We weren’t sure whether to go in at first because of some mixed reviews, but we’re really glad we did. The owner greeted us outside and was so friendly that we decided to give it a try, and it turned out to be a great choice. We were a big group with some older people and he kindly opened a quieter dining room for us in Jack’s Bar, away from the main bar area, which made everything much more comfortable. It also seems that Jack’s Bar and The Lough Avoul are under the same ownership. The food was delicious, the portions were generous and the prices very reasonable, and the service was warm and attentive throughout. Overall a really lovely experience, we would definitely come back and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Glengarriff!

We were approached by the owner outside the restaurant and lured inside. However, the menu actually appealed to us, so we decided to go in and sat outside.
The food, we had the catch of the day, was delicious. The service from the owner's wife seemed a bit rushed and odd at first, as our order was taken quite quickly. On the plus side, she was friendly later on and checked in to make sure everything was alright. The other waitress, on the other hand, was very nice.
Unfortunately, the owner himself came across as rather unfriendly and somewhat gruff. As mentioned in other reviews, he approaches many passersby trying to persuade them to come inside. After he drove off, however, we were able to enjoy our meal in peace.
It was somewhat surprising that only cash payments were accepted, even though a card reader was clearly visible in the restaurant.
Overall, the food was very good and the experience pleasant. We would have had an even better impression if it weren't for the owner's somewhat unusual manner.

Fabulous lunch today at Jack’s. The lobster fresh from Dingle was outstanding and the monk fish was delicious! Friendly service. We came in as tourists but Jimmy and his staff made us feel like family. Be sure to check out the homemade chocolates!

Didn`t partake of the food as I had already eaten, but the fare seemed to be of a high standard. Just dropped in to have a drink before the return to Cork.
