Oconnells Bar And Diner in Fife

Witnessed a bouncer argue with a couple of girls wouldn’t let them in but aloud a underage girl to walk in without being id

Visited late on a Friday for drinks with friends, extremely quiet don't know how they are managing to stay open! Nice enough looking venue with good music. Clientele varied, but mainly a younger crowd. Toilets not maintained very well. Wouldn't hurry back for a night out, I prefer the atmosphere in other venues.

Quiet I the day time Busy at night Staff are quite nice food is ok was looking for a late breakfast Needs more oomph Will go back again to see if its changed a little

Went for lunch with family there was a lot of food supply issues to start with when food arrived food was really greasy and chef had substituted tomatoes for jarred sundried tomatoes that were really oily and not necessary on sandwich so we were disappointed

Great time for my cousin’s birthday. Has nice mocktail, Mac n cheese and cheesecake for dessert were delicious. Friendly staff, big place and great atmosphere.

Was here with the wife for a meal, Even though it was very busy we got seated straight away. Food was amazing our sever was lovely however i didn’t catch her name. All staff were helpful and the drink selection is very impressive! The fajitas are a must if you visit! We will be back.

we had the best drinks for amazing prices and lovely staff too. Very friendly and welcoming 100% recommend, great atmosphere !!

Not many places for breakfast nowadays, but standard just isn't there , quality of food just not up there with rest and bit pricey when you compare to Louis browns in dalgety bay, even though 20 mins travel I would rather spend my money there

I visited with a friend and had the paté and then the fajita pasta both which were really nice. The service was fast and friendly and I'd go back again. Good pub food.

Popped in here for a Sunday bar lunch, great food, large portion sizes that tasted really nice, great service polite, prompt and well presented servers. Great experience not too rushed not too slow just perfect.

average foods,careless staff,cold place ,hate decor, nothing i like here at all,could be improve ,coz ,not gonna be for very long time otherwise

Visited this afternoon with my oldest daughter and had a nice lunch. The menu has a decent selection, with a 2 course menu for £10.95 that had a few options. We went for burger and steak pie. Portion sizes were generous. The steak pie was really meaty but not enough gravy for my personal taste but just a wee point. The chips were delicious - nice big fat ones. Daughters burger was well stacked and her fries looked good too! Service was friendly and attentive. The food prices are reasonable, not the cheapest but portion size as I mentioned is generous so value for money! Might have to try the Mexican options next time!

Not impressed. Got our main meal before our starter, chips were frozen chips that tasted of fish, £19 for a steak really, frozen chips, rubbish wee salad and a wee steak. Table had a big wobble going on. Not once were we asked if our meal was ok. We won't be back.

Popped in for a lunchtime beer and bite to eat. Initially thought the smell was fish emanating from the kitchen, but became apparent it was something else ending in “ish”. Particularly worrying as it was on the same side as the kitchen. Quickly finished my drink without eating and won’t be back. Shame as otherwise seemed a nice environment and staff were friendly though clearly embarrassed by the pong. Avoid.

Best place in town wether you want to go for a meal or go for a night out tbe entertainment is great and will be back on a regular basis!

A small group of us had breaky on a Sunday morning, the food that was served tasted really nice and the price was reasonable. The inside has been totally revamped and looks quite nice. The servers were polite, prompt and well presented.

Visited during the week with a friend. Had enchiladas. Massive portion but after a few mouthfuls became a touch boring. More substance over quality.

Popped in for lunch with my daughter not very busy given menu and drinks order taken quickly I had the club sandwich which was full of chicken and bacon daughter had thePhilly steak baguette both meals came with chips and side salad must add side salad was crisp and fresh with touch of dressing we both really enjoyed them managed to fit in sticky toffee pudding which again was delish will return

I love it for all the wrong reasons. People watching heaven. There was a guy here in his tracksuit drinking a bottle of irn bru he brought in with him, his two friends dancing next to him while he just stared at the carpet. Another guy in full waterproofs, greasy hair, sipping pints and watching women dance.It's just a bit dated. The draft juice always tastes like red bull, so matter what spirit you order with a mixer, it always tastes like red bull. If you are in the mood for dated tunes, an older crowd, sticky carpets and a story to tell then this is the place.

A large clean and tidy establishment serving good quality pub food. Good service and all at a fair price.

