    Had to wait 40 minutes to get food that ended up resulting in small portions. Also delay on food was blamed on the new staff.

    Should you find yourself in near Powerscourt Garden's head into EnnisKerry.

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.

    The food here is amazing! It is not really marked well on the building. There is a sign for Mac's…read morePub and then just a few steps past there, you go into a B&B and the Lounge is on the left. 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!

    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.

    You know what? Kudos for having a delicious veggie patty. It was good. The guac cost me an extra…read more€0.50 and it was very so-so. 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.
