When we first entered the restaurant, the hostess clearly was unhappy so we were wondering if we made a bad choice for dinner. However, that was the only issue, and we had a great time! The rest of the staff were great. Our chicken broccoli boxty was amazing, and the bread pudding was delicious. They have good options for local beers and a huge whiskey selection. The atmosphere was fun.

Good variety of dishes and generous portions. Interesting interior decor plus patio seating. We were greeted and served promptly. Would be a great place to watch the big game. Only complaint: they put cinnamon and sugar on the sweet potatoes waffle fries.

O’Rourke’s is top of the list when going out with a crowd on a Friday night. Staff is attentive and courteous, place is lively and menu has choices for all. Top on our list were the pretzel bites, boneless wings with Guinness bbq sauce, and cod sandwich. Don’t forget the funnel cake fries! Parking deck right across the way too.

Our server Joe was super friendly and good. The Scotch Eggs appetizer at $9.99 was 2 eggs cut in half, served with spicy mustard. They do them quite well. We split the Pub Burger at $13.99, then we added Cheddar for $1. It was cooked as requested, juicy and delicious. It came with home made chips, potato chips, not the fish and chips type. They were also quite good. The place was comfortable and had a a good atmosphere. They had all the TVs turned to NCAA tournament basketball games. We had a nice lunch.
