We had early dinner as Harvest Host members, 2nd time spending the night in our RV. Luckily there was a happy hour menu and good deals for food and drinks. Service was excellent and a nice atmosphere. Not many Harvest Hosts nearby so this location is very convenient and hosts are laid back, too. Just show up and have a drink or a meal and good to go!

Irish Beef Stew - Rich & flavorful
Jeannine M.

After a few nights on the road Shawn O'Donnell's was a welcome and delicious treat. We were seated right away and ordered the most delicious Guinness Beef Stew and an excellent Chicken Pot Pie with enormous and tasty chunks of white meat chicken in a very well prepared gravy. The crust was flaky and delicious. We finished off the meal with a comforting bread pudding. Service was exceptional! Friendly and attentive. The decor is Ireland all the way. Curiously near the very clean restrooms was an interesting and unique collection of magic memorabilia. If we lived closer O'Donnells would be a regular haunt for us; the menu for breakfast and lunch looked amazing. So much comfort food and really well prepared. It's like you can taste how much the cooks enjoy their work!!

Smithwicks and a Powers Rye
Netta M.

Can't at all speak to the food, but had excellent service at the bar. Reasonable prices, large beer and whiskey selection, friendly bar staff. 10/10 will return

Cheers!

It's solid. Traditional Irish fare with generous portions. The restaurant is nice inside with comfortable seating and room for large parties. Service is typically fast and friendly. Pricing is good. Some dishes are better than others. I'm a big fan of the Guinness beef stew, the homemade chicken tenders and the turkey dinner. I was less impressed with the Irish broil - the meat was decent, but the marinade had an odd flavor that I ended up masking with gravy. Great beer selection including Irish favorites like Kilkenny, Guinness and Smithwicks.

Clean, great service, and great food. Love the food and service. The server was very polite and gave great service. We had live music playing good Irish tunes. Try them out for a nice cozy relaxing meal. This is agreat location for date night.

Whiskey Mac & Chz for my husband Irish Meatloaf for me

Husband surprised me for a wonderful dinner here! We arrived at 8:43pm not knowing they were closing at 9pm John helped us with both drinks and food and recommendations and not once rushed us out the door. This was my first time here but it definitely won't be my last even if I do have to drive an hour away from home. The cooks, staff and face of our night John really made our experience superb! Loved the ambiance here at Shawn O'Donnell's

Wee Breakfast

Great food and the food came out fast. The service was little slow but think to many big parties showed up after I walked in. Great atmosphere will come back

Good cup of tea with breakfast
Shaun G.

Writing this review because we stopped here for breakfast and most of the reviews I read are for lunch and dinner. This is a good place to stop for breakfast. It was busy but we were seated right away. The service was good and efficient. Everything we ordered was good and if you're hungry or looking for something different the full Irish breakfast is a good option. I don't like black pudding so they were willing to give me two pieces of white pudding. I would definitely stop here again for breakfast or probably any time of day.

Gorgonzola burger was awesome
Ric V.

Rachael was a fantastic server. She handled a table full of senior citizens very well. Very cool decor. The gorgonzola burger was outstanding. The fries were seasoned perfectly.

The bar is gorgeous
Nanette P.

The food was so yummy. We had the corn beef and eggs Benedict. The staff was very friendly and the service excellent. The Irish themed music added to the overall feel of the place.

Corned Beef Reuben
Robert M.

I stopped in at Shawn O'donnel's for lunch and had a totally excellent meal. The marbled rye tasted great. The caraway seed was very present and added to the great taste of the bread. The sauerkraut was on point! Tangy and crisp. But, the star of the sandwich, and rightly so, was the corned beef. So tender that it did not resist biting into and it melted in my mouth. All in all, a superb sandwich and a joy to eat! The wait staff was excellent. They didn't hover but always seemed to be available when I needed them. I was thoroughly entertained by the Irish decor. I've always wanted to visit Ireland, and I'd like to think it would be something like the atmosphere of Shawn O'donnel's.

This was my second time visiting Shawn O'Donnell's for breakfast and I must say, they are definitely up there on my list of great places to get brekky in the valley. The vibe here is definitely upscale Irish pub meets farmhouse; an ode, I'm assuming, to the previous establishment that made a legend of itself on the local scene over many decades. Shawn O'Donnell's kept many of the og The Farmhouse elements while making it their own. The morning menu features American-style favorites, and some traditional Irish grub too. They also have a full bar, and offer a brunch buffet on Sundays for just $22/person. On this Saturday morning visit, we shared a farmer's omelet and one of their giant cinnamon rolls. It was more than enough for the two of us. Can't wait to come back and try that brunch buffet!

The one with clams had smoked tomatoes in the broth. The other had fennel in the broth. Both were unique and tasted outstanding. Our waiter Moe added to the time we were there. We will definitely go back.

