Honestly, the food is out of this world, im a very experienced eater. We returned 3 times this holiday. All the staff are fantastic ..but Susan has welcomed us as old friends and made us feel very special. A massive thumbs up to the Tankard

This is one of those restaurants that you don't just eat at, you make a memory. Every single aspect of our visit was exemplary, and I can neither fault nor recommend this place enough. The seafood mornay is world class, the chowder starter is the best I've ever had, and the various dishes were all well sized, properly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. We had to get a taxi to and from the restaurant as its a little bit outside of Tralee, but it was more than worth the extra hassle and expense. Best decision of our holiday, and we hope to pay another visit in the future. In our many holidays around Ireland, this is one of the best, if not THE best, dining experiences we have had.

We recently had a pre-wedding meal in The Tankard with 34 of our family and friends. The welcome we received, the kind and friendly staff and of course, delicious food were second to none. Couldn't recommend it more, a top class restaurant.
