Been a few times now and loved it everytime. The food is amazing. Nice buzz in the place, the staff really know what they are doing and great value on top of that.looking forward to going back.

Booked The Grill Shack for my wife's birthday as we wanted a change from the usual pub/bistro options around Kildare. From start to finish, the experience exceeded expectations. We had a group of 7 adults and a child—booking was hassle-free and they were happy to accommodate us. The location is quite remote, nestled in a quiet farmyard setting, but that only adds to its charm. There's plenty of parking, and as you approach the restaurant, the rustic, modern steakhouse aesthetic really sets the tone—think “shack,” but stylish and spotless. Upon entry, we were greeted by the chef himself, who was upbeat and clearly passionate about what he does. The open kitchen right at the front was a nice touch. A young and friendly waitress showed us to a spacious, semi-private seating area—perfect for our group, especially with a very active toddler in tow. Service was quick and efficient. Drinks arrived within five minutes, and our orders were taken shortly after. I started with the hot chicken wings—flavorful and well-cooked, though I personally would've liked a bit more heat. (They do offer a spicier version, which I’d try next time.) The mains arrived in about 20 minutes. Most of us went for the steaks, which were served rare on hot stones—allowing everyone to cook them exactly how they liked. It was a fun and interactive touch that added to the experience. We also enjoyed a good variety of drinks, which the restaurant offers in abundance. We brought our own birthday cake, which the staff kindly presented while singing “Happy Birthday”—a lovely and personal gesture that meant a lot. The bill came to around €306 for 4 starters, 6 mains, 1 child’s meal, multiple rounds of drinks, and some ice cream, which I found very fair considering the generous portions and high quality of the food. All in all, The Grill Shack is a diamond in the countryside. Warm, welcoming staff, great food, and a unique setting that makes it stand out. We’ll definitely be back.

Niamh was our server today. She was absolutely brilliant. In fact all the staff are brilliant that served us. Aiden is a master in the kitchen. Wish we lived closer so we could come here more often. You are made to feel welcome from the minute you walk through the door by Kilian and the food is 10 out of 10.

Been here a few times and it is consistently very good! We’ve sat in a few times, but we usually collect food for takeaway. Both are very good and the staff are always friendly

This place is fab for a full dinner out or when grabbing a quick bite. We received a super cheerful greeting coming through the door and the staff were so friendly and full of chat. The food was out in no time and it was really good. We brought sauces home and will absolutely be returning!

Amazing atmosphere and staff and food was lovely, especially wings and pulled pork.

Friendly and helpful staff, excellent food and would definitely recommend. First time and will definitely be back.

We had a delicious steak with some sides. Unfortunately, the deserts are not the best ones. Good for the people with pets. They have an special room for them.

Delicious food and very friendly service.
