Garvey's is a step above bar food. It's actually, quite frankly, delicious. Yes, it's totally a dive bar inside, dimly lit and such. But the food is another level of good. Get the potato skins and wings; they're the best in the area. A++ read more

Haven't been here in years and friends suggested we join them. So glad we did. We had to wait about 10 min for a table since there were 6 of us but that was fine as we could see how busy they were. Several menu options looked good but we got spinach salad with grilled chicken added and Garvey special sandwich. If you're thinking the spinach salad was the healthy option- think again. Well yes the spinach is healthy but it was loaded with bacon and also had a yummy hot bacon dressing! Delicious however I really liked the sandwich! I mean it was fabulous. They had some type of yummy sauce on it. And lots of meat. This establishment has always had quite a following; our friends said it was always busy. And we may return soon for their burger special since those are supposed to be so good. read more

Hadn't been to Garvey's in a while so I stopped and picked up a house, salad, cheese garlic bread, and pizza. I remember loving the salad and pizza. Yikes what a disappointment. I picked out over half of the lettuce from the salad because it was brown, wilty, or otherwise inedible. The cheese garlic bread was burned. The pizza was just OK. I definitely won't be going back. read more

I have been going to Garvey's for over a decade, always a good meal. Salads are awesome and great people!

I was super excited to try this place as I had heard they have the best wings in the area. We placed an order for two 5lb trashed wings, so 10lbs total. We received two tins of wings that seemed quite light. We placed them on our food scale at home and they both came out to about 52oz. 5lbs would be 80oz. I would never expect it to be exactly 5lbs and could even understand if it was closer to 4. But we ordered 10lbs of wings and received about 6.5lbs. Pretty big bummer. The wings were decent. read more

Great food but keep it a secret so they stay easy to get in the steak sandwich is great and their soups are delicious

So we were sat in the back under the ac unit by the kitchen. I can look beyond that. I ordered their BLT salad that comes with a bacon dressing. The bacon I'm pretty sure was microwaved. The dressing was good served over iceberg, nothing special. Also had the trashed wings. For being trashed they were still rubbery and under seasoned. My partner had the special which was chicken fried steak. He also said his food was very under seasoned, had to use tons of salt and pepper. The waitress was very sweet and had our food very fast and always kept our drinks refilled. After our $54 dollar bill I decided we will not be returning. read more

Best wings in town and it is not relatively close. Everything on their menu is worth a try IMO

A great place to get some bar food with a divey feel in South County. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The trashed wings are my favorite and I like to get them re-tossed in the Buffalo sauce because they retain a crispy texture and the Buffalo sauce adds some additional flavor. I prefer the bleu cheese dressing over their ranch. Also recommend the fries, they are nice and crispy! read more

A lot of food for the price. Meatball sub was delicious and Fried cod sandwich was delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful, since this was our first time visiting. Restaurant is "hole in the wall" with regulars. Very busy. read more

This was a terrific little gem of a mom & pop diner. So quaint and lovely, and I dropped in for a mid-week lunch. Quiet and clean, and a solid menu with nothing flashy--but very good. Our salty-adjacent server recommended the burger with soft cheddar, and she immediately made her way to my holiday cards list. So good! I had a wonderful meal, and this is where I will go next when I'm back in Oakville. read more

Better than expected. I ordered the Hot Pepper Chicken Sandwich and it was pretty tasty. Tryin' to eat healthy, I ordered broccoli for my side. It was delicious. Service was slow, but they were hoppin', so it was understandable. It's a pretty loud place, so don't plan on holding a good conversation. There are other places I would choose over this one though. read more

This is my go to place. I have not had anything bad here. Pizza is outstanding it's St. Louis thin crust style. The burger is really good and make sure you get a side of the bbq sauce for the fries. The trashed wings, I have to say are the best in South County. The Chile Mac is beefy and hearty with a little spice. Service is good for how small the place is. Plenty of TV's to watch a game. read more

Terrific food. Great service. Wonderful family place to eat. Good Stuff. I recommend.

I am obsessed with this place. It's not quite divey but I'll totally be having dinner and a beer at the bar on the regular if anyone want to hang. The chicken medira pizza is heaven. Prob with chicken, bacon, mushroom, garlic and lemon? Yeah, I don't know who created this but I want to hug you and buy you a beer because it's my absolute favorite. Your spaghetti is too legit to quit, too! Your pizza is legit the best. Keep up the amazing work! read more

While visiting friends who live nearby and recommended this place, I actually visited twice on my recent visit to StL. The chicken modigo is really tasty. The chicken modigo pizza is also totally yummy! And the salad with the bacon dressing is out of this world!! Service was great! And we kept them hopping! Will be back next time I'm in town 10/10. read more

The food and service are great. The ambiance is relaxed and pleasant. We liked the pizza, sandwiches, salads. I like Chicken and Rice soup. Soups rotate day to day. The thin crust pizza is yummy. The chicken Modiga bowl is delicious. Service is friendly and they always refill beverages promptly. Food doesn't take too long to get to the table. I highly recommend this place. read more

Stopped into Garvey's Grill in South County for a specific item. I had seen their BBQ Chicken Pizza online. I don't really love chicken but the pizza had a BBQ sauce base and is topped with fried onions. I had to try it. So I ordered it but had them substitute hamburger for the chicken. My pizza had homemade barbecue sauce, cheddar & Monterrey jack cheese topped w/hamburger, bacon, & fried onions. I absolutely loved it. This is nowhere near where I live and I assure you I will return for this. The service was fast and friendly. All of the other food we ordered was good. This is a great little neighborhood place. I'll be back! read more

Stopped by and bought a cheeseburger with American, grilled onions, jalapeños, and LTOP. This place is a hidden time capsule. A lot of cool old Budweiser memorabilia scattered around. Back to the burger, it was good, don't go out of your way, but if you're in the area check it out. read more

Great food every time we order. Sandwiches, wings, salad, it never misses! We usually carry out and they are very fast.

