My sister and I went this Friday night, and were promptly seated. We ordered two burgers and I got a cosmo. We waited for so long for our water and eventually the cosmo, which ended up tasting like a lukewarm splash of vodka, a splash of cranberry and water. When I finally got the servers attention, and told her it didn’t taste right, she argued with me that it’s “all alcohol” and that she has cosmos all the time. I guess that’s what I get for ordering a cosmo at an Irish pub, I just expected more since they had a long cocktail menu. I work in the industry myself and I get not being happy to work on a Friday night, but I just feel the team was inadequately equipped for the rush of Friday. I think the hostess over sat the server, who was rushed, the bartender didn’t pay attention to detail, and the bussers didn’t really care about helping their team. When our burgers finally came, the woman running it almost gave it to the people next to us, which is fine just a little off putting. There was no salt pepper or ketchup on our table, so we had to ask the nice people dining next to us since the server was nowhere to be seen. The fries where cold and soggy, the onion rings where pretty much a cold pillow of dough around a flimsy onion, and the burger had a bun that was somehow both stale and soggy. It was also cold, and had no flavor. There was no sauce on it. Overall, does not live up to any hype, and not really a great experience. I’d recommend the lowery down the way for a burger over this place. It could be my sister and I are just not the target demographic. I just thought it was a nice neighborhood place we should try despite the walk from sunnyside, and I wanted to try the “best burger in queens”. Anyway, Im glad others enjoy this place, just not for me!

Pretty cool Pub, nice atmosphere and service was really nice. Everyone is really friendly.
Loved the assortment of imported beer . 20 different types of hamburgers .
The ones we ordered were pretty good, nachos delicious, French fries cheese and gravy are really good, stuffed mushrooms are super juicy and delicious. Really enjoyed the place and food. Prices are reasonable, oh and the guy singing was pretty good .
Definitely recommend this spot, they even sang happy birthday to our friend and sister as it was their birthday.
Great overall experience

Ranked best burger in queens so I wanted to see what the hype was about. It was definitely a solid burger but I fear the chatter about them losing the it factor may be true. It wasn’t the BEST burger l’ve had but definitely up there. The mozzarella sticks were yummy. The pretzel was also pretty special (if it were the thing I was eating at a baseball game). Service was friendly and attentive despite it being decently busy. There’s ample seating in both a dining room and bar area. It’s not too noisy on the weekday we went. They do show sports on the TVs if that’s what you’re into!

Classic pub, family friendly.
Great vibe. Awesome burgers. I have to confess that’s why we went.
Christmastime meal with 2 generations of gents. The dining room was filled with couples, families and a few single dinners.
The Guinness was great and the burger was excellent.
The fish and chips was perfect. The fish and batter were off the charts. I can’t even tell you about the chips the fish was so good. I forgot all about them .
We had a table for six. Very comfortable, easy to have great conversation.
Happy new year, so glad I took the drive to Woodside.

The Guinness is good and the atmosphere is unique, but I honestly don’t understand why their burger is so popular. Jackson Hole’s burger is much better. And their service is slow

First of all
Coming in feels homey and welcoming
I order the woodsider which is sharp cheddar and bacon but I added grilled onions which took it to another level!
But the steak fries stole the show for me a light crisp with a light buttery inside which I love!
Definitely will be back!

Donovan’s has the best burger in new york city. It’s rare to find a restaurant like this, and if you are able to visit, you must.
