Conways Kildavin


Kildavin
24/08/2025: So good we drove across from Dublin. Twice! Sunday lunch was really good - roast lamb, pork, beef with properly cooked accompaniments - wholesome comfort food. No frills, just really tasty. Full credit to the chefs. Beers were good. Dessert was very good too! The floor and bar staff are lovely: welcoming, polite, very presentable and help build a super relaxed environment: attentive and professional. Pricing is correct. Highly recommended.
27/06/2025: Great place and food for quiet Saturday lunch.

Supermac's


Carlow
19/08/2025: Mi joven amigo y yo fuimos a Supermac esta noche. Como siempre la comida era deliciosa! Nos atendió una pequeña mujer joven de pelo oscuro y ella no podía hacer lo suficiente por nosotros. Fui una segunda vez por helados y para pedir una comida para llevar para mi marido y ella insistió en traer todo a nosotros, comprobando si me gustaría una recarga en el té que había comprado antes. El personal agradable hace toda la diferencia, disfruto de la comida supermac, el personal encantador es una gran ventaja. Además sirven el mejor té en Carlow - té de desayuno bewleys. Supermac, siempre disfruto de mi visita y este Supermacs en particular es mi favorito 😍.
10/08/2025: Quick service. Food was what we ordered. No issues.

Step House Hotel


Borris
26/07/2025: Food overpriced and over hyped some staff on the rude side
19/07/2025: This review is for the restaurant/pub only – we did not stay at the hotel. We stopped in for a quick lunch at the 1808 Brasserie bar yesterday while passing through on the way to Rosslare, and unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the food and service. My partner ordered the buffalo chicken wrap, which arrived ice cold and even raw in parts. When we brought this to the staff’s attention, there was little concern shown, and surprisingly, the floor manager didn’t come over at any point to apologise or check in. The waitress did offer to replace the dish, which we appreciated, but we declined. Instead, as a “token of apology,” we were brought a cold ham and cucumber sandwich along with some overcooked chips – which honestly just added to the awkwardness of the situation. The beef sandwich was also below par. We left feeling quite let down by the whole experience and would hesitate to return based on this visit.

Riverbank Restaurant


Tullow
01/05/2025: I originally had given this restaurant a 5 star review on the back of having been there a number of times. However, having recently returned, I found that this place has dropped a lot in quality and service. I believe it has changed hands/under new management and it would appear to have gone downhill since then. Such a pity, it was a great place to eat and family friendly.
11/04/2025: Unfortunately, food was just ok and that's me being "generous". Service felt like we were back in 90s. Atmosphere was like a nearly closing down place. Huge potential in the right hands,but definitely not into whomever runs it now. I'm not the person to complain and haven't said anything while settling the bill (which was 74 euro for 2 people and not even a "thank you" received). Won't be rushing again to eat here,for sure.

The MerryTree Restaurant by Rathwood


Carlow
11/07/2025: Tuvimos una experiencia muy agradable aquí el miércoles 9 de julio. Nuestro camarero era un muchacho joven, muy amable y servicial, genial con nuestros niños, nos hizo sentir como en casa. La hamburguesa vegana era increíble, muy fresca y deliciosa ensalada en el pan vegano. Los niños pidieron espaguetis a la bolaña, porciones muy generosas. La tarta de queso horneada estaba increíble, los niños quedaron encantados con sus galletas y helado. Lo recomendaría sin duda y volveré por su carne asada.
11/07/2025: Estuvimos allí la semana pasada y la experiencia fue mucho mejor. El personal es muy amable. El pescado y las patatas fritas valen la pena y el rosbif se derrite en la boca. Conocimos al nuevo chef, que también es el gerente de alimentos y bebidas, nos informó nuestro mesero Cian. Quedamos realmente impresionados y volveremos.
