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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Having a family lunch while visiting our daughter in UG. While my three children enjoyed their meal, my wife's dinner was okay however my meal was terribly. I asked for my beef with a side green salad and roast veg, what I got was so...poor. The beef was most likely boiled and not roasted, the veg were boil and possibly but highly unlikely ever roasted (not so nice taste) and the green salad - I can never why restaurants cannot just give you fresh leaf salad - this came with corn, onions etc!! Highly unlikely to return.More

Our family of 5 were lucky to get a table here on a busy Thursday evening. The place was cosy and warm as we got a lovely table beside the fire. We had a lovely young pleasant girl taking care of us. We had a...variety of mains - kids had chicken burger, beef burger and the curry while adults had the hake and chicken supreme. Everything came out piping hot at the same time and tasted so nice. We shared two deserts which was cheesecake and a chocolate brownie between us. Will def return.More

When for a quick bite with a family of three. The food was poor. Had chicken burger at €17 and worst I've had in recent memory. Chips are woeful, cheap, frozen, greasy and overcooked. Coleslaw had a very strange taste (left out for a long...time feel). Bun was not toasted, soggy and burger was bland. Kids' curry was okay, but rice swimming in sauce, soup like. A place for locals to drink, that's it. Food is very underwhelming. Mentioned the unedible chips when paying and was told 'sorry about that'. Can't say I'll be back.More

I dropped into Sheridans for Sunday lunch today. It was busy with tables reserved. There were 3 gentlemen in front of us waiting on a table. One of the men was elderly and clearly infirm on his feet as he was being linked by the...younger gentleman accompanying him. I couldn’t believe it when the waitress offered them a table upstairs…. Up 2 flights of stairs!! And then stood back and watched as the man attempted to climb the stairs. I’ve always enjoyed eating here but We didn’t stay for dinner after seeing this.

Very average roast beef, lumpy mash and a sprinkling of vegetables. Apple crumble in its latest form, no pastry. Pushy about additional drinks. If you want to watch soccer, it’s not the venue as it’s all about rugby with full sound and only picture for...soccer.More

How many more weeks will it take for someone to fix the sound/speaker system ? Feel sorry for all of the bands/acts that have endured the speaker drop outs this past few months. No one in charge.

Have been a fairly regular visitor here over the last 10 years and food was always decent and reliable but I’ve been twice in 2023 and it was very disappointing. Undercooked chips. Rubbery chicken wings were inedible (they used to be very good; crispy on...outside and tender in middle)…chewy tough steak. The food here is just not the level it once was. It’s like the quality of the produce together with the care in preparation have slipped. Pity.More

As a long time customer of Tom Sheridans, I really like this place BUT the drop in quality and increase in price of the food offerings these days have turned a corner for the worse. Pursuit of margin and lack of competition are the main...factors in this business losing the solid edge it once had.More
