Don't let the outside fool you-this is a great find for hearty, delicious food! Attentive staff and fun interior Irish/Guinness theme, the day of our visit, a college game had just finished and many families with kids of all ages were also having an early dinner, so family friendly, and a nice place overall. read more

We showed up at 9:45 and they didn't acknowledge us they continued to look at us but not seat us so we sat ourselves. We then waiting for someone to come over and never did so we called the number and asked for the times and they told us they were closing down the kitchen and bar, the hours were wrong and even though we didn't eat there it was "horrible" service due to not letting us know they were closing read more

Tops for hamburgers! Food always come out so dang piping hot! I typically get a burger but I sometime just have to get the sizzler with mushrooms and Swiss. read more

Food was great. Service was prompt. Prices were nice. I got 5 wings, honey mustard, my bride got a chicken wrap with tater tots, and my daughter had honey BBQ wings. We all enjoyed our food (my cup of Chili was excellent too!) Ambiance was super casual, not super noisy, not super quiet. If/when we visit Ashland, we will probably return!!! read more

O'Bryan's Pub - Cup o Chili - American Near Me - Ashland, Ohio

Ashland's hidden gem. Great food and people with affordable prices. This is always our go to dinner out.

Great service, good food. Ashland, world headquarters of nice people, living up to their sign. Highly recommend.

What a Gem! My wife and I were traveling back from the east coast and picked Ashland, OH to spend the night. She found this place on google and we went there around 7:30pm for dinner. We walked in the door and the place was packed. We were fortunate to find the last open table. A manager came over and took our drink orders and brought us water. Our server came by and took our orders. My wife ordered a salad and reuben and I ordered a salad and the LunchBox Pasta. My wife immediately told me that I was nuts for ordering pasta in an Irish Pub, but I was intrigued by the description which was "a variety of meats over fettuccine with Alfredo sauce". I ate every bit of it. It was delicious and I would order it again. The people at this place were extremely nice and the service was excellent. read more

great food great service. Love the atmosphere. exactly what I wished it would be. But a draft blue mood should not be $6.00 when a pint at the gas station is a $1.96 read more

I went to college at Ashland University and fell in love with this place. Their garlic knots are everything & i crave them all the time now. Great prices, great staff, i honestly cannot complain. read more

Great food! Black and blue chips are our go-to! All the girls are great! Marla is the best!! Quick service and great atmosphere. read more

A post graduation meal was marked as a success, although the reservation was made at the last minute and the number of attendees kept growing, right up to reservation time. Through a miracle pulled off by the owner (who did most of the initial serving) and a great staff, the meal was a success, I didn't look like a schmuck and my daughter had a great celebration. I've always enjoyed O'Bryan's. read more

We stopped in tonight for dinner while in town for Inkcarceratio. What great service. The food was amazing! Would totally recommend this place for lunch or dinner. read more

Good food, great service - fair prices, what more can you ask for. Plenty of seating. We both had chicken Parmesan and loved it !

The O'bryans burger is an all time favorite! The burgers are always delicious but this one is a great combination. I order it with American cheese though. Their French onion soup is delicious too. read more

Pretty solid food with a well rounded menu. Plenty of pretty gals here too. Drinks up!

Great food! The waitresses are awesome! Our favorite place to go any time of the week.

Stopped on our way home from Columbus to Canton, and had a great late lunch! It was fairly busy for 2 in the afternoon...a good sign, and the service was fast and friendly. I had a perfectly cooked burger and loved that there were multiple bun choices. Brioche was delicious. Also perfect and multiple choice were the fries-I chose curly and my husband picked hand cut. Yummy with vinegar. He loved his Rueben, and said the thousand island tasted homemade. Topped off with Christmas Ale, it was a great late lunch at a place you would never think had so much to offer from the outside. Also, very reasonable prices, and so many menu choices! The pastas sounded good too, but wanted to keep it simple our first time here. A+ read more

Pros: Food was tasty. Cons: Service and food was slow Forgetful bartender (they were busy- so benefit of the doubt) It was an acceptable experience. Nothing more or less. read more

I love Shepherd's/Cottage Pie! O'Bryan's did it right! My husband also enjoyed the beauty and tasty balsamic chicken. I look forward to this being a regular stop when we visit Lancaster,Pa. I'm recommending this great place to my friends. read more

The food here is amazing... Never knew this place existed until I was looking for a place to have a surprise 50th for the boyfriend. They reserve tables for you for free if you are eating and drinking there for a party. Place is small but the reserved "party room" is plenty big for what we had. I spoke with someone in a regular basis to do a menu and when to have stuff out. Everything was perfect! We have Been back there to eat several different times since the party a year ago have always had great service and amazing food!! read more

Always receive great tasting food here. On St. Patrick day they had my favorite Irish dish. Green beer too. People and staff are friendly. Never had a bad meal here. Enjoy! read more

I've driven past this place many times but never stopped because of the rundown motel it's attached to but finally gave it a try after seeing the reviews. Gr8 pub type bistro located in a sleazy rundown Motel.! Warm cozy atmosphere with super friendly staff and locals. Fantastic menu, couldn't decide what to get, everything sounded really good. I ended up ordering the black and bleu Burger rare and it came out cooked perfectly, nice and Juicy and Delicious! The homemade french fries were a bonus! This will be my go-to place when I am in Ashland. Can't wait to try the other items on the menu. read more

