Another excellent evening at O'Toole's. 4.5 stars. Beth said that her steak special (Wednesday nights) wasn't as good as last time, but still tasty and a good value. My catfish was excellent and plentiful. Bartender made a very good Old Fashioned and our server, Christine, looked after us very well. (The 2nd pic is from a shrimp special a couple of weeks ago...also excellent)
I went out here with a big group of family, probably 10+. Honestly food wise I'd just call this place okay. I had a chicken salad and the chicken was dry but the salad itself was pretty good flavor wise. My cousin got the lasagna and it was almost a pure glob of cheese. Our friend got the chicken parm and it was huge and pretty good. Some others. got the brunch menu option and the loved it, not a crumb left on their plates. It's kinda hit or you get something decent food wise. Can't speak for any of the alcohol. Service was pretty good though.
Mel, thank you and all the other staff this afternoon Friday April 22,2022a fun visit for me Linda, and Ronnie. You are always so nice to us when we come for visit. We were there on March 16, 2022 the day before my 69th birthday, we had a great time then as well. If I ever get too silly, I'm just enjoying myself. There aren't very many places to eat and have a good time these days. John is lucky to have you and all the other Staff. Thank You again and God Bless..Love Ya! Linda and Ronnie
It was St Patrick's day and we were there w/the band. The waitress was extremely rude & wasn't interested in serving. Therefore can't say much for the food. Owner/manager wasn't any better. Went to the other location & staff was much friendlier & courteous. Didn't stay first as there was a 2 hour wait so we left even though the band stayed.
If you have not tried O'Toole's then you are missing out. They have a large variety of menu selections so, if you are like me and have a family can never agree on what to eat go ahead and give them a try. The service is also top notch! We gave them a shot one time when we were looking for an Irish place for St. Patrick's Day dinner, that was 16 years ago and we have been regulars ever since!
I ordered a Greek pizza, which was supposed to have spinach, tomatoes, feta cheese, black olives, pepperoncini, and onions. I requested no onions. The pizza I got was DELICIOUS, but it did not have feta cheese. I honestly can't identify one of the the toppings. So although it was tasty, it was not what the menu advertised. I did not say anything to the waiter as they appeared to be short-handed & the restaurant was busy.
What more could you possibly ask for? Really good unpretentious food, friendly servers, lots of cold beer, full bar, good atmosphere...O'Toole's has it all, it really does. It's been around a heckuva long time and is understandably popular, and not just with local neighborhood people. As I understand it it is in the second generation of the family--that's a good thing, maybe it'll be here forever. It's definitely a bar, but as far as I'm concerned the food is as good as any restaurant in town. Might be a little loud for business meetings, I dunno.
I had the liver and onions with onion rings and asparagus. Liver was tender and flavorful but lacked the characteristic taste of liver??♂️. Only 5 asparagus spears. The onion rings were good.
Got the 1/2 rack of ribs. They were precooked and then glopped up with some kinda sauce. Not very good. Service was great, but will not order the ribs again. Great beer happy hour specials.
We ordered ultimate nachos and it was very disappointing. Lots of chips and little of anything else. Very little chili, cheese, sourcream, salsa but at least there was plenty of jalapeños. Ordered the fish and chips which we asked to be held till we were ready, since we were still trying to eat the nachos. They made the fish and chips early and put them under heat lamps. When we were ready they brought them out and they were"warm" and hard. Not sure if it was the server making this mistake or the kitchen but it was not a good experience. Will give it another chance since it has been there a long time. Hopefully this is not how it is being run now but a misstep on one day.
