    I could be 50 Guinnesses deep and pour a better beer than this, 0/10. Horrible experience horrible service

    Ranchhand Burger
    Randy M.

    Visiting Norman for the first time in a decade. I went to college here in the 90's and moved away in 2005. Decided to go to all the old haunts while I was in town. The location has changed but the food is still just as good. It's pub food so set your expectations, but as far as pub food you won't find better. I asked the bartender Matt for local beer recommendations and ordered the F5 IPA which was very tasty. It took some time to decide on lunch but I stuck with the classic Ranch Hand. It was just as I remember. Just a great burger. It was a summer Saturday so the vibe was chill, though it gets busier as kids come back to campus. If you have a chance and are in Norman swing by and have some drinks and food. I spent more time in O'Connells than any other place that's still around, and this trip didn't disappoint.

    Homemade food..onion rings, pulled pork, queso, fish & chips to name a few are all made in house. Coldest beer in town. In historic Campus Corner & across the street from OU! What more could one ask for?

    Was at the OU campus listening to a friend practice for the Pride of Oklahoma Alumni band and afterwards we were both really hungry. He recommended we grab something to eat at O'Connells Irish Pub & Grille. I wound up getting the crispy chicken sandwich and that has got to be the best crispy chicken sandwich I've ever eaten. It had great breading, was crispy and came out hot. I devoured that sandwich in a hurry and even got to enjoy participating in some music bingo while doing so. This place is awesome and can't wait to come back to try some more stuff.

    Been coming here for years! The food is always solid especially for pub food, highly recommend checking this place out on Wednesday night! They have a burger night special for $5 burgers! For an appetizer I recommend the sweet n spicy wings, probably the best kept secret for wings in Oklahoma

    This place has really great burgers, their onion rings are fine (i prefer beer-battered), and their beers ard always great! My friend loves their fried pickles too! The waitresses are nice, and it's just a casual, iconic Norman spot!

    Bad Server

    In the past personally I have had no qualms with oconns love I got a pint of Guinness from time to time however tonight me and my friends we came we sat in a table and our server just ignored us for like 30 to 40 minutes and I don't feel like it was professional or I had to go through other servers just to get her attention and even that didn't work I had to go up to her personally and ask her why she isn't serving us for her just to tell us to order at the bar completely unprofessional you should hire a better staff. Like if I wanted to order from the bar I would of sat at bar. She was legit taking order for people that just sat down in front of us and completely ignored our table. Like I'm Irish I love Irish spots but seriously.

We were able to get one of the last tables on the patio. Had a great time. Enjoyed the vibe and the food. Ate to much with the appetizers and our mains. We ordered chips and queso, fried cheese curds and potato skins. All three appetizers were good but without the wow factor. Just good solid offerings.

Jan ordered the french dip and said it was very good. Kris ordered the club with fries and said it was OK. Loved the patio setting and experience. The service was average.

I did venture inside. Nature called. The stained glass, entry to the bar, and seating inside was exquisite.

    I debated between a four- and five-star rating, but overall this was still a five-star experience…read more This was my second visit, and I returned because I remembered having the best steak I'd ever eaten here. While this steak wasn't quite as impressive, it was a bit tougher than I'd hoped, the flavor was still phenomenal, with a great smoky, straight-off-the-grill taste. Our server, Gracie, was fantastic: friendly, helpful, and accommodating to our large party. We ordered several appetizers and enjoyed most of them, though the cornbread was noticeably dry according to several people at the table. The coconut pineapple margarita was a standout and well worth ordering. The tropical flavors were delicious, and the coconut rim was a great touch. I also loved my salad, especially the tomatoes, which were surprisingly flavorful. For my entrée, the steak was cooked well and paired nicely with the mashed potatoes. Although the texture kept it from matching my first visit, it was still very enjoyable. One thing we really enjoyed was the atmosphere. We were seated in a room toward the back near the wine cellar, adjacent to a pond outside. It ended up being a great spot because we could watch people enjoying the outdoor area throughout the evening. The restaurant struck a nice balance, it felt upscale and welcoming without being overly quiet. Our group was able to be a little loud and goofy without feeling out of place, which made the experience even more fun. What ultimately secured the five-star rating was dessert. I can't remember its name, but it's pictured in the photo. It was enormous and absolutely incredible, one of the best desserts I've ever had and the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. The steak wasn't quite as tender as I remembered, but the excellent service, great drinks, solid appetizers, enjoyable atmosphere, and outstanding dessert made for a wonderful experience.

    I decided to treat myself today and ordered the Wagyu steak, expecting it to be something special…read more Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. Another person in my group also ordered the Wagyu steak, and we both felt the same way--it was not good at all. For a $51 steak, I expected excellent quality, but instead it tasted like something you could buy at a dollar store. I ended up leaving hungry because I couldn't bring myself to eat it. I do want to recognize the staff. Our server was a very polite young man who provided excellent service, and the hostess was welcoming and hospitable. In the end, my bill was around $60 because I decided to splurge on myself today. It's disappointing to spend that much money only to end up wasting it on a steak I couldn't eat. I truly hope the restaurant takes another look at the quality of its Wagyu steak because it did not live up to its price.
