Stop in on the bad weather very cold day by chance. Greeted with a smile placed on very clean. Drinks order taken straight away. Menu was not overwhelming plenty of choice and great prices . Nothing was a bother and food portions plenty . Will recommend and go back

Had meal in Restaurant on 21st Aug about 8pm. I had the Peppered chicken, others had Curry chicken. Service was excellent. Food was delicious, perfectly cooked, presented, warm. Good portion sizes. Prices normal for 2023. Have never had poor experience at Kelly's.

Honestly awful food. So disappointed and would not return. Starter of soup ok with rolls that weren’t warmed. Dinner, vegetables overcooked and tasteless, gravy flavourless, mash potatoes tasteless and no seasoning. Serving staff pleasant but arrived with mains when soup bowls still on the table.

Went tonight and ordered the veg stir fry came out with blue mold tortilla. Called the waitress over to tell her about tortilla no apology just offered another wrap or garlic bread which was declined. When my friend went to pay she commented on the waitresses attitude to the staff member she was paying. 5 minutes later the original waitress came to the table to tell me she had offered me another wrap or garlic bread I said yes she did but her casual response initially made it seem that this was a normal occurrence at Kelly’s. Verbally attacking a customer who did not complain about the waitress is not very professional…

We stayed here for a birthday treat for my sister in law. Rooms were fine, comfortable with everything needed. Had to phone over to the restaurant to have the heating put on and no hot water the next morning for a shower, we had booked to stay here as the website clearly showed a pool table but when we arrived it is no longer there which was very disappointing. Staff all helpful and friendly and food really good. Breakfast was great, plenty of choice. The spar next to it is handy with an off-licence if needed. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but website needs updating to the facilities included.

Called in for a light meal on Saturday night. Even though they were busy and had a birthday party with 12 or more people in restaurant, there was no problem being given a table for 3. Servers are very pleasant and on the ball with looking after the customer.We were given menus nearly immediately, within minutes server returned to take order. Food arrived in good time and an order with several dishes and sides was served perfect, no need to ask for items that were forgotten etc. A sign of a well run business with top class, friendly staff. You can always tell a good business by how they look after their customers, Kelly's never fail. Food was delicious, well cooked and perfectly warm. Very reasonable prices for top class food.

It's a very Irish thing, the compulsion to load as much on a plate as possible rather than concentrate on quality. Everything we had(a party of 9) was fine. It was just huge. Paid it all back, concentrate on quality more and you could go from a 6/10 to a 9/10 really easily. Enough chips to ballast a cruise liner

The staff were very professional and courteous with their masks and new procedures around seating and eating. The food was also very good, steaks at 4.00pm, great, cooked and served with the same professionalism as a busy Saturday night, we were all very happy and went for sweets to spoil ourselves and pay something back.

Arrived, to a clean, welcoming entrance, the bathroom was immaculate! Staff lovely and all adhering to social distancing with masks etc!

Traveling from a hospital appointment in Belfast we stopped at Kelly’s Inn on the way home for some lunch,arriving at 2 00 on a Friday afternoon. After a long wait we eventually got our food. I had ordered salmon on a bed of cabbage with champ. The potatoes were watery and the cabbage wasn’t cooked., the salmon was fine so I ate that. My uncle ordered chicken Maryland, well the chicken was so tough/ burnt that I had to get him a steak knife which still didn’t cut it. The manager/ Head waiter came over n returned his plate to the kitchen to get a new dinner cooked, at this stage my uncle decided that he didn’t want to wait any longer as we were already there over an hour. He said he would take my uncles meal of the bill. BIG DEAL. He went home to get his 85 year old wife to cook him some bacon. Very disappointed, I thought Kelly’s had upped their game but evidently not. Staff pleasant n polite but that doesn’t substitute for poor cooks in the kitchen.

We stopped at Kelly's twice for lunch on our journeys from Dublin Airport to Donegal. A port in a storm if you are hungry, thirsty, or fatigued. The welcome is warm, the menu extensive, and the food tasty and fresh. I appreciated the decor and the space and was not disappointed the second time around. Immaculate toilets, and a store for groceries next door. No wonder this place is popular. Pay in pounds sterling if you can.

