We actually ate at the location inside the Mayson hotel but couldn't locate the yelp page. We made reservations at this restaurant for my birthday on March 17th, St. Patrick's day. We knew it would be difficult to get into certain locations but we were easily able to make a reservation at this location. The only issue was right off the bat we were informed there weren't any more wings! Oh noooo.. so, the restaurant needs to have us back when they have them 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. They weren't overly friendly but were helpful and hospitable. The drinks they offered weren't "fru fru" enough for me lol. read more

Service and food were very good! The background music was unusual but we just went with it.

We were walking by and noticed folks in the elephant and castle in Dublin Ireland and noticed folks eating wings and they look delicious so we popped in to try. The service was prompt and friendly, the dining area not too fancy. we ordered wings and beer and oh my gosh, the wings came out with their special elephant sauce, quite possibly some of the best wings I've ever had anyway it was a huge amount and all three of us ate and we still couldn't finish it. I would definitely go back to this place again. read more

Why I'd go back: the wings You HAVE to order: The Wings Tony's Tip: THE WINGS! Okay, this review may be premature, as we literally only had the wings...because that's what EVERYONE orders and we were having a filler meal (mid-afternoon) before a big pasta dinner. But the buffalo wings were perfection. Moist, with a spicy, savory classic sauce that hit the palate just right. We powered through a healthy amount of 20 or so in about 15 minutes. Apart from the wings, the menu is actually huge, and from what we saw of others' orders, the portions were generous, the service abundant, and the prices very affordable (our wings were less than 20 Euro). A must stop if you're visiting Dublin! read more

Visited on a fairly busy Sunday evening but were greeted and seated rapidly into the pretty noisy restaurant. I had the Chicken mozzarella sandwich (see photo) which was tasty thanks to the combination of lots of smooth cheese, a fresh bun and chicken cooked to an ideal temp. The fries were nothing special and arrived barely warm. Two items caused a drop from 4 to 3 stars. Our server never came back to check on us... disappointing as she was originally quite friendly. Second, during our visit the restaurant experienced lots of tiny black flies...an issue noticed by tables on both sides. All the above said, we'd include the Elephant & Castle on our list when we're next in the area. read more

This was one of the cutest restaurants I found in Dublin. The interior was a cute cross between modern and vintage. The paneled walls made the space feel so cozy! The service was very good, and fast compared to most other places we went to in Dublin. The food was great and very fresh! I got a roasted zucchini sandwich and it was great! Would highly recommend! read more

It looked like a very popular spot so we Stopped by for brunch and it was ok. Inside was spacious with tons of seating. The menu was decent and people were raving about the food there so I was excited to try. I settled for the Irish breakfast which I thought was very mediocre. Nothing very special about it. Price was a little high for the food. Service was ok. We were not very tended to. Kind of given our food and forgotten about. read more

Superb eatery. Wasn't one I was familiar with and decided to try it on a recommendation. It was quite busy so it was a little tricky getting the order in and there was a slightly longer than desirable wait, but nothing particularly over the top, and besides, the food was well worth the wait. Best chicken wings I've had in a while, great chips and a decent selection of drinks both alcoholic and soft. Great if you are passing and also worth going out of your way for. read more

EVERY. Single. Table. Gets the wings. Every table. I swear. Their wings are small, but piled high. People come in here specially for the wings and it does make sense. They were super crispy and dunked in buffalo. The avocado toast with eggs is also super simple and good. We already said we might stop back in for the wings! read more

We were walking the Temple Bar area and the locations that were still serving food were quickly closing or converting to BAR ONLY so we were grateful to get into the Elephant & Castle. While we did decide to stay, they informed us right away that they had run out of all the burgers except for the fried chicken sandwich. My wife and youngest son decided they would share the wings and the "dirty fries". Both were delicious and popular with the whole group. I had the risotto of the day, which was roasted peppers. It too was very good. My oldest had the Cesar salad which he enjoyed. My daughter was caught off guard with her sliced chicken sandwich. It was labeled having curry mayonnaise but she was surprised how strong the curry flavor was. I tasted it and liked it but she was right, it was NOT a hint but very very potent. Still we all enjoyed our dinner and the boys had their Peroni's. I thought their homemade Gingerale was OK. More like a ginger lemonade than a sparkling drink. read more

Irish Salmon. Can't go wrong especially with fish from here. Pan seared perfectly and portion was very generous. I could not finish it. Although I thought salmon with mash seemed strange, they did kind of go together. Was a tad bit too salty for me though. Service was good and the location at Temple Bar is superb. Great buzz and energy read more

The worst fish and chips ever! Very overpriced, even for the area. Menu said 12.5% service charge added for parties of 6 or more. it was added to my check even though we were only 5. Babyback rib appetizer was tasty though. read more

This might have been the best Irish Breakfast I have ever had! It was so good we came back the next night for dinner and the Wings and Fish and Chips were just as good. I will say the overall the staff was what really shined. As amazing as the food was what we really remember is how friendly and funny all while super attentive. Don't skip this place! read more

