I have been in many restaurants all over the world and this place was by far the worst for customer service and food at dreadfully inflated prices. As I wasn't very hungry I ordered a bap with ham and cheese. It arrived with no butter, one slice of ham and half a slice of cheese ( a child would present... More

Lunched on Thursday. Always has been the best burger. Portions are definitely smaller but not the prices. More

I have been stopping here for years on route to or from Dublin and although it is now off the motorway it remains a great place to eat. As others have pointed out the gentleman who runs this place with his wife has a way about him.That being said if you want good food and are prepared to pay a... More

Visited this establishment today after quite a long absence - curious to see if/how the new motorway may have impacted. There were a few punters in for a weekday mid-afternoon. We were greeted in robotic fashion by a lady by the door & quickly show to a convenient table. A bit of music or jollity wouldn't go astray, as the... More

I visited Matt the Thrasher for lunch and found the overall experience very disappointing. No effort was made to make us feel welcomed and valued as a customer. We had chowder, Crab salad and Cod goujons for our lunch. The chowder was mediocre and lacking taste, the crab salad was served with big leaves of ice-berg lettuce and large onion... More

When passing by we decided to pop in for dinner the restaurant looks beautiful from the outside but do not let that fool you .. We ordered burgers well done and chips how can you go wrong . We sat in the back half of the restaurant during the long wait for our food I saw numerous cobwebs hanging around... More

Absolutely unbelievable!!!! Good God! I saw the owner, publicly, try to seat a couple at a table they didn't want to sit at, in restaurant with plenty of available seating! When they asked if they could sit else where, they were completely shot down. They said they would take their business elsewhere. He shouted after them, 'it's ok, I'll fill... More

I have never had such an unpleasant experience in my life. The man in charge there was rude, obnoxious and insulting. I mistakenly poured water over my seat and when we got up to move to one of the many free tables we were told that we were not allowed and that I had to sit in my wet seat... More
