Seamus McDaniel's

Food was amazing, and we got seated right away outside. Our server was fast and very nice, also had good recommendations on what to order. The other staff was very friendly as well always opening the door for you if you needed to go inside. Would definitely recommend for lunch or dinner.

After reading the glowing reviews, I had sky-high hopes for this place. Maybe I just picked a bad night? I went for the BBQ burger and wings, expecting a flavor explosion. What did I get? Mediocrity on a plate. I seriously wonder if people write their rave reviews while drunk. Either that, or they had a different chef the night I visited. Not a single grain of salt or pepper graced my food. It was as if they had a vendetta against seasoning. On the upside, the manager, or the guy with the ponytail, was super cool. Great customer service—speedy, courteous, the whole nine yards. The waitress was also great. But, yeah, that was my experience. Flavorless food, but fantastic staff. If only they could season my food with as much enthusiasm as they served it!

Wish we could have stayed longer! We decided to grab a quick bite to eat before heading back home across the state and I'm glad we did! This place food was so good and the service was awesome. I was really impressed with the quickness of the service because there was a bridal shower of at least 20 people when we walked in. Very happy with this experience and definitely recommend this place. Seems like a really cool place to grab some drinks and good food.

Delicious burger! Great service with a friendly staff. My kids enjoyed the food as well as my wife and I. We all ordered from different sections of the menu and nothing disappointed us.

St. Louis is known for neighborhood bars. This is a favorite in the area called Dogtown south of Forest Park. Amazing burgers, and from what I’ve heard their chicken sandwiches amazing as well. Amazing proportions you’ll be taking leftovers home. Great bartender who gave us great service and great drinks as well. We will be back.

Seamus McDaniel's in Dogtown is a classic Irish pub with a solid menu and drink selection. The service is friendly and welcoming, as one would expect from an Irish establishment. the prices are on the higher side, but offers a decent experience. The wings were overcooked, sauce understanding. Fries were unseasoned, and although hot they refused to hold onto seasoning. Had to salt the ketchup to make it eatible Favorite Food: The shrimp po'boy is highly recommended. Common Complaint: Some reviewers felt the service was extremely slow, especially during busy periods.

This place was nice. Came for lunch. Outside is shaded and breezy so we were comfortable. Had the chicken wings and loaded fries. For bar food it was excellent. Good prices and great searcice

Stopped by here after a trip to the zoo, seemed like several other parents did as well. Great kid friendly restaurant with great food. I enjoyed the buffalo chicken sandwich. Our server Randy was friendly and attentive.

They have a fabulous, Happy Hour and it's just not an hour. It's Monday - Friday 4PM-7PM, on Friday & Saturday it's also 10PM-12AM. Then Sunday it is, All Day. There's just one small catch, it's only available at the bar. Which is not problem for me, because that is typically where I sit. My recent visit, I enjoyed a couple of Vodka Sodas and an order of Trashed Wings. OMG! Those wings were super crispy, juicy and meaty. Next time, I'll add an order of fries with my wing. It's not on the HH menu, but it will still be a perfect side. The bartender was attentive and hustled to take care of all the guest seated at the bar. If you plan things right, this HH could be a cheap date or an inexpensive dinner.

Dined here at the recommendation of my good friend as we were on the search for fish Sandwich. Found It! Fish Sandwich add Cheese, sub side salad for fries and also an order of Potato Skins with Ranch. All of it was great! Pub food the right way and I'd certainly come back to try other menu items!

If you are trying to take advantage of any happy hour specials, make sure to leave your child at home. Having a child with you negates your happy hour privileges. Very disappointing. What was becoming our new Sunday tradition was just ruined thanks to a cranky bartender.

We stopped in last night for a late-night dinner. We were able to snag a reasonable spot on the side street. As you walk through the main entrance, you walk right into the bar area and around the corner is the seating area for dinners. The bartender acknowledged us as we came in which was nice and seated us promptly. Our waitress Tina was very nice and stated we're known for our burgers, wings and something else I forgot. We ordered the double smash burger that came with extra cheese and bacon and a side of crinkle cut fries. For a place known for their burgers, the taste on the burger was highly disappointing. I expected waaay better. The bun on the burger was very off putting. It was not large enough for the burgers and toppings as well as it wasn't your typical burger bun, very dense and simply just didn't work. The fries were hot-n-fresh. We also ordered a 6pc wing which the wings were cooked as requested with a nice flavor. And a small onion ring which consisted of 4 exceptionally gigantic hot-n-fresh rings. The onion rings were literally just OK. They sell Seamus McDaniels merchandise at the end of the bar. The staff is pleasant but the food is lacking for bar food.

