Kelleher's Irish Pub & Eatery

Ice cold food. Multiple table complaints. Dined her tonight with my parents. While browsing the menu, a two top behind me informed the server Their food was cold and wanted it microwaved. Then us, concerned to order….. Sure enough, we also got ice cold food. Guinness pot roast, and Irish sampler, both cold. my mom had to have them microwave her food then waited an additional 15 minutes for her food cause they forgot it in the microwave. It came out luke warm. So she took hers to go hungry. We watched the servers take on bigger sections than they could and service was neglected everywhere. I would not recommend 5/6 table sections if your servers cannot give service. It took us over 10 minutes to get a greet and drinks and that is unacceptable.

Gotta say, recommended by a local business. Greated and seated very quickly. Ordered the crab appetizer, very greasy and average tasting. Our meals, in my opinion were of low quality, and also only average. Would not recommend. The waitress was friendly, and I believe questioned why we didn’t finish our meals.

We decided to stop by tonight. Never heard of it, nor had it before. We read reviews and looked at the online menu. When we walked in, we got seated pretty quickly. Inside the place was very nice, inviting, warm. Loved the beautiful woodwork. Our waitress showed up fast. Took our drink orders. I had a KilKenny Irish beer which I have never had. It was extremely smooth and tasty. ( I ordered 2). My brother in law had a bluemoon with a slice of orange. My wife just had water and my father in law had sweet tea. The menu was nice. A lot of nice menu items to choose from. Myself and my brother in law both had the Dublin Burger with Waffle fries. We both agree it was fantastic. Flavor was off the charts. Waffle fries were seasoned and cooked to perfection. My wife had the Bangers & Mash. She said it was excellent. I tried a bite of her bangers. Delicious. My father in law had the sheppards pie. He had his face in the bowl until it was gone......lol. He loved it as well. We all agreed it was fantastic and will definitely be back next time we come to Peoria.

I’m going to base my review on my food. I had the Turkey Avocado Club on a pretzel bun and wedges. So much bacon(yum!) and the wedges were cooked perfectly. I liked the lemonade and the Crab Crunchers were amazing, hot or cold (as I found out the next day). My only complaint is that the appetizer came out at the same time as the food. Not a problem, really. My wife had the Dublin Steak Burger. She was surprised to get the top slice of the green pepper. She thought they’d be diced. She echoed my thoughts on the wedges and crab crunchers. My adult son had the Maple Chicken Sandwich, waffle fries and Pepperjack Bites. Not a fan of the sandwich at all! The waffle fries were okay but he said the wedges were amazing. He liked the bites but was raving about the Crab Crunchers. I had the Butterbeer and he had the Harvest Moon. The Butterbeer tasted like pure bourbon and the moon tasted like vodka with egg foam. My son said it smelled like wet dog. I am not basing my review on something I rarely do. We will all be back!

My family and I were there last night for a birthday celebrating my late husband. Sidney was terrific and the food was fantastic. She was so kind and even went above and beyond when I ordered an Irish coffee. The next time I’m in Peoria I’ll be back.

The chicken pot pie was lukewarm and tasted like a can of Campbell's Chunky Chicken soup with a stale round flavorless piece of flatbread on top. I do not recommend it. The fish and chips were better.

We came upon this place by chance. The vinegrette salad dressing was amazing. Absolutely love the hot honey chicken sandwich. Atmosphere was cool. We'll be back.

The waitresses are very kind and understanding. The food isn't as much. The first time I was there I had a small issue with ordering a black bean burger but received a regular burger as I don't eat red meat - no big deal but it did make me a bit sick as I didn't realize before I ate a few bites - no fuss, mistakes happen! This time though, I attended the Halloween pop up bar where they served us "realistic" looking witch finger cookies that were supposed to have some sort of jam with them....but somehow they misplaced the jam for a steak glaze lol.....very unpleasant surprise. But bro how do you doooo that unless you hit the penjamin a few times too many???

Again, the waitresses are super cool, the food just sucked in both of my experiences.

Get the 50/50 burger. You won’t be sorry.

Dublin Burger was great and I really liked the screened-in patio. Would love to eat there when it’s raining!

An Irish pub that had run out of Guinness? Say it ain't so!
Our group of golfers were here a couple of years ago and it was great and now.... maybe post pandemic? Who knows, but
The food was quite average.
Our waitress did a fantastic job, table of 12, but she was the highlight.

This is considered 1lb of boneless wings. The $20 cost of this meal was terrible but the service was even worse. Hopefully in a few years when I decide to come back it will improve

Genuinely a tad overpriced but honestly it’s worth it if you want to splurge. The coddle is amazing and the bartender is really, really nice. Attentive service, great atmosphere, one of my favorite places to eat out in Peoria.
