Callahan's Irish Bistro - Celebrating St Patrick's day with my man - Irish Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

It was a busy Friday night and there was no hostess. Maybe they were short staffed for the evening but it didn't look like much urgency from the servers. We stood at the front door for a solid 15 minutes before even being acknowledged. The place was full but there were a couple of empty tables needing to be cleaned. When we were finally sat, no one did a drive by to let us know about drinks or ordering. Another 10 minutes and we ended up leaving. The place was lively and a band was on stage which was set up for half the restaurant. I can appreciate that set up so the whole restaurant is not in front of the band. It felt like a lot of locals which is great for them. Maybe this isn't a spot to consider if you don't have hours to hang out. Unfortunately, we weren't able to dine so can't comment on the food. read more

We've been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. Today was a "game day" Sunday, $5 margaritas, pizzas, and other specials. We sat outside on a surprising warm Sunday in January. We sat at patio tables surrounded by a bar topped fence. A perfect party spot! After some tasty pretzel bites with beer cheese dip, we opted for the white shroom pizza and added ham and green pepper. The garlic aioli was the final touch on a very tasty 8 inch "tavern pizza." We topped off the visit with some delicious warm bread pudding loaded with whip cream and soaked in a marvelous liquor called Shanky's Whip. Service is friendly and efficient good. We'll be back soon! read more

We held our April 2026 Red Hat luncheon here--one of our chapter's favorites! The service was friendly and attentive and all the food was delicious! I usually have the Tavern Pizza but tried the chicken sandwich this time and it was great! The decor is Celtic and the background music is enjoyable. We always are glad we come here!! read more

Excellent from beginning to end. Waitress very kind. Family atmosphere. Corned beef and cabbage was excellent. The moistest corn beef I have ever had-fork split. Great smashed potatoes and gravy. Bangers and mash excellent as well. Portions good size as well. Thank you so much! You won't be disappointed! read more

I stopped in to have dinner with my family. Once inside, we were greeted and seated right away. Both appetizers we ordered were delicious. We ordered the shrimp basket and also a spinach dip with soft warm pita bread. I opted for fish and chips as my main entree and it didn't disappoint. The fish was nice and crispy on the outside, this came out well seasoned. Our server kept our drinks full and there was live music. It was a fun evening at Callahan's!! read more

Back in today. I had the Reuben the last time and it was fantastic. Today, I decided to try the wings. Not an easy decision after spending five years living in Buffalo. I had five Garlic-Parm, and five Buffalo. They did not disappoint! In fact, I'd say the best around here by far! And as always, fantastic service. read more

Callahan's Irish Bistro - Irish Near Me - Orange Park, Florida

Located in the back end of a somewhat dead strip mall this place is a somewhat hidden gem. Has golf cart parking for the locals living in OPCC. When I walked in I was greeted by a very friendly waitress that seated my family away from an incoming 21st birthday party so we would be able to visit with each other without trying to talk over a big party, which we appreciated. We started our meal by sharing a giant pretzel. It was perfection with a toasted crunchy crust a hot doughy center. I decided on the bangers and mash which I feel is a must anytime trying a new Irish pub or restaurant. The best part of the dish was the bangers and the sauerkraut that covered the bangers. (So good!) The mash was just ok but the gravy had good flavor. The cabbage on the plate I could do without because it wasn't cooked through and had no seasoning. My father definitely recommends the fish and chips. I didn't sample it but it looked good. My mother likes their shepherds pie. I did sample that, it tasted good but I thought it was a bit runny like a stew. I definitely will be back to try some different dishes and sample some brews. read more

Really nice neighborhood pub. The Irish egg rolls were filling and delicious. The reuben sandwiches are terrific and the corn beef is made in house. It could use a tad more thousand island dressing. The cole slaw is great and they add their own twist with pineapple. Our server, Megan, did a fabulous job. read more