Tried O'Connell's as an early evening food option. It offers variety against the standard pub grub. Good service and space to eat and talk. Drawback is that it is pricey on a cheap Kirkcaldy High St.

Visited here with friends for a catch up. Service very good the staff friendly and attentive. Good choice on menu all happy with what we had. Presentation excellent.

Dropped in about 6pm looking for somewhere to eat. The place was quiet (empty, actually) and the menu looked good. I had nachos (excellent) followed by a goulash (less so) washed down by a couple of Peronis, all for £23.

Plenty to choose from the menu, service is excellent! You do not wait to long for food and always comes out piping hot! Lovely modern and clean bar!

This restaurant offers a good menu. The portions of food were also good and the food was cooked to perfection. Service was also good.

Went here with my daughters for lunch. The food was excellent, we planned on having a main and a dessert but the Main filled us all up so much there was no chance of managing a dessert! Great quality too. Great service and friendly staff. Very clean and tidy.

Had lunch here with a friend of mine recently and we were not impressed in the food quality and were both left feeling a bit disappointed to be fair.

I was in for breakfast yesterday and I ordered the full breakfast and asked if I could swap the the haggis and black pudding for a sausage and was told this wouldn't be allowed as they can only swap meat for meat and veg for veg.

My 1st time in O'Connells was with a group of friends. Our table was at the front Windows which was nice as it was light. Inside was dark. We had a 3 course meal which was very nice. Good choices on menu. In particular, I had the chicken fajita pasta which was delicious. Staff were friendly. Unfortunately the air conditioning was set too low and it was very cold. Also once the music starts at 8pm it is very very loud so if it's a meal your going for and chat I'd say eat early.

Popped in to Duchess for lunch but they were full. Staff suggested head along to O'Connells and very happy they did. Great food, fantastic presentation and excellent service. Would definitely recommend a visit

I actually thought this was a Witherspoon's, everything was very similar. Burger was delicious, stacked high and fresh. Tonnes of fries with it. My daughter had fish which was also very generously portioned. Nice friendly and attentive staff. We would eat here again if in the area!

I had lunch with my wife at Oconnells. The Hamburger i had was one of the best i have eaten. My wife had baked potato and was equally pleased. The portions for each were generous, well cooked and presented. The service provided was also very good. I will definitely return and will be recommending to my friends.

We popped in for breakfast Ordered 2 full breakfasts and a New Yorker , pub wasn't busy at all so kinda thought we had a fair chance of getting a decent meal. Sausages mushrooms black pudding tomato and the pancakes all over cooked. The eggs were well cooked as was the bacon. Nothing on any of the plates was hot warm but definitely not hot. Also the coffee was very bitter. I'd visit again but not for breakfast

Great service having only book in late morning for links market day. Staff very knowledgible and helpful. Contented throughout meal without being in your face. Food 3 starters very tasty. 6 mains all very good especially prawn salad. Poor selection of sweets but we didnt go there for that its a grill diner.$ adults 2 children and bill was £80 very reasonable for such good food.

Must admit, was slightly concerned it was a Wetherspoons equivalent but we were very pleasantly surprised by the food and service. Meals were very tasty and freshly made. I even ordered the wrong meal for my 5 year old and the waitress was happy to correct it for us. It was my fault so they didn't have to do that. Very pleasantly surprised

Having been before and enjoyed this visit was disappointing. The breakfast has changed and was very poor. The bacon was dire, egg was meant to have a hard yolk was very soft. And don't know what butter they use but I couldn't eat it at all. Don't think I'll be rushing back here anytime soon

Food was great, the staff were very polite and friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere. Definitely be back.

Came in for a little Monday evening dinner with my sister, friendly welcome from staff, food good and the service we received from Connor was outstanding, he went above and beyond to ensure we had a very enjoyable and pleasant experience, we will definitely be back!

Come with me if you want to live. Some things are just better of dead.Upon entering building there is no staff to welcome you so why they are in business beats me. Apparently if you want something best head to the bar as staff are often too busy to deal with diners. Given you do want to eat you are told casually 'just sit where you like'. Drinks are then ordered which tends to take forever. Food quality and portions don't even live up to standards and you'll wonder why you even bothered in the first place. Staff in themselves are the most rudest and unpleasant staff I have ever met.Don't even think staff can be bothered bringing the bill to your table. Time is far too valuable.So O'Connells has been targeted for termination.Unlike Arnie I WON'T BE BACK.Scott Rolland

Birthday lunch. Haddock and chips with salad. Average fare but served piping hot. Bonuses - freshly made tartar sauce and large lemon slice. Toilet facilities leave a lot to be desired - major upgrade needed. Also reviewed under O'Connell's - it's the same place tripadvisor!

