Sunday lunch Jan 30th, great menu 15 adults and 2 kids. The food and service were great. The atmosphere and setting in the restaurent was wonderful. The extra effort the staff made was greatly appreciated. We had a wonderful birthday lunch. Thank you

22/10/21. This is a lovely bar and eaterie. The staff were great and the food was absolutely fantastic. It was made even more enjoyable because my daughter paid the bill. If I'd known in advance, I'd have had a desert and a cheeky whisky.

A. K.

Beautiful food served by lovely staff. Had a truly great day at my daughters wedding here

J. B. (.

This place is so good with its food menu. From starters, main courses and of course desserts, it was absolutely excellent. We had a waitress that was so nice,friendly and just so helpful. Definitely "compliments to the chef".....we'll be back

J. B.

Been here multiple times now, got their beef burger, one of the nicest I had. Great food and friendly staff who were very helpful. Their pizza is also amazing it’s what you’d expect out of an authentic pizzeria. Pavlova dessert nicest I think I’ve ever had. Can’t compliment the food here enough. Would give 6 stars if possible

D. H.

Delicious food. Good value. Definitely going there again

A. M. C.

Very tasty food. Service a bit slow and not very courteous. Layout of restaurant isn't ideal as it makes it very hard to pass up and down. Reasonably priced. My side of veg arrived just as I finished my dinner.

U. W.

Very nice pub, friendly staff and a delicious burger. The baby back ribs didn’t meet our expectations but the veg curry was really nice.

J. L.

Had a lovely experince , food very good, served at nice temp, open air well managed, masks worn by staff at all times.

J. C.

Had food there last night and it was quality! 3 courses each one absolutely perfect 👌 Chicken wings for starter 🤤🤤 The burger 🍔 for main which had perfectly melted cheese and bacon 🥓 melt in you’re mouth kinda burger didn’t leave it down after picking it up that good! Chocolate pudding and ice cream for dessert to top it all off ideal town!! Highly recommend this spot!!

D. C.

Very nice atmosphere. We were out in an area at the back of the main building. It was just a nice size for the amount of people there. We had finger food which was very tasty and it wasn't spared either. Nice little bar area also out there. I will definitely be back again for some food and drinks. I would definitely recommend it to a friend. If you happen to be passing or your staying nearby definitely visit here. It's well worth the visit.

E. O.

I was at the villager in Glasson. Food is great. But the service with some waiting staff is terrible veg arrived when my food was nearly finished. There was absolutely no social distancing of staff members. They take orders very close to you and never wear masks or visors. The staff did not sanitize hands while i was their for the hour and half. It was not good to go in with no social distancing or sanitizing hands of staff or masks. Needs to change. Watch the news.

C. M. D.

Great outdoor dining option - we had lunch. Food was very well prepared

N. S.

Absolutely superb food from starter to dessert. Service was also so friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend. Three girls out to celebrate a 50th birthday and thoroughly enjoyed.

C. E.

Pizza is soooo good, fantastic outdoor setup also.

s. s.

Food and service was brilliant highly recommended

S. K.

Always love this spot. The menu is always amazing, great variety,not your average run of the mill options. Menu seems to be changed up often too which is great. Have been for lunch on a few occasions and always delighted. Staff are so lovely and friendly

T. B.

Adding to my previous review. Happened to eat hear again and it was just unreal. The best burger I've ever had. Beautiful chicken wings and my gf had a fish platter which was awesome. Really enjoyed the beautiful meal I had here today.. I eat out alot and this is the best pub grub I've ever had.. I had the burger which was flavoursome, juicy and the bun was unreal. My girlfriend had the duck with the most amazing noodles flavoured with coconut and ginger.. simple done excellent, bravo to the chef.. other establishment should take a lesson from how to make simple so beautiful and not bland and over priced.. nice cosy place with lovely staff.. we will be coming back

P. O. C.

Food Fabulous great service.. Overall grade A

C. R.

Delicious food and excellent service. We only had starters as we just wanted a light lunch but will definitely be returning soon for a full meal.

S. K. M.

In one word.... AWESOME experience. Very very tasty food, very less waiting ( or may be I was lucky in all my previous 3 visit), very friendly & helpful staff and best of all prices are not too high. They have many options for vegan diet as well as vegetarian, so no need to worry if you have any vegan or vegetarian in your group. They have their own parking as well as own bar. They will have "Menu of the day " with their normal menu.

