Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Once again had lunch and an evening meal here while staying in Ballyconnel. Food is excellent. Anything that we ordered was so good. Portions are very good as is value. The staff are a credit to the place, warm friendly and professional. I cannot wait to go back when in the area again.

Party of 9 turned up unannounced. Food and service fantastic. We’ve been here several times before and always the same. Food is amazing and staff brilliant. Looking forward to our return visit.

Biggest and best steak you will get anywhere. Comes with chips and peas and sauce of your choice.
You won’t need to order starters and you won’t have room for desert.
The small steak is a feast. Try it first

Arrived here as part of a large group on Saturday evening at 6pm. Although the place was already busy we were immediately shown to our table which was just off the bar area. Service was fast and the staff friendly and the food was beautiful (I had the beef stirfry) The meat was so tender and the flavours were delicious. The side orders were large and the jumbo chips would keep any hungry man (or woman) happy.

Very nice to see such a good range of real craft beers. Steaks very good and large portions. We are regular visitors and have always found it good. Keep supporting real craft beers !!!

Lovely food. Service was good. However my partner and I got a starter between us- garlic bread- but we were a bit disappointed as it was just 2 slices of vienna style bread with garlic butter/spread on it... but the main was beautiful and plentiful. Would go again and recommend it too

Stopped off in the Anglers Rest for something to eat on a Friday evening and the place was really buzzing. Having visited before I knew the food was fantastic and once again I was not disappointed. There were four of us and we all order different items from the menu. Now I knew not to order starters because I wouldn't be able for my main course but the other members of my party were braver than me and ordered garlic bread and prawn cocktail followed by fillet steak, minutes steak, which was as big as a full sizes steak in other places, battered cod and I decided on the beef curry. All the food was outstanding and the service first class. If you are even in the Ballyconnell pay the Anglers Rest a visit.

Lovely attentive staff, lovely food, lots of it, excellent value.
I only wish we'd eaten here both nights of our stay in the Slieve Russell as opposed to only one!

We went on Monday 14th and the restaurant was unusually busy, according to the bar manager. Our drinks arrived swiftly and the two staff were trying hard to keep on top of things. Another waiter was called in to ease the situation.
It was well worth the wait for our scampi and fresh cod. Both were delicious and ample portions. It is obvious that they care for all their clientel, making sure we were happy with everyting and apologising for the wait we had.
We will definately go there again if we are in Ballyconnell.
