Our story

O'Neill's Grill is a locally-owned restaurant in Harrisonburg, Virginia. We've been passionate about being a place where our community can gather for homemade eats and cold drinks for more than 15 years.

We proudly serve fresh (never frozen) meals with local ingredients. Most people in town know us for our famous Cookie Skillet, but we serve up a lot more than dessert!

 

We smoke our BBQ in house, age and hand cut our steaks, grill burgers bursting with flavor (especially the 'Burg's Original 50/50 Bacon Burger), and toss our famous chicken Thumbs & Toes in homemade sauces. Don't eat meat? We've got you covered with gluten-free salads and more! And if you belly up to the bar, you'll see 26 beers on tap, wines and cocktails – many of them local.

 

We've got more than delicious food. We've got heart. We gladly support our community with fundraisers, donations, and complimentary catering. We sponsor JMUSports, Harrisonburg sports teams, and other organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters and Project Healing Waters. Our owners are enthusiastic about helping and serving our community. When you dine in, you're likely to see Tim or Mo catching up with guests.

 

Besides our diverse menu choices, guests have their choice of 40+ TVs with all the best in sports programming (including JMU games), but don't label us as a sports bar. O'Neill's Grill is a place to watch the game with your buds, eat dinner out with the family on Monday for Kid's Night, or catch up with a friend after work. 

 

When you dine at our restaurant, we hope you enjoy great food, good times, and better laughs. As always, we're glad you're here.
