Welcome to O'Brien's Restaurant and Bar

“ **Traveler's Food Guide: O'Brien's Restaurant at Chicago O'Hare (Concourse H)** If you're passing through Concourse H at **Chicago O'Hare International Airport**, one standout food option is **O'Brien's Restaurant**. While their **corned beef sandwich** caught my eye, I opted for the **steak sandwich**--and I'm really glad I did. Unlike most steak sandwiches where the meat is sliced up, this was a **whole piece of steak**, at least **half an inch thick**, if not more--a rare find these days and a real treat. Cooked perfectly to **medium**, just as I ordered, it was served on a **nice roll** & cheese, that complemented the sandwich well. I kept it simple with **just lettuce** and added **mayonnaise on the side**. I also got the **French fries**, and they were **divine**--exactly how fries should be. They were **larger than shoestring fries**, with a **pleasantly crispy, crunchy** exterior and a **soft, pillowy interior** reminiscent of mashed potatoes. Absolutely perfect. The **staff were friendly and attentive**, and my food arrived quickly, making for an easy and enjoyable meal. If you're **traveling south to Charlotte** or have a layover in **Concourse H**, **O'Brien's** is a great choice. Of course, if steak sandwiches aren't your thing, there are plenty of other food options in the area--but if you're in the mood for something hearty and well-prepared, this spot won't disappoint. ”

“ I stopped in for lunch, getting their Chicago Dogs. Service was decent and the hot dogs tasted good, even though the hot dog seemed to be ticker than what I've gotten at other places when I get a Chicago Dog. The fries were excellent. I'd definitely return. ”

“ RICARDO and MARCO are the realest. They kept it real for my 5 hour delay and were on point with both service and pep. I didn't have a single bite of food but they were the best bar tenders. Nothing else mattered when I was at their bar. Thank you R and M for the best service ever on my constant delay! ”

“ A pleasant surprise at ORD. Yes, you're on the edge of an airport food court, so the ambiance is a food court. But the staff here seems to genuinely care about their product and customer service. They may never see you again, but they treat you like you're a regular. Marco, in particular, was welcoming and attentive. They totally can do the "I have only a few minutes to my flight" quick service, but luckily, we had a little more time to spend. We had Chicago dogs that were very good and the real deal. We also had perfectly poured Guinness. I'm surprised that this location is now on my list of places to stop in an airport. See you the next time through! ”

“ *UPDATED NOVEMBER 13, 2023* Ricardo!! Superb service. My husband and I had a few hours before our very long overseas flight, and were ravenous and thirsty. We ended up in the same O'Hare terminal as we have been in recent flights. We wandered through the terminal and I just knew that we were going with the old reliable standby O'Brien's. We were fortunate to grab a small high top two-seater table where we could do some people-watching and also see the TVs. I was hoping to see the awesome Marcos but his shift was not starting yet. That's OK because we got RICARDO who was just as amazing. Hustling, friendly, laughing, providing excellent table service to all around us. Seriously just having a great time and I appreciated his enthusiasm as we were preparing ourselves for a horrid flight. I asked Ricardo for a nice dry white wine and he came over with the bottle, made a joke about leaving the bottle (maybe he could see the dread in my face about the long flight coming up, haha) The wine is nice and crisp, cold, yes a bit overpriced.. but it is 1) Chicago and 2) O'Hare airport. What do you expect? I would rather give my money to O'Brien's than the other places in the airport. Service is always with a smile here. He asked for our drink orders, and brought us ice water right away. We ordered our food from him. Ricardo was on top of everything. Our food came out right away, nice and hot. My husband has a new obsession with their Chicago hot dogs and he has not been disappointed yet. I got the fish and chips as there really isn't anything else meat-free on the menu other than plain French fries. The fish n chips were OK and just enough until our in-flight meal. This establishment is always clean and tidy, very kind and attentive servers. Next time I am flying out of this terminal this will be the first place I go. Thank you to Ricardo, Marcos and Theodore for amazing service as always. ”
