“Great place to just meet friends and neighbors. Food is fantastic and staff incredible!!!“

“We ordered the sweet and spicy wings, pretzel, Cajun chicken pasta, and the buffalo chicken wrap. Everything was okay. It’s something to come to chill, eat, and catch up with a friend. Nothing really stood out as super delicious. I might come back to try their burgers. The wing sauce was good, but the chicken itself was a bit overcooked. The pasta was really saucy (which was a bonus), but it lacked flavor. The pretzel was actually good! Super soft and I like that it had 2 sauces. The wrap could have been warmed on the outside and a better proportion of ingredients on the inside. Our server was nice!“

“Great place. Delicious food and a great hostess! Thanks Nikki! Really takes all precautions to social distancing!“

“Sawmill BBQ is located very close to our house, yet we’ve never tried it. Well, we just did the other evening, and LOVED it. Everything was bursting with flavor and the meat was beyond tender. Even the Cheeseburger was above average! All of the sides were devoured in minutes (green beans, fries, creamy coleslaw, garlic bread). Safe to say, we’d totally pick up from Sawmill again - or dine in (they have a large dining room, with live music sometimes I’ve heard!) :-)“

“We have eaten here several times and the food is always fresh and delicious! Sunday buffet is amazing with a great variety of food, omelet station and plenty of sweets. Service has been excellent each time. Can't wait to go to one of the special dinner events, they look fun! Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Nice atmosphere. Friendly employees and patrons.“

“While I'll still recommend it...I did go to the Twin Oaks location tonight and they had taken the adult grilled cheese with tomato soup off the menu. 😢😢😢 I just had it there a few weeks ago. They had also taken the zucchini appetizer off the menu. Everything I went there to order is not completely off the menu. And there isn't a suitable substitute. I hope you'll consider bringing those back.“

“Our local Irish pub has become our go-to place for comfort, good food, and genuinely kind people. The owners go above and beyond, the staff treats you like old friends, and the food is always incredible. You can feel the heart in this place every time you walk through the door. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“I grew up going to Duffy's, so it has always been a favorite in my family. Last month, we had my dad's celebration of life there in the banquet room with the most delicious buffet. I highly recommend having their banquet room for any celebration. Our server, Josh, was so awesome, knowledgeable, and quick to attend to our party of 50 or so. We even went back the next day for the St. Patrick's Day celebration where I've spent many St. Patrick's Days at. Everything is fresh and delicious. the staff is so friendly and give great service! ❤️“

“PJs is a fantastic bar and grill“

“Not sure about all the food-but raves about the hamburger (bar grilled)! Friendly folks, shuffleboard, good drinks!!! Goes on our list of dive bars to visit again!!!“

“My husband and I stopped in Saturday night. We are new to the area and someone referred us to check it out. We sat at the bar and the bartender's name was Ashley! She was so nice, gave us her favorites and recommendations. I tried the Elderberry Martini which was delish! My husband had the smoked Old Fashion. I love the great variety of the menu. And they offer a Gluten free menu. I wanted to try everything. We landed on the firecracker cauliflower appetizer which was amazing. For dinner we had the Cajun pasta and the Fish and chips. We will definitely be back for the great Happy Hour they offer during the week that Ashley went over with us too.“

“I'm coming back simply because John's customer service was exceptional! Keep up the good work John! I made him pose for the photo!“

“Amazing service and really good food! Thank you so much!“

“If you’re anywhere near Eureka, do yourself a favor and stop by O’Dell’s Irish Pub & Ale House. From the moment we walked in, the experience was outstanding. We were promptly seated by who I believe was the manager or owner, and he immediately made us feel welcome while telling us about the specials. I mentioned I had heard the wings were amazing, and thankfully the rumors were absolutely true.

Our server was fantastic. She was attentive, personable, and shared a few stories with us that made the whole experience feel genuine and memorable instead of just another dinner out.

We started with the loaded fries that came with a green dipping sauce that perfectly matched the Irish pub vibe. Everything came out fast, hot, and delicious. The wings were big, meaty, flavorful, and exactly what I hoped for. But honestly? Those fries stole the show. Perfectly cooked, seasoned just right, and impossible to stop eating.

The prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions, and what really stood out was how family friendly the atmosphere felt. This wasn’t just a bar with food. It felt welcoming, comfortable, and like a place you could bring anyone for a great meal.

We’ll absolutely be back“

“Jamie,Kelly and Kelsie are hands down the best behind the bar! Their energy is infectious, their drinks are top-notch, and their service is unbeatable. Kelly crafts perfect cocktails with skill, while Kelsie keeps the crowd engaged and the vibes high. They work seamlessly together, making every night at the bar an experience.

And let’s not forget Carol, the amazing owner who makes it all possible! She’s created a fantastic spot with a great atmosphere and top-tier staff. If Kelly and Kelsie are on shift, and Carol’s running the place, you’re in for an unforgettable night!“

“Great service & great food!! We had a couple small issues (burger not done & a soda that was lacking syrup, it was almost all carbonation. It happens! 🙃). The double decker pizza is so good!! My daughter had the chili mac & it was such a huge bowl that we brought more than half of it home. It was yummy!“

“Best ruben, he has had in a long time. I ordered a dinner salad and it was big and excellent. Small building, even though it has 3 floors. We were there in late afternoon. And the atmosphere was nice. Only a few people in there. Service was good and fast.“

“The server started out great and then appeared to forget about us. We had to get someone else to get her attention. The food was good but not great. It is not a bad place to go. I saw that many other people appeared to have great service. I think our gal was having a bad night. Not sure I would make a second trip there.“