This is a long standing casual restaurant in oakville their spinach salad, spedini bowl and famous trashed wings are amazing! It's not a fancy place. Super casual... dated but so welcoming!!!! read more

Forgettable experience. Not one compliment to write. Don't order the beef brisket sandwich.

Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and green beans with onion and bacon.. $12.00 Special.. It was awesome.. "It has a family-like atmosphere with extremely friendly and efficient service. You can't go wrong at Garvey's." read more

Food is great if you have a bunch of time. Been here multiple times for lunch with plenty of open tables and it still takes a while to get seated. Then god only knows how long for a waiter to come over to you. Refills heck........ have more people work at a time. Covid is over read more

The store front of the restaurant does not face the road, it seems almost hidden in a very small strip mall, two or 3 stores big. I believe it is the wall paper Hanging store that is the store facing the road. I was terribly sad that my breakfast place was closed early so I trusted my little Yelp app to take me to where I could sate my sad, and a bit portly, tummy. This is a great place to have a casual meal with one huge exception... the smell of stale smoke. :( The service is great! The salad's are HUGE! I'm talking about a head of lettuce here! The bowl is bigger then your head. I had half of it and had the rest later for dinner at work and it was still good. My husband had the buffalo chicken wrap and Loved it! The service is great and cute! I don't usually notice the cute part but he looked so much like Jude Law! All I'd do is bake him cookies though. lol. Happens with having a baby brother older then 30, I feel maternal to all younger then my brother. hehe. We will be back to try the hamburgers, as I see that seems to be a favorite. It is a very very causal place and a nice environment when we went. read more

I have been here twice in the past four days to meet up with a couple of fiends who chose where to go. First positives. Food and drink were both good and prices were about the same as other area bars. Negatives: I can not count the number of customers walking around without masks. Unacceptable with the health concerns going on right now. read more

We had pizza that we picked up and drove 5 minutes home and the pizza was cold and not as good as usual. We eat at Garvey's at least 1-2 a month. Our go to restaurant. Maybe just a bad day for them? read more

I find it humorous that your description shows it's a good place for kids & families yet I contacted the owner and spoke with the manager months ago asking for a changing table to be installed in the women's restrooms as there is NO where to change a child in the restaurant. Do you seriously expect us to take our children to the car to do this? You're a good little gem in Oakville and I'd love to support your business but I've contacted your place multiple times to ask if one has been installed and the answer is still NO. I was also told by the owner one was ordered and would be installed, that was seriously at least 4 months ago. Be aware if you're taking your family with children out to eat you won't have a place to change them unless they expect you to use the floor! Super disappointed! read more

Garvey's is so so good. But it sneaks up on you. The first time we went we had the $6 burger special. It was good, but not incredible. The next time we went we tried the chicken modiga pizza and trashed wings. Both amazing. Next up was the chili, seriously probably the best restaurant chili I've had, I just wish it was a little warmer when served. On this trip we also tried a few of their hot sandwiches, so so good. And finally, we tried my two absolute favorites...the chicken modiga wrap and the baroni (hot bacon) salad. These are both to die for. Try them and thank me later! Now we can't stop coming back even if we tried. Everything is just SO GOOD. read more

I always liked Garveys for it's trashed wings, skins and blooming onion. Today I had a chicken breast sandwich....it was actually a chicken nugget patty which was spongy in texture. Fries had flavor but were greasy as if they were refried. Burgers were just ok, kind of tasted like they were made a few hours before we arrived. Disappointed...hope it was an off night. I should've said something but didn't want to make a scene. read more

Great bar food! Just plan on drinking major brand beer because there's little variety and the mixed drinks are really bad. Get your order to go and drink at home read more

Seated promptly. Ordered the Garvey Special. Dipped roast beef, salami, ham melted cheese on garlic bread with a side. I ordered the french fries which were the thin style and crisp. Meal was delivered promptly and was DELICIOUS. Sera was the waitress and was great. Have been here before. Order the "trashed" wings. read more

These guys have my all-time favorite hot wings and my wife likes their pizza more than Imo's. This is one of those gems people find out about and just keep coming back. We've had friends from out of town who still talk about their hot wings. They make "trashed" wings too but I'd go with normal hot wings if it's your first time here. read more

Great food, pizza is amazing. More important is the staff. Extremely friendly and makes everyone feel so welcome. I highly recommend this establishment! I grew up in St. Louis but I live in CA now but I make sure to visit Garvey's every time I'm in town. By the way... TIP YOUR SERVERS WELL! THEY WORK EXTREMELY HARD AND DESERVE IT! read more