Walked in had a relaxed bar vibe. Got greeted and seated pretty quickly. Since it was our first visit we chose a couple different items to try. We ordered 2 appetizers: one being the fried zucchini sticks that came with ranch dipping sauce and it was definitely hot and fresh, I added salt, but I would order again. Next the Dubliner which had 3 different items. First the Irish eggrolls described as corned beef, cabbage and mozzarella rolls, secondly some corned beef and cabbage and lastly some shepherds pie. I do think a lot of restaurants would 50% better in their food if they would season it. That's where this food lacked. Salt and pepper would go a HUGE way. The egg rolls would benefit from not having the mozzarella in it, maybe cheddar or a cheese with better flavor. The cabbage was bland, the corned beef was good and made better with their mustard. That's was delicious! I did also enjoy their shepherds pie. If I return I would definitely order that as an entree. He ordered the fish and chips. Described as hand breaded white haddock served with pub fries. He did add salt and pepper and he added malt vinegar and it was good. Very fresh, hot and the crust very crispy. Definitely on a return trip would order again, I also got the Reuben sandwich. The corned beef and cabbage and thousand island dressing. Wasn't enough dressing thankfully extra came with our appetizer plate so I just added extra. It was juicy and good. Would order that again. It was also Tuesday night which is karaoke night would definitely come closer to that time. They must have a lot of them are regulars there. The singing was good!!! Not conducive for quiet conversation and though! Fun environment to be in though! Would visit this place again for the great service and fun vibes. Willing to try other food there. read more

This place sits back behids some other businesses right off Blanding BLVD and Kinglsey. The wife and I stopped in for dinner as we had seen it a few times but never went in to eat. The food was amazing. Some of the best corned beef we'd ever had. The service was good and it wasn't crowded or loud. We like checking out the decor. Food and drink prices seem great for the area. After a couple drinks, apps, and to entrees I think we paid $60ish with a tip. We wi definitely be back. read more

Being that that Professor was in town and I let her drive a pre meal beverage was going to a necessity. They advertise lots of Irish whiskeys, but thankfully they had a nice Kentucky bourbon as well. Even came to the table over a large rock which was appreciated. The Professor enjoyed Dr Pepper as Pepsi products are offered here. Our appetizer choice was pretzel bites with beer cheese. Generous quantity of tasty, salty nuggets covered in cheesy goodness...what more could you ask for? Sometimes at other places they can be greasy; not so here. Entree selections were fish & chips and shepards' pie. The fish review was good but the filets could've used a bit more salt. The accompanying fries were crispy and well seasoned. No complaints for the shepard's pie. Both dishes were nice portions, to go containers were used for leftovers. The service was friendly, we will return! read more

Met a friend and ate here for the first time for lunch. It was a beautiful day outside and it is really dark inside this restaurant. It does have great decorations and theme. We were recommended the Reuben and the pineapple Cole slaw. Both I was told were house made. The Reuben was above average and I liked the pineapple Cole slaw a lot. We ordered sides of fries and were very good. We had 4 hippie beers that we really liked. The waitress was excellent and very friendly! I gave 4 stars because for lunch the bill was very high in my opinion. Also I didn't like how dark it was in the restaurant. It is worthy of coming back. read more

Awesome pub with good food and a great Irish vibe. It's nice to have a local Irish pub.

We dined in on a weeknight. We were seated promptly and had friendly, attentive service. We thought the onion rings were just okay but the zucchini sticks were delicious. The fish and chips were generous in their portion with a good cook on the fish. The veggie burger was also good, made of actual veggies and served on a toasted bun. We enjoyed the pineapple coleslaw as a unique change up from fries. The shepards pie was topped with creamy homemade mashed potatoes. The bar was full of what looked to be regular guests having a great time. Aside from the restaurant being on the dark side lighting wise and the booths not having a place to rest your feet (they're the height of a high top) we enjoyed our experience and would go back. read more

