Great burger, chicken sandwiches and hot dogs. This is a dive bar. Very old, very New England, so…read moreit's a vibe. All good, just know what to expect. A few annoying things. Waitresses don't write anything down, so things get missed. Every time I ask to grill or toast the bread, they never do. Comes out with a cold bun and distracts from the taste of great grilled meat. Also, they charge for things like mayo and mustard on the burger. Really, really annoying to get nicked and fined like that.

I had the Charr'd Grill Sampler today. It was a scrumptious smorgasbord of chicken tenders, chicken…read morewings, mozzarella logs and cowboy bites. Until today I didn't even know what a cowboy bite was but I surely enjoyed the tangy taste. I dipped all of the above in delicious dips that make the sampler my new favorite at my favorite grill.

I immediately noticed a food pantry box for donations in the lobby as well as a Lions club eye glass recycling box and I felt right at home, thinking this restaurant is committed to community out reach. Our meals came out fast, our waitress Angie was a power house and chatter quieted down offering a sign that everyone's food was hitting the spot. I personally loved my well done flatbread pizza as i am a crunch -a-holic and they honored my request. As we were leaving I found that they have a regular visually impaired visitor and then it all made sense. Nicole and Angie your hearts make this home town eatery and bar a very welcoming place.

The entrance area smelled strongly of smoke and then the bench I sat on was covered in an unpleasant stained fabric.

The hottest chicks in Lowell go here. Just bring earplugs because you WILL get earaped. I would…read moresuggest bringing ear plugs to any place that has music though because a lot of DJs become deaf to certain frequencies so while the music overall may not be dangerously loud the treble might be uncomfortably loud compared to everything else for example. I've never had the food but it looks and smells delicious and some nights the pool is free. if you're looking for a roomy, open concept bar to chill at, this is a great place, and PLEASE don't be afraid to mention them to turn down the music because even though everyone else is scared to speak up they will definitely be thankful. And don't be one of those people who thinks that Not blowing out your eardrums from loud music is uncool because guess what, being deaf is probably one of the uncoolest things you could do if you where blessed with the gift of hearing and then ended up losing it from being careless.

Shortly after sitting, sounded like a cover band was practicing upstairs (loud, but not too bad). Bartender waitress came to take our order. Drinks & food came out promptly. The bartender seemed to forget about us, so I went to get a drink refill as I had an empty glass for 10 minutes. The food was better than I was expecting (for a bar/tavern). Prices for food and drink was reasonable.

Bar area is comfortable and they have six or so televisions hanging on the wall tuned in to various sports channels. On a Red Sox game day or Sunday Patriots football, this is probably quite the spot. We sat outside this evening and other than several entirely too loud motorcycles going to and fro with the Harley dealer up the street, it was quite pleasant. We had good service from a friendly waitress who mostly got our orders correct and when she didn't, apologized. I had the sirloin steak tips for main course. A big portion of large pieces of meat, they were covered in a bourbon sauce that was tasty. And now that I think about it, I wasn't asked how I wanted them done. They were medium. Onion rings on the side were tasty. Desserts looked great. Apple crisp and hot fudge sundae were good sized portions and presented well. Overall, a positive experience and I would return to Jon Ryan's. Maybe next time, we'll sit inside away from the noisy bikes. [Review 17866 overall - 1125 in Massachusetts - 1387 of 2022.]
