The best restaurants in Offaly

10/06/2026: Great little spot but we found it understaffed and overly buisy. Older crowd inside the pub much younger crowd in the brilliant beer garden.now I would have to say it was a Sunday night of the bank holiday weekend.

31/05/2026: A welcome beyond the exceptional. Brian, Ray and all the staff gave us a true Offaly welcome. Up Uíbh Fhailí!

21/07/2026: July 2026 Poor service, great food. Three of us were passing through Tullamore on 20th July, having driven for much of the day and with two hours of driving to go. We dropped in. Two tables for two were put together for us next to the counter. Apparently it wasn't possible to put two tables for two together in a quieter part of the restaurant because those tables were needed for couples. A few minutes later I noticed a table for four being cleared by the window (a much quieter spot) and asked if we could move. I was told it was needed in 30 minutes for a booking. 20 minutes later two people were seated at that table. When I asked for the bill I was told it would be brought to the table. It wasn't. When I went to the counter to pay I wasn't given a bill but just told the cost. Neither was I given a receipt. I could have asked for both but that shouldn't be necessary. I'm still wondering why I left a tip. It must've been tiredness from all that driving. I hope the kitchen staff got it. Read less

17/07/2026: Amazing food as always! I tried tiramisu here for the first today and it was so good!

01/07/2026: Been going to Kelly's in and off the last 16/17 years. Can never fault it.

15/06/2026: For anyone not from the area I would highly recommend avoiding this place. 2 really rude staff members,need to brush up on your customer skills. Should have known from her face 🤣 didn't get a name of her or the guy with the glasses. Couldn't be bothered finding out.

28/04/2026: Always a good spot to pop in for a pint or a sandwitch & a coffee. Very friendly spot & the drinks are of a high standard. Highly recommend.

18/07/2026: A friendly place with good food.

09/07/2026: Food was delicious & all made at the cafe. Lovely building , interior & exterior. Great service. I'll be back!

28/06/2026: The food itself was lovely, but unfortunately the overall experience was very disappointing. The service was extremely slow. One drink came out to the table first and when handed to me i realised the top of the can was filthy. The food arrived and still no sign of the second drink. I went up to the counter and brought it to one of the waitresses attention and she proceeded to then bring down the wrong drink. There also seemed to be wider issues with the service that day — tables around us were also complaining about missing food, and one table had finished an entire plate before the rest of their order arrived. The biggest issue for me was finding a piece of metal in my food halfway through the meal, which meant I had to stop eating. When I brought this to the server’s attention, I was disappointed that there was no real attempt to resolve the situation, and I had to ask myself for some kind of compensation. It’s a shame because the food quality was good, but the poor service and the food safety concern completely affected the experience. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and improves these areas.

22/05/2026: Beautiful decor, giant ramen bowl and very delicious.

15/03/2026: Family Dinner here for Mother's Day Fantastic Value & Delicious Food 2 Mains 2 deserts & 4 drinks of Choice for €60 special mention to Linda & Niamh for the lovely service Top Class Ladys

18/06/2026: was in Birr for nieces wedding what a lovely pub lovely people from locals to every member of staff and the owners were first class thank you very much

11/01/2026: Went for tapas on Christmas work night out. Gorgeous

07/01/2026: The place is okay. We paid €200 a night for 2 people, which is a lot, but understand, given there was a wedding and Country Arms Birr was fully booked, and it was NYE. Still, it was quite a shocking price—but then again, Ireland. It's expensive for what it is, but that's the nature of supply and demand, as they say. We stayed in the front room, and the traffic noise was really bad. Worse than that, the heating in the room was off, and we couldn’t find anyone to help us, so there was no solution, and it was freezing. We woke up with the heat on in the morning. It also has a breakfast with it, Irish fry up. It's okay.

15/07/2026: One of the pub gems in Offaly. Cosy atmosphere and friendly crowd. Great Guinness too

01/04/2026: Very welcoming staff with good facilities, although tye rooms could do with a mirror and dressing table for the ladies. Located within a 3-5 minute walk to the centre of Tullamore.

07/05/2026: Found this little gem whilst attending a wedding in Birr. So glad I did. As someone who likes Indian food, this unassuming little restaurant in Birr provides some of the best Indian food I've ever had, at sensible prices too! Don't miss it! Book if you can - we just walked in and were lucky enough to find a table. Enjoy!
