Clam chowder was very good, and imI really liked my steak wedge salad but the rest of the party wasn’t that impressed with their food. It’s pretty loud in there but not unexpected for a pub atmosphere.

Great service from our server. awesome for comfort food and a few extras beyond comfort foods. i dont drink, and it was a good place to eat even though its a bar centered place. our humus dish was very good. nice twist with feta on top. cucumber, carrots and naan. we had enough things to dip to actually finish the humus.
tator tots were PERFECTLY CRISPY.
i had a lobster filled haddock.
my wife had salmon. both were quite good, and buttery of course.
price was moderate.
i will go again

Great location and place. Loud after work crowd but not overly crowded. Steak tips were great!

one waitress for lunch? anyway we ordered app set them aside to wait for entries she brought them and without a word took our unfinished appetizer. we were not done with them. my brother didnt finish his mac and cheese. she came and asked how is everything and took his plate of food never asked would you like to take it home or if he was even done with it. she just took it away he didnt even eat 1/2 of it. $80 bucks and most of it was taken away without a word. I wont be going back ever!! Service was so bad I could never recommend this place.

We stay in Boston for first nite every year- and it’s the only restaurant my 11 yr old feels comfortable eating at bc of his allergy to milk and peanuts! They always accommodate Sean! Thank you

It was a nice casual place to have dinner. Food was a little pricy but that’s normal in the city. Overall good experience.

Great atmosphere and food. All around great experience.

Though we were set immediately upon arrive (due to having reservations), the waitstaff was exceptionally disinterested in providing us with a pleasant dining experience. I am aware this is a Pub style atmosphere however she could have graced us with a smile or the occasional stop by to see how everything was. Apparently we seemed "patrons" and she clearly has no clue on how to deal with "patrons"! Very disappointing.

Food was very good, but so loud! impossible to have a conversation .

Service was really slow

Food was great! Waitress was nice but took a while in between checks.

Great dinner - fast service. Table was ready when we arrived (which was a little early). Half the restaurant was closed for a private event so it was a bit noisier than you might expect on a Wednesday evening but the waitress was attentive, the food was delicious, and I'd go back!

Table was ready on time, food was fresh, tasty and hot and the beer was cold!

Food was very mediocre plain boring and uninteresting. Service was worse, had to ask repeatedly for items, never had water refilled.Will not be returning overpriced for everything

We loved the pub atmosphere but the food topped everything! Everyone was very impressed with the food, truly above average. Will be sure to dine there again

Great food, good service, good drinks/tap list. Our only complaint is the desserts are really overpriced for what you get. Got the key lime creme brulee and it was about the equivalent of 4 spoonfuls for $9.

Amazing Clam Chowder and the bartender Jake was amazing!

Only downside was high noise level, but guess that's to be expected with an Irish pub.

We had a fantastic time! Sophie was our Waitress and she was so pleasant and accommodating! Her smile was infectious and she made sure our needs were taken care of! The food was AMAZING! The Farro Salmon was scrumptious! ( I desperately wanted the recipe for the quinoa... they couldn’t give it to me... I understand but I was very disappointed... it was the BEST I’ve ever had! I really would LOVE that recipe! And of course we had dessert... the four of us shared a Bread pudding and an absolutely wonderful chocolate cake! We celebrated our friend’s 50th wedding anniversary and we will always remember this fantastic meal at M.J. O’Connor’s! We will be back!

Came early on a Sunday 11:30 after Downton Abbey event. Basically empty. My daughter's food: wedge salad with steak was just OK. My Rubin was pretty awful. Very, very dry...not much kraut, in fact, had to hunt for it. So dry asked for more dressing to fix it and they charged me for it! I tried to fix their nasty-dry sandwich and they charged me 50cents extra for it. Get real. Might be fun in the evening, but steak clear for lunch. Or bring your own dressing. Although almost empty, too forever to get that dressing.

I was visiting the city of Boston and stayed at the adjoining hotel so went here several times.....everything I had was really good!

Great experience! We were in town for the night and were able to watch the Browns game. They took great care of everybody!

Four of us had lunch here before heading over to the Castle to see The Downton Exhibition. Our waiter was friendly and efficient and was more than happy to give us separate checks. Everyone was happy with their food and it was a fair price (especially for Boston!). We all would like to go there again. The only negative (and it was slight) is that it was rather noisy.

We went to MJs for lunch before a show. It was surprisingly quiet for a noon on a Sunday on a long weekend. It is tough to balance service when it is so quiet but our waitress did a good job of not being ever present nor absent.

For some reason, they serve their sodas completely flat. So if you like normally carbonated sodas, don't order them here.

The food, on the other had, was excellent. The portions are beyond generous and prepared well.

Service was good. Food came out hot and fast. Some items were really good, other items were just "OK". Lobster roll included shells. Waitress seemed pre-occupied. Very casual atmosphere. Not a hot spot, but good if you are looking for a quiet, inexpensive dinner.

My recommendation is for a drink, being in the social mood and maybe watching an event on the TV. Having lunch and being able to have a conversation, I do not recommend M.J. O'Connors . They seat you in the bar area, very noisy, and not a pleasant environment. The "restaurant" section is closed. They did not given a reasonable explanation.

Fresh food- not a white table cloth kind of place. Modeled after a faux Irish pub M.J. O'Connor does a good job with food and basic drinks. Reasonably priced too. Fish was good, our guests liked their entrees and the crab cakes were good also. Service was excellent. I have been there before, and would go again.

I like this place but think it could be so much better. We were there for supper before a show. The place was not crowded. Our server was friendly but at times we couldn't find her. The food is fine but again I think it could be better. I love Irish pubs and their food so I was a little disappointed.

Ate here twice while staying in the hotel. Was typical pub fare. Service was a little slow but other than that everything was satisfactory.

Someone spilled barbecue sauce on the seat and didn't wipe it. It ruined my husbands pants and the manager on duty suggested we go home and clean it with dawn. No attempt to comp our drinks or appetizer. Very bad management style.

Service was on the slow side given we were there on a Tuesday afternoon and there were few tables filled. Didn't seem to have a remarkably "Irish" ambiance or menu, but what we had was good.

We had a nice lunch at M J O'Connors in Boston on Saturday. I liked that there was more than one choice in ciders available. I felt the menu was rather limited but that the items we chose were quite good. The salads were crisp, the entrees were well cooked and presented and the sides were good.

We enjoyed our lunch meal of Baked Cod and Beef Stew...highly recommended

It was a very good evening. Good location and very nice dinner. I really liked it.

Food was meh. Service was meh. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Fine for a quick lunch the hostess might have been having a bad day... waiter Logan was very nice

Would recommend for a quick bite or a beer...
Cauliflower app, and chowder were delicious.
Wedge salad was very poorly presented, Mac & cheese was not very thick and cheesy.
Galway Girl was yummy, blue moon was cloudy.
Service when we were given a new waiter, as our initial waiter was buried, was quite pleasant and efficient.

We made dinner reservations for 10:00pm as there was an option, but they only had a late night menu available by then, which was disappointing.

MJ O’Connors was clean, food was very good, Guinness was cold. We got our table on time. Service was good. I would definitely recommend this.

The food was mediocre at best and the service was poor. We weren't looking for anything elegant or overly expensive. But the experience was not at all what we expected. Would not go again.
