The best restaurants

08/09/2026: I was passing through Dún Laoghaire, saw a Wetherspoons and thought coming for dinner would be a great idea. There’s standard pub food, cheap drinks, decent meal deals, and you generally know what you’re getting. I ordered the €19 deal with three plates: cheesy chips, nachos and BBQ chicken. I was sitting at table 66. Not long after ordering, I noticed a server walking around the pub carrying food and asking people at different tables what their table number was. I didn’t think much of it at first. She seemed to be going from table to table trying to work out where the food belonged. I opened the Wetherspoons app, checking my order because it had been a while. 66? Yep. 66. Another five or ten minutes went by and I noticed the same server again, this time carrying what looked like the three plates I’d ordered. “Table 66?” Yes. 66. I wasn’t quite sure what to do because, rather than putting the plates on the table, she started handing them to me. Somewhere in that exchange, the BBQ chicken went everywhere, leaving a considerable amount of BBQ sauce smeared across the table. Her response was, “Oh, you can still eat that.” I said no. Because I really couldn’t. What followed was bizarre. She handed me the remaining plates and left, so I took them and plonked them on the table next to me. A few minutes later she returned with a single napkin to clean up a table covered in BBQ sauce. I asked her to come back with more. After a few attempts, the table was eventually wiped down and sanitised. I then asked whether the chicken was being replaced. She said yes. So I waited. I ordered another Guinness. And then they finally arrived. About 15 minutes later, the replacement chicken finally appeared. She apologised and said “oh, the kitchen didn’t add the BBQ sauce.” I told her directly,”I want the sauce.” Another 20 minutes passed. No sauce. By that point the replacement chicken was cold, I finished my second Guinness, and I didn’t want to deal with this anymore so i gave up and left. I completely understand that Wetherspoons is inexpensive and you get what you pay for. Sure, I wasn’t expecting fine dining. But taking nearly an hour to successfully deliver a meal to a numbered table, then suggesting I could still eat the meal that had just been dropped all over that table, is a bit much. Cheap food is one thing. This was just incredibly poor service.

07/09/2026: Nice location. Fairly good food.

12/09/2026: My partner and I were part of a party of 6 for dinner. When the waitress came over I asked for a beer while we were waiting for the rest of the group to arrive. I was informed that they don't sell any alcohol in the restaurant. The waitress said I was welcome to go to the nearby Centra off license and bring beer back. I threaded my way through the winos and junkies along the quay and successfully returned with 6 bottles of Heineken. The staff were good enough to provide a bottle opener which saved me biting the top of the bottle with my teeth, phew! The food wasn't bad however one member of our group ordered chicken and got pork instead. I went to the loo only to find that after locking the bathroom door it would not unlock. I was trapped. I sent a text to my wife who came to the rescue. After sliding the key under the door she was able to unlock the door from her side. Free at last! As I returned to my table, I reported the issue to the first member of staff that I met. He heard what I said but ignored me and walked by me without responding. At no point did any member of staff ask us how was the food or did we need anything. Be warned also, the restaurant is cash only and does not accept electronic payment. I would definitely not return or recommend to anyone else.

05/09/2026: Have eaten here a few times; the food is normally okay, although I would not call it authentic Indian. The manager (male) is very rude and has a really gruff manner. I thought it was just with me, but my wife had a similar experience. And we won't be going back.

30/08/2026: Attended during Annual August vintage car club picnic

27/08/2026: Beatriz the supervisor isSOOOOOOOOOO MEAN ABSOLUTELY THE RUDEST PERSON EVER LIKE BRO GET A LIFE. The way she talks to you like you’re some lowlife like girl cmon. Be for real. Would definitely report but don’t care. Hope she reads this tho and decides to be better to people.

10/09/2026: Lots of happy children. Very nice.

09/09/2026: We needed to charge the car after leaving the Dublin Ferry Terminal on our way to Armagh. This was a new experience for us. I bought a Burger King meal as I was hungry. Its been nearly 20 years since I have had a Burger King meal. I had the Angus Farmhouse, large chips and a hot chocolate. WOW. This was the best burger I have ever had it was very tasty and very big. The chips were thick, big and lots of them. I cannot recommend Burger King meal enough. Very clean polite and helpful. If ever I am there again I wont hesitate to go in. If you are ever there then please try for yourselves. Thank you. A few days later I called into a Burger King in England. The difference was amazing. Similar meal but so much smaller.