R. D.

Stopped off for lunch after visiting surrounding lakes. Warmly welcomed and seated comfortably close to a glowing hearth fire. Attentive staff delivered a well portioned lunch special of duck spring rolls, noodles and vegetables and a delicious chicken curry dish. Both arrived in good time, were flavoursome and well presented, yet unpretentious. Excellent coffee too. Will definitely make a return visit.

S. L.

I dine here quite often and I’ve never been disappointed! The food is always amazing and there’s a great variety to choose from. The atmosphere is welcoming and staff is very efficient and friendly. If you have the opportunity to go here do not hesitate! Highly recommend

A very nice and cosy restaurant. A warm welcoming, followed by an excellent service, with a lot of attention to detail. The food is wonderful I had the mussels for starters, followed by the beef burger. The service is always great and I’ll definitely be back!

E. K.

My Fiancé and I came here on a normal Sunday afternoon in February. Not our first time here but the food never ceases to amaze us. Prompt friendly service, excellent menu with easy adaptation to dietary needs (gluten free) and the food itself is just perfect. Definitely give it a try if you get the chance!

P. O.

Nice atmosphere. Food good.

C. M.

I would highly recommend The Villager. We stopped off there today for Sunday lunch. The food was amazing as were the staff. We will definitely call again

D. H.

Lovely atmosphere, delicious food and excellent service

T.

Nice food but a bit over priced. Crab mayo starter =€10 too expensive, shoukd be about €8 Wings starter €7 not bad but portion was too small, shoukd have been about €6 Lamb chops €30 too expensive, should have been €20 Steak €29 too exp should have been €18 At €85 total including 1 beer, i think it was about €20 too expensive for what we got.

K. M.

Lovely food,beautifully cooked in a traditional, cute bar. Meat was melt in the mouth.A variety of daily specials available.Would defnitley reccomend, only removing a star as the toilets, really need an update & although clean did have a smell about them !

D. F.

A group of us were here for a christening celebration. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The vegetarian options were quite limited but tasty. Would definitely eat here again.

D. D.

We sat for a 1pm lunch on sunday. Great selection of food and all promptly serve. Staff were really friendly though they were very much over run with a few sizable parties in the restaurant at the time. Portions were fine (though would prefer chunky hand cut chips to the McDonalds style fries that were served) and the cod was excellent and very crispy. Soup was excellent and served with a lovely selection of breads. Dessert of apple and raspberry crumble was beautiful. Overall an excellent experience, staff were very friendly and did not hassle us out of the table though we sat and chatted a long time after being served. Will return!

d. r.

Top class...stopped off on Sunday evening on the way home to Galway unannounced. Left after having probably the best meal we have ever had , from starter to desert , it would be hard to beat! Friendly staff to top it off

M. M. n.

It's expensive and kids meals that I got were served with no veg. Dissapointed with that. But they did do very well to cater for my gluten free daughter. Staff were friendly.

P. D.

Super spot. Really great food and friendly staff. When we are in the area we will go out of our way to eat here. Recommend their buttermilk chicken

E. B.

The food is superb, the staff are so friendly and professional. It is easily the best restaurant in the Midlands region. It's comfortable and relaxing. Keep up the good work, see ye soon.

A. L.

Love love love this restaurant. The Maitre D is absolutely amazing and couldn't do enough for us. The food is fab, the table service is fantastic. Overall 10/10. The best restaurant in the Athlone area.

C. R.

Food is absolutely gorgeous, staff are great, lovely place to spend an evening.

W. I.

Made a random stop here on Thursday on our way from Enniskillen to Limerick. Made sure to stop on the way back today and had an even more enjoyable meal. Clean, wonderful staff and great value for money!

T. M.

The Villager is really superb. The team are friendly, welcoming & helpful, excellent menu choices & great wine selection in a relaxing atmosphere. Never get tired of eating here :-)

M. D.

Lovely bar and restaurant. Much bigger than it looks from the outside. With a bar and pool room with i good size restaurant. There is also one of the best beer gardens in Ireland. The beer garden has its own bar and they make homemade pizzas. They also do a unbelievable BBQ for party's. You could not pick a better location for a summer party in this beer garden.

p. m.

Last weekend my family had a Christening/Wedding meal in The Villager. From planning stage to the last person (inc small kids) departed for home, the advise, service and assistance from Maeve and her brilliant staff was more than excellent. The food was, as usual, perfect and the service prompt, friendly and efficient. Great experience all round. We'll be back soon.

D. O.
