Holy cow! Am I glad I found O'Toole's! We were visiting the Petersburg Battle Field and used Google to find somewhere to eat. Google steered us to this gem.The atmosphere feels like a local pub and it's welcoming at the same time. Service was prompt and attentive. It's the kind of place that you wish were closer to home.The menu had several traditional Irish pub offerings but also had extensive salads and a couple of surprises.Prices were reasonable and this has become a mandatory stop when I'm in the area. Do yourself a favor and go to O'Toole's!

My Wife and I went out with her Niece and her Husband to celebrate my 66th Birthday. The food we ordered was delicious. We also went there in August to celebrate my Wife's 78th Birthday. Thank you very much for the great service you give to your customers.

Just a great local place with tons of history who offers great value in their food and drinks with a tolerant and enjoyable atmosphere. Wish there were more of the places around nowadays.

Been here a couple times over the past couple months, to see bands and grab a bite. Love the friendly & festive atmosphere. Service is friendly and you get your food in a timely manner. However, the wait staff doesn't check back with you quite as often as I would prefer (once every 20 mins on average I'm guessing).The Philly Steak Sub ($12) is very good, as are the skinny fries. However the Guacamole & Chips ($10) was disappointing. The guacamole was very bland/plain-tasting and the chips were cold, unsalted and not very fresh.We'll definitely keep returning to O'Toole's, but we won't be ordering the Guac & Chips again.P.S. Like a lot of restaurants these days, O'Toole's now upcharges 3% if you pay with a credit card. So bring cash if want to avoid that charge.

We were passing through Richmond on our way home to VA Beach and wanted a delicious pub grub meal .. searched Google from a parking lot and was presented with O'Toole's .. definitely worth visiting .. our waitress Christy ( I think ) was very helpful .. steering me to the lunch portion Fish with mash .. my husband had the French Dip .. we were more than happy with our meals .. the appetizer of potato skins was more than adequate also .. will have to try to make it back as I saw other delicious options I am curious to try ..

O’Tooles is always a great place to gather and tonight was no exception! We enjoyed local beers, ate fried pickles and pizza while catching up with dear friends.

We came on the mission of onion rings. I will say the onion rings were great, but they did lack a little salt or seasoning in the breading. They were pretty plain, but they were super crunchy and just what I was looking for. The Cajun ranch that was served on the side was salty enough, and it balanced out. The Reuben sandwich was grilled so well. The fried apples could have used more cinnamon and salt but I ate them with no issue. Our server was so nice and helpful. And all around very pleasant experience. However, I will say that the hostess should had set us at a bigger booth, because we are bigger people. I found the couples booth to be uncomfortable with no elbow room. That is the only complaint I really have. Everything was great.

We celebrated a 70th birthday party with a buffet of chicken wings, barbecue with rolls and cole slaw, french fries, a veggie platter and several sauces and dips. No one's glass was ever empty! Our waitress was terrific. We used the back banquet room and had plenty of room for a group of about 25. Everything was great and was worth every penny we spent.