Fantastic first time here! Will be back! First off, patio is dog friendly with water and treat provided. Ambiance is casual but not too much. We both had zucchini fries to start. Very tasty and dogs loved them too. Very generous portion. Fish was delish. The batter is incredibly light and crunchy. Doggos agreed on the cronch! Malt vinegar was on hand. Hooray! Service was perfect with water and treat for Doggos. Fries looked hand cut, crisp and just right amount of saltiness. Service was fast and friendly and the prices were fantastic. We took tons home for later and got a shepherds pie to go as well. With tip, well under $100.00. read more

We love this place - the vibe, thefood, the people -10/10! We've had a handful of items: French onion soup - amazing BLT - fantastic Pretzel bites - yes please Spinach artichoke dip - yum And our daughter loves the kids chicken fingers and fries.

We stopped in for lunch hoping to beat the St Patrick's Day rush and we did (barely). We have been here before for dinner on a couple of occasions. The ambiance was good. I was not impressed with the high volume / low quality setup for the day. My first time trying shepherds pie and it came slopped in a paper bbq bowl with plasticware. Luckily it tasted way better than it looked. Jordan did a great job as server, very friendly and helpful! read more

This place is in the corner of shopping center and wasn't very busy on a Saturday during lunch. We enjoyed the casual vibe with its pub look. The fish was crispy on the outside with a nice batter.

We found this place by chance driving by. This is seriously some of the best food I have had in a very long time! The Shepard pie was great and the smashed potatoes had a few lumps which I love. Even the kids chicken nuggets were very tender and well cooked. I will 100% be back and bring my parents. Our waitress was a the sweetest woman that gave my daughter a Christmas sticker. It was comfortable and makes you feel comfortable. I think we found our favorite restaurant in Orange Park. read more

Another great dining experience! This time we went at lunch. I ordered the Salmon Wellington and garlic mashed potatoes. The meal was very tasty - the pastry shell melted in your mouth. Friends ordered the fish sandwich (it was so big she had to eat it with a fork) and Shepherds Pie. We started out the meal with the Charcuterie board (which was a meal in itself - easily serving four as an appetizer). Charles and Madison took care of us, adding much to our dining experience. Bathroom was clean (you can tell a lot about a restaurant and customer service by the toilet paper - they passed the test). Overall great experience and we will be back! read more

Great little spot for a simple bite. Not quick but the ambiance is there, and the servers are super nice.

Stopped in with a group of 8. We had 5 separate tickets. Normally this would cause issues. The staff at Callaghans was able to easily handle it with poise and positivity. The food was fantastic and the beer flowed freely. Having lived in Orange Park most of my life, it is amazing to have a place like this here in our own backyard. Can't recommend it enough. read more

