Food was lovely got there earlier than the booking and they were able to accommodate I order a bacon cheese burger with nothing else on it and bacon cheese chips, the burger came out with salad on it but was quickly amended and the food was really good.

One of my favorite place in Dublin, the food is always excellent, the service is impeccable and the playlist is a killer. I cannot recommend enough of the pulled pork, it's the best.

If you are in any way savvy in the kitchen and like to cook at home, coming here will disappoint. The salsa was out of a jar, the cheese on the nachos was from a can, the onion rings were from the freezer, the mac and cheese was dried out, tasteless and rubbery and the pulled pork was dry and lacked flavour. House white wine was nice and the fries were edible. Don't waste your money; there are far worthier restaurants that actually care about the quality of the food they serve and their customer's experience.

The meat that I was given was plain and boring. The slab of brisket looked like leftovers. Overpriced disappointment

My sons 15th birthday dinner ruined. Waited 1 hr 10 minutes for 4 of 5 starters to arrive ( mine never came ). The kids drinks had all been finished within 30 minutes while waiting for their dinner. No staff member came near us or was in the vicinity to ask us was all ok/ did the kids need more drinks/ update us on our order. I finally had enough and asked for the bill after our starters - However it too was not forthcoming so we vacated the table ( without our dinner ) and had words with the manager who stood open-mouthed and offered no reasons or apologies. From looking around - we weren't the only patrons that had been left waiting for similar lengths of time on our dinner. I have previously enjoyed on several occasions the service and food in the Temple Bar Smokin Bones but Castle Market was an atrocious disgrace.

Really good service from the staff, super helpful and let us try the sauces. Substituted the wings for boneless for us, which was appreciated. However, all other food was sadly mediocre! There are far better bbq places in Dublin to go to. We have recently tried all 4 BBQ places in Dublin centre - this one came a solid 3rd our of 4.

We were really looking forward to visiting after it was recommended. However there was confusion around our order, the waitresses tried to give our order to another table, and when they refused they assumed the order didn’t belong to anyone else and started eating the fries and onion rings.. then we could see they realised the error of their way and started laughing at their mistake (natural!). They ran back down stairs and came up again with the sides replaced. However the meat had been out of the kitchen for some time at this stage and it was extremely cold. We sent it back to the kitchen and our plate was replaced quite quickly, but it was just as cold… overall it tasted pretty good but nothing amazing and I don’t think we will be back.

There 4 times in 2022. 3 visits were very good so I’d recommended to friends we go there last Thursday. Dreadful experience. Very loud music upstairs. Food just about ok. No wine available. Never again

Absolutely terrible service. Waited over 1.5 hours for our food, which was then cold. The table was next to the door to the outside dining area, which was open more than closed meaning we were freezing. Wouldn't go back

beside the receptionist that was really nice and made all what she could to give us a good table, etc (girl using a veil), the rest wasn't a good experience at all. Food wasnt good. Chicken wings were clearly made with too much sauce and the sauce itlsef tasted like any sauce bought in ALdi. the sweet potatoes were completely overcooked (black) and they didn't even apologize... It was really noisy, my book was at 5:30, Tuesday and we needed to leave as soon as we finished eating as it was really nosy for a normal conversation. Hope this helps to improve your service

To be totally honest not a great place to eat. Looks good from the outside. We where excited to get some bbq but very disappointed with what we had. The food was over cooked and dry and cover with lots of sauce to hide the bad quality of the food. The onion rings are frozen and taste horrible. The chips seem that they had been cooked over and over again not a fresh batch. In a nutshell give this place a wide berth and not worth the money.

Good menu and good food. Downside is they don’t serve Guinness which is a shame. BBQ and a pint of Porter is a great combo.

Pleasant staff showed us to our table. Order taken promptly. Starters never arrived and the when we asked they came with main course but we're cold and dried up. Ribs were dry despite covered in sauce. All in all very average. Manager took starters off bill and gave a 10% discount but I'd have preferred what was promised......great food
