I stopped in here from out of town quite often. I've been coming here for the past four years I live in Maryland, but I always stop by here when I'm up this way for hostess had a smile could light up a stormy night and my waitress Caroline was extremely busy but extremely attentive. She also went up and helped at the front door when the busy seating incoming patrons I observed Caroline maintain a smile, even though she was busy with multiple potatoes I was a general manager for 12 years at a $15 million property I AGM as well as manager in the hospital Kudos to your management training staff you have, they always make this location, a treat to come into read more

I've been here many times. Both in the & the restaurant. I've have great service most of the time,since they opened. The food is really hit or miss the past couple of years. I've been on many 1st dates here. Great place, but can get loud in the bar when games are on. read more

Two of us dropped in for lunch. We have been to the Chicago location and liked the food. We ordered the caesar, burnt ends pork belly, and fish and chips. The Salad was a decent size with good dressing shaved parm and a few croutons. The PB was really good. Freshly cooked a most were melt in your mouth they were dusted with a nice spicy seasoning. The sauce was wrong for the dish though. It needed something sweet to balance the spice. The fF&C was generous portion. nice moist fish with a non-crispy batter. The fries were good and plenty. Only issue with service was we ordered a root beer and diet coke. We got the RB but no glass and no diet coke. So we had to ask for it. weird we didn't get both at the same time. . read more

Erin is hands-down our favorite server! My boyfriend and I love our date nights, and Erin always makes them even more special. She remembers us every time we come in, knows our usual food and drink orders, and makes us feel so welcome. At the same time, she's never afraid to recommend something new, and her suggestions are always amazing. Her attentiveness, kindness, and overall genuine hospitality make every visit memorable. We always look forward to seeing her, and she's a huge reason we keep coming back. Thanks Erin, for making our date nights so enjoyable! read more

Food is good and service is good. But they don't ask if you want a straw--they automatically stick a plastic straw in every drink. Even when I told the server it wasn't necessary we got one anyway. read more

The management is pretty sad. They stopped karaoke without warning. Not enough money-spending patrons for it to be worth their while. The explanation was pathetic. Then they put out the ad for karaoke bingo a couple of weeks later.... with BIG PRIZES... lol read more

A very nice & charming place to dine in. The staff is very nice as well. But for what we had for the high prices is not worth it at all. I dislike this Smash Burger hype. When people are going to a pub I would expect a big juicy cheeseburger. Not too mini burgers on a small bun with over melted cheese. Also I think the burger was $19. We were charged a extra $3 for french fries which were hot but not that good. When a place charges so much we expect more for what they are spending. To me this was almost like a high end fast food place. The inside is very nice. But not worth paying such high prices & then to have to leave a tip on top of that. There are so many other wonderful places to eat at nearby & also around Gurnee mills. I rather eat at a place where the portions & quality of food comes before the fancy charm of the restaurant. The bathroom was very fancy too which is fine. I would have enjoyed the food if it was good & more homemade. read more

Great food,great service and a awsome surver named Andrew played trivia with us he was the best surver I've ever had.

More often than not we dine in, but this particular review is for a carry out order we did for dinner. Three words, birria grilled cheese - it sounds interesting but it was delicious. We had to order it for carry out but it was still just as good getting to us. The consume could've had a bigger kick but honestly still so good either way! We also got a Cesar salad with salmon, and the portions were decent for the price. Overall a great dinner, other favorites we've had there are their wings, you also can't go wrong with any of their burgers. We have yet to attempt The challenge but it's certainly on our bucket list! read more

One of the better sports bars and pubs in lake county large space for any occasion great food and drink specials TVs could be newer but still good views throughout read more

This place doesn't have insulation so every shout and scream is magnified 5 x. If you can't eat because of all the loud voices, go somewhere else. They don't care about the noise level or your eardrums. read more

Always love it here. It's close and always a great time. I had the simple ladies lunch of chicken fingers lol and It never disappoints. I usually sit at the bar to show off my legs in a skirt, socialize and meet guys and it's perfect for that. Today was a first date and will lead to more I'm sure. The bartenders and servers are wonderful. read more

I like the brand but seriously with the prices on a smash burger... come on. Beware of their marketing honk ox of special prices on apps and then they cut the portion in half like the price. Ambiance is a bar restaurant. It's fine if you are looking to overpay for mediocre bar food because of location. The other locations are better with the food. read more

Food was fresh and hot ordered the salmon with broccoli and carrots - super delicious and healthy for the low carbohydrate diet I am on. Service was good and attentive. Ambiance was a good noisy and yet intimate- I could hear my Co- working talking all through Happy hour Food and Special drinks like white sangria. Check out this location vs Liberty vile slightly better parking, read more

We recently went to O'Toole 's in Gurnee. A great atmosphere, very friendly service ! Food is average bar food (nothing stood out, the fries were very soft but still tasted good). But look at the Bloody Mary!! With tons of food and even a small bottle of beer aside. This attracted the whole table's attention and for $30 still somewhat reasonable. read more

Honestly, I don't know what to say about this visit although the service was very good. It's obvious that the waitress had more tables that she could handle ordering just appetizers and a side salad didn't seem too complex that we'd give the artichoke cards to try all I can say is do not order absolutely horrible. It taste like canned artichokes that they dipped in batter and fried mushy not seasoned absolutely atrocious. You can't go wrong with pretzels and a salad. Luckily, our drinks were decent and came to us in timely manner. Although I doubt we will be going back. I just cannot believe that they actually thought those artichoke hearts Were a good item to put on the menu. read more

Amazing food. I was in town for work for three weeks. This was the best food in the area.

