The best restaurants in Killybegs

20/08/2025: I had fish box yesterday 19th August and chips were nice but cod batter was undercooked and not nice so I was very disappointed as I travelled from Fermanagh to get a taste of your fish box. Sorry I won't be back

18/08/2025: Our first visit to Killybegs over the weekend and our first visit to the Killybegs Seafood Shack, we came across their FB page and the food looked amazing, so with idle time on our hands we travelled the 2hour drive for food. To be honest we were quite disappointed to say the least, we ordered two Haddock and chips and a small can of coke for a total price of €32.00, some might say that was an alright price but what we received did not reflect on the photos of the food that you served when you were trading on the street, the fish was excellent, but portion size was very very small, the chips were of poor quality and again portion size was very very small. Introduce larger portions of fish and proper home cooked chips, add another euro to both and you will be heading in the right direction, I don't mind paying for food, but somebody was taking the pi*s last Sunday. Finally, your location is perfect, although you could maybe have somebody clean down the tables before the next customer is seated, also, the courtyard, it had a lot of food on the ground amongst the weeds, perhaps this could be addressed, it would also be nice if staff could perhaps call around to the tables and see if all was ok with customers. Sorry for long and rambling rant, but after travelling a 4 hour round trip and end up disappointed I think I am entitled to it.

08/08/2025: Went there for the acclaimed seafood chowder. Had to wait for 25 minutes for it to be served to us. It was nice but lacked fish, lots of vegetables but not a single piece of salmon or haddock on my plate. A bit disappointed. Nice place, was very busy which I suppose is a nice thing.

07/08/2025: I never normally write reviews for restaurants but felt compelled to do so on this occasion. We went for a late meal and they squeezed us in with no reservation. The food was incredible! Clearly a very talented chef and team in the kitchen. Our meals were fresh, beautifully cooked and well seasoned, and our desserts were delicious too! We’ve been on holiday in Ireland for almost a week and, even though we’ve eaten really well, this was by far the best meal we’ve had so far. And the chef coming out to talk to us at the end of our meal to check if everything was OK was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend 🙂
