Called ahead early on St. Patrick's Day and got a 7:30 reservation. Arrived a few minutes early, but they were able to seat us early right away. We figured it would be busy since it's an Irish pub on St. Patrick's Day, so it wasn't a big deal when it took about 10 minutes for the server to come take our drink order, and another 10 minutes to come take our food order. Then there was the wait. Since it was a busy day, I figured about 30 minutes, maybe 40, so I expected our food would be ready around 8:20-8:30; our food was not delivered to our table until 9:23... and it was a little cold, as if it had been ready for a while, but never brought out. I ate about half of mine and took the rest home. My wife only ate maybe 3-4 bites of hers. After reheating at home, the food itself was fine; I had corned beef & cabbage (yes, cliche) and my wife had fish & chips. We were given a basket of kettle chips around 8:30. The wait was long enough that my wife ordered a second beer (which she doesn't usually do); was a little disappointed that it wasn't comped because of the long wait. What made it worse was there were a few tables that were seated after us that got their food before us, including a party of 6 that finished, paid and left before our food even arrived. I'm willing to give the place a second chance on a different day. I get that St. Patrick's Day is probably a rough one for them. But if the kitchen is over an hour behind, that should probably be mentioned before any orders are taken. read more

I had lunch at O'Gannigan's and found the experience to be okay. Not good, but not terrible. That's true of the food, the atmosphere, and the service. It'll do in a pinch, I guess. read more

Service was great. Bartender was really nice. Food was meh. Not much seasoning and wasn't hot. Wouldn't recommend. Won't be going back again. read more

Tasty. Grateful that we have an Irish pub somewhat close by. We love stopping by after mass. Great service. I think they should play irish music too. Some sea shanties would be great! read more

I didn't eat any food. My beers were cold and served promptly by bartenders that paid attention. They had two guys playing guitar and singing. They were good, I wish I caught the name of their band/show. I was entertained by all the fights televised. Bare knuckle Fighting Championship is crazy cool! Anyway, this was a good time. I just wish they stayed open later than 10but I get the feeling most places closed at 10. read more

Good food ! Great service ! Fun atmosphere The food, the beverages, the atmosphere, and the price point make this place a must stop

Ok so I have been to Carmines in Philly.. been to By George too.. both in the RDM and honestly the cheesesteak here; kind of rocks. The crisp of the bread, and how they toast it perfectly... The ratio of meat to condiments is so beautiful. The cheese isn't too heavy, but there for your enjoyment. The onions and peppers not too sweet, not too tart... A perfect balance. I've eaten a lot of cheesesteaks... And this one ranks up there pretty freaking high. I'm sure the rest of the menu is amazing... But honestly, this might be the best kept secret of the place. Also, bartender/owner, Cecilia is awesome. Also ask for Lisa if she's there. read more

Not really an Irish pub, but Irish themed for sure. Had country line dancing the night we stopped in. Everyone seemed happy. Sat back in the bar. Pretty big area. Mixed crowd. Quick service. Beer was cold. Overall good to go. Nice bar in Prince Frederick! Recommended. read more

O'Gannigan's Irish Pub - the menu - Irish Pub Near Me - Prince Frederick, Maryland

My husband and I dropped by here on a whim, trying to find some new places to go and were definitely impressed. We went on line dancing night so they had line dancing lessons going on in the main space. We sat in the bar and watched. The lessons and music were definitely a little loud, but we we didn't mind due to the entertainment factor. Our food was good but not the best I have ever had. I got the fish and chips with kale and you could tell it was fresh, but the kale was a little greasy. Overall, we would recommend and will be returning. read more

Well I decided to give it another try, the menu hasn't changed the noise level is still the same even at 2pm. Before I continue with my review I want to first say just because you work at a bar doesn't mean that it's ok to drink with customers. The bartender that was working today 10.30.19 had 3 shots with customers at the end of the bar. Her first was a shot of straight whiskey don't remember the second but the third was I believe the Irish Tea again just because your a bartender doesn't mean it's ok to drink on the job. I ordered the fish and chips again when it came i I said this doesn't look. Like what I had the other day that was 2 pieces of dried up fish she said they changed the recipe. I moved the chips off the fish and it was COVERED in grease I even picked it up and showed the bartender the grease running off the fish. She did nothing (see my video) the coleslaw was yuk tasted like it was week old cabbage and other veggies. The chips were ok fries. My friend ordered the inferno wings said they weren't hot I don't care for hot food like that and dipped a fry in it and it wasn't hot . This place will never make it!! If they want to change they need to put a wall make the dinning room separate from the bar again play Irish music in the dinning room dim the lights have the servers dress nicely not skin tight jeans and a T-shirt. Put some explanation on the menu of each item not just fish n chip or Shepard's pie explain what's in the dish. If your looking for a bar to goto this is your place definitely NOT a restaurant. Will be just like the other places this building has been over the years soon to be a different restaurant. read more

