Great service and outdoor patio area! Food is always good. Love the Wedge Salad! Would highly recommend...

Porter Cullen's Irish Pub & Restaurant was such a great find and easily a five-star experience for me. The food was amazing and everything we ordered really hit. The brunch menu is so good and definitely worth going for, but they also have great dinner options, which makes it a place you can come back to anytime. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food, and it shows in both the quality and flavor. The service was just as good. The staff is super friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcomed the entire time. It never felt rushed, and they were always around when we needed anything. The ambiance is one of my favorite parts. It has that cozy Irish pub feel but still feels lively and fun, whether you are there for brunch or dinner. It is the kind of place you can sit, relax, and really enjoy your time. Overall, just such a great spot with amazing food, great service, and a really good atmosphere. Definitely a place I would recommend and will be going back to. read more

Routine stop for us. The patio area is very nice. Always consistently good service, food and drinks.

Nothing special here. Corned beef was very good... A bit noisy . They have a door leading outside for smokers, so every time the door was opened, the smoke comes in! $5 for a bottle of Michelob Ultra?! YIKES! A bit far for just average.. read more

Went with my son, his girlfriend and their daughter to have a birthday dinner for his girlfriend! Food was fabulous and the service was great! Nice neighborhood restaurant! I had the shepherds pie and it was the best! I took a slice of the lemon cake home for dessert and it was fabulous! A must try! I would highly recommend giving them a try! read more

Stopped by this spot in my friend's neighborhood! Service was pretty good and felt like we were attended to. We ordered a couple red summer sangrias, I loved them. I also got chips and salsa for our appetizer, the salsa was good, the chips were a little bit on the greasy side for me. I ordered a burger for my main, cooked to my liking and tasted so yummy! Definitely would come back again! read more

Porter Cullens - Red sangria - Irish Pub Near Me - Evergreen Park, Illinois

We've been there three times. The corned beef reuben, curry fries, and shepherd pie were delicious. The fries are never hot enough though. Prior, we had delicious fish n chips. Once we went on St Pat's day for corned beef n cabbage which had no flavor. Service has always been great and good ambiance. read more

The customer service was fantastic, everyone was super kind when assisting with any help. Not to forget to mention the food was amazing. My family tried several dishes and they were all delicious. Erin's service was so welcoming and kind. read more

Food. I've seen the decline in food quality at the place over the past few years. Had a burger, the bacon bleu cheese burger and I swear I had two frozen patties. If they weren't frozen, they were just awful. And it was $20. The taste was that of an unclean grill, and I didn't even finish it. I left half of it there. I couldn't wait to get out, and I had to find ice cream at another establishment to get the awful taste out of my mouth. read more

I have been to Porter Cullens twice now and both times the experience was wonderful. They have excellent food options, the service is impeccable and the drinks are delightful and the atmosphere cozy!! I would recommend Porter Cullens 100 times over. read more

First time at Porter Cullens for me and it was delicious! My girlfriend and I got the sweet pear flatbread and the combination of sweet pear, blue cheese, candied bacon and balsamic glazed was such a great combination. Sandwich we got the Spicy gourmet grilled cheese and the fish and chips all was very good. Atmosphere was great and service was awesome. Love their dirty martinis and I asked for 3 stuffed cheese olives and no complaints. A very good first experience for me and will be back for sure! read more

My mom and I went down to Mt. Greenwood to meet my friends for lunch whilst they were at work, and Porter Cullens is only about five minutes from their workplace. It's in the middle of a neighborhood and near StX, Mother McCauley, etc. But because of it's location, parking here can be really difficult since the neighborhood parking is not for restaurant patrons. They have a some diagonal parking on the street. They have some outdoor seating, about five tables. When we were here it was warm and humid so we sat inside. One of the servers was pretty friendly, but the one who took our orders doesn't seem to have much patience and seemed somewhat annoyed. Attention was lacking; I got one refill on my water during the hour plus that we were there. However, the food was good. My friend got the Irish egg rolls, which are apparently corned beef and sauerkraut in egg roll form. Served with Italian dressing, it's almost like a reuben egg roll but I don't think there's cheese in them. I'd get those next time I was there, or the corned beef sandwich. I got a turkey club which was yummy and big--I brought half of it home and also had to unhinge my jaw to eat it. The other two in our party go the sliders. One ordered them as described in the menu, and the other just got three of the same type (apparently you can do that but they can only be either as stated on the menu OR all one type of slider). I well may visit here again since I have friends who lie and work nearby. But the service kinda left a bad taste in my mouth to be honest, so unless I was really craving the Irish egg rolls I might find another place to try nearby. read more

