    Stopped in after the pride parade in Chicago for the first time! Our bartender Kim was very friendly and hospitable! Kate came over and started a very pleasant conversation with us. A wonderful experience. Seasoned fries were so good!

    First time here. Even though I was by myself I had a good time. Great atmosphere. Watched the Bulls and Blackhawks. Enjoyed some great food. Loved playing bingo and listening to karaoke. I will definitely be back. I hope to enjoy it with other people

    We came to Oak Forest to play in a baseball tournament and had a group of 35 who just showed up at the Blarney Stone. They didn't hesitate at all and were able to quickly seat us in their rear party room!!! The room was perfect, especially with many of our kids between the ages of 3 to 17, we didn't disturb the rest of the patrons. Not only was the room perfect, but the service, drinks, and food were outstanding as well. When the kid's started getting a little restless waiting for the adults to finish enjoying themselves, the great staff set up cornhole outside on their spacious patio which helped entertain the kids so the parents could enjoy the remainder of their evening!! That was on night one!!! The next night, Saturday, we were looking for a place to eat. Being a busy night several places looked at us like we were crazy for trying to get in their establishment, so I called the Blarney Stone and asked if it would be possible to get in there again. Without hesitation they said to head their way, they would have the room ready for us! When we arrived they had the room set up with pitchers of soda, lemonade and water ready for us!!! Once again the service and food was outstanding. The kids had a cornhole tournament on the patio that even gained the attention of other patrons for the exciting finals!!! We travel quite a bit for tournaments, but our experience at the Blarney Stone was head and shoulders above anywhere else we've been!!! Thank you to everyone at the Blarney Stone and if you're looking for a great place for a large group or just a night out with friends this is the place to go!!!!

    The atmosphere is always a great spot to get away from the wife or perfect if you are trying to watch the game. The beer selection and drink menu is out of this world but don't forget they have great food too. The Cajun chicken sandwich makes you want to hug the chef and 2 red sangrias will have you moon walking out the place. If you get heather or bre as a server your about to have a good time. 5 stars hands down check it out.

    Seriously can't say enough about this place. The hot wings are the best I've had. Spicy, crunchy, flavorful, hot. Yum. The calzone is amazing. Unlike any other. They give you a side of sauce and dipping juice. 16 inches can feed 5 plus people. Atmosphere is nice and welcoming. Kids welcome and the drinks are good. Always my favorite stop when in Oak Forest!

    The beer selection was really good. Our server was good and attentive. Overall, I liked the place. Would come back here again.

    Friendly service. Ate outdoors everyone was social distancing. Staff wore facemasks. Wasnt required for customers. Had the 12'' Calzone and barely ate half if it. Always a great place for awesome food and drinks. First time trying the calzones which I had heard so much about. About $15 for the 12'', but well worth it as I said I was stuffed after half of it so I've got a meal for later too!

    Seasoned fries and pizza were good. Pizza for dine in is always good, delivered pizza always misses the mark for us.

    We tried it for the first time. Had their Pizza. Not going to say it's become our favorite Pizza but, it definitely was very good. Will definitely do it again. We picked it up. Service was great as well. Very friendly. We had an XL Cheese & Sausage (well done) Traditional thin crust pizza. Tried their Wednesday ½ price special.

    I used to hang out here 20 years ago when I lived here, and it was my favorite bar. I am visiting family in town, so I decided to check it out. I'm not disappointed one tiny little bit! The food was good. The service was good. And the updates are very nice.

    My wife hosted a Bridal Shower here today for our son & his future bride. Everything was excellent from the perfect size party room with fireplace, to the great service that Jessie gave us, to the delicious food as coordinated by Kim. Thanks for making our day as special as the kids (Bride & Groom) we were their to celebrate!

    We visited Blarnery Stone on 2/13/2024 at 8:45pm, ordered drinks and food at 8:50pm. Took a while for our drinks, then our server came back to our table at 9:02 to inform us the kitchen was closed. Not once were we told the kitchen would be closing soon. Very disappointed with poor communication and service.

    I have to say the food is amazing, the waitresses were AMAZING and the atmosphere is great. The only complaint i have is the manager Kim, for a manager she has horrible customer service and very rude. Such a shame

  • 5/5 Thomas D. 5 months ago on Google
    I like to come here to visit my boys when I can. It is tough these days to find such a great place. I have to keep it from the wife. She wouldn't understand after all these years..

  • 5/5 jack p. 10 months ago on Google
    Unreal experience! Had the new ribs they were some of the best I’ve ever had! Service was unbelievably great. Jack was super helpful as well.

  • 5/5 Zack S. 10 months ago on Google
    Great service from all the staff. Food was great. Atmosphere in there was perfect. Just went there last weekend. Jack, Joey, and Gerard were all very welcoming.

  • 5/5 Dan P. 10 months ago on Google
    My buddies and I came down on a Friday night and had an absolute ball! New staff was so friendly and fun. Jack, Joey and Gerard were great! The ribs were unreal and was licking my chops for round 2. My buddies and I will be back soon.