My husband and I came here for dinner last night. We were actually trying to go somewhere else but it was closed. My husband had been here before when he was in college so it was nostalgic for him. This place is a pretty typical bar on one side with a restaurant on the other side. We were seated quickly as the restaurant was pretty empty. The waitress was super friendly and helpful. I ordered an old fashioned, not the best drink but drinkable. My husband got a Manhattan and felt the same way. We both ordered the bacon and blue cheese burger. The burger was huge but delicious, had a good amount of toppings on it. The bar side of this place is pretty loud but the dining area was great! Only reason I am given a 4 instead of a 5 instead of 5, is the drinks. But def recommend the burgers.

Had a little bit of time to kill between events that my friend and I were going to so we decided to stop here for a beer and an appetizer. They had fantastic appetizer specials. We decided to get the fried pepper jack cheese. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of it. It did come with 10 good size cheese sticks and one small container of marinara sauce. I would definitely ask for a extra sauce next time. This was a good deal at the happy hour price of $6 or $5 if you got more than one happy hour appetizer. They were very good and we will definitely be back. Looking at the menu for the dining area, all of the food looked delicious. There are several items that I want to come back and try. They had a decent size bar and restaurant but a huge patio if you're here and the weather is nice. Our waitress/bartender, was very attentive to us.

Went today for Burger week. There was a sign on the bar advertising Burger week. They were EMPTY at Noon. Server came & said "I have a hang over" OK. Gave us menu, I said "I'm here for the Burger week special." She said "I'll be right back." 15 min. later she stood at the end of the bar looking at us, Never came back! We left! I see why they have NO customers. Poor customer service. I will not be back.

I found this place on stl.burger week app. I came in went to the outdoor area was greeted by a waitress and then sat down. No one came to check on me...but soon as two other ppl came in they were greeted sat down and given menus. I immediately politely got up and left.

Best happy hour in Saint Louis !!! Smash burger. Great beers. $5 apps. 4$ Jameson. Second best tots in town. Lauren, Loli , Laura rocks like no other.

I was a little late to meet with a couple people here, they said they did have to wait quite a bit to get in. Service was kinda slow and seemed really disconnected from our table. I liked the atmosphere of the place, definitely an Irish Pub. We sat on the porch and it was nice. It was about 15 minutes before they came to greet us or take a drink order. So that wasn't much fun. But we did come during lunch. So I did catch a little flack for my order seeing as how I was told the burgers here are amazing. I got the Adult Grilled Cheese, and it was exactly what I was hoping it would be. The other people with me got burgers and they did look amazing!!! We will be going back to try the burgers.

What a great spot in a great area! Seamus has a special place in my heart. I grew up 3 blocks from here in Dogtown and recall countless times as a kid walking past and wondering what it was like inside. Fast forward a bit and in my teens I took countless dates here, have been to numerous parties here, a class reunion, and its always the place i take people that are new to the area to show them what Dogtown is all about. So yes, I may be a little biased but lets get on to the food... Of course I've had nearly everything on the menu over the years, but most recently (and my go-to's) have been the Seamus cheese burger and the buffalo chicken sandwich. Appetizers are ALL fantastic with my favorites being the potato skins, fried mushrooms, and toasted raviolis. Wings are great as well, but usually I just get the chicken sandwich if I'm going that route. The pasta con broccoli is also a fantastic option as well as the Pork loin sandwich, just don't forget to get cheese to dip your fries, tots and sandwich in! And of course the ranch here is fabulous too if you like it a little thicker... I know if I go into my typical details on each item this review would be huge, so I'll keep this short and sweet. Bottom line... Seamus McDaniel's is a truly fabulous spot in the heart of Dogtown with a classic pub vibe and fantastic eats! I've NEVER been disappointed in the food, and the service is adequate considering the time of day you come and how busy they are at that moment. The happy hour specials (I hear) are the best you'll find anywhere, and with a juicy burger in one hand, an ice cold brew in the other, and the the old wooden pub architecture as a backdrop, Seamus checks all the boxes for me.

