McGillacuddy's Sports Bar & Grill

Ok this was a new experience for me. My friend told me about this place and I will say , it was pretty cool lol 😂 spoke soon as I stepped in, checked on me every 10 minutes or so, and made me an amazing fluffy Belgian waffle fresh to order. Highly recommend. Can't beat a buffet under $15!!

A local watering home that takes being a sports bar seriously. All of the booths have tvs with remotes to choose your channel. They show all major sports games with sound on for the big ones. The food is on the better end for bar food. Beats most of the other bar kitchens in the neighborhood. Great burgers and sandwiches. All you can eat chicken strips on Sunday nights. All you can eat breakfast buffet on Sat/Sun during football season. Decent beer selection and $1 jello shots if that's your thing. Touch tunes when games are not on. Parking isn't amazing. There's about 10 spots on site, but there's a good amount of nearby street parking. A lot of older reviews show photos of pool tables. FYI, those are no longer there, they've been replaced with high top seating.

Great food, relatively quick good price ive been getting pretty bad food from other restaurants near me, but have yet to get bad service here. Even if they are busy the food is always correct. So glad they still have great work ethic here will continue to return.

This is our neighborhood bar, and we've easily become regulars. The people working here are friendly and professional, and you can count on consistently good service and food. Bloody Marys and mimosas are available while you grab a buffet style breakfast, and there's a special on chicken wings on Mondays. It's a dive-type neighborhood bar and it always has sports playing on the TVs.

Excellent food and Excellent staff. I’m trying the all you can eat breakfast for the first time right now and it is an amazing deal. Very lively football crowd here for breakfast.

Free taco bar on Taco Tuesdays! Individual TV in every booth. Good service, decent beer selection. Big screen TVs too! Parking can be tough to find. It's not closed for the pandemic any more, despite the post from the owner from 2020.

A co-worker told me to try this place out. We went for breakfast. Good food, variety, and plenty of options. Staff was super nice. Bit busy so it took time to get refills of coffee at the table. No problem to stop up at the bar they usually had a fresh pot or were getting one made.

Good Service, Friendly Staff, Clean Location, Quaint Working Man's Bar with Regular Crowd, Taco Tuesday All You Can Eat - Great Deal... Thanks!

Fun place for beers , great bar food and slots. Service great.I recommend sitting at bar and you get your own remote and personal tv.

My favorite neighborhood haunt. Great staff, good vibes, tasty snacks, your own remote control. What else do you need? A shirt on the wall that says 'Fuck Tom Brady'. Oh wait, they have that too.

This is a great neighborhood sports bar. Straddling Halsey/Weidler in NE Portland, the walls are decorated with local sports teams and a few out of area editorial fun memorabilia. The seating is both friendly with low normal tables and high bar tops. The deck gets a lot of ambient light from the windows. In the evening lower light, but still not dark.. So far my favorite time to come in is for brunch on Sundays. $14.50 a person for all you can eat buffet that includes eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, fried potatoes, biscuits, and gravy. You can't beat that! There is ample parking in a lot on the Weidler side, but there are stairs, so that is not an ADA accessible entrance. On the Halsey side, there's a street level door but not a lot of parking.

Neighborhood bar. They have a very nice menu. It has all the things. Chicken, sandwiches, salads and a very nice selection of burgers from a classic hamburger to a bacon blue cheese burger. The portion of fries use to be a bit bigger but I'm glad they slimmed down portion a bit. Their ranch dip is classic homemade tasting and not lite house brand. Their glasses are always spotless and their beer is always cold. Their mixed drinks are perfect. Not heavy handed but not just mixer either. The male waiter/bartender is always engaging and cordial. If you play video poker they have 7 or 8 machines. The have several large screens playing sports through out the bar. Tuesdays they have a taco/nacho bar, I've been once and it was great! Lots of options and fixins'. Prices are what you expect for a local bar in Parkrose.