This restaurant happened to be the handiest place to visit after being to a family funeral whilst treating my mum to birthday meal and seeing my brothers of before they flew back to Scotland. What a mistake we made. When we arrived we told the waitress that rest of family was coming. She took our order and said that all orders would come out together. This did not happen. Their meals came but no sign of our (this includes my mother’s). After waiting an hour and half we eventually managed to find a waitress who was willing to find out what happened. Thank you Patricia. Finally meal arrived which was in my opinion hastily put together. Does a salad take 90 minutes I don’t think so and half my meal was undercooked. Our original waitress did not come near to even apologise this was left to other staff. We were then given the lame excuse of it being busy and 20 tables before us. Again a lie as I had plenty of time to see who came in after us including my brothers and their families. After speaking to manager she said she would look into what happened!! What happened is that our order never got to kitchen!! And why the manager said if we came back we would get meal on house when best she could do tonight is half price....I don’t think so. If you have plenty of time to waste on meagre food by all means visit this place. Otherwise stay well away

On mother’s day we were “greeted” by the owner of this so called restaurant! We did not reserve a table as we were unsure of our arrangements for that day. We understood that the chances of an available table would be slim however we were not expecting tables to be available. A smile would have been courteous of this owner as she spoke to us from a far in an aggressive tone stating loudly “DO YOU NOT REALISE IT IS MOTHERS DAY!” the owner chuckled rudely and sent us off to the bar area. This loud voice was projected and recieved by other customers within the restaurant. At this point I blushed nervously and was embarrassed as our family was looked upon by the workers of this restaurant. We were not directed but sent to the bar as if we were unimportant customers, the owner sighed and says “we’ll go into the bar then”As a customer I felt as though I was a neusince and of a great bother to them! I will NEVER be back again!!! I own a business myself and I understand the importance of service and today being a customer and having had this disappointing experience has made me more aware of how important customer service is! No matter how good the food was! And on that note our meal wasn’t too pleasant! It had set the scene throughout our experience as a customer. When we were having our meal we witnessed unacceptable behaviour from this owner towards her staff! Shouting at her staff from afar made us feel uneasy creating a atmosphere throughout the restaurant. I am all for supporting local businesses but this business does not deserve customers as they clearly show difficulty in this area.

Stopped here for food on a long journey and as there was 5 adults and 2 children we were happy they could fit us in. The food was great and they staff found us a suitable table very quickly indeed along with two high chairs. The service fell a little when they brought the food and my burger had no bacon on it. We had to ask for the two chips which were ordered also as part of the main dishes but we got these quickly. All food was lovely and well presented and we will return.

The food was as though someone had briefly described what a fish cakes starter and a steak dinner should look and taste like over the phone several days earlier, before the chef attempted to reproduce it based only on this description. The fish cakes were tasteless, the pepper sauce tasted like they’d drained the juice from a stew and called it sauce, the steak was over cooked and greasy. Everything slapped on a plate and served up with what resembled chips.

Sin embargo, la comida tardó muchísimo, tres de mis compañeros dieron sus entradas 20 minutos antes que yo. Eran bastante lleno, así que podíamos entender, pero esperamos otros 30 minutos en la red y tuvimos que pedir para ellos. Las carnes eran horribles, parecía como si hubieran sido tirado en el plato cebollas casi cruda. Nos dimos cuenta de que las carnes fueron enviados de vuelta por al menos otros tres mesas. el personal era extremadamente grosero ++++. Perdido hora y media! Ojalá nunca nos habíamos ido.

I would agree with almost everything 'Murphyismydog' wrote a year ago except that my complaint was taken seriously and we didn't have to pay for the worst of the three awful meals we were served yesterday. Such a shame, this spot holds fond memories for me and with proper staff training it could be great again. It's always a bad sign when no one responds to TripAdvisor revues - it looks like no one cares and sadly in Kelly's yesterday few seemed to.

Myself and my husband stopped at Kellys for a meal along with our two year old son. I ordered curry for my son and asked the waitress if there were vegetables in the curry to which she replied no so i asked for a portion of vegetables and mashed potatoes to accompany the curry. When the curry came out it consisted of chicken and curry sauce with a few carrots thrown in. No other vegetables were brought out. The curry sauce was bland. The potatoes looked and tasted awful - lumpy and reheated, definitely not fresh!My husband and I both had starters, he had soup which was ok and I had brie which was just ok. It was one huge chunk instead of smaller wedges which is how it is normally served. Our main courses were brought to the table before our starter dishes had been cleared away. My main came with some of the same vile potatoes my son had received under the chicken breast and I ordered garlic potatoes as my side order. The garlic potatoes took a long time to arrive and when they did they were burnt to a crisp. My husband ordered a burger which was ok but a bit tasteless. The sauce with my chicken was lovely but the rest was a big let down.No one came to clear our table and ask if we wanted tea or coffee or dessert so we just got up and paid and left.Overall a very disappointing and quite expensive. We would not recommend Kelly's to family or friends.

I just wanted something "quick and cheerful"!I had chicken ceaser salad for starters followed by roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. The food was quite tasty, but the service was very slow - left sitting between courses for a long time, even though the restaurant was overly busy. I decided to have desert and coffee. Again I was kept waiting until eventually I had to continue my journey. At one stage, there were four staff members chatting, while tables needed tending. I mentioned the poor service to the girl when I was paying and she apologised.All in all, just an average experience.

