For our marketing team lunch last week, we make the quick trek down Pennsylvania Street to O'Reilly's Irish Bar and Restaurant. This was Abby's first restaurant selection since joining the Compendium team, and she definitely pulled through when the pressure was on!
O'Reilly's fits in well with other Indianapolis pubs, but definitely has it's own feel. It does a great job of combining the atmosphere of an old fashioned pub, with the modern day set-up that sports fanatics and business workers would be looking for.
The menu at this downtown Indianapolis restaurant is also one of their great selling points. They have many different variations of burgers, salads and wraps to choose from, as well as Irish specialties and a group of meals the offer as $5 lunch specials everyday.
For the most part, the portions were generous. Some of the salads were even overflowing off of the plates and I couldn't keep my BBQ sandwich intact because it was so big.
Most of us agreed that the biggest draw-back of the restaurant was the very smokey atmosphere. Also, what seemed to be a refreshing, chilly environment upon first walking into the restaurant turned into an ice-box feeling as we could hardly use our utensils because our hands were shivering due to the frigid temperature.
All in all, if you're looking for Indianapolis lunch restaurants, O'Reilly's possesses plenty favorable characteristics that make it the perfect location, be prepared to wait for a table if you want to eat outside, and bring a jacket if you're not a fan of the cold!

was brutally honest with me when I asked her what she thought of our choice. She said that the service wasn't up to par because it slow and she thought other people got there after us and they were served before us.
along with it, I ordered the fries... oh how i love fries.
just because of the atmosphere. They have several TV's around so if you want to grab the big game of your Alma Mater, or just to watch any game... it's the place to be.
was a little slow for the lunchtime hour (which all of us thought was a bit odd).


a bite to eat in Broad Ripple. I have been there once or twice for lunch and I must say... it is a hidden gem.
worry about stopping by the ATM before you get there becuase they take cash or credit. So the next time you are in Broad Ripple around lunchtime... check out Dagwoods located at 6336 Guilford Avenue right next to Q'Doba and across the street from the fire station.
