Wanting a healthier lunch we got just one order of fish & chips this time and one of beet salad and split them between the two of us. Both were excellent. The fish was hake. This was easily the best of the four fish&chips we've tried so far in Ireland. Outstanding actually. The batter had the most perfect crunchy texture, wasn't too thick, and it adhered well. The fish was just-off-the-boat fresh, flaky and cooked just right. The portion was enormous - two fillets, one large and one medium, with a relatively small portion of good fries. The tartar sauce was tangy with tiny chopped pickles. Vinegar was available at the table. This was served with a small salad of lettuces, spinach, scallions, and onions. Price was surprisingly low given the portion, right around average for fish&chips in our experience so far. We ordered the entree salad with the locally made goat cheese add-on for a small extra charge. More excellent leafy greens, beets in small cubes, pomegranate seeds, picked onions, candied nuts and plenty of chèvre in large pieces. It was pre-dressed with vinaigrette and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. Very good, a far better choice for us than two orders of fried fish. Also on the menu were 3 other kinds of fish (monkfish, black sole, and plaice), each prepared differently. Shrimp scampi, seafood au gratin, and steamed mussels rounded out the seafood section. Oysters are on the menu but they weren't available that day. Other than seafood there were also burgers (beef and veggie), chicken wings, soup of the day, chowder, a steak, lasagna, pan roasted duck breast, cannelloni, liver paté, spring roll, and more. So a very extensive menu here, and not just the same things found everywhere. Sadly we didn't have room to try their desserts, which included sticky toffee pudding, banoffi pie, flourless chocolate cake, and meringue pie with raspberries and ice cream. They were hard to pass up. read more

Jim Edwards Restaurant - Monk fish was outstanding - Irish Near Me - Kinsale, Colorado

I liked my lasagna and merlot. My husband thought the burger portion was bigger than most restaurants here. Funnily enough - we accidentally spilled a drink on a couple and paid for their drink and then in return, after they found out it was our honeymoon, the couple covered our meal! read more

Jim Edwards Restaurant - Burger & lasagne - Irish Near Me - Kinsale, Colorado

We were in town on Mother's Day and were lucky to find a table here. The food was very well done and well presented. I had the monk fish as I love the texture. It was nice medallions lightly breaded and in a very nice sauce served with rice. The wife had the mussels. They were excellent, a huge bowl in a wonderful cream sauce. Served with fries and salad. The restaurant is a nice room and the service very good. I found out later that the original chef from here started fishy fishy wich is the predominant restaurant in town. This is a viable alternative if you can't get in there read more

Our first time here and in Kinsdale. There was a Rugby tournament this weekend so a lot of places were not serving good. Fortunately for us Jim Edwards was open and it did not disappoint. I haven't had a lot of oysters in my life but these were by far the best and the biggest. My wife had the chicken and it was amazing as well. Nice, chill, coastal vibe inside. And they do Whiskey flights! read more

Looking around town for a place to eat, and found this. It's a nice, quiet place, pretty roomy as well. Our server was nice, and it didn't take long to get our food. I got a burger, which I was craving, and really liked it. My family liked their food as well, and we want to stop again next time we come to Ireland. read more

Service was great and the drinks were delicious. Welcoming staff and a cozy environment.

Staff were friendly and welcoming. Extremely clean and overall a nice place to spend an afternoon.

We stumbled onto this restaurant during our trip to Ireland from the States. By FAR the best meal we've had. Steak cooked to perfection, juicy burger and a pork specialty that was absolutely delicious. Terrific wine and desserts. Service was beyond exceptional. Cannot recommend enough!!! read more

Good food served by nice people. Had fish and chips, wifey had veggie burger and junior had the burger. We were all very satisfied.

BEST RESTAURANT IN IRELAND! During a our romantic walk along Kinsale bay, an old friendly local Irishman walking his adorable terrier reccommended this restaurant...thank old man! We immediately got a table, but the place was pretty packed for off season so I'd make a reservation if you're coming in the summer. Three Course Meals for 25 euro...Best Deal in Ireland! Lots of choices! Course 1: Crab Cakes...mostly crab and barely any breading. Yum! Course 2: Sirlion Steak...FYI: all beef in Ireland is Grass Fed. Yum! (extra 3e) Course 3: Apple Pie with Cream...best Apple Pie! Better than anything in Julian, CA. 2 Course Meals for 20 euro... pick an Appetizer or Dessert. Wife got this. Course 1: Seafood Chowder...yum! Course 2: Pan Fried Hake...yum! Better than my steak... The meals also came with 3 sides to share: Chips, Steamed Veggies, and probably the best scalloped potatoes I've ever had!. 5.50euro wine glass for the wife, and a tasty 3.90 Beamish stout beer, kinda like a Guiness, for me. Nice service, and probably the best meal we had in Ireland! For only 56.40euro! I still have mouthgasmic fantasies about that Apple Pie... read more

