O'Farrell Sisters — Restaurant in Okoboji

The place is extremely small. The dining room is smaller than the kitchen so be prepared for long lines and a small dining room. Probably about 10 tables all together inside along with a bar that seats about 7. Also, parking is not the greatest here. They have about 3 or 4 parking spaces in front that were already taken. We had to park down the street and walk back to the restaurant.

We sat at the bar to avoid any more waiting as there was a decent sized line already formed. The front doorway is a bit of a joke as there is also outside seating and we inadvertently got in the way of a waitress bring out drinks for people sitting outside. The door doesn't close automatically so, throughout our meal with the door right next to us, it kept getting left open so the flies started getting a bit overwhelming.

The watress took our order in a timely manner and food came out fairly quick and tasted like a standard diner breakfast. Nothing life changing but was okay. I had the Oscar and my wife had the eggs benedict. We both thought our meals were fine but agreed it was overrated considering the long lines, small dining area for just an okay meal.

Parking wasn't ideal, lines were long and food wasn't exactly life-changing. Probably...

As I walked in, I stood at the "wait to be seated sign" for close to ten minutes. Another party walked in and asked for a table and was immediately given a table while we still waiyed. The waitress was in such a hurry and had a horrible attitude. I and the entire dining patrons listened to her yell at a busboy about cleaning a table properly before he even started cleaning the table. Both of our orders were incorrect, but she did not stop long enough for us to talk to her about it. When she asked us what we wanted to drink, she left before each of us could order a drink. It took 20 minutes to get her to pick up a credit card so we could pay and leave. While we were waiting to pay, several people were waiting at the entrance to get a seat. The food was ok, but the service was horrible. In 90 minutes, of which most was waiting, I got one drink and was never offered a refill. I wanted to ask for a second drink, but she couldn't be bothered to listen to me for the time it took to ask for a refill. This restaurant is on my...

I unfortunately just had a poor experience here. My family and I were excited to try this place. It looked like great food and a fun atmosphere when we walking in. That was as far as the good experience went. The service was slow, which was fine as it seemed like a busy time for breakfast. When we were finally helped, an older woman put our name down to get a table. We went outside to wait, but I was curious if they knew how long the wait would be. I went back in and asked the same woman if she had a timeline for when we could be seated. I was met with a very sharp and crabby response of “there is no timeline” and she shoved her notepad in my face and said “these are the people in front of you.” Then she proceeded to ignore me and move onto other people behind me. I asked her to cancel our name. The people behind us witnessed the interaction and left as well. Good luck to this restaurant. My large extended family and I have vacationed here for decades. I will be sharing my experience and not recommend this...
