Kirbys of Cross Street in Galway

Went here for our anniversary. Food, service and atmosphere was excellent. Highly recommended.

Day trip to Galway on a rainy Sunday… We found Kirby’s due to its good reviews on here - good to know the process works. Being located just off the main thoroughfare we were concerned it could be packed. However, we discovered the restaurant side of the venue was surprisingly not so busy. Decisions quickly made we settled on a high top table with a good vantage point to watch the comings and goings of Galway. My chums ordered pints of ‘The Black Stuff’ and the beef and Guinness slow cooked stew - after all we are in Ireland. Whilst I opted for a veggie option of chickpea burger and ‘secret sauce’ ! Although looking back I’m sure they needn’t be that secretive ;-) . The stew and the Guinness were triumphant!!! Consumed in silence - always a good sign! My burger was… well a veggie burger albeit well cooked could have done with a little more of a kick plus the serve of fries we thought a little meagre. On our departure we discovered a lovely band had begun to play on the other side of the bar and some guests started to dance, seemed like a superlative way to enjoy the rainy afternoon. The team are super friendly and obliging although the gents toilet could do with a good scour and a little love. Contented we headed back out into Galway ready for the afternoon’s adventures. Thank you

My mother’s last name is Kirby, and so as we were walking by we knew this was a must! Let me tell you, this was definitely the best meal of the trip! The steak was PERFECTLY cooked, and the salmon was SO MOIST. We were in awe while eating, worth every penny! Highly recommended!

Ordered the seafood platter. Was really nice :)

One of those spontaneous choices that turned out to be absolutely delightful. We had no booking and the place was buzzing, but luckily, we got a table for three. The triple trio seafood was full of flavour, and the lemon butter sauce added just the right touch. The lamb steak was beautifully done—so juicy and tender. The vegetables were fresh and full of taste, not just on the plate for show. Our son’s cod and chips were golden and crisp, and he enjoyed every bite. We really loved the whole experience. Next time we are in Galway, this will definitely be our go-to spot for dinner.

Had fabulous meal excellent menu choice and all our group was impressed, paired with excellent service - will be back. No additional costs for sides and great wine list.

Great place, I had the fish platter of the day (seafood trio) and it was excellent!! The cheese and charcuterie platter is large and very good. We loved our evening. The drinks are good. Almost no tables available for walk-ins, so reserved

Excellent meal here in Galway! The oysters, the Gilligan's Ribeye Burger were so good! Cocktails were great as well.

Teníamos una reserva de grupo para 94 personas y habíamos acordado tener un menú fijo para todos. El personal era muy amable y a pesar de la gran cantidad en el grupo la comida fue servida muy eficientemente. Los comentarios de todos los que viajaron han sido muy positivos.

Es un restaurante muy agradable y a mí y a mi familia nos gusta mucho. Kirby es un gran restaurante de cinco estrellas bien hecho
