First off, I have huge respect for the people and businesses of Paradise & Magalia who chose to stay and rebuild from the wake of nightmarish devastation of the Camp Fire, Barney O'Rourke's is one of them. I'm new to the area so I don't have any previous experiences with the food from before the fire but I will say it was good, not over the top but the type of fare I would expect in a pub. But it arrived hot and appealing. The burger I had was delicious as were the fries. They had a nice selection of craft beers along with a full bar. The ambiance is fun, locals, families, friends getting together for a break away from the everyday so it can get a bit noisy, don't let that deter you. read more

Very chill place to visit for burger and beer I guess, we sat outside because we came with our dog. The bartender who greeted us said to sit down wherever, we sat outside and I ask for cider and she came back to our food order, quick bite that's all. read more

Had dinner last night, service was great!!! Very chill place, tons to look at, love the decor and had a few sport games on the big screens. I had the burger w blue cheese, bacon, pickles, lettuce and grilled onion and it was amazing!!! Will be back for sure!! read more

Wanted to like this place but man was it bad. Burger Patty was In n Out thin but 2.5xs the price and the bun way too thick for the size. Fries were cheap quality and overall food just felt like a bad snack bar at crazy prices. read more

Food was not only fresh and delicious but clean and not heavy. The burgers are delicious and the season fries are killer along with the onion rings. The server was nice not pushy and genuine. Just a lovely place all around. Come here. Don't sleep on it. Prices are affordable too. We ate all our food as soon as it hit the table so just trust me you'll love it here. Ask for Kim she's a legend. read more

I love Barney's!! Love the burgers, friendly faces and fun feel. They Chicken Poblano Soup was great!!

Good burger place, family owened and always friendly service, love the fried pickles! Clean and inviting, one of our fave spots in Paradise

We were in town visiting from Bay Area August 3rd for a couple hours. We weren't expecting fine dining so we're liked eating here. We met one of the owners and she was very nice and welcoming. Very clean and cozy. Burgers were great and prices were very reasonable. We would definitely return next time we visit. read more

Service was great! Food was great! What more could you ask for. I don't think I could find one thing to complain about.

Let me start by saying that I love this place. While I do not live in Paradise my daughter, grandson son in law and husband family do. So when my wife and I are visiting we love coming to this spot. Great burgers, lot of beers to choose from. Plenty of TV's for sports viewing. The food is fresh and maid to order. The staff is very attentive and pleasant. Always very clean inside. In my opinion this is the best spot in Paradise. read more

First off, all ya'll that have bitching about Barney's not being "an Irish bar". You are correct. Barney's is an institution. It's been around for 30 some odd years and I never once thought of it as an Irish bar. If you feel the need for corned beef, show up on March 17th. If you need a Guinness or Jameson, show up any a day. The fish and chips (although I substituted onion rings, and they were fantastic) and the fish tacos were amazing. Sit at the bar, have Taylor serve you and you will not be neglected or bored. She's awesome! Barney's is like a hug. Rebuilt after the fire and it feels like a lodge where all your friends are. If you're looking for an Irish bar, this is not it. If you're looking for family, you're home. read more

I love this place, never been there before because it's a little farther from my home but it's excellent food and prices cool decor and service! read more

Good food. Cool place but the bartender was rude. Kinda strange. Not sure what I did to deserve such attitude. ( Dark hair girl with no smile and zero eye contact) like I said, kinda weird, unfriendly, doesn't make me want to go back anytime soon which sucks because I live within 1 mile. Hopefully there are other bartenders who are friendlier. I will try them again, but not for awhile. read more

Terrible food and most of it frozen. I wouldn't suggest this place to anyone. It's a bummer that the place is large enough to fit a lot of people but the food is just bad. read more

Really good fish and chips, generous portion, and fast service. Quiet when there but could be noisy when busier.

Great burgers and friendly service in a nice clean new location in Paradise. What more can ask for?