Great service and quickly seated in spite of being in the very trendy Temple Bar area! I have to admit that these are in the top two of best wings I've ever had- and I try them everywhere they're on the menu! It was extremely surprising to find such great buffalo wings in Ireland! They were perfectly cooked- crispy on the outside-juicy & tender inside and the sauce was 10/10. To make this deal even sweeter- 20 wings were under 18€! I was shocked because wings in the US have become incredibly expensive. The mussels and frites were great too! read more

Elephant and Castle is a wonderful place to stop by for some beers and tasty food! The main reason I love to personally visit Elephant and Castle is for the wings. The chicken wings are very crispy and delicious for sharing. The seafood with linguine was lovely with shrimp, mussels, and scallops. I added Parmesan cheese and felt that this really made it. I also added a lot of black pepper. With that said, I like how it's served so each person can make it their own. I have not had the opportunity to try the salads here but while walking to the restroom, I noticed someone eating a salad and this is one of the few places outside my own home that I would order a salad as my main. The bathrooms are private and clean. Very cold Heineken and Peroni on tap! read more

This was open pretty late. Got the open face salmon special and it didn't disappoint. Good smoked salmon on a soft brown bread with light sauce and slices of avocado. The salad was a bit too onion-y for me but went well with the fish. Loved those caper berries. I also got the homemade ginger ale - it was decent. Glad we stopped in. read more

We stopped in here for dinner with a family of six. We were sited pretty quickly. It took a minute for the server to come over. He was not very friendly and made us feel rushed as we were not 100% ready when he got there. We ordered club sandwich, cauliflower wings, salad and Rueben. The club sandwich was very good but served with tortilla chips, just and odd side. The cauliflower wings were cauliflower in buffalo sauce and breading. They were very good. The Rueben did say that it had dijonaysse. Well in my book that is not a Rueben. There was not very much meat, more than enough sauerkraut and the dijonaysse was too mayo tasting. It also came with tortilla chips as the side. The club would be an okay item to get and there may be other things to order that may be good. The service needs to improve, just be friendly. read more

We stumbled upon this place after along day of walking. Food and service were wonderful and very fresh food.

4 stars for a cute and cozy American style restaurant. Particularly menu items that would appear in New York City's restaurants. Well, I think the first eElephant and Castle opened in Manhattan and then the rest of the restaurants of the Lower East Side started copying their menu. The walls are even decorated with pictures of NYC from decades ago. We visited for Sunday brunch. There were a lot of people, but the wait wasn't long. My friend ordered the French toast, which looked gorgeous. I opted for the chicken club sandwich. Yes, it was delicious. Although, I think I should have ordered a burger. I saw my neighbor's burger and that looked scrumptious. Anyways, definitely order a specialty cocktail. I can't remember at all the name of my cocktail. But it was, pink, sweet, and refreshing. Our server was delightful. She was constantly checking up on us but not being overly fussy. Definitely a great brunch place! read more

We popped in here for dinner while wandering around. We got the wings and a salad. They give you a ton of wings, which is awesome, but they were pretty small, but delicious. The service was great, we got a table right away despite appearing quite busy with people waiting outside. I especially enjoyed the climbing monsters plant on one of the walls. Good spot. read more

I didn't understand it at first (and neither did my girlfriend who typically doesn't like traditional buffalo wings) but now I do. They have THE BEST WINGS. I can't explain it but their wings are very unique. The buffalo sauce is creamy in a way, without the blue cheese sauce (which is the perfect sauce and I typically don't use it). It's a $15 item on the menu but that's because you get a large basket of wings...I'm talking 30+ little wings that are all perfect. Stop being a skeptic and check it out for yourself! (I didn't have anything else but my gf said the fries were good) read more

Super cute restaurant in the Temple Bar area. We stopped in for breakfast during my quick trip to Dublin last month. I had the avocado toast and my friend had the pancakes. Both were great and the portion sizes were good too. Very fresh and you could tell they use quality ingredients. Even the coffee was great. The server was very attentive and friendly and happily took my request for scrambled eggs on the side (rather than poached on top of the avo toast). I would definitely recommend to anyone, at least for breakfast! read more

Loved the wings. Canceled my order because the order of wings was so big and good. Chips (fries) best we've had in Dublin. Very good and would go back again. read more

The food was mediocre, low portion sizes and expensive prices for standard pub food. Brownie was burnt, asked for a replacement, also tasted burnt + raw. As if the Brownie was cooked too quickly and the bottom was burnt but the top raw. I haven't left a bad review before but three quarters of our 90euro meal was disappointing. read more

I came stopped by Elephant & Castle during my visit to Dublin a couple weeks ago. We stopped by this restaurant at the recommendation of a local. The restaurant was bustling with people, so that was a good sign. We ordered a couple different salads, burgers, and wings. All the food was really good. We especially liked the wings. The burgers were good too, but I'm not a fan of well-done burgers, which is how their burgers are served. Service was friendly, but a little on the slow side. read more

The restaurant was clean and nice and the servers were polite. However, my food was cold when it arrived.

