The best restaurants in Kerry

20/11/2025: I dream of this fish and chips. It’s incredible. The fish is cooked to perfection. John is an absolute gentle man and makes everyone feel so welcome. I’ve never seen a chipper with a wood burning stove inside! Absolutely incredible. Fish and chips by a fire was never as good as it is the Hungry Knight. Counting down the days until I’m back there again.

18/10/2025: I don't know how this place has a 4.2 rating. Of the entire 10oz meal, plus fries with cheese and garlic sauce, the only good thing was the hamburger meat – probably thanks to the butcher from the nearby shop across the street. The fries were hard, and the bun looked like it came from a supermarket, which isn't befitting a place that claims to be an artisan burger joint. In Poland, this level of quality would probably deserve a rating of around 3. On the plus side – the service was very friendly and helpful. Perhaps the quality of the food is different in the summer, but unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it in October.

17/08/2025: Damien was working as the bouncer tonight and he dropped me and my (intoxicated) friend home. Absolute gent. Excellent female singer out the back tonight. Bar staff were extremely friendly. ❤️

30/10/2025: Phenomenal ice cream. It’s been 2 months since we’ve visited this little shop in Kenmare. Margaret made us feel like we were at home…but with way better ice cream. All it took was talking with her and she insisted our treats were on the house! It was by far some of the best ice cream we’ve ever had the chance to taste. Highly recommend dropping in to see Margaret here. Love from America

01/09/2025: I wanted to give 3 stars, but my husband very much enjoyed his three flavors of ice cream. Server wasn't very interactive at all, didn't seem like customer service was her job. I had espresso (very good) and salted caramel (very soft, almost soupy). I chose the unique 2 sided cone, which was cute in presentation, but was stale and had a bad taste--definitely not the way to finish off dessert.

13/10/2025: Still dreaming of our delicious Chocolate Guinness cake from our wedding… Gary was a pleasure to work with and even designed the cake to match the flowers on my dress. The cake was moist and the buttercream was not too sweet, just perfect. Setup was seamless and the cake was ready in our ballroom by the time we arrived for dinner. Highly recommend!

02/10/2025: O’Carroll’s Bakery came through for us on short notice with the most delicious vegan cupcakes. My daughter was thrilled to have a safe, egg-free treat for her granddad’s birthday. Wonderful service and amazing cupcakes—we’ll definitely be back!

18/01/2026: delicious food and excellent customer service, staff were friendly and very helpful

30/12/2025: We booked for 19.00 arrived at 18.55, on arrival the floor staff were at the till arguing over someone bill...but unaware of about appox 10 person waiting to be seated..Also staff standing around with dirty tables to be cleaned...we were eventually guided to a table ...while the backlog of tables been cleaned & persons seated ...no organisation of staff or persons entering as we walked around & found meanus ...4 sets of families behind us entering had there order taken so I decided to wave as if I was in school...now I was wearing a sparkling top so u could not miss me !! ...eventually we ordered drinks for the 2 hr seating as I knew we would not get served again...while the starters arrived in 30 mins it was 1 hr after we arrived to the resturant..so while the main course arrived at 20.30 ...we would need a lock in to have desert...I would not recommend it as the lady with the white bow in her hair at the door was shouting at a male collague...( i thought that day was gone ) very uncomfortable watching with a 13yr old & hubby... food was good but will not be going back..catherine

28/11/2025: We were traveling through while we were driving the Ring of Kerry. Found this little Pub to stop in at and had some food and drink. The guy behind the bar was super helpful who turned out to be the owner Tommy. He was also the chef and whipped up some amazing lunch for us. One of the drinks we wanted needed cream so he went down to the store next door and bought some for us. One of the items on the lunch menu was the salmon on toast which was amazing and he went a couple businesses down to the local fish market and got a fresh filet of salmon. We also had some burgers and a wrap and they were all amazing and tasted great. The best part was the commentary and talking with Tommy as he had great ideas of places for us to go and see while we were there some of the best places we saw on our holiday trip we're because of Tommy. Great guy funny full of good ideas. Definitely a place to stop and see if you're in the area. FYI you'll be able to understand him a little better because he's originally from Boston. Tell him the O'Connell sisters and their husbands sent you from the states.

15/10/2025: Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere, and great people.

02/01/2026: Nicest chipper I've ever had , I've never seen doner kebab meat as thick as they give you here and the pita it came in was homemade. I 100% recommend

18/09/2025: Their quarter pounder with cheese is delicious!

25/09/2025: Loved it. Always a special treat. Very nice meal, and the buzz of the races and being able to bet ( and get your winnings) right at the table. Highly recommended

20/09/2025: A must-see at least once, for the Irish spirit. Plus, you get to see some pretty animals quickly, very quickly!!!

12/07/2025: Has got very expensive and buns smaller

02/07/2025: This place is a family tradition

10/09/2025: Great Service! Would appreciate more vegetarian options :)

18/08/2025: Freshest tastiest food I've been served in a long time ! Must stop in if your passing it's truly well worth it. Only problem is you won't have room for dessert after eating the dinner 🤣

16/01/2026: Lovely hotel with breathtaking views. Food was pretty basic in both the bar and the breakfast rooms. Nice food but not a massive choice.

07/01/2026: Only had food here. Didn't stay. Good choice of food. Kid friendly. Bright. In summer outside would be lovely. Benches built into the tiered field with beautiful view of countryside and mountains. Other Outside seating too. Plenty car parking. Some with a bit of a walk. But some neat Hotel entrance.

16/10/2025: Food was freshly made and very tasty

07/10/2025: A cosy place nice and warm, plenty of space and food was hot and freshly made ,especially the chips unlike some others fastfood outlets where the chips are just luck warm.

23/09/2025: Best Night of sleep I've had in weeks. Beds are so comfortable. Best shower I've had in weeks. And such nice service all around. Everyone is so friendly. Definitely recommend.

22/08/2025: Such an amazing staff, hotel, and location! Everyone was so kind and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. Definitely our favorite place we’ve stayed during our country tour. Highly recommend!!!