If it's after 9pm and you're looking for a centrally located spot to grab a beer and a bite, this is your spot! For a Wednesday night, the patio had a nice crowd. The breeze was blowing and the service was quick. I had a smash burger of deliciousness. The hubbs had their signature 10oz burger that never disappoints! The onions rings were huge and cooked to perfection. Leftovers popped in the air fryer did not disappoint. Oh yes, drink variety is on hit too. Go! Have fun.

I came on a Saturday night and was very happy this was the suggestion. I love Dogtown and Seamus is such a staple for it. My party arrived before me, and we were seated in the second room by the window. Lots of tvs to watch a game and a good vibe. Our sever was super welcoming and attentive, talkative, and interactive. We ordered a bucket of beers to start. I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted, but ended up going the greens route with the buffalo chicken salad with crispy chicken. We love ~balance~. Loved how there was provel on the salad (always a plus) and their sauce wasn't too spicy or overwhelming. The ranch was definitely good- tons of people rave about it! I personally prefer a bit thinner ranch, but it was for sure tasty. I'll definitely be returning to get the burger when the mood strikes because it looked delicious.

Seamus is a classic, irish pub. They have the staples - food is decent, nothing to write home about. Good vibes with both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is friendly.

I've had the wings, they're really good. The steak salad and buffalo chicken salad are great too. You can't go wrong with a burger. For a side, I really like the pasta con broccoli. You get a lot for what you pay. I love coming here, and the service is always excellent.

Vaguer visiting the zoo we were starving and craving burgers. Not wanting to pay $$$$ for a mediocre burger at the zoo, we came to this place. It was definitely a good choice. I ordered the pork loin sandwich and hubby got buffalo blue cheese burger. Both delicious.

A great spot to watch a game and enjoy good sandwiches and fries! In my booth no matter what side of the table you were seated you could see a screen. On a Saturday in the early dinner hour, most tables are occupied. I was observing the room and my order and others seemed to arrive quickly. I enjoyed to 10 oz burger and was not able to finish it. I was drawn to check out Seamus from a recent post on Instagram that highlighted their fries and sandwiches. I think on my return l definitely will try the turkey club and fries rather than the burger. My advice would be to come hungry if you are going to try a build your own or one of their special burgers.

Today was a weird experience for Seamus McDaniels. It's been awhile since we have been here and it's gone downhill. Everyone in our party's burgers were SO RARE. If you have a smash burger that's very rare-gross. We all were laughing because none of us could taste the fries. I thought it was weird to not see a bill. The waitress just told us what it was, then we signed away. Please bring back the old Seamus McDaniels!!!

I'll start by saying this place used to be one of my go-to's. The food was always great, service was friendly, and it was a fun atmosphere. Emphasis on WAS. In the last at least year I've noticed the place going extremely downhill. I hate writing bad reviews on local businesses, but it's sad to see what this place now is. I tried to go here today for the third time, and it's the third time I've left without eating any food. The first time was a little over a year ago- we came in with 3 adults and a baby, stood at the hostess stand for over 5-10 minutes with no one to greet us, there were no customers in the dining room, a few people at the bar, and only 2 tables being used in the bar area. Who I assumed was the owner? just looked at us from outside of the kitchen. I finally asked if we could have a table and he said there were none available (false,) so we left. Second time- we tried to order carry out a few months later, got on the business's website, placed an order through it, and went to go pick up. About 30 minutes went by and I never received an email, which I thought was weird, so I called before I went in to ask if it was ready. The owner said they never got the order, and the company was suppose to have taken down the online ordering system because their iPads didn't work or something? Never offered a solution, nor offer to make us the food we ordered. Third time was today. I had just my toddler daughter with me, waited about 5 minutes at the hostess stand for someone to greet us. It may not seem like a lot to others, but 5 minutes to be greeted or said hello to is a lot for me, especially with a hungry kid. Finally got to our booth. Waited another 10 minutes, and still no one came to take even our drink order. Only about 4 other tables seated in the dining room, but no one had food in front of them. We left and went across the street to Felix's. I'm really sad that these are my last experiences, but third strike you're out.

