This place takes me right back to the kind of Texas bar experience I love -- good spirits, good food, and even better company. The atmosphere is welcoming, the drinks are flowing, and the service keeps everything moving without missing a beat. read more

Kenny's Irish Pub - Comfort Food Near Me - Countryside, Illinois

Great local dive bar. It's spacious with good lively suburbs energy on weekends. We came after the big Irish parade with a big group and were treated well with quick constant service. Excellent bar food to share as well - the nachos plate is truly one of the better bar nachos I've had, with loads of melted cheese and plenty of toppings. The ceasar salad was great too with actual fresh lettuce (sometimes hard to get at a dive bar). The spinach and artichoke dip is tasty and delicious when consumed hot and fresh. The tots and fries are great - the crinkle cut kind. Drinks are pretty decent too! They make a great margarita and aperol spritz. A fun suburbs find! read more

Kenny's Irish Pub - Nachos - Comfort Food Near Me - Countryside, Illinois

I used to come to Kenny's when I lived in the area and loved the fun atmosphere, value driven menu items, and tasty yet simple food. Revisiting tonight left me feeling disappointed to have to leave a 2 star review. A local high school playoff game left Kenny's staff organization and service subpar. Their team was hustling to keep up but simply couldn't with demand of an unexpected full house. Upon arrival, we quickly saw it was packed and loud. We sat ourselves at a table and after 15 minutes of no one coming to us, I went to find our own menus. We flagged down a server who unkindly told us we weren't her table. When our server did come, we decided to order everything at once to not delay. Our appetizer came out with our entrees which was disappointing and then had to ask for silverware. Our server never checked in on us once we got our food but only when we needed the bill and a box. Thankfully we didn't need refills on our drinks but waiting another 10 minutes just to pay our check. The only saving grace was the food. Their menu offerings are simple but tasty. I've never seen them this crowded when I've visited in the past but sadly I wish I had dined somewhere else tonight. I hope my next trip back when in the area can prove to be an improvement from tonight! read more

Tatiana was our server and she was very good. The cheese curds came out right away and were delicious. For a Thursday night this place was really LOUD and super busy. Lots of TVs with sports on. A bit too noisy to be able to have a conversation at your table but the food is good. I was pleased to see a veggie burger on the menu so I had that with Jack cheese and house made chips. My friends ordered a club sandwich and a turkey burger. They were pleased with their meals as well. Cheap drinks here which is always a bonus. read more

Very clickish bar food ok some bartenders think this is their basement Nice costumers one owner ‍

Service is always great. Their daily food specials and is well worth going to enjoy. Plenty of TVs to watch various sporting events

Went on st paddy's day, by far the worst corned beef on the planet, get this , carrots were dipping carrots from a bag , hard, no boiled potatoes , fried wedges instead, corned beef was fatty, and dry, I mean dry, and the portion was skimpy for 20.00. Never again, poor excuse for an Irish bar. read more

We're here today, We'll I must say, the worst corned beef plate ever, meat was dry, no flavor, the carrots came out of a bag, they were dipping carrots, cabbage zero flavor, get this the potatoes were wedged cut fries, really?, what happen to the boiled potatoes, if this is an Irish bar and food, then I'm king Louie, Horrible, I'll never have the corned beef again. Owner please read this , people at the other tables were also talking how bad the corned beef was. So Bad. read more

What a joy this place is the food here is absolutely amazing. They have an abundance of choices of sides to choose from whenever you're ordering anything. Bar can be kind of loud at times, but the staff manages it pretty well. Teddy did a great job behind the bar tonight and should be commended maintaining that my beverages were full. Their mainstay for soup choices is French onion soup and to be honest it's one of the best bowls I've ever had. read more

Kenny is a fantastic Irish American pup . Guinness is good, the services is excellent, and they have great deals on food every day. Things are way crowded after 7 o'clock on weekends. It is really busy because everybody likes the service and the food. There is a good amount of TVs and a great outdoor patio too. I always stop for Guinness after going in for a haircut. It's a nice little spa day for me. Check it out, it's a great little place. read more

Kenny's has really uped their food game in the past year. Your classic bar, but really good food that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Our server was great despite how busy it was. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Stopped for lunch. First time here but have driven past it many times over the years. What a mistake that was. Had the nachos and was immediately transported to heaven. Thin chips with plenty of cheese and toppings. Happiness in every bite. Our waitress was very kind and attentive as well. Will definitely be visiting much more often to try more menu items. read more

Really bad. Ignored a senior customer who just wanted a cold beer and a sandwich on the patio on a nice summer afternoon. Waitress repeatedly looked around and waited on the few tables that were occupied, but never once offerred me any help whatsoever, so I finally left and went to eat elsewhere. What A-holes. read more

Consistent and good cheap food .great daily specials offered also.................,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The food here is delicious and priced well. Would love to come here again. The drinks are also very well priced. I always have a good time with the locals here. read more

