We’ve been to Donnelly’s quite a few times since they have moved to this location and love it. This trip was spectacular, thanks to our server who played along with my sarcasm. She was quick and accurate with our order and revisited at the right...Read More

Donnelly's has a nice atmosphere, very much like a real Irish pub. It's a pleasant place with a rotating draft beer list and decent (but not great) food. The local food critic has written good reviews about the Reuben sandwich, so I felt compelled to...Read More

I find Donnelly's to be friendly yet typical Irish restaurant/bar. Decent selection of beer however the food is mediocre at best. The service we had today was atrocious. I had the Mediterranean Salad which was missing half the ingredients. We ordered an...Read More

Unique selections. I've traveled to Ireland and some of the selections are similar, such as bangers and mash. I had a buffalo chicken sandwich and it was nice and spicy. Also had an alcoholic beverage and the bartender was knowledge and was able...Read More

We used to come to Donnelly’s often. The last 3 times I’ve been very disappointed in the food quality service and pricing.I had gotten the stacked beef sandwich for at least 20 years. The last two times it was not good. Very little beef, the...Read More

Waitress was slow…took 15-20 mins for drinks… no silverware until had to remind waitress. When food was serviced it looked like it had sat for a bit before it was served my burger was on the dry side plus the cheese wasn’t melted. Then...Read More

First time coming here as we don't live in Peoria. The atmosphere was welcoming and definitely had an Irish touch to it, when looking at the venue was disappointed to see not much irish dishes. No shepherds pie. I was looking forward to Boxty. It...Read More

Food was brought out 45 minutes after we ordered. Waiter told us that fried catfish takes 30 minutes to prepare after he brought it out. I don't like being lied to. The fries were limp and cold. Additionally he avoided us during that wait because...Read More

The menu items are hit and miss for me, but my family likes the food and the fried chicken meal is pretty good if you're very hungry or want leftovers. They have interesting decorations on the walls and TVs with sports channels.The most recent time we went, they were busy when we got there, but the girl at the front said there was an empty table across the room they just needed to clean and it would be a 10 minute wait. Great! We had a large-ish group (7), so that was perfect—except then, after the 10 minutes were up, she told us it would be another 20 minutes, even though we had watched them clear off the table and other, smaller groups were let in and seated while we waited (maybe they had reservations?).The hostess said she didn't want us waiting at the table when it would be a while for our waiter, so instead of being able to settle in, chat with my relatives from out of town, get drinks, and look over the menu, four of us were crammed into the tiny entryway bench and the rest of our group went outside to wait in the drizzling rain. We finally were told it was time and got my grandma on her feet to head to the table, but there was something the hostess ran off to check on and it was another couple of minutes before we actually got to head to the table.Once seated, it was another another half hour or more before we were allowed to order, at least 45 minutes to get the food, and despite scarfing down our meals, we ended up the last ones there. We got to the restaurant at 6:30, didn't get to place our orders until at least 7:30, maybe got our food at 8:15, and left at 9. Even when most of the other tables had all cleared out, our waiter hardly checked on us, and things moved very slowly. The staff were all friendly, but there was no explanation for the added wait time.I don't know what the deal was, but it's not the first time it's been very slow there. More communication would be nice if there's a hold-up. I've never been a waiter, but I would think if one waiter is too busy to take a table, maybe someone less busy would be allowed to wait on it?Entrees are probably $15-20, so if you get a side (which are a la carte) and drink, you're going to go over $20/person.

We were very disappointed. Ordered the lunch size tenderloin sandwich, no seasoning, cardboard thin, served on a saucer as it was so small for $8.00. Asked to have pickles, received 2 small slices. Sandwiches come w/nothing. We ordered a side of sweet potato fries to...Read More

The vegetable salad for $7.25 was very, very sparce for the price. I am a vegan and the only other food choice was the Impossible burger which is fine. BUT all sandwiches came with nothing else and were "pricey" at $13.00. Not sure I will...Read More

Nice atmosphere, lovely building and interior. It actually looks like an actual Irish pub which was lovely. There is also a very pleasant outdoor seating area for when the weather is nice. The food was tasty and the portions were sufficient. ...Read More

A classic Irish pub & bar from 3 generations of Irish know-how.The wings are No. 1 in the country. Prove me wrong. Original mild. A culinary gift every time. And the drummy to 'wing' ratio is always tilted fairly. Look,...Read More

Really poor experience here on 11/25/22. I've been frequenting Donnelly's since the early 90's and have never had an experience that would prevent me from returning, until last night.Ordered large tenderloin to share. Asked for onion, extra pickle and mayonnaise on side. Waitress said she...Read More

The food was delicious and the service was good. I got the Lucky Horseshoe. It's an open-faced burger on Texas toast with cheese sauce on top and a bunch of fries on top of that. It was so yummy! The price was average. We had...Read More

This place was bought and renovated from an old chain restaurant. It has a great looking bar with a huge number of beer choices. The bar is separate from the restaurant so is appropriate for families. Try the Irish sausage sandwich,...Read More

ABSOLUTELY BEST WINGS ON EARTH, I travel all around the world and a lot around the US. Donnelly's has the best wings by far, even better than the inventors of the buffalo wing, better than the Anchor Bar, in Buffalo New York. This location is...Read More

The beer, the burgers, the wedge. All were very good. The Northwinds Firkin was an excellent stout and I followed that with a Hawaiian stout...it was described as having coconut but it was just a slight hint and was really tasty. Happily they prepared...Read More

UPDATE:This USED to be our favorite place. No more homemade soup, they took a lot of things off the menu like the roast beef sandwich which was delicious and the pulled pork potato skins. You can no longer get the rosemary gravy or mashed potatoes...Read More
