The food was very tasty and we didn't have to wait long for it to arrive. The passionfruit lemonade and iced coffee was great also. I did have an issue with the wait staff however. Three staff members stood near our table and complained about their jobs and how much they were sweating while resetting the tables. There was also and incident where a lady with poor english asked for a table and the staff member explained to her more than once that she needed to go inside to be seated. The staff member then loudly complained about this lady in full view of the rest of the customers. There was a slight discrepancy with our bill also, which was quickly rectified but I dont think that the staff conducted themselves professionally by complaining about customers, in front of customers. All in all, food was enjoyable but service needs work.

Cozy interior and ultra friendly, and hilarious, staff. Everything was delicious. However the real stand out for me was the beer battered huge cod fish and fresh cut thick chips. There is an abundance of take away or fried fish & chips here in Ireland. But this, it was excellent. Pair w a properly poured Guinness and watch some football at the bar. It all made for a perfect relaxing Irish afternoon.

It has a classy vibe but is casual. I had a Cabernet that was good for 6 euro and served in a proper wine glass. For dinner I had the shrimp and crayfish pil pil which is a spicy Spanish dish with a garlic oil and chili sauce and it was incredible! So flavorful with a great heat. I was blown away. Hubs had the Irish Beef and Stout pie and it was also delicious! The gravy was thick and full of mushrooms, while the pastry on top was light and flaky. We were so surprised at the quality of cuisine presented in this tiny village- and at a great price! If you're staying nearby (we were at the Powerscourt and looking for something a bit more reasonable) this is an excellent choice. Just down the road off the main village square. I think we will probably return tomorrow again!

I ate the salad which was ridiculously good!!! I HIGHLY recommend it! My son and husband both thought they're dishes were good. The wait staff was okay.

Heaven help me for patronizing an American chain eatery (even a relatively good one) while…read morevacationing abroad, but the reality of travelling with a large group is that sometimes you have to play the middle of the road. With vegetarians and other conservative eaters in our party, we found this place a godsend for a midafternoon pre-Trinity-College-sightseeing meal. Actually, it's pretty good on its own merits. I've eaten at other Counters and I like the setup...but there are too many choices! Patty, bun, cheese, toppings, and sauce. So many options! But if you enjoy culinary creativity and/or control, you will not go wrong here. The sides are good too, except that they were out of fried pickles. Sad face. We enjoyed regular fries, sweet potato fries, and grilled vegetables. Everyone enjoyed their burgers, so the meal was a success. Ironically, The Counter has table service, so it's not quite as quick as you might hope. But their sodas are from a fountain (yay, American style) so you can get refills. Plus, a bonus--their soundtrack of classic rock and respectable 80s and 90s tunes inspired at least four individuals in our multigenerational group to sing at various times. Clearly, they are all about variety.

Giant bottle of Staropramen for a good price rounded out the positives attributes of my meal. Hubs' sweet potato fries were the 2nd best I've ever had (after the defunct 501 Club in Minneapolis). Unfortunately the rest of the meal was overrun with immense amounts of oil. My burger bun arrived. It was the color yellow and the consistency of a soggy sponge. That means somebody dipped it in Golden-Flo cooking oil before crisping it back up. Yes, it tastes delightful...the same way deep-fried Twinkies taste delightful. The guilt of eating it manages to cancel out the enjoyment. Also ruined by oil were the onion STRINGS. Confession: I thought they were onion rings. With just an 'R'. I was duped and disappointed when the STRings arrived looking all skinny and limp. Sure, they were promisingly covered in tasty batter...but as soon as I grabbed the first one, the underneath strings crunched the pile, which subsequently disintegrated into an oily pile of fried dough and stringy onion film on the plate. Not cool. The oil-to-food ratio ended up leaving me with hours of tummy feelings the equivalent to a brick buried in a pit thrown into a black hole. Had to take a dinner coma nap on the couch when I got home. Oh and I am from California so I am allowed to say this: For a California-based and California-themed restaurant, it feels nothing like California. This place feels vapid and sterile and I would never call California sterile. Vapid, maybe. Not sterile.

This is defo the place to come to enjoy a tipple after wondering Killiney Hill or Vico Road/Coast Road! Full bar along with very reasonably priced wines available by the glass or the bottle; their food menu is very casual and good price tag. There is 2 TV screens for those into the sport, at the time I was there... They had GAA on one, football on the other. Inside is very clean and well spaced out, not at all what I expected from the outside. This place would suit both local as well as a great spot for tourists, the friendly staff make it definitely an Irish warm welcome. They host free quiz night every Sunday (drink prizes on offer); I'll be definitely back to try it and will let you in on that with an updated review soon! Plus...

