    Sadly the food was very greasy and soggy fries! Cheese was melted in the microwave, continually using the exact same container over and over again!

    Our first time trying Elephant and Castle. Unfortunately they were out of Fish and Chips so we both ordered burgers instead. They were mediocre at best. The chicken burger was really dry.

    Food dreadful, could not eat the veggie burger, had to hand it back. French fries half cooked. Chocolate sundae (only ordered because I was hungry and there was nothing else on the menu to eat vegan wise), was literally 2 scoops of ice cream and a few nuts. I suppose they forgot the sundae part! I had been there previously and found the food better, but unfortunately not this time. Won’t be going again!

    I can say it is the best chicken wings in Dublin. We ordered chicken wings and Elephant Castle burger. The price and taste were good and the ambiance and service were excellent.

    Service was poor. Understandably slow due to concert nearby but that is always forgiven if staff are happy, welcoming, efficient within their means and communicative. Waiting 25 minutes for a simple drinks order (beer and water) after being seated for 10 mins was poor. Waiter seemed unhappy and was very unwelcoming. Poor management- we had a booking and were asked to wait for over 10 minutes (no problem generally), however people who arrived ‘on spec’, after us without a booking were offered a seat before us. Food pretty good, convenient for the 3 Arena but wouldn’t rush back.