Only been here once for lunch. Staff are friendly and attentive Big horseshoe bar, plenty of tables, nice space. . They have some crayons, books for kids 3 screens for sports. I had a good hot buttered rum. The standard higher end liquor, 8 taps, and standard fare bottles and few cans, only saw 1 or 2 wines. Got the grilled chicken tacos that came with chips and salsa; generous tacos and good! It's pub food, and it's good. The burgers looked real good, and they offer a vegie burger as well as chicken sandwich. Comfortable, I'll be back, and maybe make it a regular place for myself . read more

We enjoyed a dinner here on a Saturday night. It was clean and nicely decorated. The only negative about the ambiance was the acoustics-- noise bounced around a lot. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. Our meals (a Patty Melt with onion rings and Fried Shrimp & Fries) arrived promptly and were plentiful and reasonably priced. Although they have a full bar, we just had a glass of wine and a bottle of beer. I would recommend this place for dinner or even just for drinks & appetizers. read more

Ambiance is nice ...but we have been here over 40 mins and all I ordered was a chillie cheese fry ..think I'm gonna leave if foods not here soon..all my son ordered chicken sandwich but our patients is running low ...I heard another customer just ask if cook died Lol...waitress is telling everyone it's a new cook ...I just realized it's the lady that was outside taking a selfie when we pulled into parking lot..Not sure how to give this any stars..waitress seems nice and is only personn we see here?? Where's the owners?? Someone that came in after us just got an appetizer time to leave it's now been an hour! WONT BE BACK read more

Barney O'Rourke's - Menu - American Near Me - Paradise, California

The name sets itself up for defeat. I expected some sort of Irish cuisine. The building is beautiful . That's the extant of my enjoyment here. The interior design is confusing for the name of the business. Yeah..... I get it..... it's still the name that you see first. Forgetting the slightly racist menu names my server seemed sad wasn't listed the same way anymore, the food is bowling alley adjacent. Burgers fingers and alcohol. Light on the seasoning and heavy on the expectations that they are the only food in town. read more

Wish I would of taken a picture! My elderly father and I went in today. We had taken a ride and ended up in Paradise. Yelped restaurants and found Barney O'Rourkes and I'm so glad we did. First off we I stepped inside I was welcomed by some well working AC...Score!! Great decor very Outdoor Western. Our order was taken and the food and drinks were quickly served. I have to say my Patty melt may of been the best I've had. Beef, cheese, grilled onions on French bread. The sauce was almost a thousand island but not quite. Whatever it was was perfect. My Dad was equally impressed with his BLT. I loved the fact that the sandwiches were not supersized. Perfect portions.The waitress was very pleasant , friendly and efficient. I'll be back next time I'm in the area. Did I mention the price was a very pleasant surprise read more

Hi there Tonya here! I took my Husband and Grandkids here for Father's Day this year. We All absolutely Loved It. We had the Blue Burger.."(I think its called)" just EXCELLENT!! I recommend this place. read more

I am a foodie that travels all over the state, always in search for the beat tacos, burgers, pizza etc.. When it comes to Barney O'Rourke's I can honeatly say that I have never had a burger I enjoy more than their classic(I add mustard). On top of that, they have a nice bar and it's a friendly atmosphere. No matter who attends me, I've always gotten nice customer service. I live 3 hours away but due to business I am in Paradise a lot and this is definitely my favorite place to eat in town. read more

Ordered a burger without the bun. They offered a lettuce wrap. It came with the bun. Such a bummer.

I've eaten here three times, was really excited about a new bar and grill opening up on the ridge, but I must say each time we've eaten here it's been a complete disappointment. They are supposed to be known for their burgers ours were over cooked and flavorless, prices are pretty high considering what you're getting, a quarter pound burger is 11.00. Sides are all extra. Service is slow and none personal, our last visit (and they weren't busy) took 45 minutes to get our meal! The owner kept telling us you're next. We will never venture back unless the change ownership it's just that bad. read more

Best Bloody Mary ever! I was so happy to see they have reopened. I have eaten there a couple times before the fire. I didn't really go there for the food honestly. But for the bloody mary's - YES YES YES! read more

We've waited over AN HOUR for our food on multiple occasions, tonight was the one that finally sent me over the edge. 50mins into the wait we FINALLY got our appetizer, We were fed up by this point but kept it civil. After another 15 mins of waiting I walked up and told them we're leaving and we'll pay for whatever we used. 1 Double Shot drink, 1 kids drink, 1 soda, 1 appetizer. That came out to just under $30 ontop of that my first drink was flat, so I got another, the other drink came with a surprise piece of something stuck to the inside of the cup half way down. I do not recommend this place, I will not go back here. Even Disneyland has shorter wait times than this place. read more

