Best wings ever. We come here all the time when in Dublin. Have often booked flight to Dublin to have a day or 2 just so we can have the wings. Service great. Will miss having them. Until next visit to Dublin

Was there for a family birthday. Table was a good size for 6 . There was a good atmosphere but it was very loud as we were under a speaker and near a stag party of about 20. Service was exceĺlent, staff were friendly. Food was good, we had ribs, chicken and cauliflower wings to start. Delicious. Then various burgers and fries and fish. All tasty except for the fries which lacked flavour and were a little oily. For desserts we had Sundaes and sticky toffee pudding and chocolate brownies. With drinks and aĺl the food and including service charge it was ,over €300. So expensive enough. The desserts were expensive for what you got. We enjoyed it overall as a special treat.

I go here every time in London. Perfect location within Temple Bar. Great food and a friendly staff. All the food is great but for Americans…it’s the only place in Ireland to get buffalo wings just like home. Highly recommend!

I have come to Elephant and castle for many years and always look forward to my visit. My last visit was 12/18 months ago. The food is still at a very high quality but they have significantly reduced their portion sizes by 30 to 40% I would say. You would always leave full but after my main course I was still hungry. I opted to go for a dessert which seems to be outsourced. I ordered an apple crumble but it was actually an apple pie which is fine but it was definitely wasn't homemade. My wife got the brownie which in our eyes was famous but again, bought from outside. There was nothing at all wrong with our visit, the food was good but unfortunately they have lost their "wow" factor. Maybe it'll come back someday.

Recommend by a friend and we were not disappointed. It’s is in the Temple Bar area so it’s quite pricy but very good food and excellent service. If you’re a fan of spicy chicken wings, these are the best we’ve ever had.
