It's been a loooong time since I last visited, but now that I live about a mile away, I figured, why 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. read more

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 nachos $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. read more

Have to say that Burke's is back. The wings and mozzarella sticks are back to what they used to be and happy to continue to give them our business. Anyone who left because of the previous change, give them a try again. read more

Excellent food & service..I cannot speak for the late hours, but the afternoon is good..

I went to Burke's to go watch a UFC fight with my partner. I just assumed it was your usual neighborhood bar. However, the place is so big and their menu is so versatile that you'll be able to find something you like. We got the shepherd's pie and some appetizers and everything was so delicious. Our waitress was extremely friendly and so sweet. I've been meaning to go back to Burke's for the past few months and definitely can't wait because even though it looks like your usual Irish pub, inside it is much more homey. read more

If the Irish flag in this pub's outside doesn't give away the fact that it's......Irish, how about the nice hospitality that was in full effect? In a time of the Coronavirus, Burke's is only operating for take out. And in a time of supporting small, non-franchise businesses, I went for it. I sure did. Yes- I thought long and hard about take out- but hubs and I had been doing so for about a week. Plus, since we'd finished helping mutual friends of ours in the area with some groceries...why not? Burke's got a real cool edge and looks like it's a popular spot located off the Bronx River Pkwy in Yonkers with an in-your-face Irish feel. As far as dramatic entrances go, Burke's makes quite an impression. As such, the red loud exterior, is probably enough to draw anybody in. There's an immense bar, lots of black woods and a showy sky-high, wrought iron staircase. The space is big. Period. This place has the standard pub grub fare. Decided with burgers and by the way- I like Burke's non-meat burger option. I seriously don't know what's good in their menu, but my portobello burger was a nice curveball and added lett.+toma.+ oni. to it on the softest and freshest Brioche bun while hubs enjoyed his Medium-prepped burger with Bleu Cheese crumbles on an English Muffin. Regular Fries? I actually loved the crispy outside better than my Sweet Potato ones. I'm not sure how much Guinness these folks get to pour or rather- have poured but it seems they got their beer situation down. The owner was pleasant when I picked up and thanked me for stopping by. Besides...it's the least some of us could do. read more

We had a birthday party for our toddler today. The staff is UNREAL!! Roz could not have been any more helpful! She helped organize, set up and worked the party. She even had a fantastic magician to suggest. I know some might not think of a bar as a place for a kid's party, but kids and adults a like said this was the best party they have been to. 10 out of 10!! read more

I can't wait to return here. The people here were drunk and happy. The waitress and bartenders are super personable.

Burke's Restaurant and Bar - Worst burger ever - Irish Near Me - Yonkers, New York

The atmosphere is beautiful the bartenders the waiters they attend to you like you are family food is delicious. I recommend this place.

ok so after a 50 miles bike ride (putnam trail to Kenisco dam and back) me and my friend stopped at this restaurant and bar! Have passed this gem 100s of times but that day we just stopped, and boy! we were hungry or and slightly tired! So beer was on cards, guess what I got, Guinness!!!! So with COVID19 pandemic, this place had plenty outdoor availability and was busy! This place is located in Yonkers, next to Bronx river pkwy ie McCleans Avenue, also known as Little Ireland its actually a criss cross b/w Yonkers and Bronx! OK Back to food! So this place has a very good selection of Burgers, the best burgers wait! until you see pictures. You can customize your make your burgers! So i went with my selection and I am glad they had "jalapenos" as a side! The patty ,my friends. is the fattest I have ever seen, I heard that some folks just order the patty and eat it as a meal! Coleslaw is great, I dont even like it but i think I was pretty hungry that I devoured it! Servers are friendly and attentive, my next time here, I will eat inside soon! Go Green Go Irish!!! read more

I've only been here a few times, usually impromptu meet up with my friends which more times than not, end up as some of the most epic nights. I like this bar, especially for after work happy hour sessions. Their food is pretty good and their specials are worth it. Drinks are always strong and cheap during HH and best yet, the staff is friendly. I've had their wings and their burger is OK. The last time I went we all shared some nachos which weren't half bad. Burke's is a great neighborhood bar and we really should go more often. Its never been terribly busy where we can't find a chair but it also has never been dead where you feel like it's the apocalypse; it's a happy medium. read more

