Galtee Inn in Cahir

After a long day of travel, we picked this place at random for dinner as they didn't appear to be too busy. The interior is that of an authentic Irish bar. It almost felt like the restaurant part was an afterthought and the focus remained on the bar side. There were plenty of open tables, and the hostess told us to pick a seat wherever we wanted. She had to wipe down the table before we sat as it was sticky. Plenty of flies to go around as well. Our experience with the service was a bit disappointing. Our server told us at the beginning that she never works the evening shift, so she didn't know much about the menu and couldn't answer basic questions, so we had to wing our order. Each time she came back to the table, she mixed up something between my wife and I, like handing us the wrong food or drinks, which in the grand scheme of things was not a big deal but quickly got annoying after it happened every time. For dinner, my wife had the roasted chicken and I had the beef filet. Both were cooked well and had good flavor. For dessert, we tried to order 3 to go but between the server and cook, they could not figure out how to package one of the desserts. The server came back and asked us to change our order, which we did. She then returned with our original order. When it was time to leave, we had to wait at the til for an extended period while they found our server, and she entered our meal into the POS system for payment, during which she continued to struggle. Overall, the food was good, service and atmosphere were not up to par, would probably pass on a return visit.

Our cruise ship tour stopped here after visiting the castle. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The owner was always present, trying to help people, pouring coffee, taking requests, etc. The food was quite good, and the service for 38 people was great, given that we all showed up at the same time. it is right around the corner from the castle in a very good location. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly. It looks to have a very nice bar and plenty of seating, etc…

Fantastic pub/restaurant. Really good food nice service. Place with its own atmosphere.

Our dinner was excellent, I had the short ribs and my husband the steak which was cooked perfectly. The portions are very generous.

Stunning steak dinner from Galtee Inn after a long day in Thomond Park. The owner went above and beyond to get us a dinner just before kitchen closed. The food was plentiful and delicious. Steaks were cooked to perfection. The locals and were friendly and the staff were super attentive. I would 100% recommend stopping in for food or a couple of drinks.

Great surprise in Cahir. Delicious seafood chowder and bread and butter pudding. The service was also excellent. Highly recommend.

What a wonderful spot for lunch before heading to the Rock of Cashel. The Nettle soup was fantastic, as well as the chicken cranberry wrap and a pint of the Whitefield Brewery red ale. A must stop.

I had the chicken supreme and it was yummy

Always a treat to stop here when visiting anyone of the many attractions in the area be it climbing the Galty mountains or walking in Glengara Woods ,the castle or the Swiss cottage. The Welcome in this place is always warm and the food is lovely with a great range for all tastes.

We as a couple have had lunch her for 2 weekday afternoons over the last 2 weeks. The Food is of the highest quality and plentiful in portions. Starters / Dinners / Deserts & Coffee were wonderful. Prices were good for the portions received. Previous reviews mentioned microwaved food - it mustn’t have been working for the 2 visits we made, Keep it up! See you again on Wednesday next. Regards?
