The Laurels
Killarney
23/09/2024: Our group of eight stopped in on a Monday evening and was able to find a table in the back of the pub. My wife and I were not extremely hungry so we decided to split a meal. We chose the beef nachos with jalapeños, guacamole, and cheddar cheese. This is the first time we have ordered nachos in Ireland, so we don’t know if the tortilla chips normally come dusted with seasoning. We are used to having plain tortilla chips, so the extra seasoning was pretty unusual.
21/09/2024: A decent stop for dinner and a drink. Staff were great. Food was okay. Serves were big and came out quickly but was just okay. Didn’t blow me away, standard quickly cooked and quickly served food. It’s still a great place to consider for a meal, again, probably down to the staff.
If you do decide to go to Laurels, try for a table in front room, rather than the restaurant at the back.

The Munster Bar
Tralee
28/07/2024: Compared to all the other bar's and restaurants we used in Tralee this was the least friendly bar , barmaid made me feel she was doing me a favour serving me , come on Munster bar catch up !
26/07/2024: We walked in tonight and the bartender glared at us so I smiled and said “hi” and he said “what do you want?” in the most unfriendly tone. It was actually quite funny how rude the interaction was. We walked out and didn’t eat there. The food smelled good though. I’ve just never had an interaction like that in a hospitality setting.

Yew Tree Restaurant
17/10/2024: The food was delicious with outstanding service. Lucian couldn’t do enough for you, he really went the extra mile. It was a very enjoyable fine dining experience. Thanks so much
25/08/2024: We enjoyed breakfast at the Yew Tree each morning of our stay at the Muckross Hotel. The food was amazing, and the staff was even better. Thank you, Ramone, for your outstanding service and kindness.

The Mad Monk
Killarney
16/09/2024: Based upon the reviews, we had high expectations of great service and food. Unfortunately, this was not the case. We had made reservations and were seated right away and immediately gave our drink and appetizer order. Water was provided also at that time. We ordered the Atlantic Prawn for a starter. What we got were 6 very small shrimp floating in oil and a piece of bread. I was hesitant to order prawns again from another restaurant but their prawns were in fact plump and very delicious. So, I know it was not the norm. My husband had the sole which had little flavor and I had the sea bass. The sea bass came in the form of two very small fillets with little fleshy meat. The food in itself was disappointing, but the service was even worse. After our order arrived, we had no other contact with our waiter. We finally flagged down another waiter and asked for more water that never arrived until we received the bill. For our second night in Ireland, it was very disappointing. Especially as we had wonderful fish and chips from a local pub the night before. Not worth our time and money, unfortunately.
16/09/2024: Efficient service and delicious food. We had the steak and the salmon which were cooked perfectly. Lovely place. Staff were also friendly

the Failte
Killarney
19/08/2024: Very nice place, listening music (you can even dance) all the evening, as eating a seafood chowder and slightly spicy Buffalo style chicken wings. Generous plates, I recommend it.
25/07/2024: It took over 40 minutes to get my food. I was at a table for one and everyone around me that was seated after me (including a table of 10) received their food before me. It took another 15 minutes to get the check after asking two different people.

Quinlan's Fish
Tralee
04/11/2024: The place is very nice, I ordered chowder as a starter and it was very good, it was light in flavour and for my first course I had cod with potatoes, the portion was plentiful and it tasted good!
The service was fast and the staff very friendly.

