Katie O’ Connor’s Pint House and Eatery Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    Great outdoor area to sit, it isn't very picturesque, but it is a nice big area. We went on a Saturday night and it wasn't very busy, it's not in a very populated area and most of the other stores and restaurants were closed in the same strip mall. There was a band playing older music, gotta love live music!! I got a burger and fries and they were delicious. My husband got something called a boxty. I think you can only get it at Irish places. It was so good! It was a huge thin pancake filled with corned beef, cheese, and sauerkraut.

    This seems like it could be a really fun place to hang out. We came in around 9pm on a Friday and it was pretty empty, but had been packed just a few hours earlier. I opted for the $3andchange captain morgan special, and the drink was actually medium sized with some strength too- a very good deal! My guy picked out two listed beers from their menu, a top choice and a backup, both of which they were out of, and kind of a bummer to hear, so he had to pick quickly for a third option. Service was friendly and mostly efficient- at times it felt a little slow for how many people were there, but the waitress was totally fine letting us move from outside to inside and did a good job checking on us in both locations. Seems like this place is a good place to hit up for some drink deals and to watch a game. I'd definitely return.

    I've been here twice - and frankly, I was hoping visit #2 would be so good that I'd be able to write an upgraded review. Unfortunately that's not the case. Nothing about the bar was bad or negative, but basically: nothing stood out either. Our first visit was for dinner, and though the menu was large, we either all chose bland entrees or seasoning is used sparingly. The second time was for drinks only - the patio looked great. We chose to sit inside but it was so empty! It's a neat spot and a great location for those in the North Plainfield area - drink specials do look great! Given that I can just about walk here, I know I'll be back. And hopefully, I'll have better reviews to write!

    This place has all the makings of a great little neighborhood pub. I've only been there twice for a late lunch and there isn't much of a late "luncher" crowd, but a pretty good early bar crowd. The bar was full with what appear to be mostly regulars. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is friendly, but not overly attentive. The food is decent, but the menu is large and a bit confusing. It's an Irish eatery with Cajun catfish, fish tacos and fajitas. The Irish food is the reason I go to an Irish restaurant. I've had the Shepherds Pie and the Rueben Boxty, both good with generous portions. They have a nice selection of beer on tap and a full bar. Overall, it is a good little place for a meal and an ale or two!

    Nice Irish pub with a pretty varied menu. Went with pretty traditional fare, like fish and chips and a boxty. The boxty was a bit non-traditional, in that it was a Reuben boxty. The pastry was somewhat like a very thick crepe. The fries had a good crunch on the outside. The service was attentive. I'm a big eater, and took half the boxty home.

    Had a wrap for lunch, decent food. Didn't catch the beer menu as I wasn't drinking today. Mulitple tv's to catch a game from any seat in the house. Cheers.

    I walk into bar sit down, I come in once in a while and bartender should know what I drink by now. I ask for a bud. He brings me a budlite!!! Ok so I drink half of it and get up to go to bathroom with half beer and money on the bar. I come back to bar from bathroom and my beer and money is gone!!! So bartender comes back up to me and asks if I want another beer. I say yes. He brings me a miller lite, lol!! This place wasn't even busy. Bartender needs to quit and get a different profession. Horrible. Guy bartender to boot

