiches (swordfish, chicken, sirloin, turkey, corned beef), plenty of pasta, surf and turf, and what they call "coast to coast" which is steak, chicken, ribs, and pork chops. There's a separate kids menu for $5.95 which includes a soda, a Hoodsie (ice cream), and either burgers, chicken, spaghetti, hot dogs, or grilled cheese.
The building looks a bit like a hole in the wall and looks somewhat small from the outside. Looks must be deceiving because there are many rooms inside. The interior is decorated with old wooden signs from the area and an old western theme.
Great Food and Good Times are what they advertise, and we would agree.
