We where pleasantly surprised at the decor. Ever walk into a place with the idea you will be so underwhelmed, I walked in and just dropped my jaw. The interior has real charm We where warmly greeted and seated. We where not at all that hungry especially me since I had a good size lunch. My wife has bugged me to try here for awhile and since we where headed back to Boerne said let's do it. My wife is a smart lady, has good food intuition. The menu covers a lot without being obstinate. I liked the fact it went into detail on each entree on how it's prepared. I opted for the prime rib burger and wife got the chiefs salad. We also ordered cocktails which where perfect. No room for the apps but they sure looked good. My burger was really good had a ton of flavor, wife's salad was so fresh with crisp lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers. We where in no hurry which was good because it took us over 2 hrs for our meal Now will I go back yes! They have a ribeye with my name on it. Why don't I take photos, we agreed a long time ago to leave the phone in the car when we dined out. I wish we hadn't this time. read more

Ahhhhmazing restaurant! Unbelievable food...the lamb is to die for. Always the perfect temp. Love, love, love the fried mushroom app. Tonight the vegetable of the day was baked butternut squash- it was phenomenal! Service was exceptional- thanks, Rob!!!! read more

O'Brien's Restaurant - Sancho Panza - made w Housemade Prime Rib burgers! - American Near Me - Bergheim, Texas

See all

Arrived at 8;00pm and were told that they close at 8;00 pm instead of 9;00 pm due to Covid. Parking lot had many cars.

I ate there today with a group of about 14 friends, and we all really really enjoyed our meals. The service was good, although it did take a little while to get our food, but nothing ridiculous. Everybody was friendly, and the food was surprisingly good and exceeded our expectations. I had the artichoke chicken with a side of macaroni and cheese, and it was great! My wife had a wedge salad to start with, and she said it was excellent. Her only complaint was that her grilled shrimp was a little salty. The cinnamon ice cream dessert was the best cinnamon ice cream I've ever had. read more

Great patio under the oaks, great food, full bar and real good tunes on Friday nights (reservations recommended) If you want to get our of the city and chill in hill country I highly recommend. Enjoy read more

Just went to O'Brien's, 848 SH-46 Boerne, for New Years Eve dinner. I was so excited to go since we just moved here and passed by this restaurant several times. They had a special of prime rib for $46 and I thought it MUST be good for that price so I ordered it. It took almost an hour to come out. There was a lot of fat on the edge and the meat was chewy, stringy, not well seasoned, and difficult to eat. I tried three bites just to give it a chance but cutting through it was also difficult. I then moved on to the twice baked potatoes which were ok so I ate about 1/4 of them. I told the server the prime rib was not good quality, not for $46. She came back and said they would take $20 off of the bill. I know I didn't eat $26 worth of food so probably will not go back. Very disappointed. read more

First time and was not impressed. 3 of us dining, daughter had the chicken, my wife and I had the filet "special". No bread while you wait, no salad with the meal, 1 side, $130 total! Food was good, but for that price, I've had better. It's disappointing that the prices were so high, even burgers were $19 bucks. Won't go again given other multiple choices more reasonably priced. read more

I went to O'Brien's for a rehearsal dinner and was a little hesitant. I am not much of a fan of Irish food, but I was pleasantly surprised. The service was fantastic. Our drinks were kept full. Our plates were cleared away instantly and the staff seemed to be ready for whatever we asked for. The food was served buffet style. I had the Bangers and Mash, red potatoes with sour cream and dill pickles, and lastly an Irish brownie. The sausage and mashed potatoes were great, nothing special. The red potatoes were AMAZING!!!! I went back three times to get more. The Irish brownie was ok. I really didn't like the overall flavor or texture (seemed dried out), but everyone else really seemed to like it. Maybe it just wasn't meant for me. Overall, it was a really good dining experience. I would recommend O'Brien's if your in the neighborhood. read more

We love O'Brien's! They offer a wide variety of dishes that satisfies our family. Food is always cooked to perfection and tastes great. They offer quality live music on a regular basis. Great food, great fun. Thanks! read more

Ate there tonite not awful but not great. Had their special Angelhair with meat sauce and not good meatballs, no prices on the specials , I was surprised that it cost 22$, my wife had the crabcake decent but cold. The guitar player was very good, the ambience was ok and the service pretty good. I'm sure this was the best place to eat for 5 miles because its the only restaurant for 5 miles. I guess I'll try it again but wouldn't drive the 25 miles for the food read more

Fresh ingredients. Family owned and operated. Extensive homestyle menu from meatloaf to filet mignon, plus off-menu specials daily so there's always something new to try. Usually I can only eat 1/2 an entree, and take the rest home for later. Live music nights can be packed, especially when the bland plays outdoors and food service extends to the patio, so come early to get your order in, be patient, relax, and enjoy. read more

This was quite a find traveling between Boerne and San Antonio. Decided to stop for lunch on a whim...WOW! We were NOT DISAPPOINTED. Great food, awesome hospitality and a waitress that couldn't have been more attentive to our every request. We both left wondering why we hadn't heard of O'Brien's before. Can't wait to go back and try other menu items read more

Doubtful,we'll eat here again. Food isn't like it once was, service is hit or miss, not worth the price.

