Food is always so good. I love the chicken tacos and when they give you pork rinds with a special sauce. AMAZING FOOD

We had a great time tonight at J. O'Grady's. Took my family for dinner and were seated immediately. Had drinks and appetizers within just a couple minutes. Our server was extremely helpful in answering questions about the menu and made sure to accommodate every special request we had regarding food. Ordered the shrimp tacos, and they were outstanding. The only thing stopping this from being a five star night was the dinner entree being served without a side. The price I paid for 3 shrimp tacos with only 3-4 shrimp per taco should have been enough to include fries. I had to pay 3 bucks for a side of fries with my meal. The fries and tacos were delicious though, and the service couldn't have been better. Great experience at J. O'Grady's - we will definitely be back. read more

Onions rings are a must, black bean burger is absOlutely delicious. Service was excellent..

Great food, awesome service! Nikki was out server and was super nice and kept our drinks full! Can't wait to too back and try the tacos!

Great downtown bar! We like to eat and walk around the main street around there. Bacon Beer Ice Cream is the best!!!

Alright, let's bump them up a star. This time, the Bartender was actually behind the bar working, not out back smoking. Burger was good as always. They could improve by actually having a beer list, instead of directing people to a website (tacky), but the bartender was providing good advice to folks on what beers they would like, so I can't really complain. read more

It's ok. Slow to seat, slow to serve. Most everything is served with plastic ware. They even served wine in a plastic cup. No thanks.

Excellent service, drinks prepared perfectly and easily the BEST burger of my entire life!! I ordered "Clye The Glide" because I adore bacon and a fried egg on a burger. It did not disappoint!! Burger cooked to perfection and their homemade rolls are the best! If you're visiting Sumter don't waste your time on the many chain establishments on Broad Street... drive straight downtown to J. O'Grady's! read more

Good food selection. Place was empty when I went probably due to covid. They have a Guinness sign up but only cans...that was a little disappointing from a typically Irish sounding place. read more

Worst restaurant experience in my 25 years of existence!!! So me, my husband and 2 little boys came to visit family in Sumter for the day and wanted to finish it off with a good meal before heading back to Ft Stewart, GA (just a short 3 hour drive... No big deal). We picked this restaurant solely on Yelp reviews and we wanted to try something local instead of a chain restaurant. We met up with my aunt, uncle and 2 girls, so a total of 7 people plus infant at 7:30 and were immediately told that we have to eat outside because there's not enough space inside the restaurant, no big deal, the hostess could have been nicer about it but it was a nice evening( before we sat there for over an hour and it looked like it was going to pour down any second and it got too dark to really see what our food looked like). That was just strike 1. But at this point the place is starting to get full so the reviews have to be correct... WRONG! Before I rant any more, I completely understand it's not 1 person who is at fault. So we won't completely blame our waitress. So fast forward to an hour and ten minutes later.... We've placed our order, gotten a refill or two on our lemonades and that's it. Food is continuously being brought out, but we're still waiting. The one other table that was outside on our side has gotten their food like 20 minutes ago, they're actually almost completely done and were still waiting( hince they came in about 15 minutes after we were seated) At this point I'm still not annoyed, just hungry but optimistic. Now what got me, I guess strike 2, our waitress just kept walking by us, besides giving us the initial 2 lemonade refills she never came back out to update us on the status of our food, apologize for the extremely long wait or anything. Now the last straw and why I will never be back even though the food looks amazing is, so our food finally comes! Haha yea right, that sounds too easy. My aunt, uncle and two girls got half of their food, now the reason why I say half their food is because they got their burgers but not the fries because according to our waitress "they ran out", and then it was "they just put them in". Now the fries did not come until they were pretty much done with their meal... My husband, myself and 4 year old son got to sit and watch them eat. At this point 850 my son is crying and not understanding why his cousins get to eat and our food is nowhere in sight, at this point I'm just completely fed up! Since our blonde waitress was nowhere in sight at this point and the waitress bussing the table next to us had 0 interest in helping us I went to speak to the hostess and was told our food should be coming shortly... what restaurant feels it's ok to serve half the table and let the other half just sit there and watch?! A minute or 2 ok I get it, but it took me going in there a second time at 9 for them to all of a sudden have our orders a fish taco and 2 burgers with fries, not a complicated order at all. At that point I'm ready to pay for our lemonades and my sons fish taco because my husband and I lost our appetites and sent our food back. And what put the icing on the cake was again, there was no type of apology or anything from our waitress and I asked for the check, and she charged us full price. The only highlight was after her sorry customer service and lack of remorse, being that I've worked and managed in the customer service field for the last eight and a half years I was able to speak to the manager and if nothing else at least let him know how poorly we were treated. He even comped not just our bill but my aunts which I was not wanting out of it or expecting and at least he apologized even if he didn't mean it. Me and my husband left without eating a thing. And just drove right back to ft Stewart on an empty stomach. read more

