O'Connell's Bar and Diner in Fife

Food was very disappointing, mushroom soup tasted of to much veg bullion, battered fish was more like chewy not crispy. The only thing I would recommend was the young girl who served us, she was very attentive, and the place smells of pee

Plastic cups, poor stage setup, poor speaker quality 🤷

I organised a workshop meal. I booked well in advance for 1.30 Sunday. I was not mad aware when booking that they close at 3 on a Sunday, we were the only people there and food took over 45 mins to arrive. When me and 1 other person arrived before the rest of the party (7people) we were asked 3x if we were ready to order our food even though we told the girl we are waiting for the rest to arrive. There was no atmosphere. The food especially my meal was chicken fajita, was a burnt chicken breast on onions. This was embarrassing as I was the one who chose to come here to eat.

Very impressed with the friendly helpful staff. Great food at very reasonable prices. Will eat there again.

Great place , food was amazing! Very friendly staff , top service from start to finish.

Been here for lunch a few times, friendly staff, food always comes out quick and is delicious presented well, i definitely recommend!

4 of us stopped for 2 courses, all the food was fantastic, really fantastic as was the service from the ex RAF chap who was chatty and friendly. Highly recommended!

🤓 Great O.A.P. menu. 3 courses £10. Good value.

Filthy floors. Shoes were sticking to the floor. Food was drastic. Service was good. Toilet was filthy too.

This is an amazing bar hidden off Kirkcaldy centre. The food is great and portion size great. Great service and reasonable prices. Highly recommended!!!

Toilets were really bad, bo need as was empty. No wonder prices exhotbitan

Got a cooked breakfast, bacon was inedible as the fat was still white, fried egg was overcooked, sausages ok, 1slice of toast with 1 pat of butter, ok coffee. Waitress didn't know what was included with breakfast, no atmosphere to speak of, £8.50 for breakfast but would recommend going elsewhere, definitely won't be back.

The worst breakfast I have had in years. The temperature in this place is kept low by keeping the inner back doors open and the wind finds its way in from the smoking area doors. The menu had a front page advertising all day breakfast for £7.95 including tea/coffee so that was for me. I asked my server what was in the breakfast and they had to go and ask the kitchen??? The breakfast arrived, covered in cress???, the potato scone and sausage were deep fried and the tomato was a whole tomato, unsliced. In summary the room was cold, the staff were not familiar with the menu, the food had no thought in its serving and the music, the Smiths/The Cure, just not right for this time of day.

Food here is absolutely amazing huge menu and cocktail menu. Curtis and Vickey serving are 5 star staff 🩷

Friendly staff, great atmosphere

I got physically assaulted because I tried to bring a drink out and wasn’t told that isn’t allowed

Delicious food & lovely staff. Will be back again soon.

Great experience the music is decent bar tenders are lovely. Drinks are little prices

Only reason I took a star off is because of the £10 minimum spend when using card payment

There was only one swrcer for the floor and the bar she was working extremely hard that was not in question and was clearly visible however ahe could not tend to the volume of staff in a timely manner in her own. So much so the chef was coming out the kitchen to deliver the food

Was here for the live music in the afternoon to support my adopted son as he was playing and had food too.

The new chef was amazing! Catered to us with gluten allergies and was even able to have the chicken carbonara ! It’s was delicious . Going back for gf fish and chips this weekend , as the chef said his kitchen should be better stocked to accommodate most things on the menu as GF. Winner winner chicken dinner!

Excellent food, way better than standard pub food. Service was excellent as well. It was quiet.

Went for a retiral meal, although we had all preordered food took a while to arrive , some was cold, other meals very sparse helpings , prices for drinks were dearer up in the eating area compared to that downstairs bar b4 going up. Also no lift or told such considering age related event which was difficult for couple of the group . Atmosphere was only made by the guests . Won't hurry back all things considered .

Good place for food and drinks. Staff are nice but a bit over priced for soft drinks

Food needs to be promoted better. This would be great fir steak and fish. As there isnt one in Kirkcaldy It can do a little better A couple of beer stained seats. But it's a nice place. Busy Friday and Saturday night

Went there and was told I had an amazing night the next day I did not feel so clever 🤢🤒

Used to love coming in to this bar. Not been out for 2 years. Was not the friendly place I remember. Dj sucked

The food was tasty, freshly cooked and generous portions. 😋 The service was excellent, very attentive. Asked if we want more drinks and if everything was good with the food. We had a nice early tea on a Friday afternoon.

Ok place bit quiet . 👍 Support your local clubs n.pubs

Busy night. Popped in after the Callum Beattie gig and the place was bouncing

Served 12 people that came after me before they got to me

Excellent night out, staff were friendly and helpful even though the place was extremely busy. Definitely recommend it.

