The best restaurants

30/11/2025: Excellent service and a lovely atmosphere. The place is quiet, comfortable, and perfect for studying or getting work done.

11/04/2026: Hotel is lovely, staff were so friendly and helpful. Family room was so spacious. Room and ensuite was spotless and had everything anyone needed. Breakfast was lovely. Great parking at the back of hotel. We really enjoyed our time there.

26/02/2026: Staff friendly, apart from lady in bar, unwelcoming looked like she didn't want to be there. Everyone else was ok. Distinct smell of old grease as soon as you get to any of the doors, and inside the Hotel. Room is freezing cold, bathroom mold in shower tray, dirty shower head, mold along the top of the ceiling, and the glass shower door edges. The ceiling in main room had quite a bit of water damage in 2 places, room 215. Cobwebs everywhere, carpet dated. No firedoor at all. Smell of grease in room too. Had to ask to be moved, which they did. And they gave us a portable heater. Room 218, only slightly better, but again freezing, so welcomed to have the heater, no firedoor. Could see the hall light under the gap of door at night time. Smoke detector had a plaster on it, remote for TV didn't work properly at all. Restaurant, seats actually stuck to the floor, looked like the cold breakfast items were left out over night. Had some food in bar first night and ended up with food poisoning. Wouldn't eat in there again.

03/12/2025: you would get a better cup of coffee out of Aldi or Lidl come on lads where are you getting your coffee

19/10/2025: Very nice servers and the coffee was decent.

22/12/2025: this has only take away option. they have fresh pizzas and the pepperoni has improved a lot. chicken wings also is very delicious

08/09/2025: Pizza was amazing so fresh and full of flavours staff were very friendly

03/01/2026: Best Chinese food I have ever tried in Athlone and maybe in my life. The service is great, the waitresses are very friendly, it's open until late at night, has good music in the background. We had satisfactory amount of food and the price is excellent, it's worth every penny.

21/10/2025: Very friendly and welcoming staff! We had hot chocolate and wonderful brownies! Highly recommended!

20/10/2025: Staff went out of their way to accommodate me with my toddler. They moved furniture around, gave us a window seat to keep him entertained, brought out colouring pages and gave him a free chocolate treat. My only criticism of Carter's is the paper cups and plates but I will be returning again as it is definitely a family friendly cafe. Nice coffee also.

18/06/2026: Amazing experience at Costa today!! Even during a busy time, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Their positive attitude really made my day. Highly recommended! 😊

24/05/2026: My mother Auntie Ducka and my from towns nana has lovely costa idea

17/05/2026: I pop in occasionally to get a quarter pounder with cheese and curry chips, never been disappointed. A bit of a wait yesterday, 25 mins or so but everything was really fresh and tasty so can’t complain

17/04/2026: Local staple. Quick efficient service. Chips are decent.

01/05/2026: Great cream pint and grat staff

27/04/2026: Nice bar, good atmosphere. Let down by the smell, especially in the women's toilets & by the atrocious language by one of the barmen.

24/10/2025: Drove to collect and they don't do card cash only which is illegal now had to get delivered and then it arrived cold .. very bland would not recommend

15/08/2025: Food is great and staff very friendly.

22/04/2026: In 2012, my brother lost his life after being in a physical altercation with the security from Cox's, 2 of them asked him to leave which he did, peacefully as seen on CCTV, he tried to walk away 3 times,but you can see the security saying things to him while he was walking away, as the coroner said at the inquest, unfortunately we can't hear what they're saying, unfortunately on the third time my brother came back and that's when the "physical struggle " happened , resulting in the loss of my brothers life. I could go into more detail but I'd be here for a week. By the way, Cox's didn't have a late licence to operate that night either, unbelievable. I hope this message finds the right people, and I will never forget what happened that night and I hope it lives long in the memories of the owners and the security. ( which I doubt.) RIP paraic. ❤️

17/02/2026: I just love Cox's beautiful steak, chips and garlic mayo. Everything is fantastic. Alright service. Good atmosphere

08/06/2026: Always great service and friendly and helpful staff too. Food is always perfect.

05/06/2026: Great wee store has most of everything, lovely people great service.

04/04/2026: The servers were very friendly and the food was very good, homemade and full of flavor with fresh vegetables.

06/02/2026: I've had Chinese food all over Ireland, England and America and this is my favourite Chinese out of everywhere. The House Special curry is the most delicious curry I've ever had (ask for it extra spicy). It's been great for years.

28/05/2026: I’ll never order from here again. Food arrived an hour after ordering reheated and tasting of nothing. They said they’d take it back and half hour later called to say I’d have to pick it up. I said I wanted my money back. I’d have to come and pick that up. Used to be good but has seriously gone downhill.

05/05/2026: So disappointing. Apparently this is 2 large fries (worth €9) and 2 fresh code (€20). The portion sizes are well off the mark for what’s advertised. This was our second time ordering and it will be our last. The first order had some issues of consistency with the fish, one being much larger than the other, but made up for it by taste and quality of the chips. This time the chips barely split across 2 people despite supposedly being 2 large portions and the fish was on the small side. Chips were tasty enough. Fish was dry and separated from the batter. Won’t risk a third disappointing experience, especially given the cost.

12/02/2026: Very disappointed. Rang in order. After about 1 hour no delivery. Was then told I only rang 40mins even though I had phone time on my mobile. Food was cold on arrival went in the bin. Wont be ordering again .

14/11/2025: Confusion on order for delivery.. was well companced on the next. Thanks very much..
