During my recent trip to Ireland staying locally with my Family it was an easy decision as to where to eat on our first evening. Back to Russels to sample some more of there delicious food. Chicken Curry, Stir-Fry Chicken with all the trimmings was lovely. Service was friendly and efficient. A very enjoyable meal.

JJ Ruddles

Reviewed By LeisureGuy32

JJ Ruddles is a recent addition to The food offerings at Shannon Airport. Located in the main arrivals hall it’s accessible to everyone. The decor is warm & modern with an outdoor area too if the weather allows! For lunch you have a choice from the hot counter for fast pre prepared mains and the all day menu. The day we were there nothing on the hot counter looked particularly appealing. We ordered And payed at the till before taking our seats. The staff were mostly young seasonal employees I’d imagine. Of the seven of us only two were happy with there choices. The pizzas were slightly over done and lacking in flavor! I had the fish and chips which was presented well. However The large piece of battered fish was sitting in a load of oil which should have being drained off or towel dried before plating and my chips were over cooked. I did not consider this good value or worth the price charged. The burger was the only item that our group enjoyed. This was very disappointing. We are part of a very large local employer whose staff eat out a lot and are now unlikely to recommend this restaurant to our colleagues unless the quality of the food served improves.

Went early one evening and were lucky enough to get a table. Went for the curry again and it was freshly cooked with a nice crunch to the vegetables. Portions are good with no room left for desert. Service was great, got asked a few times was everything ok which is great to see. Would highly recommend

Pub located on the grounds of Bunratty Castle. Best lamb stew in Ireland and great pasta bolognese to boot. Great service, and charming authentic Irish atmosphere

Reviewed By Keith C

Ate there today, was disappointed on the whole.Waitress had to ask us a number of times what we ordered and the food took ages.I requested my dinner without Brussels spouts, on arrival my dinner plate was full of Brussels sprouts! When paying there seemed to be confusion amongst the staff over the bill and they were actually arguing about it behind the bar, very unprofessional.

Stopped here for lunch.When we entered we sat at a table but when nobody approached us my wife went searching for menus and eventually found one on the bar counter.Meanwhile the servers continued to wander aimlessly around but eventually one of them took our order.The food was top class but when it came to paying we again could find nobody to provide the bill and I stood at the counter for some time and eventually succeeded in paying my bill.The food we had was excellent but I cannot remember when i have encountered the level of disinterest by staff.Such a pity.Dear vincent oThank you for your recent review, I am delighted to see that you enjoyed your meals with us during your recent visit.but i am disappointed to see that the service did not match the level of quality of the food and i will be addressing this with all members of Staff.Thank you again for your feedbackkind regardsJohn

Absolutely delighted with the Glen Tavern.After suffering the truely awful O'Driscolls Bar on the other side of the river the day before, the Glen Tavern was a joy - everything you hope a traditional Irish pub should be... friendly helpful staff who were only too happy to put sport on the various screens around the pub, great food and that was well priced (and a good pint too) and pleasent fellow customers.For anyone drinking in the centre of Limerick City, I'd say give it a visitHi there wayoutsider, We are delighted to hear that we managed to turn your evening around for the better during your visit. Thank you so much for your lovely review and your recommendation of pub. We hope that next time you're around Limerick, you'll call in to see us again! Kind Regards, Ger.
