    One of my plates of food for breakfast
    Robbie R.

    Ballybunion .... what a funny weird name for a restaurant! This restaurant is located inside the Holiday Inn in Dublin. It's open for breakfast at 6am till 10am on weekdays and open till 11am on weekends. Then they close till dinner at 5pm. There is no lunch service here. It really basically just serves those staying at the hotel here as you don't have to drive anywhere for dinner or breakfast. It seems geared to the business traveler. The ambiance is not the best, just sort of utilitarian in a hotel. There is a full bar if you need that. I was here for breakfast. Breakfast is a buffet with an omelet and waffle making station, hot foods as well as cold cereals, fresh fruit, toasted muffins and breads, along with juices and coffee. The price is around $12-14 I think. I was able to get a free voucher from the front desk for my breakfast, so the price was right there. Just ask (real nice) if you're staying here at the hotel, good chance you'll get free breakfast. The buffet is way better than the free breakfasts you get a Holiday Inn Expresses that I frequent. The eggs are "real" eggs. The sausage and bacon is a higher quality as well. Most anyone will be satisfied with the breakfast served here, juice and coffee included. All you can eat too! Dinner is basically salads, burgers, some steaks and fried foods. Actually not bad what they do offer. I had a burger here once and it was actually decent and came with fries. You only eat dinner here if you're too tired or lazy to go out and drive somewhere, though there is an OutBack Steakhouse next door, but I think I might pick this place over that! You can put the tab on your hotel room if you're staying here. I'd say overall, better than most dedicated small hotel restaurants.

    Service was prompt-quite fast really! Felt very transactional. These guys are fast as the wind. Impressive bar skills! I got my burger to go, but not many people here on a Monday night. Seems it's just business people. (Like me) its very much a diner type feel. But, it's the Ho-Inn....sooo, it's fine. What do you expect?

    The food and bartender Paola were great - only reason I can't give more than 3 stars was the horrible ambience!! We were at the bar - behind us they were SO disruptive setting up for an event tomorrow!! When they started slamming down the dance floor tiles, I started losing it! It was so freaking loud!! It was like getting hit in the back of the head! I asked them to stop slamming them down and either they didn't care or couldn't understand English. We left as soon as we could get the check. Paola was very nice and friendly! Jalapeño poppers were inconsistent - 2 were way too spicy but 2 were good. The Baja chicken and chicken apple sesame salads were great! Wish they hadn't been so rude behind us!

    Cajun gumbo pasta.

    Food was excellent, but the cocktails brought it down. We had the Cajun gumbo pasta and the rib eye steak. The stars are definitely for the food. Steak was cooked perfect and the pasta had just enough spices. As for the drinks, don't order anything special. Only order cocktails off the menu. If you ask for a Sex on the Beach, you will be wasting your money. It was like flavored water. Service was great! We wouldn't go back to eat dinner because the drinks were terrible.

    Came here for a late brunch and can't wait to try the San Jose cafe!…read moreService is fast and very friendly. They kept the patio open so we could eat outside. We got great recommendations from our server. All the Mexican fare is made in house and you taste the difference! The food was so good and the portions are generous.

    Had breakfast this morning at about 11:00am and was glad to have another good comfy place for…read morebreakfast and lunch. Parking was not a problem in the shared lot and I can see people enjoying their outdoor dining area on a nice day. The inside was modern and well lit. Their windows have shade in order to not sit in direct sunlight if that is your preference. My party of 4 were greeted and seated quickly and water was given to us while we looked over the menu. I appreciate the staff providing my kids with plastic lidded cups with straws. Items ordered: Hot chocolate Coffee Apple juice Old fashioned pancakes~ 2 large fluffy pancakes. Molcajete de Costillitas~ large order with beautiful presentation and lots of protein! This also came with toast and fruit. Popeye's scramble~ large portion and plenty of protein. This came with toast and fruit. Chicken & Waffle~ large portion but my kiddo didn't like the sauce on top. Will have to order without any sauce next time. Side of bacon~ Crispy and well done Cup of chicken tortilla soup~ delicious and loaded with plenty of chicken, veggies, and tortilla. Service was great and staff were attentive. Thank you!
