Burgerstory in Galway

06/01/2026: First impressions: My Girlfriend and I had dinner in Beef and Lobster whilst I visited Galway. On entering the property the restaurant wasn't exactly stand out in terms of décor, its very basic. Service: I made a reservation online using the website for 18:00. Upon arrival we were greeted promptly and shown to our table which was ready for us. Once sat, we were offered the drinks menu and offered a bottle of water for the table. Although not on the menu we opted for a mocktail "pornstar Martini" as the waitress suggested they could accommodate that. Service, food and drink delivery was very prompt. Food: Drink: We both opted for the "pornstar martini" mocktail which Looked great on arrival, garnished with a passionfruit. It was a good mocktail, close to the real thing, but more like just a passionfruit drink instead of a passion fruit martini, It lacked any vanilla. Starters: For starter we had the Pork belly and the surf and turf tacos. The pork was cooked well and tasted delicious paired with the accompanying sauce. The surf and turf tacos, although presentation was a little underwhelming tasted really good. Mains: For main course we ordered a 16oz bone in ribeye and a surf and turf with prawns. The 16oz ribeye was ordered rare, it arrive well cooked however the quality of the meat was not great, very tough and difficult to cut even with a steak knife. The striploin served with the surf and turf however was a beautiful piece of meat, cooked perfectly rare. a nice serving of prawns in garlic butter to accompany, not to my tasting however my girlfriend enjoyed them. For sides we opted for three for 15.75 : rocket salad with balsamic and parmesan - good sized portion and tasted great garlic baguette - baguette was sliced and covered in garlic, however the slices were not opened and garlic inside, it was mainly over the top of the baguette which was disappointing, and parmesan and truffle fries - crispy fries and tasted good. Deserts: Atmosphere: The restaurant was quite with a few tables around. the décor was underwhelming and not really inspiring. there seemed to be no real theme to the restaurant décor. On a Friday night there was no real atmosphere, it felt less like a restaurant and more like a café people were grabbing a quick bite. Final notes: I'm glad I have tried it, it wasn't bad, however I probably wont rush back as I'm sure there are better steak options elsewhere in the area.

03/01/2026: It left something to be desired… the taste was there, but the portions were lacking. You'll have to pay €6 to have fries on your side. The final bill was high. On the other hand, the build-your-own cheesecake was fantastic.
