Had a fabulous meal on the opening night of the New Menu. It's an expansive variety of food and a super gluten-free menu, which is great as I have coeliac disease and it is hard to get such a good menu like this one. The staff are lovely and helpful. Reasonable prices too. Definitely recommend a visit . Lovely atmosphere as well read more

This place is big. Alot bigger than I was expecting. If you love TGI's you will love this place. I don't unfortunately so it was a no from me. Menu ranges from burgers, wings etc..so great for groups and parties or if you just fancy a quick bite to eat. Lots of christening parties going on and outfits that would give "My Big Fat Gipsy Wedding" a run for it's money. My jeans and flats definitely weren't cutting it that day. Beer was brewed locally which is a trend I am happy to see getting bigger. They went down well so would go back to visit for drinks. read more

We have been going to JRB frequently for the last few years and I can say that we have never had a bad meal ; huge portions, great service , fun atmosphere . Great for families and friends! Despite COVID they continue to offer a great takeaway service . Thank you JRB for making these lockdowns a little more tolerable . read more

Lovely food and great portions My favourite thing to order is the chicken fajitas. Very tasty read more

When you and your companion are discussing how long one should wait for the bill after requesting it, before legally being allowed to saunter out the door without paying, it's not a good sign. Neither is the fact that we both had to studiously avoid the crunchy part of the Crunchy Chicken Salad as we didn't know what it was and it looked and tasted like something deep fried, unhealthy and unappetising. And the Guinness was a bit off. The waiters were friendly, the place was warm (a good thing considering the ice out there at the moment), and it was pretty busy. But there was something missing. Judge Roy Beans tries to be everything to everyone and ends up being the one who has a load of acquaintances but no real buddies. You'd go there but you'd have no reason to be faithful as it lacks the ambience of a cosy local pub and the efficiency and individual attention that comes with dining in a restaurant or café. The other time I came here was for the band they were featuring (King Modo). It was packed and the music was great. All types and age groups enjoyed the buzzing atmosphere. And we discovered that they served Havana Club, which isn't stocked in every pub, so that was a definite plus. It was free into the club upstairs before 12.30am. It would have been rude not to... The venue was spacious and the good tunes inspired us all to dance. A lot. I definitely wouldn't rush back here for the food or Guinness but I'd love to fill the dance floor with my friends and bop the night away between long gulps of Havana Club and Coke. read more

Have been using the takeaway service being offered by this restaurant and the food is well presented and very tasty . In normal times outside of COVID I would visit the restaurant amd the food is always good with great service. read more

Wonderfull experience with JRB. Love the food and the staff are always a pleasure, cant wait to head back after the lockdown ends.

The food was delicious. Beef tip pasta was good but very peppery. Buffalo chicken burger was good but I would eat it with mayo instead of the sauce it comes with. The ribs were very tender. My only complaint was it took too long. But it was sat night. The servers were very friendly. read more

Came in after shopping across the street. It was very crowded. Warned it would take a while just to order. It was worth it. Didn't wait too long, ordered the salmon, and a burger. Both items were delivered promptly and were absolutely delicious!!! Would definitely come back and recommend the place. It's great for children too. read more

It's Friday. I've had enough of canteen sandwiches so, lightheaded with excitement, I went to JRBs for lunch. Had been before a couple of times so knew exactly what to expect. It was quiet and service was efficient and friendly. Fairly extensive something-for-everybody menu with a whole separate menu for sandwiches. Steak, ribs, burgers, fish and chips, fajitas, quesadillas, 1/2 chicken. Etc etc etc. Not normally a good sign. A few things done well usually trumps a lot of things done poorly. However, I ordered ribs with Jack Daniels sauce and whilst the eponymous Jack probably wouldn't recognise it as such, it was nonetheless more than adequate for a solo lunch experience, the meat literally falling off the bones and the accompanying sizeable portion of chips and 'slaw providing excellent compliments. On previous occasions, I have tried several different dishes and have had little complaint. It's not fine dining so I'm judging it accordingly. It's a pub that serves food, it's not an 'occasion' place at all but, for what it does, it's hard to really fault it. The premises are vast and I expect the joint 'leps' on a busy Friday or Saturday night. And the pint of 'ken was just what the doctor ordered. read more

Great place for a night out with a partner for food, or to go with friends for drinks. I personally enjoyed the food as I love steaks, burgers, ribs, etc... the atmosphere is good and the restaurant itself is very warm. I personally didn't have any hassle with waiters, they are all really friendy and helpful, however I did sit myself to a table as there was no one at front of house, but that's not a problem to me. Waiting time is a bit long, but not to the point where I felt like leaving. the food is great and I've been many times, would go back again and probably will. read more

Will not be returning. Arrived at 6pm on Saturday, asked for a table for 2 left waiting for a good 10/15 minutes while it was discussed if they had a table or not. Terrible front of house service. Got a table and the waitress was overbearing from the get go -constantly checking if we were okay and generally annoying. Tables seating too near to each, felt like I was eating with the family of 4 next to us. Sent one meal back as it was the wrong order and should of sent the second back. Terrible quality of food. Odd aspect of being able to pay cash at the table but pay by card at the bar - where we had to wait another 10 minutes to try and pay. Terrible quality of staff, when paying we were asked if everything was alright, responded with not really and the staff member said nothing, didn't attempt to find out what was unsatisfactory - obviously not bothered about customer feedback. Do not know what all the fuss about this establishment is, won't catch me in there again. ( in order to post I had to rate it 1 star, in reality I'd give it no stars) read more

Saw it had 5 stars basically on trip advisor, its like a worse version of chilis, everything was pretty bad

Went in here for lunch with my boyfriend and had a few problems with the place. It was around 12.30 on a Saturday. No one at front of house to seat us at a table so we took a seat at an empty table, on the tables there are little buttons that say "call for service" so we pressed the button and then waited about ten minutes for someone to see to us. The staff were quite nice but just didn't really seem to care or didn't have the correct training about basic customer service. The food took forever to come out and when it did it was average at best. I got the pulled pork sandwich which was just pulled pork smothered in a generic barbecue sauce and served on a ciabatta with some very limp lettuce. I get that its a pub and that the quality of the food is going to be pretty average but I paid nearly €15 and expected a little more for that price. Asking for anything took at least twenty minutes. Our waitress left us with the bill which took her about 15 minutes. After sitting there for another 15 minutes waiting for her to come back we decided to pay at the bar. I was paying with debit card and after I typed my pin I was told it didn't work and was asked to put the transaction through again. After I typed my pin for the second time I asked what the problem was and the person behind the bar told me that the machine had run out of paper so it cancelled the transaction. Having worked in service/retail for the past four years I know that if the machine doesn't have paper that transaction still goes through so I asked her if she was sure it didn't go through because I didn't want to get charged twice. She then said she was "nearly sure" it cancelled the transaction. I then checked my bank account online and sure enough I had been charged twice. I went back to the bar and explained to them what had happened and they got a manager. He was very apologetic and told me he would refund it straight away, so he picked up a receipt he found on the bar and refunded €34 onto my card, I told him that wasn't my receipt and as I had clearly shown him on my bank statement I had been charged 43.85. He apologised again and refunded another €10 onto the card. I think the staff were nice I just don't feel they received any proper training and they all seemed pretty miserable. I won't be returning again. read more
