Stopped in for lunch recently. The inside of the restaurant smelled fishy, so we opted to sit outside, which was a big mistake. So many people were smoking out there and the bums were coming in to have a sit. One man was chain smoking and ordering a pot of tea and more milk every 5 minutes. The food was OK, but I get totally ripped off when we were forced to pay before we got our food (I didn't have an issue with that) but he waitress basically forced me into tipping her. What I get was a rip off was the €6 garlic bread which ended up being four extremely small pieces. After adding on for a tip, which was unwarranted, the expensive garlic bread was a sham. read more

2 is a stretch. If it wasn't for descent seafood chowder I couldn't bring myself to a higher score. The service was indifferent and without personality. We might as well been cattle. read more

Flanagan's Restaurant - Seafood Chowder - American Near Me - Dublin, D

I was excited to try this restaurant because the menu sounded so good but was so disappointed.... Atmosphere: Different than I expected. I thought it would be much more tavern like but it was kinda old fashioned. The furniture looked like something from a Victorian house. The lighting was dim and noise wise it was pretty quiet because it was a dead night. The booth that we sat was covered in velvet red cloth but when I sat the padding squashed way down and was pretty uncomfortable.... Service: Terrible.The place was dead when we went and it took forever for someone to come take our order. I guess our food came pretty quick, likely because it was so dead, so I will give them that. It was brought over by a completely different person though. No one stopped to ask us how our food was. No one checked to see if I needed more water. We sat there with our dishes after we were clearly done for a good 10 minutes before anyone decided to come clear our dishes. Again, this was by a different server. Then, our check took another 10 minutes to come. Clearly they had plenty of staff because they were all standing around socializing with one another. As a former waitress, I was not impressed at all. Food: My boyfriend got the Cajun Chicken Burger and he thought it was decent. He is also not one to complain. He didn't rave about it though so it was just kinda meh. It came with fries and he said those were pretty good. I got "grilled salmon on a bed of champ mash, veg, with beurre blanc sauce". So first, the salmon wasn't anything special. Very bland and a little over done. The sauce on top was a cream sauce that had pools of butter oozing out. The mashed potatoes were too stiff and had lumps. The vegetables were the most disappointing part though. I was hoping for some fresh green beans or zucchini or medley or something but ended up getting some weird butternut squash mix and cabbage. Totally gross. The presentation of my plate was also terrible. Everything looked like it had been thrown onto the plate without any care what-so-ever. Take some pride in your cooking chefs! Geesh! There was no bread basket or anything either. Totally lame. I basically choked it down just because I was hungry and wanted something to eat. I just couldn't eat much of it though. I just didn't want it because it was so wasn't enjoyable. Cost: WAY over priced for what you get. Maybe not portion wise but quality wise absolutely a rip off. NEVER EVER AGAIN will I go here. Ever. Nor will I ever recommend it to anyone else. Go somewhere else. Especially, if you are a tourist. Don't waste one of your meals here. read more

See all

Great food. Big servings. Lunch menu had very reasonable prices. We had the sirloin and Roast and Bangers. Yummy desserts as well. It doesn't look like much from the street but once inside, nice atmosphere. Staff are friendly and hard working!! Would definitely recommend. read more

Fantastic food and lots of it. Friendly staff helped us make our keto substitutions.

Delicious Irish food, excellent service (thanks Luke) and very comfortable. Very much enjoyed our dinner!

A bit of a controversial experience in dining out here. Both stars in this particular case go to the waiting service Date: 24th August 2017, time: around 19:45 pm. Service was really good to us, me and my female friend - very sweet female staff greeting us in the doors, leading us to tables, advising us of where to better seat depending on what sort of setting we preferred depending on mood or weather, if it was to be inside or outdoors, then this great professional knowledgeable young waiter guy who took good care of us. This is the good part In the midst all all this good ... absolutely bland food in excruciatingly tiny portions for a full price each. We ordered two dinner dishes + a side dish + lemon water. On finishing our meal, i felt just slightly less hungry/empty in stomach, disappointed with this disdainful cooking. Go figure out dining standard traits in our town. The taste of our dishes completely invalidated the otherwise good staff service we had received. read more

I think I would've been better off at the McDonald's next door. The service was rude, ignorant, and lazy. That was just from a few waiters that stopped by because I flagged them down (more like jumped out of my seat to get them), our actually waitress didn't feel like bothering with us. The place smells, I don't know what they were doing below but you could have easily passed out trying to make your way to and from the bathroom. The seats were sticky along with everything there. The worst part is that the food was pretty much inedible. Greasy, bland, and fatty (even the salad was disgusting)... I would even feed it to a dog. I was shocked after it was highly recommended. read more

