The best restaurants in Galway

18/12/2025: Fabulous hotel, great staff, pet friendly, the food was amazing!

25/11/2025: Ill start with the positives, the food was amazing. I must say props to the chef. I had a fabulous and generously portioned meal for 9 the star is for the food as everything else went terribly. Following my graduation my family of 9 persons went to this hotel to enjoy a family meal. The first issue is in regards to building maintence. The dad cut through his trousers and his leg on a sharp protruding piece of metal acting as a box cover. You can see from the images attached that the cover is missing 2 rivents and is only secured in the middle. My dad brought this to the managers attention who came over to our table halfway through our meal dispiting it with him. He did offer to reduce the price of the meal by 15% however the suit was bought only that morning and that wouldnt cover the cost of a replacement pair of trousers. My dad explained that he didnt want ot have the argiment at the table while trying to enjoy the meal but the manager continued then offering 50€ off (which was less then 15% of our bill...) He said the general manager will be in touch and took our details so we are awaiting a call. We were initally sat at a high stoll table, we asked to swap to a lower table which was done for us no problem as my grandmother was unable to sit at the higher stool due to them not having back rests. We asked a girl who explained it was her fist day if we could mood and she went to ask another person. After about 5 minutes of talking and looking at us another memeber of the wait staff came over and said we could move. There was a bit of a wait for the starters and mains but nothing too extreme we were happy enough to wait. The same lady who moved us was quite rude when we were enquiring about the startes. The menu here has a "Lighter Dishes" section, we asked if that was there starter section and she clarified this to us in a way as if to say we were stupid. "Yeah... thats the starters, is there another quesiotn?". Desserts took quite some time to be brought our. We ordered 3 desserts as the generous portion sizes had us full up. They took 35 minutes to be brought out. I wonder if they were milking the cows in the back to make the cream. At the end of the meal the bill came out and didnt match the prices on the menu at all. Ive attached images of both their menu and the prices on our bill. We were too tired and warm at this point to bother arguing as the lady taking our bill was the same lady who had been rude earlier. The final kick in the teath was the phrasing of their tips. Menu states groups over 8 have gratuity of 10% included however on the bill it is down as suggested even though it is mandatory. Its only a small thing but it added insult to ingury. Previous vists to this place have been nice. Once i was sushed while entering their upstiars returaunt however I was apologised too after bringing it the the managers attention. I love the locaiton and food here but it has really given me a bad tatse now. I dont think me or my family will return which is a shame because we love their pizzas and come rather often. UPDATE No contact from a manager as promised. Cowboy Buisness people operating in Barna. Anyone looking for a place to stay or eat - do not. Plenty of better options in Galway. Avoid this dump like the plague Update again No hope in getting any help. Management have not contacted and when calling say they have no idea what I’m on about. Avoid at all costs. Update again, years later: I still email from time to time and yet no one there cares. I have not been back since (despite being a regular before) and always suggest for people to avoid it like the plague.

09/09/2026: What an absolute pleasure it was visiting Supermac’s in Oranmore! The manager is truly exceptional and deserves recognition for the wonderful way he runs this store. Having run many businesses myself, I know how much hard work, attention to detail and genuine leadership it takes to create a well-run operation. It was immediately clear that this manager takes pride in his work and leads his team with professionalism, warmth and care. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the whole experience reflected a manager who genuinely knows how to run a business. Great leadership makes all the difference, and it certainly shows here. A huge thank you to the manager and his team. Supermac’s is very fortunate to have someone of his calibre representing the business. We’ll absolutely be back, and I would highly recommend this Oranmore store to anyone. Five stars, well deserved! ⭐️

04/09/2026: Said I’d give it another go, but let me tell you, no improvement, staff come across as rude, the woman behind the counter even forgot to give me my drink with the large chicken breast sandwich meal, that I ordered, when I said I didn’t get my drink, she did you order a drink? I said yes I did, but no communication skills at all. Got my drink with little hassle and the quality of the food compared to other Supermac’s is evidently of a low standard, I know it’s a fast food restaurant, but come on!