Me and my wife had an excellent lunch here on Sunday dinner time and to say we were taken back by the servings would be an under statement. We really injoyed our meal would highly recommend it to anyone we had taken some photos of the partly eaten meal oh my Lord did we injoy it.

Food was good, Large menu to choose from tables a little sticky The food is presented well, portions are large, service was good, overall a nice place to have lunch

Just had my first Christmas dinner away from home what a total dissapointment. Plastic turkey and a complete lack of food in general. I have eaten here several times before only to find the Christmas meal rushed and a complete waste of time...

We booked as a large group, who then had even more people turn up unexpectedly. The staff were very accommodating offering us a larger table and it didn't phase them at all. I had the fajitas and they tasted amazing, from a table of 10 everyone really enjoyed their food and there were no complaints. The service was great, and prices very reasonable. Will be back.

Visited here on a Sunday afternoon, the place was pretty quiet. I had a chicken burger which was yummy (definitely recommend) and my friend had pasta.Oconnells was nice and clean and the service and food was great.Definitely recommend for a fast service lunch and great food :)

The two times I've been to Oconnells recently have been for lunch; and the burgers have been second to none in Kirkcaldy. The setting and service are both good too - I'll continue to come back here!

We were both down the High Street in Kirkcaldy and fancied a quick lunch. We'd been to O'Connells before and it had been good. It still is.The venue is very nice, an old converted church, formerly a nightclub as well however the large space is still cozy and welcoming. The staff are friendly and efficient.Seated right away, drinks came quick. Nice selection of pub favourites and for steak lovers there is a choice of both sirloin or rib eye (the latter, in my opinion, being better). Food is reasonably priced and was well presented. Everything was delicious and will definitely return again.

Not great... used to be superb with great value for money and a lovely cooked breakfast. Went for the first time since it changed and it's not great. Not as good a choice, costs more but not the quality it used to have. Would go elsewhere for breakfast.

The new management that have taken over do not know what they are doing and have taken what used to be an amazing bar and restaurant, and turned it into a place I would not return too. The food was stale and the full breakfast and eggs Benedict can be done better. The food was either undercooked with the eggs benedict or overcooked with the full breakfast. So all in all, the food is not good and overpriced, especially as most of the food tasted like cheap items (bacon, sausage and potato scones).The staff were lovely and agreed with some of the same complaints that me and my family were saying. But would not return until they get this sorted and get it back up to where they used to be.

Had the steak sandwich with mustard Mayo.Looked great, meat was nice was filling good presentation in the crate it was served in nice staff and basically a nice visit, will defo be going back when in the area.

Have been here many times now and am never disappointed. The staff go the extra mile and the menu changes at lunch time giving you a greater selection. The breakfast menu is fantastic too. Great place to have a catch up with friends. Love the booths.

It's a nice venue, made out of an old church, looks like it's been done up recently.They do a breakfast 'til 12 o'clock which is great for a bit of hairy dog action. We sat out the back in the sun. It was a bit like eating in a bus shelter, could have done with being swept clean from the night before but this is Kirkcaldy not Marseilles!

Lovely food, (like American style)nice for just drinks to dance floor free at night. staff are very friendly nice clean bar

Enjoyed a great pizza and my partner had a pulled pork burger, both great. Good choice of drinks and pleasant staff. Would recommend for a family or friend lunch. Will definitely return.

Was here again on Saturday with my mum, had the steak and onion ciabatta roll with fries and white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake, was delicious. Was my mums first time here and she loved it too. many thanks

Tried this place for some drinks before going on to our restaraunt.The bar was very nice inside and the atmosphere was good.After our meal we returned here for more drinks and there was a DJ playing music,also had a dance floor which was good so had a dance before retiring for the night.Will return again.