See all

It is a gorgeous building, nice location and very friendly staff. Unfortunately, the 'Irish" aspect of this is a total sham. No Irish staff, no real Irish food. The Colcannon was completely inedible, a greasy swamp of oil pooling from cheese, bacon, butter and god knows what else...absolutely disgusting. Do NOT GO FOR FOOD. This is the beginning of a Kitchen Nightmares episode for SURE. Why do I give it 2 stars? As a bar, not a restaurant. It is a 1 start restaurant with a 3 star bar. Friendly bartender, okay selection of drinks, clean space and lots of entertainment with games. No idea why the owner decided to culturally appropriate the Irish so poorly...it is embarrassing to see. This is a traditional Americana style restaurant with clovers smacked on it's face. read more

Visiting family friends while traveling and stumbled on this fantastic Irish restaurant & bar. Excellent service, great atmosphere, and fantastic drinks. This restaurant was so good we went back for a second night for more food and drinks. Nothing bad to say, if you find yourself in Prince Frederick and need a good drink and food, you should check out O'Gannigan's, I'm positive you'll be happy you did. read more

O Hamgans was a movie it was so freakin litty. Obviously I got to-go food and got a ten piece wing Buffalo style and got a two more treats on the side (Reuben Rolls and chicken tenders) and each meal was better than the last. DJ Scoob was amazing and I also liked the arcade (I played Skeeball and may have hit the high score for all time on the machine but not sure because I couldn't see the list of high scores on the machine u less it was available elsewhere). Yeah, word to my mama, I'm out of my lima bean Don't wanna see what that drama mean, get some Dramamine read more

Superb: Food, staff, facilities, atmosphere. Had daughter's wedding reception there in October. Highly recommend. They will take care of you. read more

I was part of a very large group and they did a GREAT job accommodating us and giving us excellent customer service. Everyone in my party really enjoyed their food. I loved the wings as an appetizer. They were fried perfectly and the buffalo sauce was delicious. I had the fish and chips- the fish is BIG and I chose the lemon garlic kale as a side. It was good and a must have for garlic lovers. Several people ate the Reuben and all of them raved about how great it was. They liked that the beef tasted fresh and was great quality. If you're super hungry, try the Shepard's pie. It is huge and according to my friend, delicious. I loved that there are a lot of options on the menu, including some Irish items mentioned above and even a great burger. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Food ok - in general kids Grilled cheese is awesome - came in on a Friday night and the dueling music in two different areas with no sound separation and private parties was very uncomfortable for all - Any one event would have been rocking but all mixed was just a sound battle. read more

Have been here for dinner about half a dozen times and the food is always great. Recommend the Dubliner, shepherds pie, lamb stew....all are hearty and delicious. Shrimp and grits were some of the best I have ever had. Also a perfect pour on the Guinness pint and the mixed drinks are definitely not watered down. Can get kinda of loud at times, but hey it is a pub/bar. Service is great but they can get busy at times. Pub area has live music and events. read more

Horrible experience......went to celebrate family birthday. There was no one in the restaurant and only a few at the bar. It was a family celebration (private room) and someone brought in cupcakes for the children and one piece of diabetic birthday cake (for the birthday boy.) I believe the on duty manager (Emery) had a meltdown and told us we couldn't bring in outside food (we have done this many times at other local restaurants.) Then she demanded that we all leave. Most of the family didn't realize what was happening. Some didn't have their food yet. Waitress busted her butt and did a great job. Food was adequate. Emery had to show her a##. She not only embarrassed the family, the restaurant, but herself. I believe that there was a misunderstanding about the outside food and the cupcakes came from the bakery recommended by O'Gannigans. Doesn't really matter.....I will never do business with them again, along with the 20 family members in attendance. Plus I will speak poorly of this establishment. I hope O'Gannigans management hires someone that has some hospitality skills. read more

