O' Toole's

Have been coming here for years! Great music and food Friday and Saturday nights. My standard order is the french dip with onion rings. Probably the best onion rings in Richmond! Portions are generous. Wait staff is attentive and fun. This is my go to place for weekend fun or a quick weeknight dinner with friends.

I've never been a huge fan of O'Tooles, but it would always do in a pinch because there aren't many competing bars in the area. And even though the food wasn't anything special or even interesting, it wasn't offensive. Just standard bar fare, slightly on the divey side of an O'Charleys.

Well, I don't know if the coming of Galley to the Southside has sent them on the skids, but O'tooles is certainly skidding in a downward spiral. I met friends here for a drink after work this week, and the place was empty for happy hour. Plus, I saw...brace yourselves .. roaches! Honest-to-God roaches, and it scarred me deeply.  For some people it's spiders, or maybe snakes, but my ultimate undoing are little brown roaches. On the wall. possibly dancing. Maybe they were on a date.

Anyway, I think the manager needs to call an exterminator (sorry, roach-lovebirds, for exposing your rendezvous point).

I was never one for shepherds pie, but omg its fabulous
