The best restaurants in Dublin

03/07/2026: It was 9 euro for a small box of chips and a bottle of water. Diner vibe was cool but it looked grimy. Service was very quick, probably because it had just been nuked in the microwave. It definitely tasted like it, the chips were like something out of a burger van. Mealy and unpleasant, not to mention a complete rip off. I wouldn’t have ate as much of them as I did if I wasn’t so hungry, and even then I binned half of them. An insult to potatoes.

22/06/2026: If you are looking for a proper, nostalgic American diner experience in Dublin, this branch of Eddie Rocket’s at Point Square is an absolute must-visit. The moment you step inside, you are hit with a fantastic, authentic diner vibe—from the retro booths to the classic decor. It feels incredibly genuine, and because it’s located in a quieter mall, you can actually sit back and enjoy the atmosphere without the usual city center chaos. The food here is outstanding and exactly what you’d expect from a real diner. The burgers have that authentic, juicy American flavor profile that completely blows standard fast-food chains like McDonald's or Burger King out of the water. It’s on a completely different level of quality. I tried the bacon burger, and it was cooked to perfection—rich, savory, and highly satisfying. To top it off, their milkshakes are incredibly delicious, thick, and creamy. It’s the perfect companion to a hearty burger. The menu offers a great variety of comfort food, so there’s something for everyone. On top of the great food, the pricing is very reasonable for the quality and portions you get. The staff here are wonderful—friendly, attentive, and quick with the service. Another massive plus that deserves a mention is that the bathrooms are spotlessly clean, which really shows the management's commitment to high hygiene standards. Whether you're grabbing a bite before a movie at the Odeon next door or just craving a proper American meal in peace, this Eddie Rocket’s delivers on all fronts. A solid 5 stars

20/10/2025: Glad to see it open again after a very quick patch up (paint on outdoor tables still sticky as they didn't seal it) and not much changed inside, but food not up to the mark (tasteless salad, which was kindly replaced and Cuban sandwich in name only). Would definitely go back for a pint outside, but still feels outdated on the inside. Much better friendly service than under last owner. Updated review (October 25): Thanks for your response below! We went back and new menu is great. Best lobster roll I ever had!

18/10/2025: I cannot fault the Queens bar. It's lovely

12/02/2026: Absolutely the best Indian TAKEAWAY Fresh ingredients. Perfect flavour. True Indian and also great for butter chicken lovers like me . Tried and tested over 5 years. The portions of popadoms are huge and come with dips. It’s the same price as anywhere but the quality across the menu is superb. I’ve travelled a long way home for this treat!! The food is SO DESERVING of the 5 stars!!! Also the delivery chap is always very friendly and quick. Food piping hot .

10/02/2026: Great food and excellent service. I tried the lamb biryani and it was amazing, and their naan breads are absolutely outstanding. Very nice.

07/06/2026: I absolutely loved the view here. It’s the kind of place where you can sit for hours, enjoy the scenery, and completely lose track of time. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even better. The only downside for me was the coffee. I ordered a cappuccino, but both the taste and the foam were a bit disappointing and didn’t meet my expectations. That said, I’m willing to give it another try, as it may have been an off day rather than a reflection of their usual quality. Despite that, it’s a lovely spot with a great atmosphere, beautiful views, and excellent service. I’d happily visit again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind.

09/04/2026: A little gem, great coffee, excellent food choice (vegan & gluten free options) and delicious, staff are so friendly and welcoming.

11/07/2026: Great for vegetarians , clean , healthy and tasty food

24/05/2026: Excellent poke, right in the city center. Very friendly service, pleasant atmosphere with some very welcoming French pop music. Highly recommended as a poke fan!

08/03/2026: My new local what more could you ask for.

07/02/2026: Fantastic bar with excellent table service when it's not crowded.

09/08/2025: Lovely coffee and friendly service.

07/07/2025: Great team here. Always great service and great food .

20/05/2025: Terrible and inconsistent service. Was there yesterday may 19th Monday. Amazing service with a smile. Came in today, Tuesday 20th of May an it couldn’t be worse. Young lady just miserable.

