Pretty cool Pub, nice atmosphere and service was really nice. Everyone is really friendly. Loved the assortment of imported beer 🍺. 20 different types of hamburgers 🍔 . The ones we ordered were pretty good, nachos 😋 delicious, French fries 🍟 cheese and gravy are really good, stuffed mushrooms 🍄 are super juicy 😋 and delicious. Really enjoyed the place and food. Prices are reasonable, oh and the guy singing was pretty good 👍. Definitely recommend this spot, they even sang happy birthday 🎂 to our friend and sister as it was their birthday. Great overall experience 👌

First of all Coming in feels homey and welcoming I order the woodsider which is sharp cheddar and bacon but I added grilled onions which took it to another level! But the steak fries stole the show for me a light crisp with a light buttery inside which I love! Definitely will be back!

Go here. Great staff and even better food. The burgers are fantastic and cooked perfectly and the choices alone of toppings and different combinations are great. Unique place that does things the right way. Best burgers in Queens not only for the quality of the food but the choices, competent staff, good vibes and good company.

The owners are amazing very conscientious very relaxed, vibe amazing fried chicken fingers and even better grilled chicken Caesar salad. Beverages are always ice cold lots of cool events throughout the week a great place. Fish and chips are the real deal

HIGHLY RECOMMEND, we went on a Monday for Lunch. They had a fireplace going on in the dining area which cozied up the place, it was quiet. Mary Anne is really sweet, the food was fantastic. We ordered the French onion soup, bacon cheese burger and onion rings. The burger was tender and had such a bite. The onion rings were really crunchy and had a sizable onion. And the French onion soup was a staple to warm you right up in the winter. Everything plus two soft drinks cost us $45 not including tip.

Hidden gem within Queens with one of the best burgers I’ve had in the NYC area. The service was okay. The drinks were strong but refreshing.The shepherds pie was savory, rich and full of flavor. The burger by far was one of the top 3 burgers I’ve had to mind. The burger was juicy and perfectly seasoned. Along with egg each bite was so satisfying.

Damn good burger traditional burger. It is quite pricey, but it does come with a hunk of meat that's like an inch thick. It's cooked really well when medium rare--extremely soft and tender with a good beefy taste. The buns are quite standard and it comes with a hunk of lettuce. It only comes with like 4 or 5 onion rings but they are HUGE. Unfortunately, it's a lot more batter than onion, but it's still quite good since it's nice and soft with a good bite. Service is quick and friendly despite being very busy on a lovely weekend evening! The ambience is very lively and cheerful, adding to the entire experience.

This is a perfect pub/restaurant! It was our first time here, and I only heard good things from a close friend. I started with a proper poured Guinness! We both got cheeseburgers, steak fries, and a side of onion rings. The burgers were cooked perfectly, juicy and delicious! The steak fries were also perfect! The onion rings were the best I have ever had! Heavily battered and cooked to perfection, they were a meal on their own! We finished with an ice cream sundae that hit the spot! The server was great. She was very friendly with a lovely Irish brogue. The prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this place! We can not wait to go back!

It's one of those spots that has been doing it right for many years. A lot of people from queens talk about this being one of the best burgers in queens . I'd have to agree. But not just in queens . It's truly a delicious burger. The fries and onion rings are superior. All of the food here is on point . The drinks are good .the selection even better. The services is direct and to the point . A true neighborhood spot. Put it on your list of places to visit.

Definitely lived up to the social media hype and no doubt best tavern burger in Queens. One can choose any burger on their extensive burger menu with a side of fries or onion rings for less than 20 bucks, it’s a deal I’m willing to sign up for every day. We went on a Thursday late afternoon and place was energetic and lively, just what you expect from a well-known busy tavern. I can only imagine what it’s like on weekends when they have live band. Donovan’s is the real deal.

Went recently for the first time with a friend and I got a bacon cheeseburger and she got the shepherds pie. The much lauded burger was good—the patty was clearly high quality —but it was overall a little underseasoned for my taste. My friend got the Shepherds pie and it was excellent . The service and space are also fantastic . I will absolutely come back!

Classic pub, family friendly. Great vibe. Awesome burgers. I have to confess that's why we went. Christmastime meal with 2 generations of gents. The dining room was filled with couples, families and a few single dinners. The Guinness was great and the burger was excellent. The fish and chips was perfect. The fish and batter were off the charts. I can't even tell you about the chips the fish was so good. I forgot all about them . We had a table for six. Very comfortable, easy to have great conversation. Happy new year, so glad I took the drive to Woodside.

Ranked best burger in queens so I wanted to see what the hype was about. It was definitely a solid burger but I fear the chatter about them losing the it factor may be true. It wasn't the BEST burger l've had but definitely up there. The mozzarella sticks were yummy. The pretzel was also pretty special (if it were the thing I was eating at a baseball game). Service was friendly and attentive despite it being decently busy. There’s ample seating in both a dining room and bar area. It’s not too noisy on the weekday we went. They do show sports on the TVs if that’s what you’re into!

The Guinness is good and the atmosphere is unique, but I honestly don’t understand why their burger is so popular. Jackson Hole’s burger is much better. And their service is slow

This place is going to be celebrating its 60th birthday soon. Great little Irish pub known for its burgers. Definitely a great place to stop in and check out

came here for the "best burger in queens" and while it did not live up to the hype it was a solid burger. good boneless wings and the chicken in gravy also very tasty. service was fantastic. great environment. still maintains the feel it's had all these years which I am grateful for.

This place really did not meet my expectations. During the beginning of the meal it was perfect, I got my mozzarella sticks with no problem. But after that it went downhill. First of all, the waitress was very slow, took really long to get my entree and the check. Secondly, the burger I ordered which was the Wisconsin burger did not have the proper side, I asked for onion rings and they instead gave me steak fries. On top of that, the bottom bun of the burger gave out, making it difficult and messy to eat my burger. Im surprised and shocked because Donovan's is usually better than this. Please learn from these mistakes.

I live in NJ and from time to time I like to visit Donovan's pub for a few beers and also because they have the best pub food in queens . Specially their garlic Parmesan wings . \n\nHowever I must …

My sister and I went this Friday night, and were promptly seated. We ordered two burgers and I got a cosmo. We waited for so long for our water and eventually the cosmo, which ended up tasting like a lukewarm splash of vodka, a splash of cranberry and water. When I finally got the servers attention, and told her it didn’t taste right, she argued with me that it’s “all alcohol” and that she has cosmos all the time. I guess that’s what I get for ordering a cosmo at an Irish pub, I just expected more since they had a long cocktail menu. I work in the industry myself and I get not being happy to work on a Friday night, but I just feel the team was inadequately equipped for the rush of Friday. I think the hostess over sat the server, who was rushed, the bartender didn’t pay attention to detail, and the bussers didn’t really care about helping their team. When our burgers finally came, the woman running it almost gave it to the people next to us, which is fine just a little off putting. There was no salt pepper or ketchup on our table, so we had to ask the nice people dining next to us since the server was nowhere to be seen. The fries where cold and soggy, the onion rings where pretty much a cold pillow of dough around a flimsy onion, and the burger had a bun that was somehow both stale and soggy. It was also cold, and had no flavor. There was no sauce on it. Overall, does not live up to any hype, and not really a great experience. I’d recommend the lowery down the way for a burger over this place. It could be my sister and I are just not the target demographic. I just thought it was a nice neighborhood place we should try despite the walk from sunnyside, and I wanted to try the “best burger in queens”. Anyway, Im glad others enjoy this place, just not for me!
