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.

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.

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

So much for the friendly Irish! The hostess began to seat our party when another waitress stopped us and near plainly stated that they will not seat Americans. Therefore, we were unable to eat or drink. Do not recommend to foreigners given the unfriendliness of...nearly all the staff encountered.More

What an amazing find! We went to Galway during a visit to Ireland and wanted a nice meal having been very unlucky with our choices to date! We wanted good food and easy parking, this place definitely ticked those boxes. The service from the staff...from the second we walked in was first class and friendly. Our waitress, Anna was lovely. Food was hot, just the right amount of wait time between courses, it was just a lovely experience. We had the Goats Cheese Salad and Chicken Bruschetta to start, they were both really really good. For mains we had the beef and the hake, again, both dishes were fab. The restaurant has a lovely chilled family feel to it, it's also really reasonable. All waiting staff really run around and look after you well. We recommend you visit! Thank you to Tom Sheridan's and Anna for a lovely evening. *Just one negative, and not the restaurants fault was that I walked into the ladies and someone had been smoking. There was a fitting for a smoke detector on the ceiling but no detector on it. There is only one ladies toilet upstairs and even though I was only in there for a couple of minutes, that smoke smell clung to my clothes and I could even smell it in the car after we left.More
