Great food. Try the wings, best I've had in a while and I like wings. The servers are so nice and helpful. I'll come back again.

Stopped in this pub in this little town in the way home from vacation. Quaint and cozy. The Fish Special was melt in your mouth good. Fish and chips was large and yummy. Baby green beans were delicious. Service was friendly and fantastic. Will stop here again if we are ever in town!

After a long day of off roading up the street, this place was an absolute joy to stop in and fill up on. The bruschetta is wonderful and the chef picks the tomatoes himself. The grinder was heavy and loaded with flavor and so was the chefs new creation of lasagna with perogies instead of noodles was awesome. Hands down the best portion of the meal was the bourbon walnut cake ice cream (you must be 21 to eat). Without a doubt the best ice cream I have ever had. You must come here.

We arrived around 5:30 on a Friday night and were surprised by the crowd. They had trouble eating our party of 7+1, as they had a big reservation saved for ~20 people, which consumed half of the dining area. Service was friendly, but it took about an hour to get our food. Prices were about what we pay at home, but seemed high for Schuylkill County, and considering the ambience (or lack thereof). I had the shrimp tacos which were very tasty, and slightly spicy. They came with no sides, which left me a little hungry. Fortunately my wife could not finish her turkey wrap, which was huge. It was also pretty good, but contained some powerful onions ( which I liked, but my wife did not. My daughter's cheeseburger came out more rare than medium, and we had to send it back. It returned cooked a little more, but she still could not eat the middle which remained fairly red. I enjoyed it. The owner came to check on us when we send back the burger, and everything else was ok. There are few choices for dining out in Pine Grove, so I'm sure we would return here the next time we were visiting relatives in town.

Young owner and chef can take pride in the atmosphere and food at this Pub type bar and way more than pub food - the steaks could compete with any chop house and the crab cakes where some if the best I have ever had.

Let's start: born a city boy here, going camping for my BIL second time around BP, camping at Echo Valley. I'm solo, my posse with large trailers and campers were way behind me and I needed to take a break from driving and what the heck grab a beer. I ask Siri to find me a local pub, she's says Oneals 1.2 miles away from where I was, I was like "IN!" Again. City boy here but have been in the burbs a while, so I'm used to different crowds. I walk in, was immediately greeted and welcomed by the mega-attractive staff and sat at the bar. Started chatting with a couple local folks and I'm pretty sure we are now besties. We swapped buying beers, and every patron and employee was nicer than the last. Amazing. Had a few, had such a great time and did not want to leave but alas, the boys were arriving at the campground. Fast forward to the next day, the kids went off-roading, me and my senior BILs stayed back and food prepped, then decided to take a break and rolled to oneals after I talked it up so much. Beers were perfect, excellent craft selection and the wing selection was even better. The chef came out and sat with us and explained the menu and the super wing sauces. We ordered two dozen between three of us, we finished one, the wings were cooked better than any other wing I've ever had, the sauces were amazing. The in laws and I agreed that they were the best wings we've had. THEN. THEN...... The chef (Shannon?) brings us a bowl of his raspberry habanero ice cream. Sweet, creamy delish, with a burn at the end. OH. MY. GAWD! Amazing! His talent is usually confined to the city (philly what what) but this dude cares and is super talented. Can't say enough. Our barmaids were top drawer. Top. Pretty. Real pretty. Super attentive and amazing. Then met the owner. Nice guy; now I know why this place comes together. I have little reason to ever go back to echo valley campground, but now the motivating factor would be this amazing pub in this awesome little town. Cheers!!!

Irish Pub but no Irish food at dinner. No Irish brews either. WTF!! I can get Pasta Primavera anywhere! Dish was drowning in cheese sauce and used frozen vegetables. Owner or Manager checked on me and asked how the Primavera was. Advised I thought there was too much cheese used in dish, no other seasoning, bland. He replied, "next time you come in ask for 'light cheese.'" SERIOUSLY. The bartender was very nice, checked on me regularly. Two stars are for the bartender otherwise it would barely be one. If you're looking for an Irish Pub don't stop here.

This place is very enjoyable... The menu is fun! Can I say that? that a menu is fun? They have really delicious foods that you'd almost would want to try every appetizer just because.

Popped in here one afternoon after doing the Yuengling brewery tour. Everyone was so nice from the moment my boyfriend and I walked in. We had the Irish nachos (yum), he got the bacon cheddar burger, and I had the grilled cheese special. Not only was this sandwich the cheesiest and one of the tastiest I've had, but the pork belly was OUT OF THIS WORLD. The chef came over after we were finished eating and told us he made it himself. Even cut down the tree to smoke it. Will definitely return if I'm ever in the area

Very exciting menu! We were able to walk right in and be seated. It's only 3 miles off 81 so it's pretty close. Parking across the street. We ordered the spicy calamari and Irish nachos for appetizer. Very tasty! Order fish and chips for meal. Split it and it was plenty for two with the appetizers. Everything was hot and plenty. One Kids grilled cheese was enough for both kids. They cut it in half and plenty of fries on both plates. Great staff and nice lunch

We come up here every year. This is the first time we've found this place. Looks like a hole in the wall bar but with a dining room in the back. Excellent food. We had burgers, pasta, and wings. Awesome service!