I'm gonna give it 4 stars because it's the only real bar in the area south of Anthony's. It's the old Greene Turtle. Lots of space but pretty slow during the week. I wasn't able to try their food but it seems like a decent place to come watch a game. Probably really 3 stars but it gets 4 for where it is, the other options available (or not available), and the fact they don't shut down at 8 pm. read more

went to your restaurant for first time today. Had large party of 14, called ahead, was told not a problem. There was one person running bar and waitressing for entire restaurant. She did her best but impossible job, we were standing at bar trying to get everything from water, beer, napkins, it was all but SelfServe. Food was terrible, came out in three different waves, it was quite evident food was all prepackaged, microwaved. Entire table middle income group, none of us would ever go back! I will share this story of this outing often. This is the first time i have ever had such a bad experience that i have complained at a restaurant. It was so bad i went home to type and complain more. If you have people actually making a living there / paying there bills it quite evident they will be looking for a job soon. I will be looking for the new place to open soon. Joe Crews read more

We went soon after indoor seating was opened back up after Covid and the staff were so nice and accommodating. We just had wings and pretzel sticks but it all was delicious. Everything was clean and there was plenty of space to spread out for anyone concerned with going out. We had fun sitting with friends and playing the jukebox. Lots of TVs so you won't miss any sports events. Our friends said trivia is lots of fun too! read more

Great service, the salad was very wilted. The beef was over cooked, but the flavor was there. I could tell my plate had sat under a warmer, but I actually liked the crispy texture. I may ask them to do that next time I go. read more

I came here a few nights ago and the service was extremely pleasant and convivial. Both the owner and server made sure that we were satisfied with everything and the food choices were unique and well done... especially their Bailey's milkshake. SO GOOD! read more

First time eating at O'Gannigan's this evening and disappointing is an understatement. The menu was very limited so I would've thought they could perfect the few meals they offer... not so much. Three of the meals came out nearly cold and the fourth was inedible. The waitress was very nice and tried to accommodate us but the food was just.not.good. We should have clued into the fact that the place was nearly empty except for the bar area. It's a shame Calvert County can't come up with a few decent restaurants. Save your money and eat at home. read more

Ok - on the positive side, my wife's chicken salad was amply portioned, delicious and decently priced ($10 for a good sized salad). On the other side - our server didn't write down my order so she forgot I had ordered anything - still waiting to see if anything arrives. In her defense she looked like the only server, but they're not very busy..... read more

Just pass this place by!! 1 of 2 people in the place at lunch! The service wasn't horrible but it wasn't good. My $11 bowl of chili was warm but not very warm. Once again it tasted okay but not good. I also ordered a half lb. of shrimp. They were extremely hard to peel. I had to ask twice for old bay. If I lived around the corner I might come back for a drink and give this place a 2nd chance but I don't. read more

first of all, these negative reviews are cap. fries were hot and crispy. service was outstanding and she holds a conversation with you. i recommned the reuben sandwich. it was 10/10. cold beer on draft, happy hour and activities daily. go check them out! read more

Everyone knows this place as where the green turtle use to be but honestly we had really good wings and Rueben sandwiches here. Not to mention the dj rocked. The server Madison and bartender Dale were super funny as well. 10/10 will come back again for some drinks and a good meal. read more

my friends and I from out of town came to this bar on a Saturday night. we tipped and asked the DJ for ONE song and he never played it, and gave us every excuse under the sun why he couldnt download it, find it, like we didnt live in the 21st century. Caroline, our server, was VERY disrespectful, and unprofessional that night. Just because you work there, does not give you the license to grab people by their shirts as we're trying go leave. Even the bouncers were telling her to back up. I will not recommend this bar to anyone, and things will never change at this bar. Different name, same BS. read more

O'Gannigan's is the change up Prince Frederick needs. It's not a chain. It's not Mexican. Not that there's anything wrong with Mexican, but we got 'em. It's not 100% Irish, either. You couldn't do 100% Irish in Calvert County. But there's Irish on the menu. There's American on the menu, too. And the staff is constantly asking for opinions and ideas to make things different. There is entertainment almost nightly. There are reservable spaces to do your thing, or for one of the social events. O'Gannigan's is a hub that the town needs. Go. Fish and chips! A major recipe upgrade. Fresh fillets washed in Guinness and delicately battered. Yum! read more

I've only been here twice but I have thoroughly enjoyed both visits. The food is delicious and the service is amazing, especially Angie! She is sooooo awesome.