Burke's Restaurant and Bar - Nachos - Irish Near Me - Yonkers, New York

Pitiful. The tables that had been used were never cleaned up . Ok our waitress cleaned off a table for us, 2 people. We ordered very simple drinks a Rum and Coke and a dry Tito's martini. After 35 minutes still no drinks. Then finally we got the drinks and... " We didn't have dry vermouth so we used sweet vermouth... " You gotta be kidding me. I sent the drink back and just ordered a vodka and soda, but my friend turned to me and said, " Let's go this drink tastes like wet socks" It's a shame that they don't know how to run the place. Nice , huge space, could be a money maker, but no staff. Plus there's a weird thug vibe. read more

It being a rainy and nasty day I decided to order sirloin steak and soup from Burke's Restaurant and Bar in Yonkers. The delivery was prompt and the sirloin steak was delicious as was the soup and trimmings, I prefer to order from Burke's as there is no third delivery party to get things confused, I speak directly to the restaurant and delivery is prompt and correct, read more

A dive bar that's tucked away on the fringe of Yonkers. I went with a larger group during day time. There are slightly bigger tables in there, but not a great layout if you have more than 10 in your party. The wait staff was kind but in a bit of a rush, which was understandable since we were a large group. There's a good selection of beer on tap, including local brews. I had a pumpkin ale that didn't really deliver what I thought it would be. The beer menu could use a little bit of an explanation. Most of us ordered burgers, which were quite large. You customize the toppings and the sauces. I felt the burger sizes were too big to really enjoy all of the toppings you could get. The patty was cooked medium rare as I ordered, but the texture and flavor was unremarkable. The vegetables didn't really look or taste that fresh. I felt sick after eating here. I had a bite of the nachos, though, and it wasn't too heavy or that bad. Overall, I would maybe come back here for the drinks and the pub atmosphere, but definitely not get a meal from here again. read more

a local bar that is filled with Tv's to catch the biggest games. Full service bat that offers your standard beers as well as some microbrews. The place can get very crowded on a Friday and Saturday night especially if a band is playing. The Irish nachos are always a home run same as the burgers. The chicken fingers are HUGE, the use cutlets as their fingers!!!!! Overall a great local place that always seems to hit a home run in my stomach! read more

I went here yesterday to watch the football game and try their food that I see on social media and how much they brag on how good . I live down the block aha never been to this establishment I can say is very spacious clean and the staff seemed nice and friendly. The drinks were good. The wings were delish. Now came dinner we both ordered burgers. My partnered ordered a Turkey burger which was dry and I ordered their Mac and cheese burger . My burger was dry which I asked medium. was well done the outside of it was burnt I really was looking forward on a nice juicy burger I didn't want to complain so I just ate what I could and we left. Was very disappointed should of ordered more wings lol read more

Friendly barmaids and friendly patrons. Tons of flat screens to catch up on your favorite teams or local events. Cheap bar food and drink specials. Decent parking.

This is my go to spot in Yonkers, until I find better. read more

Burkes has been under new management for a few months now and all I can say is that I am highly disappointed with the changes. From removing the table cloths and down sizing all of the water/soda cups to changing out the steak fries!!!!!! We used to love burkes for their chicken sandwich and basically everything on the menu, but tonight the fish n chips were different and the replacement fries were pitiful! I'm not sure why new management means that the quality of the food needs to decline. Smh. Even the mozzarella sticks... we used to die for them. Tonight, they were horrible. Do better burkes. read more

Never disappointed!!! Great service, food, & drinks.. Many tv's too!! Their chicken sandwich is my go to.

Food is great, service is wonderful! .. I had my daughter's 1st birthday party here and everyone loved the vibe and ambiance. I must say Roslyn is phenomenal - I wish I could give this place more stars!! read more

My favorites place! Super local and walking distance! I normally come for dinner with my family and love the service and food here!!

