Eat there several time during the craft fair weekend All the food we order was great especially the Steak Sandwich. The Staff was very friendly and kept coming back to make sure are glasses were full. read more

We had met some people here when we were in town and tried this place and at first they were kind of standoffish I was kind of not sure if I wanted to stay there and eat because it's just the first expression I had it was a busy night I don't know why it was so busy I don't remember if there was a game on or if they were just that popular but when we got there it was like we wanted to sit outside because it was nice outside and it was too crowded and too hot inside so we got there and it was really kind of a nice outside patio area so we kind of waited for a little bit for one to open up and it just seem like nobody was getting up to move to leave sundown at like I'd say about 25 minutes later there was like several groups that got up and we need up having to sit where we want to do which was good the way to trace was very nice him somehow to call him over a few times to get some items and stuff but that's what happens when you have one person working a whole entire outside area so it sometimes it gets a little busy their food was really good it was not too badly priced but some of the items I think we're a little over price and that's why I didn't get them it seem like there was more like pub food and a bar and grill type food there um they didn't have a good selection of alcohol so that was a nice plus that they had I had their salad which is really good other people on our party had sandwiches and burgers and everything and they were pretty good about the speed of everything I didn't have we didn't have to wait too long for food to come out so that was a good thing but when we left it was kind of dying down so I don't know if it was just a food dinner rush that we were in but it seem like it was not really a busy night and it was like towards the end of the evening sort of that we met our friends there so I will go back again and try other things there are some other things I wanted to try on their items I don't know faster or outside again or not but I'll probably go and it's not as busy too read more

I've been here twice in the last few months. One experience was great, the other was awful, hence the 3 star rating. The first time, my mom and I came for a Friday afternoon lunch. That experience was great. Our server was awesome, food was great, and we had no complaints. Try the Shepard's pie if you're in, you won't be disappointed! My second experience was not good. My wife and I stopped in here at 9pm approximately on a Wednesday. We wanted to have a beer and appetizers. We sat at a table in the bar area and waited for service. Then we waited some more. There were approximately 15 customers in the bar and 5 staff in our vicinity. We sat there for 15 minutes and no one greeted us, nor did anyone offer us drinks. We decided to leave and go to Trailhead where we always get good service. I just couldn't believe how many times staff walked right by our table in a mostly empty bar and no one even said a word to us. I'll probably come here again, but I'll avoid later on weeknights because of this poor experience. read more

If you're walking around old town St. Charles and looking for a good lunch or dinner, you should walk a little further down the road. I had a party of five on a Sunday at 4pm. We were sat promptly, but that's about where the timeliness stopped. It took more than an hour to get our food, after it was ordered. And this wasn't some crazy mid afternoon rush, the place was 3/4 full. I had a seasonal salmon salad which included a lot of lettuce and about 3 oz. of salmon. It is a good thing this establishments has a good location, otherwise the mismanagement would kill it within months. There's enough places around that are far superior. I'll be walking a little further on our next visit. read more

The impossible burger was very delicious and the bread pudding is oh so pleasing to the palette. The service was pretty good as well!

Crazy busy on a Saturday night. Many TV's with all of the sport games. We had a great server who check in at jus the right times, she offered great suggestions for drinks and food. It was starting to get loud in the place around 830 so we decided to leave. I always have a good time at an Irish pub. read more

This place is mediocre at best. I went in with mid-range expectations and was still let down by the quality of the food. I've tried both the fish and chips and their burger and both were sub-average. I tried a friends pub curry and the saucy parts seemed pretty good but I don't think I'll go back here after 2 trips and neither being very good. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is ok so I guess its a good place for a beer. read more

Was in town for a convention and asked the bartender at our hotel where she would eat if she was us. She mentioned a couple places all on the same area as this one. The first one she mentioned was closed so we settled in for a cold beer on the patio. It was really inviting. Outdoor furniture was comfortable, music wasn't unreasonably loud, and waitress was attentive to our needs. I had BBQ honey wings and they were really good. Friend had a Reuben sandwich and she gave it a three out of 5 stars. Beer was cold, patio was clean. Was a pleasure to have some local food with local folks and not a chain dining experience. read more

