O'Brien's Social Bar & Kitchen — Restaurant in Charlottetown

One of my worst dining experiences. Party of 6, noon on a Monday. 5/6 ordered drinks, only one of which was an alcoholic beverage and it took 13mins to receive our drinks. Ordered our mains - I ordered the Steak Sandwich, medium rare, and it came out just over 1/4” thick, didn’t take up the bun, open-faced and topped with straight-from-the-fridge cold Carmelized onions. When our waitress set it down I asked where the top half of my bun was and she said it was served open-faced and said that on the menu (I double checked… I certainly did not.) and then as she went to get me my top bun I touched the onions which is when I found out the onions were stone cold. She said they are supposed to be that way. Never have I ever read a menu that says Carmelized onions on a steak sandwich and expected them to be chilled… I was met with nothing but attitude from the waitress when I asked for them to be heated and have a top bun for my sandwich and when I got it back from the kitchen it was clear my plate just sat there with the fries under a heater and they just tossed the steak and onions in the microwave. She insisted again, with attitude, the menu states open-faced (it does not) and said again that many restaurants serve cold Carmelized onions on their sandwiches (I am a cook and have never encountered this before anywhere). My steak was a very well done piece of leather with microwaved onions on a damp garlic ciabatta bun with Luke warm fries. I was incredibly disappointed. My Dad also asked for no Dijon and yellow mustard instead and received Dijon and had to ask again for yellow. No one in my party was pleased with their food.

Never returning....

Had the special (southwest wrap and sweet potato fries with chipotle aoili dip, coleslaw, drink included) which is $9. I wasn't sure what to expect at such a cheap price, but the wrap was delicious and the sweet potato fries were excellent. The waitstaff was very friendly, service was very fast. We only waited a few minutes for food.

The people i was with had the breakfast (two eggs, your choice of 2 sausage, 3 bacon strips or 2 slices of ham, home fries and toast) which they raved about. Breakfast is served all day as well.

If you're looking for fancy, go elsewhere. For great food at an amazing...

We arrived on a Saturday night without a reservation. They were very busy. The manager seated us and when we mentioned it was our first time there, she took the time to explain how everything at the racetrack and restaurant worked. We were very appreciative that she took the time to do this knowing how busy they were. The service overall was very good. The food was also good. My husband had a burger and I had the beef dip sandwich. Both meals were enjoyable. We only stayed for a couple of races but it was entertaining. We will definitely go back to try other menu items and watch more...