I loved this place! I was waiting to meet a friend in the city and felt a bit peckish and had time to kill. The venue itself is quite nice and gives you a fancy feel, the staff is wonderful and really nice, fantastic service. I ordered fries with aioli and some tea for later. The fries were good and the aioli came in abundance which a lot of places could learn from because it is so good you always end up needed more! I was very happy with my meal here and I will be back to try a more substansial meal as well, also very affordable! read more

I stopped in this restaurant during my vacation in Dublin, and service was great! I ordered Bangers & Mash, and it tasted great! And it was ready within 10 minutes after I ordered it! Fast service! Also, the waiter Curtis was friendly and courteous. I will definitely stop by again next time I'm in Dublin! read more

Checked out this place Flanagan's for dinner in Dublin and it was definitely NOT "Cocktails an Dreams"! I got the Meat lover pizza which was bland and hardly any meat. My wife got the bacon burger, which was ok, but not up to par. We ate outside and were required to pay b4 we even received our meal! Not a good impression for our 1st nite in Dublin read more

The fluffiest pastry that was ever fluffed. What else belongs in your beef and Guinness pie? NOTHING. (You're probably asking yourself if I ate anything besides beef and Guinness pie. Yes, but also no.) read more

Very good food and fast service. The bangers and mash was excellent. My friend had the burger and she said it was delicious. Great location. Would definitely go here again read more

Eat here the last night in Dublin. Heard it was good so we tried it out. Good selection and prices ok. Couldn't decide so I asked the waiter for a recommendation. He said the ribs were good. So I tried them. He was not wrong. They were very good flavor and tenderness. Good atmosphere. They only reason for a 4 star and not five was the service. Waited 10 mins for waiter to get bill when we where done. Oh ya wings were good as a starter also. read more

Came here on the way to the gate theatre as it was handy and really the only restaurant in the area. The food was grand. Nothing out of this world but good for the early bird price and for convenience. The decor has changed since I was in it last and it looks a bit better than the dark dingy restaurant it once was. The waiters were nice and helpful but the manager took the order first and she kinda didn't have a clue what she was at. Would probably eat here again as it wasn't too bad. read more

Fantastic location. Brilliant waiting staff who help you get value for your money. Celebrated my college graduation here and my fiancés birthday. The food was absolutely beautiful. Would recommend. read more

Bland food in a noisy setting. I had the Guinness beef pie which was a Guinness stew with a pastry on top. Accompanied by mashed potatoes and some greens. All needed salt and pepper except the stew. Stew was okay. She had a ceasar salad, tasty and lots of it. Finally i ordered a red ale and to my horror it was served cold. The music is the tourist cd and played way too loud. Staff is quick and friendly. read more

The food was lovely. Unfortunately the waiting service was absolutely terrible. We were placed by the window and pretty much forgot about. It took about 10+ mins just for our drinks to be ordered. We had to ask for everything (extra drinks, condiments etc) twice as we would watch the waiting staff stand around talking after taking our request. Actually the only only thing we didn't have to ask for twice was our main meal. Absolutely appalling considering how nice the food was. read more

Worst experience! A waitress approached and asked if we'd like to order drinks. I asked for a moment as we were still deciding, and asked for waters (which never were refilled again.) The waitress made a face at me. Then another woman came and took our order who was nice....she helped us about twice. I'm not sure what happened to her helping us as she never approached our table again yet I saw her chatting with waitress #1 multiple times.....presumably about our table since they were staring after we asked about our missing side order. The only person passing by our table was the first waitress so we had to ask her for help, which obviously bothered her. We were completely ignored. We had no idea where our waitress was. We asked for our check which was a burden. Then we were completely ignored when ready to pay our check. We were polite and well mannered so who knows why this waitress was so offended. Over fries? That's embarrassing. Also the pizza tasted like cardboard. 100% the worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant. read more

During a recent trip to Dublin, we decided to grab a meal on O'Connell street. Strolling down the high street we spotted Flanagans, looking at the menu there were a wide choice of dishes so we decided to take a seat. We sat down in this cosy restaurant, and were greeted by a waitress who took our drinks order and gave us the menus. I chose the Collar of Bacon (and of course, a Guinness), and my partner had the Chicken with a tomato-sauce type thing - both meals were beautifully cooked and service was quick. We left having eaten a single course, well and truly full. Overall a great restaurant - highly recommended! read more

One of my favorite places to eat in Dublin, great menu. Came here with a large party and everyone loved their food...which is very rare with this group of friends. Fairly priced (drinks a little expensive) but overall had a great time. Staff was nice and very accommodating. 10/10 recommend the beef n' Guinness pie or vegetable boxty read more

Great food and service! On a trip with the wife and we went in by chance. We started with Fried Mushrooms which were very tasty, she had the Scampi dinner and I had the Sirloin. Both were very very good! Definitely recommend this fine place to everyone! read more

Irish area was one of best I've had in Dublin, and the pork chops had amazing flavor....French fries were great too...,dinner was well worth the price read more

My medium sirloin steak was very well done, yet it wasn't charred. Tasted like it was defrosted. The wedges where too big and had little flavour. read more

Had a brunch here. Ok coffee; bacon's too fat I didnt finish it. Waiters/waitresses seemed not in a very good mood somehow. But okay.