Great bar and wait staff! We were there for wing night which they are known for. 5 stars for the staff and friendly ambience, 3 stars for the wings. The sauces you get for the wings are very good- we had ranch chipotle for one dozen and sweet fire for the other. Both sauces were very good, however the wings were scrawny and the meat on them pretty dried out. They should get fuller wings and not fry them to death.

We went with little expectation, but found the food memorable. The bacon, mushroom soup was creative and delicious. A sweet surprise found in the corn nugget, and cordon Bleu done modern with fresh arugula. What a find!

This is my favorite place to eat. I come here twice a month. It is small and can be noisy. But the food is great. Great prices for quality food. Chef is a CIA graduate . Tonight the cream of smoked mushroom and pork soup du jour was awesome. Wife had the fish and chips and I the blackened chicken pasta Alfredo. The home made ice cream is fantastic

Loved the place. Girls at the bar were friendly and welcoming. I would have scored it a 4, but my dish wasn't great. When I walked in, the aroma was of fish/seafood. I chose a crab cake/shrimp feature. I normally would never choose seafood from a place like this. It tasted fine, but once you've had the real thing (MD crab cakes) nothing else compares. I thought maybe ... Next time I'll stick to either beef or chicken. I will definitely stay more often on business in Pine Grove, now that I know about O'Neals. Cabelas is only 35min away too.

I've been a customer to O'Neals Pub since shortly after moving to the area 5 years ago. The food is great(I'll be honest, it's great now but throughout the years and a few cooks they had some off times), the atmosphere is probably the best in the whole area that I've experienced. The owners and staff are courteous and prompt. The dining area can get quite full so if you're going on a busy night you can call ahead. The only downfall I can think of is the small size of the kitchen and on busy nights (and this place can sure get busy!) it can take a little bit longer than normal to get your food on these nights (normally this happens on an event at Rausch Creek and the off roaders come here for the evening plus all the "locals".) The food is a little more expensive than other local locations as pointed out here, but this pub is also a step above the normal Schuylkill County pub.

We were in the area and looked on Yelp and discovered this great pub. Don't let the outside fool you as it seems like a house but when you open the door it impresses. A charming yet sophisticated feel to the bar area and on the way to our booth there were two leather love seats facing each other for good conversation. On to the food. My daughter and I started with Irish wings which were potato quarters deep fried and tossed in any wing sauce you like. We chose the homemade Pub Sauce which was excellent. We then ordered their fish tacos which were on special. My daughter and I are big fish taco fans and this did not disappoint. The fish was light and the salsa was a little bruschetta like and very tasty. I should have asked for hot sauce but it truly needed nothing more. My wife had the crab cake sandwich which is her go to move and it came through with flying colors. Finally we split a plate of Irish nachos. They were French fries covered with ranch dressing, cheese, and bacon. It was a little light on the bacon but the ranch was underneath the cheese which was unique and excellent. Our waitress was excellent. She said the scallop meals were local favorites and they seemed to have several seafood options. The Guinness on tap was a perfect compliment to the fine foods. We definitely would eat here again if we ever travel through Pine Grove in the future.

At first glance this place is a little off putting because it looks like a corner bar. You enter right into the bar which, on a Sat. Nite, is crowded. But in the back is the dining room. Certainly not an elegant place, but inviting and cozy. The menu is quite varied with lots of seafood. We had little clams (appetizer), fish cakes with smashed pots and green beans. Husband had hunters beef tips. Everything was very good. Clams were quite spicy. Two very big fish cakes. Big, hot food portions. I would recommend this place for anyone traveling along Rt. 81. Clientele was varied -- oldsters, singles, families.

Love love love this place. Best steaks I've ever eaten in Schuylkill County. Dining is in a room back behind the bar, not fancy but very deceptive. Chef cooks food that could come from any fine restaurant in a city. Food can be slow to come out, but be patient. It is so worth the wait. This place is frequently packed on Friday/Saturday night (and it's small) so make reservations. Wait staff very friendly and the owner does check on the tables personally. One of my favorite places to eat -- in Pine Grove or all of Schuylkill County.

We were in town for the Topless For Tatas, Jeep only breast cancer charity event and were told by everyone this was the place to go for dinner. And they weren't wrong! Our table order the filet w/crab, salmon and scallops and crab entrees with various sides. The filet was awesome - rivals any Morton's or Ruth Chris we've ever been to. And the scallops were cooked absolutely perfectly. For dessert, we had the bourbon apple pie homemade ice cream. This was the best ice cream I've ever had! It has chunks of actual apple pie in it! Note: you have to be 21 to have it because there is a lot of bourbon in it. But the good thing is that the bourbon is not overpowering - you can taste a hint of it and that's all. And the service...awesome! Friendly, knowledgeable and perfectly timed food presentation. The only thing we were bummed about is that we couldn't come back the next day - they're closed on Sundays and Mondays. If you're anywhere near this place, definitely come by for dinner. You won't regret it!