Chill bar for good drinks and yummy food. Staff were attentive making sure I was happy.

This bar and their nasty ass breakfast buffet was the last public place I went before I got COVID. Breakfast buffet was cold and stale within an hour of them being open. Took two bites of my food and couldn't finish it. Never going back.

Great local area bar! Seemed like everyone knew everyone. We stopped in on our way to the airport to grab a bite to eat and watch a hockey game. Service was fabulous! Very attentive and friendly. We shared some onion rings as an appetizer then split a cheese burger with fries. Burger was mediocre but fries were delicious! Nice selection of beers. Lots of TVs. Definitely will be back if in the neighborhood.

Wth??!!!! Every booth has a tv! Great spot to watch your favorite team. On Sundays they have an all you can eat breakfast buffet. Drinks are good and the bartenders are cool

Very solid Sunday Breakfast Buffet. I've been there 3 times recently and found the quality and service to be consistently good. They will make customer omelets, scrambles, and pancakes and waffles for you.

Hhmmmmm. Well i just have to say Sunday brunch. Is packed here! Im sure some things have changes since 2020 of march. But this is the spot for sports. Saturday and Sundays. They have nice booths with Tvs for your individual table to watch what you please. The help is always nice and friendly. Food is great. They serve breakfast until 1pm!

Great sports bar. Delicious breakfast on weekends, great staff works hard and cares a lot.

So disappointing. My partner and I were really looking forward to trying this place after driving past it last week- we decided to test it out for a Friday HH before diving in for their brunch on the weekends to add to our rotation. Arrival was odd, we received glaring stares from patrons, but I understand they can't control that. The disappointing factor came in when the staff ignored us as well- at least up until it was time to pay. I can't speak to the food as, even though my partner got up to grab a menu half way through our second drink, no one came by to grab an order. We weren't seated in a far off corner, no, multiple servers/bartenders came by to check on our neighboring table who was apparently a regular. No. They weren't understaffed or packed, there were at least three people working and four total tables while present. We won't be going back, and I don't recommend that you attempt to try.

Ever been to a bar, trying to watch a game, and you can't hear the commentators? Ever wish you could take the remote from behind the bar and turn it up or turn the channel? Well you've found your perfect bar then! Each booth has its own tv and remote and you can turn up the volume. It's a divey sports bar with a focus on sports and sports fans. To explain the stars. The server was fantastic. Friendly, attentive, even funny! The drinks were good and quickly refilled. But the food....we waited almost two hours for a veggie wrap and some chicken wings. Almost two hours! The table beside us cancelled their order because of the wait. Then when the food finally came, we were missing a side a fries and the fries on the side of my wrap were burnt, crunchy, and tasteless. Our server kept coming up and apologizing and letting us know that the food was coming, but that the person cooking was working slowly. I appreciated that he didn't avoid us since the food was soooo late. A lot of servers do that when things are slow. They need to figure out their kitchen situation. Food that late is completely unacceptable. And it's a bar. We didn't drive so it was fine. But you can't serve people drinks and then no have food readily available. That's dangerous.

Angelic cause they got them wingzzzz! After 5 PM every Monday you can get some $1 wings! Don't snooze on the sweet heat or BBQ flavors. Def a pass on the fries tho. Mine were sad, limp, and room temp. Yikes! How y'all mess up the fries tho?

I enjoy the facility and the many TV options available. Well I haven't eaten there lately I've always enjoyed their taco bar on Tuesdays after 4:00 or maybe it's 5:00. I understand and there was looked like great hamburgers I'm going to have to try one here soon. Always great service and well poured drinks.

They have a brunch on Sunday that is all you can eat. They have sausage and bacon and waffles and French toast and biscuits and gravy and more. It is so worth it

I'm not a regular but I have been coming here since the owner took over. We had a great lunch here today. This is a really well run business that has earned a loyal base. Great food and service. We were early for lunch but when I asked if they were serving lunch yet, the owner said we will make you whatever you want. They had the "A" team working on a Sunday morning and the operation was impressive!

