13/09/2025: Excellent service and atmosphere!! the staff was very friendly, coffee was nice and cake not overly sweet. BUT food was bland and lacked flavour, very small portions made for poor value overall.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

29/08/2025: WOW ! My family and I had the best meal ever . 11/10 . The wine selection is amazing. Ask Arif to recommend. I’ll be back.

10/08/2025: We visited as a family of 4 (two teenage children). Unfortunately when we arrived this evening there was a VERY loud party of 6 in the restaurant which wasn’t a great start! We ordered our food from a very pleasant and attentive young man. My husband’s starter along with my own was garlic mushrooms. I found the sauce to taste a little bland and almost “watered down”. Our main courses (2 pasta dishes) were extremely salty. So much so that I only ate a few forkfuls and my husband left mussels behind!!…..not at all normal for him! Even my children commented on the chips with their meals being salted quite a bit. My husband was particularly disappointed as we don’t tend to eat out as a family that often so it was unfortunate. On a positive note, the staff we encountered couldn’t have been nicer and extremely apologetic when we mentioned how salty the food was. Our bill was reduced by the cost of my main course by way of apology. We did leave a tip in the end purely for the young man who served us. I would certainly value him as an employee if I were the proprietor.

31/07/2025: Needed a quick bite before checking into my BnB, Mario’s was the perfect spot…Friendly staff, very quick service, and yummy chips!

23/07/2025: Service excellent, cleanliness excellent, Food excellent and staff really really friendly and helpful 😀 especially Jessy she is class.

23/08/2025: Very nice place. Very good options to choose from. Enjoyed my meal and found the staff very lovely to deal with

03/08/2025: Excellent food with some great combinations, might be a bit overwhelming on too many flavours though. The side orders of mash and veg are super tasty but it will get you full in no time. The staff is super nice and friendly and the prices are reasonable for this quality. Not to miss this little restaurant if you are in the area.

09/09/2025: A very nice pub with excellent casual food with lovely pints of Guinness and good "craic"

24/09/2025: This pub had great food, great service. A must see in the middle of Ireland

08/09/2025: This is the cutest cafe we had lunch at during our 2 weeks long trip to Ireland. It is not easy to find since it is located above a pharmacy/fragnance shop and the sign is quite small, though. The venue is airy, bright, clean, cozy and nicely decorated. We loved their sandwiches and they had a very rare desert, - "Pavlova", which was out of this world. Coffee was excellent as well. Highly recommend!

05/08/2025: Enjoyed a few hours fun very nice

24/08/2025: We really love a Sunday morning drive over here from Shannonbridge. Food & service is always great

05/10/2025: Assembled a crew for my thirtieth and sailed up the Shannon to Luker’s for our first overnight stop; they had no problem accommodating our large group and provided top class service with delicious food. Big fire roaring in the hearth down the back was the cherry on top of a lovely evening of chat and song. Five plus stars and shoutout to all the staff for putting up with us.

01/10/2025: Very nice Bar and Restaurant. We came in on a Monday in Off-season and we were the only people. The food was really good and because we were alone we got a nice tour through the new and old bar. I can highly recommend this place