Nice little Irish restaurant located in Evergreen Park. It's easy to miss, it's located in a residential area not by a lot of restaurants or businesses. It's on 99th street, just a little east of Brother Rice High School. But regardless of that, it's worth checking out if you're in the area. It's nice, but without getting too expensive. They have a wide variety of sandwiches and salads. I got the corned beef with fries. Solid, got the job done. They also have a full bar and selection of beers and cocktails. Inside isn't super big, but they have outdoor seating for when the weather cooperates. In the grand scheme of things it's nothing too special, but there's not a whole lot similar to this in this area, so I'd recommend if you live close by. read more

Staff is great. Attentive and friendly. Food is good and pub atmosphere is lively and fun.

My Girlfriend and I recently tried this restaurant after moving into the neighborhood. We ate outside since it was nice. The food hit the spot, I had a brisket grilled cheese sandwich (yumyums). The vibe was great but the service was amazing. My girlfriend is pretty annoying at restaurants sometimes because of service it actually caused us to breakup once haha but that story is for another day. Our server was a brown haired girl named Clare, she was extremely friendly and was always on top of things. We will definitely come back after our experience!! read more

Shelly, our server was wonder! Very friendly and attentive. So sweet as to help point out a similar item on the menu that I actually like better. Angela and Alyssa were kind enough to set up a table while the restaurant was busy. Great food and service. Wonderful owner! read more

The venue was clean and not terribly loud. The server was incredibly friendly and interacted with our party in a matter that made the experience exceptional. They had a great variety of adult beverages that we took advantage of the appetizers were very good. entrées we're outstanding. I had the fish and chips and the fish was large and flaky, and the batter was light and crispy. The fries were I believe, frozen, but prepared in such a way that they were incredibly tasty. It was an enjoyable evening all around and I can't wait to go back read more

highly recommend! Awesome food and service. love the decor! Its so festive and always decorated for whatever time of yr it is! Can't wait to go back!! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Porter Cullens Irish Pub and I must say it was a delightful experience. From the moment I entered, I was greeted with warm and friendly service that made me feel right at home. I decided to try the nachos with steak, Irish egg rolls, and buffalo chicken sandwich, and I was not disappointed. The steak nachos were loaded with tender and flavorful strips of steak and a generous serving of toppings. I was told the making the chips fresh in house. The Irish egg rolls were a unique twist on a classic appetizer. Open face egg roll filled corned beef, cabbage, and cheese. It was so delicious. The staff were very attentive, and friendly making for a pleasant dining atmosphere. I loved the decor very modern and inviting. I highly recommend a visit to Porter Cullens for a great meal and fantastic service. read more

The food was delicious. We called for a pickup and the order was ready on time. Definitely will be back.

Ordered a beer. Sat outside on patio. Was never approached t at all. They just left me hanging

Tucked in the neighborhood it's a nice little place to go. The prices are reasonable and the service is friendly and welcoming. My sandwich was a meat lovers fantasy. It was called Cullens Cure on pretzels roll. They made my wife a Ruben that wasn't on the menu. That was very good as well. read more

A cute pub/restaurant in a neighborhood. Good beer and wine list and a varied menu. We loved the flatbreads and pasta dishes. We went early so it was not too crowded, noisy later when we were leaving. It was definitely worth the trip and I've already returned and will again. read more

Such a great time at Porter Cullens. Our server, Emily, did an amazing job and was so sweet to us. Even the manager/owner did a great job making us feel welcome. Not to mention the drinks and food were amazing! read more

Great food great service. Great selection of beer. Very nice place. Will be returning soon with 10 friends.

