Very tasty food good value. One of the specis of the day when I was there was steak on the stone for €20. Kids meals are great value also at €6.

We visited after an afternoon in Donadea Forest. Staff were very young but friendly and attentive. The restaurant was casual and the chef added to the atmosphere with his personality and interaction with the customers. We had the nachos and double beef burger, followed by...the brownie sundae for dessert. We ordered a children’s pasta for our son which was very generous in size. All were very nice. If I’m being a little picky, the nachos and sundae could have been presented slightly better, especially for the price. Overall, the food was good if a little expensive. We enjoyed our visit and may return in the future.More

My partner and I went to the Grill Shack in North Kildare for the first time last night, and we felt we were transported out of Ireland to a restaurant near a beach in Greece. The restaurant was extremely informal, and looked like it was...built from bits and pieces found on this beach in Greece, in a very charming and inivatative way with whatever was to hand. Diners surrounded the kitchen area on three sides. I could see people having a joke with the congenial chef. The food was also different from the usual Irish fare. We happily shared a starter of very tasty ribs, And then on to the mains - my partner had a 10oz steak which he had to cook himself on a hot stone accompanied by a small salad and a paper bowl of tasty chips with 3 little dips for his steak. He cooked the tender steak to well done, the way he likes it. I had hake with prawns served in a bowl, with a creamy seafood broth. I loved every bite. I also had a salad and chips. His garlic butter went really well with my chips. My partner had an orange drink from the bar and I had one glass of wine. Dress was very informal, some people fitting in nicely with shorts and runners. We paid approximately €60 which I thought was a tad steep for the informality of the place, however we will definitely be back, sooner rather than later to explore the menu further, especially the dessert menu.More

OK. so a couple of things. First the food is on point. It's a narrow menu but what they do the do well. Burgers are great and the skillet of haddock fish dish was beautiful, its basically a chowder. The baskets the burgers & fries...come in are too small. I can't be bothered waiting for a steak to cook on a stone so it's a turn off for me but that just a personal thing. Beers in the pub are beautiful and the atmosphere is great. Everyone who goes here knows the craic with the pub etc So here's the deal. It's clear the Manager has had zero hospitality training. Rude, abrupt and confrontational.... obviously so. This was my second visit and same behavior. Everyone in our group commented on it. If he is in charge of the ( very young ) waiting staff God knows how he's treating them. Chef in the open plan kitchen is upbeat guy and you can see he's the one building the atmosphere and he enjoys what he is doing. Bottom line, you will enjoy yourself here but you will think twice about returning because of the Manager in the restaurant.More

We visited for a special family meal as a farewell dinner for our son and grand kids returning to the USA. eat outdoors in garden. The table was needing maintenance and some paint. Some of us chose steak, this was a mistake. One of us...decided to have Eton mess for dessert, instead of meringue in it they chose to put broken up digestive biscuits. When we mentioned this to waitress she said there was no delivery of meringues that day. However, he was not advised when ordering that there were no meringues. We have always been satisfied in the past when eating here and recommended to many friends. Not any more. Sadly will not be returningMore

Just had the best lunch, absolutely delishious. We shared the steak on the stone with prawns, ribs, burger and brownie with icecream. Everything was amazing. Ribs were fall off the bone! Staff were all extremely welcoming and friendly. We had our toddler with us and...he loved it! Highly recommend.More

Top shelf meal and a whole lotta WOW!! Bottle those sauces up & stick a label on it. Everything was excellent & can’t recommend the food & service enough. Cheers & best wishes Alan🍁

Terrific food and wonderful service from young and very pleasant staff. Lovely place too. But on the night we visited, the 'man in charge' was abrupt and downright rude to my enquiry about a booked table. Bad hair day obviously but really? Who needs it?...Basic manners and some small sense of being welcome on the premises is a good thing. After all, the rest of the staff can do it. I'd return there, but better prepared for his aul lip! 😉More

Just back from a fantastic meal at the Grill Shack. We had fillet steak served on hot stone, chilli burger, bbq burger and haddock meals. All were delicious. Desserts also, had key lime pie, brownie sundae and a very cute idea of coffee with mini...dessert which was a small amount of each of their main desserts!! Can't wait for our next meal there! I personally love the atmosphere and the shack look. Tables perfect for seating 4 as the boards for the steak are quite large.More

Call here when passing today. I’ve tried calling before on my way by but always busy. I was earlier today and call In. The food is gorgeous and was not disappointed at all. There was a few of us so we had most items on...the menu no one could fault it, staff were so Friendly and helpful it was a joy. The only reason I did not give them the top rating could be a bit cleaner. We will still be calling in when passing by.More

Service excellent choice on menu fantastic. Food par excellence. 5 stsrs🌟 . Very busy, but service excellent. Friendly staff.

Booked a table for what I assumed was the grill shack. Instead we were seated in a cabin outside with picnic benches. Setting & Atmosphere was very poor & food at best was moderate. Won’t be dining here again.