    My husband and I had the displeasure of dining at this restaurant. We arrived at 4pm to an empty restaurant and put in our appetizer and meal orders as well as our drink orders. Our drinks arrived and that was the last we saw of our server. 30 minutes passed.... We sat there with no appetizer and no one checking on how we were doing. The restaurant was nearly empty so it was hardly a case of being busy. Finally someone arrived (not our server) and asked if we needed drinks. My husband ordered another beer. We noticed the man (who was not our server) went over and watched the TV not putting in our beer order. Suddenly our elusive server showed up and we asked about our appetizer. He said it was being put in along with our entrees. It was already 30 minutes, how much longer were we to wait for our appetizer or were we expected to eat it with our entrees? At this point my husband's second beer arrived. Neither of us were willing to wait another 30-45 minutes for our appetizer and /or entrée. We requested out bill for our drinks and left. At no time was an apology for the delay expressed to us, instead we were made to feel ignored, unwelcomed and a burden. Considering the restaurant was almost completely empty, we were surprised at the lack of service. We left and went only about a mile down the road to another restaurant where we had good service and were able to enjoy our appetizer and main meal within a normal time period. NEVER ever going back. We ate there once before and the service was sketchy but passible and the food was good. This time, the food wasn't worth the crappy service. Sorry but if you don't want me there, I won't be there.

    Katie O'Connors is a great place to meet up with friends and share the day. They have a great selection of beers from around the world and atmosphere is like a true Irish pub. The food is also killer. It's also a great place to bring the family as like a traditional Irish pub, it's geared to spending time and relaxing. They have a great outdoor space with free wifi so you can work when needed while enjoying a pint!

    It's a cool place to hang out and have a pint. Their food is very nice as well, I order burgers and sandwiches and am never disappointed

    I love that it's close to home. Love, love, love the nacho platter. Great place to grab a couple drinks, watch a game and enjoy some food.

  • Kevin B.

    The food here is very good. It is much more a restaurant than a Pint House, so if you're looking to eat it's a good choice. If you're looking to drink, to me it's less a bar and more restaurant.

    Katie's is great for the Bears games!!!! Free buffet at halftime and the owner is super friendly and great staff! You should check it out!

  • Eric P.

    Not from the area, went based on the Yelp reviews. I hope this was just there bad day. Went on a Sunday for a late lunch. One server and one bartender. Server didn't know the soups or beers on tap. Booth was so dark we had to use our cell phones to read the menus for lighting. No music, 1/2 of the TV's were off....ghost town. Both ordered Reuben's. Soup arrived with the meal (cold). Sent them back to only have them returned microwaved. Now the drinks arrived! Sandwich's were dry and mashed potatoes were bland. I would have given them a 1/2 star but yelp doesn't have that option....Irish bar and the Reuben was bad! Will not return!

    Service has always been meh and now the food is negative meh. I think they have decided that the bar is more important than the food and it shows. Will not be back.

    Great neighborhood bar. Owner takes care of you if you need to host an event. Great staff, good beer prices, great bartenders, great food. This is a great place to watch sports. Multiple tv's, projector screens and audio system throughout bar. Always busy on weekends and holidays, come early.

    Great place to get a drink and meal on special and watch a game or live entertainment. BEST BLOODY MARY IN PLAINFIELD ($3 Sundays!). On away game days they have a free buffet at halftime... what other place does that? I love this place.. my only complaint is that it isn't closer! I wish downtown Plainfield had a place like this!

  • Kimberly K.

    Horrible service-very rude. My family and I were just there tonight to see a good friend of ours perform and there were very few tables in the room to allow for patrons to sit and enjoy the music, yet there was a lot of empty space where tables could have been moved in. There were many empty tables in the dining area that could have been moved into the bar area but when I asked for one of them to be moved, I was rudely told by the manager that it couldn't be done. A waitress saw us standing there for 10 min and she came up and asked if we wanted a table to be moved in and when she went up to the manager, he said no. No one even tried to bring us chairs to sit on until a table may have opened up. The manager and the staff, with the exception of the one waitress, were extremely rude and unaccommodating. We would have liked to have sat and had a few drinks and maybe some appetizers. Unfortunately, they lost that sale. Really bad experience. Doesn't even deserve the one star I was forced to give it.

    It's a great something for everyone menu. Always excellent. Service is bit slow, but foods worth the wait. T.v.s are often too loud but we do sit in bar area. There is a nice quieter dinning area if you wish. We've visited 3 or 4 tomes now and still plenty we want to go back and try.

