Tom Kelly’s Chophouse and Pub

Tried it because I got a Groupon.
The food was good, very different kinds of burgers (meatloaf burger, ruben burger).
Tasted like they were cooked over a wood fire, which was very nice.
The place is definatly a sports bar, so bring the kiddies before 8pm.
Only low point was the margarita pizza. It was very greasy and had no fresh basil. The crust was tasty, but the grease was too much.

1^st time at Tom Kelly’s and I can’t wait to return, great food, cold beer, friendly fast service. Great place to watch a game. Burgers are awesome!

We thought we were having a nice dinner. We had a coupon for $ 10 off if you spend $ 40. We were almost double that and they would not take our coupon. Because it cannot be combined with their «house» specials. Crazy. Not going back. Everyday they have drink and dinner specials. I think it should not be combined with any other discounts like groupon, or coupons. We left all the money for the full bill and a nice tip for our nice waitress on the table. Then when we were walking out the manager accused us of walking out on our bill. I was very insulted. Tom Kelly’s needs, a new manager.

The only Irish bar I ever went to that I ordered a pint of Guinness and got it served in a 12 ounce glass and was told that was a pint

We enjoyed their Weds night special of burgers and Lagunitas IPAs. Nice service, nice variety of specials.

Great food, good prices, good beer menu, and good bar tenders. Great atmosphere as well.

This place is interesting. Food is good, I’ll give them that. Service is hit or miss unfortunately. Went in on a Sunday night, place was dead, as was the staff apparently. One waiter for five tables and he couldn’t remember if he asked if we wanted more drinks or not. No busboys so the waiters are doing that job on top of their own. Then we had a coupon which apparently you can’t use on the daily specials because they are a promotion. I don’t think we’ll be back anytime soon.

How long have you owned this bar? Your response to my post refers to recent bears games. As I stated, haven’t been back in years

The food was good. Service was great. Selection wasn’t too big, but overall a good outing.

PROS: The atmosphere is warm and friendly, the wine is delicious, the food is hearty, and the prices are reasonable.
CONS: parking is limited

We haven’t been to Tom Kelly’s in quite some time bs went tonight since I used to love their Ruben. They changed this or menu and cut down on many items. Our waitress was sweet but not very good. She forgot to put our order in, came and told us after about 20mins of waiting. When we finally got our food it was so different than it once was, my Reuben was about half the size and not one marble rye like it was prior. My husband got the club and it was seriously like a mini sandwich, like something you should of received 3 of in an app. Everything else was mediocre. They defiantly are going a cheap route and you can notice it. The waitress didn’t take anything off our bill for our long wait and seemed to be very overwhelmed with the few tables she had. Probably not going back

Good place. Average prices. The food is pretty good.

I’ve been here a few times on the weekends strictly to drink. No complaints. Standard pricing, good service, good size location. It can get pretty crowded though. Came here a few weeks ago to have some drinks and decided to order some food. I’m not sure if it was the booze speaking, but the pizza was amazing! Can’t wait to go back and try it again-​sober.

Lots of beers and excellent food. The Guinness Burger is out of this world. Basically so is the rest of the menu. Prices are reasonable for this nice of a place. The owners are present pretty much everything I’ve been there and Tom greets me and my friends and remembers us from our previous visits. They have special events from time to time as Well. A must stop place to go before or after a movie at the nearby theatre

St Paddys night at TomKellys excellent food, atmosphere, music. service great. Samantha, our waitress top shelf on top of all her tables. Will certainly return.

Came here for after work drinks. Plenty of space at the bar. However, if you’re going to market yourself as an Irish pub, learn how to property pour a proper pint of Guinness! I was a tad disappointed in the appetizer as well. Portions were small!

Was here for the first time last night. The place was nearly full. Good sign but not sure because it is so close to the theater. We only had time for a few apps as we are trying to get to the show. We sat at the bar and the service was good. The décor of the place is better than your average bar for sure, nice actually.
As I said we only had a short time so we tried the wings and chicken quesadilla both of which were pretty good. I would try this place again to get a real feel for what the food is. What we saw going by looked very good and portions were good as well it seemed. Not sure I will drive out of my way to do it but would try here again if going to the show.

There’s really nothing special about this pub. The ambiance was bizarre. Irish décor with music varying from Sarah Mclaughlin to 90’s dance. The TV’S had Disney movies and sports with no subtitles. Our waitress was friendly, but slow. It was not a busy night so there’s really no excuse for that. I ordered a cheeseburger and it was just a cheeseburger. Nothing remarkable. The fries were good though. Very flaky and crispy, but fluffy on the inside. I wouldn’t say that I wouldn’t return here again, but there’s nothing that really stood out to me to make me come back or go out of my way. Just a mediocre experience overall.

Had a quick dinner to go tonight. Ordered the Guiness stew with brisket, AMAZING, as always.
Highlight of the evening: Samantha the bartender was fast, very nice and was nice enough to hand stuff some Blue cheese olives for me… TWICE! That is what I call going the extra mile! Also made one helluva great dirty martini!
Thanks again!

I met up with about 8 old high school girls here on a Monday night. Most of us have not seen each other in TWENTY years! It was my first time at this place and I have to say it’s pretty nice. It’s kind of hidden so if you don’t know the area it can be a little confusing.
I walked in and right away thought wow NICE place! I loved the high ceiling over the bar area and the simple yet cute décor.
They have a pretty good size menu. They even have Bison burgers! Yum! I had to pass on it THIS time but will try on my next visit. I ended up ordering a chicken wrap that was huge so I took half home. Everyone’s food looked really good.
Drink specials on a Monday were $ 2.00 Skittle shots, $ 3.00 (?) domestic draft and $ 5.00 Long Islands. I tried the raspberry long island and it was SO good. I did not know there were flavored ones! Where have I been??? :)
Our young waiter (Johnny I believe) was a blast! He put up with all of our humor and joked right back with was fun. He was very understanding on the oh so annoying separate bills request. Thank you! :)
I hear they have a D. J on the weekends which is cool. I will go back next time we have a get together or the next time I find myself out in New Lenox.
Cheers!!!
