OKeefes Irish Pub & Restaurant - Tavares (FL)

5 /5 Sahel Ebrahimi: Good food, great mature atmosphere for this area. None of the strange and tasteless decorations you see in some other places in the area. Our server was nice. She was very kind and friendly, and the food was good, too. We ordered a bacon cheeseburger.

5 /5 Bill Golden: Definitely one of the top tasting burgers in Florida, not just Lake County! Angus beef cooked perfectly and served hot! Terrence was lively and engaging at the bar making you feel at home! Kudos to O’Keefe’s!

5 /5 Steve Cooper: Okeefes is easily the best Irish pub in central Florida. It is a regular for us to visit. I have tried many of the menu items and let me tell you, I would rate everything I’ve eaten here a five star. You’ll see pictured is the corned beef and cabbage, an Irish favorite. The corned beef is plentiful and absolutely perfect. Laid on top of a large chunk of soft and wonderful cabbage. I ordered the colcannon potatoes which are mashed with chunks of bacon, corned beef, and cabbage. The meal was filling and delicious. Also pictured is the French onion soup and loaded potato skins. The soup was as good as French onion soup gets. Absolutely perfect with nice large chunks of onion and lots of cheese. Th potato skins were tasty as well. They have lots of craft beers to pick from but, in years past they have had several Christmas beers to choose from but this year they did not, which was a little disappointing. But I did have a Guinness draft which never disappoints. Btw, one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten was at okeefes. It was a special last Christmas. I just thought I’d bring that up. Our server was fantastic also, allowing me to sample some of their craft beers options before choosing my drink. Okeefes will continue to be my favorite Irish pub option.

5 /5 Linda Gunger: I cant believe it took me so long to try this gem of restaurant. The food, the view, the atmosphere and our server Joel were exceptional. The Onion rings are a must. The portions are large and very good. Try the boxty potatoes! I had the London broil which was delicious. My partner had the salmon. We will be back soon!

2 /5 Aimee Stein: We’ve been customers for many years. We always eat dinner at the bar, usually with the same bartender, so he knows us. Tonight we did the same. When we got the check, there was a $.50 charge on the bill and we decided to ask what it was for. The bartender said “extra salad dressing”(we were given a very small plastic cup of extra ranch dressing). I said “that’s tacky” and he simply turned and walked away. That was unpleasant. I asked another man behind the bar for the manager, and the man I asked said he was the owner. When we asked why they charged us for this, he said “you want your 50 cents back?!” We said no but after further quick discussion he said “here’s your 50 cents back!” and slammed two quarters onto the bar. We paid the check and left the quarters there. They ruined an evening out for us, and a somewhat regular choice for dining out.
