    So excited to have O'Briens back in Ada! They truly transformed the red school house into such a cool spot. It's conveniently located next to the playground and in the heart of all of the shops. We sat out back on the deck where they have large TVs and plenty of shade. Parking was simple and free as well. They are still new and this was our servers 2nd day, so we couldn't complain about anything on her end. She was very friendly but there was some confusion when she took our drink order before another girl came over to do the same. We started with the cheese curds and they were great. They gave us the option of so many sauces which was fun to try. The food came so fast that none of us could even believe it was ready. We heard other tables around us also mention how quick the service was as well. I wish the wrap came with a side of ranch since it was pretty spicy with the jalapeños but I could have easily asked for that. My wife loved her salad and my daughter enjoyed the grilled cheese with fries. Overall, the portions are massive, just like their other location. The prices reflect this though and are definitely on the higher side, but the quality and portion size make up for it. We loved that you can still go inside to get candy and ice cream!

    California Club!!

    Love, love, love your new location. Our first visit was during beer on the bridge so the deck was just perfect. The California Club was so fantastic! The coleslaw had so much tasty flavor!! I love that they have so many gluten free options are great. We chatters with the owner who said he had a relative with Celiac and crisis so they are very mindful. Yay!! My husband has the East Paris had good flavor! He said he is looking forward to coming back! The Zinfandel on the menu, so good. Great pours. Welcome back to Ada!

    Tried the one in Ada and it was disappointing. Too much sauce, not enough flavor, toppings weren't cooked.

    I saw Jayson D's review of this place and it looked so good that I went the very same day. I love a…read moregood deli, so I'm happy I got the inspiration to stop in. When I walked in, the place was packed. It's a small space, and it was bustling around 1 pm. I was noticed by a kind employee who let me sit at a cozy booth. The menu is huge and includes tons of sandwiches, burgers, wraps, and salads. It was tough to choose but I went with the Irish reuben (grilled pastrami, corned beef, bacon, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, thousand island on marble rye). Sandwiches come with chips, or you can upgrade to fries (regular, sweet potato, or Southwestern dipping fries) - I went with the Southwestern dipping fries, which are seasoned potato wedges. My food came out quickly and I was amazed at the large portions. It was a full basket of fries and a sandwich that would equal two full sandwiches elsewhere. The sandwich was super hot and delicious and packed with meat. I think it's one of the tastiest reubens I've had in awhile. The fries were good, but I think I prefer regular fries. Glad I got to try them, though. They have a daily special where a specific item is discounted, which makes it an affordable option for lunch. I was there on a Tuesday so the special was a spicy fried chicken sandwich or wrap for $12 served with chips or fries. That's a great deal! I will definitely be back for one of their specials. The employees I interacted with were all very friendly and kind and working really hard. I always appreciate good customer service and I found that here. Finally, they serve beer and wine, so if you want a drink with lunch, that is an option as well. The only downside is the small dining area, so I wouldn't say it's great for large groups, and they are only open Monday through Friday for lunch. Luckily I have a flexible schedule, so I'll be back for lunch again soon!

Spacious parking outside. I tried their hot pastrami sammy. The pastrami was sliced against the grain to make it easy to bite, and it tasted perfectly pastrami-y--that signature smoky briny taste, but it wasn't too salty. The portion was enormous! Half an O'brien's sammy would have been the full order anywhere else. There's even a little buddy-sized sink and a tiny toilet in the men's bathroom! Popular with locals and it's easy to see why.

    A really attractive space in downtown Ada. I stopped in for lunch today and decided to try the…read moreDeviled Eggs and the Tavern Smash Burger. I had heard that this place had good food, but because the price point was a bit higher than average, I wanted to try it for myself before bringing my family. The service was attentive and friendly. The food, however, did not meet expectations. I found the deviled eggs to be overcooked and a bit rubbery while simultaneously lacking flavor. The presentation was nice but I care more about the taste than how it looks. The Tavern Smash Burger does not seem to know what it wants to be. The patties were thicker than a traditional smash burger, lacking the juiciness of a regular burger while also missing the caramelization of your typical smash patty. The accompanying "Chef's Sauce" for the burger was not particularly flavorful and there was not enough acidic content to counter the fattiness of the burger. The bacon that topped the burger was cubed pieces that were chewy and frankly off-putting, and I found myself wishing for crispy bacon strips instead. All in all, I really wanted to love this place, but I just don't. The food wasn't terrible, but also nowhere near good enough to justify the cost or make me want to stop back in.

    the ambiance is fine - not too loud in there - and despite being called a tavern it feels like a…read morenicer sit down restaurant our server didn't seem too attentive though / slow in bringing out silverware and also not that friendly lemon pepper chicken: the pepper was in the salt shaker btw (which usually should have one hole) - i tried to put pepper on my lemon chicken and ended up putting salt. but honestly, neither salt or pepper would have salvaged this terrible dish. the chicken was tender but the flavor was awful. no hint of lemon or pepper anywhere. what is this weird cornstarch-y sweet sauce? and why is it that all the veggies are overcooked?!! just mush :((( but again the sauce.. was really awful in this and i didn't want to eat but i also didn't want to go hungry so reluctantly ate it. butternut squash soup: the squash soup was alright / just very ginger-y and a bit on the sweeter side for my taste. spicy pineapple n/a drink: the drink felt a bit watered down. i don't feel the need to go back here again. oh and the food came out pretty slow!

Even after…read moresending it back, it was still inedible--which was surprising given how simple the order was: scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes, and pancakes. The pancakes were cold, as if they had come straight out of the refrigerator. The potatoes were soggy and cold and tasted like nothing but oil- no seasoning at all. The sausage was so dry that even drinking water didn't help and you could hardly cut through it with a fork. The eggs were initially runny on the inside and dry on the outside, which raised enough food-safety concerns that my wife sent them back. When the replacement arrived, the eggs were completely overcooked and dry and rubbery. She didn't finish her meal, and the waitress never seemed to notice that anything was wrong. Overall, while my meal was fine, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for quality food.

With their decor, their Slayer espresso machine and delicious food (and drinks!) We stopped in on a work trip and needed someplace close by. Our server was dealing with a broken soda machine, half the menu not being available because the salmon was still curing as well as the steak or something? But, she was gracious and calm! I ordered the: * SMORGASBORD (grilled salmon, mixed greens, arugula, pickled beets, radish, whipped goat cheese, flax bread, herb vinaigrette) - supposed to be grilled salmon but they were out as mentioned so did grilled chicken. * POTATO WEDGES (salt and vinegar potato wedges, truffle aioli, scallion) - not very salt & vinegar-y but the wedges were cooked to perfection!

Other staples for me: matcha latte, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, curry chicken salad, and kale salad. I just realized the kale salad is meant to be 3-4 servings which explains why it's so large!
