The Caragh Restaurant & Bar - Irish Near Me - Killarney, Kentucky

One of the best desserts can be found at this Killarney Restaurant and its gluten free. My girlfriend searched out restaurants in Killarney that serve Irish Beef Stew without Guinness in it as she cannot have gluten, and Guinness has gluten in it. The place was packed which was a good sign and we quickly ordered our meals as we were starving. The Beef Stew came with three different servings of potatoes and from what I recall it was decent. What made this meal really exceptional was the dessert. Warm banana pie with delicious cold ice cream. Over the span of our 15-day trip in Ireland this was either my favorite dessert or tied as my favorite dessert for the trip. Also, this restaurant is in a very nice shopping area that you can easily walk and shop for hours in after your meal. As always people SYOY!!! read more

My family decided to eat at Caragh so that my sister could try the famed 'Cottage Pie' as a specialty here. She absolutely loved it, however I wouldn't say that it's the best I've had. My mother was also able to try the seafood pie which had large chunks of white fish spread throughout but balanced with a white cream sauce, she liked her dish as well. I tried the homemade lasagna which was good as expected. All of the dishes here are offered at a very fair price and filling for what you get. You can't really walk away hungry after a meal at Caragh, and you won't break the bank either. read more

Tasty food but not a huge fan of the service. This was not exactly one of my favorite restaurants. I struck out on this one. Again, the food is good but I take points off for lackluster service and an unfriendly service who was snarky and borderline rude. Prices were high as well. read more

My friend and I stumbled on the Caragh Restaurant our first night in Killarney and it turned out to be our favorite meal thus far of our week in Ireland. I had the Cottage Pie paired with a local Kilarney helles lager and it was just perfect (gotta love entrees with 3 servings of potatoes!). My friend got the lamb shank and it was fall-off-the bone tender; I'm not a big fan of lamb but I tried a bite and would definitely order it. We got seated immediately (on a Monday night) and the staff was very nice with recommendations and service was excellent. The interior may not fit the classic mental picture of an Irish pub, but the food and service are why you need to visit here...highly recommended! read more

Service was efficient and prompt. Generous portions for the cottage pie and large house salad. Salad had a variety of greens and vegetables and fruit. Please note: salad come with black and green olives in case this is not your taste. Side vegetables with the cottage pie a nice touch as most serve only the pie. Tipping may be making its way to Ireland. We were asked if we wanted to leave a tip on the card. Nice place to eat. read more

The Caragh has a family restaurant atmosphere and very friendly staff. I specifically picked this restaurant because of the variety of vegetarian options, but they have traditional Irish favorites too. Portions are ample and the food came out fast. Wifi is free but spotty. I got the Vegetarian Panini, which came with fries and a salad. Fries were slightly crispy and cooked to perfection. The salad was more of a vegetable medley that included coleslaw, corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, fruit, and greens. I'm not much of a coleslaw fan, but this one was pretty good. The panini was filling and I had enough to eat half of it for lunch the next day. They also had lots of amazing looking dessert options, but we were too full. (Sad!) The other impressive thing about The Caragh is that the prices were very reasonable here, maybe more so than any other restaurant we ate at in Ireland. Give it a try! read more

Let's be honest, one of the highlights of visiting Ireland is the food. And we wouldn't think of wasting our precious time visiting a restaurant without either a local recommendation, or without first scouring reviews. Some panned out, some didn't. The Caragh Restaurant, chosen by the reviews, definitely panned out. My travel partner and I both agreed that this was our favorite dinner spot of our trip. Not only was the food top-notch -- omg, the panko crusted fried brie! -- but the service was fantastic. There were only two ladies serving the full restaurant and we never felt that we were left unattended or that our server was rushed at all. She even made small talk and was pleasant all around. Our only regret was that we didn't eat here the first night we were in Killarney, too. read more

What a find and what a fine place! I got to Killarney late after nearly 20h of travel from the US. I wasn't too hungry when I got here so I did some walking round, and then I had an important call. All things considered, I only freed up by 10pm! I was worried that no places would be serving food this late, and when I asked at one pub a waitress told me that my only options were fast food take-out. So, I was pleasantly surprised by my stumble into Caragh. It was still a vivacious atmosphere at 10pm, and I was not only attended to promptly, I was served quite quickly thereafter. My shepherd's pie was delicious - and gluten-free - as was the local craft cider that I had alongside it. And even though it was close to closing time, the entire staff was really friendly and nice. Do drop in for a hearty Irish meal sometime and you'll thank yourself! read more

Rock solid Irish restaurant in the heart of downtown Killarney. Lots of locals mixed in with tourists so you know the food is good! The best beef stew I've had in Ireland so far and great service to top it off. Make sure and stop by when you're in the area. read more

Restaurant staff are bizarrely hostile in a way i have never encountered before. I had a particularly negative interaction with the manager, Colette, and have been told by others that this is common behaviour from staff at this restaurant. Absolutely would not recommend. read more

Food was limited and mediocre, service was fine but restaurant only had 2 other tables when we were there. A bit dated. Not a place I would return to in the future. Just okay. read more

Very good food. Lamb shank and seafood pie was excellent. Service was good. Quaint location.