Enjoyed our first visit. The building is nice with large shaped bar area. The weather was warm so the inside was cool, we sat outside by the misters. That was a nice touch! Was thinking the wait staff wasn't going to be happy serving us outside, but I was wrong. Taylor was very welcoming, kind and patient with us. She checked on us often to see if we needed anything. Chicken sandwich, wings and tacos were delicious. Look forward to returning and trying other items. Thank you Barney's read more

If you want to be completely ignored and disrespected come here. I had not one but two servers tell me they would be right there to take my order and after waiting thirty minutes watching them walk by me multiple times and say they would be right there, another one came up to apologize and take my order only to be pulled away to do something else. Finally got my order ordered but I honestly just wanted to tell them to suck it and leave. Worst service ever. So disrespectful and rude did they not want to serve me cause I looked alternative!?! Don't go here, they only will serve their own families promptly otherwise you're dead in their eyes. Saw the bartender taste a dudes drink to (the blue one and don't act like I didn't catch it and than serve it !!!) disgusting read more

There are very few food options and the taste is not worth your time. It's mostly geared towards people who want fast easy alcohol, I think. The servers were nice enough, but nothing exemplary. The interior is new but very bland and I can't help but look at the giant saws and antlers on the walls and wonder how awful it would be if they fell down, you know? Final Destination vibes. read more

Salted fries cold from frozen . My mom sad the patty was like a McDonald's patty. They got our order mix up on the way like our burger cooked. So got them cooked right but no fires. So the put 10 chips instead.. I could not taste the burger I tasted the thousand island dressing type sauce and bread. I would not recommend this place to know not even worth the $10.00 we had to pay for each burger. read more

If you like a big open atmosphere, a huge U-shaped bar, multiple perimeter seating, friendly patrons, friendly staff, good cocktails, and above all yummy burgers and fries, you will like this place. I was never a Barney's fan, but after 4 recent visits, I am now hooked. I look forward to going back! read more

First restaurant to build back congratulations! This is a local hot spot for great burgers and bar food. Hangout with friends and play dice. Looking forward to some good weather so I can enjoy the back porch play some cornhole and chill with friends read more

Not great food or environment. The waitress tried to make it better. Paper plates and burger was too expensive

Excellent tasting cheese mushroom burger and fries $13.50. Burger w fies is $10.50, cheese add $1, mushrooms add $2. Do notice that with all their prices listed on their menu tax is already included. So when they list their burger with fries for $10.50 it's really a $9.75 burger/fries plus tax. Bun was great. Fries somewhat like McDonalds (good). Friendly service. Comfortable seating, nice feel. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on tap $4.50 (price includes tax) Soft drink $2.50 includes tax also free refill. read more

I ate there 2 weeks ago and had the Taco's. I ending up vomiting for 5 days really sick because of the meal. I nearly had to go to the hospital. I told a friend who ate there the day before I did, had the Taco's, and also got sick. I can never return and eat there again. read more

Our group of four showed up today (a Sunday) right at noon, along with several other groups. We got the last table. The place was jammed, noisy, and the wait staff was overwhelmed. The waitress showed up a few minutes, was very pleasant, helped us with our order. A few minutes later our drinks arrived. 40 minutes after we arrived, our food arrived. This was too long for a lunch meal, but the food was good not great (2 fish & chips, 1 Barney's Burger, and a wrap). The fries were too salty, the dressing in the wrap was supposed to be on the side but wasn't, but the beer battered fish were good as was the cheeseburger. The two biggest issues were the long wait and the noise. Maybe the beautiful day brought out more diners than they expected because by the time we left several other wait staff had appeared. But they can fix the noise. The interior walls bounce the sound all over so it's hard to hear the person next to you much less the person across the table. They can apply well-known and not-too-expensive sound-management techniques to help control the crowd noise. The owners put in a big effort to rebuild after the fire. I suggest they invest a little more to upgrade to a first class dining establishment. read more

A very cute look from outside. Ambience inside very nice. The Bobo tacos were delicious. Service was both friendly and outstanding. I would definitely recommend. read more

Very overpriced. Everything was frozen than fried with the fried items. Shrimp tasted frozen, and the mushrooms were not crispy. Bloody mary seemed to be made with some kind of salsa and very little vodka. Positive note: Burger was very good. And the ketchup was really nice. It definitely was not just heinz. read more

Locals bar. Bag fries. Box burger. Lotsa goop. Surprisingly well cooked burger for its thinness. But the grill has no flavor yet. Looking for a burger I'm sure there is better around here. But staff is friendly and they have 3 different IPA's. McDonald's is less expensive. read more
