Drogheda Restaurant Reviews

In scholars on saturday. slight issue with one of the mains, but they rectified it straight away.

Always a pleasure to go to IMHO

they need to close off the actual pier to traffic at the weekends - apart from those who actually need to get their motors on to the pier. with the numbers of people walking around and the scattergun nature of the parking it is an accident waiting to happen. The car park is big enough to cater for the traffic.

I've been going there for years at the weekends with the dogs and kids and in the last 12 months I rarely will go up their as it is just too busy - or else I'll go up late on a Sunday afternoon when most of the crowd are gone and indulge in a few chips looking out at the sea

I was in Scholars over the weekend - ate in the bar and again it was a simply lovely meal out with the wife .. food was great, bar is a lovely welcoming setting and the service was as expected. It is still my go to place in Drogheda when I was a nice evening out

Had sunday lunch in the Village hotel, Bettystown over the weekend, place was rammed.

I do like the food there, i ordered turkey and ham, the plate came out , a severe shortage of food on the plate .. i could have eaten 2 of them.

16.95 for the turkey and ham, i asked the waitress for more potatoes and vegetables , i was not paying 16.95 for a portion which wouldnt fill a mouse !

Service was brutal, but i will put that down to it being so busy. I have always been looked after before with no major delays.

Yeah, the Valley 2 and 3 course deal has increased recently, with a €10 supplement for steak. That and the five euro pint are hitting the wallet!

Any recommendations for nice lunch/brunch spots in Drogheda?

Was looking at Bare Food Co. and Five Good Things but have no experience of either.

looks like a Camile thai take away is opening in SouthGate.

It's ridiculous.

Took about 40 mins to get a couple of sandwiches there a few weeks ago.

All very busy chatting to their mates.

Then also took to hoovering the whole place at lunch time on a Saturday???

Was starving and driving past on Sunday last week. Was going to stop. Remembered the last disaster. Drove to Tesco in Bettystown, bought bread and few bits. Went home. Made sandwich. Still way faster.

Anyone tried Song and Jenn's in the back of McHugh's? Drove past there on Monday evening & it was jammers.

Any suggestions of anywhere in Drogheda that does great dough balls?

Am just back from Edinburgh and have discovered the dough balls in Pizza Express and they were Devine.

New place open in Simona's old premises, "South Quay Fayre"

Looks good, anyone tried it?

I was at Clogherhead pier last week, didn't think the portion sizes had changed? Himself got the full-size fish and chips and got 2 large fish pieces and plenty of chips. I had the half portion, plenty in it for me

The prices went up a few months ago, sign of the times, I'm afraid.

Been to Wowburger a few times, and I'm genuinely impressed, especially with the €10 lunch special. The burgers are supplied by FXB and are top notch.

Compare and contrast with Eddie Rockets which IMHO has gone down the pan during covid. The last couple of times we went there the burgers were really poor quality and almost inedible.

Has anyone tried out the new-ish Mexican place? It has limited seating and always appears to be full.

Where is wowburger in drogheda?

*Incorrect reply*

Was wondering alright

Yes, sorry. *flagellates self*

err... Camile are nice but portions are smaller than most places and they're quite expensive.

I'm still impressed with Soi40 every time I order. My 'go to' takeaway now in Drogheda. The ribs are 10/10.