My sister arranged a surprise 40th wedding anniversary for my husband and I. She had contacted the pub in advance and asked if she could hand in balloons, banners and a cake they said that wouldn't be a problem it would be on the on the table for us arriving.We arrived 15 mins early, there was no table ready for us it just got worse as the afternoon went on.It was a set menu that they insisted that we took. Ok we don't all eat 3 courses but it was easier for the kitchen they said, after we had our 1st course we waited nearly 45 minutes before anyone' came and took our order for the 2nd course, nearly an hour went past when my brother had to ask for the dishes to be cleared away, she then lifted the menus as well I said we haven't been offered a sweet. The service was pretty grim. I wouldn't recommend anyone goes there for a meal.My hubby and I was in for drinks on sat afternoon 5th March We had to wait 15 minutes to get served at the bar despite it being empty. The reputation of this bar is going downhill rapidly I know of a few people that won't be back including myself.

This place has got a lot better, and it was good to start with, 9 items cooked breakfast at £5.95 is great value for money, but all hot etc, staff friendly and attentive, but allow you to have natter etc , recommended

Last Friday of each month you can get a 2 course meal and a cocktail for under £12 - 21 of us booked last Friday and everyone really enjoyed their food choices and it went like clockwork - the cosmos were awesome ! Great place for a night out

Have eaten here for quite a few years and always found the food to be consistent. I like the nice salad garnish which comes with the starters as it's always fresh and interesting.However, after my last meal there I will not be going back, ever.I have been a vegetarian for 35 years. I ate bacon at O'Connell's because they mixed up the order and gave me something which had bacon hidden under some cheese. Unfortunately because I was also eating something with hot chilli in it I didn't notice until I had actually swallowed it.I'm sure that anyone who is vegetarian will understand that this is a mistake which a restaurant should not make. If I had a food allergy and they made a mistake with something like prawns a death could occur because of their mistake.A suggestion for O'Connell's - why don't you put all vegetarian and gluten free food on a different shaped plate from the foods containing meat etc? Easy solution and even when your staff are busy they shouldn't find this too onerous!

We decided to try the newly refurbished Oconnells for a lunch, and we were not disappointed. The main seating area has been reversed, with a bright bar where the cubicles used to be and a small performance area where the bar used to be. There was plenty of seating to choose from, although some of it was very close to the bar, a possible access problem on a busy night. We went for the £8.95 deal for 2 courses, of which there was plenty of choice. It took a little while for our order to be taken, the reason being that only one waitress is assigned to this job. However, the meal was served up promptly, with good portions of everything. Would definitely go back.

Was good breakfast before but now....... What a transformation , absolutely brilliant , quality and price , service was great , only let down was my first coffee was lukewarm but next was really hot, 9 item choice for £5.95 , brilliant, I have been to a number of establishments for breakfast and this is by far the best to date , recommended

Food was lovely. Massive helpings and good value for money. Staff very friendly and attentive. Nice big booths and well laid out. We were on a Saturday night and there was also entertainment.

I recently visited this diner with friends and was appalled at the lack of service despite their being plenty staff. I am so glad they were slow to serve or we may have ordered another soft drink and at two pound for a glass of soda and blackcurrant. DAYLIGHT robbery - none of us will be back.

The actual meal was well presented on the plate, good quality and very tasty. This was the only plus side. No condiments on the table, therefore, had to request ketchup. On second asking also requested salt. Was eventually presented with ketchup and pepper. On completion of meal plates were removed, no offer of dessert, tea or coffee was made. Sitting in the front area of the restaurant felt like the neglected area. Staff under trained. No mature service personnel in charge. All in all a bad experience.

We went for lunch with friends. We all had black pudding starter and rib eye steaks. All the food supplied by Puddledub and the buffalo farm. The steak was one of the tastiest and most tender steaks I have tasted. Nice surroundings, lovely helpful staff, tasty food and reasonably priced. What more can anyone ask for? Definitely worth a visit, I'll certainly be back

Maybe I got in this pub in the wrong day and I should give it a second chance but my first experience was not positive unfortunately.Asked for a beer the waitress asked me which one and unfortunately I asked which one the pub was offering and almost annoyed she pointed the bar saying that they were over there. I then stood up to go and see.Food was average my hamburger was ok but struggled to finish.Maybe it was just a bad day..