SO, Without further adue, let's lay into armPitts Brother's BBQ... It was a Saturday morning when uncle Phil arrived at my door, 6am as agreed, the gentlemen are back in Ireland so we thought we'd celebrate with a full day drug fueled pig out. No, I'm not talking about the kind you might arrange with the chubster mauling her lipstick stained fish bowl glass in Whelans at the end of an evening of debauchery.. I'm a married man now, Sir.. No, we were on a mission to consume as much smoked dead animal, coffee, pints, and antibiotics as we could before his dad came to collect him. FOR HE IS A MAN OF LIMERICK, and a kind soul - rare to find in those westerly parts. My spouse and sprog were also dressed for social warfare determined to keep up with the appetite of the warlords recently returned to the Fatherland.. Seated in the middle of the hall, a pedestal raised for the show ahead. My woman spotted her kin working the rounds and bent up to query her nationality. A match! A southerly piriguete ready to do our bidding and translate everything off the menu - CORN ON THE COBS for everyone in the audience. Do I have your attention?! Do I still have your attention? .. my meat is getting cold resting on the table while the kitchen gremlins in the back fetch water for the table next to us.. Eventually, it arrives, and I'm not surprised.. It's exactly what I ordered.. The same brisket that keeps popping up on my youtube feed every time I look for bbq recipes.. yeah, OK, it's grand, it melts in my face.. job done. I'll take the bloating diarrhoea to go, please, and a can of Fantana for the babee.. Hold up, there's 1 plate not touched.. Uncle Phil's better half. Sitting there with half a dead cow in front of her that's so dry, I wouldn't fuck with it myself without a ramicken of boner marrow to lube up that bitch. Send it back! Feed it to the animals! I'm not paying! My wife's new friend drags it's off by the ankle to have a whine and a moan about it with the chefs and pop! Another one comes sliding across the table. I look back, and cheeky Little Miss Fortaleza has already left, not even a goodbye.. We're all done at this stage too so Uncle Phil's wife has a choice, walk around town with a dead animal in her pocket all evening til munch time, or eat it in front of us while we counting down the minutes before Phil's dads gotta come and pick him up.. tick tick tick.. decision time.. "Table service of 10% is included with groups of 4+.." Oh, that's reallll clever.. Raaeeell bad man.. what if we're not satisfied? Well my friends.. this is where yelp comes in.. the customer is king in the world.. You! small businesses.. You will never be able to silence the disgruntled pedestrians.. I hearby call upon all mammals of Dublin City and visiting beasts of Limerick, do not accept the surcharge! Also, ask for water when you walk in, all the free sauces and all the kings men - I'm gonna shit up the walls in your restroom again.. and fill my bags with complimentary toilet paper! Maybe even a lucozade bottle of soap while I'm there.. Today, a valuable lesson was learned.. Small businesses are ready for you when you walk in the door, like lambs walking into a slaughterhouse.. how didn't we see it coming.. we all know the landlords have em all by the balls, so they gotta pass it on to us and squeeze you, we're at the bottom of a pile of sweaty men, and when it's lunch time, it's crunch time.. but now.. I'm pissing upstream.. Next stop is Bah33 for my wife's birthday.. all you can eat.. mother fcukers.. I'm coming for you.. I'm gonna eat the day before to stretch my stomach, then eat nothing on the day, just hit the park beforehand for a run and a doobskin. Is there a limit on how much tap water they'll allow you? Cos I'm filling up a 5L.. custom briefs to keep tight you take aways around your saucey ghoulies.. the revolution is here and will be televised! The revolution starts neigh! Speak out and cream out! I won't stop until all small businesses are shut and we're all cooking Nigella and ordering bulk meat on the Internet! Why eat out for 30 bills when you can spend that on poteen and kill your own venison in Phoenix Park!

All outside seating was taken but we were able to sit at a table by the window which was a great compromise!

The bun was soft and didn't crumble in my hands, a big win. The Asian flavors were well pronounced and really hit the spot. I ate the whole thing... and it's a large sandwich. My dad got the same but hot sauce blue cheese mayo combo and greatly enjoyed it. My mom got the regular vegan burger and thought it was one of the best meals so far in Dublin. My boyfriend and sister got the chipotle mayo chicken tenders and also raved about them... they looked bomb and I'm sad I couldn't try! We also got an order of krewe fries for the table (no crispy onions), and one order was sufficient for all of us since the mains were quite large! The fries were crisp and not greasy and the chipotle aioli smacked.