Came here with my husband on a rare date night. I was REALLY excited about this place. The menu had…read morea lot of our favorite dishes. For starters, we ordered the artisan bread, a dozen oysters, and the beet salad. As someone who bakes and sells my own artisan sourdough, I was underwhelmed by the bread. I liked the touch of truffle they add to it but it needed salt. And it also needed to be on the table well before the 35 minutes we waited for it. The oysters were also not very memorable. I can't remember what one of the varieties was, but they were brinier than I care for but that's just a personal preference. The kumamotos were the TINIEST oysters I've ever seen. I've eaten my share of kumamotos and I know Japanese oysters are generally smaller and sweeter than other varieties (which is why they're my favorite) , but I'm not exaggerating when I say they were the size of quarter. I also didn't like the frozen mignonette they served as an accoutrement. It didn't seem frozen--it spread like jam. It didn't really taste like vinegar or shallot like mignonette should. It was just not very good. The beet salad was EXCELLENT. The chèvre was generous, the bitter micro greens tasted great with the beets and chèvre. It was well seasoned. We devoured it. For entrees, I had the dayboat scallops and my husband had the duck leg. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the leek risotto was very tasty. I'm not really sure what I was supposed to do with the pickled lemon on my plate. I tried to eat a small piece with the other elements and it was so overpowering that I left the rest on my plate. Now let's talk about the protein--my $52 scallop dish came with THREE scallops. Not even whole scallops as I'm pretty sure they were cut in half to cook more evenly. Three small 1/2 scallops and two cubes of pork belly. For Fifty-two dollars. My husband enjoyed the duck, but again, the portions were disappointing. $230 later, we ended up going through a drive through because we were still hungry. Unlikely we'd return after such an expensive meal left us so unsatisfied.

The bar was full from the minute we walked in, with a lively mix of diners and people enjoying drinks. They had great drinks and a good selection of pours. I ordered the fish and chips, which were excellent. The service was outstanding... fast, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. We had dinner, watched the football game, and enjoyed a few drinks. It was a great time, and the location is especially convenient, just an easy walk across the street from the Majestic Inn. My only complaint was how close the bar stools are mounted to the bar, which made them uncomfortable for a taller person. Aside from that, it was a great experience and definitely a place I would happily visit again.

My family enjoyed this place the first time they came. It has nice pub decor and good drinks…read more This time around we got the fish and chips, steak sandwich and lamb burger with onion rings. The fish and chips were good and had a nice crisp breading. The fried were battered and fluffy inside. The sandwich had a good ratio of meat to bread and a nice au jus. I ordered the lamb burger with the mango chutney on the side in case it had chili pepper in it. They had to take an extra minute to fix my burger because they accidentally put the chutney on them, at which point I did clarify that I can't eat chili. It arrived and looked nice with a very fluffy bun. First bite in I could tell there was some kind of chili in the lamb patty (which was unexpected as it's a Mediterranean inspired dish with feta). I couldn't eat the rest of it so I paid $22 bucks for some thick soft onion rings. This place does not offer for you to choose your burger cook temperature either, which is a little odd since their patties are very thick 1/2 pounders. This burger was definitely overcooked and very dry. The mango chutney tasted good but really did not go with the Mediterranean taste of the dish. I'm sure my family would return here and rate it 4 stars, I probably won't return and I rate it 2 stars (so I am splitting the difference here).

Our waitress was so kind! We started off with the calamari and pork belly bites. LOVED the calamari - perfect spices and flavor to it, loved the addition of banana peppers. Usually they put fresh jalapenos with it at other places. The pork belly bites were a nice appetizer and the marination was pretty good. A little chewy to my liking but was not bad! We saw that they had the fiesta flight and my buddy really wanted to try it so we did! There were 4 mini margaritas: the blue Hawaiian, the raspberry coconut, the spicy classic and the peach. The peach was my absolute favorite! The others were OK -- the blue Hawaiian was literally like the blue Hawaiian juice (my buddy said it tasted like koolaid so not the best...). The raspberry coconut was a little off...not sure what it was. With the flight, it came with 3 little appetizers. Shrimp ceviche, mango and other fruits with Tarin and Mexican crema corn (there's a name for it but blanking...) Shrimp ceviche was not bad, a touch of pico de gallo. The mango fruit with Tarin was definitely different - you can taste the spice! I didn't really like the Mexican creama corn...flavors were kind of off and there was more cream than corn. Our main entrees were pretty delicious! They ran out of the braised pork shank. I settled with the hangar steak. Loved the carrots, snow peas and mash potatoes. My buddy got the grilled salmon and that was DELICIOUS! We also got the loaded potato skins which were a nice appetizer to end the night. (Yes we got a lot of food! My buddy and I tend to do that on our food adventures lol) Lots of screen TVs as expected around the restaurant and it was mariners night so the staff was easy to identify. We'd come back!
