Attempted to order some take out and the person taking the order was absolutely horrible. Could not answer any questions, was unwilling to ask someone from the kitchen and then asked us to call back because they were busy. I understand when people are busy, but that was completely unprofessional and rude. read more

The food was good, but I was expecting more traditional Irish options on the menu. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. We only received one round of drinks, and our server never checked in for refills, though they were very chatty with the table behind us. I even had to go to the bar myself just to get more water. The establishment itself is really cute with a cozy, bar-like atmosphere, but the service definitely needs improvement. read more

Went here for the first time recently. I got the Smoked Turkey Wrap with the Seasoned Chippers. Food was delicious. Service was quick and efficient. The place itself was clean and lots of space-- tables are not crammed up close to each other. The bathrooms were clean which I think says a lot. I'm looking forward to going back to try other items on their menu. Highly recommend! read more

I really want to love the new mcdills ...I've tried it a few times now and it's just fell short for me. Maybe I need to try going when we can sit outside? The service was just ok...we had to ask for silverware a few times and it took a while for her to come back around. We got the hot ham and cheese sandwich. Again it was just ok. Not a lot going on with it. Now the Gouda Mac and cheese bites are still as good as they have always been! All in all it's close to home and they must be doing something right because they're always crowded. I'm sure we will try it again and hopefully upgrade my review. read more

Great Irish Pub, all five of us enjoyed our dinner here and talked about coming back with our friends or families. We had nice weather so the front patio was great to hang out on. The patio is dog friendly. The table service staff was very nice and polite. We had two ribeye steak sandwiches, the fried cod dinner, chicken wings and the fried green beans appetizer. The food was all really good! The draft beer was super cold and even the dark Guinness hit the spot on a hot day and I love a pub that makes a good half and half (black and tan). I think the place is relatively new, or at least updated, the parking lot has expanded since the last time I was there and the inside of the restaurant looked nice and was clean. They open the garage doors and let air flow throughout on a nice weather day. Thanks for the great dinner! read more

McDills is a great pub in Collinsville. The menu consist of Irish style items and American. I love the wings and the chips as my meal. My favorite part of McDills is the beer menu. They have tons of beers on draft which is typically what my husband and I are looking for when we want a quick bite out. The restaurant is pretty large with a large parking lot so no issues with parking or getting a table. Service at the bar is always quick and the bartender may even make you a special spot. Overall nice spot in Collinsville read more

Stopped here while heading west. A nice alternative to your chain restaurants. Good beer selection! Raftered ceiling with sports bar vibes. Food was pretty standard. A few tweaks could've gone a long way, but better than typical bar food. read more

McDill's Irish Pub - Irish Pub Near Me - Collinsville, Illinois

Went to a local favorite, McDill's. It was a very busy and loud Friday night. Besides not getting to hear the conversation (there were 6 of us) the service was excellent and our food was good. The Irish burger and the Burnt Ends were both delish. Most of their food is fried fare but there were wraps and salads available. My husband ordered an Apple pie Caramel dessert which was not good. Tasteless. The waitress said they brought them in, the other choices were all cheesecakes. It's a shame because the best bakery in the metro, Kruta's, is straight across the street! read more

Best food EVER. Donnie rocks! The Ruben and Jameson tomato soup and two bosco sticks is what we get every time and it's THE BOMB. Go here!!!! You won't regret. read more

Mmmmmmkay. Listen up. Been here a ton, and I am so so sad that I've never ordered the fish tacos!!!! Literally THE BEST FISH TACOS I have ever had!!!! EVER. The slaw on the fish, the fish itself, oh man. Yum. Okay- bad part, I ordered an old fashion-it took longer than it should have, and I even had to ask for an update, twice, on the status of my cocktail- it finally came, and I was confused. There was no ice in it-wth. I don't care if it's not a big cube, but you don't skip ice on an old fashion-!!!!! Like, hello. I ended up digging ice cubes out of my water. Not ok. At all. I've never had a bad meal here- but I wont be ordering anymore Old fashions. And did I mention not to sleep on the fish tacos-!?? Best ever. read more

So we used to go here pre re build and it was kind of a dump. A dump with good food, good service and a nice dive bar feel. NOW it is super nice and has a killer patio with the same good food and service! We went here randomly on the way home from a hike yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at the new spot. Def go check it out. Nice restrooms, nice dart area and great bar too. read more

We were lucky enough to have Citlaly, as our server, who made sure we always had what we needed at the table! The new GM David is pretty awesome, too! We will definitely be back to visit the patio! read more

A group of us were going to see a play at the Historic Miner's Theater, so we met here beforehand to have dinner. GREAT choice! The food was DELICIOUS, the service was EXCEPTIONAL, and the space was really nice too! Our food came out quickly, we were able to talk amongst ourselves (NOT obnoxiously loud!), and the prices were reasonable too! Would love to come back when it's warmer and sit out on their front deck. read more

McDill's Irish Pub - Reuben with Chippers - Irish Pub Near Me - Collinsville, Illinois