It's not easy to find a spot with mimosas for breakfast, let alone breakfast cocktails. But this cute little restaurant offers those which makes this brunch girl happy! A great spot for a nice breakfast, you can grab the traditional Irish fair and more here. I opted for the two eggs any style which is a great deal, I opted for taking off the beans. I'm a sucker for breakfast potatoes and loved these crispy ones. My American self just can't get into eating the beans for breakfast. My husband got the pancakes which were so sweet and fluffy I had to steal a bite. The servers here were attentive, friendly, and wonderful. read more

Food and service was so good!! Loved the wings, it was a good size portion as well. Would go back again!

Another decent stop if you are interested in wings. As with many of the places in Ireland they served small sized wings in a bowl. I thought the price was a little high at about 12 Euros but quantity of wings makes up for that. I am a fairly big guy and I could not even finish them all. Great to order and share. They only have one wing flavor and it is decent. My only complaint was it had zero kick. It makes sense to have a sauce not so spicy since they only have one. I likely would stop back but tend to lean towards a spicer wing. Wings, 2 sodas was 20 Euros. read more

Stopped in for lunch because the Boxty house next door was booked up. Cute looking restaurant. Food ended up decent but had a really negative and unpleasant vibe that prompted this review. After we were seated we waited an unusually long line to put in our order. The server seemed curt immediately but nothing too crazy. The last person in our party asked a question about dairy in the dish she wanted. Instead of answering the question, the server said she was going to hold off on putting in the order until she located the allergy menu gave her a chance to peruse it and choose her order. It took her a long time to locate this menu and another long time before she came back. When my aunt asked a question about the item she wanted, the server declined to answer and got the manager, who struck up a defensive tone, when I asked if the kids' order could be put in ahead considering we'd already been waiting for 30 min or so. Rather than try to navigate the menu further, my aunt asked for the salmon without sauce. "Just make it good!" she added with a wink. The manager said it wouldn't be. My aunt said "ok how about a burger then? I'll just take off the bun... I'm easy!" Acknowledging that she wasn't, but trying not to let her dietary restrictions be a huge inconvenience. The manager said "very well I will pick for you," as she walked away. After we had been sitting in the restaurant for over an hour and the table next to us had all been served I walked up to our server to ask how much longer it would be. We had a toddler and an 8 year old who had ordered plain buttered pasta off the kids menu and were getting antsy. Rather than respond she muttered let me get the manager, and walked away. The same person who took my aunts order came over and I asked how much longer it would be, mentioning that the table to next to ours had all been served who had been seated after our full order finally went in, and pointing out we had been waiting an hour already. "Ah but you've only been waiting 25 minutes since the order went in, sir. I cannot accept what you're saying." She said if it ended up being more than half an hour of waiting " something would be done" but that the order was coming out. After another five minutes passed our food came out. My aunt's was last. They chose a chicken bacon sandwich for her, not remotely what she asked for. Possibly a choice based on one of our party's wearing a hijab? Neither our server or the manager checked in with us again, delegating it to other staff. I know "poor customer service" complainers are notoriously lacking in self awareness, but I swear we used smiles and gentle tones as we tried to communicate about our order and were met with extreme brusqueness. For what it's worth my veggie sandwich was good and my daughter loved the buttered rigatoni. read more

Stopped by the Elephant and Castle for breakfast to start my last day in Dublin. What a quaint little cafe located in the Temple Bar area. The staff are excellent and very friendly, they make you feel welcome. I picked the California Sunrise Breakfast which came with Fresh OJ, coffee, eggs, streaky bacon, French Toast, and Hash Browns. The OJ is fabulous and refreshing with the coffee as a nice wake up and say hello to another fantastic day in Dublin. You get two eggs which you can get however you like, I got mine the traditional way they serve them, which is poached. That is kinda like sunny side up with the yoke runny. My egg white was also runny. The Hash Browns were very good. The streaky bacon was very fatty, I wished I would have requested it crispy. The French Toast was excellent, crisp with excellent flavor. A fantastic breakfast! If you are looking for a great breakfast this is a wonderful choice. read more

Multiple locals told me to go here for the wings, so that's what I did. They didn't have Guinness or anything on draft so we opted for the red ale I think? -seafood chowder: this was okay I had better at other places so not the best -wings: really food and they come with so many! I didn't count but it seems like 20 wings. We definitely could have shared after the heavy soup. Wasn't as spicy as I would like but still good flavor and their blue cheese dressing was really good, and not too sharp. -chips (fries) were okay, they were crispy but just kind of bland I didn't get dessert but some of the descriptions were funny. Would recommend the wings here. read more
