If I could give 3.5 stars I would. Went on a very busy Saturday night. Service was good and wait staff was responsive. Started with some apps. Good wings and steamed shrimp were good as well. But the main course fell short - cake sandwich was lame. Crab tasted kind of weird and it was on the smaller side. We also had a tuna wrap which was bland. Could have used some aoili or something (anything) to dip it in. I'll probably be back but might just have to stick to apps. read more

I've been going to this local spot since it was located at the end of Shore Acres road. I used to ride my bike there as a kid to grab an order of their famous buffalo wings to bring back for my younger brother and I. Needless to say this place has a special place in my heart forever and I encourage anyone within driving distance to stop by and fall in love yourself. The buffalo wings are legendary! I repeat...the buffalo wing are legendary!!! When you are here if you do not get an order, you are doing yourself a serious injustice. I also recommend the beef on weck, fried shrimp, and pretty much anything they serve on St. Patty's Day....that includes the bar. :) read more

Just tried the new house signature drink "Spicy Margarita" with spicy salt. You'll be hooked. Another one please. read more

O'Loughlin's Restaurant & Pub - American Near Me - Arnold, Maryland

Thanks Mr.Brent for the awesome customer service !! My friend and I went here for lunch! We have the fried calamari for an appetizer! It was so yummy w/the Thai sauce! I have 12 wings with the Thai sauce sprinkled with lemon pepper. My friend had 18 wings, 1/2 BBQ and 1/2 lemon pepper! I really enjoyed my wings! My friend have brought me some wings from this place twice before so today I decided to go dine inside. Haven't been disappointed yet! Oh !! The fries are also yummy too and nicely seasoned!! I'm new to Maryland and I'm glad I've been introduced to this place!! read more

It was a relief after being stuck for 6 1/2 hours on the Bay Bridge because the police somehow couldn't figure out how to talk down a jumper to finally pull into O'Loughlin's, and it was the gracious oasis we needed. My wife had the excellent soft-shell crab sandwich and I had the beef on deck with the delicate french fried onion rings --- equally superb. We came from the People's Republic of New Jersey, where at the time our dictator refused to allow indoor dining, so it was a pined-for treat to be able to sit down INSIDE a restaurant, away from flies, hornets and vagabonds wandering by saying, "I'm hungry. You gonna eat that?." The staff at O'Loughlin's capped off a wonderful meal by being super-friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We very much hope to return on our next trip down 301. read more

This is one of our go-to places to order from for food. I almost always want the crab legs appetizer, but have also had good sandwiches, Buffalo chicken wrap, and most recently the chicken kabobs. read more

Good low carb options. Ahi Tuna was served with ginger and Wasabi which was a nice touch.

My wife Emily and I were impressed with the food and service! I am from Buffalo, NY so we both ordered Buffalo wings and the beef on weck with French fries platter. Everything was prepared just right and it was delicious! We had indoor dining. Even during COVID-19 restrictions it was worth the trip from outer Silver Spring to visit O'Loughlin's for the first time. We will definitely come back! read more

The best wedge salad in Md! Eaten it several times always perfecto. Today I got it with the grilled shrimp, wise choice I loved it. Only been here for lunch, but always had great service. Even on St Patrick's day, they were packed, a little waiting to get in, but they handled it very well. Quick for refills. read more

Food is great and service is friendly. Generally, a fun crowd here. Great for watching sports as it's a mixed crowd and everyone has a team to support and it makes the game better when celebrating or commiserating with friends, even if you just met these friends when you walked in the door! Also, great for casual dinner with friends and family. read more

My husband and I come here often and had the worst service tonight. Food is always good but that attitude from our server was enough to give this restaurant a 1 star review. Do yourself a favor and avoid having Kathleen as your server. read more

Went here cause we were in the area. The wings were good (the buffalo wings were better than the butter-n-old bay); the sweet potato fries were nice; the crab dip would have been good if they had actually put crab in it; the calamari was average; the onion straws were really good; and thumbs up for the drinks! What can I say - your average neighborhood pub...not great but not bad. read more

An amazing place if you're looking for good food and a great atmosphere. It's conveniently located in the bay dale plaza right off of Bay Dale Drive. The wings are always a go to or the crab cake with your choice of ice cold draft beer. I usually walk here after getting my hair cut in the same plaza and enjoy a Bud Light and Honey Barbecue Wings! Check it out! read more

Aside from the Old Bay & Butter wings, the food is horrendous. The Maryland Crab soup had not more than 4 strings of crab meat. The steamed shrimp were not deveined, mushy, and completely lacking in flavor. No one else in my group particularly enjoyed their meals (chicken gyro and stuffed fish of some sort). Our waitress asked how the food was (I guess it wasn't obvious seeing I only ate a handful of shrimp), but then didn't bring it to the attention of the manager, apologize, or take it off our check; so I am not sure what was the point of that exercise. The only redeeming qualities this place has are good beer specials, good wings, and lots of TVs. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! Anything and everything you get is cooked to perfection! But my favorites are the wings and crab dip! You can't go wrong! Great family friendly atmosphere here as well too! And service is always great! read more

