Maxwell's - Dublin Road, Oranmore

Our first time in Galway. We had lunch at Maxwell's. the seafood chowder is creamy and has definite yet subtle salmon flavor and is balanced nicely with the dill. The mushroom soup is delicate and flavorful. Both soups were served with fresh brown bread.

Up in Galway for a days shopping but where to go when the hunger hits. This spot will certainly do the job. Basically at the top of Shop Street so as central as you like. The place is a visually nicely fitted out spot with a good selection of specials on the blackboard. The menu had a number of local produce influenced items. I went for the Jack McGrath beef burger which was deliciously juicy and tasty. Nice :

I had a good mini breakfast it was a mini version of a traditional Irish. The quality was good, the service attentive and kind. I will definitely try other meals if I go back to Galway. Anyway they forgot beans but brought me a small cup and later a bigger portion. Nice service!

My Husband and I came here after having driven all day. We were starving and everywhere else we had tried so far was booked solid (it was a saturday at about 8pm). We came into Maxwells, and were quickly greeted and sat. We ordered the bread and dips to start, as we thought that would be the quickest way to fill our empty tummies. It was very promptly served, and VERY tasty. The bread was fresh, and the dips included sundried tomato relish, olive tapanade, and beet-root hummus. I will admit, when it was served, not much bread came with it, but we asked for more and it was quickly brought without a problem. As our entree, my husband ordered their steak burger, and I ordered their braised lamb shoulder. The food was AMAZING. The amount of food that came with the lamb shoulder was crazy! I couldn't finish it all. My lamb came with coco bean ragu, broccoli and potatoes. My husbands burger came with some sort of veg relish and home fries. The restaurant its was well decorated, and well placed. It made for some entertaining people watching at the window facing the street on a Saturday evening. The service was great, I never felt rushed or ignored. And even though the restaurant is being remodeled at the time we were there, you couldn't even tell, it still looked great on the inside! I'll definitely be coming back here the next time I'm in Galway.

The BLT had an ample amount of flavorful bacon (called Canadian bacon back home {USA} , shredded lettuce (salad , large slices of White toast, but little to no mayonnaise. I had to layer it on myself. The chips were decent, the hot tea with the brown sugar cream quite fulfilling. The place is well lit clean, with an efficient, professional Waite staff. My meal plus my wife's Goat Cheese n' Chicken sandwich amounted to €20.40, a bit pricey for what we had, but it's right at the end of the popular Spanish Arch shopping/eating/drinking district.
