Friel's of Straffan in

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Consistently Excellent — A Must-Visit Spot Just Outside Straffan, Clane, and Maynooth! Popped in today for a quick coffee and meal, and yet again, this place proves why it's a local favorite. Food came out fast — almost surprisingly quick — but still fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. Staff are genuinely friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which makes all the difference. Prices are very fair for the quality you're getting. Parking can get a little tight in the front (a sign they're popular!), but there's plenty of extra space out back if you swing around. Location-wise, it’s a perfect pitstop — a few minutes' drive from Straffan, Clane, and Maynooth — ideal for a relaxed Sunday dinner or a casual midweek meal. Not my first visit here, and without a doubt, it won’t be my last. Highly recommend if you're in the area — or even if you're not, it’s worth the short drive!

Great place for a lunch i had Chicken vol vent and it was delicious with a large helping.

High quality food , extremely good prices. Staff lovely. Made a huge fuss with the kids and helped to mark a birthday for a thrilled 10 year old. Will be back.

Every time I was here I feel brilliant 👏 😌

Really nice with definitely call again soon.

Superb friendly place to grab a pint and a very kid friendly menu. The service is what is really stand-out. They are so accommodating!

It was perfect for the occasion. I was meeting a budget & wanted somewhere quite so it was perfect. The food was like ho E fr he which was excellent and the service was prompt and friendly So overall, a lovely experience 😊

I’ve eaten here many times over the period of the past 2 years. I have never been here and had an experience where I would give any less than 11/10. The food is top notch, really fresh, consistent and big servings for what you pay. The service is A1, all of the staff are so lovely, friendly and attentive no matter how busy they are. We have 2 kids and they’re always so nice to them and treat them with so much love and attention. The restaurants and toilets have been spotless each time we’ve been here. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I spent the evening with my Finnish family, and the restaurant, food and staff were the most loveliest. They had all sorts of dishes and they were able to even cater to my vegan desires, even though the standard menu they gave us didn't have any vegan options. I can highly recommend the restaurant/pub to anyone visiting the region, be they vegan or not. The vegan dish I had was tomato pasta with veggies and it was amazingly delicious, definitely worth the five stars, and the other dishes my family ordered (steak and fish and chips) were absolutely fabulous as well. The staff was lovely as well and I felt like we were being taken care of by mother figures, very lovely and warming experience. If you're in the region, the place is a must see and experience. Well worth the visit, and on top of that, very low prices!

The fish with potatoes was really good and the service was quick and to the point.
