Dannys Irish Pub and Banquet Center - (Near Belleville, IL)

4 /5 Mike Biehl: This quaint Irish bar boasts an outside seating area and full bar. They have a banquet room which from the peering inside the room from the foyer appears to be quite large and would be able to host a good crowd of 50 to 75 people. Their menu is mostly sandwiches and burgers, they have appetizers and i saw a couple steak dinners offered. Their prices are really reasonable. For two people or bill was $27 not including tip. The bar tender was the only server taking care of bar patrons and dining room table patrons. The food was hot when it arrived at our table. We did have an extended wait for our food as our order supposedly wasn’t sent to the kitchen. It wasn’t super busy, so I’m not sure how it didn’t make it to the kitchen. I ordered the patty melt and it was good. I expected the bread to be more toasty, like grill toasted with s little bit of butter. The tots were good and crispy. Overall i would come back and eat here again.

3 /5 Dennis Gomez: Depends on the nights feature. I attended a seniors events with decent music and lots of people. Good drink prices, I did not eat, but friends complained food was cold. I believe there is or was a staffing issue, I had to wait forever to get a beer. But it got better after shift change. I would give it another chance on a different night.

1 /5 Stroer Doug (Utopian Dream): Went on a Sunday, stopped for a quick bit to eat but got trapped for two hours. The Guinness draft tasted off. Based off what all the locals were drinking, Im assuming its not getting used as much. Waited an hour for pork rinds. No seasoning, nothing special. Even longer for the food, burger, which wasnt nothing to brag about. We didnt even finish the food, just wanted to get out at that point. Bar was short staffed, bartender was pleasant, but due to amount of people, couldnt keep up. There was a birthday party there, but I feel like experienced kitchen knows to handle smaller tables even with a large group present. Overall not a pleasant time. Was hoping for a true Irish pub experience. Again lots of older locals, so Im sure they have a reason for coming, but as an outsider stopping in, we wont be back.

4 /5 Dawn Thaler: Large group spaces, family friendly, menu is just the right size and the pizza is definitely top tier. Try the chili! The burgers are so good. Today e have the chicken wrap, cole slaw and cold beer.

2 /5 Ricki Loar: We had high hopes for Danny’s. We stopped there a week before St. Patrick’s day and each ordered the corned beef sandwich. Certainly an Irish pub would have outstanding corned beef—-right? Wrong. As you can see in the pictures, the corned beef was dry, overdone and very fatty. The French fries were hot, but not brown, and at least the ones I tried to eat were raw in the middle. What you can’t see is that both of our sandwiches had 3 slices of corned beef on the sandwich. The sauerkraut tasted like it was from a can. The bread was unevenly grilled/toasted, and burned in one place on my sandwich. I thought that the best part of the sandwich was the 1000 island dressing, also likely from a bottle. We each left 1/2 sandwich and most of our fries on the plate. It is sad that a Diet Pepsi and a glass of water is the best part of the meal.
