Highly recommend if you need a stop along 84. We grabbed dinner on a roadtrip and they went out of their way to make our little ones comfortable. Friendly staff, good food, and nice atmosphere.

They have, hands down, the best Corned beef and Cabbage. Fork tender, not stringy or dry. We'll portioned worthy of a homestyled meal. Paired well with a stout or pilsner.

The OB staff is always friendly and a pleasure to interact with. They're always willing to make me a vegan meal, which is much appreciated. I've only ever had pleasant experiences.

O'Brien's is a great little neighborhood bar. The food is great and the prices are very good. Bartenders and regulars are friendly. The owner, John, is often there and will join us for a drink and conversation. One of my favorite places!

Really happy with this place. Great food every time we go there. The environment is great too, with the dining area very separate from the bar to accommodate both the eating and drinking crowds.