Great place for breakfast! ALL YOU CAN EAT... SAT-SUN's $9.00! Fresh waffles, omelettes, (quality meats)bacon, sausage, ham, biscuits and gravy... oh my LOL Staff was super nice... tip your waiters well

The Other Afternoon I walked to McGillacuddy's Sports Bar for a Mushroom Burger, it has Swiss Cheese on it as well. Did you know that there are Over Twenty three Televisions inside McGillacuddy's? When I sat down on one of the Bar Stool Chairs I was asked for my Drink Order. I ordered a Half Cranberry Half Pineapple Juice. It was sooooo Deeelicious. My Mushroom Burger was Tasty as well. I did NOT eat all of the Onion that arrived on my Burger. It also had a Steak Knife in it.... which I used to Cut my Mushroom Burger in Half... believe me...... it is much Bigger than you think. I did NOT wait long for my Mushroom Burger to arrive, either. As my Side, I ordered Macaroni Salad... which is Taaasty. But, I could NOT eat the Whole smaller bowl of it. I will be back. There are Two Pool Tables, although,... no one was Playing on the Afternoon that I was there.

I love this place. Great food. Great service. Great price. Plenty of TVs for games. Seating limited during Covid so get there early.

Probably one of the best places to watch sports I've been to in Portland. Every booth comes with a remote and your own control of the tv. It was a big football day, but one in our party wanted to watch tennis so we could have switched between the sports if we wanted. So cool!! Food was really good. SO MUCH BACON IN THE POTATO SKINS! According to the vegan in the group, a really really good vegan burger which is sometimes hard to find at a sports bar. Prices are tough to beat, service was great as well! I will come back for sports Sundays and brunch for sure!

This has been a date location for me and my wife for years. The drinks are sealed perfect l, food is amazing and plentiful, and the service is always top notch. There is a reason this small pub survives Covid lockdowns. Their business model is spot on with large tv's, pool games, and exceptional service. Would totally recommend to anyone

Where everybody knows your name, and you're always glad you came. Definitely the spot in the neighborhood. Also there are a billion TVs, with all of the sports ball, aaand they raffle off Blazer tickets pretty much every game. BEST PLACE EVER!!!!

If you want any service, don't go on Friday afternoon or evening. We usually have 10 or more in our group. They never come to take an order, we've had to clean the empty glasses from our own table, yet the servers take care of those in the booths. We are not a rowdy group and always tip well so I don't get it. We've given them multiple chances but it's always the same. We're done. Karen H

Awesome breakfast buffet and great service! You will want to arrive when they open to get a booth. If you are ok with buffet style tables there is seating typically any time you come. I have heard it's a "rough crowd" but honestly everyone form the servers to the customers are super friendly. There is a wide variety of people that gather here for the great food and friendly service. Definitely a great neighborhood secret. Bottom line, I highly recommend this for your Sunday morning breakfast and sports hang out!

Cool local bar. They have pool tables. I could do without the lottery games in the back but that's kind of the name of the game in this hood. The staff is super friendly and offer table service. They do daily specials and have karaoke! A great little place for a beer, bar food and some entertainment.

We have been getting food to go from McGillacuddy's for the past 6 months. We have really enjoyed what we've gotten (even when it wasn't what we ordered)! They sent us a turkey Melt once instead of the cold Turkey that was ordered by my son-in-law, but he said it was delicious! We've been really happy with our food.

The food was fantastic and well prepared. We LOVED the wings. Spicy Peanut Sauce, Sweet Spicy, and Thai Chili. Yummm. When we first arrived and throughout our meal we got great service from the bartender named Ross. Honestly would have given it 5 stars if the energy hadn't changed after Ross left at the end of his shift. The new bartender was busy loudly initiating conversations about politics with the server who honestly seemed quite disinterested. If he was trying to make it uncomfortable, it worked. Bars are a great place for diversity of thought, lively debate, and conversation but, it isn't necessary to go out of your way to try and make it uncomfortable.

