The best restaurants in Carlow

18/03/2026: Tables a mess and not enough staff to cope at busy times, wish the would pay staff more !!

15/03/2026: Worker with long blonde hair was very unhygenic while preparing food. I seen him once with his finger in his nose and then wiping it into his shirt. He also appeared very rude giving customers dirty looks and what liked him talking bad about customers to other employees. I told him to cheer up abit and his expression immediatly changed and told me to go away. I did not eat my food as what I witnessed made me feel sick which resulted me having to go buy food from the food place beside.

16/11/2025: First time getting food amd last time , whats the point of putting notes on if they can't read english

02/08/2025: Had a take away and although it took a little longer than estimated. It was definitely worth the wait. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted deliciously authentic! Definitely recommend Will eat in next time...

29/09/2025: Great apartments, friendly pub and the owner is helpful with food options and taxi service.

18/09/2025: Great experience. Matty was great and welcoming. He recommended a great local restaurant to eat dinner. Nice kitchen, beautiful new tiled bathroom with shower. The only minor issue was the bed footboard stuck out (we keep running into the corners).

29/08/2025: Very welcoming traditional Irish pub

04/06/2025: Just an excellent spot. Staff are absolutely fantastic also and the drink is always nice here 👍

08/06/2026: Always Fast, efficient and tasty food. Enjoyed many pizza's and chicken kebabs. Chips are good too. Can eat in.

15/05/2026: I asked for no salad on my food and was still giving this is the second time when people don't put it on there order u don't put it on food is always nice to eat but when it's destroyed in shit u can't eat it's horrible another 20 odd quid down the drain

12/04/2026: We didn’t stay at the hotel, only dined in the restaurant. Overall, the food was quite good—typical of Irish restaurants. The steak was excellent and the staff were very friendly. There was a mistake with our order, though, and the pizza arrived much later. They apologized a lot for it, which we appreciated, and remained very kind throughout. The wine wasn’t great and was quite expensive, but the steak was fantastic.

05/04/2026: Beautiful place, lovely food. I would recommend it for any party large or small.

09/06/2026: You have to order from the self-service machines. The self service machines have faulty card terminals, so it tells you to pay at the counter instead. Counter staff tell you they don't take payment, so you either have to try a different self-service machine and hope that one works or, as I did, just leave and go somewhere where they're able to do something as basic as take payment 😒

06/06/2026: Loved it But there is never no toilet roll and you have to be 6 stone light to fit in the toilets

26/10/2025: Had my son's 21st birthday in the barracks we would highly recommend the staff were absolutely brilliant couldn't ask for better had a great nite.

18/08/2025: We recently celebrated my twin daughters’ 18th at The Barracks, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible effort of Joanne Aaron and their team. As I wasn’t able to be there, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, to arranging balloons, bringing out the cake and candles, and making the girls feel so special and welcomed. A big thank you also to the DJ for the birthday announcements through out the night which added such a lovely touch to the night. Joanne and her team truly went the extra mile, and thanks to them, my daughters had an unforgettable celebration. Thank you so much to everyone at The Barracks, you made it a truly special night that we’ll always remember!

16/06/2026: Great pint of Guinness. Huge space out the back.

01/12/2025: Always had great food in there, will be missed😞

22/11/2025: Incredible service I was shocked by the fact they were closing down I really hope this doesn't come to fruition the customer service was elite. Big Respect 💪😀

10/04/2026: Overpriced (was 20 euro for a burger). always has loud kids or screaming babies in the restaurant (somehow even on weekdays during lunchtime) The staff are pleasent though, and the music selection *thing* at every table is a nice touch Would recommend if you dont mind pricey food and loud noises, but its not for me

07/04/2026: Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! The pictures speak for themselves. Taste-wise, 10/10!!!

24/05/2026: Had a great night with the lads.

11/05/2026: I came across this restaurant by chance and was amazed by the beauty and decor of the restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised by the menu and the friendliness of the staff. In my travels through Ireland, whenever I am near Carlow I will not hesitate to serve something at The Terrace. I recommend it with confidence. Thank you to the staff