Stopped here for a meal with my wife on the way from Dublin to Donegal and have to say that the experience of eating here has to be one of the worst I've ever had. I've been meaning to write this bad review for a long time but kept forgetting. However, such was the shabbiness of our dining experience I promised myself that I would share it so others can be warned too. Both the quality of food and the service at Kelly's was singularly terrible on the day we ate there. I ordered a burger which was cremated, dry and flavourless and had the most dry, disappointing filling in it. My wife's meal too was horrible, the vegetables that she ordered (cabbage and carrots) arrived microwaved in a white bowl. They were rubbery, dry and just terribly prepared. No one came by and asked how our meal was, but if they did I would have told them how truly dreadful it was. We didn't eat much as it was frankly inedible. I politely made mention of the food and how disappointing it was when I paid at the till thinking that someone would do something. They apologised (very insincerely) and took my money anyway: No discount or investigation into why I'd complained. It really beggars belief that a place like this can exist in this day and age. Avoid like the plague. My wife and I still joke about stopping into Kelly's on our regular trips north, we never will but at least we get to remember it for how bad dining out in some parts of Ireland can really get.

Service was good. Three of us called in for lunch and we all chose the battered fish. Two with garlic fries, one with chips. The fish was beautiful, llight tasty batter, and more than ample portion. The chips however were undercooked. This was brought to the attention of the waitress who agreed that she would like hers cooked better as well. Unfortunately when we went to pay the bill, there was no apology given or acknowledgement of our complaint. It's a pity the staff dealt with this the way they did, it sort of tainted an otherwise tasty meal.i have tomark the food down because of the chips and likewise I Mark down the service because the waitress did not deal with our complaint affectively.

We ended up here for a family reunion just after the New Year as our usual haunt was closed. The service was very friendly and helpful and the main meals reasonable if somewhat uninspired or lacking any 'home made' feel. Two of the party had Goats Cheese salads and whilst the cheese was great, the salad was, like us after a buzy New Year's Eve, somewhat tired. The menu was somewhat limited overall although it does cater for meat eaters or vegetarians.

Stopped off on Sunday and was really well looked after. Staff were very good in attending to all our needs, very patient and considerate in their approach to all customers. We had a bit of a brunch and were very pleased with the food. Not long to wait and a very, very reasonable price for what we were served. We'll ceratinly be stopping off here again - safe parking at the rear and the place itself was very clean and tidy. Well done to all the staff and thanks for the service - we really enjoyed it and will be most definitely be stopping there again!

I have stopped off here a couple of times in the last few months, the most recent July 2014. The food is OK and portions seem large. Prices are higher than what you would expect for the food offered. Im not saying you would be disappointed calling here but its not a culinary experience.

Three of us travelling from Rosslare to Derry by motorbike, stopped at the petrol station nearby to refuel. We happened to notice Kelly's next door, and as it was mid afternoon, decided to pop in for tea and scones. What a great welcome! As we wanted to keep an eye on our bikes we were offered a table in a closed off area by the window where we could see them. The pot of tea, fresh scones and service were excellent. It offered good value and we will definitely call here again on our next visit.

Stopped here for breakfast on a journey back to Dublin! The full breakfast was well priced at £6 which included all the usuals, tea and toast. Overall it was nice. Just two small things. From working in the restaurant industry in the past - I understand that quite a lot of foods are heated by microwave, which is fine. However the beans were not even stirred and had a layer on top making them look overcooked. Secondly, the milk jug had sauce crusted on it - could have been cleaner. These are only small things though and I will return again, very handy stop on the road!

Strule Arts Centre Coffee Shoplocation-iconHigh StreetBritish

A lovely cafe tucked away in a great location, especially on a sunny day overlooking the river. The cafe feels spacious and local art exhibits are right beside you. The menu is wide and of very good value- i would recommend the ‘hot honey halloumi’ dish or the pancakes for breakfast- great portion size!

Went here for my mums birthday. It was a very cold night. Restaurant was warm and cosy. Seated promptly. Staff really go above and beyond here. They were very engaging with the children too. Food was served warm and at a nice pace. Brie wedges were full of cheese. Salmon main was perfect. Beef stroganoff super. Overall lovely friendly and warm experience with wholesome classic hearty food!

This is a tiny looking café alongside a Spar grocer but once inside it is a hidden gem. We joined the queue at the counter and selected what we would like to order, then paid for our food and drinks while one of us found a table. A waitress brought the drinks and then the food with almost no delay even though the café was full. The food was absolutely delicious and was a little different eg lasagne made with chicken, chicken with peaches. The price was much lower than I had expected and the portions much larger. We then went into the grocery part of the business to look for pear and almond scones and for Turkish Delight; in each case I asked a member of staff and both came out from behind a counter, showed me the scones and indicated what was in each; then she packed them for me. The person identifying Turkish Delight, called Rebecca, was equally helpful and packed each item into my bags without being asked. The whole business, café and shop, seemed to be staffed by people for whom nothing was too much trouble. Fintona is a bit off the beaten track but I would go back if ever in the area again.