Had great time here Sunday 20th with family for brother in law's birthday, staff friendly and helpful food reasonably priced , good choice of drinks

Had a night out here for someone leaving the company I work for, so ended up in the upstairs bar area all night. Which looks lovely to be honest but for starters if your using card to pay, it's a minimum £10 spend which isn't great if you have to spend over £10 everytime you goto the bar. Had to get something I might not even have wanted to take it over the 10er everytime. Floor was a but sticky to be honest, and the toilets were not exactly well maintained. No toilet paper, hand towels stuck in the dispenser and a bucket under the urinal in the men's which the staff needed to be reminded to empty before it flooded. Not sure constant toilets checks are happening here as they should be. There was a nice buffet put on for us which was pleasant. No issues with the food I was eating, it was quite nice to be fair. Overall was average and some issues need looked into. Last but not least bar prices were higher than I expected, can't say it's somewhere I'll be back to anytime soon.

Was very quiet when we went, was early though. Surprised in the gents, us that a camera pointing at the urinals?

Had breakfast with tea for 2 for £10 the breakfast was amazing but the server was the best part she was so friendly and happy her name was Natalia member of staff that should be kept and given a wage rise!

Was in for a bar lunch. Someone came in with a dog and it sat on the seat sniffing about on table. Waitress clapped all over the dog and she had to serve food. Will not be back very unclean. Where is the health and safety. No animal should be in restaurants or cafes. This was a few months ago

Work afternoon/night out. Place was not busy. Food was basic and not great. Service was very slow and order always wrong. Drinks orders were never correct or just never appeared Staff need proper training or have more staff on Wont be back

Was in this establishment last night on my leaving doo. The chef prepared us nachos for all of the group and other nibbles,which were outstanding,on the house no charge.never have we received such great customer service.we really appreciated this gesture and would highly recommend this place to anyone. Thank you so much you really made our night with your kindness

Went here with my wife and friend's to celebrate me and my wife 10th anniversary meal was lovely so was the dessert

Often frequent this place, always been decent. Surprised today, staff were slow, unmotivated and borderline rude. Waited ages on our mains after our starters about 30 mins and it wasn't busy at this time. I had to ask for cutlery to eat mains when they came. Also was overcharged, overall disappointed as said previously usually enjoy it here. Staff I think must be new, bored, young and fed up.

Have clearly changed staff and it shows in the service. No fish or steak so a lot of the menu wasn't available. The worst part was the waiting. After starter was finished we waited for half an hour just for someone to come over and ask if we wanted anything else? We were waiting on our mains and they didn't even have them cooking despite taking our order. Quality of food was as you'd expect, this is only based on starter, I told them not to bother with the mains after how long it had taken. We go out once or twice a week to different places and will never be back here.

There was only one vegan thing on the menu, and you were out, so.... the orange was nice as was the service, my other three friends, enjoy their meals.

Amazing food and atmosphere as always, staff is lovely too, one of the best places to at at in Fife

Great bar staff and door staff favourite place to go.

Nice place for inviting friends at the weekend.

Just had a great meal staff very attentive steak pie was great thoroughly recommend.

Only had a few drinks. It was a quiet day when we were in nice staff, well the guy who served us.

Great atmosphere, very welcoming, good prices and very accommodating.

Lovely cocktails here.. staff are really friendly

Very nincs team and good food...

After a private party I was under the impression this is what Kirkcaldy has now to offer for night out. Great atmosphere as a visitor tot he town but the let down was from the inconsistent DJ..for a 1st time out out and opportunity to 💃 instead of my kitchen 😆

It's such a shame they keep messing up our order because the food is actually really hearty and tasty. The pizzas are fantastic and I love the lunch menu. They really need to know the difference between chilli and chilli con carne.

Great service great food highly recommend

Great food great friendly and helpful staff lovely decor and atmosphere

It was OK staff were very pleasant

Myself and partner visited your premises today ,ordered steak pie when it arrived it looked good until we started to cut the pastry couldn't get my knife through, told the manager told me she would change it or cut it as have trouble with my hands but I declined the reason I declined was incase someone asked for the same ,to be truthful I really didn't want to finish my dinner after this incident, but we were not alone other people were not satisfied , as we were leaving your premises i asked one of the persons if she enjoyed her meal and she said it was awful and wasn't paying for it ,next your manageress came to which she asked what was the problem again we told her this is ridiculous people complaining then she said to me i told you I would change it but what I can't get my head round is why did it come out of the kitchen in the first place

The chicken Fajita burger is amazing!! Friendly staff very helpful.

Food was great, small mix up with order but was rectified promptly. Friendly Staff as well!