The best thing about O'Laughlins is Trivia Tuesdays! Seriously, these people get very into it. It's sort of a taverny-blue collar feel. If you win, you can get 25 dollars or a bottle of wine. But I never win. It's really really hard. The food is pretty decent and what you'd expect. Crab dip- super creamy. Yum. French onion soup- VERY cheesy. Pretty much the ideal French onion as far as ratios go. Onion strings-plentiful, affordable (if you're a girl, you will probably want the half order for 3 bucks. There's actually a lot there.), and smell like heaven. The reason for 3 stars--the happy hour deals aren't really ones that I'd take advantage of. No food deals, and the only beer deals are on beers I wouldn't drink, like Bud, or Coors. The beer/drink list is kind of limited. They don't have some common favorites. The wine list is pretty decent and affordable though---I got the Riesling, and I'd get it again! So basically, yes, go to O'Loughlins. But go on a Tuesday night at 7. And be ready to bring it. read more

Used to go here and get a large plate of onion straws. The serving yesterday was so small it was on a small salad plate and only five bites. Then ordered a burger asking if medium would be done with no red (just some pink), also that the onion would be a full slice. However the sandwich arrived medium rare (red) and the onion was shaved slivers. Very disappointing. Also the beer wasn't cold. read more

Awful experience with this place - i wish i could give it a negative star rating. my fiance and i recently relocated to the Annapolis are from Brooklyn, NY. We are slowly getting used to the terrible food options around here, but this takes the cake. Everyone had food poisoning the entire weekend :( Friday night we were too tired to cook and called in an order for pickup to feed a few friends who came over. 18 wings, plain with a side hotsauce and bbq, an order of ultimate nachos with "beef", and jalapeno poppers. we thought it would be a greasy crowd pleasing menu for friday night beers on the back porch ... wings were good. crispy and delicious. sauce on the side was the way to go. nachos were dripping in cheese, "beef" option looked worse than cafeteria grade slop & definitely was the culprit in making myself, my fiance and everyone who ate them ill the entire weekend. terrible stomach cramps on and off, diarrhea for days, and one thing in common among us - we all ate Oloughlin's takeout on Friday night, specifically the ultimate nachos the jalapeno poppers were inedible and thrown away - the menu does warn people they are "hot hot hot" and no one in the room could stand more than a bite or two. i guess we were warned about those & chose to risk it with bad luck. NEVER AGAIN will i eat there, recommend anyone to go there, and really hope other people are not getting sick. i grew up in restaurants, made a living behind the bar, and know all about the health department's regulations for food prep and safety - someone over there in the kitchen is seriously slacking off & my belly paid the price. having just moved from new york city, you get to know the symptoms of food poisoning as it's so common with old hole in the wall dive bar menus. this was one episode that was pretty high up there in stomach cramps, and pain. do yourself a favor and skip out on this place until they get their act together. read more

Just had a terrible experience with this restaurant! Called in a carry-out order and was given the wrong order during pick-up. We were charged for our food, but handed the wrong food. After waiting an excessive amount of time, we were given our order. We got home and two of our meals were prepared incorrectly to the requests we had been told on the phone were fine. Due to food allergies, the food was inedible. Called the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager, but was told that the manager, Heather, was too busy to speak to me. I don't know what manager refuses to speak with a customer regarding an order that their restaurant messed up twice, but I consider it abysmal service. Will not go back. read more

This place is a really good place to go for dinner or just a place to go watch the game. It's too bad the bar area isn't a bit bigger because it can get a bit crowded. **Update** They've knocked the wall down and the bar area is much more spacious, so my rating is now 5 stars. These could be the best wings in the area with so many varieties. They also have lobster night, which is a pretty good deal. The crab dip is one of the best in the area (we've tried a lot of them). The staff and owner are very friendly. Always have time to chat even when they don't really have time. If you live in Arnold, you know this is a locals place to eat and I'm not sure you can give a better compliment than that. Good food at good prices. I have yet to try anything I didn't like. If you get the fish "tacos", they're huge. They're really more like a burrito. They're delicious and filling. read more

You gone and done it O'Loughlins! Be freaking 5-Starrer from Ol Megs. We watched the Saturday night football games here and had a blast. Great beer specials, the service was fabulous, the serving sizes were tremendous. $9 might seem steep for a chicken quesadilla, but this was like, 10 big pieces stuffed with cheese and chicken. My mom got a spinach salad that was huge and fresh. Husband got a Cuban sandwich that was close to a Miami version. Uncle got meatball parm and this sucker must have still weighed 5 lbs after he had eaten his fill. The wings were definitely awesome!! A little bit spicier than most places "Hot" so you've be This was all on the bar side, so not sure what the dining room is like, but for a nice, good-natured neighborhood, low key bar? You can't beat this place! read more

Very tasty drinks, lovely staff, great food. Cream of crab soup never misses! Ive been going here for years and the place has only gotten better. Great management. read more

