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.

Excellent food and a fabulous location in which to eat. Great service too. At this time of year the annex can be a little chilly when the wind blows and there is no sunshine. But dont let that observation put you off. The staff are...extremely friendly and helpful. The menu and food is excellent. Locally caught fish and locally reared meat. Cant wait to visit again.More

My family and I enjoyed a casual dinner on the terrace at this popular spot, which felt more local than touristy. The view of Tralee Bay and the Slieve Mish Mountains beyond is nothing short of stunning. They were quite busy, and the service was...a bit chaotic, but we were happy to relax and enjoy the beautiful setting. We found the food unremarkable, though we enjoyed the mussels starter and the pork belly special.More

Thanks to Enda and his superb staff for a most enjoyable and memorable evening, we had while dining with you in the past week. We were delighted to get a table in the new patio area which is stunning and a perfect place to relax...and enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains and Tralee bay . Our food was absolutely superb ,and wonderful service we received from the very attentive Susan . The Tankard is certainly well worth a visit and you won’t be disappointed.More

First time back since the new terrace renovations & honestly I could write an essay of a review but to keep it brief… Overall, my experience last night was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of mouthwatering cauliflower wings and steak, along with the breathtaking...views and positive vibes made for a fabulous evening. Whether you're a local or a visitor to the area, I highly recommend paying a visit to this culinary haven. Your taste buds and soul will thank you. It's clear that the whole team takes pride in providing a memorable experience for every guest. Mission accomplished yet again!More
