    We ordered our food and drinks and we were then asked to move table so we obliged. We were offered a round of sinks for the inconvenience. But the drink took over 40mins to arrive. Our food then came after an hours wait and it dis not come all together. The burgers all of them were cold and my daughter who ordered the pasta got one piece of chorizo in it. It was supposed to be chicken and chorizo. Very disappointing and the music was way to loud and toilets were dirty. Won't be recommending it.

    Thunder Road is our favourite restaurant. Whether we bring our three kids for a family meal, celebrate our anniversary or just our weekly date night we always have the best time. The food is delicious, and the staff are exceptional and so friendly. Overall, you will not experience other place like this. 🥰

    Late booking arranged easily through their website. Arrived greeted pleasantly good seating at the window. Fast service Calamari shared starter a little greasy but nice, surf and turf for mains for both cooked to order good Cajun flavour from the prawns side of fries quite small and no longer offer sauté mushrooms as a side but things change and it’s been 20 years since I had been here! But in that time the decor and ambience has remained and is still a nice place to eat. Both had chocolate brownies with vanilla ice-cream to finish. I couldn’t eat mine as strong coffee taste off the brownie and I hate coffee! Couple of glasses of Prosecco and a Smirnoff ice bill total was €130 quite reasonable for the quality of food received. Would recommend and revisit but won’t leave it 20years next time :-D Thanks Thunder Road for an enjoyable night!!