Just had dinner here, good food at a good price. Nothing fancy but good selection of burgers and beers and other edibles. Onion rings rock

It was such a great place!!! We've been here for about a year and heard so much about this place so we decided to finally try it out! Right when we opened the door the hostess had a big smile on her face! Didn't get her name our server Ashley was so sweet! She helped us with what to get and I'm so glad she has great taste because it was delicious!!!!! I didn't ever make it to the bottom of my drink because she was always checking up on us! Definitely coming back!!! read more

This restaurant is definitely one of the better places to eat in Sumter. They have a fun and unique burgers, and some great pulled-pork tacos. My husband and I really enjoy eating here due to their food and fun atmosphere. There service has also been very good every time we have visited.... they do not try to rush you out! I do want to give the warning that is freezing inside if you go when it is cold. Brr... read more

Simply put. Burgers are awesome. Service is great. Numerous beers and drinks.

I've eaten here before and liked the food. My wife and I stopped in to eat lunch. We were seated on the patio and then.......nothing. We were completely ignored. Waited over 20 minutes. Not one server acknowledged us. Won't be back. read more

I had the Pacific Islander Tacos and they were bomb! The sauce was good, the swordfish was cooked just the way I asked, and the grill pineapple played in perfectly with it. I also got the O'Brady Cooler. It was a mediocre mixed drink, but I will definitely be coming back. read more

Who knew one could find such a place in sumter! Pork rinds with pimento cheese were a great start and the burgers are fantastic. Tried a beef and a black bean, both very good. Topped off with a vanilla ice cream with bacon, stout reduction and nuts... Unreal! Please support this place, sumter needs a place like this. read more

Very nice and friendly staff! You will feel welcomed from the moment you step foot into the door. Jim one of the bartenders was very helpful with pointing out what's their best sellers on the menu and giving us a little history of the place. All of the pictures and memorabilia on the walls are from the Sumter Hall of Fame! Our waitress Dary'n was nice and friendly. She made sure that we were well taken care of. They have a wide selection of beers to choose from and the food is wonderful. We had their "Fork & Knife" burgers with fries which comes with a side of garlic aioli for dipping. We also had the homemade pork rinds with homemade Roasted Pimento Cheese dip. Their burgers are truly special and specially named like The P'15 or Sammy Way. If you're in the downtown Sumter area you must drop by for a bite to eat and a cold drink. You will fall in love with this place. read more

If you want a great burger and fries, good service and lots of knowledge about former New York Yankee 2nd Baseman Bobby Richardson this is the place to go! Seriously the burger I had was excellent and the fries with garlic aioli were wonderful. As for Bobby, this is where he was from so they are pretty proud of that around here. read more

Great restaurant, great service. I sat at the bar and the bar manager was very friendly and helpful, in spite of a full house. I had the patty sandwich (can't remember what it was called, but it was a patty with grilled onions, mushrooms, and an egg which was cooked perfectly. Next time I'm in Sumter- I'm coming back!! read more

