Service was great they let is sit with our little old dog in the covered patio area at the front. Plus there was 8 of us. Staff was helpful and even check allergy concerns for some in our group. Food was good from the Irish nachos to the steak and shrimp. It's a pretty busy place so it was naturally a not loud. read more

Bottom Line Up Front: Hennessy's Grill is a pub and restaurant that serves food, drinks, and fun -- with awesome deals during the week. The Food: My party had lunch here specifically for the Thursday deal: $7 smash burgers. And we were pleasantly surprised to find out that not only was each smash burger huge (two cheese patties with bacon) but it also comes with fries. What a deal! Though it doesn't come with lettuce and tomatoes, and it was a little greasy, the smash burger was large, juicy, and satisfying. The fries were also really good; crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the inside. The Service: Our server was friendly, knowledge, and quick to respond when we asked for help. She also did us a solid by providing a side of lettuce (so my mom could get her veggies in) without charging us extra. The Atmosphere: Picture an Irish (American) pub and that's exactly what you get here. Fun decor, TV screens, wood furniture, and a bar area. There's also a small covered outdoor area facing Main Street. The Parking: There's a very small parking lot but there's a free street parking. Just note that they fill up quickly during peak hours. The Conclusion: If you're looking for good (but not amazing gourmet) food in a lively place near the ocean, Hennessy's Grill will serve up a good time. Plus, look for different deals during the middle of the week if you're looking to stretch your dollar. read more

I used to come here as a kid; I'm happy to know they're still solid for juicy burgers. When I say juicy burgers I mean put the napkin in your lap, and enjoy the ride Hennessey's will send ya on once your stacked burger arrives. I ordered an Irish burger with fancy bacon, fried onions, and Irish cheese, he got a burger with Bleu cheese. We both ate in silence despite the music jamming around us, wolfing down and savoring every last bite. I uhm. I barely ate my fries that burger was so filling. Service was on point, drinks were refilled, and there was no wait. Tuesdays are BOGO burgers. They used to have a burger for your birthday club (I gotta see if they still do). read more

They had me at Bloody Mary. And for 7.50, it was meant to try it out. We walked around Main Street looking for someplace for lunch and ended up here. Saw the open patio as we had the little pup with us. Noticed the hostess cleaning one of the tables and asked here if it was ok to have our pup with us. Of course she said, which we later seen that so many people would pop in with their fur babies. We checked in which there was about 4 other parties ahead of us. We were wanting the patio seating which they had plenty of seating but still had to wait for a table. It was about a 10 minute wait or so. They were going by the sign in sheet. Hostess was quite sweet and friendly. We got seating which there with plenty of seating still available. There was also hi top bar seating where it seemed like it was first come first serve seating. Menu for the place looked quite interesting. They had breakfast but it was only served till a certain time. Of course the reason we stopped in here was for the Bloody Mary deal we saw for 7.50. Not sure if it's all week or only on for the weekend. Found out that it goes on till 5:30 I believe. Of course we had to try it out. It was a pretty decent size and extra spicy how we like it. Adorned with celery stick, pickle slice, pearl onion, olives and perppercini. For the price, it was quite nice. I thought they would have just used the premixed but it was quoted that each one was made specifically. Quite tasty I must say. Entrees, we just went for a salad. The poke salad on top of mix spring greens was excellent. Nice full chunks of poke in a nice glaze and served with dressing on the side. Portion wise was massive for the price. And the Cobb salad. Your classic with all the usual toppings. Grilled chicken with bacons, tomatoes, avocado, eggs blue cheese crumbles and black olives. Food was nice. Nothing major but they were great. We did also order a side of fries which never came out but later didn't see it on the bill. Waitress must have not heard us ordering it. It was fine. The food was great and service was nice. Seating situation was by the list but we noticed that you could just walk in and have a seat along the patio hi top tables. read more

I had been hearing about Hennessy's from months from friends who are regulars. In town visiting and Hennessy's was a must try. We dined on a Thursday afternoon, I believe the bacon smash burgers are like $7. I was shocked at the hearty portion size at a rollback price. I could only finish half (hello leftovers) but it was delicious. Not pictured are the fries and the house made lemonade is a must have! I even got one to go! Fun time at Hennessy's and the smash burger is super popular; every table I glance at ordered one if not two! read more