    We have had a few private parties here and the service has been fantastic, but the Manager Kim is the one I was very highly disappointed with, she tried to cheat us out of a deposit she wrote out and told us she would give us back as credit at the party and tried to tell me to prove she did that because she didn't believe she would ever be that generous. So I had to leave my party to drive home to grab a recept that had her writting and signature proving her wrong. So watch that lady she is very rude and cocky and it's a shame because we would have done more business there if it wasn't for her. The girls all made out well atleast.

    A bar without multiple personalities ~~ The music was especially loud for a Sunday afternoon (3:30 pm) & Bright LED stage lighting made 75% of table seating - uncomfortable. Drinks were fairly priced But - Smokers and vapers, we're regularly clouding the bar / by utilizing a patio area attached to the main room I would not recommend - the Steak and cheese bites This appetizer, was described as = steak - bleu cheese egg rolls/ Alas, I believe the cook, needs to change the "fry oil" - as the taste was slightly rancid . Easy to access, with parking, video gambling - And a lively crowd... Service was attentive : Perhaps, my visit was just a bad day ?🍍

    Blarney Stone is a good hangout spot with solid pub-style pizza and great service. The staff here are super friendly and always attentive. My only gripe is the location. I wouldn't bring down my rating for this, but eating outside here is a bit depressing because everything nearby is either closed down or ugly. Inside, it's what you'd expect from an Irish-American pub.

  • 5/5 Katie F. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful atmosphere, amazing service and even better food! The Chicago area can be very expensive and the prices here are so reasonable!

  • 5/5 R SHIP 3. 1 year ago on Google
    Was there for a private party. The food was great and the facility was clean. I'd recommend it to anybody looking for a place in the area.

  • 5/5 Dave S. 2 years ago on Google
    Don't be put off by plain exterior. Expected "bar food" and Got an awesome summer salad with fresh cooked warm chicken breast. May come back and see a band next weekend. Great spot.

  • 3/5 Diaab m. 1 year ago on Google
    It's not a bad place they do have a really decent selection of craft beers that are not considered domestic I have ordered appetizers from here before I believe I ordered the Irish/Reuben egg rolls they were over fried. For the most part the servers were friendly and very accommodating and I did happen to show up on a bingo night that ended up also turning into a karaoke night all in all of you go there after 9:00 it gets pretty lively.

    The building inside and out looks nice. We stopped there after seeing a movie at Marcus Theater, after seeing their menus online. When we got there though, that was about the extent of the good. The two bartenders were way more interested in telling stories to each other rather than paying attention to their people at the bar. Maybe it was just a weird time. We tried asking for menus but we were either ignored or they didn't hear us for their story. Once we pulled money out to pay for the drinks they were quick to come over 😄 paid and left, got food at Miner Dunn on the way home instead.

  • 5/5 Joseph S. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff was amazing there were probably 15 of us and everything was perfect the bar tender made sure keep the drinks coming all staff were very knowledgeable on beers drinks and food can't wait to go back

  • 4/5 Gary M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good thin crust pizza. Our server was very attentive, even though she had a lot of other tables. I think this place is suffering from the same as every other nice restaurant, not enough employees.

  • 5/5 Gia L. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great late night spot, some weekends you need a reservation because of how crowded it gets. They could definitely get some more bartenders during this time, but they usually help you at a good pace.

  • 5/5 J G. 2 years ago on Google
    I come here about once a week and the food is always amazing along with their drink selection. Their prices are also great. Love trying their daily shots!!

  • 3/5 Patrick M. 2 years ago on Google
    Waitress didn't know how much beers were or how much a bucket was. I do like this place as a good south side Irish place though. Just need to train the staff better.

  • 5/5 Bob C. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great time. Had met some people next to us and found that they liked Bourbon as much as we did. Was great conversation. And now have some new friends. P.S. The service was EXCELLENT !

  • 5/5 Cathy C. 2 years ago on Google
    Food and service was excellent! Even though the Bartender (Kevin?, I didn't get his name), was working alone, he was very friendly and made us feel right at home. Will definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Mariah A. 2 years ago on Google
    The ladies that work here are amazing. They are friendly and definitely hard working. I had an amazing time and I will be coming back.

  • 5/5 Brandee S. 2 years ago on Google
    Steak bites are cool because you get to cook it to your liking on a heated stone. The steak is marinated and the stone comes with a sprig of rosemary already smoking on top. The garlic Parmesan chicken tenders are good too; you get 3 nice sized pieces.

  • 5/5 Justin M. 2 years ago on Google
    Our server was a jack of all trades today. He was awesome! Food, Drinks and Playlist were on point. Killer tap list including Bourbon County. Been a while between visits but will be back soon.

  • 5/5 Ann R. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped in to grab some food to go, b/c I was craving fish and chips. Turns out they did not have fish and chips, but they had DELICIOUS shrimp po boys and the BEST seasoned fries around!!!! I rarely leave reviews, but I wanted to take the time to leave a rave review- b/c this place is so deserving!!!! The staff was super friendly, and the entire place was sparkling clean! I haven't been in this place in about 20 years, but I will definitely be coming back very soon! THANK YOU BLARNEY STONE STAFF!!!!
