I ate an early dinner here today. The place was packed. Looked around at the platea of other diners and everything was appealing. I got the pan fried salmon with a garden salad. It was a huge portion of salmon cooked perfectly and not over seasoned. The salad was mixed greens and a house dressing - very nice. I got... More

We went there a couple of times, and the fish was really fresh and excellent and with a nice thin batter, which I really like. Not very cheap, but not really expensive since it is really high quality, and decent portion sizes. The fish cakes were tasty and spicy, though I think one of mine had perhaps little too much...

Hello LaLaKaboom, Thank you for taking the time to post such a glowing review it is appreciated.I note your comments about the fish cakes and it is possible when we mix all the ingredients together that some patties contain more fish than others. Looking forward to welcoming you on another visit. Regards, Liam. More

Just returned from a week in Killarney and am ashamed to admit that during the course of that week, we managed to eat in Quinlans 4 times! Huge portions (way too much in fact), wonderful fish, clearly as fresh as could be, and lovely, crunchy chips. A brilliant find!

Was in this small place a short while before being noticed but for quick serving-up it was ok. Food top class but the price was somewhat high. Yes,I would go back but not for the charm.

We had to run between the raindrops to find some place to eat and were lucky to see Quinlan's just ahead advertising seafood. We both ordered the pan fried salmon which was done to perfection, and came with the choice of salad or chips (not crisps). I chose the salad and it had a most tasty dressing that was more-ish....

Me and my partner ate lunch here - I had the squid rings and chips and he had the crab claws. Both were absolutely delicious. The crab claws were really fresh.

Hello MishaBee, Thank you for your review. This is the time of year that boats start to fish crabs again and dont they taste so good.I am glad that you also enjoyed the Squid as this is totally underrated because most people have only eaten imported warm water squid which is like rubber so are afraid to possibly try it....

We hustled over to this place because it was close to closing time. It was our choice, due to the fine reviews here. Fried fare dominated the menu, and while this might have been off-putting on other occasions, we surmised an earlier hour visit might have offered more options. Besides, we were in a mood for fish and chips! We... More
