J. Gilligan's Bar & Grill's famous Irish Nachos are in the spotlight once again.

The Food Network is featuring the pub's cheesy potato dish in the "Best Bar Foods" segment of its Top 5 Restaurants show. The episode is set to air at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, 2016, on the Food Network.

"You can't buy advertising like this and if you could, you couldn't afford it," said Randy Ford, the owner of J. Gilligan's. "It's the greatest thing in the world."

This isn't the first time J. Gilligan's has been in the TV spotlight. The Travel Channel has visited Arlington to feature the bar & grill's famous Irish Nachos as a bar food favorite, along with ESPN Road Trip on ESPNU during the first-ever College Football Playoff National Championship.

J. Gilligan's Bar & Grill is located at 400 E. Abram St. in Downtown Arlington.
