The Middle Shop in Leixlip legal town

28/06/2026: Tried the takeaway last night. Bacon cheeseburger was absolutely delicious, and the sauce that came with it added more to it than just the bacon, cheese, and beef. The Detroit-style pizza was pretty true to form -- looks heavy but in fact quite airy and light, with of course the signature crispy, cheesy edges. Bacon cheese chips has plenty of crispy bacon on top of it as well as a delectable cheese sauce that you don't see everywhere (can also have the traditional grated cheese if you fancy). Vibe was pretty cool with wooden tables & chairs, almost like what you would see in an auld Western establishment or the kind of wooden chairs you'd see in kitchens of American homes (I have to imagine it's either American owned or someone spent significant time in the States), with colourful corrugated metal roofing on top and nicely decorated paintings on the walls. Even though the interaction was brief, the staff was also kind & inviting. We definitely have a new takeaway burger spot, and I would go back in a heartbeat to try the breakfast or enjoy the food sitting in. A gem of a local business -- give them a go! (Apologies for no photos, because we devoured the delicious food before we had a chance!)