The food is classic pub food as expected. The prices are reasonable. The portions are large. The dining room is the usual tables chairs and flat screen televisions, We had a terrific server, Natalie. I liked the broccoli being offered as a side. It was nice to be able to have a great tasting vegetable to accompany our sandwich. I will recommend.

Burger week brought me here. Their huge 10 oz. burger with grilled onions was filling and very good (after I picked off the red onions and pulled off the onion rings to eat separately, as they weren't allowed to modify the special burger). I've never had any sandwich that needed onion rings. The tater tots were good, but it is hard to ruin that. Service was good. Just as I thought the food was a little slow coming, poof, there it was.

I was part of a group that ate dinner and socialized at this restaurant. Definitely a pub atmosphere. The servers were helpful and friendly. Draft beer was not on tap due to an issue with the taps not working. They have many types of canned beer to make up for it. My Guinness was cold. There are soft drinks available. They were good, the beer was fine but the food was mediocre at best. One of the men in our group said his fish sandwich was good. There are multiple hot and cold sandwiches on the menu. I had a blue cheese sandwich on a bun. It was good, but could have been better if there had bacon. The ladies room was clean Parking was something to be searched for. I would not go to this restaurant again unless the food improves.

You have to know what you're getting into with Seamus's. As long as you do, you'll love it. Seamus's is bar and tavern food and interior style. Lots of seating, so I never have a problem finding a table. The food is FANTASTIC. I especially think the Hot Wings and the Deep Fried Raviolis are well worth it. My boyfriend loves the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich which can also be a salad. We grabbed dinner last night at Seamus's to watch the STL SC game. When we sat down and NASCAR was on instead, a simple flagging of a waitress had the TVs changed before the game started. We ordered those favorites above and the Chicken Parm Sandwich. I didn't want the bread and requested it on lettuce instead. When the Chicken Parm came, the lettuce and onions came on the side for me to put together as I wished. Note: Seamus's does not have a drinks menu. I've included the waitress's written list as a photo here. When I say you have to know what you're getting into, I mean it's a sports bar with great food, but broken things everywhere. The booth we sat in has a gash through the cushion, one of the women's toilet doors is broken so you have to pick it up briefly to use it, one of the toilets tilts when you sit on it, and there is no formal drink menu. All of that said, the staff is so friendly and helpful and the food is great, so this continues to be a regular spot for us.

Good happy hour deals weekdays with $3 well drinks, cheap beer, and discounted apps! Fried pickles are awesome and their homemade ranch is to die for. HH is only in the bar area and can be crowded on Fridays.

Not a lot to say, it's a bar, it's an icon of dog town. You want a cold beverage and a good burger or bar sandwich it's a good go to place. It's what you expect of a neighborhood bar/restaurant. They serve your typical St. Louis favorites and have some original burgers. Love the covered patio for summer, was nice and breezy when we went so real comfortable. The staff were friendly and attentive.

We went here on the way home from a trip to Missouri Botanical Gardens for the Christmas lights. We were quickly sat outside, which was fine, because it is enclosed, but it was kind of chilly out there, and it took our waitress a while to come over. My family and I used to be frequent flyers at Seamus, but this may be the last time I go there. The menu has shrunk astronomically since the last time I went. There are no more entree options, only burgers and sandwiches. The atmosphere of the inside of the restaurant has gone down, too. It looked really dingy and smelled of sewer water. The bathroom was also very dirty.

I am a local to Dogtown neighborhood. Although I'm not a "regular" at this bar I've had a handful of experiences here and none of them have been positive. Poor service when dining in, multiple messed up orders on take out, and rude bartenders. Tonight really took the cake and may be my last time walking into this bar. Very rude service from our bartender. After waiting around for a few minutes we requested to sit at the bar. The bartender rolled his eyes at us and blankly looked at us without response. I did notice that others walking in were not being served either. Unless you are a REGULAR at Seamus your service will be poor and you will feel like an inconvenience to the staff!

