Katie O' Connor's Pint House and Eatery

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.

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!

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!
