I guess I'll start with the good. Their fish and chips are good. With that said, I can find as good or better elsewhere. On to the bad. I've been here a number of times, and typically found the service to be slow and inattentive. True story: the quickest I've ever been served a beer was when I accidentally ordered a beer from someone who wasn't actually our server. I have found that their draft beer "menu" is more of a rough estimate of the beers they might have, rather than a definitive list of the beers they do have. It's pretty common that if most of my group of friends (generally 4-6 people) orders a beer, at least one of us will have to re-order because their list contains a beer they no longer have. So, Pro Tip: if you're seated at a table, have a backup beer in mind (like the Schlafly Brown Dragon, because they always have that) if you want to maximize your chances of having an actual beer in front of you before you're left wondering, "Why don't I have a beer yet?" Now, I can understand running out of things. That happens in a business. Still, this happens way too often and is pretty frustrating. So, you may be wondering why I keep going to this place if I have so many complaints. That's simple. My friends and I generally came here weekly (and spent money) because we enjoyed doing trivia here on Sunday nights. It was fun. Unfortunately, Llywelyn's Webster Groves has decided to end Sunday night trivia. The result of this is that my friends and I no longer have a reason or desire to come back to this establishment. read more

This is the second time in the last couple months we've gotten takeout burgers from the Webster location. The first time, both burgers were medium rare (we ordered medium well). Totally gross, unacceptable- but maybe it a fluke, maybe it was someone new on the line.... who knows but we were willing to forgive and give another chance. So tonight we are tired and don't want to cook so we give the burgers another chance. And mine, medium to medium well first couple bites, but most of the burger was very very pink. Completely unacceptable for a line cook, expo, and management to let burgers like this leave the restaurant this often. We will not return to this restaurant. Shame on them for such negligent service. read more

My family & I were having an enjoyable night until we got to Llywelyn's. We knew we would have to wait a little bit longer than usual because we had a bigger group but we weren't expecting to wait over an hour to be seated at 8 pm on a Monday. They were not overly busy & there were tables available, I guess they were just too lazy to clean them off...it was almost as if they wished we would leave so they didn't have to serve us. In fact, other parties were walking in & right back out because the hostess was no where to be found. We gave them the benefit of the doubt though & waited it out. The server proceeds to tell us they are out of multiple food items after we had just waited over an hour before sitting down. It also took an hour to get our food & unfortunately the majority of it was cold or not the right order. Our server barely waited on us , was not friendly & was nowhere to be found for the 3 hours we spent there. You would think they would have a sense of urgency & extra hospitality considering the circumstances but both of those were non existent. I will never go back to this place ever again & I do not recommend it to anyone else. I would give this place 0/5 stars if I could. read more

Very good service after our waitress found us. The manager apologized for our wait and brought complimentary chips for the inconvenience- very professional. Corned Beef and hash was good - but needed more corned beef. The grilled cheese got very high marks. A few too many children around for this pub, and suggest this for adults not families. read more

I have been in the business for 38 yrs plus. We arrived here at 5:45 for a concert for our grandaughter No one even approached our table for over 30 minutes. We had to go to the bar for a drink order. When the server did come to take our order I wasn't about to spend my money here! Worst service I have ever had! This place needs a bar rescue! read more

this place stinks like bleach! the space, the beer glasses and it is GROSS.

We moved to WG about a year ago. At first we really liked this place. Unfortunately it has gone seriously down hill recently. We have had raw chicken, cold soup, and rotten hamburger. We always chalked the indifferent staff up to them being busy (not sure why given their food and service). The last straw was recently when I told the waiter to be sure the white bean chili was hot. Of course he brought it to me at room temp. My guest and I sent ours back. About 20 minutes later the waiter brought it back and it looked like dog food! Seriously! And it was stone cold. It only could have been that bad on purpose. I should have taken a picture. Needless to say, we're done with this place, which saddens me since it is only about 2 1/2 blocks from our home. I would recommend to the owners that they get a handle on things, start training their waiters, and find some cooks who want to prepare good food. read more

Went in on Saturday at noon. Restaurant about half filled. Service was slow. Didn't get food for half hour. The Welsh Rarebit was cold and terrible. Cheese was gloppy and over dressed with fried onions. It looked like the cook just threw everything on the plate. Bartender was slow but had a lot of tables she was working. read more

What has happened to this place! We walked in to warm air and that was inside the dining room. It was probably the same temperature outside and it was in the high 80's. We asked right away if they could turn the fans on and the server said it would make it worse because the warm air from the ceiling would blow down on us. The strange thing about the air conditioner not working was the bar area was cool and no one was in there. Why wouldn't a "manager" suggest the guests dine in the bar area instead of the warm dining room?​ We should have run​ out after that​ but decided to stay. Unfortunately,​ it got worse. The service was poor. When the meals arrived they were as bad or worse than the service. After eating half of my chicken sandwich my daughter pointed out the mold on the bread. I knew the bread was not fresh, but couldn't imagine anyone in the kitchen preparing a meal with mold on it. My granddaughter could have made a better-grilled​ cheese sandwich and she is only 4 years old. The fish sandwiches were not good either. There were​ only about 8 guests inside and around that many sitting out on the patio. I will never go back to this location and hope the new locations aren't managed as poorly as the Webster Groves location. I have to say this is the worse restaurant I have ever dined at. I wouldn't have given even 1 star. read more

