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.

My wife & I spent a few days in Monaghan. We were recommended Andys by a stranger. Taking him at his word we went for an early dinner. We arrived warmly greated by Kevin who was front of house. After taking drinks & food orders...we had a lovely chat with Kevin. He gave us a few tips things to do a round the town. Our starters arrived both had homemade garlic mushrooms & homemade mayo. Beautiful and very generous portions so much we could of had 1 and shared it . When our mains arrived my wife took chicken & garlic sautéed potatoes I had a burger garlic sautéed potatoes. Many say a burger is just a burger but this was the nicest burger I've ever tasted in my life HONESTLY. Again very large portions but beautifully cooked. Not being rushed between starters mains and enjoying after meal drink this only added to a wonderful experience. Service Food staff hygiene comfort price 10/10. We'll be back .More

Ordered the vegetarian stir fry. The waiter brought it down and it was a bowl of vegetables. I asked did it come with noodles and the waiter said yes I believe it does and I said my dish doesn’t have any noodles. The waiter said...they would go and check. Waited and waited, my food was getting cold so I called another waiter over and said I was waiting on my noodles, they said yes your noodles are being put on. Not sure how the noodles were forgot about in a stir fry. So while the other two guest ate their food I had to wait until the noodles arrived in a bowl, very bland and not mixed in with any vegetables or sauce. Very disappointing. Another chicken dish was covered in so much sauce the breadcrumbs of the chicken were soggy and the sauce was so over powering that my mum couldn’t eat it.More

Found ourselves here on a midweek evening, when there was not a great choice of establishments. We were pleasantly surprised by Andy's. Friendly greeting and service, relaxed atmosphere, food was of conspicuously good quality. I would be happy to return.

Reviewed 18 October 2021

We went for a late Sunday lunch as my parents had read reviews and thought this was a chef led gastropub with good food. What we found was a menu of chicken in gloopy sauces, battered fish clearly straight from a freezer, burgers or very...expensive steaks. Food tasted artificial ie from a catering pack or greasy or both. The pub itself has a nice ambiance, friendly staff and an interesting gin selection. But I would not go for the food and would prefer to eat in places where a chef has actually cooked food and it is not a version of bad fast food at high prices .More

I was intending to visit Andy's (formerly Teach Aindí, Andy's House in Gaeilge) for a few years, ever since I stepped in to have a quick look. Obviously, the pandemic means that my original intention to dine there had to be postponed for a few...years. Until I visited this past weekend with my son on the way back from Tyrone. We were not disappointed. He ordered a burger, and I ordered chicken in a white-wine creamy sauce. Both were excellent in every respect. This was not simple pub food you can find elsewhere, everything in the menu was distinctive, had character, a little twist that made it unique. I highly recommend the Monaghan sauce, and the sautéed potatoes I had with my meal were, undoubtedly, the best I have ever had. Everything was simply delicious, tasty, complex and yet, down to earth. The portions were very generous too. There was a good selection of Monaghan craft beers, Brehon, which gave the meal an authentic flavour. The atmosphere was very cozy and the decoration in the pub is exquisite. Service was friendly and kind; Kevin, the manager, is a true gentleman, welcoming, well-mannered and with savoir faire. The only average thing about Andy's were the prices, which, if you take into account the equation quality vs. price, makes eating at Andy's a very convenient treat. Altogether, it was a most enjoyable experience, and most certainly, I will be going back to Monaghan to dine again, on my own or with the family.More