It's an alright place. I've been to their old location a couple times before they built their new building and opened last year. Truthfully, I liked it better at their old place but I understand it's likely that they used government money to build themselves a new place to shed off their "dive" image. But the new building is decent too. It's like everything is in one room, except the bathrooms and gambling rooms. They also have a small outdoor patio in front. 90s on 9 was blasting inside. Food was alright, like I said it had been awhile since I was at McDill's (before the pandemic) and thought I'd visit them again. Of course as expected, prices went up like everywhere else. I had the Black and Bleu Burger and fries, along with $1 wings. Burger was huge and filling, and had lots of blue cheese on it (which I prefer!). Fries were so-so. They were served on fancy plates. Was not blown away by the wings, as they were just average. I get it that chicken wings have gone up in price all over, but I felt the $1 was a ripoff for what I got. Sorry, just thought they were going to be huge! I'd probably return if I were with a friend or group. Seems like a laid-back place with a full bar, and I wish them well on their new chapter. read more

McDill's Irish Pub - Black and blue burger - Irish Pub Near Me - Collinsville, Illinois

McDills more like McDUNCEs what "Irish" pub has hardly ZERO Irish food in it?? A pretty BAD one at that! It used to be a haven for smokers and vagabonds alike, with a sense that it was dirty but in a way you'd volunteer for. Now it's a Hooters knock-off without the women! I will say I am happily married and my wife and I tried the whole swinging thing and it wasn't for us but a little eye candy never hurt nobody. LOL.. This place feels like a gentrified dive bar because that's exactly what it is! And the music was turned up too loud with people playing rap music, IN AN IRISH PUB! I have tinnitus so it was not the space for me. Giving two stars because the bathroom had soap. read more

Was so excited to try the Re-opening of the Bew McDills. The New building is great..but the old one had charm as well. The wait was about 40 minutes so we ponied up to the Bar for drinks and Appetizers. If you love Whiskey/Bourbon this is your place!!! They have a great variety. The Mac n Cheese bites we very good. I couldn't wait to order The Irish Egg Rolls.. these are like Reuben Sandwiches rolled up and fried.. with Thousand Island for dipping. My Guinness Burger was good.. a little dry and could use some type of cheese sauce? The Roast Beef French Dip is Highly Recommended!! Our Friends had the Boneless Wings Reverse style... Garlic Parm then drizzled with Hot sauce... and a Fried chicken Salad.. both very good. Head to Collinsville for great food and atmosphere. read more

First time I had the shrimp and it was delicious. It was a busy Friday night but service was good. Enjoyed the ambiance.

I'll definitely be back! This place deserves higher ratings. Surprisingly, one of the highlights for me was their avocado ranch salad dressing--something I never thought I'd rave about at an Irish pub. It was fantastic! I'm already looking forward to summer so I can order a Cobb salad with it. During my visit, I had the Irish Burger, and it was an excellent choice. My friend ordered the Reuben, which I sampled, and now I know exactly what I'll be getting next time--it was delicious! We also tried the Reuben egg rolls, and those are a must-try as well. The pub is clean, not overly noisy, and serves outstanding food. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. I can't wait to return! read more

Service was fair There is nothing on the menu that is Irish The food is terrible I ordered roast beef sandwich it taste like bug spray and it isnt a roast at all it's more like Arby's fake roast Never going back read more

Very nice place! Lots of curb appeal with the stone facade and roofline giving the appearance of a building you might see at a ski resort or something. The servers here were very nice and attentive. They have 20 beers on tap - a bunch that I was a fan of, but ended up ordering my fave Blue Moon. I ordered the grilled buffalo chicken wrap with a side salad. The chicken on the wrap was moist and the overall flavor of the wrap was good. The side salad was an extra $2...was a bit disappointing since it was just iceberg lettuce with a couple toppings. Would be a nicer salad if they used romaine or spring mix lettuce. I was glad they had balsamic vinaigrette dressing though - was trying to order healthy. My aunt ordered the ribeye sandwich and raved about how tender the meat was. She also said the fries were perfect and didn't need anything on them. I saw another Yelper talking about mango shrimp tacos, but unfortunately, these weren't available. Would be nice if these were added to the menu permanently - I would've loved to try these! read more

Food. Fantastic Service was GREAT! you can see how hard she is working to cover everyone on a afternoon and the porch is perfect for a beautiful day outside! Which we got to enjoy! I highly recommend the egg rolls! They are a personal enjoyment for the first time I had them. Extra sauce of course! We will be back! read more

Best Reuben I think I've ever had! The corn beef was like smoked and it had so much flavor and the bread was a really fresh marble bread very very tasty. My husband had the Irish burger and the onions were salted and Guinness beer made the burger really awesome! Fries were awesome. Service was great and we had no wait. The place has very nice atmosphere and very clean. read more

Service was great. The bartender Johnathon was very attentive, and you didn't have to wait long for a drink. The atmosphere was spot on and the open patio is a great addition. If you like a reuben, they have mastered that. They even have reuben eggrolls that are good. I had ordered a grilled ham n cheese on texas toast. They threw the bread on the grill for maybe a second, it wasn't "grilled" by no means, just soft white bread, but it was still good. read more

