    Ribs with coleslaw and yummy side salad
    Zara N.

    Ruby's in Swords is a handy place to re-charge the batteries if you've found yourself with shopper's fatigue after a stint in Pavilions. It's a family restaurant (be warned, each time I've eaten here the place is mobbed with kids so if you're not a fan of the little blighters and their propensity to make a ruckus, steer clear!!) that serves up pizza, pastas, burgers, BBQ and the like. The salads are really good, other options I've had, such as the veggie burger weren't all that, being honest. Word on the ribs... they're belly ribs so you get far more meat but they're much fattier than their baby-back counterparts- personally, I can't say I loved them! Ruby's is superior to the other options in the shopping centre but as they're mainly fast-food outlets it's not all that surprising. I would return if I found myself needing sustenance during a shopping stint but mainly because of the lack of other suitable options.

    The goats cheese sandwich and fries
    Sam R.

    Ruby's in the pavilions, swords, more a 3.5 star rating here. A handy spot for a bite, mid- shopping spree or just if passing by, as its accessible from the road also. It has a nice vibe about it decor wise. I found the staff could be a bit more welcoming however. Myself and my friend with her sleeping baby decided to grab a bit of lunch here today while we had a time to catch up especially while she was fast asleep. There was plenty of room for the pram which was great. We'd a good natter while we waited for our food. We were impressed with the lunch menu and the value deals they were offering. I'd opted for the goats cheese and mushroom sambo and fries and a Diet Coke all for €9.50- great value! My friend got the burger with fries and fanta for €10.00 we were really impressed with the price! Her burger looked huge and filled with all the wants you'd wish for. The fries were crispy and hit the spot. My 'sandwich' however was more like a pizza calzone or pitta/flatbread. It was tasty and very big in size and I couldn't complain to much. I just think it would have suited a different bread better. Overall it's nice for a bite especially lunch as it looked to be great value. Offering different sandwiches, burgers and fish and chips. You could also choose a side salad or tea and coffee with your meal. Worth a visit if local.

    Soya and sesame chicken wings

    Sometimes it's a little harder to give an objective view on a place if you're using a voucher on your sole visit to a spot. My partner had been here before twice and found it average enough on both visits. I had picked up a Living Social voucher for 10 chicken wings to share and two pizzas and a drink each. So with a little tributation I entered...... And I was pleasantly surprised!! We had to wait a short time for a table but nothing outrageously long. The decor was good, lots of specials and cocktail menu in particular caught the eye with some unknowns that I'd really like to try sometime. We went for the soya and sesame coated wings which were stickly delicious. For the pizza, I had the Rubys Special which had pulled pork, mixed peppers, red onion, BBQ sauce, smoked cheese and coleslaw. Coleslaw!! On a pizza!!!!! Indeed. And it was pretty wonderful at that. Best place to eat in The Pavilion by a long shot. I'll be back, voucher or not :)

    Nice place, good food, good serving and music not too loud. Nice decorations for Halloween. Close to Pavilions (where you can park the car)

    I was greatly surprised to find an authentic BBQ joint in Dublin, but here you have it. Don't miss…read morethis place if you are craving smoky meats, creamy Mac 'n Cheese, and sweet & savory sauces. We purchased the platter which included Ribs, Brisket, Pulled Pork and Wings. Came with two sides, so I had to try the Mac n' Cheese and Baked Beans and it also included fresh dinner rolls. Ribs - smokey and tender. I would love to go back during the lunch rush when they come out fresh, but since we were there around 20:00, they had been sitting for a while. But even though they had been sitting, they were still amazing. They were glazed perfectly, and the tender, juicy meat was amazing. Some would say "fall of the bone" are the best, but that just means they are overcooked. These ribs had just the right amount of tenderness. So amazing. Brisket - also amazing. Had a perfect smoke ring, and was tender and juicy. The slices had the perfect pull, and were so deliscious. Pulled Pork - tender, juicy and succulent. Not mushy as sometimes can happen if it sits too long. This pork was simply amazing. Smokey, moist and perfect. I added some of the BBQ sauce, and it was simply deliscious. Chicken wings - cooked to perfection. Also asked for them to be dry so that we could try the different sauces. So tender and juicy. Mac n' Cheese - sometimes places will have a big pan and will just scoop it out onto the plate. Not here at Smonin' Bones. They make it fressh and put it into a dish, add some extra cheese on top and then broil it. So yummy. I could have eaten a lot more of it. Baked Beans - probably my least favorite of the night. The beans were a little under-done, so they had a little bit of a crunch. But the flavor was good. Keep working on that. Overall a wonderful, delightful surprise.