14/05/2025: One of the best coffees I have ever tasted. Nice and friendly staff

01/12/2025: it’s a cute little cafe in a retirement home or sth but the people were nice, the coffee good and the prices low👍

02/09/2025: Great breakfast sandwich/roll , warm and fresh best I've found in this area.

16/07/2026: Love this place sooo much. The vibe, the taste, the staff, the music, and the colors. Got a sparagus and cheese pack and it was yummy. Made my day! Even for a quick pause, try this place!

15/07/2026: very kind staff and tasty sandwiches xx

14/06/2026: Gorgeous food, service was 10/10 (Think our main person was called Dee - absolute sweetheart....So helpful & chatty & very cool eye make up)......Drinks were lovely. I ordered the goat salad with chicken & totally cleared my plate. Also for the table, chicken wings & Nachos. Zero complaints. We got lucky with no concert on. Super chilled & we sat outside. Was exactly as we'd hoped. Very polite staff. Great atmosphere.

05/06/2026: Service was non-existent. Food was very poor. The chips were rubbish, tasted like cheap frozen chips. The striploin steak was inedible, mostly gristle. We reported it and nothing was done about it, not even an apology. Some of the staff were even quite rude. The portions were small. The restaurant itself was dirty and noisy. Rubys used to be a good spot so not sure what has changed. I won't go back.

28/06/2026: Really delicious spice box and sweet & sour chicken. Great portion sizes for an affordable price

28/06/2026: I ordered less spicy noodles and got full spicy. The rest of the food is oversalted and not really edible. Quantity over quality.

29/04/2026: THE BEST! Booked due to the great reviews and suggestions, and wow - expectations were exceeded! Sharing platter for 2 was amazing, every meat was delicious and juicy. Sides were lovely too. Can’t thank the lovely server and kitchen staff for my partners birthday dessert - and the happy birthday song! Will return on our next visit for sure 🩷

27/04/2026: After visiting here i firmly believe those positive reviews are by those who have consumed copious amounts of alcohol so there observations and senses are greatly compromised. I visited Bison Bar recently, booking it purely because I had received a Press Up / Eclective voucher and saw it listed on their website. Having had consistently great experiences at other venues within that group, I trusted that this would be of a similar standard. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. On arrival, we were warmly welcomed by a staff member who was friendly, cheerful, and professional, which created a very positive first impression. However, the service that followed contrasted sharply with this. A different server, with short brown hair, took our order and approached the table with a blunt “What can I get you?” as her opening line, without any greeting. As it was our first time visiting, we had a few reasonable questions about portion sizes and menu options. Her responses were curt and dismissive, and she appeared visibly inconvenienced that she had to answer questions rather than simply take an order and move on. During the meal, I also observed behaviour that I found particularly unprofessional. After serving a nearby table, she removed an empty glass and, as she turned away and walked past us, I clearly saw her roll her eyes in apparent frustration at the customer’s request for another drink. It reinforced the impression that customers were being treated as a nuisance rather than being welcomed. Not long after, her demeanour shifted noticeably, becoming overly upbeat and chatty with other tables. This made me feel that she may have overheard me discussing her behaviour with my partner, or realised that I had seen what she had done. The food was the most disappointing aspect. The tacos were dry, with shells that seemed stale and cracked, and the fillings were lacking in quality. The meat dishes were heavily covered in overly sweet barbecue sauce, which felt like it was masking poor-quality ingredients. Even the sides, including the coleslaw, were unpalatable. We didn’t finish our meal and chose to leave despite still being hungry. Overall, this experience fell far below expectations, particularly given its association with a group known for higher standards. It’s not somewhere I would have chosen independently, and unfortunately it hasn’t lived up to the reputation that led us there in the first place.

06/05/2026: Not many places you can get Steak on the stone anymore! This did not disappoint. Beautiful mussels to start, followed by a steak on the stone 8oz fillet, unbelievable cut of steak. Staff was extremely friendly , il definitely be back

19/04/2026: This place was just incredible. What a lovely surprise. Only gave an average score for atmosphere because it was very quiet which we couldn’t believe given the fantastic meal we had. Our server was a character and he convinced me to try the ‘steak on a stone’. We’ll definitely be back.
