The good: The ambience is lively & theres plenty of tv's all around. Daily specials. Constant stream of people coming in and out. This is a nice spot in Plainfield. I've personally been here probably over 50 times (no joke) since I've moved to Plainfield 2 yrs ago. Everything I've ever had was spot on great food. 1st bad experience: They added a few new items to the menu which I was super excited about. I had the carne asada. I was skeptical at first because, I mean this isn't a traditional Mexican restaurant but I thought.....why not.....everything else has always been super good. As you can see the presentation was outstanding!!!! I was super pumped especially because I ordered a Kentucky Mule (which was fabulous by the way). I started eating the steak & it weirdly didn't have a flavor....I kept eating & toward the middle end of eating it....it tasted sour.....I thought it was me.....I had a beer & then drinking the Mule.....but when i had the last 2 bites it tasted moldy. I got worried & didn't say anything until i checked out. There were 2 lady's tending the tables & bar. I told the nice lady with the glasses as I was checking out about my experience & told her as a suggestion to check the meat. I wasn't expecting her to discount my plate nor did I ask for a discount. She was super super nice about it. She told me I should have said something about it....but i explained to her that i thought it was just me because i was soo hungry & eating fast & drinking the mule....that i didn't notice till the end. KUDOS to the waitress with the glasses!!! Thank you for being kind! I will definitely be back per usual to this spot. I think maybe because its a new item its not moving to fast?....& it was already past due?....I dunno but I just wanted to share with you my experience. Suggestion to all that cook carne asada (skirt steak): for it to be spot on with the seasoning....use Adobo....but it needs to be the Criolla brand. A lot of places use Goya Adobo but thats pure salt with no taste. Criolla Adobo is good on all meats & gives it a great taste. If you're gonna grill it.....season with Adobo & put in a zip lock bag over night with vinegar.....& oh emm geee.....the most tender, flavorful skirt steak!!! I've even left 'em seasoning for 3 days...& thats even better & more tender. read more

We have been to the three McBride's in the area and they all had great food. Their fries were always crispy, meats marinated and cooked well. The All you can eat fish & chips are huge portions. The au jus for their prime rib dip is scratch made and different than the usual but delicious. Service has always been good as well. read more

I walked out of this place feeling genuinely shaken and embarrassed. The bar was almost completely empty, and the lack of any real ambience should've been my first warning. All I did was ask for a menu before ordering, and somehow that simple question turned into a moment that made the entire room stare at me. A male customer suddenly yelled across the bar that the kitchen was closed--even though the bartender had already told us. When I calmly said that we hadn't asked him or spoken to him at all, the bartender started yelling at me instead of addressing the man who caused the issue. I couldn't believe it. It was humiliating, and I felt small, confused, and completely unwelcome. I couldn't even finish the drink I paid for because I was so uncomfortable. No one should walk into a bar and walk out feeling like that. I won't be returning. read more

Service is always great. Great local spot for a drink and some food. They have Bingo on Thursday, Singo on Mondays. Great for families especially on Wednesdays because kids eat free. read more

McBride's Pub & Grille - McBride's Punch - Pubs Near Me - Plainfield, Illinois

We stopped here while out running an errand and I am so glad we did. The interior has a pretty typical bar/restaurant layout. The place was clean, the vibe was good, and it was pleasant. We felt comfortable immediately. I really liked the music playing, and it was at a good volume; we could easily have a conversation. My husband noted the men's room was nicer than he expected and very clean. There was a lone server handling the bar and the seated patrons--honestly, I was impressed by the service we received given there were a decent number of people there. I think her name is Karen if our receipt is right. Props to her, she was fabulous! Very prompt, friendly, and accurately anticipated our needs. The food was excellent. I had a Reuben with French fries, my guy had a prime rib dip with mashed potatoes and gravy. The cheese pull on his sandwich was impressive and the my Reuben was better than most I've had--flavorful and moist despite that I asked for no dressing. The fries were perfect, too--my husband stole like half of them. His meal was the perfect size, mine was generous for my appetite; I ended up taking home half the sandwich and a good portion of fries (despite sharing with my husband). Overall, we thought it was a good value for a very good lunch. Will happily return and recommend! read more

Great food and good service. Several years ago my daughter and son-in-law used to go for their Friday night all you can eat cod dinners. Wednesday my 2 friends and I went there for lunch. But would the cod still be good? My lunch with 3 pieces of fried cod with French fries and coleslaw was so delicious. I definitely couldn't eat that much so lunch for the next day was a given. I just threw the cod and fries in my Air Fryer and it turned out great. This McBride's is the original one and the quality of food remains the same. My friends had pulled pork and the other had a Reuben. They enjoyed their food as much as I did. We walked out with large containers of leftovers to enjoy later. I most definitely recommend McBride's on Caton Farm Road you won't be sorry!! read more

