The best restaurants in Kells

26/12/2025: Perfect place to get coffee ☕☕☕

17/12/2025: Amazing coffee , and amazing staff always so helpfull and pleseant. Best coffee in Kells 👍

06/09/2025: A true Irish pub. One where you can chat with everyone, sip a Guinness while listening to traditional music, and enjoy excellent service. The best Guinness I've ever tasted. And if you stop by on a Friday, try to find the key that opens the chest... you could win!

22/12/2025: Great food, great service, great atmosphere

28/11/2025: We booked a table at Jack's for a family dinner with a visiting family member. Unfortunately this happened to coincide with the recent soccer match between Ireland and Hungary. We were seated quickly, but found the service to be very erratic. One of the servers could not understand the difference between orange juice and orange squash, and lied when he said he had provided orange juice. The food was, well, adequate, I've had much better fare elsewhere. However the main problem was the noise from the bar, far too much shouting and screaming. The staff insisted on keeping the door between the bar and the restaurant open, hence the excessive noise. As I said the service was erratic, simply because the staff seemed more interested in the soccer match rather than the customers, they were all young people, I couldn't find or see anyone actually managing the staff. We were all disappointed and certainly will not be returning.

19/10/2025: Great spot, had the lamb shank was delicious, desert was so nice aswell, with a party of 6, not one of us had a bad meal! Will defo be back! Tiny wee bit cramped-space wise but the food makes up for that! Great variety on the menu

12/10/2025: Calm atmosphere, great service and absolutely delicious food! Thank you and see you again soon!

22/12/2025: Great carvery but has gone very expensive

07/12/2025: Great selection of different foods

22/09/2025: Amazing staff, good coffee but so expensive - especially when there’s such a good choice of local coffee shops. Not much choice for gluten free snacks- had a brownie, but there the same you buy in all shops.

19/09/2025: I just dealt with an absolutely lovely girl with two pink braids, I didn’t catch her name but she is a credit to you guys! Great service and lovely person, brightened my day!

17/02/2026: Lovely food really good cashew chicken and friendly owner

14/02/2026: Granted it’s a Saturday and Valentines, but food took 2h 15 minutes to come. It has arrived hot but salt & chilli spice bag is purely salt. Food arrived quickly after I called around the 2 hour mark. Not sure I’d order again

22/12/2025: Great service and atmosphere, loses 1 star as Gents toilet only 1 sink working and hand dryers very low power

08/12/2025: Super cozy pub, friendly service, great place to enjoy some drinks with family and friends. I went for the first time with my friend and I plan to go back many more times. We went on a Sunday and there was live music, very good.

08/11/2025: Probably had the best breakfast bap that I've ever had, so much so I'm taking another 1 to go. Plus reading a book about Gandhi probably helps

01/09/2025: Very cool place with secondhand books for sale. Food is scrumptious too

10/02/2026: After the complementary poppadoms with a selection of dips. We had the very tasty platter for 2. Nice variety and easy to share. Then the Barani & prawn Moilee which were both full of flavour & spiced to our liking. Garlic naan bread is a must. Overall extremely enjoyable.

02/02/2026: Recently stopped by the Khyber Garden when staying in the Headfort Arms Hotel. Very comfortable seating and nice wood burner on a cold night. Food was very good. Especially liked the Duck Tikka, which was something a bit different. Curries were good and mine hot as requested. Red wine very good too. Owner was a very friendly guy and made us feel very welcome. Hope to visit again, in the not too distant future!
