First of all, this is a mixed review. If I was just rating the food I would put this in the recommended to highly recommended section. I have been to K O'Donnell's twice, once I sat at the bar (and the bar is great, huge with lots of seating and lots of beers on tap) and the other time in the dining area. Both times I had the smoked chicken dinner which is half a chicken, whick is cooked in a mesquite smoker and then stuck under the broiler to crisp up before ti comes to the table - it is delicious. The food, in general, ins wonderful. The bad thing about the bar is smoke if you are a non-smoker but service is decent. However, when I was in the dining area three things stood out from a bad service perspective:\r
1. Drinks took a long time to get to the table - the server said he had asked someone to take care of us and did not happen - on top of this, the water I asked for with my beer never got to the table - ball drop one.\r
2. One of the side dishes on my friend's order was incorrect - they gave her sauteed mushrooms instead of the smashed potatoes - ball drop two - side benefit, I asked if the would leave the mushrooms and not charge us and the server was okay with this - nice semi-recovery on the ball drop\r
3. At the end of the meal my friend was still eating and my beer glass was empty. The server did not ask if I wanted another beer or if we wanted to see the desert list, just brought the check - big ball drop since this place is a BAR so it would seem logical to see if someone wanted another drink. And by the way, the dining section was not busy so there was no need to rush the check. \r
So - food, recommended, at least the smoked chicken. The service, way below average in the dining section. If you don't mind smoke, stay in the bar area.
Pros: Food is Great - at least the smoked chicken dinner
Cons: Service in the Dining area is poor to horrible - multiple ball drops when I visited
