Visiting my son in Eureka last Sunday. Arrived at O'Dells around 6:30 and no waiting for a table. Only 3 to 4 other customers in the place. Our party was 6 adults 2 children. Still dont understand why we ordered our meal at 7:10 and didn't get our food until almost 8:45. We did get our apps around 7 or so, but waited over an hour in an empty place for our meal. The food was good, portions were enough for all. Just reall y long wait time. Last thing, probably wont matter to most. But the beer was extremely cold, this is the norm for most, but not for Guinness. It was not on the menu, but happy the waitress knew what a "Black and Tan" was.. WIll return with the hopes that the long wait time was a one off. I gave them only three stars at the start of this review, and then remembered how REALLY GOOD the soda bread was.. read more

I've noticed some pretty spotty reviews for this place but we've had a great experience each time. The atmosphere is pretty cozy--the place is small and they have a nice fireplace as the focal point of the dining room. Their beer selection is great, and the food was really good. We both got the sourdough burger the first time we went in and haven't tried anything else since. The burger is always cooked perfectly and really juicy...the sourdough bread is just toasted enough (it doesn't shatter into crumbs when you bite into it)...the sauteed onions and frisco-type sauce are pretty standard but totally delicious...and the melty swiss is gooey and awesome. I've had this with both fries and sauteed veggies. They have big, steak cut fries that have always been hot, fresh and crispy when I've had them. It's hard not to order those every time but I sometimes go for the sauteed veggies, which are less punishing. They give you a gigantic portion of veggies, and it's a pretty good variety--carrots, green beans, zucchini/squash and bell peppers, if I remember correctly. For all I know this may be the ONLY thing on the menu that doesn't suck, since I've never tried anything else. But I like variety, and I always want to sample a menu, so for something to be so good that I stick with it is pretty impressive. We haven't been here in a while so I'd like to go back and see if it's still as good as I remember read more

I ordered a Eureka burger but the waitress insisted I order a Odell burger. I didn't want to argue an just asked the order be canceled. While my Mom was trying to enjoy her food another waitress asked me if she was done? Hello, my Mother can answer for herself. Then she brings a to go box and a bill. I was still trying to drink my drink when our waitress comes up and wants to know " if she can help us?" I then asked why we were being pushed out? She ran away. I went to Sarah's. Much better service and food. I wouldn't recommend Odell's. read more

The burger and salmon were very good. Not a great place for kids, but I had a great first experience. Will be back.

We went there for dinner last night because they are finally open for full service under our state laws. Unfortunately things did not go very well from the time we walked in the door. The diet Pepsi was fully low had absolutely no taste. I asked if she could get another one and she did but I guess maybe they were too low on the tank because there was no flavor of fizz to it. We placed our order for Reubens and we waited, and we waited, and we waited. I inquired about the status of our order because everyone around us and receive their food even those who came in after us. She just said that the kitchen was not operating very efficiently. Somehow it was operating efficiently enough for everyone else to get their food. After waiting 45 to 50 minutes of no food and the waitress refusing to check on our order we decided to leave. We used to go there all the time pre-Covid.I don't plan to go back for a while! read more

Absolutely lovely place great bar tender. Heather was an absolute delight. Most definitely will be coming back. Everyone should come out here. read more

Cute and cozy atmosphere. Has an awesome inside fireplace. Their cocktails are great and their jacked up chicken strips are my favorite! Such a fun place! read more

Great service, good food and broad selection of liquor and beer. Up for a pint? Great place to make a regular stop!

Great food and service. Owners are great people. Stop by and get to know them and tell them I sent you! The traditional Irish food is great! The Rueben I loved! Generous wine popes. Great bloody Mary's. We had a Birthday party there once also. The catering menu is fabulous. They treated us like gold! read more

Really good burgers and wings and homemade chips probably try something else next time I go in there probably going to try the Irish bangers and mash read more

First time coming here, it was very clean and the service was excellent. Food was outstanding, would definitely recommend. We will be back again soon. read more

Great food and atmosphere. There was live music which made it even harder to hear, but expected in a bar environment. Husband had the Eureka burger and the flavors were excellent. I had the corned beef and cabbage and it was fantastic! Good selection on beers too. It was crowded when we went but there was a local event going on at the time. Good place! read more