Place was recommended by one of the vendors around the area so we thought we'd give it a try. Had a mushroom Swiss burger with fries & some crispy calamari for late lunch and it was really good! Hubby & I split the burger since we both couldn't finish eating one to ourselves. Burger was cooked medium well, is nicely seasoned and our bellies were truly satisfied. read more

Our second visit since we started our visit in SoCal. Parking in the tea is pretty tight. We were able to get a spot in their lot, even though a couple of large pickups made it even tighter! I decided on their California Citrus Salad with Salmon while my wife had a bowl of tomato bisque while splitting a basket of house chips. Delicious! Our sever/bar tender was lovely and friendly! We truly appreciated her hospitality! We just might be back again before we leave in a few weeks! read more

Great breakfast . My fiancé and I always share because after baratric surgery I just can't eat a whole meal . We got the veggie omelet . It was packed with fresh veggies . They even split the plate for us even though we didn't ask them too . The mimosa was strong . Great service . We had about 40 minutes to get breakfast and everything came out Im a timely manner . We didn't feel rushed to eat before we had to leave . We don't live local to Seal Beach and this is one of the nicest Hennessy's I've been to . The Irish pub motif is great . They have different specials during the week . If we did live local Im sure this would be a place we frequent . read more

I was really excited to show my friend how good the smash burger is, but after giving it such a strong recommendation, I ended up disappointed. The burger tasted like it had been sitting out--it arrived cold and didn't feel freshly made. I was enjoying my second beer and taking my time, but I started to feel rushed by the waitress, as if they needed to turn the table during a shift change. I didn't appreciate that at all. I paid for the meal, and I should be able to leave when I'm ready. read more

Hennessey's Grill - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Not sure why I could not be seated in an adequate seat. Waiting for a tiny table to be cleaned and instead of being able to sit in it, was offered a smaller bar seat facing people watching the game which I'm sure they would have been happy having me block their view while I ate my food inches from them. I was directly told no when asked about the table I was standing at "no I'm giving it to these 2 people" who walked up after I had already been there. I understand trying to seat everyone on a busy day but come on. This is 2nd time I am finding an inconsistency in the customer service here. I would probably not have posted this had another person not been also complaining about being passed up and had been waiting. I hate when places start thinking they are so popular they can lose customers from bad customer service and it won't make a difference. It's sad when you have 50% good customer service and then the rest that could care less. And before I get some response about it being a busy day due to the big game, the table I was waiting for was almost in the doorway clearly a last resort table. Would I have minded waiting for a spot? No. But why would I since it was only me, clearly my patronage was less valued than everyone else with 2 people or more. How sad. The server couldn't have cared less. It was that crappy bar stool or nothing. Considering even with specials, the minimum spend per person is $30 and up, I guess it's all about maximizing $$ and my $$ aren't enough. After being a happy customer in the padt, I can't recommend this place right now. read more

Highly recommend! Came here during lunch break with coworkers. Hennessey's Tavern serves American food; burgers, soup/salad, and sandwiches. I ordered the burger of the month, it was the BBQ Brisket Pretzel Burger ($19.75). It comes with a side of fries. It was super massive and delicious. I highly recommend this burger if you love meat. They have a small parking lot but i assume it's small. There's lots of parking space in the steet but it's all full and usually have to get lucky to find a space. Also not sure how seatings work here. We entered the restaurant, no one greeted us, so we just sat down at a table. Servers have to keep a keen eye out for new customers that sit down at the tables without them knowing. Interior is roomy and has cool decorations. read more

Good food, atmosphere and location on Main Street. Monday specials are great for burger & fries

So we were out to grab a bite to eat and the live music won me over. The dude performing was amazing and took all of our request. We grabbed some drinks and got the French Fry sampler. This was a first for me, but the plain fries and aioli was my favorite. Not to say the garlic fries and spicy fries weren't great as well. For my main I got the steak and shrimp and it did not disappoint. I got my steak medium and it was cooked just right. The mash potatoes and greens were a great pairing and it capped of a nice meal. This place is legit and the live music makes it even better read more

