Irish Times Restaurant & Pub Reviews

Authentic Irish pub atmosphere. Everything on the food menu has always been good. Good beer selection.

A cool spot right by the train tracks. Awesome poutine and cheese fries. Decent beer choices and a nice patio.

This war a terrific experience! My wife and I went out in search of a fish fry for Lent and I wanted to try a dhfferent "Irish" pub... We arrived at `bout 4:20pm `and this place was packed! I asked how long of a wait it would be for a table for 2 and was told 15 to 20 minutes... They had ole ready in 00! Our drinj and dinner orders were taken, and delivered quickly and cheerfully, Our fish and chips we're delivered by kitchen staff, with instructions to flag them down if we wanted more fish ( on Fridays, it's all you can eat!) . The food was delicious and appears to be home made. Can't wait to go back and try some other items on the menu.

Usually happy but tonight rueben sandwiches were unedible due to bread being hard. Went back for 2 new ones. Didnt even get a sorry that we had to return food. Very unfriendly service.

An Irish bar that turned to a young dude bro bar. Pass go!

Good food, friendly staff, cozy and comfortable atmosphere.

Always great beer, food & service!!! Love the beer garden in back. Nice for family or friends get together or just to hang out. Will not be disappointed.

Best Shepard's Pie I ever had. We all enjoyed what we had.
Nice atmosphere and very pleasant service. We would certainly come back.

Good food and drink and great entertainment. We'll be back!

Great server. Good food and the beer was delicious. They have so much to choose from . I recommend people to try the corn beef tacos. Amazing

Gluten free options on the menu and labeled! So yummy! Brussel sprouts are amazing and love the dipping sauce. And also the corn beef and cabbage is soooo good!!! Always fun and entertaining! Got a free engraved glass for just buying a beer!

The meals and service were above my expectations. I surely liked the atmosphere of this spot. Awesome place to take the family out for dinner.

Good food, tons of character, and little cottages you can rent for events in the back! Awesome spot!

Holy cow this place is great! You can't beat the atmosphere with a stick! Great beer, whisky, food and people. What a great place to watch the game or just hang out! They have outdoor seating too! Beautiful place!

One of the few places that serves New Castle. Low light. Fire place. Just a good chill atmosphere.

I get to eat here a lot since I work in the area. I love how the customer service is always excellent and they keep the place neat consistently. Prices are fair and they serve sizeable portions.

A genuine Irish pub experience. Great pours and fantastic food.

The Corned Beef Tacos are AMAZING!!! they pair quite well with a Dragon's Milk. The Staff is always friendly. you won't find a better patio.

Really a nice place to go on a date good food with good prices.The band's they have are very good local talent

Delicious! We took a fish & chips family meal to go.
This tavern has charachter. In winter there is a fire place. They gave a patio and also a cottage for gathering space that can be rented out.

My husband and I love this restaurant! The food is awesome (the Reuben is our favorite), and the employees are wonderful!

Good food good service but a little expensive for my taste

Great food, great beer, but the reason for 5 stars is the friendly people that work there

I love this place! Great beer and menu. I have yet to order something I don't like. Treat yourself! Stop and give it a go!!

Very well decorated, very friendly staff, food is good and the beer is cold !! What else do you need ?

Great food and drinks. great place to unwind. My kids love the fish and chips.

The corned beef was great! I've never had it like they do. It's so light but filling at the same time. I split this meal with my mother. A must try! Also, when we had it, it wasn't around st. Patrick's day. I've noticed if you order it from other restaurants in a month that is not March, it's gross.

Great food and great staff! Helpful and overly friendly (...that's a good thing nowadays!!!)

I love the Awesome atmosphere here Delicious Food and Spirits !!! I recommend Irish times

The fish fry at Irish Times is wonderful and not too greasy. I've been going there for years and never have had a bad meal. The chicken tender appitizer is also a great option if you dob't like fish.

One of my favorite spots to eat. convenient location, well kept, and fantastic customer service. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended! Fair prices for a good quality!

Best experience in Chicagoland.
Authentic and balanced menu. Extremely friendly and professional staff. A real gem.
Can't wait to come back.

Service was amazing, food was traditional and was great. Atmosphere was comfortable. Will return. Pricing was kind of expensive. Since we only come to area for zoo we can swing it. Great place over all.

The BEST place to go for Irish food and drinks. Wonderful staff. Great service. All you can eat fish and chips on Fridays.

I constantly stop by purchasing some food in here. I enjoy the rapid customer service and well made dishes. They never disappoint.

Great place to get drinks and food. Recommend the Reuben

This is more than just a bar or restaurant, it's a pub. An experience like no other, kind of like stepping into a friends' house and just hanging for awhile. The food is great comfort food. I dont think I've ever had a bad meal here. The corned beef & cabbage, the fish-n-chips, the poutine fries, the potato soup and everything in between are thoughtfully prepared. As for the spirits, well, they can speak for themselves. I would say come one, come all, but I'm terrified this place will be overrun as it's that good.

