O'Gara's at the Fair — Restaurant in Falcon Heights

The lady who served us around 7:53 PM 08/22/2024 at the end of the left cash register was very rude and disrespectful to us. She gave exceptional services to the customer before us and after us. We thought we would have that same service but instead, she decided that it was more important to talk to her coworkers about her Jean size and new tank tops she got. We waited 5 minutes for her to finish her conversation and then she decided to serve us when it was convient to her. After seeing that we were not WHITE (it's diabolical for me to pull the race card) she gave us the cold shoulder and no customer service whatsoever.

I came back explained my dissatisfaction to which she explained that "drinks should have two to three inches of foam". I explained to her "that's not what I saw from the other customer she served before and after us". Our drinks we under the blue line of the Treasurer Island cups that were served.

To which, she gave us wrong drinks, poured the drinks back down the tap and then gave us our drinks to which I had to double check with her. She was rude and disrespectful, and a place like O'Gara's that disrespects people of color like us should not be here. I do not recommend coming here if an Irish restaurant has racist individual's who choose which colors deserves the best service. Especially with the attitude she proceed to provide us with knowingling she was in the wrong. Also, serving as a new food item, I would assume that they would like to make connection with new customers. With the food not being up to par and customer service, I advise those of color not to come here as their cashiers appreciate those of the same color as...

The Pot o’ Gold Potato Dumplings were one of the highlights of my 2025 Minnesota State Fair experience. I ended up going back a second time to get more, and I wish I could have them in the freezer to make year round. Ordering early in the morning saved the concern of any wait on my initial visit, and returning at a busier time still didn’t have to wait to order or for the food to go out. An excellent and efficient...

2024: O'Gara's Walking Shepherd's Pie at this year's Minnesota State Fair was a decent, but not outstanding, option. The idea of portable shepherd's pie was certainly appealing, and the flaky, buttery pastry lived up to the hype. Sadly, the filling itself was a bit bland.

If you were looking for a convenient and filling snack to enjoy while exploring the fair, this was a decent choice. Just don't expect an...