Had the fried brie, cottage pie, and carbonara; everything was just okay. The service was mediocre, our waitress rushed to take our order and then we hardly saw her again. read more

Incredible Cottage Pie, and the service was wonderful. Would definitely come back next time we're in Killarney read more

After spending 8 days in Ireland I decided that this was by far my favorite meal! We chose this restaurant because it was off the Main Street and consequently the prices were way lower. I ordered the lamb shank which is one of their specials. It came out in pretty good time and was literally fall of the bone. I love that it was a good about of meat for the price. The sides were slightly lacking in flavor but the lamb truly made up for it. Service was fast and friendly and the restaurant was clean with a casual ambiance. My friend has the lasagna and was very satisfied with her selection. Tip: if you're not from around here, just note that you pay for your meal at the hostess stand. A lot of Irish places are like that or pay at the bar. read more

We were on a guided tour of Scotland and Ireland and most of our evening meals were included as part of the tour package. However, while in Killarney, we had a rare free evening where we were on our own for dinner. We were looking for something "classic Irish" when we found the Caragh Restaurant and Bar. Since most of the restaurants posted their menus, we were able to peruse several menus until we found what appealed. Personally, I was looking for Shepherd's pie while my wife was looking for seafood. Caragh had us both covered -- Shepherd's pie for me and Dingle breaded scampi for the wife. Both the service and the food were excellent. My only surprise was when I ordered Shepherd's pie and the waitress asked if I wanted mashed potatoes or french fries. I commented that I thought Shepherd's pie was always done with mashed potatoes on top and the waitress replied that she was asking about my "side". So, I had a very good, very traditional Shepherd's pie with a side order of French fries. You gotta give the Irish credit - they do love their potatoes. Great place for dinner. read more

Based on the reviews we decided to give this restaurant a try. I ordered the sirloin steak and there were no seasoning at all. The same goes with the mashed potatoes. Disappointed. read more

Outstanding place in Killarney. They sat us immediately. The staff was warm and friendly and quick with a joke. The food was yummy. Two of us had the sirloin. It was spot on. It comes with either Garlic Butter or Pepper Sauce (peppercorn). I recommend the Pepper Sauce it complimented the steak perfectly. My wife had the Stuffed Turkey and Ham and she loved it. My in-laws had the Beef Lasagne and they very much enjoyed it. My son had the Burger and he complained about the cheese but is a super picky person and doesn't particularly like Brie. I highly recommend this place to anyone near pr around Killarney! read more

I had a decent veggie lasagna at Caragh, but overall the whole place felt like a typical tourist restaurant without much charm. They also have a weird insistence on ordering two full sides with each main, even if you only want one. It's silly, and yet the waitress held up the entire order until a reluctant member of our party agreed to a second side dish. It's almost stupid to even mention it, but it was strange enough that it stuck with me. read more

An unexpected gem!! The staff was extremely friendly. The food was very reasonably priced--if not a bargain for what you get. Not to mention how amazing the food was. We definitely ate more than we needed to, but it was fabulous. Forgot to take a picture of the deep fried brie, but highly recommend. read more

My friends and I were on the hunt for a delicious, yet reasonably priced dinner place as we walked around downtown Killarney. The Caragh stood out and looked warm and welcoming from the street. At 7:00 p.m., it was packed with patrons enjoying their homecooked meals. They were able to accomodate a group of 8 and set up a table for us within 10 minutes. What caught my eye was the amazing 3 course meal option for 20€. I decided on the baked brie with cranberries for my appetizer, the lamb shank for my main, and the apple pie for my dessert. The main came with either a side salad or side of cooked vegetables, and choice of potato either chips or mash. Everything was absolutely delicious. Definitely enough food to feed 2 people so come hungry if you want to take on the 3 course meal. I left feeling full and happy and like I had just eaten a home cooked meal made by my grandmother. If she could only cook this well! read more

The fish pie is carbs galore. There are three scoops of potatoes on top and it comes with a side of another three scoops of potatoes. Along with the fish at the bottom of the dish, there are also mussels and clams. The seafood in it tasted fresh and overall the dish was flavorful. But because it was such a gargantuan portion, I felt like I was Adam Richman on Man vs. Food after the first half. Needless to say, I couldn't finish it all. Try the Bailey's cheesecake! I'm not sure if they make it in house but whoever made it definitely put a generous helping of Irish cream in there! No complaints there! read more