Walked in and sat myself. Eventually, the bartender came and brought me a menu and asked for my drink order. Drink came quick. Katie was the waitress and bartender for the whole place it seemed. And for a small place it was too busy for just her. She did her best. The food though, meh. Had French onion soup. It was barely warm. Topped with two slices of provolone and some out of the bag croutons. The BLT salad was edible. It was a bed of spinach with crumbled bacon, crumbled eggs, and some whole grape tomatoes. Katie took care of the soup for me. She was the best thing about the whole experience. I know it's hard to find staff these days. My rating is not a reflection of Katie, just the food. read more

Stopped here for dinner tonight and it was fantastic. Sample platter was loaded with different apps so you got to try a little of everything. The mozzarella sticks are the super good ones. Two had burgers and they are huge 1/2lb burgers. The wings are good and so was the pizza. We defiantly would come here again! read more

Been here a couple few times now and never have had a bad experience. It's a cool little place not bad at all for Ashland. Irish stew not bad, typically get the burgers and fries when we get here. Friendly for kids and friendly wait staff. TVs all around. read more

1st time here. The outside is bad. This "pub" is in the bottom of an old hotel. It looks unappealing outside. If you want TV, beers, and a local old dive bar feel, come here. We were here to meet some friends- we split the travel distance and they chose this place. Food- Our family got burgers, chicken sandwich, and a sirloin w/MR/onions.The sandwiches were good, family ate them all. Shoestring fries were barely warm, dried out and rubbery. The steak- asked for Med- pink but hot in middle. It came well done and the meat fibres were pulling apart they were so tough. I couldn't handle it and asked her to fix it. The waitress was very kind and cheerful and took the steak n fries to replace them. She said she would bring the fries when they were done. This threw me for a bit-I know FF don't take as long as a steak, but OK. I usually don't like to eat a big chunk of steak all by itself. The occasional bite of FF/w ketchup in between makes them even better! The FF came out, steaming, greasy, and very hot. Lots of salt killed some of the grease taste and I blotted some of the grease off. The new steak took a long time, but it had a nice char to it, good flavor and it was med well this time, so Yay! Better than the 1st try. Coleslaw was very sour, but good. This place is OK- no major complaints. read more

This place is GREAT ! The servers are always pleasant and the food is always good! Always a calm relaxing environment!

Amazing!!! Very good and fast service. I would highly recommend!!! The workers are fast, efficient and on top of it. Great place for kids early and find for adults in the evening! read more

Great place! What a road trip find! We'll definitely be back! Got fish tacos, portobello soup & salad & the awesome filet sandwich. Something for everyone & a good selection of beer on tap as well. read more

Great local bar with fantastic drink selection, delicious food and festive atmosphere.

We randomly stopped in here for lunch. My husband had the tenderloin sandwich and I had the fish and chips. Both were great! My husband had a huge side salad and the blue cheese chips too. Everything was was served hot and timed out perfectly. There were two waitresses working and both were very attentive and super friendly. We will definitely stop back the next time we are in Ashland!!! read more

Met my kids here as a halfway point between home and their house. Food wasn't bad, in fact, it was pretty good. Service left a lot to be desired though. We waited almost 20 minutes for drinks and our order to be taken. My order was messed up and it took the server 3 attempts to get it right. I could understand if it was busy but the place was nearly empty. We'll probably go back. read more

Had the blackened Mahi-mahi. It was good. The menu has a variety of options. We had a rather large party with only one waitress. She was working so hard, I felt for her. read more

Delicious food cold beer good music laid back and very good service alway enjoy the atmosphere and the people the service is top notch I come just about every weekend would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone read more

For what Ashland has to offer, O'Bryan's is about as good as you're going to get in regard to a somewhat "pub" atmosphere. The din of sports TV and incessant garbling by the masses of customers crowding the bar can be annoying at times, but they have a filet mignon sandwich (probably $8-9 by itself) which is to die for. Tucked into the armpit of one of the last non-chain hotels in the area, with a decent variety of beers. read more

0.5 k walk for cancer. Great turnout. Ty for hosting. Great food here as a side note. Guinness always fresh.

Great spot in Ashland! ...just don't order wine, and you'll be totally fine! They have a wonderful menu that ranges from any sort of burger you'd like, to grouper (poor man's lobser. It is wonderful!), to veggie burgers! GREAT food, good drinks, nice atmosphere. They do have a number of televisions playing sports games, but they are not excessively loud. They're easy to get away from. They even have a few areas where seating is slightly more intimate. And the wine... It's terrible. Stick with any of the other drinks. read more

Basically terrible. Special 60 cent wings were chicken nuggets. Sandwich was poorly made and fries were cold. Go at your own risk.

Nice little small town bar! The place can get a little packed some nights but hey it's a bar. The girls who tend the bar always have been friendly and prompt when I've been in there. Drink selection is above average but not great. I wish they had a larger draft selection but its not terrible. Love it around the holidays when they have Great Lakes Christmas Ale on tap, order it with cinnamon sugar on the rim trust me. The drinks can be slightly pricey but not to bad. I think this is a good thing though because it keeps the riff raff out. The food is bar food but its good! The club sandwich is pretty good. Went there one time on a wing night, good price and the wings were pretty good. Overall not a bad place to go for a drink or two and little bit of bar food. read more

Came here on July 4th with my boyfriend and the food was great. I highly recommend the blueberry/lemonade beer...can't remember what it's called but it went perfect with the Eggnormous burger. Not only was the food great but the attentiveness and courteousness of the workers was exceptional. I would love to go back again if only I didn't live in California!! read more