Food here is great, staff very friendly

Friendly staff, all adhering to the rules. Was a great night out.

The scampi is awesome and their breakfasts are great.

Staff is very unpleasant. Feels like they want to get rid of customers instead of promoting the place. Very disappointed

First time here with my grand daughter and 9month old great grandson. Staff took us to our table and had banter with us, we ordered our drinks and as we had a look at the menu saw a nice change to most average menu's . A 2 course lunch of in my case a beautiful home made tomato soup with crusty bread and butter followed by fish with an extremely crispy light batter, dry crunchy chips and peas with a lovely tartar sauce. My granddaughter had a starter of fried haloumi and a main course of scampi. All were well cooked and presented. Not been in Kirkcaldy for a good while but recon on being back sooner than later.

Amazing food, good c19 precautions and the staff are lovely

Lovely place for dining and cocktails service was great too

Service was very poor , the main meal was just not good ,dessert pancakes & Nutella well got burnt pancakes & Nutella, would not go back

Pleasant staff.Wine choice underwhelming.

Nice surroundings, bright cheery modern, nice food

Great food and drinks, enjoyed our night here.

We sat outside, staff was lovely along with the food and the cocktails. It was cold and the atmosphere was really good. Well organised and felt safe.

Friendly excellent staff and crowd, COYBIG 10IAR

Amazing staff friendly and courteous booked in with details well distanced and great food burgers first class try the chicken and haggis amazing well done don't get out that often for lunch but will be back

Nice atmosphere good food great service

Fantastic meals. Have eaten here many times and the food is always great and so are the staff. If your in Kirkcaldy, go here for your meal.

Good & appropriate social distancing measures are in place, makes you feel very comfortable whilst dining. Very good food with excellent friendly service, affordable prices with good sized portions.

Waited over 30mins for drink orders to be taken over 1hr for starters to be brought out. Food was good when it arrived kids were starving so didn't go down well.

My reviews are shifting gears to focus on how well restaurants are doing with managing covid issues. Things like staff properly wearing masks, disposable one use menus, greeter taking contacting tracing information for you instead of you filling in a log book, reviewing proper covid protocol with customers before seating them, pointing out hand sanitizer locations, table separation and social distancing, restricting movement inside by patrons, sanitizing tables and chairs, one way traffic flow in one door out another, paper towels in bathrooms with sanitizer stations so doors aren't spreading from door hand contact, plastic partitions between booths, using planters to divert food traffic around tables to maintain distancing, doing logical things to prevent spreading covid. They get five stars here. Excellent job. Food was great. Service was excellent. Actually felt like i could relax and enjoy my meal in a place where covid was being taken seriously.

Went for lunch and a few drinks with friends. Staff were absolutely brilliant and fully compliant with social distancing. Food was excellent and drinks were reasonable.

Upstairs for a surprise 50th, really good place to have a party.

Visited o'Connell's last night and was very surprised to see the Burritos bar wasn't there, Why advertise this but no longer available, VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Had a delivery from here for the first time tonight. Food itself was mediocre. Felt like the onion rings were bit greasy. Chips were bit dry but the cajun chicken burger n brioche roll was good. Delivery arrived earlier pushing a star up the rating. Would I get another delivery? Probably not.

Good food for the money service slow

Went for breakfast on Christmas eve. Food was good and hot (unlike some other places I could mention).

Staff were friendly and welcoming, unfortunately the food was just ok not as good as it had been on previous visit

Great staff great food at very good prices we love this place.

Was lovely place to eat good food lovely cocktails too 😁

A hit or a miss! Good value lunch meal deals. Mac & cheese was a bit dry but has been good other days. Wouldn't recommend the pizzas - base is quite thick & doughy. Mexican options looked good but limited fillings for vegetarians.

Needs way more staff midweek... Find myself waiting 10mins regularly.. Good place tho and staff are cool.. Just not enough of them

Great staff and friendly atmosphere and service

Amazing place great prices and great service burgers are to die for

Average bar and atmosphere Decent bar staff

Food was lovely but the air con wasnt working and due to being in a big party it got uncomfortable hot

Loads of people in tonight but far too small for a good night out. We need a bigger space to cater for the older client's and the dancing.

Unfortunately my burger was inedible- I was offered a drink as compensation but I was drinking water so declined. My son and husband enjoyed their food.

Came in for breakfast. Really good sized portions, delicious food (the "blaggis" was an unexpected but tasty addition to the vegetarian option). Serving staff were friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was very relaxed, good choice of music for the morning.

puts an amazing events for the big occasion in kirkcaldy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈👍

The "band" that was playing on Friday 21st June 2019 was that bad that it cleared the bar by 10.30pm