Today is Memorial Day, 5/26/25. We came in at the perfect time, which was about a1pm. Got seated right away. Now the place is filling up. Great atmosphere. Today we had the Fish and Chips- excellent. Three hearty fish sticks... and fries. Also had the Chicken Club on Sourdough. Hubby said it was very good. It comes with house made chips, and if you want to upgrade to fries instead, it cost $2.00. Hubby had a Bloody Mary, very good. Made with a house made mix, with the traditional peppery spices. Overall, the place is happin' and had tasty food. We a regular; love this place. read more

I ordered the Dublin Benedict. Potatoes were good. The hollandaise sauce didn't have flavor, the eggs were soft boiled white was raw in one of the eggs. I'm a breakfast person and I wouldn't take anyone there. Service was very short staffed so waiting for anything was lengthy. Ambiance is dependent on where you choose to sit. We were in the people watching section of the sidewalk. I truly was looking forward to finding a new breakfast hangout. Disappointed. read more

Went to Hennessey's today and wow was I impressed! Went with friends and were greeted immediately by staff with great attitudes. I'm here visiting from Texas, my friend took me there raving about the fresh squeezed drinks and food. I was pleasantly surprised. But most of all I was impressed by the staff. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming and the manager Gavin went the extra mile to make sure our visit was enjoyable. I had the hot pastrami sandwich, it was hot and super delicious. We also ordered the Irish nachos which again were delicious. I highly recommend this locally owned restaurant to anyone looking for good vibes and great food. read more

This is a nice little tavern in Old Town Seal Beach. They open early for breakfast. Lunch items are available at 11am. Check out the specials. You'll be happy you did. I had the Thursday Smash Burger with fries. It was a double burger with bacon and grilled onions. This was an amazing burger, one of the best I've had in a while. The fries were crispy just how I like them. They even brought a side of Ranch for my fries. All this for only $7 wow. The service is really good. I'm coming back to try some of their menu items. read more

I visited today on a very personal and emotional anniversary, hoping to sit at a table that holds a meaningful memory for me. I quietly explained this to the hostess and asked if it would be possible. Even though I offered to order enough for a larger table and there were other open tables available, I was told no. When I asked if management could reconsider, the response felt dismissive and lacking any empathy. I understand restaurants have policies, but kindness and compassion don't cost anything. Today was already a difficult day, and the way this was handled made it even harder. I left and I won't be returning, but I hope in the future there's more understanding for guests who may be going through something personal. (not me sitting in the car crying) read more

We had such a wonderful time at Hennessey's Tavern in Seal Beach this morning! The environment is amazing--relaxed, welcoming, and with great music that made Friday brunch feel extra special. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, which was delicious, and my husband got the vegan burger with a side salad. He was very happy with his meal, and we really appreciated how our waitress was super kind, friendly, and attentive--she even double-checked everything about the vegan food to make sure it was just right. Seal Beach has a lot of great spots, but this one stands out for the combination of good food, great service, and a fun vibe. Thank you, Hennessey's Tavern, for making our brunch such a lovely experience--we'll definitely be back! read more

Hennessey's Grill - Bloody Mary - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Seal Beach, California

If there was an award for "Most Misleading Burger of the Year," this $20 disappointment would win by a landslide. The advertised photo showed a thick, juicy, loaded masterpiece -- the kind of burger that practically winks at you as you order it. What I actually received looked like its malnourished cousin who hasn't slept in weeks. The patty was thin, the toppings were sad, and the whole thing had the energy of "I give up." For almost $20, I expected flavor, presentation, something resembling effort. Instead it tasted like someone assembled it out of obligation on their lunch break. If you want a burger that matches the picture, just admire the picture. If you want regret served in a bun, this is your place. One star for being technically food read more

I've been a regular at Hennessey's for a couple of years, Stopped in around 2:45 PM for the Smashburger special and asked to sub a Beyond patty. Instead of the usual $3 upgrade, I was told I had to pay full price, $19, for the same burger everyone else was getting for $7. Meat costs more than a veggie patty, so the math ain't mathin. Old management allowed the Beyond upgrade. Charging extra for not eating meat feels less like a policy and more like a punishment. Cute look. Love supporting local, but it should go both ways. Do better. read more

Skip this one. Thought we'd enjoy a good fish n chip at an Irish pub right? Got some soggy tubes of some king of mushy fish inside instead. Top that off with a warm bottle of Corona.

I was charged for the Corona explaining that the draft Coors and bottled Corona were the same price. Like I was born yesterday. Left with a bad taste in our mouths. read more