Been to Llywelyn's three times in the last couple of months. My experiences were as follows. 1. Memorial Day, around 1:30 with hubs and kids. Okay, we were all hot, tired, and hungry; not a good combination. Hubs ordered some curry thing, I got the fish and chips with rarebit sauce, and the kids ordered something I can't remember. What I do recall is that our waitress, although nice enough, was completely incompetent. She brought the kids the wrong food and her earth-shattering response was, Oh yeah, I did. The curry was terrible; really thin and watery. The fish and chips were fine, although the fish pieces were a little too think. Let's be honest, here: I am just not a fan of in-house chips. I'm an asshole and like the stuff out of the bag, okay? I don't know why I keep trying these things at restaurants. Waitress was overtly inattentive, so the manager got involved, and he saved the day by apologizing and comping the kiddie meals. 2. Met a friend here for hangover lunch on a Sunday. Waitress was better, but still no rock star. This time, I asked for buffalo chicken tenders, just not in the wrap, which is the only way they appear on the menu. Waitress said she would "see what she could do." Huh? I'm asking for LESS effort here; just throw the damn things on a plate and skip the wrap and its accoutrements. She came through (wow, what a champ!). I gotta say, those bastards were good, and the fries were excellent. My friend ordered the fried pickle spears, which were also tasty. The only way I've had fried pickles were in chip form, and I think those are better in terms of batter/pickle ratio. Friend also ordered a pretzel bread thing with some decent cheesy dipping sauce. 3. Met aforementioned friend, her sister, and another gal for ladies' night. Had the waitress from trip #1. She was slightly improved, but I was half in the bag by the time we left and in a forgiving mood. Got the Caesar salad this time (more room for booze), and it was very good; would definitely get again. Drinks were actually pretty cheap, which was a pleasant surprise. The family sitting next to us moved at one point because we were too loud. DON'T TAKE YOUR SMALL CHILDREN TO DINNER AT A BAR AFTER 7 P.M. IF YOU FIND ADULT CONVERSATION INAPPROPRIATE. Where were my kids? At home where they belong at that hour. All was good until the waitress asked us to cash out so she could go home. Yes, we were getting ready to leave, but seriously? Bottom line: standard bar food fare is good. Service here is craptacular, so consider yourself warned. Whoever is hiring and/or training needs to find another vocation. Will I go back? Yeah, probably. read more

Food is usually OK. On our last visit an extremely rude, argumentative host was waiting in front to ruin what we had hoped would be a pleasant evening on the patio. I attempted to contact the company and request that they call me but no one responded. Poor management results in poor employees and unhappy customers. read more

Took my 2 work colleagues to lunch here. The food was great and the service, even better! I asked if they had any tables near an electric outlet for my laptop, and they immediately showed us a couple nice choices. The pretzel appetizers with the cheese sauce are a favorite of mine--I order them every time, every though I don't need them! The cobb salad looked and tasted great. And the apple cobbler ala mode was a delicious finish touch! read more

Always have a great experience when we go here! The food is great pub fare with a few more modernized dishes. Servers are always quick and friendly although service outside takes a bit longer, but that's to be expected since it's so far from the kitchen. Bar selection is great - especially since they just started carrying the Republic of Tea bottles teas. The only area for improvement for me would be the parking. There is a lot in the back, but it fills up quickly and there is limited street parking since the street is so narrow. read more

Recently visited the pub in Webster Groves and though I have been to this location several times, the service was unbelievably slow and barely existent. While I am not a review leaver, this last visit left me never wanting to return. Simple items like water and take away boxes were asked for multiple times and though our server nodded and said absolutely, he never returned with any of them. If he came back to the table, it was empty handed. I had to go to the bar to get a water and track another server down in order to get boxes. The food wasn't bad at all, but our appetizer came out with the meal after specifying we would like it prior. It took our server 27 minutes to return to our table at one point, I know, because I was waiting for a beverage. I have historically really enjoyed Llywelyn's which is another reason I found this visit so disappointing. Our issue was truly with the server and not Llywelyn's Pub but it was enough that I will not be back. read more

Will not be going back here again. Have been here and to other Llewelyn's Pubs over the past year, and were treated great , the food was pretty good. This time though the manager was rude to one of our party of eight and refused to extend the promised discount to some in our party who attended the Big River Running Pub Run. It was just very poor customer service . There are too many other restaurants in the Saint Louis area to frequent, no need to accept rudeness from management. read more

The food was only so-so. I ordered a side of "seasoned vegetables," expecting a creative blend, but they were bland, and meager to boot. But the draft beer was the real loser. Fuller's ESB is a great ale, but the stuff that came out of their tap was dead. If you can't maintain your taps, don't sell draft beer. read more

My parents went there for Saint Patrick's Day and had a bad experience. They had to put their name on the list to wait for a table. They ordered a drink and were walking around the place and saw several open tables. They went over the man in charge of the seating and asked if they could be seated. The man proceeded to berate them and was very rude and short with the. My parents are two of the nicest people in the world. They are 83 and 84 and out for a drink and some corned beef. They put their drinks down and immediately left. I am not trying to say the whole place is bad - but if other workers are the same as this guy - it must be a bad place. Hopefully it is just one bad apple... read more