McDill's Irish Pub - Rueben.. Burnt and greasy. - Irish Pub Near Me - Collinsville, Illinois

Food is just mediocre, nothing was outstanding. The service was fair. Waitresses have an attitude. And only serving corned beef and cabbage on one day a year? If you served it on a regular basis, it would boost business. Not really an Irish pub. read more

This was a really cool place to hang out, especially on St. Patricks Day when they brought in Irish dancers and a (non-Irish-music) musician. They had a full bar and both indoor and outdoor seating. The gouda mac & cheese bites were delicious, and my friends said the rueben sandwich was great (and it was big enough for two to share). There were only a few problems. First, when the musician played, the music was so loud that we couldn't hear the server speak to us or hear each other; some sounds actually hurt the ears. I ordered water with my food and never got it (but they were REALLY busy, so that's forgiven this once). Most importantly, they don't have any entrees for vegetarians to eat. They had burgers, so I could have eaten lots of items if they kept a few frozen bean burgers around. As it is, I couldn't come back for a meal. So, if you're vegan, forget about it. If you're vegetarian, you can snack, but don't expect a meal. read more

Fantastic food and service. Ivy did a wonderful job of serving our work group. Thoroughly enjoyed and will return when we are in town!

Appearance is beautiful, especially patio seating. Drinks are good! Food is very subpar. Not really restaurant quality in my opinion Service is severely lacking, especially on the busier days. Double check your receipts always. I would suggest this place to meet up for drink but bring cash, and know the service will be very very slow. read more

I am giving one star for the place being clean and attractive. Service was not great, our server acted like a sullen, spoiled 14 year old and we were her parents asking her to do things like bring us some utensils to eat with. The food was not great. I did like the Mac n cheese bites, but the burger on my horseshoe was burnt and the cheese sauce was canned and not even as good as frito lays canned cheese. I expected a decent house made sauce. It was honestly an insult to horseshoes everywhere. Waitress don't care that my food was inedible. $50 wasted. Won't be back. read more

My daughter and I went to McDills today for lunch. We both ordered the Pulled Pork Nachos. They did not disappoint. I am not a big Pulled Pork fan, but the Nachos were delicious. The service was fantastic and we will be sure to return. read more

After reading many reviews about the boned wings I decided to purchase three separate flavors -Garlic Parm. -Pat's Special -Reverse Pat I also ordered 6 dipping sauces, three ranch and three blue cheese. Garlic Parm: barley seasoned and tasted plane, -3/10 Reverse Pat: Hot sauce and sprinkled with Parm seasoning -7/10 Pats Special: Looked like the Garlic Parm wings with a DAB of hot sauce. Tasted remotely similar to being plane 1/10 The dipping sauce both ranch and blue cheese -had a jelly consistency and didn't not look like it was fit for human consumption. The wings at Little Caesar's had more garlic Parm seasoning. And those wings are a last resort for me. Total Price :50 2/10 Save your money read more

First off, it's not an Irish pub. Not in any way. It's a sports bar. Loud, with lots of dart boards and a pool table in the middle of the dining room. Service was disjointed. Not terrible but not attentive. Bartender was also waiting tables on the busiest bar night of the year. That's a management mistake. Not fair to the bartender or the guests. Food wasn't even average in preparation, taste, or presentation. Salads/apps/entrees all came out within just a few minutes of each other so the table was cramped full of food getting cold. I don't know how this spot gets recognition and write ups. Even for Collinsville, it's not a winner. read more

Finally was able to get into this place. They do a massive lunch and dinner business. They've only been open at their new location for about three or four weeks, but much if not all of the menu is the same. I have been hearing about the ribeye sandwich and had to give it a try. It was fairly good, but could've used just a touch more seasoning on the ribeye. I tried to eat healthy and chose a side salad rather than fries, but the side salad is really little. She got a grilled chicken sandwich which was pretty good (I always try hers, and vice versa). There's a lot more to this menu to try, so we will be back. We were served in a reasonable amount of time, but since they've expanded so much, they're still working out the kinks. I wish them the best! read more

I went tonight. 3 orders. OVER $100. No side dressings. ... four orders of wings. ..got two ranches. My personal order (I paid $3 extra for flappers only ) got 9 flappers for $ 15.50). Ordered two order is Irish egg Rolls. Supposed to come with thousand island dressing as dipping sauce. Got one of these. When I called and asked for the $18 credit for JUST the egg rolls was basically told "screw you". Not going to make it right. Message me. Hope they fail. Health department needs to know they allow smoking inside (the place reeks). I will NEVER return and hope people realize what they are all about read more

This place got a new building. It is beautiful! The food has already been incredible. All of the house made smoked meat is amazing. The corned beef, smoked Turkey, and grilled chicken are our favorite meats. We always get the Irish egg rolls and pepper Jack Mac n cheese bites for an app. With the mushrooms as a good back up. Highly recommend fish tacos, any wrap, chicken Philly sandwich, and all the salads. Always great service and good atmosphere. read more
