We stopped in on an overnight in Connellsville. Sue was our server and she was a delight! My husband and I split the Mac and cheese (added Cajun chicken) and it was DELICIOUS! Service was great. Everything was clean, worth the stop! read more

O'Donnell's Pub is good enough that the opportunity to eat here again was a significant reason in why I recently stayed in Connellsville for a second time, rather than giving Somerset a chance. It was the best place I ate on my weeklong trip in August, and it was once again the best place I ate on my ski trip this past weekend. A lot of pubs have burgers, fries, a few sandwiches, that sort of thing. It gets repetitive. O'Donnell's has that, but really knocks it out of the park with their main courses. You get the pub atmosphere, and good hearty food, but so much more variety than most places, and it's all delicious. Perhaps most impressive of all, they rotate in a variety of specials, and those are really good too. Their kitchen staff is versatile and skilled. The first time I went, I had a grouper special, with rice and vegetables, all cooked really nicely, not dry at all, and well flavored. Dessert was chocolate Guiness cake with Bailey's frosting, which was as good as it sounds. A few days later, I got the blackened chicken alfredo. Although not quite as gobsmackingly impressive as what I had the first time, it was still a really solid pasta dish. Five months later, I was back, and went with another special, the Berkshire pork chop, with homemade mashed potatoes as the side. Both were really good, but the mashed potatoes - best I've had in years. And carrot cake for dessert - not quite as unique as the Guiness cake, but another really good dessert. It also has a great atmosphere to dine in and really good service. Allison was working at least the first and third times I was there, still remembered me five months later, and was just as good at taking a phone-in order this weekend as the in-person ones earlier. They have their regulars who go there for the food and service, but also make newcomers welcome. Excellent staff. People around town recognize their food too. On Saturday, they were closing a bit early due to the snow, so I took my takeout up to Yough River Brewing (which welcomes outside food). At one point a man asked if my food was from O'Donnell's, and I said that it is, and a few minutes later I'm talking with his friend, the mayor, who loves O'Donnell's as well. And no wonder! This would be on my regular rotation if I lived nearby. read more

What a wonderful dinner experience after a long day of riding on the GAP. Our server, Alison was helpful, attentive and fun too. Our five dinners were so good. Sirloin tips on bow tie pastie w Gorgonzola Alfredo sauce, deviled eggs, pork chop, salmon, bisque. No room for dessert, alas read more

Warm and friendly and welcoming. The staff was super accommodating, even though they were clearly shortstaffed. They apologized in advance, but everything came out timely, and delicious. The tenderloin tips and pasta dish were delicious! Prices were super reasonable, would definitely come back! read more

Beloved had Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural wonder of Falling Waters on his bucket list. So, I decided to take him there. Little did I know that Falling Waters was located way out in the Pennsylvania boonies. The closest town we could find to stay the night before going to Falling Waters was Connersville, which can best be described in one word, "vapid." It was hilly, with plenty of pickup trucks with shotgun rakes, and a bunch of dive bars. What to do? And worse it's Beloved's birthday. So, Yelp to the rescue where I located O'Donnell's Pub. O'Donnell's Pub turned out to be great. It has the best of quality foods and the friendliest of staff. I had their filet tips Gorgonzola with pasta, tomatoes, and scallion. Beloved went for their salmon and we both agreed that our dishes were perfection in their deliciousness. Then to our delight out comes a delicious for two complementary birthday cake with a candle on top. Thank you, O'Donnell's Pub, in our book, you're five stars all the way. read more

Amazing service, High quality homemade food. The loaded mash potatoes were incredible. House dressing is delicious. Do not skip dessert, the chocolate Guinness Bunt cake blew my Mind. read more

Best spot in Connellsville. Every meal I've had here had been outstanding. Great service as well.