I popped in here for lunch today. Food was mediocre, service seemed warm until .. I sat drinking their overpriced drinks and went to the bathroom. I was in there for a whole 2 minutes and when I came back to my table, my drink was gone so I went to the bar and was told simply *Sorry, we're closed, please vacate the premises* I just asked what the ... had a look around, everyone was gone ..... *yes we close at this time everyday, bye.* Looked at my watch .. 4:10pm .....Never, ever, ever, ever going back there.My drink was half full ..... no warning, nothing. So cold.The building is nice though, despite the staff and their attitudes. It's a converted church.

We have visited this restaurant a few times, and I don't know why I haven't reviewed it before now. The staff are always friendly and helpful, but the menu, while somewhat limited compared to their places, is definitely good value for money. We have never struggled to find anything, and have always been impressed by the portions served.

Food was superb. Excellent value for money. Only had main courses and they were very generous portions that left everybody sated.Initial attitude of staff was not great. We had booked a table for 5 adults but actually ended up being 6. When advised waitress of this she did not look pleased and was reluctant to give us a bigger table. Which was a surprise given there were only 2 other tables occupied. However, as time passed her attitude did mellow somewhat and she actually smiled. I just hope they don't rely on tips.

i went out for a meal with a good friend to O'connells in the High Street Kirkcaldy on Thursday the 16th April and I have to say that it was a very enjoyable visit.The staff were pleasant and efficient and I ordered a baked potatoe with Chilli filling and the potatoe and the filling was huge and very delicious and we finnished off our meal with a lovely dessert. I would recommend a visit to Oconnells and hope that you also would experience the good food and service which we were offered on our visit.

My friend & I had lunch here & I must say that everything was spot on. Polite, cheerful staff, prompt service & very nice food. Having just walked out of an alternative pub in the town because it had none of the above, it was like night & day. I've been here a couple of times before, & it was as good then too. Thank you.

O'Connells is one of those places that you often forget about - however it is worth a visit.Have been 3 times since November and never disapointed. Burgers are good as is chicken and pasta options. Decent enough menu, good portion sizes, at very good prices. Never had starter or dessert - tend always just to have a main meal. Find the service very good in here! My review is based on what we got for the price we paid.

What a great bargain the girlie nights on the last Friday of every month are! £10 for dinner, a cocktail and a fun tiara, as well as a live band. You really can't go wrong!We organised this as a staff night out and had a hoot. It's a cheap and cheerful night, great fun, great atmosphere, great cocktails. Food pretty good, not the best I've had, but hey at this price for a whole event, I was thrilled :-)

Went for lunch with my daughter Saturday 23 of August.Arrived around 12.30 and place was nearly empty.We were going to give it a miss and look for somewhere that was a bit busier but decided to give it a try.My daughter had a cheese and bacon Panini with Hand Cut chips which were very tasty.I had Chicken Ceasar Salad which was nice and fresh with a tasty enough dressing and a good helping of well cooked and moist breast of chicken.Food was ok, but nothing special, no complaints.Service was good, but I put that down to lack of customers.Waitresses were mannerly and good humoured and lunch arrived ten minutes after ordering.Restaurant was tidy but like another venue I was in recently, the furniture was in poor condition.I can understand in such austere time as these that the operators of these eateries can do without more expense.But! when the leather seating is in a state like O` Connells, it stands out like a sore thumb.The decor in this venue is very plain and I like what they have done with the original church windows and mezzanine floor but the furniture debases the whole image.Finally, went to pay at the counter as we could not see any floor or bar staff in the service area. The two waitresses were out at the rear of the premises blethering to some guys having a fag. Took around 7 or 8 minutes to get their attention.Was charged £12.75 for 2 mains, 1 pint of Caledonian Ale and a soft drink.Wow Dennis! thats great value for money.................Kitchen Designer.

Went has a large group they catered well. Staff were very friendly. Food portions were huge but only downside they only had choice of two deserts and it was only early afternoon and even then thud didn't have enough as there was large groupOf us soWe didn't end getting any.

3 courses for £10 !Lovely hot food served promptly by attentive friendly staff, brill choices.Sit indoors at booths or tables or like me outside on a lovely wee terrace in the sun with an apple vodka :-)Family friendly too.

O'Connells is good for large groups, they handle big bookings very well and offer good competitive pricing, The food itself is OK, better than many other bar/club food places around the high street. It's not brilliant, but I've never had a 'bad' meal here.