We love this place! The food is good but the atmosphere is better. The patio is nice now that the weather is warm. They rotate their menu regularly so there's always something new and everyone is kind. Great neighborhood bar/restaurant. read more

This place is truly a gem! Definitely all locals, Even had the local school game on.. which I thought was super awesome! But we came in on a Friday night and it was pretty packed. Thankfully we were seated right away. Started off with the apple cider Sangria to drink, which was very tasty and the steak crostini and that was absolutely awesome. Crunchy toast with steak and mushrooms topped with arugula. I ordered the Shepards pie and I wasn't disappointed! Huge portion, great flavor. My wife ordered the fish tacos and these were some of the biggest fish tacos I've ever seen. Needless to say we definitely had some left overs. I dunno why it took us so long to give this place a try. read more

Porter Cullens has long been a favorite local pub to drop into whenever on the south side - great food and drinks, friendly atmosphere, terrific service - plus you're always bound to run into regulars and people you know. I want to extend a special thank you to everyone at PC's for the hospitality and service they provided when hosting a dear friend's birthday party last Friday. Everyone loved the food and beverages, but even more PC's provided the perfect comfortable and friendly setting for all to enjoy themselves and each other's company. You all are truly the best! Always looking forward to our next visit. read more

Stopped in for lunch and ordered the Irish Shepherd's Pie assuming it would be a good choice for an Irish pub. My assumption was spot on! The portion was large and it is definitely homemade, no instant potatoes or caned sauce. The light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top was a nice additional layer of flavor. The beef, peas, carrots and sauce was very tasty. You'll need a to go box! My friend had the house oven-roasted turkey club. Delicious thick sliced turkey and just the right amount of bacon. This is a very good neighborhood restaurant and I encourage you to give them a try. read more

Porter Cullens - Irish Shepherds Pie - Irish Pub Near Me - Evergreen Park, Illinois

I have passed this place many times and decided today I would stop in for lunch. I should have went elsewhere! They overcharged me! (a "Black tax" I believe). I did read a review that said the restaurant was not "minority-friendly" and that was the vibe I got! I ordered the fish and chips and the price on the menu was $13. When my bill came the fish and chips showed $15. When I questioned the waitress about it she claimed it was due to a price increase and that the menus had not been updated yet. Bullcrap! In addition I order Malbec wine that was $7 on the menu but $8 on my bill. I won't mention the fact that service was slow and the food was just mediocre. Don't waste your time or money patronizing this place!!! read more

Under new ownership. Met the owner. Very pleasant and attentive. Menu selections were unique. Service was great. I will be back for sure.

I've been coming here for years with my Brother Rice HS Alumni buddies for football games. They always have a great drink menu, and awesome food. Love this place. read more

Cozy neighborhood spot with great food and even better service, especially from Maura!

The cocktails & food here are top notch!! The service is incredible-- even the owner makes his rounds to check on guest. Waitresses are always patient, quick, & kind! Love having this place in the neighborhood. read more

Irish bar located in a neighborhood surrounded by homes. Nice outdoor patio eating area. Had 2 fresh Gumball Head beers and the fish and chips. Fish fresh and battered and tasty. Fries could have been crispier but they were fine. Waitress was great and prices were what i would expect in Chicago. Good place to go before, between or after games at Brother Rice. Walking distance from School. read more

Solid little restaurant in Evergreen Park. I came here with my parents for dinner one night and had a good burger. My parents both had salads which looked great and they both enjoyed. Parking can be a little tricky here but if you can find a spot, make sure to give Porter Cullens a try! read more

This place was great. We had dinner and drinks. Food and service was enjoyed by our whole group.

I love this place but...why the continued 'convenience fee' tacked on every check? It's so small but so annoying. I'd rather be charged for water or napkins than to have an obscure and random charge that has no explanation added to my bill. What's the convenience? Certainly not the parking. I don't know of any other restaurants that charge this. It just reminds me that there are other restaurants in the neighborhood. read more

Loved the aesthetic of this south side restaurant and service was prompt and kind. Manager checking in along the way. Food unfortunately was very salty -- Shepard's pie and Fish and Chips. Drinks were very good especially the chai martini. read more
