    When reviewing I try to compare establishments that are comparable or within the same type class.  John O'bryan's Tavern is just as the name suggests.  It is a small beer joint that has a loyal local clientele.   With that being said...we couldn't have felt more welcome than if we had been true blue regulars.
    Found it on Yelp looking for a place to get fish.  Chosen because of some of the positive reviews.  Enjoyed because of the laid back friendly atmosphere to accompany a good hand breaded fish sandwich.
    No fountain sodas but you choose from the selection of the day in the standing glass-front cooler.  My dining partner said his coleslaw wasn't cold and that was a concern for him.  I ordered extra crinkle fries instead of slaw and they were cooked just right.
    I really have to give the wait staff a high five for keeping up since there was a high spirited group of 14 who were there to eat and entertain themselves and others with Karaoke.  
    It was nice to find another place to grab some tasty fish besides the go to, long lines of M.Lng's

    The cash only place is grim. The carry out fish sandwiches/sides are very good but WAY
    overpriced. $7.00 for onion rings? Not worth it.

    I work in the salon across the street.. everybody's been talking about their fish sandwich.. for $7.95 you get a huge helping of fish and 4 pieces of bread!!! I had to hurry to write this review because it's awesome!! Even me picking it up.. the atmosphere is EVERYTHING! Please go and get the fish!!!

    My mom introduced me to this place. Her coworkers use to frequent this bar and on Fridays would bring in fish for everyone at her job. When I tell you this is the best fish I have ever had in my life ! It is perfectly seasoned and you get huge pieces. I went into the location a couple of times to get a to go order. It is a simple bar. Nothing spectacular and it's small. Not gonna lie, my spider senses did alert when I walked into the establishment, just because it looked like a place that catered to locals and I definitely felt like an outsider...With that being said, the bar tenders that I interacted with on both visits, were extremely nice and helpful. I felt like the patriots looked at me like, who is she, but even they smiled and spoke. This made me feel a little more comfortable. I did wait in my vehicle for my order to be ready which took less than 10mins. But I will go here again and again for that fish! Yum! Note, they only except cash  so stop by ATM on your way. They may have one at the location, I didn't pay attention.
