Visited again recently after visiting the local church (across the street) and having a blood donation. I figured what better way to replenish iron, protein, and nutrients than a pint and burger. Sat at a small table in the back room and service was great as always. This place has always been a legit Irish pub and the owners and staff are amazing. They were also just voted best burger in Queens. I ordered a Guinness and the BBQ'n Beyond. The burger was cooked a little more than I had hoped (mid-well instead of medium), but was still very flavorful along with the fries (potato wedges). I will always visit when in the area.

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.

It's unacceptable that I haven't reviewed Donovan's until now. It's such a neighborhood gem. Having spent a good chunk of my life in the Boston area, I'm no stranger to great Irish pubs, and Donovan's is way up there in terms of food and overall vibe. Aside from the exceptional burgers, they have delicious comfort food like biscuit chicken pot pie, shepherd's pie, mac 'n' cheese, etc. They also have an extensive brunch menu with (of course) a tasty Irish breakfast platter. The staff members are great and always seem to have a good sense of humor. It's a fun time!

Local haunt that's been around for generations! It's the kind of place where everyone at the bar turns to look whenever walks in through the front door. But don't be intimidated, because the staff here are very accommodating. We were a party of 8 showing up for dinner on a Tuesday night. Service was prompt and friendly, and the food was decent. We had a little bit of all the bar classes: burgers, wings, potato skins, mac & cheese, and shepherd's pie. Everything was very tasty. Nice beer selection too.

My adventure buddy and I ended up in Woodside for July 4th, and given that we aren't in the area often, thought it was the perfect opportunity to cross Donovan's Pub off the list! We opted to split a PB & WOW! burger, which seemed to be a new menu addition. It's a classic Donovan burger, topped with peanut butter, chipotle mayo, bacon, cheddar, and pickles... don't knock it till you try it, because it was delicious! The chipotle mayo paired with peanut butter was a deliciously savory top for the burger and paired well with the bacon. Not too many places have a PB burger, so I'm always excited to try it. Shoestring fries were cooked fresh and not overly salty.. we appreciated this because it allowed us to salt it to taste. Service was a little slow, it took about 20 minutes to get the beer we ordered.. but all in all, they were nice. We are likely to return next time we are in the area!

I have been coming here since the 1970's and the burgers never disappoint. Great atmosphere, service and beer! Still not a fan of the pseudo streak fries so I get the Onion Rings.

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.

Established in 1966, Donovan's Pub is a staple restaurant and bar in Woodside. I enjoyed one of their many burger options - the Bacon Cheeseburger. The bacon portion size was fantastic! Plenty of bacon for bacon lovers like myself. My burger cooked medium-well was still juicy and melted in my mouth with every bite. My aide of fries were delicious too - sort of like steak fries but better! I paired my burger with the Bells or Bella IPA beer, I forget the name of it, but it was delicious and not too bitter. Have to say the beer was also mouthwatering. Our server was from Ireland and her accent was on point. She was genuinely Irish and very sweet to us. Plenty of seating inside and the bar has lots of stools too! Have to say it was a lovely experience and will definitely be back again! Great work Donovan's team!
