The Wandering Elk in Portlaoise

11/05/2025: The food was good, it all went very very sour when we were about to leave, my wife and daughter went outside to wait for me to settle the bill. Then the waiter ran out through the door and accused then of trying to skip paying and me standing in que to pay. I did not get any kind of apology for the error they made. My family were very embarrassed. I was very disappointed with their lack of professionalism and would never darken their door again. My recommendations are not good for this cafe.

06/04/2025: This place is on the go for years and it has always has been consistently good. My favourite is the Club sambo it's unreal and very filling. I have tried other things on the menu also and again I couldn't fault it. Highly recommend to anyone in the area seeking a nice sambo and coffee at a reasonable price. Definitely worth a try. Staff are very welcoming even when flat out at busier times. Keep up the good work.
