The best restaurants in Kildare

03/06/2026: Historic building, yet modern and comfortably furnished, very friendly and helpful staff. You walk in the historical footsteps of Guinness here. Would gladly return.

30/05/2026: Hello, Stayed here in April and had a bad experience with a Sibella! So on my arrival I noticed my heating system was set very high. While trying to adjust it I noticed it was actually broken and set on high. I contacted the receptionist several times to tell them I’m actually cooking in the room. Eventually someone came but did nothing. Contacted the hotel after and Sibella told me she’d discount my next stay! When contacting Sibella I then received zero reply! Also breakfast should be missed…

17/03/2026: Rude bar staff would not recommend

09/03/2026: A Quite Breakfast Great large Breakfast With A great Pot of Tea and more if needed more Very Pleasant Bar Lady with a friendly smile, clean polished pink nails, clean hands, hair tied up as you'd expect- serving us both ( A chap fro Co. Meath & a Chap from Co. Kilkenny ).

07/05/2026: It was 3 years ago when I stuck on the motorway for 3 days (Bank Holiday).For a reason. I visited Brennan's and it was an unforgettable night for me. Great atmosphere and staff. I was given lift back to J 14. Thank you!!! Special greetings to Eddie ,Alan and super special greetings for Alan's Father. Will be back. Dariusz (the Polish truck driver ).

30/01/2026: Fantastic pub, great atmosphere , very welcoming , brilliant staff and very well priced. Best Guinness in Ireland !

13/01/2026: Stopped in for dinner one night. Took a long time for them to tell me i could sit in the dinning room since she was on the phone. as i walk to the dining a lot of dirty tables. had to sit at a dirty table and wait for it to be cleaned. then i get a menu that doesnt show the grill option. Needless to say i wasnt impressed and walked out since i couldnt get what i went there for.

07/01/2026: Great food, I would highly recommend this place.

28/08/2025: We met up with family here, it's great to find a traditional Irish pub with fantastic staff.

14/04/2026: Excellent night, lovely food and friendly staff, thank you

06/02/2026: We had such a fantastic time here with the boys. The atmosphere and food were outstanding. Unfortunately my dog, Lisa 🐶, didn't win this time but better luck next time. If only her legs ran as fast as her mouth! Ha..Ha.. We had a great night out. Looking forward to coming back.

21/05/2026: Food was extremely delicious and the service was very friendly

05/05/2026: Absolutely terrible customer service. The employee in the photo was extremely rude, disrespectful, and aggressive toward us. We simply asked for tissues, and instead of helping, he refused and told us to “order first” in a very hostile way. He also used abusive language and made the interaction feel racist and discriminatory. No customer should ever be treated this way over such a simple request. His attitude was completely unprofessional and unacceptable for someone working in customer service. This experience made us feel humiliated and unwelcome. Management seriously needs to address this behavior before more customers are treated the same way.

31/05/2025: Huge portions. Share a starter 😃

08/05/2025: Very delicious. Portions are big.

24/05/2026: Was good food 🤤🤤🤤🤤 I need again and again , spice bag the best ✅✅✅✅❤️

19/04/2026: Best Chinese going. Good quality food

05/09/2025: Been ordering delivery from here for awhile and it's been great - burgers have been delicious, onion rings super crispy and moreish. Great portions. However, the fries are bad - they're lukewarm, not crispy, dry, and tough. Tastes and feel stale. Might just start leaving them out in future orders.

26/07/2025: I recently visited Backyard Diner in Leixlip, eager to satisfy a craving for a good beef burger. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations, proving that not every glittering thing is gold. The smash burger I ordered was quite disappointing. The bun was soggy, and the burger itself had a peculiar, off-putting smell with absolutely no discernible taste. It was a far cry from the flavorful beef burger I had hoped for. To accompany the burger, I ordered fries, but they were entirely dried out and frankly, inedible. This added to the overall frustration of the meal. In my opinion, this was a waste of money. Based on this experience, I will not be buying from Backyard Diner again.

13/09/2025: I placed an order an hour and a half ago and it's not confirmed yet, I called 22 times and no one answers. The funniest thing is that I paid for the order. I had a bad experience.

10/09/2025: The food was amazing, fresh pizza with tuna was my first time having a pizza with fish, I loved it as a first experience. Get the fresh cut fries for starters, they really will make u feel like appreciating it the quality of the food. Non of the food was oily. Leaving made me feel like wanting more, I will visit the restaurant again

11/01/2026: Lovely friendly staff. Delivery excellent.always on time. Love the food.

03/01/2026: Friendly staff, very tasty and well prepared food

18/03/2026: I ordered food from this lovely restaurant, I got their spice box meal deal with a drink. The portion was very generous and as a student on a budget this was perfect. Food was lovely.

08/02/2026: Honestly the best Asian take away restaurant in Newbridge. Their food is really the best. Service very good as well. Served hot and fast. Get their spice bag while you’re in town and you’ll thank me later 😉

14/09/2025: Have visited a few times now and the food is always amazing. Very friendly and welcoming owners and staff. Would highly recommend.

09/09/2025: Popped in for lunch as knew was dog friendly Lovely Huntsman breakfast and bonus leftover sausage for the dog Staff super friendly and food delicious, great hidden spot in the curragh