Great food and service. Mannerism great considering an event. Like what I mean is, the event was on, yet they were able to handle it. Very well done, I says. I was overwhelmed. hahaha. Price thou was very high for just 3 items. €20. read more

Dublin may not have London's culinary scene but truly you do not need to stoop to Flanagan's. The only thing in its favor.... it wasn't pricey. read more

$5 breakfasts or $9.50 full Irish breakfast! Americano coffee is $3, but decently strong. Had a coupon for free Irish coffee from the hop-on hop-off buss passes read more

I had the Irish stew. The meat was extremely fatty and clumped together where I could not even cut it to eat it. The little meat that was left was overcooked. I told the staff and they still made me pay full price even though I could not eat the dish. Disappointed. read more

I've had lunch here a couple of times and it's always been pretty good! never had any reservations and they've always found space for us, even when it's busy. Got a steak here one time from the lunch special menu and I think I remember being really happy with it. Place is quite small but it's cosy and clean. It's kind of a last minute decision to go here as you do sort of get pushed out when you're finished. read more

Very good meal. The ribs appetizer was very good and my bangers and mashed were standard fare. My wife enjoyed her roasted chicken. The apple pie was a bit doughy, but that might be the norm in Ireland. The service was a bit slow but everyone was very, very pleasant. The atmosphere was nice - crowded but not overly noisy. And of course the Guinness was great!! read more

I'd heard loads about this place, particularly the fact that it had a new chef. I called in on a wet & dreary weekday night and I found a wonderful bustling atmosphere. However, I was a little underwhelmed by the food, and we ended up paying €60 for 2 burgers, 2 cappuccinos and a bottle of house red. From what I could see, I missed a trick and should have gone for the Roast of the Day. This place is perfect if you need 'a feed', if you've been working all day and know you won't be eating again for hours. I'll definitely be back - because the service was fantastic - but next time I'll go for something a little more exciting than a burger. read more

We loved this place! It's like a nicer version of Denny's, that's the best way I can describe it. The prices are great and the food is good. It's nothing fancy, but everything we had here was good. The Guinness and Steak pie was super delicious, as was the Irish lamb stew. Also, the breakfast combos are cheap and tasty too. It was near our hotel and was open late. read more

Decent fare. Nothing special. I ordered the potato leek soup and house salad. The bread that came with soup was a little on the stale side. Service was good - prompt and attentive. We were referred here by our original choice which was no longer serving dinner. Wish our original choice was available - oh well. read more

Just okay. The potato leek soup was very good. Bread was stale. The beef roast was so dry and tasteless that I sent it back and ordered the chicken. That was much better but still nothing special. Lots of food for 28.80 e. Came with mashed vegetables, and baby potatoes. read more

This was a great spot for breakfast. Our meal was €5 per person for half an Irish breakfast with tea. Service was slow though and it took about 15 minutes to get our bill. read more

Flanagan's Restaurant - Irish breakfast - American Near Me - Dublin, D

We had dinner at Flanigan's during a trip to Dublin. The food was really tasty (burger and pie), only the steak sirloin with onions was pretty marbled. The servings were quite big. The waitress could have been a little more friendlier, but it was ok. read more

Me and my other half decided to try here one night after work and we were very pleasantly surprised, it wouldn't be the most high end of places I think it's just above a nice pub grub but the food was lovely it was very much so comfort food with a nice chilled out environment with an average price tag read more

I visited this restaurant on November 3 2018 with a friend. Although I enjoyed the meal (Bangers and Mash). I was very disappointed in the service. In addition to asking our table to pay for meals in advance - the only table asked to pay in advance on the patio - the waiter was rude and rushing us to finish. I would not recommend this restaurant to others.i will be sure to not visit this restaurant during my next trip to Dublin. read more

I would love to write them review but basically got thrown away from the table when asked to have a soup with coffee for my lunch. They say their policy is that if you don't take main course you cannot take a table. Pointless to say that restaurant was completely empty at that time. Two stars for their attitude toward customer. read more