I highly recommend this place! The fried shrimp is my favorite meal but I also love the specials or the burgers. Service is great and the desserts are to die for! Seriously give this wonderful resteraunt a try. You'll be glad you did! read more

Stopped for lunch on a Saturday. Hardly anyone there and just 2 wait staff. Really terrible service. Server named Cole should just be seating customers, not "serving " them. No management around to notice or remedy. read more

First timers and absolutely worth the trip and money. Steak was awesome and had great flavor. The service was great and our waitress, Holly, was the beat. Matter of fact she has been the beat waitress we have had from a restaurant in a very long time! read more

We were in town for the weekend of 11/10. Stopped in on 11/11 for a late lunch. Stood at the door for at least 5 minutes and no one ever greeted us. Looked around in the bar and the dining area and could not find anyone to seat us. Won't return ever. read more

O'Brians is right next to my house, yet I never go there, here is why: -there is ALWAYS an excruciatingly long wait - it is too expensive - the food is not worth waiting for the only thing this place is good for is for is get togethers. I went to my grandmas retirement party there once and it wasn't completely awful, but that doesn't make up for it's bad qualities. I would suggest finding another place to eat. read more

Had a great chicken salad sandwich and tortilla soup, however the "fresh cut" fries were pretty dry and bland. For having been lunch time and ordering off the lunch menu, it was pretty expensive, two meals with iced tea came out to $41. Not a lot of wiggle room at that price. read more

We live nearby so keep trying to come here for convenience. Tonight was the last time. Only one wait staff in the dining room Took 20 min to get one glass of wine. Fried chicken special was $17. Overdone chicken and mashed potatoes, not even salad. The poor waitress was almost in tears trying to make the customers happy while the owners sat in the bar just letting it happen. Not the way to run a business. Over priced and under staffed. read more

This is the best Restaurant in Bergheim. Alright, it appears to be the only one as well. We stayed at the Serengeti Resort and their kitchen was closed due to a wedding so went thought we would try this place out. Glad we did. We had a cute young waiter who gave us super great service. I started out with a pumpkin pie martini with homemade whip cream. It was delicious and would make a great dessert. We each had a steak, one rib eye and one fillet. Both were good and came with one side so we had the twice baked potatoes also good and had a little bite with horse radish. We also each order a side salad and this is why I knocked a star off. The side salads were $5.99 each. This was a small salad w/greens, a couple tomatoes and cucumber slices and a couple small pieces of onion. I guess being the only place in town allows you to charge whatever you like for things. That being said if I was in the area again I would go back. A charming place with great service and good food, although a little on the pricey side. read more

O'Brien's Restaurant - pumkin pie martini - American Near Me - Bergheim, Texas

My friends and I came here for lunch. There was no one in the front, so we thought we would seat ourselves.. We got barked at by an old crabby lady who said we needed to wait to be Seated, so back to the front we went.. Then she waves at us to 'choose' a spot about 5 minutes later.. . Then, we literally waited over 10 minutes without anyone coming to our table for even water. No acknowledgement, as well, when we left to go somewhere else with better service. Very UNDER staffed. Disappointed, definitely won't return for lunch. Especially since we drove the long haul from Bulverde because it was highly recommended. read more

My friend and I shared a wedge salad and German Chicken and Dumplings both were excellent and filling so passed on desert. Don't go there if you're in a rush since service is leisurely. Portions were good size. We'll definitely go back when we are driving through the area. read more

Really nice service and atmosphere. As far as the food, half showed promise, the rest was marginal, we may be back in a few years to try something different. read more

Waited for drinks, waited for silverware (that NEVER came, I took it off another table!), food was served cold, appetizer was served with main course.... Amazingly BAD experience. Had to track the waitress down multiple times.... Food was good, but thinking she should reconsider her job choice! After 15 minutes of waiting for the check, we walked up to the front to pay.... read more

Have been there twice and have always been pleased. Will continue to return. Leave room for dessert. Try the brownies with ice cream.

beef chicken fried steak.... twice baked potato and house salad .... delicious... icing on the cake was when they brought the bread... four star because my friend complained that his steak didn't have enough meat but too much breading read more

The only restaurant in Bergheim, TX (equidistant from both Boerne and Spring Branch.) Fortunately, just because it is the only game in town does not mean it rests on its laurels. Amazing Texas Wedge salad with an excellent Pablano Ranch dressing that offers a slight spice. "The Texan" Is an absolute must try and recommended to be split between a couple. The Texan consists of a 16-oz t-bone grilled to your liking (medium-rare is the way to go) topped with an excellent, but not overpowering, jalapeno and mushroom glaze. The fopping for this great combination is 2 perfectly grilled quail. Great outdoor dining that takes advantage of the moderate temperatures of the Texas Hill Country. Be aware, the bar does allow cigarette smoking, but no cigar smoking. read more

