22/12/2025: Love this place!
It's always on our list to drop by turning off the motorway!
Even post Covid 19 sitting out front or in the rear gardens.
Just go once, and you will be back!!!!
23/11/2025: This place is amazing, I stopped there for breakfast. I ordered a sweet mixed fruit with oats and seeds. It was so full filing and so healthy. I enjoyed it and it kept me full all morning. I also had a cup of tea which was badly needed that morning. I enjoyed all of this with a family member.
The waiter was a very nice gentleman, he was soooo friendly and helpful.
The place is clean and I loved the decoration inside. Highly recommended 👌 👍 excellent service 👏 👌 👍

Brewery Lane
Ballinasloe
28/12/2025: A really wonderful spot in the cute town on Ballinasloe! We stopped here for a late lunch on our way to Galway and all loved our food, we got the grilled breast of chicken and the battered cod. The chicken was super juicy and well seasoned and plated beautifully! Our waitress was great, and the atmosphere was so cozy. 10/10!
20/12/2025: I dined here recently for lunch with some work colleagues. The waitress was very welcoming and had a lovely manner. I had duck spring rolls to start. They were beautifully hot and crispy on the outside with plenty of duck meat filling inside served with a salad garnish and hoisin sauce. I didn't leave a crumb!
I had the steak sandwich for my mains and was delightfully surprised when the waitress asked how l would like it cooked, as l have found many eateries that do not offer this choice. It came out served exactly to my liking. The steak was served whole on a single piece of sourdough bread and with onions atop, house fries and homemade peppercorn sauce on the side. The meat cut like butter and was melt in the mouth delicious! My companions equally enjoyed their meals. The stir fries were finished with little touches of toasted sesame seeds and coriander.The fish in the fish and chips option was beautifully cooked with a lovely crispy batter.
I would highly recommend and will definitely be back again.

Armorica
Oranmore
26/10/2025: Gorgeous Tapas. Better new location had a lovely evening. Great friendly service. We had a lovely evening.
30/09/2025: This place is a good option to stay near Galway, the room is fine, nothing special very simple and require some basic renovation, our stay was pleasant but for what we payed we probably could find something much better and closer to town.
The best here is the restaurant and the staff, even if didn't have dinner due it was fully booked the night we stayed, we had breakfast there next day and it was really good. Parking is small but enough, we had to wait for a while to be able to park but is included with no extra cost which is fine.

Ardagh
02/11/2025: Perfect! Large, comfortable, well-equipped, well-located, with helpful and available staff.
09/08/2025: Don't let the rather bland exterior fool you as behind the facade is a 5 star family run hotel and restaurant serving some of the finest food I have tasted. Lovely to relax in the Green room with lovely views after your meal. Pet friendly a real deal maker!!

15/10/2025: I am vegetarian and I am allergic to mushrooms and it was a mushroom fettucine on the menu for vegetarians so that was dissapointing for me. So i just had the soup. Everything else was lovely.

Peggy's Bar & Restaurant
14/01/2026: I ve been to these place a few times, the policy and staff are a bit stuck in the 80’s.
If you are not Irish, there is a problem.
My friends booked a table to celebrate my birthday, we were given one hour and half to celebrate, cause the table was booked for someone how was coming after us, another time, we went there for an afternoon lunch, we were aloud to stay outside , but again conditioned by time and not to make to much noise, and the other day we dropped by on the way home for some lunch, food all good, we left the money on the tray and went to the car, the student who was working came after us , informing us that we have to pay…would ve been easier if she checked.
The 3rd attempt, in the ideea that I was wrong, looks like I wasn’t.
14/10/2025: Went to this restaurant on the recommendation of our B&B hosts and was genuinely very pleased to have eaten there. We had two servers, Eve and one other I didn't get the name of, who were both lovely and very welcoming. The food far exceeded my expectations, I had the lamb shank with a side of garlic bread and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. While it's not inexpensive I think it's well worth the cost. My only regret is that I don't have room for a desert. The atmosphere and physical characteristics of the restraunt were also quite pleasing. A great spot whether your going solo or with friends/family!

05/10/2025: A cozy fire, delicious food, and super-friendly service! What more could you want?
Oh yes – lovely people who take good care of the valuables you've accidentally left behind! A huge thank you to the whole team!
15/09/2025: Very friendly and welcoming owners. We were allowed to sleep in the parking lot with our RV. Unfortunately, the food wasn't particularly good. I would have given them 5 stars for their friendliness.

Raftery's Rest
14/12/2025: The menu is spectacular, varied, and delicious. It has flavors that will appeal to both locals and visitors from outside Ireland. The food is excellent; the breaded mushrooms are perfect—the only place I've ever had them prepared like that. The owner is very friendly and loves Tenerife. You couldn't ask for more. Any Spaniard reading this should go and eat there. The food is flavorful and stylish. Thank you so much; it was an experience I will definitely repeat.
10/11/2025: Lovely tasty food, quickly served and nice and hot. The battered Cod was delicious, but the veg was a bit uninteresting.