01/09/2026: Disappointed with our fish and chips here as the ones we got at Doolys on the pier were gorgeous. The fish was dry as if it had been reheated and the chips were soggy.

06/08/2026: I got fish, chips and sausages. The batter on both the fish and sausages was thick and soggy. The chips were limp and greasy. This place has gone seriously downhill. I won't be going there again. Skip it if you can.

06/08/2026: Ordered samosa chat. I did request the chef to add a bit more spice. I just say I was not disappointed, it was spicy the way I like it. The quantity was very much enough for a person. The taste was very close to the chat I have in Mumbai. Fair play.

04/07/2026: Really good food, really enjoyed

01/01/2026: The food was delicious, the portions were huge and the service simply fantastic. The host and waitress were amazing and contributed to a wonderful pub experience, the best in years for me. If you are in Nenagh, I highly recommend stopping by for some food and/or a drink. Loved it.

05/12/2025: Tables where filthy and the place cold. Prices are also ridiculously expensive for basic fried pub food. Bartender came to our table, saw the dirt, grease and dried ketchup on our table, then walked away. We got up and left. What an overpriced dump!

27/09/2026: Their ice cream is just proper dairy milky ice cream, and proper Cadbury flakes that haven’t lost their taste with temperature!

07/09/2026: Went here today , usually wouldn't write a review but I was shocked at the aggressiveness of the staff. Blonde woman , sounded English, served me . She was annoyed that I had "not ordered the same time" as my friend , even though she had told us to both sit down after my friend ordered and walked off , speaking to other people. Felt very unwelcoming there. Food was alright, bit overpriced. Reading the other reviews, seems like the staff just hate their job .

29/06/2026: Food is ok but the service is very bad anytime I went here i was waiting for me food for over 30 minutes and then I would be missing an item. If you go here make sure you have all your food before you leave.

19/06/2026: The wait is very long, the order is wrong, the employees are not friendly and not ready to help, the priority is to issue orders to cars, you can wait more than 25 minutes for 1 burger

05/04/2026: Closed at 7.45 on a Saturday evening would serve me fuel... what a joke 2.20 per ltr aswell.

27/05/2026: I ordered them online, the food I didn't get and the money back

10/05/2026: I had a great experience at Kebabish Longford. The food was fresh, tasty, and full of flavor. The kebabs were well prepared, with generous portions and good quality ingredients. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick and efficient. The place was also clean and comfortable. Overall, a very enjoyable experience — definitely recommended if you’re looking for good halal food in Kinnegad.

18/08/2026: Good food, decent portions. I love the way the place is designed inside. Barely any people most days, which I love.

11/08/2026: If I could give less than one star, I honestly would I’ve been having lunch at Zambrero Beacon regularly, so I know what the portions are normally like. Unfortunately, today was a completely different experience The manager served extremely small portions of everything. I’m not sure if she was training someone or simply having an off day, but the amount of food was honestly ridiculous for what you pay On top of that, I was asked for an additional student card to validate the Student Meal. I’ve always used my Student Leap Card, and I was never previously asked for anything else Apparently, I’m now expected to carry another card from my college just to prove I’m a student, despite the fact that TFI already verified my student status when issuing my Student Leap Card🤷🏻‍♂️ Between the miserable portions and the unnecessary hassle over the student discount, the meal simply wasn’t worth the price Thankfully, there are plenty of other places around Sandyford where you can get a decent burrito bowl for your money

12/08/2026: Closed down by the FSAI. Food Safety Authority of Ireland... Read the report and it's shocking... Basically the kitchen is filthy, filthy, filthy... Old dirt and grime... How can the these people be in the food business... Should be banned and never allowed to serve food again....

10/08/2026: We went for breakfast, being a southern Indian restaurant, it didn't offer that great taste. The overall atmosphere wasn't good either may be because they moved and setting up. It's okay for once a while but better options, improved taste, service and cleaning might help to bring us back here again.

11/08/2026: Great for breakfast. Really quick service.

15/04/2026: Had a nice quick snack here. Food was nice and served very quickly. Will return...
