O’Shea’s

Not impressed. .came for lunch October 5^th at 12:30 pm. Doors were locked and restaurant was closed even though Unilocal lists their hours as being open Monday thru Saturday from 11 am to 2 am.

We walked around and around and followed the signs and went through like stairs and we couldn’t even find this place so no

O’sheas… Oh gross.
Food was poorly prepared. Sliders are just a frozen burger patty cut into quarters. Wings were overcooked and slathered in mediocre sauces. Menu pricing and quantities for differences between happy hour and standard menu weren’t clean. Every glass we got was delivered in a disgustingly dirty glass. We were overcharged on the bill, to top things off.
Wait staff was friendly, but not the most attentive. The view on the river is also nice.
If you go to O’Sheas, don’t come hungry, order bottled drinks, sit outside, and be patient.

My wife and I were riding our mountain bikes along the paint creek trail and stopped here for a beer. The manager was very friendly and chatted with us. We only had a beer then split, but the weather on the patio was awesome and we had a nice peaceful drink. People around us were eating and their food looked good. I would stop in again for drinks, especially if the weather’s good!

I did love this place. Now I hate it. The worst pizza ever. Seems odd because it was great like a month ago. Not sure what happened but a large was half the size of the pan. It was burnt and drenched in grease and butter. Granted, even a bad pizza is still good pizza for pizza lovers like us. Just the bottom of my list…

Awful, this would get negative stars if possible. This bar is perfectly located off of paint creek trail where I like to bike. Happened to come across this pub after a 20 mile bike ride. Beer was skunky and watered down. Ordered a chicken kabob and was told 15 minutes later that they ran out. Then ordered fried perch which was awful beyond belief. Maybe the fish wasn’t fresh. Waitress was glacier slow and clueless. Needless to say will not visit again.

Great location, right along the Paint Creek river, excellent outdoor patio. Downhill from there. 1) Hamburger took 45 minutes, which is really quite and an achievement considering you can buy a car and sign a mortgage in less time.
2) Hamburger was gray, not like fresh off the grill medium-​well gray, but like frozen mush fresh from the microwave gray. And the consistency of day old mash potatoes. Which is actually an insult to day old mash potatoes.
3) The «ketchup» exploded. Pressurized ketchup? Plus it was pink, not red. And it had white little bead like fish eggs in it. Like a pressurized pink bukakke all over my straight male friend’s face. Which, being a straight male, didn’t go over well.
4) The «chicken» on the chicken wrap was something out of a science fiction horror film. I’ve never put a leather wallet threw a blender, but I’d imagine that’s what it would look/​taste like. To be fair, nobody actually ate the chicken because none of us felt like meeting our health insurance deducible so late in the year. I imagine if you soaked it in mustard and fed it to a pack of starving Ethiopians, the owner might be able to squeeze in a taste test… No promises.
5) The beer was cold and the waitress smoothed everything over with a free round of beers. (pretty sure she wanted the D) Anywho… All was good… then the owner showed up. What a shit show. Hearing his bar sucked in every way conceivable was like a child hearing that Santa isn’t real. Frustration quickly turned into anger then ultimately denial.
Other then all that the place wasn’t half bad.

I’m not usually one to complain. But the owner of this facility is a world class asshole! We had a party of 8 adults and 4 toddlers (who ordered Mac and cheese). It took 45 minutes to get a round of burgers and a couple of pathetic chicken wraps. A nacho came out with 4 pieces of chicken on it and what appeared to be cheese. It was sent right back. My wife refused her food along with several others. After negotiating with the manager that we would only pay for what we ate and the drinks, the owner came out. To keep this review readable, he told all of us that we would either pay for ALL the food or he would call the police (even the food we didn’t even eat). He then proceeded to tell us about the chefs he has on staff. Afterwards he snuck out the back door and left the premise. Leaving his staff to fend for themselves. Food=shit. Service=shit. Owner= local heart doctor charging 13.00 for a chicken wrap I wouldn’t force feed my enemy. If you enjoy taking risks in life, by all means, throw your money on the table and just wait to see what could happen.