Visited for lunch last weekend. The breakfast buffet looked tempting, but I was in the mood for a sandwich. I ordered the special--ham & cheese melt, with a cup of soup. Hubby ordered a burger. Ham & cheese was good, soup needed a little more flavor, but it was still good. Hubby said burger was good, too. Bill came to under $20, so pretty good value. We will definitely come back on a Tuesday to try the $4 taco bar!

Only when here because it got really high reviews well my review would be a one star if it wasn't for that environment in the creativity and all of that big TVs. They were extremely rude the customer service sucks majorly. The guy came up to us and asked us what we wanted to drink we said it had been our first time there so we needed a minute to look. Instead of him coming back to check on us we had to wave him down and let me remind you they were only four other people inside the bar this time at night. They brought our happy hour order in pieces the potato skins were burnt the chicken strips were so dark I should've took a picture not even think about taking a picture because you had to break them open just to eat the chicken inside that's how nasty they were. The tater tot taste like they didn't even have salt on them. One good thing I can say is that I will never go back to this place again

I love this place! Decent prices, happy hour specials, good food (wings are bomb), super friendly staff (we've had Ross as our waiter two times and he remembered my drink on the second visit), and the absolute best part is each booth has it's own TV!! A super great place to watch whatever you want (in my case, NCAA Basketball) and hang out with whoever you decide to come with! Several pool tables and plenty of seating... great place to come on a Saturday afternoon. Parking sucks, but you can always use the street as well!

3 stars for me but most likely 4 or 5 stars if you like Sports Bars and live in the neighborhood. What is not to love about Mcgillacuddys? You say you want to watch a game? Well this is the place, they have TVs for that. Lots and lots of TVs, so many TVs that each booth has its own TV in addition to the many other TVs positioned around the walls, and often located just above your heads for the other nearby tables to see the game. All sizes of TVs, so if you like to watch a big screen TV, they've got that, if you prefer a mid size, no worries, they've got that too. I did not use the bathroom on this visit, but it is probably the only place you can rest your eyes and not see a TV (unless, horror of horrors, they have TVs in the facilities too.) Want booze, beer and food? They've got food, more than some of their competitors and maybe a little less than others, but basically a fairly fine selection for your dining, munching and drinking pleasure. Cons for me and my friends who purely went for Wednesday night Trivia (because one of our team members is always driving far from home to play with us, so we wanted to support him by playing in his neck of the woods): It is crowded and loud, possibly a bit lean on the staffing. Oh and did I fail to convey that although fairly easy to get to from closer in, a straight shot off 84 onto Halsey, drive about 1/2 mile, and there it is in all of it's glory, it's 10 miles from my neck of the woods, and except for our team mate I do not need to drive 10 miles to play Trivia with so many TVs. They do have a parking lot but it is small, and there is street parking, but there are patrons of other businesses vying for these places too. Speaking of Patrons, I did like the feel of the crowd, a very real feeling crowd. All ages, not a pick up joint, no one was scary, and no one was trying to impress anyone, seemed like the kind of people that would be fun to hang out with at a backyard BBQ. A few of us ordered the "All you can eat" Fish and Chips for $9.50 which is kinda silly on my part because it was all I could possibly eat, 3 big & pretty darn good pieces of Fish and some good tasting, but a bit soggy, Chips. The tarter sauce was good, and I am not generally a fan, the lemon wedge was generous in size too. Next time I would order the regular Fish and Chips for $9 because it actually comes with a salad or soup and 4 pieces of Fish, but it is .50 cheaper and is going to be much more than I can ever eat. The "Chef" salad looked passable, although just. The soda machine must have been in need of service because we had to send the fizzy brown drinks back for tasting funny, the water, beer and ice tea were all drinkable. So to sum this rambling review up: "A-OK" for me, and "As good as it gets" for local Sports Fans.