Everything was great, sat at bar, very friendly bartender Food is so good regardless of what you have on menu, there nachos the best around same with wings read more

I finally had a chance to visit this restaurant after driving by it so many times. I went to eat lunch and the atmosphere was friendly. The waitstaff were kind and the food was delicious.

This is your classic let's-go-watch-the-game-at-the-bar type of vibe bar. Wide beer selection, variety of bar food, and tons of TVs. There's also a burger challenge if you're feeling dangerous. For food, we started off with the nachos and pretzel bites. Pretty classic except the pretzel bites were fried and the sauces took you to flavor town. We also split the Derby Burger and the Ribs Basket (with upgraded garlic parm fries of course). The burger was scrumptious! The combo of sweet from the jam, saltiness fattiness of the bacon, and creamy texture of the Brie worked perfectly. My suggestion, go for the burgers when you go - there's tons of options. The garlic parm fries were good, but for me next time, I wouldn't spend the extra $3 for the upgrade. Our server rocked it! The meal was a messy one for sure. When our server saw us licking our fingers, she brought a ton of napkins. So thoughtful! Keep in mind that each Timmys I've been to has a slightly different vibe. This one had a larger food menu and a less dive-bar feel than the one Downtown. Both fun! Just slightly different. read more

We had a really good corn beef and cabbage dinner there last night. $22. It included carrots and boiled potatoes.

Love the atmosphere and the food. Brussels sprouts are especially good! Beer selection is great!

When I find a product, service or food that is 100% completely worth my dime I tend to stick to it. Called in an order and I really wanted to try the "Dublin smash burger" but was informed no longer offered. The lovely lady that took my call said they have a new burger. Bacon grill cheese smash burger!!!! I paired it with Parmesan tots, which thankfully I was given way more than before. I speak up when service or food is bad and I praise when it's excellent. EXCELLENT SERVICE, FOOD!!! read more

Went for a little Friday date and our server Haley was great! We always go for the wings or the Chicago fire burger & they are always delicious!! The manager Kim came over as well to check on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Felt at home with all the great service! We will for sure be returning :) read more

Music was too loud. Made it difficult to have conversations with my guest. When I was asked if it could be lowered so we could talk to each other, I was told no, this is the level we keep it at. I find thats funny because the first time I was here it was not this loud. I guess I will not return. read more

Coming from out of town, we found O'Toole's while looking for a local eatery with a diverse menu for our group. The real hit across the table was the brussels sprouts chips! Those who ordered salads thought the tarayaki bowl was excellent and flavorful, while the orange chicken bowl was too spicy at the expense of flavor. I had the reuben and found it to be average - lots of beef for some savory tones but lacking in the tangy, tart and nutty character I expect from the dressing and cheese. read more

Our waitress Erin at O'Tools, is amazing. She is the most courteous and gave us the best burger choices. She is a cut above all employees here at this location. Thank you for putting up with us!!! read more

After an exciting day over at Six Flags, we needed a place to unwind and grab a bite and Timothy O'Toole's was just the place. We were seated right away and presented with a nice variety of items on the menu, but had our eye on the giant Bavarian pretzel to start with and some drinks. I opted for the Black and Tan variation with Guinness and Modelo, which was amazing. As for our mains, I went with the French Dip, with a side of horseradish sauce, and my daughter went with the fish tacos. She seemed to enjoy hers quite a bit and the French Dip was outstanding, and the addition of the horseradish was a pleasant surprise. Yes, this establishment is a sports bar with TVs placed strategically throughout, but it is listed as being family friendly, which was helpful. Even with some bobbles (they didn't have the giant pretzel, but replaced it with a similar item and took it off our bill), the service was wonderful and accommodating. Fun spot, extensive menu with dishes as well as both beers and cocktails, and excellent service? That's Timothy O'Toole's. read more

Service was excellent. We sat at the bar because it was a 20 minute wait. Our bartender was prompt and worked out excellent. Bloody Mary was solid. My wife tried the wings and fries. Buffalo sauce was really good and not too greasy. Wings are not breaded which we like. I had the Original burger which was cooked perfectly. My side was The tots which were crispy. I also tried a cup of chili...a little thin for my liking but flavor was outstanding. Would not hesitate to stop here again heading to or from Wisconsin. Quick tip----if it's cold out do not sit in bar seats nearest the door. read more

This is a great place to grab a beer and an appetizer. My burger was very dry and under seasoned. They have a good selection of beers and make good cocktails. The cheese curds were my favorite. The wings were very dry, and the parmesan fries are not worth the up charge. read more

It was dinner time on Thursday we were seated right away, it filled up quickly after we sat down. I liked the amount of TVs around the bar, great place to watch a game. The waitress was training a new waitress and I thought she did a great job and it made the experience enjoyable with them both. Started with the French onion soup, the broth had a bold taste with lots of flavor, a good balance of onions, and the cheese was nice and golden brown. The Michigan salad had a good balance of each ingredient. The flavors paired great together, and it did not even have a protein choice on the salad. The fish was very crunchy, and lots of meat inside. Very light and flaky, not over cooked. Both the regular fries and truffle fries were delicious. Both very flavorful, crunchy, and not dried out inside. The burger was spicy, with Irish ghost sauce and at first glance I thought it would be franks red sauce that I am not a fan of. It was packed with flavor and had a great balance of several flavors. Overall I really enjoyed the restaurant. read more