Llywelyn's Pub - Wings were really good! - Irish Near Me - St. Charles, Missouri

I've been to three of the Llywellyn's locations. This one is the most up-to-date, I think. They have the same menu and, based on the two times I've visited, the same food quality (i.e. pretty good), but I like the ambience here a little better. I went yesterday for a business lunch. Had a cobb salad, which was very good. Service was perfect and friendly, they have their own lot, which is a plus in this area. Not sure how they could have improved for this visit. They also have a nice patio. Prices are a little steep for a menu that's not all that special (it may have been special ten year ago, but not anymore). They have a nice list of draft beers. I rate it a great place to stop for a beer or lunch if your in the area. read more

On a trip back home stopped here for lunch and sadly it wasn't as good as I remembered. Must've been an off day or something...at least I hope that's what it was. The pint of cider was a true pint - YAY - but the rest of the meal was a bit lacking. We ordered the Irish fried pies which are supposed to be filled with tater, onions and corned beef. Our first order of them had a fried outside but felt like it was still in the fridge inside. Sent it back got another order which was hot through and through but mostly filled with mashed potato. You had to hunt for the specks of corned beef. Hubs' Reuben while tasty was very short on the Russian dressing (ie. dry) so we asked for a cup of dressing to fix it up and my salmon salad was tasty but the salmon was just barely warm like it had been sitting for awhile. Bummed that our trip down memory meal lane was full of bumps. read more

As long as you stick to the hot pretzels you'll be fine -- my family and friends were super disappointed in everything else we ordered. How do you screw up a burger? A steak sandwich? We all ended up stealing chicken strips off our kids plates to make up for food we ordered but could not eat. Want fries with that? You'll be lucky if you get four. And the prices ....wayyyyy too expensive for what they are dishing out. Service was great. And the drinks were good. But the kitchen needs new management stat. They are making the coffee shop directly across the street look like a four star restaurant. read more

The food was outstanding! I had the potato boxty appetizer. It was super! I also tried the steak sandwich! It was outstanding...too big to finish in one meal. My dining partner had the black bean burger with the pub fries. She also really enjoyed her meal. The service was great and very attentive. The beer selection could be improved - they have the same ol' tired "Irish Favorites". There are so many local breweries that could provide much better beer selection. The biggest negative is the smoking. I'm from Illinois and smoking is banned in restaurants. It really grosses me out to have to eat around people that are smoking. read more

On top of the great food and atmosphere, I received the most excellent service. I had an issue with a receipt and Greg worked with me weeks later to fix my problem. THANK YOU! read more

Ah, Llywelyn's Pub, if you want something tasty and Irish, look no further. I have been going to all the Llywelyn's locations for years. They just seem to get better with age. This one is fairly new in St. Charles, and it's in an old bank. You can still walk through the old vault, which is neat. The food has always been tasty and service has been consistently good. We had the Irish Pies last time for an appetizer, they were delicious, but I am partial to the pretzels and cheese. I ordered the Llywelyn's Burger with their rarebit sauce. It was a great choice and tasted better than I expected. Try them out and see how happy it is to by Irish! Haha! read more

I met my dad here for lunch yesterday. It's a cool old bank building; Llywelyn's just opened in the last few months, as I understand it, and the (large) patio was still undergoing renovations on the day we visited. My dad had a a burger that he loved, and it looked delicious on the plate. It was served on what looked to be an English muffin (?). Their coleslaw is vinegar-base. Like that. I ordered the Reuben and it was rather ordinary. Presented well but ... how to say ... rather flabby, loose. Typically I'm a fan of sweet potato fries but theirs were startlingly orange. And too much food for a lunch portion; I carried half home with me. I'd give them another visit but I don't see this being a destination dine for me. read more

Visiting family in St. Louis and heading out to dinner with a party of 8 with a child, a newborn, and our dog Kya. We needed a place that allows dogs so we called ahead to R. T. Weilers. We arrived and they had given the outdoor tables away. We were left to walk the streets of downtown St. Charles not knowing where to go. We stumbled upon Lywelyn's Pub and they had a large patio, you can see the river, and we saw a few dogs relaxing with owners so we jumped as we saw a large party departing and leaving their 10 top table open. Lywelyn's has a nice selection of draft beverages to include not just beer but also ciders. The food is Irish inspired pub food so not fine dining but good. Staff was friendly, drinks were cold and the food was good. Service took a little while but all tables we full so they were busy as it was a Saturday night. I would highly recommend it for a relaxing evening. If the weather is nice sit on the patio and enjoy the ambiance and view with a nice draft. read more