This is a sports bar with flat screens everywhere including 14" flat screens in every booth! Video poker & a couple pool tables are available in the back & Keno is on a couple screens, too. There's nightly food specials starting after 5:00pm plus happy hour (well drinks, microbrews & domestics) from 4-7pm & 10pm-midnight. There service is friendly & for the most part attentive. Their hot wings are a bit on the spendy side for there not being a lot of meat & being fairly small but if you go on Mondays, their night special is 3 for $1 hot wings. I recommend Fire on the Mountain if you're in the mood for large, meaty wings. Tuesdays is their 'all-u-can-eat taco bar' for $3!! Holy crap that's insane! I was there one Tuesday just for a drink & the taco bar smelled so good it was hard to resist. Dinner plans elsewhere held me back! Wednesdays is their endless cod fish & chips for $9.50. If you stop by on Thursday nights, you can have a New York steak dinner with baked potato & soup or salad for $10.50. The lettuce used for their side salads is iceberg so the quality is not as good as other restaurants. Fridays & Saturdays is their Surf & Turf night which is a New York cut with prawns for $12.50. They also have 'all-u-can-eat breakfast' for $6 on Saturdays & Sundays from 9am-noon! Endless scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy, pancakes, waffles, etc. Never tried it but heard you can also special order, e.g. omelets, which is included in the price. Great place to watch your favorite sports team since you'll definitely be guaranteed a TV in a booth or watching it on one of the 11 big screens.

Servers are great; always a great cider or sour on tap; free popcorn! And love the karaoke here!

Been going to this sports bar off and on for 10 years and it is great. Good draft selection of over 20 beers, great bar food, and a taco Tuesday where for $4 you can have hard and soft shell tacos with nachos. Garnishments include cheddar cheese, Nacho cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, black beans and more. Did I mention the weekend breakfast buffet during football season is legit and couple years ago when I was there they didn't have the buffet out but made to order unlimited breakfast for $7.50.

This place is awesome, quick friendly service, good inexpensive food and heavy handed bartenders, the trivia-facts.

The prices are great for Portland, being from the Midwest where prices are much more modest. The food was delivered quickly and the atmosphere was chill. Although we didn't use it, having access to a remote to control the TV above your table is pretty unique.

All the bartenders here are awesome! Download perka if you come here a lot, worth it. Everyone is so cool and laid back here.

My bf and I have gone to this bar a fair amount of times to watch sports games and grab food. It's usually a great time and the food is pretty good too on a good day. They also have a small tv on each booth if you aren't feeling the big screen. Today was kind of a bummer though. We ordered an appetizer and got that in a decent amount of time with how many people were there (it was pretty busy). When we finally ordered our entrees, our waiter Josh wrote it down and we expected the same wait time. 25 minutes go by and I catch a glance at the waiter and he comes over and asks us if we wanted to order something... I had to remind him that we ordered almost half an hour ago and he just says "oh" and asks us what we ordered again. No apologies or anything. We ended up having to wait another 40 minutes before we decided just to cancel our order. It seemed that even at that time, our order wasn't even started yet. Pretty disappointing. I understand how hectic it can be in a sports bar when a big game is playing but how Josh handled the whole situation was not professional. If you forgot our order say sorry and fix the issue. If the order is going to take a long time then tell us instead of letting us sit there getting more upset. When we tell you what we have waited an hour at that point, don't just say "yeah it's been crazy" say that you were overwhelmed. It also seemed that he may have been the only waiter? Why? The place was packed...

Their brunch is an amazing food deal!!! The spread was the bomb and they had someone making personalized omelettes good deal good drinks and the service was entertaining

They got the best drinks (margaritas) and the best food!! They also got really affordable prices

So I've been attempting to make myself a regular at this bar. The service the last few times has been underwhelming but food is good and they play the Blazers games. 90% of the reason I'm there. Tonight 12-5-15 however was an insult. I arrived at 4:45 to watch the 5 pm game. Ordered food immediately. I waited until Halftime. Nobody came to check on me. No food. Over an hour. I left. Called to let the manager know. Talked to a guy named Wes. At this point I'll find a bar that wants my business. Very disappointed and no reason to come back. A lot of options to choose from.