Food is fantastic!! Getting the good is the hard part. Twice I've had the same waiter older guy retired navy, is very forgetful! Also ordered our food and 45 mins later he comes back to tell us there is no more quail.... WTH?? So if you go to the Resturant make sure you don't get that guy!! read more

I got the timbo chicken sandwic.not very impressed,chicken breast between toasted bread,pretty lame.my mom got fish and chips.came out burnt,"why anyone would serve that is beyond me"but this douchbag did serve it. read more

We recently moved to the Fair Oaks Ranch area and have been looking for a good restaurant nearby where we could go for dinner at a reasonable price. We chose Valentine's Day to try out O'Briens because it had received pretty favorable ratings from others. We made our reservation at least 3 weeks prior. Let's start with the positives. I ordered meatloaf and twice baked potatoes. The potatoes were quite good; the meatloaf was just so-so. My wife ordered the lobster thermidor. She graded it as "very good". Our server was also very attentive. Now the bad -- on an evening when we had reservations at 6:00 and showed up a few minutes early, the first attempt to seat us was put on hold -- we literally stood behind the staff member at the entrance to the dining area because a couple was already at the table reserved for us. As we looked around the dining area, there were at least 7-8 other tables unoccupied. We wondered if they expected a deluge of diners having reservations within the next few minutes. As it was, we were asked to wait for "10-15 minutes" because of the other couple occupying our table -- (never have been to a restaurant where individual tables were assigned to specific reservations). The wait exceeded the estimated time by about another 10 minutes. Meanwhile, other 2-person parties came through the door and were seated. We were trying to figure out what we had done wrong to be forced to wait. During the wait, we were offered nothing (e.g., a drink?). When we were seated, no one said anything about the wait. No offer to give us a discount or a free drink or maybe a meaningful apology. Were this not Valentine's Day, we would have left since we were given no reason for this delay. By the way, while we dined, most of the empty tables remained empty for that entire time. Maybe they were expecting the SA Spurs to show up?? Knowing what we now know, it's hard to come up with any reason why we would return to this particular restaurant. We still don't know why we were treated this way. read more

Missing meat? I heard this was a great place so was pleased to go with some friends this week. The other meals were good even if a couple were a bit pricey. Mine was the Chicken and Dumplings. Two good sized dumplings in a bowl with gravy and shredded chicken. I couldn't find much chicken, an ounce at most. Not one piece large enough to put a fork tine through. A real disappointment. read more

I've been to O'Brien's three times now and the food never fails. Their mac and cheese is the best! Service is good and prices are fair.

Great Experience.... Food and drinks, fun place to hang out with Friends and family. I do recommend this place and worth driving from San Antonio to Berghiem TX to get away from the city. I'll give this place a 5 star and 2 thumbs up.... read more

Wow. Visited O'Brien's last night with a party of 8 for dinner. We had made a reservation since it was Friday night. They put us in a back room, which was not a problem. What definitely WAS a problem was that we did not see any food for TWO HOURS after we ordered our meals!! Even worse was that, when I sought out the owner/manager (and it was apparently the owner with whom I spoke), he was utterly unapologetic, to the point of being surly. "We told people we were backed up when they came in", he said. (Which they had not.) "Look at all those tickets", he said, pointing at the kitchen. I asked him, "So this is acceptable to you? Customers waiting two hours for their food?" "No," he said--but did not apologize, offer an appetizer--nothing. Just glared at me. That was the first and absolutely the very last time I will set foot in that place. read more

Food was good- service is inconsistent. Waited an hour for food. Poor waiter tried so hard and did a good job under circumstances. We have been there two other times and everything was fine. That was over a year ago however. read more

Crab cakes:2 tiny cakes with wilted leaf of lettuce for $12. Very greasy. Meat loaf:dry, hard, chewy. Sauce taste like cheap spaghetti sauce straight out of the jar. Lots of preservatives. Overpriced poor quality food. I doubt that the beef they use is really angus beef. Will not go back again. read more

We love O'Brien's, we eat there as often as possible! My dad is very picky when it comes to steaks and he is always very pleased with his meals here. read more

The food is fantastic, however the service left a LOT to be desired. Slow to take our order, had to ask for refills on drinks, and waited 15 minutes for my bill to be returned after I had given my card. Used to love coming here, but we'll likely never return. read more

My wife and I have been customers for the last 9 years. This review is not about one particular experience but rather why we have been loyal customers over this period. We love the fact that everything is from scratch, from the salad dressings to the desserts. The vegetables are always fresh and the entrees are creatively and expertly prepared. In addition to the main menu, there is a special daily menu which gives you additional choices for salads, soups, pastas, seafood and other items. Absolutely the best steaks and the most creative desserts in the hill country. If you want fresh, quality food at a fair price you will love this chef owned/family run restaurant. read more