Llywelyn's Pub - Guinness Beef Flat Bread pizza and Pub Burger with sweet potato waffle fries. - Irish Near Me - St. Charles, Missouri

Ate here today and the service was impeccable. Lots of great craft and imported and domestic beers available. The waiter was very knowledgeable in all of them and also had recommendations for our lunch. My daughter had the Buffalo chicken flatbread and I had the Llywelyn's chicken and they kindly left the bun off of it and added a nice lettuce leaf to roll it into. It was amazing! coleslaw is housemade. Just a very light vinaigrette and not overpowering. We had a blast and it was the best food I've had in a long time. Wonderful for a leisurely Sunday late lunch. read more

KEEP A COPY OF YOUR CREDIT CARD RECEIPT! I want to start by saying that I have never had a business treat me with such disregard. I went to this restaurant for a late night cap and the weather and atmosphere was perfect here. We had 2 beers and an order of wings that turned out to be perfect. The waitress was busy/overwhelmed but friendly. We finished about midnight, paid the bill (about $25.00) with a credit card and left. I receive text alerts when my credit card is used and when I got home (about 40 miles away) I looked and was charged over $60.00!! I called the restaurant that night, spoke with a manager and was told it was a compute glitch and it would drop off by morning. I didn't buy the explanation but waited till the next day as he asked. Of course it didn't drop off so I called my credit card company and was told that it was a firm charge and it was paid out. I called back to tell the manager and was told by another manager that he would look into it and call me back (he was too busy that morning and short of staff) I waited another day and called back because I didn't receive a call back as I was told. The "third" manager I spoke with gave me a heavy attitude and informed me that it would be taken care of and they would refund my money. They then refunded my card HALF of the overcharged difference! By this time I was naturally angry. I then called and the manager and he wouldn't speak with me. I had to go to their restaurant in person, a 40 mile drive for me. When I arrived I was told they would fix it again and they they would refund all of my check for the hassle. I received a new credit that was only the rest of what was over charged. Really!?? This place will never get my business again and I hope after reading my review you choose to do the same. There are other people that have had similar problems and the owners obviously don't care about their reputation as having an honest business. I believe this was an attempt at overcharging for tips or shady business practices to make extra money. The management never even apologized for the issue that was brought on by the mistakes of their crew. BUYER BEWARE! read more

We had a weird experience on St. Patrick's Day. They seemed to have a reduced menu for the holiday, which was counterintuitive. Our server was also noticeably annoyed - not necessarily with us, just in general. I ordered Irish chips that never actually came, and she barely checked on our table. When the bills came, many of the prices were incorrect, and the store and customer copies of the receipts were shuffled between the 3 of us. I attribute the confusion to the St. Patrick's Day craziness. They have a huge beer list, and the fries were delicious. I wouldn't going back to see if things are better on a normal day. read more

Had the bangers and mashed and was very satisfied. The food is a little on the high side for a bar but the food is definitely above average for a bar too so it weighs itself out. Fairly large menu as well. Much more than I would have expected, most bars typically have the one page menu but they had a full fold out menu. During the day it is typically slow and quiet so if your not into the bar scene it doesn't really have that feeling during the day. At night though they are usually very busy and have music on the patio. Very fun place to stop in on a night out with friends. read more

I'll tell you this was really awful. We were a group of 4 girls. We sat for about 20 minutes, ignored. When we did get our food, shortly after ordering. Our chicken dish was not cooked all the way through. Our salad was served with cheese when we requested none. And. We were given fries instead of mashed potatoes. I'll say it. Get your shit together. read more

I am just not a fan of this Llywelyn's location at all. Which is a shame, because it's so damn close to my house. I could probably walk there in about 10 minutes or so. Man... this update wasn't for any one particular visit but rather a collection of a few more visits over a period of several months. On a more recent trip, Sean and I were seated downstairs and there was ONE waitress for an entire almost totally filled room of people. Yeah. Wtf. She was running her butt off! I left her a good tip even though the waters didn't get filled too often. There was just no way humanly possible she could have made it. Also, the only mildly appealing thing on their menu is the sliders and even then, meh. This place can't hold a flame to the Scottish Arms. I wish they'd get turned into the Scottish Arms magically so I could walk there, get trashed, eat an amazing cheese board, and stagger home. ...only in my dreams! read more