Delicious and great service and music! The sweet hot wings are to DIE for and they have specials on every week day and brunch and mimosas on the weekend! Great atmosphere for sports and big groups too!

Great bartenders, great tap rotation, and a million TV's come for timbers and blazers games. You can change the channel to whatever game you want.

I really like this place. I was a strictly Clamity Jae's girl for years but I decided to branch out. I quickly chummed it up with the regulars and have a good time everytime I'm here. When I come in the bartender is ready to pour me my usual. Like to the point he just nods at me and says "the usual?" It makes me feel super cool. Karaoke on Thursdays and Saturdays. The KJ is an total sweetheart and will even duet with you if all your friends are being little bitches and won't sing with you. Don't get me wrong. This place has it flaws. No decked out smoking section and the pool tables are oddly slanted. I wouldn't really consider that last one a bad thing actually since I've learned to finagle that angle to my favor. The reason I was actually inspired to write a review today was I had the burger. It was so good! I got the basic cheeseburger not expecting anything amazing and it was freaking huge and delicious. All the toppings were fresh and the bun didn't have sesame seeds which to me is and good thing. They have the best homemade bar ranch and I'm obsessed with their sweet potato fries. Good place to chill and watch a game or bullshit with your friends. Oh and James the bartender is one of my favorite people in the universe.

Honestly this place is my most favorite place ever! I stopped going because I went vegan a while ago. Anyways, it's been ages since I've been to Cuddies so I am very excited that they finally have an all VEGAN burger! I am so happy! THANK YOU MCGILLACUDDYS!!

This is a perfect place to go to watch a game and have burger. By far the best bar on that stretch of Halsey. The burgers are really good...like REALLY good. I would not recommend their house named "IPA". It is pretty terrible, but fortunately they have always had plenty of tasty options, so we only made that mistake once. I would describe the waitresses as casually attentive and they have all been very nice. It's just a pretty casual and relaxed place.

I came here to meet up with some friends and family to watch a Blazers game and enjoy some fatty wings. While the wings were absolutely awesome, I honestly could not say the same for the service. Our friend arrived about 20 minutes before us to hold down a table in the middle of the room and not one server came during that time to ask if she wanted a drink. We were there for the whole basketball game and were only served one round of beers, our waitress walking by tens of times without checking our status. When we stopped waiting around and went up to the bar to order drinks the bartender was a little rude. The night was a little busy and our server was a little new, so I will give them that. But I'm just writing an honest review about my experience. Again, Mondays = wing night...and they are HUGE and the sauce choices are delicious. Be warned...your wings will show up swimming in a pool of sauce, so you might want to consider ordering it on the side. It's your average pub with average service. Honestly I'll probably come back even though the service was nothing to holler about. It's just one of those places you have to come into expecting that.

Happy hour everyday from 4-6 and late night as well. This place may be oddly located and a bit of a dive but it's great for watching sports. Every Sunday they have an all-you-eat breakfast buffet for us NFL fans plus a couple drink specials. The food overall is not bad. Nothing overly special, but for $7 a pretty darn good deal. This place can indeed get crowded but have never had an issue finding a seat somewhere. Each booth has a small plasma where you can control what you want to watch. Plus there are projectors/larger flat screens plastered across the bar providing your every sport-watching need. It's pretty awesome. HH pints are $3.25 and most are generally $4 any other time. Not a bad deal for what they have on draft. Pitchers were only $11.25. Overall a good deal. Their food is actually good for bar food. The burgers aren't too shabby. Another plus to this place is during the games they do a free raffle for all patrons in the bar. A chance to win free blazer tickets, t-shirts, etc. is very cool!
