Stopped in for quick lunch and had fried fish, portion was huge and some of the freshest fish I ever had, not overcooked. Their complimentary dip is very good with a hint of a kick.

First time here. Megan was our waitress, super sweet and attentive. Food was really good. Chill outdoor area. Hubby liked the beer selection. Nice, local spot we will be sure to visit again soon.

What a nice place to grab a drink and eat! Located in western suburbia(Eola Road, south of Ogden), McBrides is a welcome treasure. We had Shepard’s Pie(the best I’ve had in the greater Chicago area), fish and chips(wife’s favorite pub food), an order of bacon wrapped fried jalepeno poppers(4 to an order — and quite large), and the complimentary tortilla chips and queso dip. All excellent and great, attentive, service from Jordan, our server. A bit of draft and craft beer for me and apple sangria and a bomb pop cocktail for my wife! All reasonably priced and delicious!

Nice place, clean/new decent craft beer selection, outdoor patio, good for a few beers at lunch or a quick bite out with the kids.

Long over due review. Been here 5 times now and we always enjoy it. While the food is nothing more than traditional bar fare it’s better than most in the area. Sometimes it’s better to keep things simple. Great craft beer selection which is a huge plus from me!

Stopped in for a quick lunch. I had their italian beef sandwich. It was one of the best sandwiches that I had in a long time. I don’t know where they get their rolls from. So fresh, made the sandwich. I am a italian beef snob. Hubbs, had the pot roast sandwich. Melted in your mouth. Tasted like a sunday dinner at Grandma’s. It could of used a little more seasoning, just me. But the meat was so tender.

The fried pickles are cut into thin spears instead of into chips. I liked them this way. The batter was good and not too heavy. The onion rings were good, but nothing to write home about. The nacho cheese and chips are pretty plain. I doubled the burger(a steal for around $ 10 with fries). It is ENORMOUS. It probably would have been better if it were a little more well done, but I normally prefer burgers medium rare to medium. The southwest burger tasted kind of funny. It’s not bad, just not really what I was expecting. Overall, not bad.

I just found my new local favorite!!! My husband took me here for lunch to check it out; $ 5 burger, $ 10 tub Sundays. When I walked in the first thing I noticed was how clean everything looked and smelled. We dined on the patio. I was so impressed with the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff. The burger I had was awesome especially considering the price. It was well seasoned. This place is just what the neighborhood needed. You may think it’s just a bar but it’s a great spot for family, friends and kids. I can’t wait to dine here again.

We went to McBride’s on a Hawks playoff night so the place was crowded. The good news is, the way they planned the bar area, there was plenty of room. It took a long time to get a table but that was expected. We killed time at the bar. The drinks were good and a very good tap beer selection. Hostess was great as I checked in on the progress of the table. Once seated we had a good waitress named Kelli. She was very attentive and on the spot. As for the food– it was good. I had a tasty chicken sandwich, the buffalo chix wrap was good and the wind were as well(note– hot ISHOT!). outside seating will be nice once weather improves. Can’t wait to go again soon.

First dining experience and Lindsay(hopefully I spelled your name right) and Tyler rocked it! Great service very accommodating! I asked Lindsay since this is an Irish pub if they have waffle gravy fries. She never heard of it so I explained it and she was more than happy to have the cooks make it. They were solid like no other! Waffle fries with brown gravy and shredded cheese on top! It’s always been one of my favorite Irish pub grub! Definitely ask for gravy waffle fries next time your in! You won’t be disappointed! Spread the word of this great place! Kudos Tyler and Lindsay kudos! P.s fish and chips! Enough said!

We’ve been here a couple times and there’s always a wait which says enough about the place and it’s popularity amongst the locals. Good selection of the beer brews and they run daily specials. Food was good, we are chicken eaters, and enjoyed buffalo chicken sandwich, buffalo chicken salad as well. Good place to visit with family. I wish them success and hope they maintain this good service and quality of the food. Happy for the local residents as there wasn’t a good local bar in the area till McBride came along. Keep up the good work.