I'll be honest, I'd already had a few pops when I walked in here. But they have Fullers ESB on tap. Served room temperature with no CO2 hooked up to the keg. So EXACTLY how it's supposed to be served and how they do it in England. This is the best beer you've never had, do yourself a favor. It's so smooth it goes down like water. Granted, you might want to arrange a ride home, but whatever. Bartender was very fast and friendly, loved the nice interior with the polished wood and basement and jail cell looking room. Not sure what it was but it made me giggle and think of the Hooters in Selma, TX that is in the same building the county jail used to occupy. read more

I wasn't sure if I'd really like Llywelyn's but I really did and actually can't wait to go back! I didn't really get the whole pub experience because I was there for a graduation dinner with 30 people in the basement. But next time I'd love to sit upstairs and grab a few drinks. They really were so accommodating for our large group. In the basement there is a pool table and a shuffle board table which is great for entertaining guests while waiting for food. We had some pretzels, fried pickles, and house chips while waiting for our meals. The pretzels were super good! And of course I love house chips and fried pickles. Although I wish the pickles would have been served with ranch and not tartar sauce. So I ordered the cod sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. I would have totally gotten the house chips to make it a regular ole Fish and Chips but I already had them as an appetizer. The sandwich was great! The fish was very white and flakey and yet super moist. Everyone had different dishes and the one I want to come back for most is the Shepherd's Pie. For one, it looked amazing, and two, I've never had one! It seems like the ultimate comfort food. Not one person complained about their food. Everyone was very happy with their choice! The best part of the experience was definitely our server. He was all by himself with our large group and another table but he did AMAZING. The service was incredible. He had drinks constantly refilled and brought out all of our meals at the same time. I was so impressed! All in all, I'm excited to come back for some drinks upstairs and try more of the dishes. read more

Four of us stopped over at Llywelyn's for a mid week drink before dinner. As the blues were playing the next day, we got a free round of buds which was great. Wouldn't call it a fully Irish pub though seeing as we are from Ireland. read more

I always come to llywelns and until today my experience has always been great. Today I went in and put my name n the wait list it was going to be 20 min me and my friend used the restroom when we came back my husband told the hostess we would wait at the bar while waiting at the bar we went to see how much longer the wait was and they took us off the list so we were upset and sat ourselves whatever waitress came over was a complete bitch and yelled at us when we asked to see manager she told us it was our fault I will never be back. Terrible service read more

We were there today at around 2 pm -- well past the lunch rush. The restaurant was not busy. The service was extremely slow and non-attentive. We watched as the three tables seated after ours were served their food. We watched and waited some more. When our food finally did arrive, the fish and chips was lukewarm. Also, the pub chips at both Llywelyn's we've been to always seem to be overdone to the point of being brown. I guess that is just the way they're done at this place. I'd give this restaurant 3 stars for food, as the other dishes were OK, but one star for service, hence the 2-star average. The building is nice -- it's obviously an old bank and the vaults are still there. It was also well-decorated for Halloween. read more

I was looking forward to trying Llywelyn's for the first time because I'd been told by a lot of people how good it was, and that I should try it on Main Street for lunch sometime. I was a bit disappointed on this trip here, not as great as I expected at all, sadly. I ordered the beer battered cod sandwich, the sandwich that it came on was soggy and gross on the bottom, the fish was alright but a very very small piece of cod. I needed to add salt, lemon and tartar sauce for it to have any flavor. Our waitress forgot the sauces that go with our meals and we had to wait about 10 mins for them and had to ask a different waitress to please find our non-attentive waitress. the pub fries were really delicious, I will say that. My family both ordered the roasted beef sandwich and claimed it was horrible, inedible and had no taste. I felt bad because I suggested this place maybe other locations are better. I'd be willing to go back and try something else but I guess in general staff is not very friendly here. read more

I took a recent trip to England and had the best fish & chips of my life on Hayling Island, right across the street from the beach and the English Channel. The fish & chips at Llywelyn's ranks a close second. read more

I always enjoy the beer and food here. The seasonal salads are delicious and the flatbreads are great. The beer selection is out of this world. I'm a huge milk stout girl and the New Holland's Dragon Stout is crazy good. If you like bourbon, chocolate, coffee, and beer, this beer is for you. What puts this place over the top is the service. Friendly faces, great food, and someone who makes you feel welcome is a trifecta of restaurant perfection. Well done. read more

