    Well deserved 5 stars. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, full of flavor, and really well presented. The service was just as good—friendly, quick, and made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    Brought 4 American visitors to the Hooley Night on Friday 16th May 2025. From when the doors opened at 730 till close to midnight when we left we had a fantastic time. The food , drink and service were 1st class and the entertainment was exceptional Irish dancing was fantastic and even though we have seen it a few times ourselves it was spellbinding The traditional musicians beforehand were top notch and extremely good at keeping us amused, involved and entertained Our visitors will go home to the states with a great story to tell about their night in Johnny Foxs

    Food is always amazing here, got confit duck, fish and chips, seafood chowder and lamb shank. Noticed however that portions have changed and are smaller than used to be. Also had a feeling that we were scammed as kids 2 scoops ice cream with caramel sauce was 3 Euro, however normal menu 3 scoops with butterscotch was 7.50 euro. We were assured that butterscotch sauce wasn't the same caramel kids got, however looked and tasted same. Overall that is the place we're going to spend time with friends and family, also for special occasions.

    Everything was great – the food, the atmosphere, the experience. The only thing that could be improved was the service, which was just okay.

    We had an wonderful experience at the famous Johnnie Fox's! Warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly blends cozy pub charm with a lively vibe. The ambiance was just right—comfortable yet vibrant. The food was truly amaxing. Every dish we tried was flavorful, beautifully presented, and just delicious. The menu is very varied, and we especially enjoyed the beef & guinness pie, lamb shank and seafood salad. Our servers were attentive, friendly, and professional. Overall, Johnnie Fox's is a fantastic spot with great food, lovely atmosphere, and wonderful staff. We look forward to returning soon and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining and pub experience!
