02/06/2026: Steak 🥩 it’s amazing 👍 Highly recommend this place

02/06/2026: The place is newly renovated. Looks amazing. Food was unreal, great price comparing to what you have order. Worth to pay a visit.

10/01/2025: Slowly gone down hill year on year.

25/12/2024: The Friendliest staff and always super food. The chips are my favourite chips worth the visit for them alone.

25/01/2025: Best guinness in mullingar by far

19/12/2025: Never wrote a review before. I’ve ordered 4/5 times now and the level of food was consistent, always good and fresh. I never waited more than 20 mins for it to be delivered, can’t say that about any other fast food spots in kinnegad

12/12/2025: Tried the food during the week . Really nice would definitely have it again . The new owners are really nice and friendly.

27/07/2025: Below average experience. The food is ok. Portion size is absolutely terrible. Been here a few times but the last time was the final straw. Came here one day when it was busy, was just popping in with 3 friends to get a pint and be ok our way. There was a few people looking for seats so I approached the bar and asked the guy (mid 40’s?) about just sitting at the bar for a pint and he was absolutely foul mannered. He said “why don’t you join the queue like everyone else trying to get a table in here” I love locally and this bar/restaurant is quite close to me, many occasions I choose to go elsewhere for food and drinks. In this day and age that behaviour is unacceptable That episode, along with the overpriced menu and small food portion sizes and that barman’s behaviour ultimately made my decision on the palace. Couple weeks later “the shack” came up in conversation with different friends suggesting places to eat; I shut it down. Funnily enough one of the people in the group said that they ordered food weeks earlier and the same guy was intimidating to her because she didn’t eat her food and was pushing for answers, she was hungover and explained nothing was wrong with it. Won’t be returning, and I’ll be telling others the same story.

18/07/2025: Great atmosphere, delicious food, great drinks, and friendly personable service. Wife and I visited Athlone from the UK and were so glad we came here for lunch, highly recommend.

10/01/2026: Excellent pub style grub. Great for a large group, lovely staff and all on a brilliant golf course