My #1 favorite spot to go. I can't think of a single thing wrong with Irish Times. The interior boasts a traditional Irish pub from the moment you walk in but the beer garden is the greatest part about this place.
Cobblestone garden lined with tables and string lights hanging above. There is a private cottage out back for special events and parties. Seriously, go here on a nice summer day and it's like you're in the Shire.
The food is out-of-this-world good. From the traditional fare such as the Shepard's Pie and Scotch eggs to the more modern/American whiskey wings and Pedro's tacos. Don't miss out on the burgers too!
The bar is what you would expect, traditional but a few good, local craft beers on tap and in cans. The staff is really what makes this place special. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. Seriously, best service ever. Martin is doing a great job with this place.
10/10 with rice

My wife and i had a terrible experience at phils sports bar and decided to try this place, and were glad we did. It was a day and night difference. Even when the place was full we were greeted and tended to with fast and friendly service, it was amazing. The staff was fun and had great attentiveness, and the food and drink selection was better than most places weve been to. This place earned their returning business

Good food and the service is even better! I've been to Ireland many times and this place is authentic as it gets. Will definitely be in the regular line up. Highly recommend!

Fun times, nice staff, good drinks, convenient location by the train station.

Corn beef bits delish....outdoor seating was manageable in the cold, they did all they could to keep us warm. Good place and people.

From the friendliness of the service to the quality of the food, it's everything you could ask for an more. I took my kids after heading to Brookfield Zoo's Zoo Lights, and even in the early evening, the place is as kid friendly as any parent could want.

Best food, nice employees, always good atmosphere. They charge affordable pricing and the food quality is excellent. Keep it up.

Love the casual atmosphere, the vibe and energy! Their take on poutine is the most delicious version I ve ever had!

Stopped in after Metra ride from work (Brookfield stop), super convenient for dinner! Walked in seated myself and was acknowledged by two members of staff rather quickly. Both were friendly, and my server was prompt with my drink order. Haven't even gotten my food yet, but I'm excited to try their new item, the Impossible Burger, with all the fixins (no cheese), wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun, although they do have a gluten free bun too as an option. Excited for the fries with curry aioli and extra side of curry gravy for dipping. I would drool at the thought of this if it wasn't socially awkward!

Authentic decor, tasty corn beef and beer, friendly atmosphere and service!

Just ok! No place to wait and staff seemed to walk by and ignore us instead of taking our name - eventually got our name down but couldn't offer any estimated wait time.

We had the veggie burger and fish and chips. Food was bland and the fish was chewy from being overcooked. Fries were nice and crispy though.

Always visit when I'm in town. Love your pot pies!!!

This is based on an even I had this weekend. They were great and the bartender we had was amazing. It was a small party but we got the cottage and the service and food was amazing. :)

The staff is friendly, I ordered the French Dip sandwich and it was delicious, great portion size, flavorful and the melted cheese was on point!!! Plus they have a great beer selection!

Great service. I just came for book club and had a Guinness, but I'll be back.

Back in the day, this was one of my favorite haunts. I'd even come in on the Metra from the city to visit Irish Times. Alas, times have changed for the Times. The old owner, Martin sold the bar to his nephew and while being of Irish descent, the nephew has managed to erase all Irish authenticity from this place. Today I associate Irish Times with high drink prices ($6 for a pint of Guinness), loud music of the 80's hair band metal genre not Celtic, and simply the rudest, worst service I've ever known this side of Burger King. The women who "work" at this bar seem to take pleasure in ignoring customers, as if they're doing you a favor just by taking your order. Food quality has dropped alongside everything else. However, on the plus side, it's no longer as crowded as it once was (and for good reason). Skip this place.

Good food, worth the money. The service was also wow!

GREAT FOOD WE EVEN SHOT A MOVIE THERE EARLIER THIS YEAR.

I frequently order Irish Times for office lunches at my work. Everyone loves all the food, from the corned beef to the fish and chips, all of the food is amazing! I lived in Ireland for a while, and this place is the best Irish restaurant that I've found in the states. I've also actually been to the pub, and the atmosphere is as authentic as can be. Also, the owner, Martin, is truly one of the good guys in society, and will do anything to make sure that the customer feels at home. He is a really good guy, I give this place an enthusiastic 5 stars!

Great Irish coffee. Average Reuben but the shepherd's pie looked great.

Delicious soups and meals! The corned beef is lean, tender and delicious.

Always a great time at Irish Time's. Friendly staff, fresh, cold beer selection and great food served hit and fresh. I recommend Taco Tuesday -- for $5 you get three authentic tacos. Match those with a pint and you have a great meal.

Food is great and bartenders and servers are attentive and never disappoint.
