The best restaurants in Dublin

16/11/2025: Ordered chicken tenders and fries. The chicken tenders were the smallest I’ve ever seen, and the fries were cooked fresh, but no good. Overall, not worth the high price.

09/11/2025: Way too expensive for the portion size. Maybe an expensive, upscale restaurant can get away with that. But not a diner that only sells regular burgers. €14 for a Double Smash Burger without a drink or fries, which is comparable in size to a Double Cheeseburger from McDonald's. To be fair, the burgers here are really good – but that's where the positives end. You can get the fries anywhere. There's nothing special about them to justify the price. The boneless wings are a joke. The server tried to talk to us as little as possible and just mumbled quietly to herself. We really had high hopes because of the nice atmosphere, but it was a complete flop. This is the first time I've agreed 100% with all the other reviews.

19/11/2025: Dirty old place, inside and out.. stinks of urine

16/11/2025: Had gone to this bar when it was under a different name and it was nice then. However, when I and my partner entered the bar this evening, another customer immediately stood in front of me and said "there's only a certain amount of gay people allowed in". We didn't react to it and disappointingly the staff member at the bar said nothing, and I would find it difficult to imagine they didn't hear it given how loud the man was. Given this and the fact that we thought the place had a very bad odour of urine and was playing really bad music on a TV set instead of a speaker we decided to leave.

10/11/2025: All the staff was fine bar the young lady there, my husband and i noticed she kept staring at him (its normal for people in customer service to watch out for customers but this was overdone while completely disregarding my existence) and kept trying to speak to him (for example waiting for us to leave before asking him personal information), this made us both uncomfortable

24/10/2025: Great food for the price! Pork and potato was delicious. And the restaurant is located on the 3rd floor with a great view of Stephens Green Park. Highly recommend if you're looking to get full without paying outrageous Dublin restaurant prices.

05/11/2025: Missing items in delivery, say they’ll call you back and then ignore you. Shite place

30/10/2025: Food is bang average. €18 for a spice bag with 4 pieces of chicken & an egg fried rice. Took 80 minutes to be delivered and was barely warm to touch. Standard has fallen off a cliff as of late.

20/10/2025: Went here on 19th of October, asked for a large cappuccino for myself and a small cappuccino for my partner and she was given her cappuccino in a plastic smoothie cup with a straw. The plastic cup began to melt and deform and the paper straw melted in her coffee. The coffee was scolding and it took about 10-15 minutes for it to melt cool enough to drink but by that stage I had to drink it quickly. Anyone thinking of stopping here for a coffee there are many better coffee shops within walking distance of this place.

20/10/2025: Ordered a small cappuccino and got boiling coffee served in a plastic smoothie cup with a paper straw-a combo I didn’t know I needed till the cup started melting in my hand. Went back just asking for a paper cup (not a refund, not a fight), but got served a side of attitude instead of an apology. If you’re after good coffee and kindness, look elsewhere. But if “melting cup meets bad mood café” sounds like your vibe, this is your place! ☕🔥

16/04/2025: Refrain from ordering from this establishment. This online ordering operates as a fraudulent scheme. Upon placing an order, they falsely claim that communication has been unsuccessful and that delivery is not possible. Furthermore, they fail to provide a refund, demonstrating a complete lack of professionalism and customer service.

21/03/2025: I don't know why is such a problem for this - and specificly for this - shop to send plain burger if I ordered so? And also female Indian drivier is giving three to four phone calls unable to deliver to the doors.

02/04/2025: I ordered philiez cheese hero (steak) along with chicken wings spice box and extra sauce. When I received ordered , half of my steak roll was missing, chicken wings with so called spice box looked expired and reheated up with fries and there were no peppers no seasoning no nothing . I called the restaurant to fix it and that man on the phone did not even know what he is talking about then he said he is gonna let the manager know about the issue and will call back right away. 40 minutes later i’m calling again and again and they are not answering any of my calls including the delivery driver. What a disaster you people are. Worst customer service ever

11/02/2025: Ordered food it came late and was freezing cold couldn’t eat a thing it went straight in the bin I rang to complain and they told me to contact just eat don’t waste your time or your money

07/10/2025: Terrible service. The staff was rude and clearly didn’t want to be there. No respect, no smile, no effort at all. It completely ruins the experience and makes you never want to eat there again.