A total joke! Food was almost inedible. Salad was brown… the Fish & Chips for $ 14.99’I might add looked like they belonged on a kids meal.
The burger was horrible… some weird color of grey. Not to mention the Chips & Salsa was stale. Have a beer and enjoy the view but for gods sake don’t eat here! Bill $ 75…total joke!

They changed the name to O’Shea’s but it is pretty much the same place as before with the same owner as well. Ribs were good. Turkey burger too. But what puzzles me is the so-​so service and the dive-​mentality of the bar. It smells like a bad dive. It looks like a dive bar. But it sits right on Paint Creek. It has one of the best views in Oakland County and the property is wasted on a dive-​like pub which needs updating so badly. It was Saturday night and the place was practically empty.

This place is now called O’Shea’s. I came here when it was the Lime Light to simply get drinks and watch sports. I though it was great for that and I still think that even with the name and owner change.
The patio area is a great place to sit on a nice day. It is next to the Paint Creek and sometimes ducks will walk by. There are plenty of TVs on the patio as well as inside the bar. As I mentioned before, this place is great for watching sports and drinking alcohol.
What I warn against is getting food here. I’m not a picky eater, but shitty food is shitty food. I got the salmon burger and my friend got mozzarella sticks. I thought the salmon on my burger would be a fillet or maybe breaded, but it wasn’t either. The patty look strange as hell. It looked like they ground up salmon and formed it into a flat round disk shape. It was maybe a quarter inch think and it had prominent edges. It looked like they took their time sculpting it. That’s probably why it took so long for our food to come out! Wtf.
My friend’s mozzarella sticks were weird as well. Some were filled with cheese and some were hollow. What the hell? Why were they hollow? The funny part about the hollow sticks is that when my friend bit into them, the hollow stick wouldn’t crush. They kept their cylindrical shape. What? Why? That’s weird.
I should add that my salmon burger tasted alright, but kinda smelled funny. Not fishy. Something else. Oh well… I didn’t get sick.
So yeah, don’t eat here. The food fucking SUCKS!
Just get a drink, watch sports, and tip well. All will be good.

Came here this past weekend. This place is no longer Limelight, it’s now called O’Shea’s. We have eaten here when it was Limelight and had a lackluster experience, so we thought we would try out O’Shea’s.
The other reviews stated that their service was horrible, and I think the new owners have picked up on that because our service was stellar. There were two servers out on the patio and they were tag-​teaming tables like crazy. We never waited more than 5 minutes for anything.
The patio is absolutely GORGEOUS! The river runs right next to it, making the patio a pretty serene place. Plus there are TVs outside — perfect for watching the Tigers play! The actual place itself is kind of grungy though. The patio needs a good powerwash and they need to clean the cobwebs and the bugs out of the lights. It’s a relatively new place (when it was Limelight even) and it looks like it’s been there for decades. Paint Creek Tavern has a cleaner patio and that’s really saying something because let’s be real… it’s Paint Creek Tavern.
The menu is pretty pitiful though. They have about 20 items and it’s just your typical bar food. Our food came out piping hot and everything tasted really fresh and good. My husband ordered the tuna melt (which I was like… ew tuna? Really?), but the waitress told him that they make it fresh everyday so he ordered it. I had a bite and it was actually very good! It was really fresh tuna, not the can stuff, so I was pretty impressed by that.
I recommend riding your bike here and taking in the river while enjoying a Tiger’s game, a Tuna Melt and a nice cold beer :)

Had enough of this place
I have been coming here for years for dinner. Over the last year the service has become terrible, and on one occasion I had to send back my burned nachos after having to argue about it. My recent (and last) experience involved a long wait time until the food was delivered. The couple next to us got so irritated with their wait they were about to leave when their waitress indicated the food was coming right up. Also, I had asked for the bill and it felt like it took forever. I had to tell my waitress I needed to cash out quickly in an effort to get out of there. It was obvious this request irritated her because she barley spoke to me after that point. I don’t understand how a restaurant business can survive with this type of treatment.

