Rory met us when we arrived and we were seated and served in decent time considering it was a very busy Saturday night. The food was excellent and the noise was quite loud but we could still talk and it added to the atmosphere.

LOVE this place! Awesome burgers, ice cold Harp on tap, and full of Irish charm and humor.
Listen you pre-diabetics and diabetics. Stop killing yourselves. Come to this restaurant and have their amazing salmon. ZERO CARBS! AND it comes with cauliflower rice. OMG I asked for it without the chili sauce. They gave me something better. A lemony dill sauce on the side. But this salmon didn't need any sauce. Plus it had crispy skin. These Irish people know how to cook salmon. Last Thursday I got the prime rib. Yum. Oh - best of all are the mini raisin soda breads in the bread basket. I sent it back to be heated up. Don't most people prefer bread warmed or is it just me? Anyway, this place is great. I'll be coming here every week.from now on!
As one of their signs say "Welcome" and it goes above and beyond that. The energy and atmosphere is amazing from its food to staff and the cuisine.<br><br>We were even greeted and welcomed by the owner, the one and only Rory who shook our hands, welcomed us and thank us for our patronage. In my 40 years of being on this earth, I never had that experience and can't thank you enough sir!
This is a great Irish bar that captures the Irish spirit in food and drinks. The staff is very good serving people. The customers are friendly and are enjoying Rory Dolans.
Love Rory's!<br><br>The ambiance here and the environment is very relaxing and calming. They have a spacious bar and restaurant area, that is conveniently located on McLean Ave. It is a lively space but the decor and dark wood make it seem more like a historic location.<br><br>I came here for a work event and order the chicken tender and fries. It came out very quickly, even though the bar and restaurant was packed. My food was hot and fresh. I would definitely order this again.<br><br>Can't wait to stop back in.
Great location, food, atmosphere and staff, a good back to, time and time again!
We had a great time good food and drinks our group came in a bit larger than expected and the staff was able to accommodate all 19. Rory always the Gentleman came by and said hello
Been going to Rory’s since 2021 when I worked at a Bar around the area! It never disappoints!! Hours are great and service is always great as well. Now when it comes to the food!!! Yum yum it never disappoints!!! Food is fresh and always comes out hot 10/10 place .
The best Irish Pub that I have been to! The staff and clients are exceptional and friendly. The first time I was there it was like I have been visiting for years!
One of my absolute favorite restaurants!<br>My family and I have been coming to Rory’s for the past five years, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious — from the mouthwatering entrées to the amazing desserts and drinks. And let me tell you, hands down the BEST lamb chops I've ever had! 🤤<br>We’ll always keep coming back. If you’ve never been, do yourself a favor and give Rory’s a try. You won’t be disappointed!
Amazing experience here! The food was so, so delicious and the service and atmosphere were splendid as well. The dessert in particular blew our minds!! It was great meeting Rory. We will certainly be coming back!
We ate here earlier this afternoon. The place was extremely. Being that this was our 1st time visiting, we waited at the door for a couple minutes for a hostess to be seated. We were unsure if it was seat yourself or not. However, you must go in a few feet more right past the bar area & you'll see the hostess stand. The staff we encountered were friendly. Management even walked around greeting and checking on patrons.<br><br>The atmosphere is very loud & noisy but nice. If you're looking for quiet and subtle then maybe this is not the place for you. We ate light but the food we ordered everyome stated they enjoyed their dish. Spicy buffalo wings were quite tasty. I hate bleu cheese. However, their bleu cheese doesn't taste like traditional bleu cheese & was very good. My mom ordered the house salad with vinegarette dressing and stated it was pretty good. I ordered the french toast, potatoes and bacon from the late night menu a side of Irish sausage and scrambled eggs.<br><br>The reason for the 4 stars on service is because it took a long time for a couple of the beverages. Initially and refill. Specially the unsweetened tea. It came from the bar area so I'm unsure if this was the reason for the delay. We were finished eating by the time the refill came.<br><br>According to the menu they're open to 3a.m. (unsure if this is every night). Would definitely visit the establishment again if we're ever in the area.
This is my favorite spot in Yonkers. The first time I came here was 20 years ago and it’s only gotten better every year. The management is from Ireland 🇮🇪 The atmosphere and decor is inspired from the Ire. The food is delicious. I recommend the short ribs - yum. Also don’t forget their dessert display - also yum. Have a great visit.
It was nice, the atmosphere was great and the food was good as well. We started with appetizers. My boyfriend ordered the calamari and I ordered the spinach and artichoke dip. Both were really good. The calamari was really good seasoned and the spinach and artichoke was nice and cheesy. Then I ordered the grilled fish with lemon butter sauce asparagus and mashed potatoes. It was delicious, the sauce complimented the dish so well that everything was great. He had fish and chips, it was good he said just a bit greasy for his liking but he said it was still good. Now the dessert. The dessert was top notch to be honest. My apple crumb cake was so good soft and it just melted in your mouth it was one of the best crumb cakes I ever tasted. My boyfriend apple pie he said it was amazing. He loved it and definitely a winner. So overall great and the owner spoke to us and we was really nice and welcoming thank you.
