Tannery
Dungarvan
01/06/2025: Exorbitant price for cold food. There is nothing amazing about this place. Also food took ages to come and when it eventually arrived it was cold, so disappointing.
24/05/2025: had a lovely stay in the townhouse 🏠which is located right next to the water! the dinner was fabulous - for mains, we ordered the ribeye steak (& mash) and grilled seafood which was delicious, and the chocolate mousse was amazing too! the service was great, the staff were very professional and welcoming.

One The Waterfront
Tramore
03/08/2025: You'll pay for the location on a sunny day, with the lovely seafront facing patio, not for the food or service.
Food takes forever to arrive, chips were not hot (they must precook them and leave them under the light), kids burger was inedible, really poor quality, we just thought our daughter wasn't hungry, other items (pizzas, wings) barely edible, bread was fresh and chowder decent but the price tags don't remotely reflect the quality (burger €19, fish and chips €28, pizza €18...)
Didn't bother complaining as we didn't want to wait ages again to get items replaced or a manager to show up.
They weren't even massively busy.
The young staff are friendly and they do try, but they are let down by the kitchen and management.
26/07/2025: Went there on a hot sunny day. Sat out on the deck and it felt like I was in Greece or Portugal. The food was very nice.

Kazbar
Waterford
07/07/2025: Great place to dance the night away
06/07/2025: Walked in here the other day. Staff flat out ignored me. Incredibly rude. Barely anyone in there. Can see why now. Been here loads of times before. Won't ever darken the door of the place again. Place has gone to the dogs.

Raglan Road
Tramore
14/07/2025: Absolutely disgraceful this place should be shut down!!! Myself and my partner and 2 freinds and my 3 month old baby attended this “restaurant “ for dinner , we ordered and the food that we had got brought out to us was dog food to say the least! We ordered 2 extra well done steaks , they came out dripping of blood , one roast beef we also ordered and I can’t even explain the slop that was brought out to us as a “roast beef” this was like a rubber rasher steak the smell of it was vile like it was out of date , it was served to us in a place SWIMMIMG in water and oil!!! And 2 burned roasties and a Yorkshire , my partner and the rest of us sent our food back to be made properly like we had asked before we ordered as we sent it back we sat there listening to the chef/owner screaming at his staff which bare in mind where 17-19 year old young girl telling them it’s there fault the foods not nice not his yet he’s the one cooking it? My partner then asked could he ordered something else as the so called roast beef we got was uneditable and as that the owner/chef came running down the stairs screaming and shouting saying “ where’s this man who said my beef is disgusting” my partner then told him it was horrible and shouldn’t be served to people worst we have seen I thought he send it out as a joke! He then screamed at 4 of us while my 3 month old baby sat in her pram telling us all to get out if we didn’t like the food , I then stood up and said it was not ok to scream and make my baby cry he’s a grown man and how dare he and he proceeded to tell me he “didn’t care about my baby and to get out”
This had to be one of the worst experiences in my life going to a restaurant we then headed to another bar after we left and the locals and other bars had told us that this so called “chef “ and the owner of this bar was an absolute disappointment of a man , I had rang back after to ask the women who I think was manager was there cctv of this act that he pulled and she then told me we haven’t got any camera so if I’m being honest it doesn’t seem like the first incident this man had with paying customers! I highly recommend not to waste ur time and money going to this place as I really think with previous reviews this place should be shut down!!!
And should definitely have a food inspection in there also as I think he’s serving gone off meat to people as this food was absolutely atrocious!!!!
04/07/2025: Enjoyed a pint while touring the Cipper Coast! Great pub in towne center - check it out!

Lawlors Hotel Dungarvan
Dungarvan
15/06/2025: Great hotel, big comfy bed, nice bathroom, friendly helpful staff.
The only disappointment was that the breakfast could be better quality tastier products. Deserves more than its 3 star rating
21/04/2025: Clean room for £80 per night, friendly staff and the location couldn’t be better. The hotel could do with a bit of renovation etc but it’s more than reflected in the price!

Happy House Chinese
Tramore
17/06/2025: Severe food poisoning chicken was pink.
Got it many times and never had a problem
16/06/2025: Definitely better than #9 in Tramore, the Beach House is a small, cozy place to get wonderful freshly prepared elegant seafood — with their specialty being fantastic fish & chips — far far better than a chipper though. They also have oysters and mussels and such, with great desserts too. Highly recommended, with a terrific staff.

Foley's
Lismore
10/07/2025: Burger was nice and big. Staff is lovely.
23/06/2025: Sadly, not as mive as I had hoped. A cute location, beautiful inside. But the staff seemed more interested in chatting with each other rather than checking on customers. (When I went three was only one other table used).
I ordered ravioli, and thought tasty, it was dry/hard on the edges, which made me wonder if it was frozen or had sat out all day. Disappointing...

Meades
Dungarvan
18/07/2025: The dearest cappuccino so far.
Was here a few years ago and decided to return .
2 pastries , one americano ,and one cappuccino cost almost 16 euro .
This is surely ripoff Ireland at its best .
The place is old fashioned , staff are young and not particularly friendly. I would expect better customer service , training would be an advantage.
Its a shame as its in a prime location.
09/06/2025: Supposed to open until 6.00 pm, I arrived at 4.30 pm, looking for a coffee and a snack. The two dour youngsters behind the counter told me I could not have one of the sausage rolls on view, and could only have a coffee in a takeaway cup, as they were closing at 5.00 pm. I won't be back.

The Spinnaker
Dunmore east
15/06/2024: Great place to eat, out of the way of the crowds but still close enough to join the beach. At the moment I think the place is temporarily closed, such a shame.

Anchor Bar
Dungarvan
06/10/2024: A local recommend this pub to us as we were travelling and just passing through the town.
It was the best food we ate out in the 2 weeks we were travelling in south Ireland.
Food was exceptional. Fresh, fast and hot. We had Vol au Vents and wraps. Onion rings were delicious too
16/09/2024: Popped in the anchor and found it to be quite busy, not packed so had a calm atmosphere.
The two members of staff who were working there were friendly and polite and a credit to the owners, nothing was too much trouble.
Ordered falafel wrap and the Irish burger which were outstanding.
Compliments to the chef.
