The best restaurants in Carrickmacross

06/01/2026: Awesome cafe ! 😃 Brave lads💪🏻You ancestors would be proud ❤️

03/01/2026: Thanks for the warm irish hospitality

23/01/2026: One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommended!

15/01/2026: Just spent four nights at the Shirley Arms Hotel (Mon-Fri). From first contact (email query), the team have been fantastic 👏 The hotel is lovelly, and all of the team are super welcoming, friendly and helpful, but a special shout out to Aoibheann in the bar restaurant, who was super fantastic 👍 Food was lovelly, and by far my favorite was the Sizzler steak dish with creamy garlic potato gratin (see picture) 🫡 I should say, that I had already ate some, and cut the potatoes up, so the picture probably doesn't do the food full justice 🤔 Some people have commented (negatively) on the cost of the food, and yep - they are not the cheapest, but - and here's the thing, you get what you pay for, . . . For me, I received value for money, and wouldn't think twice about staying here again in the future 😎 Lots of onsite parking, great rooms and attentive housekeeping for the rooms, and if you have forgotten anything a 'Super Valu' supermarket next door, . . . . . . . Seriously, what's not to like 🙂

12/01/2026: A hidden beauty, staff are extremely helpful and accommodation, food is very well priced , room is lovely and well furnished, shower is very warm which i personally like, and ample parking with gated and cctv , 5 stars all day long

09/09/2025: Awesome is a gem in the heart of Carrickmacross, serving coffee from expert roaster (roasts coffee in house), delicious bakes and always a kids hot chocolate for the little ones. Staff are top class, in a town where there is no shortage of coffee shops, this one stands out.

20/08/2025: Great coffee and the staff is very accommodating! Highly recommend!

26/12/2025: Best lunch spot in carrick. Evening menu perfect. Best steaks in carrick. Great value for money

29/11/2025: Bar man said we were "too rowdy" and "causing hassle for others". Disappointed by the service considering the photo attached is how we were for the night. Bar man took a photo of us all and didn't say anything concerning and then decided we were all too mouldy and causing hassle for others despite us being the only people present. No wonder small bars are losing business when this is what people are met with.
