    They put American cheese on my toastie. Unforgivable, despite the truly lovely staff.

    I haven't been to Rory Dolan's in about 25 years; it's exactly as I remember it. A fun atmosphere,…read moreexcellent food, and beverages. there's a Breakfast, lunch and dinner menu as well as seasonal specials. That doesn't happen very often anymore where you can go "home".. It made an otherwise somber occasion a little less sad. 2/28/26. We had a family memorial luncheon, originally reserved for 16 people, it soon became 20 people. Rory Dolan was very gracious and accommodating, rearranging tables to accommodate the group. We had a section in the upper dining area to ourselves. There's an extensive adult beverage menu, with of dozens of beers on tap and on ice, wines, and liquors. See photos. The food menu had the expected Irish fare; shepherds pie, salmon, corned beef, and cabbage, etc. There were some Italian inspired appetizers and mains, even Korean flavors. Everyone ordered whatever they wanted off the regular menu. Service was impeccable, the restaurant has an inviting ambience. I noticed there were a lot of "regulars" there this particular afternoon. It's still a pretty cool "watering hall". They have live music on the weekends and they also sponsor local event events.

They have a spacious bar and restaurant area, that is conveniently located on McLean Ave. It is a lively space but the decor and dark wood make it seem more like a historic location. I came here for a work event and order the chicken tender and fries. It came out very quickly, even though the bar and restaurant was packed. My food was hot and fresh. I would definitely order this again. Can't wait to stop back in.

They were attentive and professional throughout the three hour party. We had about 55 people attending, and not one of them left without commenting on how great the experience was. The bar service was fast moving and friendly - nobody waited for drinks - and there was nothing requested that wasn't available. The food was awesome. We had penne vodka, shrimp scampi and rice, chicken francese, salad, mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, shepherds pie, mixed veggies, and garlic mashed potatoes. Plenty of dipping sauces and dressings were available. The food was incredible - the shepherds pie was especially amazing - everyone got up for seconds. Eileen (the owner) was very friendly, we had a chance to speak to her when we were starting the party. She beautifully runs this business and it's apparent in everything from the cleanliness, to the decor, to the quality of food and drink, and customer service provided by the staff. We'll recommend this venue to anyone looking to host a party and will 100% return here for our future events.

    Where to begin? Our appetizers never arrived, and when the main courses were brought out, we had to…read morepoint out that we were still waiting for them. To make matters worse, one person in our group didn't receive his meal until everyone else had already finished eating. The owner stopped by and casually explained that this "sometimes happens on busy days," and offered us drinks for the inconvenience--but we were still charged for them at the end. When we brought this up to our server, she claimed she wasn't aware of the offer, and we ended up paying full price for everything. Overall, it was a frustrating and disappointing experience, with very poor customer service.

    It's been a loooong time since I last visited, but now that I live about a mile away, I figured,…read morewhy not give it another shot? Well... let's just say this is a tale of two experiences: the food? A solid 5 stars. Everything else? More like 1. So I'm meeting in the middle with 3. We walked into what I think was organized chaos. People were everywhere, but oddly... no one was sitting. Empty tables, no host in sight, and definitely no one greeting us with a warm "Hey, welcome in!" One of the guys at the bar casually told us to sit wherever. So we did. Eventually someone noticed us. The vibe? Loud, kind of messy, and definitely not what you'd call cozy. We ordered quickly, thinking we were being proactive. But drinks took a while, and the appetizer took about 30 minutes--which really set the tone for the 45-minute wait that followed for our shared entree. Apparently, it was "kids night," but I didn't see a single child. Also, the bathroom? Let's just say in gas station style clean. BUT--and this is a big but--the food was excellent. Big portions, full of flavor, and even better as leftovers the next day. So the kitchen is clearly doing something right. Unfortunately, the overall vibe just isn't my cup of tea. I like to unwind with a good meal and a cocktail--not feel like I'm in a live-action game of restaurant hide-and-seek. There are other spots nearby that check more boxes for me, so for now, this place is going on the back burner. Maybe we'll give it another go someday. When kids night includes actual kids.

    I don't like to give 1 star so I'll give 3 for the host who took my order she was kind. I ordered…read morenachos $37 and all it had was burnt chips with cheese and a few jalapeños. A tiny cup of quac and pico. No meat. Very disappointing. I heard so many good things about their nachos.