This place was amazing! My husband and I have been traveling through Ireland and we have had to eat out every meal!!! This food tasted like it was made with passion and love. We had the Brie appetizer with cranberry sauce, which was a great starter. We both ordered the Shepard's Pie and WOOOOOW WE LOVED IT. I got the side salad and veggies for my side which was a nice fresh crunch with the Shepard's pie. Staff was very kind and was all reasonably priced!!! read more

I really love this place. It is family owned, it is cozy, it won't break the bank, and the food is good, comfort food... Irish style. In September, I ordered the Kerry Corned Beef with cabbage and it was the BEST corned beef I have ever had!!!! It was tender and the flavor was really lovely. Of course the veg and the mashed potatoes are always a great addition to whatever main you choose. This past visit, I had the Seafood Chowder to start with and the stuffed Pork Loin. Now, I'm a bit picky with seafood... meaning that I like fish, scallops, and shrimp, but that's about it, however for some reason the Seafood Chowder was really calling my name. I think it is because I have been craving Clam Chowder (yes, I eat around the clams) and that isn't normally on menus here in Europe. Without asking the waitress exactly what was in it, I ordered it. The brown bread was quite bitter, but the Seafood Chowder was... AMAZING! There was salmon, an unidentifiable white fish, smoked fish, tiny shrimp, mussels, and maybe cockles... I did eat the mussels and they were cooked just right. I seriously thought about just ordering another bowl of the chowder and calling it a night. The stuffed pork was nice, but nothing special... in fact it didn't really stand a chance after that amazing Seafood Chowder. Love the place, you should stop in... have the Seafood Chowder with a roll, if they have the Kerry Corned Beef and Cabbage on the menu, have that as well. You'll be glad you did! read more

A friendly and authentic Irish restaurant. The shepard's pie was tasty and authentic, but served with some of the blandest boiled vegetables I've ever had. The vegetarian pasta dish was a bit one note. However, the burger was juicy and got the best marks of any dish we had for lunch. read more

Stopped in for dinner without reservations and they were able to accommodate our party. The atmosphere here is warm and inviting and the food is savoy with large portions. We were even able to order dessert to-go. This restaurant deserves higher ratings as I found the menu to be better suited to all members of the party than many of the other spots in town that had been recommended. read more

I dunno- maybe I just don't "get it," but this spot was fully lackluster. Food was priced reasonably, this is very true, but as for personal preference of taste-- not my favorite. Everyone's dishes were just "okay" with the exception of the Shepherds Pie-- this was very good. However, unfriendly service and just an "eh" meal made us feel like we missed an opportunity elsewhere. Could have been an off night-- in a forum of 4 stars, I'm sure my 2 is the exception and not the rule read more

I had one night in Killarney and I needed to make it count. I took a chance on Caragh and it paid off big time. First of all, it's cheaper than most of the restaurants in town and the portions are enormous. I ordered the recommended Fish Pie and my boyfriend ordered the Shepherd's Pie. Both were a resounding success. Both dishes came with a choice of side salad or vegetables and a choice of boiled potatoes or fries. The Fish Pie was delicious, with several types of white fish, mussells, etc, mixed with a creamy sauce and topped with whipped potatoes. It came out hot and was a great deal at 12.95 euro. My boyfriend loved the Shepherd's Pie which was 11.95 euro. The waitressess are all very friendly and the vibe of the restaurant is casual. Please note, however, they don't take credit cards! If you also have one night in Killarney, give Caragh a shot! read more

Ate at this place last night. The helpings were plenty and the leg of lamb was fantastic. My wife and I both got it and it was probably the best lamb we have ever had. The mint sauce was perfect. Then the veggies and potatoes came right out and topped it all off. I forgot to mention that we had a first course choice of a salad(wife) and a deep fried Brie cheese(me). By the time dessert came, we had been filled to the max! I chose apple pie, with both fresh cream and ice cream, because the wonderful lady who served us told me to treat myself. So I did! I've like I said before, I've had lots of lamb before, and this place nailed it spot on. But not just with the lamb, with all of the food. Highly, HIGHLY recommend this place for anyone. The menu looked plentiful and had a wide variety of things to eat. Stop in and give this place a try! read more

My travel group choose this place to eat. I had the veg. Lasagna with vegetables and salad. Salad was ok minus the potato salad on it. Vegetables and lasagna were really hot making me think they were microwaved. The menu says homemade. Not a lot of veggie in the lasagna. Payed 16.95 not overpriced for Ireland but I would not go Back. The place was busy for Wednesday maybe I just ordered the wrong thing for a vegetarian. read more
