The Long Dock
31/01/2026: We had a delicious meal here and felt really welcomed by the staff. Cosy, warm and homely all at once I had the hake & prawns in garlic butter with creamy mash - cleaned the plate! Such a fine pint of Guinness too!
Thanks for having us!
17/12/2025: The atmosphere of the place was amazing. It is located in the middle of nowhere (which made it a nice experience of us) and the inside is cozy and well decorated. Great food and service, no complains about it!

Myles Creek Bar
Kilkee
17/11/2025: I do not mean to damn with faint praise. The Myles Creek Guesthouse was a fine place to stay on a slow off-season tour of Ireland's west coast. Our room was small and a little careworn, but perfectly comfortable and, for the price, a good deal. The amenities suffer a bit in comparison to other, nicer B&Bs we've encountered on this trip, but it a pleasant (and surprisingly quiet) place to rest our heads. Kilkee's main drag has lots of pub and food options -- or would in season, but most places are closed in mid-November. We enjoyed our dinner at Hickie's a short walk away.
04/10/2025: Checked in today and we decided to get some food was greated by the friendliest of staff and given menus, we ordered and the food arrived extremely fast. We ordered 2 x soup and a panini and toasted special absolutely top class this place is doing ir right amazing food & class staff well done to all cant wait ti come back

Vaughan's
Kilfenora
13/08/2025: El pub puede tener su gracia además de no tener otras muchas alternativas.
No puedo opinar de otros platos porque solo hemos probado el roast-beef y es un plato, en lo que respecta a la carne, totalmente impresentable. Esperábamos una carne rosadita y nos han traído una carne guisada seca y muy hecha, de un sabor que recordaba la del cole con la hacías bola antes de tragar. Horrible! Ya he dicho que solo hemos probado este plato que figuraba como plato del día.
10/08/2025: We stopped in here to grab a lunch on our way to the cliffs of moher. Staff was very attentive, we were sat right away. Hubby ordered the Guinness stew and I had the fried shrimp with chips and coleslaw. Both items were good. Space is fairly large, looked like they were preparing for a wedding event.

Fig Tree Restaurant
Newmarket on fergus
04/01/2026: Very very good good and very nice staff! Highly recommend.
26/12/2025: Easily made a dinner reservation online and were seated quickly. The space is quite cozy and beautiful, with views of the golf course. Service was a bit on the slow side, but we were not in any hurry so enjoyed the view and company. We had the fish and chips, salmon filet and soup of the day. Everything was served hot and delicious, and they even surprised our guest with a birthday dessert. We did not stay at Dromoland, but if you do, The Fig Tree is a great spot to enjoy a wonderful meal and cocktail.

Hylands Burren Hotel
Ballyvaughan
08/12/2025: We had a fantastic family stay at Hylands Burren Hotel. From the moment we arrived, every member of staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The atmosphere was relaxed and family-friendly, and nothing was ever too much trouble. A special thank you to Aaron, who kindly accommodated a request before our stay and made everything so easy for us. We truly had a wonderful experience and would happily return!
08/10/2025: Lovely place.
Lovely staff but the food i had was just gross.
Had lamb for dinner.
Red raw on the inside and like a rock from the Burren to cut.
Shame on the cook thats cooking there.

Hickie's Bar
Kilkee
31/12/2025: We are a small family with roots in West Clare and regardless of what stage of the year you come down to the area, the Bay View consistently offers great food, great atmosphere and attentive staff. Everything a good family run hotel should be. Long may it continue!
17/11/2025: We arrived at about 6pm on a Sunday night in November -- when most of the other restaurants in town were closed for the season -- to find a substantial crowd and several people waiting for tables. The very polite proprietor did a quick survey and suggested it might be as much as a 40 minute wait, but lacking other options, we settled at the bar. Fortunately, things moved more quickly and we were seated in about 15 minutes instead.
Their menu follows the "gastro pub" model, with upscale versions of a lot of Irish standards . I had a bowl of chowder (very good), my wife had goat cheese crostini (excellent) and we shared a tiger prawn appetizer (also delicious). The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere cozy on a chilly fall night. Overall, a win all around.

Sherwood Inn
Ennis
14/12/2025: Great food, generous portions, very reasonably priced even in this economy. A very diverse menu, there is something for every taste, including plenty for kids. My girlfriend said it was the nicest scrambled eggs breakfast that she has ever had. It was amazing to us how such a gem of a restaurant can be hidden in an otherwise unremarkable shopping centre in Ennis. Especially as it is a bit of a trek away from the centre of the town. Sherwood’s reminded me of some of the old school family-run cafés in Cork in the 90s that are all long gone, the ones that have been replaced by big chain stores, self-service delis and petrol station sit down areas, which is a bit of a pity.
I fear that cafés/restaurants such as this are all dying off due to rising rates, inflation, automation, changing tastes and faster lifestyles. So I hope that this restaurant stays successful long into the future. The next time we are heading to Galway, Clare or Limerick etc we will be sure to visit 👍
I will say one thing negative. As others have said here, the staff are definitely a bit rude, even towards each other, which is the only reason I have given 4 stars.
24/10/2025: What a hidden Gem. Inside the confines of Clonroad S.C. Ennis, this restaurant offers a variety of dishes to suit all tastes. With a constant hum of chat and laughter from the well fed patrons to the rhythmic click of dishes this dimly lit space was perfect for lunch. Individual booths offer a modicum of privacy too. The attention given when I mentioned my peanut allergy was great and very professional too. When I came back the next day the server remembered me which was a lovely touch. Highly recommend this spot for lunch.

Supermac's
Ennis
25/10/2025: The food was good, and the prices are reasonable. The quality of the food here seems a bit higher than other fast food options. If you have a larger group, there is an upstairs dining area (it was closed when I was there for dinner). My only real complaint was that the wait time for the food seemed a bit long. I believe I was waiting for about 20+ minutes, and there were people waiting for even more time that had already ordered before I arrived.
12/10/2025: Who is this manager type person who stands around either at the counter or is filling her lungs with nicotine on the street ?
She is the perfect example of how not to lead or manage the without exception great staff behind the counter
Arrogant, condescending and dismissive are descriptors that come to mind .
Maybe a few secret shopper visits are due here The staff need help not barking at.

The Irish Arms
Lisdoonvarna
16/11/2025: We were at the hotel restaurant. The coffee and desserts were delicious.
14/11/2025: Didn't stay at the hotel but honestly the best pint of Guinness I've ever had