My husband and I were traveling through with kids and teenagers. The food was excellent. All the picky eaters in the group were happy with their dishes. Great atmosphere. Clean. Prices were reasonable. My only suggestion would be for the waitress to be more familiar with the food. She couldn't answer questions because she didn't have enough direct experience with the food: hadn't tried the dishes herself. Still, compliments to the chef. It was great! read more

My favorite burger joint in St. Louis. The Odell burger....amazing. Cooked and seasoned correctly on the grill, aged swiss, sauer kraut, corned beef, topped with their house made green aioli. My only gripe is that they removed the trashed wings from the menu, which were the best ive ever had. Keep up the delicious work O'Dells Eureka. read more

I would give them less if I could. So I am in town and this place was recommended for lunch. We come in and looks good, they say have a seat anywhere so we go towards the back to a table big enough for three guys. Server says that is reserved for four or more. I look around nobody waiting and only other table is a booth. Then they tell me they think they will get busy so we can't sit there. It is 12:45 in afternoon think lunch rush is over. They could/would not seat us. We left, never to return. Don't bother they don't understand customer service. Craziest thing I have ever had happen. read more

Awful service and inconsistent food. My family and I recently had a very negative experience here. When I reached out to the owner for an apology, he couldn't even swallow his pride and offer one. If you want to wait 45 minutes for cold food, you should definitely stop by read more

I hope making this as a list is a little easier to follow. 1.) Found this business using YELP! app. Figured good reviews must mean a credible and delicious experience after spending the entire day at Six Flags. 2.) Walked in to NO greeting or instructions to sit where we wanted or to wait for someone to seat us. 3.) Sat down. The entire restaurant was freezing cold. Seriously by the end of my meal I couldn't feel my fingers. 4.) This was our first time here so we needed an extra minute to order to make sure we tried something amazing. I ended up going with the suggestion of our waiter and tried the "Eureka Burger" (no onions / boooo allergies!) 5.) We waited. 6.) Waited some more. 7.) Waited an entire 54 damn minutes for food! The place wasn't packed. We told them near 45 minutes that we wanted to cancel our order, but that wasn't allowed as we were begged by another waitress/bartender to let her check one more time. Mind you we then see her behind the bar and not checking for our food. 8.) For details on my husbands meal, which was potatoes and sausage, see his review. 9.) A burger. One that took 50+ minutes to make was luke warm at best and their "homemade chips" we're mostly soaked in oil still. 10.) Getting ready to pay, because really after that experience and expressing our frustrations they actually handed us a bill, and the waiter turned a bit creepy and lingered around the table. Telling us that the cooking manager had just gotten there and saved the poor staff that was already back there. Then we asked if the manager was the loser-looking kid with long hair running around drinking coffee from a glass and acting like he was hot shit. Then we were advised that it was actually the owner's son who was "basically useless". 11.) More creepy waiter. 12.) Waiter comes to pick up the bill and drops a fork from my husbands salad, smothered in ranch still, right on him. He got an awkward apology that didn't solve a thing. (I was actually going to give them 2 stars before that!) Oh, and it was great seeing the other table, of at least 12, who came in 30 minutes behind us, get their food within 5 minutes of us. Must be nice. I also forgot that as soon as we got our meal, magically at 7:30pm they dimmed the already dark lighting. Nah, I didn't need to see my meal or anything. Needless to say, we won't be back. We are now season pass holders for Six Flags and are excited to give money to other, more deserving, places in Eureka. ** UPDATE: Someone from this business took it upon themselves to attack me via Facebook for posting my HONEST review. I sincerely apologize for my misspelling of "waiter" to "water" as I was reviewing via mobile app as my husband drove us home. Additionally, as to my other reviews, I apologize that you are so concerned with my other reviews. Yes, I primarily leave negative ones as positive ones are commonly relayed to the corporate offices for that business. If you'd like, I'd be more than happy to provide you with those records. I do wish your business the best of luck. I can assure you though, we will never be back again. Nor will we ever recommend your business to anyone we come in contact with. Unfortunate you handled it that way, instead of just offering apologies for the experience and all parties could have just moved on. Good day to you!** read more

