    For many years, I have been eyeing this place up. Usually when I'm in Batavia though, I'm there on a Sunday, and O'Lacy's is not open. I came here with my parents and was so thrilled. Immediately when I entered, I felt a sense of home. This pub transported me back to Ireland. I miss Ireland so much. The entire vibes of the place were positive and homey and exuded friendship. I ordered the Uncle Louie with the famous chips and it didn't disappoint. I really liked the sauce that came on the side for dipping with the chips and sandwich. It had a good flavor. My mouth is watering thinking about this sandwich and chips. The service was great as well. It was only the bartender and waitress and every table was taken, as well as tables in the patio, so they were both hustling, but still attentive.

    O'lacys is known for their perfect guinness pour so we got two. Once we sat down, the server brought us water right away but it was a minute or two for the beer because of the fancy way they pour it. Then we went to order chips and she brought us chips and dip. She was pretty brash but it made sense there. The decor is interesting, old, and irish and the patrons are mostly older too. The food came out fast, we got a beef on weck and a turkey reuben. Both were good. The bill was affordable and a good value. O'lacys is no joke.

    I come here for lunch during work days. The service is fast and food is excellent. The homemade chips and honey mustard dip are to die for. Very light, flakey homemade chips that are totally addicting. The ramekin is pieces of chicken wrapped in bacon and bbq sauce- so good. Burger is actually 2 patties- very flavorful and tender. The Uncle Louie sandwich was a grilled turkey, swiss, bacon, and ranch on rye bread- also excellent. Go here! Its really good.

    Delicious and Affordable! My husband left the area back in 1996. Just before they opened in 1997. We stopped in the week we moved to Corfu. My husband wanted a place that felt like a pub in Buffalo and we got a place that gave you the feel of Ireland. They have amazing home made chips served with a lemon mustard dip. The menu has American food items with Irish Faire. Items you don't have to wait til St Patrick's Day to get. They also have Irish Live Music as well. Very cool place and glad we found it!

    This place is always busy . We stopped on a Thursday night and were lucky enough to get the last table. A nice older crowd (30's and older) We ordered their house chips ( garlic and Cajun) Both were delicious tasting. Waitress service was a little slow but considering the crowd acceptable. Would have given 5 stars however after our first round of drinks we went to order a secondhand were advised there was no more Bushnell's black label and no one had a key to the supply room. This is an Irish whiskey in an Irish bar how is that possible?!?!? Very disappointed. Bartender was great, not sure why they can't leave a key with him to store room.

    After a day way out passed the Rolling Hills Asylum fishing with friends I was visiting (which is WAY out of our normal rout) we looked up a place for us to grab a bite to eat. The service here was exceptional. My Shepherds pie was outstanding, and from the cleaned plates and satisfied smiles I'd hazerd to say everyone elses meals were also well above Par (the dipping sause was to die for or so I was told) The Guinness was perfect temperature, in an official Guinness pint glass and perfectly poured. Our exhausted fishing party was more than satisfied and cant wait to come back for more the next time were in Batavia

    I'm currently in the area for work and there really isn't a whole lot happening in Batavia. I searched for some decent grub and maybe 10 places popped up. I decided to grab lunch here around 1PM and the place was pretty full! Always a good sign that an establishment is actually good :) Staff and Service: The bartender was SO friendly, greeted me when I entered and made sure to say bye as I was leaving. I waited maybe 5 minutes to get my food from the time it was ordered. Food: I got the Reuben which came with one side $8.99, I opted for the tuna fish macaroni salad... don't get it, not very good, the pasta was too soft and tasteless. The Reuben on the other hand was probably one of the best I've ever had! It was so good I finished the entire thing in one sitting - as I write this review I'm am struggling with my food coma #beingafatty FYI: They charge a $0.25 fee for take-out orders, for the containers. Not a huge deal but worth mentioning.

    Excellent food, laid back atmosphere. Great place to grab a beer and dinner. Fast friendly service. Irish stew and Shepards pie were great. Good beer selection and pub decor. The home made chips are a must.

    So themed I love it

    This is great pub and the food is what you expect from a pub. It is generally good and you walk away satisfied.

When we walked in, another customer was raving about the food and telling us how much we'd enjoy it, which honestly made me feel a lot better about trying somewhere new in an unfamiliar area. The vibe is like a bar turned restaurant, dark and a little moody but not off-putting. My mom even got a cutesy leprechaun margarita, which made her smile. We started with 10 mild wings for the table, my sister got a Caesar salad and said the dressing tasted homemade, and this is where I tried French onion soup for the first time. It was okay, just really salty. My mom ended up finishing it, but I did like that the cheese layer wasn't too heavy. I'm still on the hunt for a French onion that really does it for me. I didn't get pictures of the mains, but my mom and I both got steak, I had mashed potatoes and she got a baked potato. My sister got the fettuccine alfredo and marveled at the flavor. She kept saying you can tell it's a local spot and not a chain just by the care put into it. My steak was good, nothing crazy but you really can't go wrong. The mashed potatoes were a little bland but still edible. My mom loved her meal and finished everything, while my sister and I both had leftovers. The only downside was the service. Our waitress wasn't very friendly, kind of impatient and a little passive aggressive, like we were bothering her just by being there. Given the lack of diversity in the area, it didn't completely surprise me, but it was still noticeable. We didn't let it ruin the night though. Overall we still enjoyed it and I'd go back if I'm ever in Batavia again. Reasonable prices, solid food. Taking everything into account, I'd give it a 6.9/10.

The Olde Angel is no exception. I love the history of the building and the quainess of the restaurant and bar. Have spent a lot of my life coming here and have always loved. The food today was not great. I wanted Shepherds pie and was told the mashed potatoes arent gluten free. I dont know what one does to mashed potatoes to make them not gluten free?!?!?!?! A bit shocking and that isnt really Shepherds pie. I was told I could have rice but that REALLY isnt Shepherds pie. Lol. So I opted for a burger no roll. The burger was overcooked. I shoveled it in and called it a night. We sat in the bar at a long table and a wonderful couple ended up sitting with us and pretty much we all had dinner together and talked. Was really nice. I would definitely say go and experience the history and from what I hear the fish and chips and the Shepherds pie are great if u can eat them. Lol. You won't be disappointed but go and take in the rest of Niagara on the Lake for a day too.
