The best restaurants

15/02/2025: Fresh cod and chips and battered sausage ordered. The fish was stuck to the paper bag and all the meat fell out of the soggy batter. Battered sausage was also soggy, chips not great either. There isn't a decent chipper in Bray.

18/12/2024: Nothing special. Will not visit again.

07/06/2025: Never a bad meal from here and portions are a good size .service is always great very friendly.

09/05/2025: Got a burger here late last Friday night, super tasty but my word, it was literally thrown into a large brown paper chip bag, when I opened it upon arriving home I had to reassemble it like a piece of IKEA furniture

13/03/2025: The service was incredibly pleasant. All the staff were very friendly and it really added to the nice atmosphere! I got the wrap of the day (teriyaki chicken wrap) and I devoured it. It was absolutely delicious. Would definitely come here again! 10/10

07/03/2025: Excellent place, very tasty food, like an avocado toast and it was excellent! The staff was very good

03/06/2025: This is definitely a pub for an older generation, who were having a great sing along with a mediocre performer. Staff were pleasant. My biggest issue is that it was a cash bar

24/02/2025: Just popped in for a lil tea break with my elderly mom and lovely to meet Friendly staff Good prices And best chips ever, thank you

11/02/2025: Not a good experience. stayed here last year for the Wicklow 200, but forgot to review..couldn't turn off shower after using it and hot water coming from both taps..twin room was very small and really in need of updating..

29/06/2025: Just got a delivery there with my partner chips where way overcooked rice was undercooked with loads of hard uncooked rice in curry sauce was way too watery and the chicken balls where disgusting so chucked that in the bin and have drove up to the chippers to sort the dinner wont be back

13/04/2025: Food has gone down hill big time!! Would avoid

24/11/2024: #bring candy back Off to the river Chinese I go Ordered 1 item and they were and hour cooking it manager is very awkward Wouldn’t wish it on anyone

18/04/2025: Very poor experience today (18th April 2025) at 13:15. My wife and I went in to order subs and weren’t even asked what size we wanted — the staff member just made footlongs when we only wanted 6”. We said we only wanted one toasted, and she toasted both anyway. When we asked for the meal deal, we were told only soft drinks were included. We wanted coffee and were told we’d have to go to the other side of the shop and pay extra — came to an extra €7 just for two coffees. Absolute rip-off. The garage owns the Subway and could easily include this in the meal deal price. On top of that, when I asked her to scan my loyalty app, she tried once and just said, “It’s not working,” with no apology or further attempt. She was rude and completely unfriendly throughout. Shocking customer service — we won’t be returning.

08/06/2025: Haven’t had ramen in a while and was impressed today. Despite being busy the food was made quickly and tasted lovely and fresh.

04/06/2025: Food was late so I called them they hung up. Food then arrived cold

03/07/2025: We don’t usually write reviews, but felt compelled to share our experience. We visited The Phoenix today and chose to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. I went in to get our drinks, but to our surprise and discomfort, we heard shouting coming from inside the pub. There were only a few customers inside, yet the barman was loudly and aggressively arguing with one of them. It was highly unprofessional and completely disrupted what should have been a relaxed visit. Sadly, based on this experience, we won’t be returning.

07/06/2025: Me and my friend have gone two nights In a row both times the drinks just taste bad though it could have just be a once of but second night the Guinness was just bad.

06/07/2025: My son was assaulted by the security on 4 of July for nothing he is now scared to leave the house

04/07/2025: Food can be slow to come out since it's renovation but generally food is good.

29/05/2025: Ordered food didn't get it. Git hung up on when I rang to complain

02/04/2025: Great food always delivered early

07/06/2025: I was there this afternoon a female staff member got my order wrong she put extremely spicy sauce on my sub I took a bite and it burned my mouth and lips I dumped it in the bin. I don’t understand how hard it is to follow the instructions she seemed pleasant but it’s not good enough and I didn’t see any manager today about it he wasn’t there. Absolute Waste of time and money. Can the staff and manager stop pulling the card machine away before it’s finished being used my card was blocked before because of this. It would also be great if they were nicer to the public not pick and chose who to be nice to and rude to. Do better all across the board much better.

06/06/2025: Great spot right beside the cinema and the shopping centre staff are real nice and friendly

29/06/2025: TERRIBLE: IF I COULD LEAVE HALF A STAR, I WOULD! Me and my friend came here earlier today to buy jollof rice and fried rice with chicken stew. but first of all they our order came sooo late, we stayed there for over 40 minutes and even after the order came and we checked it, we realised that they barely gave us any stew and the fried tasted very stale like it was more than three days old. the chicken? as hard as a rock. I couldn't even eat any of it. and we paid over 40 euros for this meal. it was so disappointing and it was definitely not worth such amount of money. what a waste! I dont even really leave reviews but I just have to put this one out there so I can warn people of such standards the 'restaurant' is living up to!

24/06/2025: Went for takeaway was charged 20€ for frozen okra and 2 pieces of chicken, (overcharged) whilst the people behind me got given more for 14€ asked what the price was again for clarity and was lied to my face. Avoid! They pick and choose

05/04/2025: For what it is, it's above average. Made all the better by lovely friendly staff and a clean dining area

18/02/2025: Nice café, tables kept clean and staff are very good. Hot sandwich selection, especially ciabatta could be improved.