There was something off about the food this time. My kids wouldn't eat their food. My food had a burnt taste, my cheese was melted half on my plate and half on the hamburger and the bottom bun was soggy. I would have complained but our server was super crabby. She was tending bar, waiting on the full bar, and the full four tables behind the bar. She rolled her eyes when we asked what type of drinks were available for the kids and mumbled pepsi products. When my son took too long to order, she tapped her foot and looked ready to explode. I don't think we'll be back to this location. read more

Shepherd's pie was terrible. No potatoes??? Shepherd pie? Inattentive bar staff. Beer was just ok. Won't be coming back. Not with the money.

Llywelyn's has 4 local pubs, but I like this location on the cobblestone Main Street in St. Charles. Perfect for the whole family, the large dining room gets pretty noisy so kids will fit right in. I like that there is live music in the dining room and a huge beer menu. The reason that it only gets 3 stars from me is that I always struggle to find something on the menu to eat other than a basic burger. I guess it's just not my type of food. Service has always been good and friendly. read more

Kudos to Llywelyn's for accommodating for our big group! A friend wanted to have her 30th birthday dinner here and I offered to help her arrange everything. I called a month ahead and talked with the manager about having a group of 15 dine there on a Saturday night. They don't normally take reservations so I wasn't sure if it was eve possible. They were helpful and we got it set up. Little did I know that our group of 15 was going to grow thanks to people inviting lots of others and a week prior I had to call and ask if we could up the reservation to 20. They said they'd note it but no guarantees because they knew they'd be busy and it was a game night. Day of the reservation I called that morning just to double check. They said they had it down but because the Blues were playing that night (actually they played a day game that day) they would be busy but they would see what they could do. I arrived early and talked with the hostess who told me that they were waiting for a table to clear and we'd get this entire area. The hostess was very helpful and sure enough she got our big group into one area. The food was delish and I did expect it to come out a bit cold or whatnot due to the size of the group that was getting their food but it did not. It came out fresh and ready to devour. We started with the pub chips, which are always a hit and continued on with the chicken wrap and a pub burger, plus a few drinks. The wait staff assigned to us did a great job and were on their toes making sure we all had everything we needed. Thank you again Llywelyn's - we will certainly be back! read more

I frequent Llywelyns a lot on the weekends, and it's one of my favorite bars on main st in st Charles. They get pretty crowded on the weekends, and usually have a fun crowd. Their drinks are pretty cheap, and they have a good selection of beer and liquor drinks available. They have a pool table and darts in the basement of the bar which I enjoy, but both are in really sketchy rooms with sticky floors. I would describe this place as your typical college bar on the weekends. I did visit last week and get a chance to try their food. It was better than I expected, with a good selection of Irish classics and bar food. I got the sweet potato waffle fries and the Sheppards pie, and I enjoyed both. Not out of this world, but they were tasty. I would recommend Llywelyns more as a bar than a restaurant, but both the drinks and food selections are pretty good. read more

Meet friends weekly at the LLywelyns in St. Charles Main St. Service is always superb and we very much enjoy the outdoor bar/patio. However, lately has been a bit disappointing as the TVs on the patio have been out of order for quite some time and the bar garage doors are out of order also. Definitely obstructs the view of the river. We enjoyed the patio well through late fall last year and was hoping to do the same this year but have heard that things may not be fixed til spring....please say this is not so :( read more

good food, slow service but they were probably understaffed so I can't blame them but it was some really good food and I love the old bank style. read more

Very disappointing early Mother's Day lunch! This particular establishment was 'out' of Brittany chicken salad, my 'go to' at all Llywelyn's, saying the truck 'would be in sometime this afternoon.' Ordered the bowl of white chicken chili, to be delivered less than lukewarm. Abbi appeared already overworked, so my husband's recommendation of 'reheating' was not an option! The view was nice, as always, and Abbi did provide a bowl of water for my dog, an above & beyond gesture. No one seemed to care that this was my Mother's Day lunch (my choice of restaurants) & the positive experience this was suppose to be. Not how I would treat others in my business! read more

Not impressed with the St . Charles location. Had a reservation for a reception. After waiting an hour my favorite dish was as bad as the service. My rosemary chicken Flatbread had no rosemary. Not quite the same. read more