We have eaten here several times now (all take out orders because we're frequently on the go) and we have been happy every time! I must admit, it took me awhile (too long) to try their food, from the outside it looks more like a corner bar so I expected typical bar food. I was very pleasantly surprised that they are so much more (and from other reviews here I see everyone agrees with me, their pork shank is FANTASTIC) !!! I stopped in one day for a drink at the bar (thank you to the bar tender for a great specialty drink suggestion) and to place my to-go order. After ordering I decided to walk back and check out their back patio as well. Definitely somewhere we would like to sit on a beautiful day. Friendly, fast service; upscale, delicious food and a great place to hang out. What more could you ask for? read more

We were trying to find somewhere for dinner- other than fast food-on a Sunday evening when heading home from a visit in PA. Found this place while doing a Yelp search- it did not disappoint! It was not busy at all. We were greeted, seated, and served by Seth- who was friendly & welcoming & gave us a few menu suggestions. We ordered cheese sticks as an appetizer which were supposed to be served with yellow mustard. Seth pointed this out and asked if we wanted this. We opted for marinara instead. They came out quickly and were tasty! We both ordered double cheeseburgers- one bacon and one American. They were served with fries. Everything was cooked perfectly, came out fast, and was delicious!! The seating area was clean, with comfortable seating. We will definitely stop in this location again when traveling through Connellsville! read more

Tucked away from the tourist/visitor joints is a basic building. ODonnells is just as another reviewer noted. Great & attentive service. Very amazingly reasonable prices with generous portions. I tried a house special- steak tips with gorgonzola Alfredo. Blow off the doors on taste. Steak cooked to your preference. Also sampled the house appetizer- drunken deviled eggs. Interesting yet tasty. And it's all housemade. read more

Great service we love Cara with a K. She's amazing server. I had the mac & cheese and added some beef tips. Great selection of beer.

This is a local watering hole with great food. We had the double cheeseburgers and fries and they were a "10". Also our waitress Allison is a "10": super friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this pub. read more

We found this place on Yelp, just looking for a comfortable bar for a drink and some grub. Since we live out of town and are unfamiliar with the area. We were greeted very warmly on a Saturday evening by a young female bartender, unfortunately I can't remember her name, but she made a few drink and dinner recommendations, which were spot on. We enjoyed the food and dinner! If you're in the neighborhood do yourself a favor and stop in and grab a drink or three and some pretty tasty food. read more

We were coming from out of town and found on apple maps. Don't judge a book by its cover. Food really is fine dining. Food - drinks - service. All 5 stars. Props to Sue !!! read more

We rolled into town off of the GAP Trail hungry for lunch. Pub food sounded good so we made our way to O'Donnell's. This place is a cozy little local bar with super friendly staff. The server and manager were very conversational and fun to talk to. The menu is classic pub-fare. Though they didn't have fish-n-chips, I did order the fried cod sandwich with onion rings. The cod sandwich was a beast. Hot and crispy fish with house special sauce, lettuce, and tomatoes. A solid offering and very filling. However, my sammy was upstaged by the onion rings which were big, beautiful, batter-fried delights. Piping hot and full of tender onion. You know them rings are on point when you can bite through them and not pull all the onion out of the batter-ring. They had a local brown on draft that was phenomenal. Sorry I can't remember the name. Good people and good food. Worth the trip into town off of the GAP. read more

We are traveling through and just had a delicious meal: Guinness-glazed chicken breasts, a spinach quesadilla, and salads (one side, one Caesar, and one House). We also got A side of really good asparagus (veg of the day) for $3. The house/side salads were really good - beets, egg, cheese, onions on romaine and spinach) and the little breadsticks were like donuts with no sugar. Great deal, great service, great food! read more

We had a fairly large group of 8, and were seated immediately. We went on a Sunday. Service was fabulous! Our waitress was friendly and helpful, even if we bombarded her with a million questions upon arrival. The food was amazing! I had the pork shank, fell off the bone! Mashed potatoes were delicious as well. Only small complaint..not enough sauerkraut and I would have also liked applesauce. Like I said SMALL complaint. I wish the weather was conducive to sit outside on their deck. Very cute, with fire pits and a marvelous view of the Yough and the trains. Owner came out to see how everything was, he is definitely a CHEF not a cook. Highly recommended! read more

Food was reasonably priced. Burgers were good, though slightly small. Salmon was great. read more

The food is incredible. I've never had a bad meal yet. The salmon is delicious and the homemade dressings are to die for. Everything is so fresh and you can tell there's love put into each dish. The service is great, they have specialty burgers and I highly recommend the pork nachos as an appetizer or even a meal they are huge. Drunken deviled eggs- need I say more!?!? The outdoor patio is really nice on warm nights, they light a fire and you just enjoy the trains and scenery. read more

Reference from the B&B owner down the street. Dont let the facade fool you. The wife and I came in needing some nourishment after a 60 mile trail ride, this place did not disappoint! The food was outstanding. Even seeing was was brought to the other table looked right on. The service was very attentive even while training a new hire. If we were from the area, or ever visit again this spot will be on the top of our list. read more

Pleasant, responsive service and a surprisingly great Reuben! Family friendly--highly recommended.

