The best restaurants in Strandhill

01/11/2024: Absolutely amazingly delicious food, highly recommend.

23/10/2024: Shane and his crew put together impressive and unforgettable experiences for diner’s. We were there for a family reunion and asked the chef to treat us like family. All I can say is the whole staff must love their families. Dish after dish, wines, cocktails and desserts where all well chosen and world class. I’d consider visiting western Ireland, just to eat there again. Thanks to all your amazing staff Shane, surfs up!

14/11/2024: Went here for lunch. Seafood chowder to start which was delicious. Both of us wanted large plates of crab claws which were very expensive and not worth the money. Addressed this with the waitress who seemed to agree but said they don’t make anything on them and told me that at this time of year they were small and “probably were frozen”. Nevertheless took the full price of them when paying. Really? Why serve them if they know this? It’s being greedy and dishonest… there isn’t any need for it!

10/11/2024: Went to this restaurant on 9th of November 24 with a friend and did not have a good experiences from the start of our meal to the end of it... Got prawn Pil Pill to start which was just ok and served with stodgy bread that was uneddible, we got crab claws and fish and chips for mains.. The crab claws which were double claws in cream sauce were absolutely unmanageable and disgusting and should not be severed to a customer like that...The Fish and Chips were burnt beyond recognition full of greese and again unedible..Then to top it of we ordered Irish Coffee, big mistake, undrinkable....Staff were pleasant but never once came to the table to ask us was everything ok.. Now to paying the bill, I was given the bill, told how much it was and the card machine was coming my direction without even been asked was our meal ok... I was not a happy customer so I brought it to the attention of the person who I was paying who I think was the manger and her name was SUSIE, I found her very pleasant and accepting of my complaint and she dealt with it in a very professional manner... Well done Susie.. From my experience of the food it would be 0 stars, and I would not recommend it to anyone...

02/11/2024: I hadn't been at shells for a couple of years. Decided to give it a go for lunch today. Got seated fairly quickly then we were left 15 minutes waiting to order. I had to stand up to grab the attention of someone to take our order. I had Korean chicken & she had goats cheese salad and kids had cowboy burger and calamari and chips. Everyone else was served at the table and my dish never arrived. Waiting staff forgot about me. Once again had to stand up for a few minutes trying to get someones attention to give me my lunch. Korean chicken dish was like a chicken fillet roll from centra on a plate without the bread. The chicken fillet tasted like it went straight from the freezer into the fryer. Beautiful salad leaves destroyed by swamping them in gallons of mayonnaise. Couldn't finish it and feel sick after it. Goats cheese salad didn't come with pecan nuts or orange segments as described and no bread to accompany felt a bit cheap. The Calamari was burnt and the cowboy burger just meat and bread, no sauce. Kids meals looked incredibly unhealthy, no salads or vegetables. This place is a greasy spoon with burgers and chips thrown in the fryer and no real effort. Zero effort and zero customer service gets a Zero review from me.