    I've eaten here a few times and have always been pleased. Tonight I picked up my order to go, while I was waiting I enjoyed a nice beer, even though my food was ready. After leaving the establishment and bringing my food home I realized that they had forgotten my burger. I called them and informed them of the mistake and they apologized and let me know that they would do what they could to fix the mistake. Upon returning they heavily apologized and gave me money back for the cost of my meal and my time. Never have I ever received such genuine apologetic attitudes for a mistake, even allowing me to get another beer on the house. People are people and mistakes do happen. They went above and beyond for me, and I am very grateful. The food was wonderful and I greatly appreciate how much they care about their customers. Bravo for handling in issue like this in such a wonderful manner!! The customer service alone is worth patronage! The food just as well! :-) it was absolutely delicious.

  • Holly L.

    Food was excellent (Friday night fish fry is a bargain at 7.95 for all you can eat). Prices were reasonable. Decor is lovely (especially the bathroom sinks - seriously, check them out). Only thing keeping it from being 5 stars is that the service could have been more attentive.

    After a weekend away at the fam's, we decided we wanted to spend a bit of our afternoon out on a beer garden. We hadn't eaten lunch, knew Katie O'Connor's was close and decided to head over. The inside looked nice while we were walking through, but our action was on the outside. We went out to the beer garden and sat. The beer garden half-full of tables and chairs, and a bar was up against one wall. We went in mid-May and they may have still been setting up -- this could be an outstanding beer garden. Our waitress was a high point -- she was nice and courteous. She also paid attention when my gentleman companion said he liked olives, by finding him the serving of pasta salad that had the most visible olives. The food, however, was a bit of a disappointment. I had a bbq chicken wrap and caught some untrimmed chicken that I had to spit out. My lunchmate had a forgettable burger. Fries were pretty solid, but that was offset by the fact that the pasta salad comes in cafeteria-style plastic containers with the tops on. I would go back for beer and may try their appetizers. I definitely want to see their beer garden in the summer!

    By far the BEST grilled chicken sandwich I have ever had. Large strips of bacon on it. Good cole slaw. I wish the fries were homemade. I'm not crazy about their fries. Drinks are good. Fun atmosphere. We enjoy throwing bags on their patio. Karaoke is fun here too and i enjoy the live bands. I can't eat anything but the chicken sandwich because it is consistently good, but I hear the rest of the food is good.

  • Jeff B.

    We went to O'Connor's for lunch. This used to be a steakhouse, but has been closed for the longest time. I don't have high hopes for this restaurant either. For a lunch hour, the service was lousy. The place was not really busy but we waited and waited for everything. The food wasn't really that great either. I had the Philly Cheesesteak Boxty and it seemed that they forgot the cheese part. The fries were good, but alas, the damage was done. I fear this cannot make my list of good places for lunch around Plainfield, especially with Finnegan's just five minutes away.

  • Deanna B.

    Went in here last week... No one asked us if we wanted anything THE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE THERE!!!! Saw the waitress at the bar chatting with the bartender the entire time. She must not have wanted my money. Fine. I'll keep it. No problem. Der.

    You get good value at Katie O's. Rather it's the daily specials or the traditional items on the menu prices are low. I'm not crazy about the apps here. But, the most food items are decent. Fish fry on Fridays are a hit. Most Irish items are good. More craft beer is needed at Katie O's.