The only thing positive about this place is the beautiful view of Paint Creek if you sit outside. Otherwise this place was awful. When we arrived no one was at the host stand for a good 10 mins. Finally a serve walked by and rudely informed us to seat ourselves. After doing so we waited an additional 10 mins for someone to take our drink order. Everything about this place was slow!
The crowd here was very young. If your a college student, go here! If your over 30, I suggest going somewhere else.

Went there on a Friday evening and they had specials on hamburgers. I tried one and i loved it! Beer was good!
Waiter service was good. Outdoor patio is nice.

I had very bad luck the last time I went here and would probably not go back if I wasn’t with a group that wanted to go. I figured everyone deserves a second chance. Not this place! The best location in Rochester but the worst service in Rochester. Slow service with an arrogant college age girl makes for a bad experience.
1 star just for the location.

I rather spork my eye out then ever go here again. Grease pit, smells like smoke, the food is horrid. And when I asked NO ONIONS the girl just rolled her eyes at me.
NO THANK YOU! ILL PASS!

I recently met up with a group of six other women for an evening out on their patio with drinks and some dinner. I was hoping the bad ratings regarding the slow service were far enough in the past that we wouldn’t have the same experience, but unfortunately, we did. Our waitress was slow to bring drinks, slow to check on us, slow to take plates away… and on top of that, two of us ordered their new BBQ burger, only to get our burgers with no BBQ sauce on them. It was just a plain burger with lettuce, tomato, and a couple of onion rings tossed on it — for $ 8.99. We ended up having our waitress bring us some BBQ sauce and we put it on the burgers ourselves.
My waitress had also indicated to me that my beers were each $ 3, but when I got my bill, they were indeed $ 5 a piece. I asked why, and she said because I had ordered an import; however, I had specifically asked her both times I ordered the beers if they were each $ 3, and she’d said yes. I was not too happy.
I would not return to this bar, nor would I recommend that others go there. They do have a nice patio overlooking the Clinton River, but apart from that, I don’t think there is anything impressive about this place.

I don’t know where to begin with this horrendous night. Our waitress didn’t show up for 20 minutes, took our order, another 10 minutes to bring a pitcher of beer. Another 5 minutes to bring a glass to pour it in and the tonic w/​lime. An hour later, she finally shows up to ask if we’d like another and we ordered another tonic w/​lime. 20 minutes later, no drink. she acknowledges she forgot… and another 20 minutes, she acknowledges she forgot again. 10 minutes after that we got the drink, loaded with 8 lime slices. Did she think that would appease us? By now we’re disgusted and ready to check out, so I asked her to cash us out… 20 minutes later I have to ask the bartender to get our waitress to cash us out because she disappeared again. I told the bartender it’s been the worst service I have ever experienced. When the waitress finally arrived, I told HER too that she was the worst server I’d ever seen. Before I let her leave (I didn’t let her just drop the check there and walk away), I counted out 14 dollars for the 13.25 tab (for a pitcher of beer and two tonic w/​lime drinks) in front of her, so she knew I wasn’t leaving her a tip. The only reason I did leave the 75 cents was because I didn’t want to sit there for another 20 minutes waiting on the change. It would have been understandable if the place was busy, but she (our waitress) spent most of her time standing by the drink station… ignoring us.
I suppose it would have been a better experience with another waitress. I hope she reads this because I usually tip 15% for BAD restaurant service, 30% for good restaurant service and almost 50% for good bar/​drink service. I don’t remember her name, and I know she wasn’t one of the younger servers, but she worked after 9pm on karaōke night (thursday) at the two high-​top tables in front of the karaōke station. I think she needs to find a different job… hopefully not in the service industry.

My neighbor describes the food at Lime Light perfectly; ‘Well, the nachos are decent.” The patio has the best view in the area. The bar is usually filled with the every other seat of single lonely business man or local watching the game. Once the DJ starts you can barely hear yourself think. However, on a hot summer night, the air inside is cold and Oberon is on tap for a $ 6 tall. If it wasn’t for the location, Tigers on tv and Oberon on tap, I probably would not frequent this joint.
