Clodo K.

This place knows how to do a proper salad. I got one with arugula, goat cheese, and roasted beets and it was packed with flavor. Loved how everything tasted fresh and the textures worked well together. The dressing was a light citrus blend that didn't overpower anything. Service was friendly and the vibe inside was relaxed and calm. A solid spot for a light and tasty lunch.

Really awful Rueben.
Scott S.

ust awful. Reuben was served on whole wheat instead of the marbled rye as indicated on the menu. The cheese is white processed American and not Swiss. The corned beef is also highly industrial processed, poor quality, chopped, and the only flavor is salt. The fries were stale and not battered as indicated on the menu. Pickle was good though. The servers were quick and quite nice. TLDR: Food quality continues to go down since the relocation.

Hot hamburger topped with mash (and Guinness gravy)
Debra K.

It had been a LONG time since we visited J Farley's, like honestly maybe October 2019. It's a fun little spot and the food is pretty consistent. Service is always great and they have a nice variety of local brews on tap. We stopped in Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. The Irish Tacos are a must to order. Really interesting in a great way. This time, I felt indulgent and ordered the hot hamburger. Please note that this behemoth of a dish comes with two patties and two large scoops of mashed potatoes. (You can also sub in beer battered fries if you like.) It's all covered with that fabulous Guinness gravy. (I've said it before, just give me a straw for that gravy...it's that good.) It was a LOT of food. The only downfall for me (beside the huge quantity) was the amount of raw onions sprinkled in the dish. I thing sauted onions would be better. Anywhoo, be aware if raw onions aren't your thing.

Bacon and Avocado Grilled Cheese Sandwich with sidewinders
Marli M.

Came here for bingo but got a very full belly too! We came in on a Tuesday night to try and win big with bingo, seriously it was so fun!! Sweet tea was great and you got to keep your cup! I ordered the bacon avocado grilled cheese with sidewinders and all was so so good. The sandwich was perfect, great flavor balance. The sidewinders were crisp and a solid hybrid between a curly fry and wedge. They were short staffed so that was a little challenging. But the heart and story behind this place is really special! Go check it out.

Parmesan crusted pepperjack grilled cheese and chili
Patrick D.

This is such a great local place I wish I could give it a higher score, but it just doesn't deserve it. The local decor devoted to the firemen is great and the place was clean, so it has that going for it. The first time we visited I had the fish and chips, they were OK. Not bad but also nothing to yelp home about. This time I had the Cookstown Chicken and Cabbage. It had good flavor and I liked it, but it wasn't very hot and it wasn't plated well. Basically everything in the ingredient list is all the same color but it had pieces hanging off the edges of the plate and it needed some garnish; chives, fresh parsley, something to give it some plate appeal. They came with green beans which were also tasty but they too were cold. My wife had the chili and a Parmesan crusted pepperjack grilled cheese. She said the chili tasted like it had come out of a can and the grilled cheese was disappointing as well. Finally they service. Our waitress was a nice young lady but I had to ask for tea refills. To her credit, she figured out I must have been dehydrated and kept my glass full after my second refill request. The restaurant wasn't very busy and it seemed like it took longer than it should have to get our order placed and the wait for it to be served at our table. Normally a 2 star review would not warrant another visit but it is Claremore and real choices are limited so we will most likely visit them again on one of our trips back.

