  <RestaurantDetails>Ripleys Steak House - Butterslip Lane (off Kieran St), Kilkenny City - 056 777 0699 - ripleys@eircom.net - 13:00-Late. - I had a very tasty meal here about three weeks ago. For starters I had the caesar salad, for the main course I had the classic cheese burger and for dessert I had the Bramley Apple Crumble. 

The caesar salad was delicious. The dressing worked well with it. The classic cheese burger was gorgeous and I loved the tomato and onions. (It also came with fries) The apple crumble was absolutely fabulous! I can't pick a best or a worst! Food was amazing.

The service was great and with a smile. I will definitely be dining here again!!</RestaurantDetails>

    <comment>Had luncg here yesterday. I was in a bit of a rush so i was pleased that the waiter came over and took my order quickly. I had the chicken fajijtas which were delicious. Not too spicy just right. The restaurant is in a good location just off high street. I will visit again. The steaks looked very nice and i will be back for one someday.</comment>

    <comment>I had lunch here yesterday. The place was quite busy for a midweek lunch. The Steak Pie is a nice dish, Warm and hearty on a cold winters day. The service was good and the the price was resonable</comment>

    <comment>I love this restaurant so much. I go there the whole time with my friends or with my family. I go there especially for the same dishes over and over again because they are fantastic. The Deep  Fried Brie starter is divine. The Chicken Fajita Tower is amazing. Staff are always friendly and we'r never waiting long for our food. The Malteser dessert is also fab.
I've also tried the BBQ Burger, you get two huge burgers, cheese, BBQ sauce, onion rings, chips and salad. It's quite nice too. But my friend and I are big Mexican lovers and nearly always gety the Fajita Tower. You can get this as Vegetarian too and with other meats. It is simply delicious.</comment>
