    Steak and prawns

    The steak was good. Not amazing, but was good. The prawns were cooked perfectly. The garlic butter sauce was too much for me. It was really heavy compared to the prawns. The bruschetta was WONDERFUL! The best thing I had. That was worth coming for alone.

    My friend had this seafood dish - loved it!

    We were amazed to find a table available on such short notice and were very grateful for the kind attentive service! The menu was interesting. I settled on the surf and turf tacos and the rocket salad: they were each absolutely delicious! We also shared the chips, slaw with cashews and buttered greens sides family-style and between us all we finished everything! The tacos were exceptional: fresh breaded and fried shrimp on spiced shredded brisket! Such an elegant twist to an American favorite: BBQ!

    Small order of duck wings and the goat cheese tart

    Really good food and nice atmosphere. The duck wings were amazing and I wish I was local so I could go back on a regular basis. The goat cheese tart was a little disappointing but the wings more than made up for it.

    Stopped in Galway on our way back from the Cliffs and this looked like a cute modern spot to grab a bite. The person who greeted us was a bit rude - told us to wait, meanwhile a server walked up right after him and grabbed two menus and seated us right away. The same snippy man (thin with glasses) whom we met first came to take our drink orders. I asked him if the prawns were small shrimp or large ones that are similar to small lobsters & he was a bit condescending. He said, "Not to be rude but prawns are shrimp." I have travelled to many countries, and prawns can be rather large. Likewise, lobsters are not always similar to the ones in the US - they are large prawns. Varies by country/location. We ordered the surf & turf and as expected, the lobsters were large prawns, or small lobsters. For those of us from the US, they are not the traditional lobster. I had asked for my steak to be cooked medium rare and came out well done. Inedible. I now realize this is the Irish way but took me two attempts to understand - never order steak in Ireland if you want it cooked properly. They KILL the meat. And he forgot my cocktail so when our entrees came, I had to ask for it. Food delivery is really slow. If you're in a rush, don't bother. Tiny memo - they put the steak knife and lobster tools on the plate (under the food - see pic) so once you received it - they were covered in lobster and steak juices. Might be better to set the silver/tools on the table or hand to customers. The POSITIVE: the duck wings are delicious. Best thing on the menu. The lobster was fresh - just needed some lemon. The servers were great & more than helpful. The snippy one might be a manager - if he is that shouldn't be the case. He's a pill.

    Great lobster roll and service!

    First time visiting Galway and happened to walk into Beef & Lobster. Great food and service!

    Nice sign.

    Beef & Lobster, located in Galway Ireland, was the first restaurant on my vacation here after over a week of trying that I walked out of thinking I would definitely want to come back again some time and would recommend it to others. In addition to having a open, clean, and chic atmosphere, guests can come in casual attire and feel comfortable. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. The food is very good. A stand out dish was their "hot and spicy duck wings" appetizers which were extremely flavorful and served like buffalo wings but with a tangy sort of Asian bbq glaze that was both unlike anything I have had before and a interesting dish. I ordered the lobster roll for my main course which is a Warm Toasted Brioche with Cold Lobster Meat in a Light Citrus Mayo with Cucumber, Mango and Red Pepper Salad. The brioche was a bit too toasted and crunchy, and the lobster meat would have been better warm and deeper into the roll but was displaced by the salad element. However, the butter was served separately and once applied warmed up the meat and soaked into the brioche softening it a bit and the flavors were all there and on point. Really enjoyed it. My wife had the Extra Large Lambay Island Crab Claws and King Prawns in Chili, Garlic and Coriander Butter Sauce. I tried one and it was also delicious. There were no bad orders in our meal. Nothing we regretted getting or eating. Prices were a bit high but not overly so considering this is a tourist area and the food is high quality seafood and steak. Pre tip, our meal was in the mid 60 euro range which seemed an appropriate price point to me considering I have paid much more for much worse. If you are looking for some really good surf and turf with a nice atmosphere and reasonable price point in Galway, go here. You will be happy you did.

    Filet & king prawns in garlic butter.  Green beans.  Baked potatoes
    Doug G.

    Only open less than a month, I would say Galway has another amazing restaurant to add to its roster. Although not serving beers (yet-liquor license still coming) that did not distract from a wonderful night for my wife and I. Fresh Irish crab was the appetizer we shared. Not large but a very tasty opener. We then both selected the surf and turf combo of Filet & King Prawns in garlic butter. Both steaks were amazing. Cooked to order. Mine medium and my wife's burned (I mean Well Done) Not sure what the definition of "king prawns" is in Ireland, but this American would call it "shrimp". Average size. Very tasty. Garlic butter awesome and was poured over the potatoes. The sides. Green beans (very fresh) & baked potatoes (sadly light on the sour cream & chives) Then dessert. Build your own cheesecake. Wonderful. We selected Nutella chocolate, Oreo crumbs & Reese's Cups. Each item arriving in its own container. (Idea for the restaurant- need a knife or something slender to help get all the amazing Nutella out of the container -- better yet --warm it up a bit before serving ) Service was attentive. Unlimited ice water a nice touch and we would definitely come back.

    Great steak, tender and delicious. We ordered the filet and the tomohawk , both pretty good. The meat was soft and perfectly cooked.

    A fun place in the middle of the city. It has live trad music. It was very lively with the music…read moreand dancing. It can be crowded, but that just added to the fun. It has good selection of beer, cider and cocktails. The porn star cocktail was delicious. The staff work hard to keep up with getting drinks and keeping things clean. They do not have food upstairs, where the music was. There was a restaurant on the lower level where you could get something to eat. The space is pretty big with bar seating and tables. It has the whole world pub vibe.

    We stopped in for dinner but there were no tables available. We said we'd go to another restaurant…read moreand we started to return to our hotel. We're just about there when the manager comes up behind us and said he found a table. Pretty impressive service. The table was in a medium sized room away from the music which was great as you could hold a conversation. Our server came over quickly to take our drink orders and once we had the drinks be places our order, cottage pie and fish and chips. The cottage pie was served in a small, but not too small oval baking dish with a nicely browned top on the potatoes. It also came with a side of gravy which was a nice touch. Digging in there was a good amount of pulled well seasoned brisket with carrots mixed. Very tasty dish. The fish and chips arrived with a good portion chips and a moderately sized piece of well fried fish. The fish was very fresh and flaky and the breading was very light so it didn't over power the fish. We had a pleasant meal with two great servers, a manager that wouldn't give up on finding us a table and great music (acoustic guitar) to keep us enter. Definitely a great place for drinks and a good meal and one that we will gone back to.
