The Official Opening in 1983

Monaghan Street Staff in 2000

In 1983 our Monaghan Street restaurant had just a few full time and several part time staff. We now employ over 150 people throughout our restaurants keeping employment in the locale of the area.

Friar Tuck's builds its success on a winning combination of - a tasty menu, fair prices with a super service and the close overview of a member of the Downey family members. The original menu of chicken burgers, beef burgers and chips has been updated over the years to add numerous dishes to the extensive menu including Panini's and Wraps.

There has always been a demand for quality fast food; Friar Tuck's has met that demand with its superb menu. We have duplicated this great tasting menu throughout each of our restaurants.
