Reviews For Shawn O'Donnell's American Grill and Irish Pub

It looks really nice inside. It has an old European atmosphere. The menu is traditional and has some great American and Irish dishes to choose from. I like it but it is extremely busy on the weekend so try to make reservations.

From the second we walked in we knew our meal was going to be something to remember. The interior feels like a true european pub and there are so many tables you wont have a hard time getting right in, except maybe on st patricks day. It was restaurant week so i got a three course meal with clam chowder, corned beef/cabbage, and a homemade brownie. Every bite was delicious and left me wanting more. I will be returning next time i find myself in Spokane.

This food is yummy. Prices are great, drinks you'll want another. The service is excellent and it's just comfortable. Enjoy, relax, make some new friends. A must see in my opinion.

I love this classic style pub. Went with the fish and chips lunch special and while it was good, I should have gone for the shepard's pie. I prefer beer batter on cod and this was a crunchy batter, but still really good. And of course you can't forget the Guiness! I like the designs they put in the foam. I'll be back!

We are consistently impressed with the food, service, and atmosphere, but I've also spoken with one of the managers about quality, prices and supply chain disruptions. The food has remained excellent, and the approach has been to continue providing regionally-sourced fare and keep prices as stable as possible. Thus far they've done a fantastic job and it is greatly appreciated. Shawn's is a great place to have a quiet lunch, or good conversation with the staff and customers any given day. Thanks Guys for being here!

This was an excellent choice for my DoorDash. The food was of quality and I'd definitely recommend this place. I ordered the pudding bread, fish and chips, box thingies and the rueben Sammy. All of it aside from the boxy things were AMAZING!! I'm not really sure what the box things were but I thought I'd try them. Maybe they just aren't my thing. But again, amazing choice!! I was just driving through but I really want it all again!!
