We just moved to the area and stumbled upon this gem. Staff is super friendly and the beer was cold! We are definitely making it our spot. It’s a go to for watching sports!

Came for a moms night out- our server was PRO and a saint handling everyone separate tabs with drink and food orders. Great deals on Wednesday night for bottles of wine!! This place also had a million rooms, seems great for large groups as well as a neighborhood hang out.

Very crowded and food was just ok. But good place if you’re looking for standard burgers and beer with a group. Also check out the bathroom. Just trust me.

Nice parking lot and cute ambiance. But the customer service from our server was not good at all. She was not friendly from the start, a little abrasive and made us wait a long time to get a menu, to get water, to take our order. Food came out quickly but we had no silverware or napkins, our server had disappeared, so we had to ask a different server who was super friendly, who I wish had been our server from the beginning… so I’m sure our experience would’ve been better had we gotten her as our server. I ordered a breakfast burrito and the meat options were ham, bacon or sausage. I asked if they had turkey sausage she said no I asked if they could substitute Chicken. She said “he’s not going to want to” (meaning the chef). I said “if you can ask him that would be great and if he’ll give the chicken then I’ll take the chicken if not, then I won’t take any meat”. Then all of a sudden she found it on her handheld ordering system and said “oh yeah I can add Chicken but it’s $8, do you still want it?” And I being familiar with restaurants and these type of systems said well it’s probably $8 if I’m just adding chicken but I’m substituting it instead of bacon which on the menu is $8 so if you can just substitute it that would be great. Then she said “I’ll go ask him - I’m not gonna put the rest of your order in until I come back” like she was reprimanding us or threatening us or making sure to tell the whole table they had to wait while she asked for my special order. Then she comes back and says he said he’ll add the chicken but it’s $8. And I said “who said that?” and she said the chef and I was very surprised that a chef would get involved in the cost of how much the chicken is or whatever which if he did then that’s weird because the bacon is $8 and they wouldn’t have been giving me bacon so they’d have saved the cost of the bacon…. They could’ve simply put a very small amount of chicken just to make me happy for customer service, but she said no. Food came out quickly, which was good, but then she disappeared. We couldn’t find her to get the check and they added a Restaurant surcharge fee to the check and when she was taking someone else’s order at our table, she asked if he wanted fries or tater tots he chose tater tots and on the bill it was $3 extra for tater tots which she should’ve mentioned when he ordered it. I looked later and it was in small print on the scannable QR code menu, but nobody looks at the top of the section on the menu. It’s very hard to read these things on your phone at all so when she offered the tots she should’ve said $3 extra. I think all the extra charges are kind of petty because the sandwich itself already was $18 and then he had to pay $3 extra for tots? I find it hard to believe that when they buy these frozen tots it’s really that much more per portion. They were somewhat busy inside about 75% full on a Sunday. People were probably there to watch sports on TV so they didn’t really care about the customer service in general. They probably figure they’re busy enough anyway and they make most of their money on alcohol not food so she acted like she didn’t care.

The brunch menu is on the smaller side but the food was excellent. The bloody Mary garnish is a small meal

Just swung by O’Donovan’s for lunch around 12:30 PM. Ordered a juicy 3 B’s Burger with fries, a Cobb salad, plus a couple of draft beers to wash it down. Beer garden was chill, TVs tuned to the Cubs game, staff legit friendly and quick. Feels like a longtime North Center hang—food solid, vibe easygoing. Five stars, no doubt.