Great food, staff, and owners! Highly recommend grilled chicken sandwich, chop salad, and pub club wrap or sandwich

The atmosphere & music here is second to none. I moved in the area dang near a year ago. This is one of the closest joints to me so naturally I go check it out. Walked in & was shocked at how deceivingly large it was, considering it looks fairly small from the outside. There's this gritty, but good, atmosphere with classic rock/alternative rock always playing. Giving that feeling that you're truly in a pub & not some strip mall, so to speak. Then comes the food... large portion sizes, phenomenal meats, great food/drink deals, vast menu variety, weeknights they host bingo & other games with prizes, I could go on & on. Since first visiting this place a year ago I've returned nearly 20 times with friends & family. I even went on St. Patrick's day when they had a trailer in the parking lot full of multiple kegs that had green died beer running to the pub. I cannot fathom how someone in the reviews claimed "it was nothing too fancy". If you want fancy maybe don't go to a pub. This place has my heart & it's an attest to the staff, cooks, customer base, & owner(s). I tip my cap to the owner(s), well done. read more

The food is pretty good, everything I've ordered has been top notch. The service is excellent, always friendly. Just a nice place to visit.

I have never had poutine until I went here. I don't have anything to base theirs off of but I really like their poutine. Also, their bloody Mary's are great! I highly recommend you try one! read more

I used to go here all the time until my last experience. I was here for 20 minutes without a sever greeting me. They seem to be understaffed. read more

This is a great local bar & grill. We bring our kids up for dimmer or visit for weekend drinks when we can. The portions are huge, the ranch is awesome, the drinks are always good. My favorite is the turkey Swiss panini but we like burger basket night too. My kids love the chicken tenders & the salads are huge. Service is usually pretty good but we have gone on some evenings where they're short staffed but the ones working are definitely hustling! read more

My home away from home. Always feel welcome and beer ready for me before I even sit down.

This place is cool. Stumbled on to it for lunch. Everything smelled great service was great and the patrons were friendly. A friend lives nearby; we'll be back with our lady friends on a Friday or Saturday night. This place is cool. read more

First I want to say this, they pour real drinks and have a good selection of beers an ales. I want to also say that their food, Bar Food, is very good and nicely proportioned, the burgers are to die for. Each time I have visited McBride's I have met friendly people and the staff is always friendly. In conclusion...Good Food, Good Drinks and Good Friendly and Professional staff, makes this place a Good place to visit. read more

Came here for the first time today. The closest thing I've seen to a neighborhood bar since I've lived in Plainfield. The staff seemed to know most of the customers and were very friendly and accommodating,albeit short staffed (like everywhere else). I ordered the shepherds pie and it was outstanding! Definitely recommend this place. read more

Stopped by for the Bears game with a few friends. Nice bar and good experience for the game. Kyle, Bri and Cody were excellent with their service today- great job guys!! read more

Food is well worth the money and service is helpful and attentive. Ask about there specials especially Sunday

The burgers are great. Had a reasonable price on Sunday. the waiter was fantastic. Nice place to be to eat.

Absolutely not. Never in life would I come back to this place. The patrons are the problem and I guess you could say the employees should know better too. Two men were way over served at 8pm. My guest and I were sitting three tables over. These two over served drunks were on speaker phone talking to a friend of theirs. They were loud,obnoxious and spewing homophobic slurs. I can deal with two or three ( not because it's ok, just because drunk people are dumb anyway) but it was going on for almost 20 mins. They were loud I mean loud. I finally got up went to the bar and requested my check. Waitress asked why and of course I told her. It was the most uncomfortable situation. I thought Plainfield always bragger how much classier the people are in their town compared to Joliet. Uhhh I think you guys need another vote. Trashiest place I've ever been in and I lived in the hood of south side of Chicago in the 90s. Js. Horrible place. read more

Friendly atmosphere and clean. The food has always been fresh and tasty. Live the mini burgers

The bartender was an absolute ass and wouldn't serve me my cheap beer because "I didn't tip him" even thought I plan on drinking more then one beer. Avoiding me because I don't tip on my first drink like an amateur. I get it, times get hard but don't take it out on an equally broke college student. I avoid this place for a reason. read more

Been here a few times since we moved out this way. Food is good but the service sucks! People tend to be rude. Guess its because I am not a "regular". Wont ever be one with their attitude. read more

This is a great place for a burger and a beer. On Sunday and Tuesday they have a half pound burger and fries for $5! Also, during the week they have different things each night. For example, Monday night is trivia night. The drinks are a decent price, especially if you get the specials. The regular food menu is not bad, but the specials are really worth it. There are families there and they are kid friendly. Really friendly bar staff and if you sit at a table, Jo is the best server in the industry! Definitely worth a shot if you haven't been there before. read more
