We ordered Fish and Chips and BBQ ribs. The service was as friendly as anywhere we visited in Ireland, but the food was incredible.

Technically not wrong, but misleading on purpose. My friend ordered a medium steak for thirty euros and they gave it to her well-done. The fries were the best part of the meal. I saw one of the employees--presumably the manager--chug two drinks on the job??? Is that legal????? The food took a long time getting there and we had to wait 10 minutes before we even got into the building, so it's not very accommodating for a group of people. The chairs were comfortable and the employees seemed nice, but most of them very much didn't know what they were doing.

The servers were friendly and talkative, as many of the Irish. The chowder is think and full of delicious fish. The fried calamari was really tasty, and not greasy. The halloumi salad was also great, with a generous amount of cheese. This pub is a perfect example of the evolution of pubs in the country, serving much higher quality food than in times past. Our dessert of over cream with chocolate cake was soooo good.

The chicken sandwich on white bread however was US grade-school cafeteria level in effort. And came with potato chips. Think wonder bread, boiled chicken breast and BUTTER! My wife's tuna salad was as tasteless. Not good value, lacking taste and topped with total lack of service. This is a place I will not remember from my trip. I try to support local small business, particularly when traveling. But this place really disappointed us. Avoid.

We decided to try An Corcan on the first visit, as we returned to Sneem from a trip to Skelligs Chocolate, and came upon its cheery, colorful facade in Waterville right around lunch time. We were so impressed with this little place that we actually made a point of returning on our second visit to Ireland. An Corcan's interior is just as cheery and welcoming as its exterior. It almost seems like a little tea house, with lace tablecloths and bud vases on each table. The service is so affable and hospitable; I get the feeling not too many tourists dine at An Corcan, and we were welcomed in the typical Irish manner, with broad smiles, good-natured banter, and plenty of questions about where we were from. The food at An Corcan is surprisingly good, given its off-the-beaten-path location in an off-the-beaten-path town. It has an interesting mix of Irish pub fare (cream of vegetable soup which is lovely, roasts and fish and chips which hit the spot, and the famous Irish "toasted special," in this case a combo of ham, cheese, tomato and onion), and American bar food (chicken wings which we didn't bother to sample, chicken curry salad which was actually a big hit with our group, and burgers). There's something for everyone at An Corcan. If we find ourselves in Waterville again, we will definitely return -- for the homey, welcoming atmosphere with cheery service; for the simple, delicious food; and for the reasonable prices.