10/09/2026: 10/10 on everything this was excellent zero complaints

12/09/2026: We had a lovely evening at the Crow's Nest but sadly it was their penultimate evening being open, as the Beefeater chain is closing down, 😟 so some menu items weren't available. A few of the staff have already found alternative employment, one quite close to us at the Woolpack in Stoke Mandeville, whilst others are awaiting redundancy, if no-one buys the restaurant as a going concern. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and we wish them all well for the future. ❤️

11/09/2026: I had to deduct a star for no steak sauce but as it was the last night so completely understandable. Staff redeemed this star so.if I could have given service 6 stars I would by making my favourite pudding crumble with Custard which was not on the menu but òne of many reasons I loved the Crows Nest. As you can imagine the atmosphere although a little sombre and teary was still very pleasant but not the same as normal but with good reason. The close baffles me as if was always busy.I have eaten at many places but often hard to love. I never had this problem at the Crows Nest.

05/09/2026: Yummyyyyy! Variety of food from Latin America and local fish, so delicious and staff is really lovely too❤️ coming back for sure!

01/09/2026: The tacos were excellent, very delicious!

09/06/2026: Hotel is an older hotel. Food is okay, breakfast can be better. No cheese and baked beans,no were there any cold cuts. Matrass in twin room (single bed )had seen better days, you could feel the springs.

08/06/2026: I had occasion to eat there twice while in County Galway. The meals were very good snd served quickly. The waitstaff was attentive and very friendly. They do a very good business so go early. Next time I'm in that area I will be eating there

23/03/2026: Danagher’s in Cong is a lovely little place. Very nice rooms, very clean, very friendly staff. The bar downstairs seemed to be a local haunt. Very cozy and a great Irish coffee. It is right across the street from Pat Cohan’s and the cross for any Quiet Man fans.

10/11/2025: Love this place , lovely atmosphere, Thomas the Barman is a real gem he will always greet the customers with a big smile or his cheeky wink if his hands are full , he alone makes the place welcoming and Ann a bar lady here also you couldn’t hope for a nicer greeting from either one , NO COMPLAINTS , and the people of Cong and Mayo in general are DECENT welcoming people , so definitely give Danaghers a visit , my feeling is you shouldn’t regret it Clint and Anna

24/07/2026: I've had pizza from here a few times now and it's always been great!

28/06/2026: Popped in here for chips last week and they were extremely bad, super bland and soggy even right out of the fryer, the place also had a bunch of flies flying around the area you order which was seriously concerning.. efficient service hence the 2 stars but I wouldn’t rush back.

17/09/2026: We ordered fish and chips and they are the worst I have ever eaten. We had to throw away most of the order. Batter dreadful and it seemed food was either refried or the oil used to cook badly needed to be changed. Avoid

16/08/2026: Worst fish and chips I’ve ever eaten! Absolutely disgusting food. Chips were soggy. Fish was burnt and tasted disgusting. Will never order from this place again.

09/10/2026: Really friendly service and good food! The egg fried rice is only lightly seasoned but this actually pairs perfectly with the well seasoned sauce.

05/09/2026: Delicious food and super friendly staff

10/08/2026: What a great spot to have a pint with your burrito. We had a great chat with Sami, half in Polish even. Great lad, we'll be back.

10/08/2026: Had a lovely chat with the bartender Sami while we ate our burritos. Awesome place, very cozy!

05/05/2026: Ordered 4-1 sunday. Chicken was not cooked! I rang and sent photos women said the chicken was cooked😂❌🤮🤮

11/09/2026: Extremely long wait, food wasn’t the best

27/07/2026: When into order food at 9 45 and was they were but sign said opened till ten also there was helpful of people beside looking food also staff were not one bit friendly

23/09/2026: Food was ok. It was the service received that was terrible. The woman ( who seemed to be in charge ) that was so unwelcoming. It was like it was such an inconvenience to serve us. No smile just a scowl. Very disappointing. Not the usual mayo welcome that you receive in most establishments in mayo. The guy seemed friendly but she needs to work on her customer service. I would not return or recommend because of her alone.

28/08/2026: Delicious mussels! All of the food was perfect. On a sunny day it was gorgeous - not sure how it would fare in the wind and rain!
