Our first and last (we came here right before going back to the airport) Irish breakfast was here. Honestly I wasn’t expecting something crazy, and we just had a very nice experience after all. Waiters were very kind, food was fast and tasty. I’ve left some place for the desert. One of my favorite, the sticky toffee pudding cake. Simply PERFECT!

I honestly recommend this one for the simplicity at reasonable prices. 😉

Our waiter, Mike gave us great service on our first dinner in Ireland. I haven’t had a good Boxty in years so it was a nice way to start our trip. Hubby and I shared the Corned Beef Boxty Dumplings and the Chick Boxty. Both were absolutely delicious. Of course we had the Boxty fries as well. The have their own house beer as well. We had no trouble getting a table on a Tuesday night , but they do take reservations on their website

If I could rate the service with 10 stars, I would. This was our first stop after dropping our bags off at our hotel once landing in Dublin and I have zero regrets. Mike made our absolute day. He was the most friendly person we met in Dublin and we still talk about him after having left. I hope he stays at Boxty House forever because we will return JUST to talk with him again! Thank you Mike!

The food was DELICIOUS, too! An overall excellent experience.

You could do a lot worse than going to Gallagher's Boxty House in Dublin - we saved this for our last night in Ireland, and have zero regrets. The Boxty (a traditional Irish food I'm told [it's either Boxty or Fish on Friday for the Catholic people who follow the traditions]), gets a glow up here.

The chef/owner of Gallagher's certainly knows their way around the kitchen, as this food is excellent. We tried both the beef and the chicken Boxty and found them both to be prepared excellently. If you're hungry after your meal, the (brown) bread pudding was also phenomenal.

There is a children's menu in the restaurant that I didn't find online, but it exists. The children's food is also equally delicious . They do serve Boxty made specifically for kids if your child is feeling adventurous, if not, they do have house made goujin for the younger ones.

Lastly, if you happen to partake in alcoholic beverages, the beer on tap is of their own making and I found that to be similarly tasty.

You could pay more and enjoy yourself less in Dublin for sure.

Food was comforting! The overall dining experience was fantastic. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating a pleasant ambiance. Debbie, our attentive and friendly wait staff, added a personal touch to the service. The food itself was comforting, satisfying both the palate and the soul. A truly enjoyable dining experience.

Engaging service and delicious food. This is a favorite in the Temple bar area, which we typically avoid because of the touristy nature. The fries are the best in Dublin. Thin, crispy and wonderful. The Boxty sampler platter is a good place to start along with their house selection of beers. Good for gluten-free selections for the potato options. All the food is fresh. Make a reservation as the tables are tight and seating is limited.
Amazing food & service. Best service we had on our trip to Dublin. We started with the mussels, which were the best we've ever had. Huge amount of them too. The Boxty was delicious (lamb). The sticky toffee pudding was the best we've had thus far because the cake was super moist. Excellent place to eat.