I was not going to write a review, however after what I've just read, it's necessary. First; the facts: - 54 minutes from seating to food (took about 5 minutes to decide what we wanted) -Service staff was AWESOME at first; we felt welcome -This, however went downhill has the 45+ minute wait wore on; it became awkward. -Bangers and Mash - I didn't like it here; others may -- I didn't. -Drinks started taking longer and longer to refill; the staff lost attention on our table, and it was noticed. -Attempted to leave, but was begged to let it be checked on "one more time". Not being rude people, we obliged, ate the food and paid for the pleasure. I won't detail being smeared with ranch dressing as plates were cleared; accidents happen. I will, however, enshrine, here and now, my negative feelings towards the response received by this business after the initial review. 1 - This business attacks customers via social media in response to poor reviews. Bad form on the part of whomever penned the response. From my perspective, your treatment of a dissatisfied client, from the table to the internet speaks volumes about the culture of the establishment that is seeking the hard earned dollars of the public. 2 - If you are proud of being open on labor day, near a regional attraction (Six Flags) on a HOT day (Hurricane Harbor operated at capacity all day) during two major events (Labor day and the season pass flash sale), and would like to use that as your excuse for slow service, you ought to reconsider your choices in either open days or staffing levels. 3 - Labor Day hours are still not an excuse for anything other than slow service. I will end this review here; your response to the first review has cemented the decision to NEVER return to your establishment and I am not inclined to provide any consultancy to you by suggesting customer relations/satisfaction tactics that work. Best regards, read more

We had to hold our breath on the way in to avoid the cloud of smoke from smokers standing right at the door. Then, to have a waitress look you right in the eye as you wait for a table then just walk away is reprehensible. I'll NEVER set foot in this place again. read more

I recently 'dined' here with a few friends. (6-25-15) First, the good! Decent beer selection and awesome atmosphere. This is a very small cozy place but the decor is cool and the bar is the focal point of the joint. This being my first time here and I was the first to arrive I asked if I could sit at one of their tables across from the bar, they all have signs on them that read "parties of 5 or more". No problem, right? Wrong. I got the laser beam-death ray eyes from the waitress who seems quite annoyed, even though I assured here that I had friends coming to join me. She reluctantly sat me and asked if I would like a drink, I ordered their Modern Brew Lou-something, it was great! It arrived quickly and I asked to see a menu. As the menu was delivered my friends began to trickle in and sat next to me, each was quickly greeted by our server and each had a beer in front of him/her within a minute of sitting down. This was very impressive, perhaps a night of great service was to follow! Now the bad. Sorry, getting beers quickly is about the only good point of the service that I can say happened. We sat with our beers and menus for about 45-50 minutes, our server was nowhere to be found- and granted- we wanted to chat and catch up, but we were also very hungry. Once the 50 minute mark hit, we saw our server, I waved and was ignored. It was at that point I kindly asked for the check and we all left. Their menu looked awesome and we were all looking forward to trying their food but alas, we will never know. Might be a while before I give this place another shot. One of my friend's who was with us told me that the staff there doesn't change often, which is usually a good thing. I am thinking, however, that in this case it may be time to hire new servers. read more

Pretty decent. They have good service, and everything really sticks to the Irish Pub theme. I liked the fried pickles a lot. They are the spears, and are probably some of the better fried pickles I have ever had. Not really a fan of the Shamrock sauce that it comes with. It was like pastel green looking. Sorta of weird, it made me think I was dipping it into something minty. I just got a side of ranch to dip them into. I ordered the turkey club with fries for my meal. Turkey club was okay, nothing to go crazy about. And the fries we're average. They did play really good music though, which I loved. I would come back here again to try other things on the menu, but it's not at the top of my list. read more

Have this place a second shot. Service was better, but not great. We were sat in the back by the bathrooms and there was stuff piled all around us. Servers purses, silverware. Clothes. It was gross. Then the food took forever. I think we are done with this little hole in the wall. read more

Service is super slow. Recently we went with four people. We had to track a person down to get a drink. They never offered us a menu although we wanted to eat. The waiter never came back to ask us for more drinks and we had to track him down again to pay. They were also out of Jameson which seems odd for an Irish bar. I've been there three times and never had a good service experience. read more

Their food is good and drinks are cold :-) I've never been overly impressed by their waiting staff, but it is a pub, after all. Recommend their fish and chips or French dip sandwich. I went there with a party of 10, and everyone raved about their food afterwards. The place is always clean, including bathrooms. I love that they have expanded their seating area as well. It used to be a little cramped. read more