05/10/2025: closing time coming up at 9:00 pm just went there the subway guy said its close now. at 8:36 pm they stopped selling

16/08/2025: I was surprised by the reviews, the food isn't the worst about this place, but let's not talk about Service. Staff completely overwhelmed with 5 orders. Whole Ordering System crashing down (I feel so sorry for the staff. This place isn't run professionally), orders getting lost, having to shut down the whole restaurant. And please do not expect "fast" food. A burger and fries took more than 30 minutes.

29/03/2025: People were so rude and the food was so scabby too overall bad experience and I regret spending money here

07/11/2025: I was drunk and didn’t even enjoy the food. If you want a last resort Chinese maybe you’ll half enjoy it but we ordered a 4in1 and chow mein both were shocking. Chicken was stringy tasted like it was cooked a month ago, curry sauce was somehow dry, rice was like coconut if you like that you’ll enjoy the rice. Chips were the only half decent thing we got. Just make decent food if this was my local I’d be fair sad

07/11/2025: Horrendous 4 and 1, Chicken was the worst thing I ever ate, must of been fake chicken. The curry was dry. The chips were ok. Barely any rice in the portion. Never again will I have food here.

17/11/2025: Even though Subway has frequent gloves change policy in place, never seen it with (apologies in advance) with a specific Asian country staffs, they use the same gloves do every other works, even do the till and never seen changing it. The civic sense never really kicked in. Apart form there if you go and see other locations where the service teams are non specific asian ones, its al hygienic and well organised. This is the reality and I am too an Asian. It's all about the civic sense.

10/06/2025: You pay the same no matter whether you order a combo or not. Depends on who is working that day. Sanjana's the best there!

11/12/2025: food had to be microwaved when it arrived because it was cold ( i live 5 mins away) ordered spicebag, house chow mein, and kids meal, complete waste of €47,curry sauce was busted over everything spice bag had 5 scauldy pieces of chicken everything was cold,bland and and pure oily, normally wouldn’t give a review but thanh cong is gone to the dogs

02/09/2025: I’d skip this place at all cost! Never received order, just very disappointed with this place and seems to be a problem each time I order. -1 customer 👎🏻

23/06/2025: Tasteless food, avoid. Staff was very rude as well. Not recommended at all.

13/04/2025: never tasted something so lacking flavour before. ‘mexican rice’ was undercooked and had no taste. medium salsa was just chopped up tomato. the guy who works there was kind

02/08/2025: misleading products/drinks names and prices

03/05/2025: Fresh Food and Friendly Faces but Let Down by the Plates I visited O’Briens Café in Jervis Shopping Centre with my son early on a Saturday morning. It was one of the very few places open and serving food at 10.30am, which was a real bonus when everything else was still closed. The convenience alone makes it worth considering if you are in the area early. The sandwiches were genuinely tasty. The bread was fresh and clearly good quality, and the ingredients felt well chosen and nicely balanced. What really stood out though was the staff. The two team members on duty were warm, welcoming, and seemed genuinely happy to serve us. That kind of positive attitude makes a big difference and gave the place a bright, upbeat feel from the moment we arrived. However, there was one detail that did take away from the overall experience. The sandwiches were served on basic plastic plates, which felt out of place given the price. It gave the meal a slightly disposable, rushed feel that didn't match the quality of the food or the care put into service. I understand it is part of a food hall setting, but a switch to proper crockery would go a long way in elevating the overall experience and better justifying the cost. In the end, O’Briens offered a quick and satisfying bite with genuinely fresh ingredients and excellent service. A small change in presentation could easily turn a good visit into a great one.