I was really excited to give this place a try, it had been a while since I've had fish and chips and this place seemed genuine, authentic and very frequented with relatively good reviews so being in Jax on business, I wanted to make a stop here with my family. There was plenty of good and some not-so-good. Also, I want to iterate that I'm being constructive because this is a beautiful place with beautiful people, you should definitely go, but the entrees that we got specifically could use huge improvement. Let's get the bad out of the way: I came for the fish and chips and they absolutely DIDN'T DELIVER. Batter and fish itself was flavorless and a bit too oily and greasy. I get it's fried fish at the end of day, but even the Harry Potter area at Universal delivered leaps and bounds beyond this dish and it's a theme park. This was a huge let down because I really was looking forward to a new standard being set, but it fell short - chips/fries were good though. I don't ever leave anything on my plate, even if it's not great, but I took two bites of the fish and left it. They were very kind and understanding to take it off the final bill. My wife's pasta Alfredo was better and edible, but top three most bland either of us has ever had, both Alfredo and chicken breast were under seasoned. Alfredo is tough to get wrong and unfortunately this one isn't great but it this could partly be out fault for getting pasta in an Irish place. Honestly, even my son's tenders were bland, which is wild because typically those are sure fire. If we ever came back around, we'd order something else and I'd recommend absolutely avoiding the fish and chips and not going for the pasta - Maybe the Shepard's Pie if the gravy is flavorful or the French Dip Sandwich which has never missed for me anywhere. Now that all that is out of the way, let me talk about the positive because there was genuinely so much of it. Our server, Wendy, was so kind and attentive, we had our toddler with us and she was so engaging with him and a gentlemen who appears to be the manager came by with a tic tac toe toy that he loved - this was very nice. This definitely seems like a spot that locals love and we felt welcomed and taken care of. Because of the service itself, we would consider giving it another try next time we're in town. But some of the food was actually very good. The star of the night was the French Onion Soup - WOW! Absolutely exceptional flavor, texture of onion rendered down and whatever else is in there is beautiful. It was more than the typical rainy Florida afternoon and we got swamped in the drive up 95 so this savory, rich, comforting soup hit the spot. Even if you just stop by for the soup, it's well worth it. The buffalo wings were great too! All in all, great service and ambiance - welcoming to families, but I'm sure you can get a nice genuine pub experience sitting at the bar. Do your homework on entrees and if something isn't right, they'll make it right - they'd do well tweaking some key entrees, especially fish and chips. Service in incredible. read more

Great decor, with that said. The booths seat were designed at high (cocktail) table height, so your feet dangle and there is no ledge or rail. Service on a Sunday around 1230 was outstanding. Note: I prefer to finish my appetizer before my main comes out. First time I have had a Rueben sandwich with shredded corn beef, hard to keep the meat on the sandwich compared to traditional sliced corn beef. The corned beef was flavorful and tasty. The Bavarian Pretzel with warm cheese sauce was spectacular. It was also accompanied by a Dijon and sweet mustard. I would come back and try some of the other fare which appealed on the menu. read more

I recently visited Callahan's Irish Bistro for lunch after a previous attempt left me without a seat because the place was too packed. This time, I lucked out--though, interestingly, we originally wanted to try another spot, but they couldn't accept card payments. Callahan's wasn't busy at lunch, so we gave it another go. The first thing you might notice is the quirky entrance situation: the "normal" door is locked, and many people--including us--ended up confused trying to get in. Once inside, the atmosphere feels like a dimly lit tavern, with low lighting and tinted windows. It's so dark, I half-wondered if a flashlight would come in handy! We were seated in a booth, and as someone on the taller [Bigfoot] side, I found myself feeling like a toddler--my feet were dangling off the floor. It was a little awkward, but nothing that ruined the experience. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and it was a welcome change to see plenty of open seating compared to my last visit when the place was packed. That said, I get the vibe that Callahan's is more of a pub or bar, and the lunch crowd seemed more relaxed. I ordered the fish and chips with a pretzel as an appetizer. The fish was flaky with a crunchy batter, served in a generous portion. The fries were a bit soft for my taste, but that was quickly remedied by drenching them in malt vinegar, which I loved. The pretzel? Massive! It came with a side of beer cheese and two types of mustard--both coarse and sweet. The beer cheese was thick and perfect for dipping, though maybe a little too thick if you were expecting something for like a side bowl of soup [ not on menu as soup]. All in all, I'd definitely come back here for lunch, but I imagine the evenings could get a bit too packed for my taste. If you're looking for solid pub food in a relaxed setting (as long as you don't mind the low lighting), Callahan's is a great pick. read more

The food, the service and the ambience were better than expected. This was our first time there, and we were greeted immediately and we're given a choice of where we would like to sit. There was a large party there, but there was still plenty of seating options available. I ordered the special of the day which was salmon with a glaze sauce and mashed potatoes. I was very pleasantly surprised that it was so delicious! The mashed potatoes were amazing also! And to reiterate, I cannot say enough about how pleasant the staff is. We truly felt like we were almost part of their family the moment we walked in! We will definitely be frequent in this place often. read more
