Shawn O'Donnell's American Grill & Irish Pub

A lot of restaurants talk a big game about being a "family" place, but you can take that idea a little more literally with the new Shawn O'Donnell's which opened late 2019 in the historic former home of Milford's Fish House on North Monroe. The corned beef and cabbage is a popular item, and the fish and chips (available in two to four pieces) is the best seller, made with wild-caught cod and hand-breaded daily. There's a wide array of burgers and traditional Irish entrees like shepherd's pie, as well as not-so-traditional items like an Irish whiskey mac and cheese and an Irish meatloaf made with ground lamb, beef and bacon. On weekdays, lunch specials for $10 will get you a choice of Guinness beef stew, shepherd's pie, a Reuben sandwich, chicken pot pie or two-piece fish and chips. The bar features no less than 18 Irish whiskeys, including flights of three half-ounce pours for $12, as well as several Scotch options, American whiskeys and beers on tap.
