O'Keefes Irish Pub & Restaurant

Very good food . Kinda expensive. We sat outside, service kinda slow , but they were busy . People next to us had a dog , I kept seeing dog hair floating around , they would pet him and the sun was shining through there and the hair was everywhere . If you don't mind that you are ok . There were actually three dogs in outdoor area at the time . So dog friendly , the waitress even brought water for their dog . Next time trying Shepards pie we seen a lot of those being served .

This was our first time here and we are definitely going back. At first glance the place was empty only one couple and the rest was empty so we had our doubts. But as soon as we stepped inside the service was amazing. Our server was extremely friendly and welcoming and also super informative. I do think that if you like sissy drink or cocktails this place is not it for soft drinks. It was explained by our servers that Irish drinks are super strong and mostly bitter. Over all I tried one drink that suited my taste for the most part. We then ordered the fried fish and shrimp which was delicious. I ordered the steak sandwich with a ribeye the actual steak was very bland and needed some seasoning. The ambiance is very romantic, peaceful family friendly and the service is amazing. Overall we will come back to taste more of their menu and try different Irish drinks!

I had it in my mind to try this place some day, and the day I picked to do it, Tavares was having a downtown festival that I was not aware of. So the place was crazy crowded, and it took a really long time for things to get to the table. They get a pass for that, under the circumstances. Excellent people watching ( we sat on the patio ). Reuben was quite good, I would get it again. Smithwicks 7.50, fair enough. The interior I only saw briefly, but it seemed good and pubby. Will return on a less nutty day.

Hello fellow Yelpers! I am back! I decided to stay local for this review.Let's start with the ambiance. O'Keefes was nothing extraordinary and satisfied the atmosphere for your typical Irish pub. It appeared clean and the lighting was okay. We had lunch around 3:00pm, which was not busy at all. We weren't greeted immediately, but didn't have to wait too long before we seated ourselves and had a waitress assigned to our table. Service: Our server was nice and she was attentive in making sure we had drinks and anything else we needed. She wasn't overbearing and checked in appropriately.Food: For starters we ordered the potato skins with bacon and cheese. It was good, but did have some burnt ends. The flavor was good and the bacon was cooked perfectly enough. I have to admit, I was impressed by the cheese pull since a lot of times you don't often see that with potato skins. The potato skins were cut thinner than normal potato skins, but they were still good. I did like how they put two servings of our cream, so each person had one of their own.For the entrees I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with steak fries, cooked medium. My wife ordered the Rueben with steak fries and our daughter ordered the grilled chicken Cesar salad. The burger was wonderful. It was cooked to perfection and the steak fries were nice and fresh. Each bite of the burger was juicy and flavorful. Definitely made my tastebuds dance. As for the Rueben, it was nothing other than your simple Rueben. It was good, but it didn't stand out. The Cesar salad was more on the disappointment side. Our daughter said the chicken was a bit chewy and cold and the salad was on the warm side. Even though I trusted her judgment, I had to try it for myself. The chicken was definitely chewy and I felt as if it was one of those pre-made grilled chickens in a bag. The salad itself was a tad soggy and did not have a crunch to the lettuce. It seems simple enough, but salad can't be served when they aren't fresh or when it's been sitting in dressing. She took a few bites, but called a quits. We ended up skipping dessert, so no review on that. Sorry!O'Keefes got 4 stars because of the burger. I would highly recommend giving this place a shot. Keep in mind, this was solely based on my opinion and that alone. Some may prefer the Rueben over the burger and some may say the salad was great. I have no doubts there. By sharing my own experience, I really do hope people give this place a shot and make their own judgement as to their experience. I am just guide to help make decisions and hopefully help small and local businesses thrive. And if not, hopefully help with constructive criticism so they can thrive.All love. Happy eats and travel adventures!

This is a traditional Irish pub/restaurant with a fun atmosphere. I have been here many times and have never had a bad experience. The food never disappoints. The Rueben is delicious. The potato wedges are delightful. The Colcannon is fabulous! Service has always been friendly. They also offer a Lifetime Mug Club Membership. You pay a one-time membership fee, which includes your own personalized O'Keefe's mug. You also receive special draft beer prices daily when you use your mug.

Dined outside - good day for it. Good size menu. I had the O'Keefe's Reuben lots of meat (personally not a.fan of the thin sliced). Side of coleslaw (sweet creamy). Checked out indoors (a must) real Irish Pub feel.Happy with this experience will return.

Wow - new favorite Irish pub! Just a few steps from the Tavares dock, O'Keefe's is warm, casual and inviting. We really enjoyed the potato soup, beef stroganoff and chicken sandwich. Everyone was friendly and service was fast. I'm coming back!

Ordered the ruben. Sandwich bread was burned. Can't understand why the kitchen/cook would sendsuch an unappetizing looking sandwich to a customer.Service was very good. Food was not.

Great service. Lively crowd. Good authentic Irish Pub( as good as you get in Florida lol) great food. Big menu. Something for everyone.

Poor food,, Dreadful service and a cold atmosphere. Avoid this place. It's absolutely disgusting.
