Owen O'leary's Restaurant

Buffalo wings are good, Monday night's its $.50 for each bone-in wing, but they only offer either 5 or 10 wings so I don't get the point of making them $.50/each anyway. I didn't really like the male bartender, he was a bit snappy and I don't see what all the stress was for. It was my first time, and first impressions are everything. I's rather sit at a table than the bar with this guy working. They also add an automatic 20% gratuity which I don't like so I wouldnt have tipped the guy at the bar on account of his poor customer service

Owen O'Leary's is an old pal of mine.  For a few years in my early 20's, it was the "Central Perk" meeting spot for me & my friends...of course, booze & brews taking the place of the real "Friends'" java filled mugs.  We were literally here Thursday through Sunday & then select Tuesdays when a friend's band would perform.  My family often-times hit up the breakfast buffet after special Masses at our local church...it was pretty good.  I think that Owens may have fallen off a bit since those good ol' days.  It's under new management and nothing has really been done to spiff up the place.  I hate when you're eating in a restaurant & you keep catching the stench of an old wet sponge.  That was the unfortunate experience during my latest dinner at Owen's.  Our waitress was a flighty teenager, nice girl, but expressed apologies because of how eager she was to get back to college and that she wasn't "all there" that night, being that it was her last shift before going back.  We found it endearing and struck a conversation with her each time she came to check on us.  The pizza was soo very good years ago, I wouldn't write home about it now.  I do enjoy the Pot Pie & French Onion Soup & one of my friends raves about a dessert special that they make...I can't remember the name of it but I know it has vanilla ice cream & maybe some sort of banana or fried dough type thing under it all & topped with drizzled caramel or fudge.  Also, I think they still serve the Loren & Wally, it's a chicken breast sandwich for around $10 and .50 of the purchase goes to the Flutie Foundation.

The food is ok, typical bar food, and the bar tenders are very slow unless you're rocking a double D cup. I think the only time this place was every really clean was its first week open. At the end of it all you just have to ask yourself what kind of a bar is it if they need a full time cop detail inside there every Thursday-Friday-Saturday night.
