Carrick Cafe in Carrick-on-shannon

26/08/2025: We have eaten here quite a few times and the food is consistently fantastic and the service is normally very good too. On our most recent trip when it came to paying, I asked the waitress to round up the bill to include a tip as I was paying by card. She told me that she 'would like to let me know that waiting staff prefer to receive tips as cash because if its on a card they have to pay tax.' She said it was ok this time but she was letting me know for the future..... I can honestly say that this has never been said to me anywhere before. I've worked as a waitress myself and was always appreciative of tips, no matter how they were paid to me.