We are on a bike trip, and the B&B where are are staying recommended this place. The drunken deviled eggs were excellent, and the steak we ordered was delicious. Our server was very, very helpful and also very friendly. We loved the food and the place. read more

Tonight was our first time there. And soon as we walk in people that we didn't even know were saying hi to us from the bar. We sat in the bar which was quite cozy with an electric fireplace on the walls and little seating area. The waitress was super polite the owner came over and asked how everything was and the food was excellent. Definitely a go to place! read more

Great food! I heard about it being good, but after trying another local establishment and the line being long decided to go elsewhere. Glad we came here! Had the gorgonzola alfredo with beef tips and it was very tasty, perfectly seasoned, huge portion, and the meat was incredibly tender! Nice friendly staff and the music wasn't blasting like in most pubs. Oh and it was steady busy the food was out in a very reasonable time frame. If your wanting something different try O'Donnells! read more

The exterior is unpromising, but inside is a large, friendly restaurant, not a dive bar at all. Outdoor seating is available. The menu has an extensive list of American food, with homemade desserts. The food was...fine, reasonably priced. The staff does not wear masks or require customers to wear them. read more

This place is our #1 place in Connellsville! Have ate here about 8 times or more but tonight was the best! Our server was Abby who proved that you take care of your customers they will feel like family. We have been telling friends and coworkers that the pork shank is to die for. They absolutely agree! If we could make appointment at least twice a month for this mouth watering meal we would! Eight of us devoured our meal ( but me as I will finish it tomorrow lol) you have to call to get reserved shanks and they will accommodate if enough! This was by far my most memorable birthday in a long time! O'Donnells be ready this GE crew and family will be back! Hugs to Abby and the bartenders read more

Super friendly staff. Good food! The burgers were amazing. This was out first meal in town and we would definitely go back

Great food, great service, but 2-star deduction for not caring about the community enough to wear face masks. My wife and I were served by 4 different wait staff, an impressive attentive group, but not a one was wearing a face mask. As we sat next to a table with 4 people all of whom were senior citizens I couldn't help imagine how they would fare if they were to contract the virus. I thought at first it might be a regional arrogance, but as we walked down the main street in your small town we peaked into other restaurants all with servers wearing protective face masks. Come on O'Donell's, buying a couple hundred of those protective light weight disposable face masks isn't too much to ask to protect your customers. read more

We ordered take out while staying in a nearby hotel. Salmon was terrific and the staff incredibly friendly and helpful!

Walked in and sat down. Our presence was not acknowledged after 20 minutes of waiting so we left. Unacceptable!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! Family atmosphere with good food. The best place in the area! Get the Mac and cheese! read more

My favorite place in all of Connellsville to eat. Always a special burger of the week always a special drink of the week. Nothing ordinary here. The staff is outstanding and makes you feel at home. I often eat outback on the deck so that I can watch the trains travel by. read more

Came here to eat after riding our first day on the GAP trail from Pittsburgh. There didn't seem to be a ton of options and the Yelp reviews were good so we decided to give it a shot. When you walk in it looks like a bar out of the 1980s. A little dark and old school. Don't let appearances fool you. The service and the food are both very good. Our server Brandan could not have been more friendly or attentive. He gave us some great menu recommendations. My wife got the Reuben burger and said it was perfectly cooked. I got the Reuben and it was one of the best I have ever had. This is not just a settle for it in a small town place. I would be happy to frequently go to this place if it were in my neighborhood in suburban Philly read more

Nice little burger and beer place. Good food and service. Staying in Connellsville and walked down from the hotel...very happy with our meal read more
