Food is good but the service could use some help!

by bisp

The bartender, a guy with a shaved head, was pretty rude and incredibly slow at refilling our drinks. We actually had to ask multiple times for another beer..this shouldn't happen when you're sitting at the bar top! I really like the food but I have sat in the dining room too and just feel like an inconvenience to the waitstaff. You can definitely tell this place is privately owned and not a corporation, there is just an unprofessional atmosphere. There are alot of tvs though, so if you've got plenty of time and don't mind waiting forever and putting up with rude waitstaff..the prime rib wrap and the sliders are killer.

• Pros: Food
• Cons: Wait time to get drinks

Awesome Burgers, Great Atmosphere, Bring the Family

by iluvchile

My husband and I, and our two children, love K O'Donnell's Bar and Grill. Even though "bar" is part of the name, K O'Donnell's is great for families. If you enjoy sports, this is the place to be... HD TV's everywhere, including in the dining area, but the volume is not overly loud. The food is wonderful... you can't find a better burger in town for $8.50 (comes with a side, such as salad, fries, or onion rings - which are made perfectly and are delicious). Our son always orders a slice of pepperoni pizza... it's huge... and only $2. I've had the Teriyaki Chicken sandwich, which is also a great choice... tender chicken breast marinated in a tangy teriyaki sauce, a thick slice of grilled fresh pineapple, served on a toasted roll... served with a side, for $8.50. The service is awesome; soft drinks are refilled without asking. The owner has personally greeted us at our table on multiple visits. The servers pay special attention to kids. When my son won a Little League championship game last year, we stopped at K O'Donnell's to celebrate. The staff immediately recognized that it was a special occasion, and at the end of our meal, brought out a complimentary "make-your-own" ice cream sundae, with several small dishes of toppings such as M&M's, sprinkles, chocolate syrup, etc. My son was thrilled and, needless to say, we keep coming back, knowing that the staff will take care of us. They just expanded an inviting outdoor patio and we hear that they host live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights. I can't say enough about this place... come check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed.

• Pros: Great value
• Cons: None that I can think of

Prompt service

K. O'Donnell's is among the best bars in town for sports. With large HD screens all over, you always have the best view in the house. One of the sports? Poker. The owner is a professional poker player, having taken 21st this past year (2006) and hosts three games a week through a local league. If you like to play, this makes for a great excuse to come out and try their amazing pizza, or their grilled chicken wings.

Don't be afraid to bring your family just because it says bar. A family atmosphere is strictly maintained in the dining area (no abusive/profane language) and there is absolutely no smoking in the dining area before 10pm or before the last customer has finished their meal, whichever comes last (of course, come May, there will be no smoking anywhere anytime, but that's different). The patio area is spacious and pleasant, the restaurant being located a long a main, but not a high traffic road.

The staff is pleasant and attentive, the last two of the wait staff I encountered remembering what I ordered even if though it was three weeks since the first and last time they saw me. The assistant manager will often be seen in a corner watching over the room and continuing the excellent service.

Whether it's food, fun, drink, sport, or just a relaxing atmosphere, K.O'Donnell's is the place to go.
