Dublin not only boasts a wide variety of Irish pubs for the craic, but the city has several restaurants from across the pond that are must-visits; others, not so much.
A recent review by Catherine Cleary for The Irish Times regarding a trip to a new Five Guys location in Dublin was probably one of the harshest food reviews dished out in recent memory. Clearly argued that the city didn’t deserve this burger joint that “gives the gag reflex a workout,” and noted that “the only free table is covered in debris like a flock of gulls has just departed in a clatter of wings.”
While that is one definitively awful example of an American restaurant, it is far from representative of the vast majority of what the Yanks have to offer.