They have a really good beer selection as well! If you're looking for a place to party Friday and Saturday nights they do a 25 dollar open bar for a couple hours and people LOVE IT! read more

Burke's Restaurant and Bar - Had a hazy little thing and build your own burger!!! - Irish Near Me - Yonkers, New York

I just went an experienced​ the Sunday Brunch and I​ have to say that I​am a​​ fan. I had the eggs benedict​ and my wife had the french toast. The Brunch is the right price, $20 for unlimited Mimosa's, Bloody Mary's or draft beer and one selection off their special menu that included eggs benedict, French toast, ​and corn hash​. I'll give the eggs benedict​ a 3 out of 5 stars. Nothing to call​​l your mom about but also not bad at all. It hit all the marks and​ taste but nothing brought it to the next level. Noting made it special or next level, if you like eggs benedict then you will not be disappointed​. My wife's​ french toast was dry and needed all the syrup was needed to make palatable​ . The star of the show was the drinks! of you will attend Brunch then you need to focus on the deal​ you will be getting on the drinks you will get. From 11 am​ -3 pm​m, ALL YOU CAN DRINK! So drink baby!! They are flavorful​ and the​ service is good so you will not be disappointed​ in how you will be treated. Burkes is a sports bar so all the games are on ​TV and it is a great place to eat and have fun with a group of friends​. read more

One of the best Irish Pub's in Yonkers. If it's on the menu it's great! I recommend the Ribeye, the burger, the wings, and the fish and chips. What ever you're in the mood for, it's here. They even can accommodate vegans. If you're lucky enough to get Jen as your server you're in for a great experience. read more

Burke's Restaurant and Bar - Great Pub, great staff, and excellent food! - Irish Near Me - Yonkers, New York

We went for brunch on a Sunday mid day with a group of ten. I was a little worried when we walked in since the entire place was empty. The decor was your typical sports bar. Plenty of TVs around the walls and the waitress was willing to change channels for us. Definitely would be a cool place to watch football on Sundays. We sat at a high top table that had a keg in the middle. Unfortunately we learned you need to pre order the keg in order to use it and it's $10/person/hour to use. You get to drink as much as you like. We ordered the bottomless drinks which included unlimited mimosas, bloody Mary's, or cans of PBR. $15 for two hours. I ordered the pancakes with banana and strawberries. It came with two large pancakes two pieces of bacon and two pieces of sausage. My boyfriend for chicken and waffles with the chipotle syrup which he said was not too spicy. I tried the fried chicken and it was good! Our waitress was mediocre. She gave us attitude at some points during our meal which confused me since it was not busy at all. We may have been a little needy being a group of 10, but we didn't deserve attitude. She was attentive at the beginning but once we got our meals she wanted nothing to do with us. It was difficult to find her to get drink refills once our meal came. After finally finding her, she said she had to cut us off since our two hours were up. We were not happy! I may come back to try this place during football season when it's probably busier but I'm not about to run back. read more

Love, love, love this place. So warm and welcoming. Sit by the fire. Enjoy traditional dishes and specials. Just enjoy the atmosphere.

Burke's Restaurant and Bar is a superb, and I strongly recommend it. The menu is pretty extensive so will probably be back to try some of the other items. I am really glad that I wound up ordering Prime Rib, it was fabulous, just an outstanding taste. Fabulous. Perfect service and staff. I will definitely be back again next time I'm in area. read more

I put 5 stars because I know Burke's has amazing food, super friendly waitress we had, atmosphere was great. Everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time. I did order the fish as it's my favorite dish thus far, but tonight it was absolutely disgusting. Maybe that's too harsh but I felt like I had cod fillet in a popover. Super soggy, dense, lackluster flavor. I'm not a salt person but that's what I used to be able to eat it. Malt vinegar is what I normally use but since the batter was so soggy I didn't bother. The waitress was very honest and agreed the fish shouldn't have been cooked like that. It's not the waitress' fault for how food is cooked. Vanessa (our waitress) is a lovely young lady and I think she should be acknowledged for having to hear people complain about their meal. We of course DID NOT yell at her or berate her and restaurant. Different chefs/cooks obviously don't cook the same. I will continue to come here and if anyone is reading this long rant lol and your in the area you should try it. read more
