    I went here with some family, and a puppy loved the fact I could bring my dog. They even bring you a plate with a few peices of bacon for your pup and a water bowl. They have a specific spot for dog owners. The food and drink selection was great, and the serving size was spot on. No leftovers. I ordered a Philly cheese steak and was impressed. My side was coleslaw. They did such a good job on this coleslaw. I go places and order it and always leave disappointed but not here it was amazing. My service was what I had issues with. I was constantly not being taken care of. I had to have other people track my server down multiple times. He was nice and everything but was apparently over whelmed from his duties else where I was just a second or not even a thought.

    1st time here. Great suggestion from our son. Great seating and service was amazing. We had a party of 9. Food was delicious. Margarita flights was the bomb. Great Vegan and vegetarian options. Will definitely come again and highly recommend 👌🏼

    I'm really glad I came to check this place out. I went to hang out and read my book here at the bar. The food was good, really well done fries with the right crunch and salt levels too. The bartender I had was a really considerate, respectful and kind dude. Not sure what his name was but I'm glad I got the guy. I also really was tempted to buy some of the local art paintings there, it added to the atmosphere for sure. There is also outdoor seating!

    Most wonderful wait staff. The food was excellent with lots of variety. As we're exiting the manager stopped to talk to us and we must have stayed there 10 minutes just laughing together. I would definitely go back.

    Today I ordered, to go, a Blackend Blue Burger with fries. I arrived home and could not eat the food, it was way over salted and just was not eatable. $16.81 for this meal I could not eat. Please in the future let the customer salt their own food to their taste. In the past I have enjoyed this meal. It will be a long time before I can eat there again. I was a good customer.

    I love this place. The food is good. The drinks are great. The prices are reasonable. But tonight the waiter was terrible. We were having a meeting. There was potential for some serious tips but he never asked half the table if they wanted food. There were at least 3 people at the table that would have ordered had he given us the chance. So I just had my one glass of ice tea (never offered a refill). I was still going to leave a tip but when I asked for the bill he said don't worry about it. So I won't. I'll be back. But I think I will request someone else's section.

    First restaurant outing since hip replacement last week so even better/more enjoyable! Neat pub-type place, interesting menu Irish and other goodies. Waitperson was pleasant, knowledgeable about beers and just good service. I enjoyed a Boxty Reuben and Oh Yum!!! A Scots Ale to go with was nice too. Not cheap but worth it for all the above reasons. Check out the menu online and GO!!;!

    You want to know if O'Niell's is got it going on? Well I was impressed with the food for sure. They have a full bar and an outside patio that is larger than a lot of restaurants I have been too. The staff were friendly and accommodating, they did follow the rules for the pandemic we had to seat our party at 2 separate tables 6 feet apart. I will return and try some more of thier food out and let you know what I like. If you read this far you must be thinking of eating there. Check it out and let me know your experience.

  • 3/5 Catherine G. 6 months ago on Google
    We enjoyed the meal but as with anywhere with all the outside dining the bugs are atrocious. Way too many flies. And I know that's not the restaurants fault, but they were all over our food all evening! Otherwise, the food was good the service was very good.

  • 5/5 A B L. 5 months ago on Google
    Still nice enough to sit outside in November, O'Niell's is fantastic. Busy lunch service but still plenty of parking and seating, lovely service, excellent food. Highly recommend working your way through the menu.

    The service was quick and friendly, and our meals were SO GOOD we had to talk to the cook. My fish (in the Fish and Chips meal) was so crispy on the outside and tender inside! My husband said they must have set the fryer to PERFECT. And his Patty Melt was perfectly cooked the way he ordered it, which is hard to get these days. He had a beer and I had the Flight of Margaritas. The coconut margarita is the perfect dessert-y end to the meal.

    It used to be so much better. The food wasn't great. The drinks were good. The service inside was excellent. The patio service was extremely meh. Our server seemed confused, a bit lackadaisical bordering on oblivious, and he really didn't seem to know his products. As to the food: the vegies were in bad shape (not good, considering it was a vegetarian meal). The fried foods were either overdone or soggy. Maybe it was a bad day or shift. I get that. But O'Niell's is capable of excellence, and my date and I were a bit let down. On a pawsitive note: the puppers on the patio were really sweet.

  • 3/5 Michael H. 11 months ago on Google
    This place is old and tired, using the same menu for the past 5 to 7 years. There's nothing exciting on the menu and the staples including bangers and mash and burgers are average at best. It's not an authentic Irish pub. If it were, why would you put poutine, a Canadian dish, on an Irish menu. You can find better food and atmosphere elsewhere in the N.E. Heights.

  • 3/5 jeff r. 9 months ago on Google
    You guys should think about separating hot and cold food in the take out bags. Every thing was put in the same bag together and the salad was warn and gross. Sam's for the veggies in the fried pickles. Also I'd would be nice if the online menu had discriptions of what's in the dish. Craving a French dip I had the southwest dip it came with green chili in it. If I had known that I'd have ordered something else. Over all not bad but not great either. Was it worth $40 probably not this time. Partly my fault ...should have known the southwest dip would have green chili

    Used to really like their Philly Cheese Steak. On the visit the amount of beef was quite minimal. I think my wife had more turkey on her 1/2 turkey sandwich than the beef that was on my Philly. I will be back, but I will ask first if I can refuse the Philly if it comes to the table with that small amount of meat. The server was delightful and the atmosphere was great as usual.

