Champion Meats, also known as Donie O'Keeffe's, is a great butcher with a good selection. They are…read morea bit more expensive than some of the others in town, but they offer somethings you can't get elsewhere. The burgers here are made from steak and are the leanest in town. They also offer steak mince, which is second to none. I am also a fan of their selection of sausages, They offer a nice selection of sausages you won't find anywhere else either. Again, you will pay a bit more for these items, but if you are looking for the best quality ingredients and are prepared to pay a bit more for them, this is the place to get them sure.

It was actual bbq! first the corn on the cob was actually grilled not all bland and boiled, burnt end beans were nice side to accompany fall off the bone ribs. Only wish they had some sort of beef brisket and bone marrow mash potatoes would put this establishment on the map if done right. Will definitely try this place again when looking for good local bbq

After a longggggggg day driving we were starving and in need of something warming and hearty. Oh…read morehello Irish stew. It was gone 9pm when we got into Cruises and we were a tad worried they would have stopped serving food but the lovely waitress informed us that they we all good to go and quickly took our order of two Irish stews, a Guinness and a wine. The food came out quickly and pipping hot! It was everything we wanted it to be - plenty of meat, veg and 2 different types of potato! YES. My only negative would be that it needed a bit more juice to it. I ended up asking for some extra gravy but my gosh, I'm glad I did. Possibly the best gravy I've ever had. It was a rich, and thick red wine gravy. It was amazing and when mixed in with the stew, I was in true Irish heaven. Pass me the bread it's time to mop this up! Alex then fancied a dessert and opted for the crumble. I had a spoonful or two and I must say it was very nice. Not usually my kind of dessert but it was sweet and the ice cream creamy. Very nice. The pub itself is very traditional Irish, they had live music playing and the atmosphere and decor was warming with the dark woods and warming fire. Lovely. Overall we had a lovely evening and the bill came to just €35. Bargain.

Well known as a trad pub with great live music at the weekends. Last time I was in there saw a band called araby do a version of florence and the machines cosmic love and honestly thought it was a cd. Great atmosphere especially at weekends and it stays open late. Along with knoxs it would probably be the most consistently busy pub in ennis. Also the crowd is slightly older as most of the young ones head into the nightclub. Well worth a visit when in ennis

I gotta say I struggle with writing a review for a place that I have only tried once, but seeing as…read morethis was in Ireland and I will probably not be back in awhile - I'm gonna go ahead and write it. I should note that this is owned by the man who owned the AirBnB that we stayed in and due to many problems with the home - he comped us dinner for the night which was appreciated. We also were a group of 13 and they are fairly new to being opened as I understand. The menu is good and we had a good variety of food at the table. Unfortunately I think that we were just too big of a group for one person - there was many little things that seemed to go wrong but which also affected the enjoyment of the food. I know that when I ordered - I had the burger and fries. I was very clear when I ordered that I liked ketchup and needed a lot of it and she assured me I would have it. I ordered the appetizer fries to come with my meal which were a parmesan truffle fry. I had to ask at least 3 times to get ketchup and was so frustrated because I had my meal for 25 minutes before any ketchup was brought - oddly they had delivered some to the opposite end of the table - but even then it was only 3 little dishes. I say this all the time - stop serving ketchup in those little containers and put it on the table for people to use as they see fit and not have to beg for it. Honesltly my burger was okay - but it was so cold by this time that I can't even really give a fair judgement of it. The truffle fries were also disappointing - just fries covered in parmesan - couldn't see any truffle oil or taste it. Several people in our group were very happy with their meals - but several of us were not. My brother was frustrated because he had also ordered soup and none was every brought. The big hit of the night was the espresso martini - they were delicious. We got desserts to go and again - some were very happy with them but most were not. I had a berry truffle if I remember right and it was honestly delicious. I think one of my siblings commented on how common the menu was appearing - many places seem to have a similar menu - it's like they are catering to travelers but it's also a little disappointing because they have replaced some American food to satisfy travelers but you struggle to find some of the basics that travelers are looking for as well - Irish stew, cottage/Shepard's pie, boiled ham and cabbage. While I appreciate the efforts there was frustrations in the food - at one point they were trying to deliver the food and it was very unorganized - the woman who had taken the order was not part of delivering it - so they would just come to the table and start asking who ordered the dish they were carrying - one was a side salad and I asked if it had French dressing (which had been requested) and after 3 times of going back and forth the person delivering the food said, 'sure, whatever when I asked if it was the one with French dressing. Appreciate that the meal was free but honestly I left feeling like if I lived there I would give them another try just to see if they could get past the hiccups that come with a new restaurant but it would not be for awhile and honestly I would hesitate to return.
