What People Are Saying About O'sullivans Pub

With its warm-colored wooden walls and a horseshoe-shaped bar, O'Sullivan's feels like a neighborhood lodge. Young and old couples laugh and chat over pints of beer while watching sports on the two large hanging TVs. Reliable, affordable pub fare includes subs, steaks and seafood entrees. But the star is a juicy half-pound burger (with more than 25 toppings, including sauteed mushrooms and homemade Boursin spread). Sides include hand-cut fries, rings and slaw. – – High Marks – * "...you can see the grill and they start your order as ordered. so you have to wait 20 minutes…
Best burgers

I was smitten with R.F. O'Sullivan & Son from the first time I eyed the 20+ burger list. The only drawback is that the burgers take 20 minutes to grace the table. For distraction, I dive tortilla chips into the Tangy Chili topped with sour cream and cheddar cheese. My pick is the Black & Blue Burger, a 1/2 pound of Sirloin, encrusted thick with black pepper, and smothered in sharp Blue Cheese. Wedge-fries and thick onion rings are a bonus. Luckily, a few beer selections are sized to match the burgers.
All I can say is YUMMY!

BEST burgers in the city. Period. Great atmosphere - they just recently renovated - great brews on tap. Monster menu - I think there are over 20 combinations of burgers on that menu! But nothing beats their steak tips. OMG they are sooooo good!
I HIGHLY recommend!
my favorite burger in town
by bleuemoon at Citysearch
o'sullivan's serves great burgers! okay, make it my favorite burgers! i'm a huge fan of their cheese burgers. they have like 20-30 different kinds of burgers. what can i say, i like my burgers to be simple and consistently good. you can see the grill and they start your order as ordered. so you have to wait 20 minutes for your burger. but it is well worth the wait. if the bar gets too crowded, i recommend getting it to go, but only if you are really craving the burger and can't think of any other food you want to eat.
i choose onion rings over french fries everytime. b/c although the fries are good, they are really huge chunks of a potato.
if you are in the neighborhood, and even if you are not, if you want a good burger, you gotta check this place out!
- Pros: great juicy tasting burgers
- Cons: if your friends order burgers well done, yours might be too!
