O’Neill’s Restaurant and Bar

Visiting my sister-​in-​law, chose O’Neill’s because of proximity to her apartment and because of good reviews on Unilocal.Husband and sis-​in-​law chose fish ‘n chips because of Unilocal review. Large portion of fish. Not sure if beer batter coating, but not very flavorful. Waffle fries tasted good, but were barely warm when served to us. Side of coleslaw was generous. I ordered shrimp jambalaya served on a bed of rice. Large portion, it had a nice Cajun/​creole flavor. Pieces of sausage were nicely flavored.
Service was attentive. Brought our order quickly. Replenished beverages frequently.
Nicely decorated with booths, tables and a bar area where you could also order from the menu.

The inside atmosphere is homey and comfortable — you immediately forget that you are in a strip mall. We had dinner in the bar and found it was a very comfortable place to eat and people watch. The bar area was definitely filled with their regulars.
I tried the Reuben sandwich and thought it was ok (I can be a reuben snob though according to some people), but thought the salad I got with it was really fresh and a nice portion. Hubby had the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and veggies and thought they were good.
We were here during happy hour and noticed that the menu included their regular meals just with smaller portions and prices. Based on hubbys order though, I can’t imagine that the portions were really any smaller.
He was a little disappointed that there was not a craft beer on the happy hour list, but other than that, we would return and try some of the other dishes on the menu.

Good Lord. Called ahead for a reservation earlier in the day for 7 knowing it would be busy and was told they do not take reservations but should call an hour or so beforehand and they’d have a table. Called them back at 6, the hostess said no problem, they took my name, and even asked if I wanted a High-​top or booth? Great, sounds like a sure thing. Show up and it’ll be 30 – 40 minute wait. WTF? So… ummm ok? Maybe a heads up on how their bizarre system works would be grrrreeeeaat. Never again.

This is a great place for quality comfort food. Experienced servers provide good service and the menu has familiar options to satisfy most tastes. There is often a wait to be seated at this popular spot. The décor is a combination of Irish pub and sports bar with a good selection of local sports artifacts and art covering the walls. Daily specials and moderate prices make this a good spot for lunch or dinner.

I have been enjoying O’Neill’s for several years and have always found the food delicious and filling. The meatloaf sandwich, Irish pot roast and bread pudding are some of my favorite dishes.

Best fish and chips in town. But service was slow and the fact they charge a $ 2.50 up charge for a lemonade on a kids meal when a drink is included was absolutely freaking crazy.

A favorite place for many years. A neighborhood favorite. Always busy. Excellent service. Great bar to have a drink or eat at. Friendly atmosphere. Loads of tvs to watch sports. Nice outdoor seating with more tvs. Great starters, mains, burgers, salads, soups, steak, fish, specials and desserts!!! Well worth it!

This is the best chicken fried chicken ! The mashed potatoes are too die for, homemade salad dressing amazing, and the awesome service. We love this place !

Granted, we went at an odd time of day, but the service was not very good. Actually, I think our waitress was the only one working the tables and the bar. When we finally got our food, it was warm but both our meals were fried and it should have been hot.
The fish was good, but I don’t care for lukewarm fries. The tenderloin was ok, nothing special and clearly sat under the warmer long enough to be warm, not hot. My beverage did not make it until after my meal was served. Oops! Happy hour? Not so much.

We’ve been several times, but most recently, we went for happy hour. The weather was perfect and we sat out on the patio. We each had the pork tacos and they were exceptional! Our server was top notch as usual and the bread pudding never disappoints! It’s definitely in the top 10 of our favorite places.

Had a really good lunch here. Place was packed and running s wait. I had a pork tenderloin, my husband had a steak sandwich. Our server was nice about special requests and meals arrived as ordered. Good bread, nice portions and overall, a good, clubby vibe. We will return!

God, I love y’all! Why is your service/​food so damn good? A gem on Mission, I declare…

Cozy neighborhood bar and restaurant. Solid, tasty food. Not gourmet but good. An older crowd – median age appears to be 60. Good, friendly servers and large portions.