  • 5/5 Christy M. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was excellent, and food was fast. Fish and chips and the lamb shepherd pie were enjoyed. (I'll request less gravy or on the side next time.) The tacos weren't enjoyed so much, we teased, shouldn't have ordered tacos at the Irish place. We'll be back.

  • 5/5 Jeanette B. 1 year ago on Google
    I placed an order online which makes me nervous because sometimes that doesn't always go well but not this time! My food was ready to go in 15 minutes and it was piping hot and delicious like always!! I love you guys so...Corn beef egg rolls!?! Oh how I need you in my life more often 💖

  • 4/5 Andrew M. 3 years ago on Google
    A very pleasant experience here. Stephen is a terrific server. Seating is spaced far apart, local artwork sports the walls inside and the outdoor seating provides heat lamps on a cold day. Safety is a priority and the staff and patrons here are responsible. I recommend the: 1. Fish & Chips 2. Blackened Bleu Burger (add bacon) 3. Nachos & Sweet Potato Fries 🥔 🍟 4. The fried pickles They know how to cook burgers here and their passion for making food is evident in what they serve you. Keep it up! This location has less of your traditional "pub" feel than the location on Knob Hill but Overall ... Service: (Fast & Friendly) 8/10 Decor & Vibe: 7/10 Food: 7/10 Go to O'Niell's!!

    It was okay. It could of been better. From the get go there was arguing between who appeared to be the floor manager and the servers. We were sat in a section that was closing soon instead of with the server that first approached us. I think if we had been sat with the original server this experience would of been better. The server attending the section closing soon was understandably innattentive and obviously ready to go home. The cocktails were weak but the beer was on point. Food was typical for the venue.

  • 5/5 A M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, atmosphere and beer. First time there for dinner and the place was packed. Now I know why and it was worth the wait. I had the traditional Rueben and it was delicious. I liked that I could pick from a lot of side options. Had a salad and it was freshly made with an excellent raspberry vinaigrette. The hubby had the fish and chips and he loved it. It came with 4 hot planks, French fries, coleslaw and tartar sauce. The beer was also excellent. It’s my new go to for dinner. Menu has wide selection and they even have a kids menu. Prices are reasonable, but the beer can be pricey. But alcohol is always pricey a restaurants. Highly recommend this place for a good meal.

    First Friday of the Lenten fish fry review. The fish as good but did not look like a filet or they used oval fish. 😉. The Guinness was poured well but a little cold. The staff was very nice and relatively attentive despite being very busy. I liked the wall of faithful where you can keep your own bottle of bourbon. Quite a nice touch to make one feel at home. Bar-top was a good size and comfortable.

    O'Niell's was a go to restraint for me and my friends when I lived in Albuquerque. We'd visit at least once or twice a month. The food is top notch, the atmosphere is great, and the staff are friendly and courteous. Sitting here now writing this my mouth is watering remembering how good their bangers and mash were. The Irish coffee is the best Irish coffee I've ever had! If I didn't live halfway across the country I'd be there tomorrow! Go to O'Niell's you'll love it.

  • 5/5 Michael F. 1 year ago on Google
    The photo isnt that good but that's my fault using a 35$ phone. Anyways, the food was fantastic. A smooth buttery Mashed potatoes, with a lamb stew Sheperds pie. Really it was awesome. The bread was a bit stale but when smothered with the pie it wasnt noticable. Like the outside was just a bit hard. The service was awesome and quick. Daniel was my servers name. Works nights except sunday. Good guy

  • 5/5 Stacey D. 1 year ago on Google
    I hosted a private event at this location. My expectations were exceeded! Everyone commented about how delicious the food was. The service was outstanding. The Service Manager was a gem to work with and help me achieve the vision I had for this event. I would highly recommend this venue for private events. Thank you so much to the amazing staff! What a wonderful experience!

    Always a great place to eat. Food was delicious, service was great. Thank you Sean K for the amazing service and attention!

  • 5/5 Rachel C. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful staff.they work as a team and it makes a good atmosphere. The food was amazing and when a a snaffoo regarding my food allergy happened they all jumped into action to remaket food. So refreshing to have an approachable and friendly staff AND phenomenal food and experienced staff. So rare in the pandemic age. Amazing music plays the whole time and there is an outdoor dog friendly patio. Always a good time wther alone for a quick bite or a first date or even anniversary.

    The food was amazing. Friendly atmosphere and the hospitality from the staff was just excellent. I will definitely be back next time I visit Albuquerque.

    I went there today for my Uncle's birthday. It was very busy but that didnt stop their EXCELLENT hospitality! We had Daniel as a server and he went above and beyond serving us. Great service and great food! The manager also took great care of us and made sure we were not forgotten on this busy Sunday. We will definitely be coming back again!