We're visitors from Ohio. I can sum up this place in one word...mediocre​. The food is nothing to write home about. The only reason I gave it 3 stars the waitress was great although she forgot my fries. Evidently,​ they don't serve celery​ with chicken wings and blue cheese dressing. Which where I come from is as common as salt and pepper shakers on the table. read more

Nice pub. I am not a beer drinker, but I think they are known for having an exceptional list of offerings. Not a place for a craft cocktail. The chicken wings and the potato skins are good - standard pub food. Good service. read more

Never the same staff, new employees monthly. Makes you wonder why no one stays long. Beautiful decor and atmosphere.

BEST WINGS EVER!!! Cold beer. Friendly staff. Cozy decor that feels like it's a casual down town bar. LOVE it!

One of the most painful dining experiences I have had in a long time. About and hour to get a couple of burgers. That were wrong by the way. Ordered a couple of burgers to go with our two to eat in. To go burgers came out ten minutes before our dine in. Had to hunt for ketchup and salt. Must be like 3 in the place. Asked waitress for it but she went off cleaning tables so went and got our own. My burger was wrong but I wasnt about to wait another hour for another one. Fries were not cooked all the way. Watched one table of six get there food over five trips in a 30 minute period....I have more but they arent worth the time...won't be back...... read more

Such a shame that in Eureka we already have such few restaurants to choose from. I have enjoyed eating at O'Dells in the past, but I ordered take out from there this evening and was informed that I would be charged a 3.5% convenience charge to pay with a debit card. On top of that, I ordered a small side salad that I was charged $5 for. When I got it home it was the smallest container of lettuce, 2 half slices of red onion, 2 cherry tomatoes, and two refrigerator burnt cucumbers. It was TINY, and not a shred of cheese on it. Not much value for $5. Also got charged an EXTRA $1 for cheese on my sandwich and another EXTRA $1 for buffalo sauce on my sandwich. As for the 3.5% "convenience" charge, that is just ridiculous. I own a business as well and understand that accepting credit cards is simply the cost of doing business. Not to mention, I don't think they pay anywhere near 3.5%. I'd rather drive to Fenton where I can have more choices and not pay an extra fee just to use my card. Unfortunate, but I won't be back. read more

Beer selection was GREAT! I didn't eat but my buddy did. He ordered beer cheese soup and asked for bread, they didn't have bread with soups but brought him out some anyway since they were making croutons. I tasted the soup, tasted like potato soup with extra cheese added in. Not amazing by any means. read more

Much better the last few times! Kyle is great, I would come back anytime he is our server. He is so nice and friendly. Try the snakebite drink (Guiness with a shot of cider beer thrown in), excellent drink even if you hate Guiness! read more

Had lunch here. Must say that I was very impressed. The food was very good quality Irish fare. The pricing of selections was also right in line with the quality of the food. Very clean dining area and the service was exception. Definitely recommend. read more

Absolutely remarkable beer list. Food was great. Cozy dining area. Had the spinach artichoke dip with warm pita, very good. Washed it down with a delirium tremens, which I can't find anywhere else in the area. read more

We were in town for a Twomey family reunion, so of course we had to search out the only Irish pub in the area for dinner. And we really enjoyed our experience at O'Dell's Irish Pub and Ale House. The staff was friendly and efficient, the drinks were cold, and the food was very good. read more

They have the best clam chowder...great beer selection and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Stopped in for dinner after a long day at Great America. Cute Irish pub, nice decor and ambience. Waitress was friendly and attentive and food was delicious! Pretzels bites with cheese were a great appetizer. My husband raved about fish sandwich and the burger was very good. My favorite was the homemade chips. Overall a great dining experience! read more

This is a great place for people who want a nice environment to drink and relax. People are friendly and the drinks are great.I would recommend this place to anyone from out of town like myself! read more

Went here with some friends and while the food was good they said they closed at 10 when it said they were open late online? We felt terrible for coming so close to close since it said they were open later. Love the pretzel bites and can definitely see myself going back but won't go too out of my way. read more

This restaurant is awful. The service is really slow. They take forever just to get your order wrong. It seems like they're always understaffed. This lady with gray hair was very rude when I tried to get some help. It's amazing this play stays open with the way they treat people. read more
