How on earth is that good value do you mind me asking?

Since it was taken over, its gone down a lot.

We used to get the table sampler. Its now much smaller and even the plate is smaller.

We stopped going there altogether.

Well as far as i know this place used to be lovely, but from what posts are saying its gone downhill. So in a nice restaurant i think that would be good value.

Same as the rest, it's just a glorified cafe.

I was there about six weeks ago, didn't get a special, but had steak and chips which was fine.

I live up the road from it and the last time I was there (at least a year and a half ago) I was not impressed at all. It felt like you were herded in and out and the staff were horrid.

Sounds like it has not improved much either.....

Cheers,

A friend of mine was staying in Dublin for the weekend and we both went into Joels for a sandwich and coffee - both the coffee & sandwiches were putrid and overpriced! Felt bad as it was my suggestion to go there in the first place - never again!

We can give out all we like about it here but fact is its out the door every Friday Sat and Sun. They must be doing something right.

Captive audience with bugger all choice in the area ! :mad:
For anyone interested though there is a very good Lebanese Place very near the last stop of the Luas at the square, cant remember the name though.

While I was waiting for outlook to start I did a quick google search...

Fitzgerald Group bought Joel's sometime in 2003 according to a Sunday Business Post article (the only mention(!))

Ahhh was grand before the takeover...

Have not visited this place in years, sounds like the place has not improved

Yes - appealing to people who don't know any better.
