My husband and I have been here a few times and absolutely love the food and the atmosphere.
Looking forward to our next visit.

I rarely write negative reviews, as I always try to support local businesses. Normally, my experiences at O’Donoghue’s are great—the food is usually delicious, and the service is solid. Unfortunately, my visit on August 27th with 8 coworkers was the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had.
We sat down at 12:18 pm. It took 20 minutes just to get water, and our orders weren’t taken until 12:55 pm. By 1:35 pm, the server told us our food would be another 20–30 minutes, even though we had already been waiting nearly an hour. At 2:00 pm, I had to go inside multiple times to ask about our meals. Our food didn’t arrive until 2:18 pm—two full hours after sitting down.
When it finally came, my Pubhouse Club was cold, dry, and somehow also soggy. The bun had no mayo or sauce, and the sandwich was extremely disappointing. At that point, we had no choice but to grab takeout boxes and rush back to work. Some of my coworkers food was STILL not ready and had to leave without food and hungry...
What made it worse was that our table was essentially forgotten. The server never checked on us during the long wait, and after all that, we were only offered a 15% discount. For two hours of waiting and such poor quality food, that felt completely inadequate.
I understand that busy days happen, but a two-hour wait for lunch service is unacceptable. This experience left me very disappointed, and I hope management takes it seriously, because it was nothing like the O’Donoghue’s I’ve come to know. This restaurant is capable of better, and I hope this was just an exception rather than the new standard.

Amazing food abd service. The fish and chips was probably one of the best I've had. And their Scallops tacos were amazing as well!
Joanne White
What a great experience! Their soup of the day (carrot cumin) was delicious! As was the beet salad and chicken pesto sandwich. The service was also top notch!

Fantastic little pub. Seafood chowder was well above average. However the scallop tacos should be called pineapple salsa tacos with a couple dry deep fried scallops. They were disappointing, as was the service.
We came to the pub for Irish Festival weekend. Great food and exceptional service from Troy and Melvin!! We also came in for brunch on the Sunday and Trina was also exceptional. Highly recommend the “Tot of the morning to ya” breakfast sandwich and leave room for the cinnamon buns! If you haven’t been to O’Donahue’s, you are missing out!

We arrived with no reservation, but they nicely found us a table for four. Even if the service wasn’t great, staff were very friendly and we didn’t care much. The food ohhh wow, super super good and excellent beers too. Good job guys!