Great little pub and restaurant in Kinsale. After a long day of driving this hit the spot for a late lunch. I opted for the Steak Sandwich with onions. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the onions had a great sauté to them. I didn't add anything to the sandwich and the juice from the meat and onions packed the roll with extra flavor. The roll was crunchy on the outside but super soft inside. The steak was sliced and not shoved so you ended up with big strips of meat in each bite. My son said the burger and the wings were great. My wife enjoyed the warm chicken and bacon salad. read more

Nice place priced a little better than some others in the area. Comfortable and casual. Highlights were the seafood chowder, salmon, and fish n chips for us. Made the mistake of getting wine when Guinness was available. That's like ordering Guinness in Napa valley. It's just hard to beat the local specialties. But that's not a reflection of the wine at all. If you are a veggie, you will find more options elsewhere, but there are a few items. My wife is a veg-cheat-arian and really liked the salmon. But she's back on the wagon now. My son, a more stubborn actual vegetarian enjoyed the veggie curry, and scalloped potatoes (which came with the salmon). I bet if you are creative, they could work with you to combine sides into a veggie entree, but we didn't try. They didn't offer any solutions either, other than pointing out the veggie dish that was available. It was nice that they take Amex and the staff was efficient, pretty friendly, and service was pretty quick. read more

Us and our friends had one of the best fish and chips on earth. Service was fast and our waiter was patient and wonderful. Great place!

We really enjoyed our meal and overall dining experience here at this classy Irish pub. The food was very good and reasonably priced, the service was pleasant. Oysters were very tasty as was the lamb and hake fish specials. read more

The food would have been better appreciated if the service wasn't so poor. My group of four was seated first in the dining room. After the dining room filled and other groups were receiving their meals we inquired about the timing of our food delivery. It appeared that the front end manager, who's dress shirt was soaked in sweat was unable to manage the front end. Good food, lousy service! read more

The food was ok, but the service was very very poor. We were a party of 4 seated in the dining room - the first people in this room. We got our drinks and our food order was taken....the dining areas filled up with people after that...our party was forgotten. No server came to refill drinks or serve our food, while everyone around us were attended to several times. After trying several times to get the attention of a server, we asked for our meals. Unfortunately one in our party did not get their meal as it wasn't prepared. The server said her meal was on the way out, but it wasn't delivered until the rest of us were done. We asked for another round of drinks to have with our dinner and they never came. We asked for our check and canceled the second round of drinks. We would not recommend this restaurant...it was a great trip to the area except for this experience. read more

Came here for dinner with my hubby and chose to do the three-course pre-fix which was a deal for only 27euro/pp. Starters: - Fried brie salad:** my favorite dish of the entire meal, soooo delicious! - Grilled crab cakes: standard, nothing out of this world Mains: - Roasted Chicken: Although the apricot orange glaze was tasty, the chicken was overdone leaving it very dry/difficult to swallow. - Baked fillet of salmon: delicious- loved the parmesan and herb crust. Dessert: - Chocolate fudge cake with icecream: delicious, but how could you go wrong with chocolate fudge cake? - Apple Pie: YUMMY! This pie was so fresh and unlike any other pie I have had in the US- instead of the standard pie crust, this pie resembled more of a buttery shortbread crust. It was delicious. Sort of like a apple-stuffed cookie! Overall, 3.5 stars** had my chicken not been over-cooked and dry, then I would say for sure they earned the 4 stars. read more

Excellent dinner upon our arrival in Kinsale. The oysters were meaty and delicious. The monkfish main was delightful. Great wine list and the meringue dessert topped off the evening. Would highly recommend read more

Worst experience of a 10-day Ireland trip. Arrived before the dinner rush on a Friday evening at 5:00pm and before any reservations were showing up. We did not have one but the dining room was empty except for one table and we only had a party of two anyways. The only time we were spoken to by staff was to take our order and when we were paying our bill. To even obtain our bill, we had to physically approach staff, otherwise we would have been waiting forever. Food was the most bland of the ENTIRE trip and it wasn't close. Pub food along the Wild Atlantic Way drastically puts this place to shame. Fish - No flavor. How this is possible in Kinsale is beyond me. Chips - Undercooked and a nice cardboard-like flavor. Burger - Overcooked (requested Medium but was basically well done), zero flavor, zero toppings, zero seasoning. The only reason we wanted any of it was because we were starving after walking around Kinsale for 7+ hours. I can understand understaffed places because we have seen them along our trip. This was not the problem. The place was empty and the staff acts and looks like they not only hate their job but also hate their customers. I am not sure where the good reviews came from but things must have really turned sour fast here. Avoid and find a place where they care at all. Great city though. read more

