I used to really enjoy coming here, which makes our recent experiences even more disappointing. I grew up coming to Rory's, and when I got older, I continued the tradition by bringing my own kids here. Unfortunately, our experiences with one particular bartender have completely changed how we feel about this place. On several occasions, this bartender has been rude, dismissive, and unnecessarily disrespectful toward us. Most recently, when my wife simply inquired about ordering a cocktail and food, he told her, "We don't go to tables to wait this late," followed by, "You have to come to the fucking bar." There is absolutely no reason to speak to a customer that way, especially someone who was simply asking about ordering. This also wasn't an isolated incident we have had issues with this same bartender and his attitude several times in the past. It's unfortunate because Rory's was a place that held a lot of good memories for me and my family. However, after being treated this way repeatedly, we've reached our limit. We will not be returning.

2/28/26 - red velvet cake

I haven't been to Rory Dolan's in about 25 years; it's exactly as I remember it. A fun atmosphere, excellent food, and beverages. there's a Breakfast, lunch and dinner menu as well as seasonal specials. That doesn't happen very often anymore where you can go "home".. It made an otherwise somber occasion a little less sad. 2/28/26. We had a family memorial luncheon, originally reserved for 16 people, it soon became 20 people. Rory Dolan was very gracious and accommodating, rearranging tables to accommodate the group. We had a section in the upper dining area to ourselves. There's an extensive adult beverage menu, with of dozens of beers on tap and on ice, wines, and liquors. See photos. The food menu had the expected Irish fare; shepherds pie, salmon, corned beef, and cabbage, etc. There were some Italian inspired appetizers and mains, even Korean flavors. Everyone ordered whatever they wanted off the regular menu. Service was impeccable, the restaurant has an inviting ambience. I noticed there were a lot of "regulars" there this particular afternoon. It's still a pretty cool "watering hall". They have live music on the weekends and they also sponsor local event events.

Our absolute go-to after a long night out. The food is always amazing, and the energy here is unmatched. It has a lively, fun crowd that keeps us coming back every time. A true local favorite, highly recommend!

Brownie - warm !!

Stopped here for the Easter set menu, service was great, it was a full house, good vibe, they have private parking. The chicken vol-u-vant was so good and brownie as well. Chicken piccata came with delicious mash and veg. I recommend this restaurant for group dinners and special occasions.

Called ahead looking for Eggs Benedict at 2am, walked in and was given a prize seat at the bar by Loreen. I got sliders on recommendation from the barman and a dogfish 60 minute on tap. Then I made this review...It's lining up to be a great night, I can already tell. Yet another epic day begins and we're still early in 2026. #Love #Life #GodBless

Chicken Francaise

As a native from Yonkers this is truly a well known restaurant in the community. IYKYK. I have celebrated my birthday, promotion, and holidays here countless of times. The restaurant offers such a cozy family vibe from the decor to the staff. Rory himself often times walks around saying hi to everyone and it is such a pleasure to see him still all these years! I am not sure about the authenticity of the food but I have yet to have a meal I did not enjoy. For this particular dine in I brought visiting family members to try. I myself had the filet mignon bites with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. You can never go wrong with meat and potatoes! My mom decided on the chicken francese with baked potato. Another classic entree which was perfect and the lemon butter sauce so delicious! My cousins ordered the chicken fajitas. This is another popular entree amongst my family. It is so amazing how this is an Irish restaurant and they do fajitas better than most Mexican restaurants! No shade! It comes in its usual Smokey fashion but the onions, peppers and chicken are not charred! And it comes with a nice sauce that keeps the chicken moist! I washed down my plate with the classic Magners Cider which is my absolute fave. The star of the meal at Rory Dolans is always the dessert! I love how they always come up with new desserts and they bring a demo of each one so you can get a visual! I love brownies so of course got that while my cousins ordered the apple pie. Both are served warm and à la mode and soo decadent and delicious! Couldn't recommend this place more!