O'loughlin's is like a "Cheers" bar. Been visiting this place for over 18 years! Their wings are the best, onion soup, burgers. Jelopeno peppers stuffed with chicken are the very best in the area. Cold beer, sodas etc. Please visit you will not be disappointed! read more

Serious sports bar with a brisk bar scene. A few key menu items such as Cream of Crab Soup and Wings. Very good wings!! This establishment caters to a strong local following and is a really fun environment. This review has more relevance for someone moving into the area who wants to find a local restaurant. You can catch many pay per view sports events and good bar food. read more

I came here for a networking meeting, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming! The waiters are always smiling and very respectful. I ate the chicken quesadilla and sweet potato fries and it was amazing! I have no complaints at all. My server was Brent, and he was the nicest guy ever! I would recommend this place! read more

The food was cold, flavorless and way over priced. I do not recommend. We had steaks and wings.

This local haunt is a great option for quick, fresh family fare or an evening of great wings and ultra cold beer while watching your favorite team. Always be prepared for good service from a friendly staff and don't forget to save room for the ice cream covered brownie! Parking is getting easier, but at times can be a challenge. read more

The burgers are great, and I'm a huge fan of their onion straws. Most places do onion straws like chopped up onion rings (ie, soft). These are crispy, like chip-texture-y. The service is awful (hence the lack of stars), but the food makes up for it. Great for a morning-after brunch or a laid back Friday night. read more

The locals like myself call it O's, not O'Loughlin's. BEST wings ever! I love their Old Bay & butter wings. Always loved their cream of crab soup as well. The staff is friendly and their Halloween and New Year's parties are a blast. My husband and I consider this one of our favorite spots to hang out. read more

O'Loughlin's Restaurant & Pub - Half&Half. This soup has half Maryland Crab and half Cream of Crab mixed together. - American Near Me - Arnold, Maryland

If you're looking for a quiet pub with great food and good conversation, look no further! Their mild wings and honey barbecue put any other mainstream wing restaurant to shame. It's tucked away in the Bay Dale plaza and walking distance from my house. I can get a haircut and an ice cold beer in the same spot, can't beat it. read more

Love the old bay and butter wings. The cream if crab soup is also a must. Great prices

O'Loughlin's is an Arnold staple and well loved among locals. It has evolved over the years making it the place to go on music nights (Thursdays) and for sporting events like football and baseball. The owner made some wise choices by opening up the bar area that previously was set off from the restaurant. There are TVs galore to view from anywhere in the house. Oh, and the wonderful event held each year to raise funds for children's cancer needs mentioning as well. Giving back is definitely part of the owner's philosophy. Oh yes, the food!!! While I usually get the Roast Beef Kimmelweck (sp?) sandwich, there is a wide variety of reasonably priced food to suit your palette any day of the week. Good stuff! The staff is friendly as well as the patrons. It's a great place to spend some time close to home! read more

Excellent place. Treat you just like a neighborhood bar. Great food, wonderful wait staff. I usually get wings (Old Bay and Butter is boss), but other items on the menu are great. The fish tacos were great. I liked the shepherds pie, but thought the portion was too small. They have daily specials as well. Full bar. Can order beer by the pitcher. Numerous TVs. They are in the middle of some construction as the shopping center is renovating. Rumored they are adding outdoor seating. Have kids menu and gets get a toy to play with while waiting. They do offer take-out. Great place for family dinner or watching the game. read more

Got the suicide wings and wife got the burger. Very good and great service! Highly recommend! The prices are also very reasonable! You must try it out! read more

I've been going to O'Loughlins as long as I can remember. I really love the brunch they do. I went recently and i got their potato skins and Caesar chicken wrap. I wasn't a huge fan of the Caesar dressing, but overall everything was great! I'll be back of course!! read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid. They still have the most unbelievable and unbeatable wings. People are always friendly and service is always great. read more

Awesome staff, awesome service, great wings. I come here as much as I can. Love wing night, Chris is awesome!

I used to come here on Wednesdays when we lived in Arnold. I loved their corned beef and cabbage rolls. My fiancé loved their prime rib special as well. The service was always great and they seemed to be expanding the restaurant by the time we left to make it bigger. It's a casual restaurant. read more

I have heard great things about this place for their wings. The old bay and butter were delicious. However, The manager who I spoke with was rude. He was reluctant to honor the price online of the wings. He said there prices are always subject to change and they have the best prices around. Outback has a better deal and so does South River Pizza and wings. I ordered 100 wings for a party and came to pick them up at the time I requested. After the conversation about prices the wings were still 15 minutes late. I hope their staff are better than this manager. Their prices online should reflect their menu price. read more

Slow to great, slow to get drinks, slow to take or order, slow to bring you food. Very short staffed and the assistant manager walks around asking customers trivia questions instead of helping with the service. Small portions, food was nasty and lastly wanted to argue over Groupon voucher. Not at all interested in customer satisfaction read more
