Morrissey's
Doonbeg
19/10/2025: We visited this restaurant as a group of eight and were really looking forward to it after hearing and reading so many good reviews. The food itself was great — everything we ordered was tasty and well-prepared. Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food.
From the moment we arrived, there was no friendly greeting, and throughout our visit, not one staff member smiled or made us feel welcome. Our orders were taken without any warmth, and no one came to check if everything was okay or if we wanted more drinks. The staff seemed grumpy and uninterested, which made the whole experience feel uncomfortable.
It’s disappointing because the food was good, but the lack of customer service really brought down the experience. Sadly, I won’t be visiting again.
11/10/2025: We had a very pleasant meal here, one steak one fish. Service was lovely, efficient and timed well. We had a table with children next to us and contrary to other reviews the children were treated well. Would return

An Teach Bia
Ennistymon
14/09/2025: We stopped for breakfast on a Sunday morning and when we opened the door we were told to go out as she was closing at 10.45am in the morning there was people inside we weren't the only people turned away. Won't be recommending this place to anyone she was very rude and the people inside just stared at us. We did nothing wrong.
14/09/2025: We were completely ignored as customers. We came in and waited at bar to order as I wasnt sure if they offer table service. The young lady at counter ignored as completely, she was picking up food to serve but she didnt even acknowledge us at all. Finally, someone from kitchen came out and asked us "what do we want". So I said we were looking for table for two. We were put in corner, she gave us menu and again we were completely ignored. We walked out as we were passing through the town on the way ring of Kerry and had no time to hang around in this unfriendly place. Total lack of customer service.

The Long Dock
23/09/2025: Very good experience, staff was very good and knowledgeable, food was fantastic and the IPA beer was very nice, would definitely come back just for the food, lovely little Irish bar.
22/09/2025: We loved every bit of our experience at The Long Dock Pub, from the lovely and accommodating staff to the meatiest, freshest, and most delicate oysters we’ve ever tried!
The seafood chowder was absolutely amazing, and the main dish was just as impressive. Another honorable mention goes to the Ros Cider from Cork — this apple–rhubarb cider was perfectly balanced, not too sweet and not too dry, wonderfully refreshing and delicious.
All and all, I’d love to come back one day for more oysters and drink! Thanks for having us

The Irish Arms
Lisdoonvarna
05/07/2025: Waitress was nice and friendly.
Toilets were clean.
Food was poor for the price. Burger was cheap supermarket frozen quality. Was similar for kids meals.
Would expect better at a chipper at 2am.
10/06/2025: food was amazing, beer was cold. get the locally smoked salmon!

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.

Myles Creek Bar
Kilkee
03/08/2025: Terrible service, 1 person doing drinks & taking payment. Not that busy but kitchen closed for 1/2 an hour.
Value for money - 5 chicken wings for €10.50, you wouldn't pay that in a 5 star restaurant. 1/2 a celery stick cut into 4 strips & nit even washed.
Would not recommend here to eat.
21/06/2025: We ordered fish&chips and chicken burger & chips. Very bland, did not taste much. Soggy and lukewarm chips. Sloppy leaves in the salad for the burger. Overpriced, not value for money. Service rather quick though and not rude as described by several others. But that is not reason enough to eat here….

Ennis
01/10/2025: Holy crap! Amazing!
Music, friendly faces, great spirits, this is why I came to Ireland!
28/04/2025: This place was absolutely hopping when we arrived. Very popular with millennial and particularly hens and stag parties. It appears that they start at the farthest point and work their way in.
Everyone well behaved

Hylands Burren Hotel
Ballyvaughan
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.
01/10/2025: A great wee find! We have stopped off here for food when travelling on numerous occasions over last 10 years it's consistently excellent. The burgers are our favourite now! And if your lucky you might just catch a beautiful trad session in the evening with amazing voices as well as tunes!.

Sherwood Inn
Ennis
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.
21/10/2025: The service was efficient, but not welcoming. The food was good - but a roast without roast potatoes is like gin without tonic. We would go back.