    Love this place ! Visited Dublin from the USA…read more NEVER thought I'd find BBQ like this in Ireland ! Excellent ! Great sauces too ! The Ribs were perfect The sides were great ! Next time I travel to Dublin I'm stopping here :)

    My friends, it's been a while since I've criticised a humble food seller.. I have been away and…read moreback again, distracted by a fair wench that I have now made my wife..Anyways, I'm back to excersise my creative wordology in 2025 and hopefully continue on with the book I'm writing about my misadventures. SO, Without further adue, let's lay into armPitts Brother's BBQ... It was a Saturday morning when uncle Phil arrived at my door, 6am as agreed, the gentlemen are back in Ireland so we thought we'd celebrate with a full day drug fueled pig out. No, I'm not talking about the kind you might arrange with the chubster mauling her lipstick stained fish bowl glass in Whelans at the end of an evening of debauchery.. I'm a married man now, Sir.. No, we were on a mission to consume as much smoked dead animal, coffee, pints, and antibiotics as we could before his dad came to collect him. FOR HE IS A MAN OF LIMERICK, and a kind soul - rare to find in those westerly parts. My spouse and sprog were also dressed for social warfare determined to keep up with the appetite of the warlords recently returned to the Fatherland.. Seated in the middle of the hall, a pedestal raised for the show ahead. My woman spotted her kin working the rounds and bent up to query her nationality. A match! A southerly piriguete ready to do our bidding and translate everything off the menu - CORN ON THE COBS for everyone in the audience. Do I have your attention?! Do I still have your attention? .. my meat is getting cold resting on the table while the kitchen gremlins in the back fetch water for the table next to us.. Eventually, it arrives, and I'm not surprised.. It's exactly what I ordered.. The same brisket that keeps popping up on my youtube feed every time I look for bbq recipes.. yeah, OK, it's grand, it melts in my face.. job done. I'll take the bloating diarrhoea to go, please, and a can of Fantana for the babee.. Hold up, there's 1 plate not touched.. Uncle Phil's better half. Sitting there with half a dead cow in front of her that's so dry, I wouldn't fuck with it myself without a ramicken of boner marrow to lube up that bitch. Send it back! Feed it to the animals! I'm not paying! My wife's new friend drags it's off by the ankle to have a whine and a moan about it with the chefs and pop! Another one comes sliding across the table. I look back, and cheeky Little Miss Fortaleza has already left, not even a goodbye.. We're all done at this stage too so Uncle Phil's wife has a choice, walk around town with a dead animal in her pocket all evening til munch time, or eat it in front of us while we counting down the minutes before Phil's dads gotta come and pick him up.. tick tick tick.. decision time.. "Table service of 10% is included with groups of 4+.." Oh, that's reallll clever.. Raaeeell bad man.. what if we're not satisfied? Well my friends.. this is where yelp comes in.. the customer is king in the world.. You! small businesses.. You will never be able to silence the disgruntled pedestrians.. I hearby call upon all mammals of Dublin City and visiting beasts of Limerick, do not accept the surcharge! Also, ask for water when you walk in, all the free sauces and all the kings men - I'm gonna shit up the walls in your restroom again.. and fill my bags with complimentary toilet paper! Maybe even a lucozade bottle of soap while I'm there.. Today, a valuable lesson was learned.. Small businesses are ready for you when you walk in the door, like lambs walking into a slaughterhouse.. how didn't we see it coming.. we all know the landlords have em all by the balls, so they gotta pass it on to us and squeeze you, we're at the bottom of a pile of sweaty men, and when it's lunch time, it's crunch time.. but now.. I'm pissing upstream.. Next stop is Bah33 for my wife's birthday.. all you can eat.. mother fcukers.. I'm coming for you.. I'm gonna eat the day before to stretch my stomach, then eat nothing on the day, just hit the park beforehand for a run and a doobskin. Is there a limit on how much tap water they'll allow you? Cos I'm filling up a 5L.. custom briefs to keep tight you take aways around your saucey ghoulies.. the revolution is here and will be televised! The revolution starts neigh! Speak out and cream out! I won't stop until all small businesses are shut and we're all cooking Nigella and ordering bulk meat on the Internet! Why eat out for 30 bills when you can spend that on poteen and kill your own venison in Phoenix Park! I'm telling ye, there's some quare things in Dublin- Between Howth and Crumlin, down in ringsend there's a 3 legged cat.

    The service was so good! Everyone was really kind and attentive. The free ice cream was a plus :-)…read more I ordered the brisket, beans, and mash.

But this place advertised Texas style BBQ so I decided to give it a try. The service was good, friendly, and fast. The interior was quant, simple but gave off vibes of being a BBQ spot.

We tried the beef ribs, pulls pork, quarter chicken, and sides of coleslaw and Mac and cheese. Hands down the best thing was the Mac and cheese.

I ordered a mixed meat box and unfortunately they were out of several items. Common in a BBQ place later in the day and especially with a large party. The pork was kind of greasy and had a liquidy consistency which was odd. Flavor was ok. The brisket really excelled cooked perfectly!! Sides were pretty good and as expected. I like the the bbq sauce which was unique, possibly horseradish mixed in. Beer list was pretty good. I would definitely recommend and suggest come earlier when menu is all available
