Donnelly's Irish Pub - Irish pub in Peoria - 4501 N Rockwood Dr, USA

Best pub in Peoria! We went for a lunch and had some of the best pub food in Peoria. The drinks were amazing and the atmosphere was even better. Our waiter was also great! If you’re looking for a place to come and hangout this is the place to do it!

The atmosphere was so loud , food was disgusting and the chicken was not cooked properly, also the waitress came to pick up the plates before we finish eating. Thats was very rude.

Very nice lunch experience. Had St. Patrick's menus. Shepherds pie delicious,very good flavor, veggies tender, generous sized bread bowl. Wife had rueben and was prepared just right, could have used some saurkrut as a side. French fries just ok. Desserts of carrot cake & cheese cake, served chilled was delicious. Wine & Killans for drinks. Friendly staff, server Johnathan was exceptionally nice, I'll ask for him next time.. Delivery of drinks could be quicker. Overall, definitely worth the time to visit.

The vegetable salad for $7.25 was very, very sparce for the price. I am a vegan and the only other food choice was the Impossible burger which is fine. BUT all sandwiches came with nothing else and were "pricey" at $13.00. Not sure I will be back. Service was Excellent!

Donnelly's has a nice atmosphere, very much like a real Irish pub. It's a pleasant place with a rotating draft beer list and decent (but not great) food. The local food critic has written good reviews about the Reuben sandwich, so I felt compelled to give it a try. Meh. It seemed to be hastily-prepared, with most of the meat balled up in the middle and the corned beef didn't seem house-made to me (I could be wrong, but that was my impression). The fries were good, especially the sweet potato version, but you don't choose a restaurant just for the fries. The real problem we ran into was the slowwwww, slowwwww service. By the time the food arrived, our sandwiches were warm/moist on one side and cold/dry on the other. They had obviously been sitting under a food warmer for quite some time. The waitress forgot to bring part of the order for one person and brought the wrong item for another. She was sweet and apologetic, but things were what they were, which wasn't great. The redeeming fact was that we were in good company, so we were able to enjoy our time together. But the next time I'm in the area, I'll opt for someplace other than Donnely's.

We’ve been to Donnelly’s quite a few times since they have moved to this location and love it. This trip was spectacular, thanks to our server who played along with my sarcasm. She was quick and accurate with our order and revisited at the right times. The grilled spicy chicken was outstanding for my first try. Usually we have wings, soup and maybe a horseshoe but changed it up this time and was pleasantly satisfied!

A lovely pub with great food and drink. I had the Irish fried chicken, great flavor with juicy chicken. The make a very good Old fashioned as well.

A classic Irish pub & bar from 3 generations of Irish know-how. The wings are No. 1 in the country. Prove me wrong. Original mild. A culinary gift every time. And the drummy to 'wing' ratio is always tilted fairly. Look, I've had J. Timothy's in Connecticut & Syberg's in St. Louis. These are my Top 3, but Donnelly's has a slight edge. The food is solid, consistent & scrumptious. The Waterford has been my go-to chicken sandwich for 15+ years; my wife, the same. The fries are hand-cut and just right, in terms of "fry," starch, salty, soft & crunch/snap. My son says Donnelly's bacon/cheese burger is the best he's ever tasted. And the Kids Meals are not that. They are real meals for kids. The burgers are generous. And speaking of Kids Meals or as an appetizer, the Chicken Tenders are about the best you ever tried. Hand-breaded in-house (or at least they tasted like it) with a buttermilk-ery coating. Yummy! And I have a new fave... Blue Cheese, Bacon fries. Nuff said. Ryan, keep killing it! Just bring back the Saison Du Pont beer, please! It pairs with the Waterford so well.
