Visited this establishment today after quite a long absence - curious to see if/how the new motorway may have impacted. There were a few punters in for a weekday mid-afternoon. We were greeted in robotic fashion by a lady by the door & quickly show to a convenient table. A bit of music or jollity wouldn't go astray, as the... More

I visited Matt the Thrasher for lunch and found the overall experience very disappointing. No effort was made to make us feel welcomed and valued as a customer. We had chowder, Crab salad and Cod goujons for our lunch. The chowder was mediocre and lacking taste, the crab salad was served with big leaves of ice-berg lettuce and large onion... More

When passing by we decided to pop in for dinner the restaurant looks beautiful from the outside but do not let that fool you .. We ordered burgers well done and chips how can you go wrong . We sat in the back half of the restaurant during the long wait for our food I saw numerous cobwebs hanging around... More

stopped off on our way to Clare for the weekend, the place looked nice and clean from the outside but that is all. We were seated by the bar and could hear the owner/ manager f..ing and blinding about a kid or (brat) as he called him who had spilled some coke on a table. we checked the menu and... More

We stopped off for lunch on a recent visit to Clare. What a mistake food was way and not a lot of it !!!! I asked for coleslaw with my sandwhich and was stunned to find I was charged 3.75 when I queried this I was told it was a portion of coleslaw and thats why it was that price... More

Absolutely unbelievable!!!! Good God! I saw the owner, publicly, try to seat a couple at a table they didn't want to sit at, in restaurant with plenty of available seating! When they asked if they could sit else where, they were completely shot down. They said they would take their business elsewhere. He shouted after them, 'it's ok, I'll fill... More

I have never had such an unpleasant experience in my life. The man in charge there was rude, obnoxious and insulting. I mistakenly poured water over my seat and when we got up to move to one of the many free tables we were told that we were not allowed and that I had to sit in my wet seat... More

Shockingly expensive pub, we stopped on the way back from a wedding in Adare and were stunned to get the bill for two toasted ham and cheese sandwiches, a coke, a sparkling water and two portions of chips, the damage a whooping €23.50. When getting the bill I even asked if they knew there was a recession on, not even... More

Stopped here recently for a saturday lunch on a busy bank holiday weekend. The place was very busy but I have to agree with the tone of the mostly negative reviews I have read. First of all the owner/man standing in the doorway is ignorant and rude. He barely grunted at us on our way in and looked at us... More