    We had a groupon otherwise i don't think we ever would have gone here, its a bit out of the way for us. We were excited to try a new place though... and on a search for some good fish and chips. the waitress could care less... she never filled up our drinks on her own, she stomped around back and forth with hardly an acknowledgment of our table when she would pass by. no bedside manner whatsoever. but i think she was saving that for her patio tables that were drinking up a storm. whatever. we started with the Irish Nachos. they were good, except that it seemed like the bacon only made it to one side of the plate. it was a good thing that i filled up on these. The BF had the fish n chips and his only complaint was that it seemed like they tried to piece smaller pieces together into one and fried it. but he said they were good, the batter was good, they tasted good. i had the bangers and mash. the mash was pretty good, the gravy was pretty good. the green beans were tasteless and the bangers tasted like frozen jimmy deans sausages. not good. not good at all. i wasn't going to make a big deal out of it, but i just couldn't stomach the sausage at all. the waitress asked, and i said i didn't like them. she barely said sorry and handed us the bill. the BF asked if she could remove my dinner since i had only eaten one sausage and hardly any of the potatoes or greens. she said she'd go ask. she came back and handed us a new bill that only had the groupon taken off and a balance of $2. she didn't include the original bill (listing the entrees)... i knew she was being shady. we did the math, she hadn't had my entree removed and wasn't going to say a thing about it. whatever. it was a groupon, i won't be going back. i don't think i would go back here at all. i'll have to look into some of the other places nearby. and for bangers and mash, i am sticking with Ballydoyle.

    My husband and I bought a Groupon for the restaurant and went to redeem it the other day. We were seated right away. Then waited 10 minutes for our server. I'm assuming from her sweatshirt and flip flops, she was not the usual waitress, but rather a bartender who was subbing. We order drinks. Waited. Got drinks and placed our order. Waited. Received our appetizers and entrees at the same time, which is my biggest pet peeve. When we were finished we waited another 20 minutes for our check. However, the food was delicious. We order the Irish nachos for the appetizer, and it was bomb. Our Reuben and O'Paddyy Melt sandwiches were great and the fries were phenomenal. Overall it was so-so. A little disappointing, but nothing horrible that we wouldn't give a second chance to.

    Nice pub, good food, decent happy hour and friendly staff. It's e best pub I've found in the area (food is way better than the other place on 59) Lunch is quick too, 4 of us were in and out in 45 min's easy..

  • Dennis G.

    As with all new restaurants I go to, I walked into Katie O'Connors with an open mind. Unfortunately, I walked out quite disappointed. It wasn't a total loss; but it was far from remarkable. To start off: hot wings. Clearly frozen wings with commercial Blue Cheese sauce. Wings and Blue Cheese are so easy to do right, the lack of effort was not inspiring. The main course was "The Pounder" burger for me and ribs and chicken for my wife. Both were good, but again not remarkable. The worst part of the whole dinner was the hastily poured Guinness. C'mon guys, any place that calls themselves an Irish pub shouldn't be pouring a Guinness in 28 seconds. The menu was a mish-mash of assorted fare, ranging from Irish to BBQ to Mexican. A clear lack of focus here, only 2 stars because the burger was pretty good and the service was right on. My advice: skip it.

  • Bill N.

    A great little Irish Pub off of Route 30 in Plainfield. They always have tons of specials...including the typical Irish fares. The shepards pie is excellent as are the bangers and mash....fish and chips are always a safe bet...but the bbq ribs and chicken are a pleasant surprise. Don't be put off by their out of the way location...it has always been worth the trip!

    (4)
  • Michael J.

    Cut 75% of the items off your menu. Cook everything FRESH. Specialize in something. An attempt to appeal to such a broad audience by having a ton of items on the menu is HURTING your business.

    (1)
  • Chrissy T.

    Place was empty for dinner and smelled stale. Seems like there is never much business. Beer special was domestic drafts but they were out of all domestics and many others too. Food quality was low and service was mediocre at best. Seems to be going downhill which is sad to see.

    (2)
  • Richard C.

    It's a great place for a drink or a good meal but then why am I giving it only 2 stars? My first trip there was to have a drink at the bar. My drink was $6.50. I put a ten dollar bill down and never received the change. A 2nd trip there several months later, the same bartender charged me $6.50 for my 1st drink, and $5.50 for my 2nd drink which was the exact same drink. I think this is a way for them to control the tip you give them. They have good food and it is a great atmosphere of friendly people, but ask for a receipt for everything including if your just stopping in for a drink. Your tip is your decision, not the bartenders or waiters. If any waiter or bartender at any restaurant or bar asks me, "do you want your change", I leave no tip because it's my decision what they deserve for a tip not their decision and that question should never be asked of a customer. All owners or managers of any restaurant of bar should be training their staff NOT TO ASK, "do you want your change"?.