If I had to come up with a quick description for this place, I would say it’s an Irish version of Buffalo Wild Wings. That’s exactly what this place reminded me of and I’m not saying that as a bad thing. There is a bar area that is separated from the rest of the main dining area by a half wall. The bar area is decent in size and has a few TV’s on the walls and a juke box. The music was good when we arrived, but then someone switched it over to country music and that kind of killed the vibe. When I was there every single table was families with kids, so it is definitely a kid friendly place(they stayed out of the bar area). They have an area in back with some games and stuff for the kids to play without disturbing everyone else. They bring you chips and cheese sauce when you sit down, which I thought was a nice touch. The food was reasonably priced and the beer menu was good with a lot of local craft beers in bottles and on tap. The burger I had was good and my friends Reuben looked great as well. The menu is pretty basic, with typical Irish pub grub and they do have a kids menu. Our server was very friendly and efficient and the food came out quickly. They also have a pretty nice looking patio area that I’d like to try once the weather gets nicer. All in all not a bad neighborhood joint, I’ll be back.

I had a fantastic first experience, as I met a friend there for lunch today. The food and service were great, the atmosphere is nice, and the experience was enjoyable all all-around! Menu is awesome, and the prices are great as well! On top of all that they have awesome guest Wi-Fi speed!!! This will definitely become a regular spot!

Decided last minute to go out on date night. Had heard a lot of positive feedback about McBrides North so decided to find out for ourselves. When we arrived on a Friday night the parking lot was full and the restaurant was very busy. Having said that, the place is spacious and laid out well. It caters to families but also has a very nice long roomy area at the bar with high tops. We went to the bar to have a drink while we had a brief wait for a table to open. Wait staff were very friendly and quick to take your order. One thing that I like was the fact it wasn’t extremely loud with music or TV. You could easily have a normal conversation or choose to watch any number of TVs When we sat down at our table, our waitress Denise was very friendly and knowledgable. She gave us complimentary chips and queso while we reviewed the menu. She recommended the BBQ pork egg rolls and also the jalepeno poppers. Both were very good. All and all, great experience and wonderful service! The prices were very reasonable especially considering the quality of the food. We have found our new go to spot! Thanks!

Was here on a Tuesday afternoon and came for drinks. There was quite a few people sitting at the bar which was surprising. The bar is new and looks very nice, lots of TVs. I ordered a chocolate chip martini which was so delicious that I proceeded to have 2 more! My drink was amazing, the service was good, and lots of friendly people at the bar. I will most certainly be back to have more yummy drinks and to try them for some food. The food menu had typical pub food. Very nice neighborhood bar, good drinks, good service… Check them out!

Solid bar with good pub food. While I’m sitting here, the place on a Monday night is a good 80% full. Initial impressions are positive. We’re ordering various items off the menu, so we’ll see how the kitchen handles themselves. Update in a little bit… 1. Fish and Chips; battered properly and not tasting like out of a frozen bag. Would order again. 2. Spicy Chicken sandwich; good overall although a tad messy. I’d probably look for something else to try on menu. 3. Patty melt; totally eaten, enough said. 4. Pot roast sandwich… need to get feedback Spoke with the owner Tracy and will be back.

After hearing much about this bar opening I decided to step in one night. It seemed like a drab night, but the service was anything but! Even with a half empty room, the service was friendly, helpful and our bubbly server was a pro at timing. This place seems to shine with its selection of drinks. The varied selection of brews is good to me! The food menu is what you’d expect from a pub, but boy are they solid! I could’ve settled with just the soup, it was so good. But I’m glad I stayed for the full meal. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I’m hoping for more business so they stick around here a while!

Soft opening tonight! $ 3.00 drink specials. McBride’s has the standard bar food, with many drink specials. It looks like it will be a fun place to watch a Hawks or a Bears game. So far the service and drinks are great! Good start for an opening night.