It's a vibe -- suddenly transported back to college, pick a state school / fav gathering hole where 18 gets you in / "21" gets you a drink -- that's the vibe. Questioned my own ripe young age of 43 for 63 seeing the youth hydrating in this irish old school doozer. That said, drinks are cheap, staff is nice enough, & bathrooms ain't dirty (weird when you walk in on 5 guys who look 19 passing a vape around though) read more

Service is quick and accurate. The boasted chicken dark meat is the best! Friendly staff.

waitress double charged me and had a horrendous attitude when confronted. My bill had 6 double bourbons in it, so either she willingly served me TWELVE SHOTS, or she messed up the bill. She doubled down and told me she was right and I had 6 drinks in the 90 min I was here. I said "okay", paid it, left no tip, and let the BBB know. What an absolutely ridiculous encounter. read more

Smoking is allowed on the dining patio with food service. When asked to have patrons to stop smoking, the waiter informed us that he could not ask the patron to stop smoking IL Law states that Smoking is prohibited in a restaurant, bar and any area where food, beverages, or both, are prepared or served by employees, including outdoor areas such as patios, beer gardens, decks, or rooftops or concession areas read more

Went to enjoy today's Bears game and chose to sit and eat/drink on the back patio since it was so nice outside. We were very disappointed in the managment staff who allowed patrons to smoke on the patio in direct violation of Illinois law. The law clearly states "Smoking is prohibited in a restaurant, bar and any area where food, beverages, or both, are prepared or served by employees, including outdoor areas such as patios, beer gardens, decks, or rooftops or concession areas ". This was a pretty big let down to us, who are also regulars. When inquiring we were told management allows it - even though "no smoking signs" were also displayed.. read more

I was really pleased with this place that I used for catering! We ordered Italian beef and lemon chicken. I had a few questions and called. Tiffany was so helpful, informative and friendly! They called me the day of pickup to confirm my order and the guy was also very friendly! When we arrived, two servers loaded our car. The food was all delicious and everyone was pleased. My only advice is that the prices on the online menu were wrong (the online prices were less than the actual price). Nonetheless, the prices were still fair! I would just recommend updating the menu. read more

Been here a few times before to visit amazing bartending staff like patty Sloan and Kris Langer. Now Johnny rooster is bartending like a champ. I hear the amazing beautiful Kristina bartends on mon and wens. Anyways. I had the chicken parm. Didn't think it was gunna be that good, then bam, party in my mouth. Delicious!!! I'll be back again for it on a day with their chicken dumpling soup or cream of chicken. KEEP HUSTLIN read more

Kenny's Irish Pub - Breaded chicken parm on garlic bread. - Comfort Food Near Me - Countryside, Illinois

Not to bad food was actually good. Flavor of the pizza was nice . I don't belive the meatballs was home made but they was pretty good, The marinara sauce was really good that came with the meatballs. I do feel the potatoe skins was shorted you don't even get two whole potatoes for the order... onion rings was good had big onions slices. Buffalo chicken sandwich was a nice side chicken & beef was good a bit small though read more

My dining companion felt like corned beef, so we went to this place based on recommendations that I found on Yelp. Very disappointing. Sunday night and the place was packed. Very loud. Service was good. and our server was friendly. Drinks were small. The first round was weak and the second round was way too strong. Selection of bourbon could've been better. We ordered the pretzel bite appetizer, which was OK. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich which had very little barbecue sauce on it. I chose the homemade potato salad, which was tasteless. My dining companion has corn, beef sliders that really were not very good. He chose tater tots which came hard as a rock. Next time we will definitely go somewhere else. read more

Fun place and a great wait staff. Anna is especially delightful - always very welcoming. Very fun and funny. Food is good and reasonably priced. Can watch up to eight sporting events at once due to number of TV's. Only wish they offered more craft beers - the only reason I didn't give it a five-star rating. I'll go with 4-1/2 stars for now. read more

Strip mall bar. Bad start. Nice inside. Clean. Waitresses were super friendly. Had tacos which were awesome. Smithwiths on tap tasted fresh. Had a good time. read more

Went to Kenny's on a Monday night at 6pm. The place was basically empty. My 21 year old daughter forgot her wallet and they refused to serve her even though she was with her parents. We were fine with that as my daughter did not have proof of ID until the server said, "She looks way too young to drink." My daughter was completely offended and then the server was rude to us the entire night. We are never going back and my daughter is on a mission to get the young crowd to pick a new bar to frequent. read more

Had a surprise party with 17 guests. I had talked to Jack (the owner) a week earlier to set it up. He was very accommodating. He arranged for us to take over the front section of the tabled area. It worked out perfect, we have family that are wheelchair equipped and she had no problems negotiating thru the doors, to the area, and in and out of the bathroom. The service was OUTSTANDING We had 2 servers who due to too many drinks (wasNt driving) I cannot remember their names! But they kept the drinks flowing and got all our food orders (17!!) out at about the same tIme. I've been going here for years and always enjoyed it. But they really upped their game for us and madde it a wonderful night read more