We both had the Seafood Chowder which was pleasantly flavored with many chunks of fish. We both gave it 5*. My wife ordered the Smoked Haddock which came with two fillets on a large plate. In the middle of the plate were mashed potatoes, covered with onions in a delicious beschmel sauce. My Chicken Liver Pate was very good, not too strong like some goose liver pate is. With a glass of Shiraz the check was 51.40. read more

Terrific find ! The seafood chowder was creamy and chock full of fresh fish . The brown bread was soft , chewy and fresh - perfect. My mate and I shared the fish and chips entree which was plenty . One large crispy coated tender fish fillet for each of us , served with homemade tartar sauce and fresh fries . We were delighted with our cozy and tasty Kinsale dinner . Very pleasant service , too. read more

I am from southern California and I have access to great seafood. After seeing the reviews for this place, I was excited to get some of the seafood dishes. First off, the service was pretty bad. Our waitress didn't come to our table until 8-10 minutes after we got in (even though there were only two other tables in the restaurant at the time). Her, as well as the rest of the waiting staff, were very flustered and frazzled. The water container had food on the outside and there was food on the floor near our table. As for the food, it was mediocre and disappointing compared to the reviews. I got the crab cakes and they were overcooked and did not taste like crab at all. The seafood chowder was mediocre. My mom got the vegetarian goat cheese dish and the salad was overdressed (the lettuce was soggy) and the goat cheese was bland. The ratio of puff pastry to goat cheese and tomatoes was way off. When I got the bill, the wrong items were on it and I had been overcharged. I had to walk to the counter to get it sorted out and it took at least 15 minutes. In addition, they were out of many of their drinks (beer and wine). Overall, this is not all it is cracked up to be and I would not suggest stopping here based on my experience. read more

Best meal I've had yet in Ireland. Got the hake on a bed of cooked spinach which was incredible. Split the crab cakes with my companion as a starter and they had a lovely cod dish. Together they came with tons of vegetables (yum) and we both had two delicious pints to wash it all down. For dessert we split the banoffie pie, and I had a glass of ruby port. All in all, SO good. I'd be back in a flash. Great atmosphere and service too. read more

We tried to eat in the bar but it was full so we went the restaurant and had their price fixe menu (2 courses for €20 or 3 for €25). We shared the baked mussels stuffed with breadcrumbs. They were so so - mostly breadcrumbs and nothing that special. However, we were really pleasantly surprised by the mains. He had the baked salmon in a breadcrumb and Parmesan crust and I had the pan fried hake. Both were cooked perfectly - fish was nice and flakey. They can with plenty of sides too: veg, chips and scalloped potatoes. We topped off the meal with a slice of their chocolate fondant cake and ice cream. Really yummy. We got a bottle of their Chilean red for only €18 too. Overall, great value and a nice meal. Service was fine although one of the waitresses was quite stern. Smile! It can't be all that bad. read more

1. Apple pie is out of this world.. I have no idea if it's homemade or how it's prepared but it is magically delicious. 2. Fried Brie - that is what's up. Granted you can get that sort of anywhere - my dad, brothers and I still talk about it today! 3. Everything is from a local farm slash surround area. All I can say is, if your an American tourist visiting the area I highly recommend stopping in. It is quaint and truly a phenomenal restaurant! read more

Jim Edwards was just what we were looking for. Kinsale is a beautiful little town, but after a day of driving and hiking around, we just wanted somewhere to eat a good meal in a casual place. Initially we had a hard time. It seemed like most of the places were very upscale and we felt underdressed. Jim Edwards has a cool nautical vibe. The place is very dim, and there were couples and families inside. The food was great, and the prix fix meals were a fantastic deal. The portions were large and everything we had was just delicious. If you're hungry, definitely get one of the prix fix meals for a great value. read more

Awesome Irish pub atmosphere, came here twice while in Kinsale for 3 days. First time sat at the small bar at the front and had a pint and a whiskey, solid pint at the right price. Next time sat down for meal, had fish and chips and the potato leek soup; both were good as you would expect but the star were the mushy peas, yum! The staff extremely friendly and welcoming, not a must see in Kinsale if you're short on time but highly, highly recommended if you need a "break" from the touristy spots read more

Food: they hit it out of the ballpark. We got the mussels appetizer and love it. Daughter-unit had her first Lobster here and loved it. Wife-unit had her first Duck and loved it. I had the pan fried hake, and loved it as well. Service: plenty friendly, and reasonable service time given the quality Price: reasonable, considering quality. Two and Three course are especially appealing Atmophere: Slightly upscale, at least for a fishing town - but what do you expect for the best restaurant in town? More seriously: casual clothing is find though. read more
