Dempsey's Burger Pub

Stopped in for lunch today. The fries were fantastic as were the burgers. The staff were very friendly and recommended their favorites with sauces to match.

Arrived for dinner around 6:45 on Thursday and it was not too crowded-- it's away from the busier Mass St. Today's daily special was $1 House fries (side size). We ordered it with entrees but fries came out as appetizer -- I guess because for Happy hour it's an app! Burger & salad came after we had gotten through almost half the fries. Portion size was good for the small salad, though I needed more dressing. Burger was thick and saucy. Server was attentive and honest that she's not sure when we tried to ask advice on directions (we're from out of state). My son will likely be going back after he moves here to attend KU.

Glad we found this gem in Lawrence. Burgers were fantastic as we're the pretzel sticks and Rueben. Truffle fries were spot on. Only thing better than the food was the service. Quick, polite, very helpful.

If you are looking for a good burger to satisfy your burger cravings then this place is perfect! Their fries were delicious and the service we had here was pretty good! Food was awesome! The only thing that threw me off a bit was the fact that when we were eating a line began to form on the back porch to go downstairs. My boyfriend and I have never been to this location so we were completely unaware of the fact that there was usually a line there to get into the bar. So about halfway through our meal it was a bit awkward to eat there because the security people were having full conversations about five inches from our table. Would say that if you came here for a drink it would be pretty fun but a meal might be hard to get through!

As a guy that misses the feeling of a winning football team (Huskers), it was incredible to indulge in this absolute W of an Irish Pub. It was ideal to take in the KU game, with a perfect blend of college crowd to provide energy but also a mature audience that didn't make me feel out of place. Started with garlic fries and cheese curds, both top tier. Mixed in a Yakamanic IPA (or 4) and an Irish car bomb to engross myself in the pub experience, and they certainly didn't disappoint. For the main course, I had the Swiss mushroom burger and had it down in about 90 seconds. You know it's a good burger when you have to wash your hands a few times before writing your Yelp review. Overall, this Irish pub gets a 5/5 stars. Side note, I'm getting a puppy soon and highly considering naming him "Dempsey".

Would have received the 5 star if they didn't forget the sauce with my Patty Melt...so had to go with the 4.But don't give up on this place....awesome atmosphere, great beers and cocktails on tap, sports bar theme with plenty of TV's and service was solid!If your ever in Lawrence for a game, parents or dad's weekend, it's a great place to begin the night!!

What a great place! I don't know who Dempsey is but the rest of their name is on point. This is a legitimate burger joint and a pub with a very large selection of beer.I first discovered Dempsey's in Lawrence Kansas and I was immediately hooked on their non-typical burger options.The menu here isn't very big but it's stacked with flavor.Their truffle fries just may be the key to world peace and homemade catchup? who does that?I've tried several menu options in Lawrence and Wichita and I have not been let down.The atmosphere is great, the waitstaff is Mostlycollege girls and the prices are reasonable.

Great fries, service, and atmosphere. Truffle fries are truly addicting and burgers are always juicy.

The fries are great here,the chicken wings my wife had were so spicy that she or I couldn't eat them. They don't serve mild wings here. Nothing but spicy. The burgers were okay,really small for how much we paid for them. The house made sauces went well with the fries. Good service,just not worth how much you have to pay.

Great burgers and beer selections, nice atmosphere. Good sports bar. Friendly staff.