Love this place. It's always busy and can be fairly loud on certain days but it's an awesome hang-out spot. Food is typical bar-food but it's all good and priced well. Specials that they have every day are good as well. Highly recommend. read more

I purchased a groupon for this business as I'm always interested in supporting local businesses. When you walk in, it's pretty much one big room with a bar on the right, high tables on the left and regular tables by the window. It looks like the might have the ability to have bands play, but not sure as there didn't seem to be any posters indicating such. This place is definitely a local hangout. When we were there on a Friday night, it was mostly older folks, like 45-65. There were some younger people over by the bar. They pretty much have your standard bar food. We ordered mozzarella sticks, spinach artichoke dip, french onion soup, reuben, and a grilled chicken sandwich. Everything was just ok. The soup was really good and my husband thought the reuben was excellent. But I'm not sure I would come back just for the food. Seems like a nice enough place and the service was very friendly. read more

Kennys is the best and Jason Mastny, Elysha, and Rachel are the best they come! great place to be!

Best sports bar in the area and staff is outstanding! Food and drink are top notch. read more

Great sports bar. Lots of TVs. The wait staff and bartenders are attentive, friendly, and hard working. Awesome bar food, great service and definitely a neighborhood go to. read more

An absolute staple. Best appetizers ever!. With the appetizer sampler, you get your choice of 4 apps and fries. You can't go wrong! Mini tacos, Mac & Cheese bites, Pretzels & Fried Ravioli are my favs! Also try the pot roast sliders and the corn beef sandwiches! read more

The bouncers don't know how to control their anger, which means they are lacking in experience and they throw the kids in without training.... read more

I'm not usually one to write reviews but I had to tell everyone about my terrible experience at this bar. I think the owner is one of the most disrespectful people and an absolutely terrible business man to run such a mediocre establishment. I realize it's a local bar, and I live in the area and all I wanted was a local bar to go hang out at and enjoy the company of others around the area. This bouncer comes up to me and my friend and tells us we have to leave right now, kicks us out, for absolutely no reason (mind you, we were stone cold sober and had maybe 2 drinks each) I'm 22 and we questioned why maybe that we look young did he want to see our IDs? and he still didn't tell us why the owner wanted us to leave, just told us we had to get out immediately. I think anyone who shows such lack of respect to their patrons and such terrible courtesy without even informing me of why or what we did doesn't even slightly deserve to have success in their establishment. I hope people find this review helpful to never step foot in this horrible place. read more

Home of the "WHOO-AAH"! Kenny's may not be the most Irish of taverns but the walls inside are least green. Located conveniently in a stripmall for all of your one stop shopping/eating/drinking needs, it boasts a modest bar, some tables/chairs scattered throughout and a smattering of flat screens for your viewing pleasure. So belly up to the bar and get yourself a boilermaker (ie a shot & a beer) and settle in to watch some sports and cajole w/your boys. read more

Worst burger of my life. Cute place the food is awful. Nothing unique or good for the food. Waitress is great though. She is trying to make up for lack of staff and bad bad food. Jamie you rock. read more

A little diamond in the rough. The age range is as varied as the types of people. Young, old, and in between. Pretty cool spot to randomly stumble on to. It's a Thursday night and 12:30am and it's almost packed. Grills closed but the beers cold. Recommend for sure. read more

Popped in for a quick drink with a girlfriend... or 4 drinks, but who's counting here really? It should be like counting during mini-golf, but instead after the 3rd drink they just don't count anymore. Cause also, unlike in mini-golf, I can't count to 6 drinks anyways because it starts to get pretty fuzzy. Then again, I'm usually drunk on the golf-course. But we aren't here to talk about my issues... They are a nice place and they have a good atmosphere. Didn't have too much of a beer/wine selection for those not looking to grab just anything, but let's face it, it's a bar, it is what it is. You want the best then you don't go to a normal bar. You just want a place to chill, then this place is OK. The waitress was very friendly, especially talking to my uber drunk friend who apparently really liked her in grade school. I guess this is a big LTHS place. Im not from here, so I really liked going out and not having a high school reunion. Normally when I go out in Orland I see a dozen people from Sandburg, cover my face with my drink, and look really busy. BUT, if you are from the LTHS area and like catching up with old friends, this may be the place for you. Also, the staff was very friendly. Again, when my uber drunk friend decided that the table and floor was the best place for her red wine, they laughed about it and brought over rags and a mop. Hey, when it comes to me, as long as the red wine stayed away from my brand new Blackhawks shirt, I was A-OK with it. Although they may have liked her being drunk cause she actually stole the mop from them and wouldn't let them clean it up for her. She took great pride in her work too. Only 3 stars cause they didn't have Karaoke that night, and my friend becomes a rock star (in her drunken mind) when highly intoxicated, and that would've increased they score from me by a star at the very least. But alas, no karaoke, and sometimes no music either, so the quiet was kinda odd for a bar with no games on and no music. I need a little juke-box lovin' when I'm out and about and random bars. read more
