I had a good puréed vegetable soup and tea. My partner had a toasted ham, cheese, tomato and onion sandwich. The sandwich was good and the onion added a nice little bite. It was busy but the service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere and decor was typical of our Irish pub experience. On a Tuesday in November there are not a lot of options but this was a good one.

The food is amazing. The staff is absolutely friendly. It's your traditional Irish pub. I had the boiled bacon with parsley sauce and my boyfriend had the lamb with a side of mint jelly. They both came out amazing. The portion is huge and the price is fair. I feel like I'm getting such a steal. Definitely come enjoy some delicious food.

I can not say enough good things about this pub/restaurant in Cappamore, Limerick…read more I recently spent 8 days in Ireland and this was my "local" hangout. The food is excellent! Delicious, perfectly cooked meals with all the traditional Irish eats - grass-fed beef, chicken and pork with seasonal vegetables and of course, mashed potatoes. The food was certainly the draw to this pub in the beginning of our stay....a random selection for restaurants in the area..but, the food is not what kept me coming back. Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, the owners and operators of this establishment, are incredibly friendly, welcoming people. They took care of us! As Americans in a foreign land, they recognized that we were unfamiliar with how things are done in Ireland. During the week, the restaurants shut down around 430p making it almost impossible to find food in the country villages. On several occasions, they extended the dinner hours for me and my traveling companion and on one occasion, made us a dinner off-menu especially for us even when the restaurant had closed for the evening. J. Hayes Pub/Restaurant is special indeed. The food, the people, and the welcoming atmosphere of home is something that I have never experienced in all my travels abroad. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Hayes. You are exceptional people!

We…read morewere recommended by a local when we were on business to nearby town of Oola that this is where you get good food and not at rip-off prices. Its a remote spot at a road junction with plenty of parking with a big banner advertising their food range. Its home cooking at its best, with bacon & cabbage, roast chicken, home-made beefburgers in onion gravy, meat & mushroom pastry pies, curry dishes etc, all typical Irish dinners to feed many a farmer and weary traveller. There's an excellent special at €12.95 for a starter & main course, or main course and dessert which also includes tea or coffee. Otherwise, most mains are €8.95, start & desserts from €3.95. Vegetable soup was the starter and it was freshly made, very tasty, and the homemade brown bread was delicious. The beefburger smothered in onion gravy was good quality beef and its sides of crunchy fresh salad and hand-cut chips added to make for a hearty meal. A little dessert of the profiteroles between us was followed up with a pot of tea for two. We were well fed, attended to by a smiling young local girl, and chatted lightly with locals on a lovely sunny day. We hope to be back locally on business soon, and will look forward to next on the menu.

The vibe is classic Irish pub, the staff is friendly and welcoming and the Guinness is delicious! The outside is classic red and welcomes you right in, when you enter through the small door, you walk right into the bar which is flanked by small seating areas on the right and left. The only gripe is the bathroom was pretty rough, but this is a super old place...but next renovation should include the restroom for sure. Overall, loved Flannery's!