This is way out of my neck of the woods and in a part of Jo Co with terrible highway access so I very rarely make it over here, it’s been years! So glad I had a meeting in that part of town around dinner time so I could enjoy O’Neill’s. I’m a fan of the home town places so this place is right up my alley. Locally owned, family friendly, great food, big portions so it is great for sharing. I would highly recommend O’Neill’s. They are not open on Sunday and don’t take reservations. You’ll probably have to wait at least 30 minutes but I think it is worth it!

This is a busy place at lunch! I suppose that is saying something.
I had a Somerset Chicken Salad and enjoyed it. Anytime you put pecans and chicken together something good happens! This is split personality salad… half southwestern and half southern. But it works and was the healthy option I needed.
Service at the bar was terrific. The dude was working!

What a great place to cozy up in a booth for a long overdue catch up session with family. Higher quality bar food, if there is such a thing.
Driving by, it may seem like your everyday ordinary pub, but it’s so much more homey… and clean! My cousin and I were there until past closing and there was absolutely no rush from the staff to push us out of there.
The Fish & Chips will last you a couple days… just saying.

Our neighbors rave about this place so we knew we had to try it. We arrived to a packed house on a Thursday evening — 25 minute wait. We didn’t mind waiting because it gave us a chance to see the variety of food coming out of the kitchen and look around the place.
The décor was not at all what I expected based on the outside. The interior marries classy sports bar and Irish pub. The walls are decked with lots of memorabilia from regional college and professional sports teams. A lot of dark wood paneling and Tiffany-​type lighting.
The menu was elevated bar food — steak, pork chops, fried chicken, chicken fried steak, salads, sandwiches and wraps, etc. There was a lot to choose from. I asked if the salad dressings were homemade (I have a weird thing about bottle dressing) and they were.
I settled on a bacon-​wrapped pork ribeye with dinner salad, sautéed veggies and mashed potatoes. My husband enjoyed a jambalaya.
My pork was perfectly cooked. The potatoes were good and flavorful. The veggies were good and fresh (not frozen or canned) — they were sautéed and could’ve used a little more time on the stove as they were a bit undercooked. My salad was good — lettuce (not ice berg!!!), cheese, tomatoes, onion, bacon, cheese, cucumber and good house dressing.
My husband raved about his jambalaya and used a roll to sop up every last drop off his plate.
Portions were good. Food, minus my veggies, was well-​cooked. Service was average to good. I will definitely go back.

This Ranch Mart mainstay remains unchanged even after a move across the street. Always a great place to get a hot sandwich entrée and some cold beers.
There is an early crowd apartment dwellers from across the street. Time things right and you’ll miss the early crowd but beat the late crowd. All the same, the servers here are always friendly, the atmosphere is always amicable, and the food is always delicious.

We stopped in our local neighborhood bar & grill for lunch largely because they were a participant in the fundraiser for JJ’s and oh how we were rewarded.
We were greeted and seated immediately. We were warmly and enthusiastically greeted by our server Diane. She explained the specials, offered advice (it’s been quite a while since we’d been in) and fetched our drinks.
I had the soup/​salad combo (you can combine any salad, soup or sandwich into a combo which I love — some restaurants mysteriously restrict these options). I chose the clam chowder & bleu pine salad. The clam chowder was the best I’ve had in Kansas City hands down. It was thick & creamy with large chunks of potato & clam. MMMMMmmmmm. The salad was delish also with a tart citrus vinaigrette and just the right amount of bleu cheese for balance.
We’ll be back!

Good but not amazing. Just another KC Irish pub that isn’t really all that Irish. The food was decent, the atmosphere and service were decent, but nothing was especially remarkable.
Since we have been on the tour de bread pudding since getting back to KC, we had to try it here too. It was old school bread pudding, made pretty traditionally, but a little too slimy inside for my taste.