Our server, Erika B was wonderful! I had a black bean burger - Fall Classic. It was amazing! I loved it! It came with a knife holding it together. Of course, you need it to cut it to eat it! My husband had the Cannerella beef burger. He thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I only have one small disappointment, our fries could have been more crisp. The atmosphere and decor was fantastic. This was our first time here but definitely not our last! Best burgers in Sumter! read more

We had a 45 minute wait for our 2 burgers and a quesadilla. I wish I could say it was worth the wait. JOGs is fine for a burger place but not 45 minutes after ordering fine. Lesson learned. read more

Went on a Friday night around 6 and were seated right away. Our waitress was great. She was attentive, friendly and helpful with suggestions on the menu since it was our first time. She comped us a free half size app because it was our first time visiting which was fantastic. Fries with bleu cheese bbq ranch and bacon. I got the black bean coach moodys heater with Cole slaw and it was right on point. Definitely one of the best black bean burgers I have had. The burger had a nice amount of heat that was cooled by the Cole slaw. My husband got the beef burger game cock city with fries and he thought it was cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back. This is a great treasure of sumter! read more

Great service and beer selection. Nice outdoor patio seating. Pork rinds had a nice kick to them. Unfortunately the burgers left much to be desired. The build your own sandwich menu was very promising with almost endless topping choices. But the burger patties were thin, overcooked and didn't have much flavor. The fries with garlic aioli were good. I wished I had room to try the bacon and beer ice cream for dessert. read more

Probably the best thing to hit the old downtown area since the Brick Street Café. Really nice bar and a great menu of burgers & soft tacos offering Carolina BBQ or sweet bbq. Both are excellent. Good selection of beers too! I'll be back! read more

Food is okay not accommodating to kids was told I couldn't keep my stroller but they don't have high chairs so not sure what they expect for kids. No kids menu and very limited overall menu for the price i would go to the Hamptons for lunch. Don't have a beer menu and tell you took look up the beer on you're phone. Don't eat outside because you will be swarmed by flys. read more

The food (burgers all I have order the three times I have been there) were actually extremely good, very large, full of flavor and their fries were also great with a fresh taste, (you can just tell when they are fried in there own separate oil which these obviously are and when they are not) I like almost everything except for the fact that it is basically a great restaurant in a dark bar. As much as I like the food and I really really do, I would not call the atmosphere family friendly. Great food, average cleanliness, nice staff, bar atmosphere. read more

Amazing food, great service! They make their own pork skins, of which you get a complimentary bucket when you arrive. They are so good!! Then...there are the burgers! Oh. My. Goodness! There are so many options and terrific toppings from which to choose. Their fries are good, but I regret not trying the loaded potato salad. I guess that gives me a good excuse to return! I loved the booths and the decor. We visited on a Monday at noon, so parking was a breeze. We will definitely return! read more

I really liked this place. They have a short list of craft beers, but unlike placed that has a beer list of hundreds, the bartender, Channing, knew each of the brews intimately and was more than willing to spend time to help you pick your beer. The young ladies working the floor were bubbly and quick with service. They even have live music starting after 6pm. Now the food. I had a burger and fries. It came with a garlic aioli dipping sauce that married up well with the fries. A bit salty for me, but very good. The burger itself was excellent, on sourdough toast with bacon, a fried egg, and ghost pepper jack cheese. The cheese was hot, but he excellent draft beer kept the heat in check, making the entire experience quite delightful. J O'Grady's has only been around for a couple years, but based upon the crowd they had on a Monday night, they will have a very bright future. read more

The grilled shrimp salad, while tasty, is not worth the $11 they charge for take out. It has approx. five and a half shrimp in it. 1 broken up over cooked onion ring, 2 soggy pita chips, 8 croutons from a bag, 3 pieces of diced tomato, and 50 slivers of romaine. Very disappointing. Will not order again. read more