First time eating here and being in the area. Parking was a tad bit difficult as it is either street parking or getting the lucky with an open spot in their private lot. It was decorated very festive once you walk inside. It was overwhelming but also so pretty with all of the Christmas decorations. We started with mozzarella sticks as an appetizer, they were fried to perfection crisp on the outside and then gooey cheese on the inside. They also brought bread for the table which is also a plus as it had little mini soda breads as well. I ordered the chicken pot pie which was one of the most popular options. The puff pastry on top was huge and delicious when cut up and mixed into the pot pie. The pot pie has carrots, corn, peas, and green beans. I overall would probably never order it again as it was okay and the chicken had an odd taste to it. My boyfriend had ordered a Reuben sandwich which his only complaint was the bread was soggy because it was either not toasted or the sauerkraut and dressing were sitting too long on the bread before being served. The fries with his meal were delicious and rosemary flavored. Our friend ordered chicken fingers and waffle fries which was delicious and a perfect bar food dish. Our server was phenomenal and patient with helping making recommendations and ordering. It does get very crowded after 9pm they shut down the restaurant and the bar opens with a DJ.

We were in the area and was looking for a quick bite. It was about 10 PM on a Friday night and we decided to stop by atRory Dolan's Restaurant. The kitchen was still open, but we were limited to what we could order, but that's all good. Of course the bar was jamming and and the music selection was off the chain. Totally loved it. So I'd ordered Buffalo chicken fingers and a few Guinness. It'd hit the spot, as a matter of fact, anything will hit the spot when you are hungry. Although this restaurant/pub was packed, I was surprised how quick they were with bringing out our food. They also have outdoor seating which was quite nice. It'll be pleasant to sit outside and enjoy the great weather while either dining or sipping on a few drinks.

Do they have a salad bar now?

No they don't have a salad bar

Are they letting people sit at the bar?

Yes. However, they have installed Plexiglas dividers, so you'll only be sitting alone or next to the mall party you arrived with.

Is it true that they are offering $1 Oysters? If so, what are the restrictions (hours, days of week, etc.)?

I haven't heard that but if it's true I will be there also. Haha you can't go wrong if they do have that deal. I know when I did go there they didn't have that deal but maybe they do now. Haha if you find out before me let me know!

I was deciding between the turkey salad and the Chicken Salad Ciabatta from the lunch specials and asked our server how the chicken salad was, She said it was her favorite and that it was a lot of people's go-to, so I decided to order that. Our food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the Heritage Nachos, Loaded Tater Tot Skillet, Philly Cheesesteak, and the Chicken Salad Ciabatta. The nachos weren't really for me (I didn't love the type of chips used), but the tots were good and my boyfriend liked his cheesesteak. I absolutely loved the chicken salad sandwich and fries. I get a little fixated on foods I like, so I had honestly been craving that sandwich ever since. 3/14 SECOND VISIT: I decided to come back on March 14 specifically hoping to order the chicken salad sandwich again. It was much busier due to St. Patrick's weekend,I was alone, I was seated in a booth in the back. I was given the dinner menu, so I asked the server about the chicken salad sandwich I had previously ordered. She didn't recognize the sandwich but offered to ask the kitchen after I showed her a photo and the menu from my previous visit. Unfortunately she came back and said they couldn't make it. She suggested a grilled chicken sandwich, but I declined since I'm not really a fan of grilled chicken. I ended up ordering the turkey sandwich and asked for a few modifications (no stuffing or cranberry mayo, just regular mayo on a ciabatta). When the food came out, I immediately knew it wasn't turkey. I waited until the server came back and asked her to confirm what meat was on the sandwich. She initially told me it was turkey. After taking it apart & having a few bites I knew it wasn't turkey. I winded up eating the fries and asking for the bill. I decided to show her the inside of the sandwich again and asked her to double check with the kitchen, she returned and confirmed it was actually ham, even though the ticket showed that she ordered turkey. She did offer to remake the sandwich, but it would have taken another 10-15 minutes and at that point I was already over it. I ended up just paying, and leaving. I completely understand that menus change and servers can't memorize every item. I just wish the sandwich had been confirmed with the kitchen sooner when I questioned it the first time. Overall, my first visit was great, and that chicken salad sandwich was honestly amazing. I just wish the second visit had gone a little smoother.

I grabbed a tin of Shepard's pie for $7 (they had a hot option, but I wanted it for work the next day). It was quite tasty and a very good size for the price. In addition to the prepackaged reheatables and salads, they also have a hot food bar where you can get a fresh plate--small around $9, large around $12. It was post-Thanksgiving and they had roast turkey and sides--pretty decent as well--again, good portion for the price--I might have been a little turkeyed out at that point, though. They also have a sampling of sweets and pastries and a coffee/tea bar up front. A couple of stools if you want to eat in, but really seems best suited for grabbing something hearty and, well--not unhealthy, at any rate--for lunch or dinner when you don't have time to cook.