Longtime customer of Seamus. Great burgers, good beers, and friendly environment. Try to go every time I'm back home in STL. D

Always good service & fantastic food. We came in for burger week. Lots of restaurants doing $8 burgers. We got the Mac & Cheese burger started with some potato skins, pretty standard. Lots of sour cream. Ended up taking half the burger home. I just love this place, lots of seating and plenty of tables. They have a lot of good food here. Great appetizers, cheese bites are to die for. We will be back again, and again.

Typical Bar Fair. Service was just ok. We sat outside which was great. Burger was well prepared.

We stopped in after golf at Forest Park with 18 people. The staff were accommodating and friendly even though they were crowded. Our waitress did a great job taking care of us. Food was good with generous portions. One of the best cod sandwiches around. All in all a good experience.

Nice outdoor seating with covering also. The fried mushrooms are delicious and the service was attentive. Thank you for a nice happy hour Friday 5/19/23.

Order: Bell's Two Hearted IPA | Smithwick's Irish Red Ale | Side of Fries + Ranch I love Seamus' rotation of interesting tap beers! Such a great atmosphere for visiting friends & watching "the game". Indoor cozy Irish-vibes pub, indoor/outdoor patio with tv's scattered around & spacious outdoor patio for nice days - lots of seating and located in the heart of downtown Dogtown, which is cute, Irish & right by Forest Park! Our pony-tailed server last night was so great to us, managing many tables and somehow still engaging and calm when he'd stop by our table. He gifted us an extra pour of Smithwick's Irish Red Ale, which was new to me and really smooth & lovely! Thank you!!!!!!!! Highly recommend checking out this spot when you're searching for a local spot to catch the game or grab a pint. I wish they had paper to-go boxes rather than styrofoam, so I recommend finishing your food there rather than taking it home if you're interested in saving the world. Xo!!

The menu has been greatly reduced so if you have a favorite look to see if its still on their menu. No salads really. club sandwich gone basically couple sandwiches and several burgers. My fave was gone so settled for BLT soggy bread, undercooked bacon and lettuce that was chewy or hard core. The fries too were cold and soggy. My fellow diners had their favorite roast beef but found it paled from their previous experiences. I also have to say the staff was far less attentive than in our many visits past. Prices are higher but that is to be expected Maybe if we were drinking ALOT it would have been better but with some crime issues and parking limited you may just want to choose another place

Looking for a "I want Happy Hour" spot in the city with real happy hour food to feed your belly and not break the bank?!!! Andddd starts at 3pm!!! This spot is perfect! Happy Hour, fun get out, laid back date night or group event!!!! (Exterior) Warmer weather temps: The garage doors lift up to create that summer time feel sexiness (it's not Las Vegas) but it's nice and clean. There is an outdoor digital wall jukebox (although it wasn't on when I visited). I requested Yacht Rock or EDM. There are 7 TVs (sports) - or by request for a party watch your own presentation!! There are several areas and the table tops can be pushed together for larger groups (call ahead). Stage: There is an area by the multi colored shamrocks which can be great for a 4-piece band (singer at ground level). BEER TAPS: (By Reservation) There are at least 40 beer taps!!! Parking: There's a parking lot and free on street parking Interior: It has that Old, wood East Coast Irish Bar feel. With some interesting decor. Sit at the bar or high top tables or in the dining room area. Restrooms: I believe I saw 2 men's restrooms and one female restroom! Lol Food: (in the process of being updated) I ordered from the Happy Hour menu the Buffalo wings (ranch dressing) A couple gentlemen next to me ordered from memory... the Blue Cheese burger & Chicken sandwiches with fries. They also had a appetizer (Fried Cheese)... which were these huge hunks of gooeyness!! (VEGGIE FOLKS - everything can be customized)!!!! After a day of playing golf in Forest Park, hit this spot up. Bored at home and tired of being single?? I'm sure you'll at least find folks to talk with. The staff is friendly and outgoing! You won't feel alone or be a stranger at this establishment! Cheers!! (I ate alone and sat alone but asked questions... hint hint).