Fish and chips. Solid and tasty

Honestly, I debated on whether or not to actually do this review. This restaurant is beloved by so…read moremany in this area and is truly a gem of the cultural tapestry that makes up Tulsa. I know that people have really strong feelings about this place one way or the other so I'm just gonna be brave about this and charge on. It had been several years since I actually had ate here, and my husband had never been, so we made a date of it! As as soon as you walk in the door, you know you're at someplace special. The interior of this restaurant immediately transports you to that green island across the sea. We started our evening with appetizers, one from their OktoberFest menu (the sausage balls) and another from their regular menu (the goat and cream cheese plate). The sausage balls are flavorful and filled with sausage, cabbage, and cheese. It's fried almost like an arancini and they serve three of them with a sauce that neither of us could quite identify, but I'm sure it was on the menu description. I am not a big fan of cabbage, even if it is something that you can't really taste it in so this wasn't my personal favorite. My husband said it needed just a little bit more seasoning, but it was otherwise delicious. Out of the two, my favorite was the goat cheese which was served with a toasted bread. For our mains, I got the classic Guinness steak pie with the brown gravy, and my husband got the fish and chips. Hands-down, you cannot beat this steak pie! The crust was delicious, the filling was seasoned just right and the brown gravy around it was just perfection. For the side I switched out the seasoned vegetables for the green beans. The green beans were still crunchy in a good way, and seasoned with salt pepper and a little bit of garlic. This is brought out in a shareable size and paired well with the hardiness of the steak pie. My husband's fish and chips were unfortunately a little lackluster. For our personal taste, the batter was just a bit too cakey and was really dark. The potato wedges that were served with it were decent. Though for our personal taste, I wish that they had been dropped a little bit longer in the fryer. They have an in-house tartar sauce that they put olives in. If you're like my husband, you might want to steer clear and just grab the malt vinegar or ketchup instead. It wasn't bad, he just doesn't like olives.‍ Our server was really kind and attentive, even though he was running about half of the tables in the restaurant! We definitely will be back to try more of the menu and plan to bring family in as they enjoy an Irish pub scene as well. I'm giving them a 4 star review because I can't give them a 3.5. and I like to round up. I think a lot of of what we experienced was just personal preference and like I said we do plan to come back because we have loved ones who will enjoy this. Overall, a great midweek dining experience.

We opted for this Irish themed pub last night for dinner, and can't say enough about the service, food and atmosphere. McNellie's (sounds Irish, right?) is located on one of the seemingly lonely streets near downtown, and came highly recommended by our hotel barista. The ambiance is definitely Irish-pub--dark wood, old wooden floors and walls of exposed brick--definitely a cool sanctuary from the oppressive summer heat and humidity. And what better way to quench your thirst and beer curiosity than choosing from hundreds of beers both on tap and bottled. For the local beer enthusiasts there is a Centennial club which rewards frequent imbibers with gifts leading up to the coveted pottery mug! Our server, McKayla--was delightful. She definitely enjoyed serving us, and offered recommendations good service and conversation. The summer salad caught my wife's eye, and she enjoyed the fresh mix of roasted pistachios, cheese, watermelon and mango. I jumped at the fish and chips, which I can honesty was the best I've ever had--topping what we had years ago at an English pub by a mile. McNellie's fish portion was large, and the batter was flavorful and cooked to perfection. I was a little surprised with the small portion of chips (fries), as most establishments seem give you lot, but I guess I was thankful in a way. With some beer left in our glasses, we decided to order a plate of fries (white and sweet) for desert! If you like beer and good Irish comfort food, McNellie's is a sure bet!

It is a small and well run pub with a happy hour from 11 to 7 everyday. I didn't ask if anything else is discounted during happy hour, but domestic beer is $2.50. We sat at the bar and Katlin took good care of us. She told us all about the pub and the various activities they have. There's live music on Fridays, but as yet, no Celtic music. Maybe in the future. Monday is music bingo, Wednesday is Trivia night. Thursday is karaoke night. They have plans in the future for Saturday nights. The customers were very friendly and polite. Many seem to know each other. A man showed up and was loudly greeted by his friends. This appears to be a Cheers type of pub where everyone knows your name and they're very glad you came. O'Brien's has a small menu of bar food. The cook didn't come in today, but Katlin was able to cook us up some dynamite wings. I noticed they have some speciality drinks which I look forward to trying. We look forward to our next visit.

I will NEVER go back and I'll be filing a report with the BBB. Worst bar in Tulsa hands down

Only visible staff was the bartender (owner?). She was a terrific waitress. Love those $4 martinis. Hubby ordered his fav fish & chips, I ordered the "Black & Blue" flatbread. I would have sent back his whole plate. Instead of toasty brown everything was burnt. The black & blue: some great flavor from the cheese, tomatoes, pickled red onion, nonmemorable horseradish sauce, pretty presentation. My opinion, leave off what little steak there is. Adds nothing to the flavor, only some tough chew bites. The crust: I know there's argument here. I'm usually for good char on a pizza (I've had pizza all around Italy). But this was burnt and smelled burnt. Disappointed? Way. We'd wanted to get there for some time. I'm still intrigued by some of their menu items. We may give them another chance and view this as a very off day.