    We had a party after my daughter's Baptism at Katie O'Connor's. the staff was very attentive and accommodating. We had a wonderful time and the food was great! We have been to a couple of events here and have always been impressed with the staff and management. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a venue for a party or event. We will definitely be back!

  • K W.

    Had dinner on Saturday night with my brother and sister-in-law and my 7mo. old nephew. Food was delicious, we all liked what we had. We had Irish Nachos for an appetizer and I had the BBQ Chicken Wrap with fries for dinner. All the food was very good and affordably priced. Appetizers to entrees flowed well and there wasn't a long wait time for food or drinks to arrive. Perfect atmosphere for a family friendly dinner if you go early. We got there at 5:30pm and were there until almost 7pm. There were several kids in the eatery side and it was very nice. They had boosters seats as well which is good when we have my nephew in toe. Waitress was very nice and accommodating. My cup was never empty and she checked in on us often. Only drawback was that there weren't many microbrew beer options on the menu. I would def. recommend this place for dinner any night.

  • Patricia V.

    We eat here frequently and have had just about everything on the menu. So far, everything has been really good without any complaints. Probably my least favorite has been the ribeye sandwich. However, my husband thinks it's great. But the blarney burgers, fish sandwich, philly steak and pulled pork, among others, have all been great! Their selection of brews is a good one with no surprises. Very friendly atmosphere and very friendly, helpful and efficient staff!

    (5)
  • Eric W.

    Attentive staff, large menu, excellent selection of drinks, nice patio area, and occasionally live music. A nice place to go for some weekend drinks...the only negative is that it is located amongst the farms of Plainfield and not located in a cultured town like that of Schaumburg or Naperville. And they sometimes have meatloaf, which is delicious.

  • Courtney O.

    Food is pretty good POT ROAST great, menu could be a little bigger or change once in a while. I really enjoy the atmosphere, alot of regulars there. Service is very good. Friday nights AMAZING band. For sure the night to go! No cover charge either like that Lame country bar with no entertainment in aurora. Lol. I love Katie O's!

  • George K.

    Food was great, I'd give this place 4 stars for just that. But the service was left lacking. Hardly got any attention, had to ask for everything (including silverware and napkins?). In this day and age, making sure my drink gets a refill is, to me, an expectation, but obviously more than I could expect from this place. Another person commented that the service was lousy, I too had to wait an abnormal amount of time for each stage of the dinner. Definitely not an enjoyable dining experience. To make it better, we should have just ordered to go and ate at home--at least the food would have had better service.

    (2)
  • T J.

    Not a bad neighborhood bar...Wings are good, people are nice enough, and prices are ok, but its just not very "Alive". I can't quite put my finger on it. Really, there isn't anything wrong with this place, but it could be better. A good option if your looking to have a few close to home...

    (3)
  • Marie V.

    So frustrated when you enjoy going somewhere and things start to change. The service used to be good, the food used to be good but you can see the place go down hill. My boyfriend and I were there a few weeks ago sitting at the bar (the bartender could care less that we were there) and the loud ditz waitress brought a salad up to the bartender to show him a piece of hair that was in the food. He replied "make another" then he says OUT LOUD "Who has black hair??" There never seems to be a manager there. Employees just walk around aimlessly hoping that their friends are going to show up to see them. I really hope they get it together, I'll give it one more shot to see.

    (3)
  • Chris R.

    Authentic Irish pub that has live music on the weekends! A ton to choose from when it comes to beer options. While it can get loud at times, its a place you can go and relax for a drink with friends and not be rushed out.