Pizza Time
Tralee
08/10/2024: Got a burger and family members got pizza. To be completely honest the burger wasn't great the pizza was ok lots of cheese on it. Lady serving is was absolutely lovely great customer service but there was a younger one who was so moody glad she wasn't serving us
16/08/2024: I love this shop the food to die for such nice staff I've been going since 2014😀⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Lakeside Bistro
Killarney
20/09/2024: Dined ala carte at the Lakeside bistro— Enjoyable outdoor dinner with an excellent view for my first night in Killarney. We had the poached pear and blue cheese salad, crab cake and smoked salmon, three cheese pizza and sea bass with couscous. Sea bass was probably the best dish but everything was more than satisfactory. Food arrived promptly and portions were pretty generous. Was difficult to get server’s attention at times but this improved through the evening and servers were very friendly. Was actually looking to get the set dinner at the Castlelough Restaurant (pictures look great) but entered the Lakeside Bistro, was too hungry to clarify, and had a great meal nonetheless!
31/08/2024: We got a table in the adjacent bar and ate dinner. We had a very friendly and courteous waitress, the food was excellent as was of course the beer. After eating while on the brink of getting another beer, a waiter who has not been serving us before, appeared rushing by slapping the bill on our table with the words “when ever you are ready!” And disappeared again. What happened? Did I offend anyone? Did I forget to shower? What about “good evening sir, would you care for another drink?” Or “ may I bring the bill if you are finished?”.
Nope… guess that would have been too much… I was truly gobsmacked and boy was I ready… ready to spend his tip on another beer elsewhere. Shame, sometimes it takes a single cocky Youngblood to abruptly bring a nice evening to an end. By the way, at least five other tables were empty so we were not “blocking” anyone…

Supermac's
Killarney
22/10/2024: I had burger, it was good, but waited a bit even though it was not busy..
10/09/2024: Asked for no onions, lettuce, and no seeded bun due to teeth issues, in person. Somehow they heard "so many onions you cant see the meat" and they didnt put lettuce in, and gave a seeded bun. How can they forget the second they hear it? Burger was also dry, disgusting. Chicken was way overdone and bland and chewy. Will absolutely not be going back. Pity, because most supermacs ive been to have been lovely.

Bunkers
17/10/2024: Great spot in the heart of Killorglin. Pub/restaurant, we dropped in on spec for some dinner with the local branch of the family. A regular stop when in Killorglin, and a comfortable one. Great staff, good menu, and friendly crowd - highly recommend!
16/10/2024: On vacation to Ireland, our first stop was Kilorglin, and while waiting for our hotel room to be ready, we stopped for lunch at Bunkers - the hospitality was wonderful and I had my first Guinness. We enjoyed it so much that we came back the following night for dinner. The food and service, with server Ady, was great, and the trip across the Atlantic was worth it for the Chicken Hibernia. The peppery mushroom sauce on the chicken supremes was fabulous. Great place to relax, chat with the locals and the staff, and hang out for a couple of hours.

Blind Piper
28/10/2024: Establishments in Kerry are normally very friendly and happy to welcome customers, this was not the case today in this bar. The rudeness was awful to paying customers in this day and age. Would never go back again. Shame because it is a lovely bar and nice food.
13/09/2024: Second time having the misfortune of visiting. Met by rude staff the first time but ended up staying for couple of drinks in July. Hoped perhaps they were having a bad day. Visited again today. Rudest staff ever. Particularly the taller lady. Was utterly ignored standing at the bar. This time didn’t stay after their rude interaction. Thought I could try my new found invisibility elsewhere.

We stopped off here for a drink while doing the ring of Kerry. I've often passed here and it's always closed (closes at 2:30pm every day).
We said we'd have one drink while passing. We were surprised that they only had cans of Bulmers, not pints or bottles. We ordered cordial for the kids and were told "we don't serve the mountain water" so we had to buy bottles of water for these cordials.
€20 for two cans and three cordials. They're charging €7/can of Bulmers (from a multi pack stating expect to pay no more than €2.75) and €3 a bottle of water. The woman behind the bar was friendly and nice.
The cans were unopened , so I returned them for a refund. Some tourists might get caught and pay that extortionate amount, but no way were we paying it.
Very annoying also to be told "How do I know you didn't just come in off the street with your own cans looking for a refund".
I cannot comment on the food as we didn't have any
I'll often pass here again, but it'll be my first and last visit. Rip off Ireland at it's finest 👌🏼