Seamus McDaniels is not what it used to be. We had lunch there yesterday, 9/21/2024. From the moment we were greeted by the hostess to the point of leaving it was not a good experience. First, the hostess appeared to be bothered that people were coming in to eat and taking away from her phone time at the end of the bar. When speaking to us, she mumbled so we had to ask what she said each time she asked us a question. She seated us in a booth, which felt like sitting in a 1970's school bus with the springs touching our butts. Instead of repairing the seat coverings, they have blankets laid on them. Food: We ordered appetizers, which we were told they either no longer carried, or were out of stock. When ordering lunch, we ran into the same dilemma of not carrying several of their menu options. The waitress was kind and apologized for the inconvenience, and we are aware it was not her fault. When the drinks got there, the straws were shorter than the cups, so it was impossible to drink all of your drink. Most of the time, the straw sinks to the bottom and you have to reach in your drink to get it. The food was not the quality it used to be. My son's hamburger was dry and tasteless. Our salads made my wife's stomach upset for the rest of the day. Even the Reuben I ordered was not tasteful at all. After lunch I used the rest room which was very dirty and had flying insects all over. The soap dispenser didn't work and they have a dirty dollar store soap pump next to the sink. I used to enjoy going here for lunch or happy hour. I was excited to introduce my wife and son to it as an option when we are in Dogtown. After yesterday, we will not ever go there again. There are too many other places to eat around there to pay for utter disappointment. I do not recommend for anyone looking for good food in a clean atmosphere.

I love coming to this place They have the best food And the chicken wings are always so good

We ordered online through the ChowNow app and picked it up about 20 minutes later. Once we got there the order was ready to go and smelled delicious. The drive home felt like forever! The burgers were cooked to perfection, juicy, and massive. I feel like St. Louis has a lot of really good smashed burgers, but not a ton of normal burger options. I asked for my fries to be extra crispy and they did not miss the detail. This is definitely at the top of the list. Our orders were correct, prompt, and delicious - can't ask for more!

Absolutely amazing good. The service was friendly and prompt. Clean bathrooms are always a plus. Definitely will go back.

Best Irish pub in St. Louis (Dogtown) and most fun to go to with family and friends! Plus the food is fantastic!

When our family walked in for lunch it felt like I was walking into a college bar the morning after a frat social. I typically love dives so that isn't an absolute deal breaker. That vibe though carried over to the rest of the bar and the food. The seats on the booth were very torn with large chunks of foam showing. The food we got, a couple salads, burgers, and kids meals were fine, but not great. The fries and pretzels we got were soggy and overcooked respectively. Overall this was a huge disappointment for me.

A group of 6 went for our Christmas party. We could not have been received any more rudely. We went for a happy hour and a party and we're immediately told we couldn't have happy hour. Our drinks are appetizers on one side of the restaurant, etc. etc. we got up moved and there was no one in the restaurant and no one in the happy hour bar there been rumors how this restaurant is going to close down shut up And I can see now why I love Dogtown . I love the restaurants, but there's no one in a restaurant and they're going to be rude to six people that are going to eat and drink and experience the restaurant. I'm sorry it may be the last time I'll go there no reason for the rudeness and disrespect we got.

We ordered fried pickles, and chicken strips with fries. These items took over 30 minutes to come to our table. The fries and pickles were not fried long enough. After we left, not even within 15 minutes later our stomachs became uneasy and now my partner is throwing up. Maybe it was just a fluke occasion but our experience was not the best.

First time there and I'll be back. It was incredible. Love the pub ambiance. Burger was top notch. Maybe the best in the StL area. Service a little slow but there was a quick big rush so it was ok. Love the beer selection. My kind of place and the burger was special.

The food was delicious and the service is great. The area is rich and crowded i like it.

The Bloody Mary was just perfect to my liking, it's spicy which I love but if you are sensitive to heat it's not for you! The bartender was attentive and so was the owner. She had a nice personable conversation with me and introduced herself properly. The food was absolutely delicious!

Food was great. Service was great quick food and large portions. Wait person brought refills and checked on us several times. We sat out on the patio was able to relax and catch up with an old friend. Nice space outside and comfortable.

Such good food! We come here for the burger, chicken tenders and wing sauce.... But lately their tenders have been just ok and super small. Bring back the OG tenders plz!!!

Visited here on our first night in STL. When we walked in we did not see a hostess stand and no signs so we stood around aimlessly waiting to be greeted. This never happened. Eventually we found the hostess stand and were seated. This was a Sunday night and it was not packed, but service was pretty slow. The ambiance was great though for kids and families and the food was delicious when it came out!
