The best restaurants

31/07/2025: Worst dining experience of my life. I ordered udon noodles with prawns and teriyaki sauce, and what I got was honestly the worst udon I’ve ever had. It felt more like teriyaki with a side of udon than the other way around. The dish was made with zero care or attention, completely lacking in love or effort. Extremely disappointing. Save your money and stay away from this shop!!! 🤯

07/09/2025: The initial professional welcome by the chap on duty was my highlight, thereafter it was interesting as this dinky and oh so trendy eaterie beyond the ladies 'leisure shoes' section positively leaked customers. No 'Front of House' staff stationed at the entrance, with, it seems, only two staff seemed manning the fort, a third on barista duty. We watched bemused as ignored and impatient ladies walked away while the priority seemed to be to clear tables. Ok, to the food: elegantly presented maple bacon croissant for me and a chorizo hash were tasty brunch items with decent herbal teas and coffees. Two poached eggs with each were cooked perfectly and the croissant was good for the 'mopping-up'. There's a good buzz in and around this place so maybe BTs has finally got a good café formula. Tweaks will come and the hard-working staff will hopefully get some leadership..

01/08/2025: Kinda Terrible... Order: Chorizo Hash (€17.50), Chicken Wrap (€15.50), 2 × Americano (€8.40). Total: €41.40. for a below average brunch. The chorizo hash was mishandled twice. First plate arrived with hard-cooked eggs; when I queried it, the response was awkward with the waiter, another staff member rescued the situation from afar. The second plate swung the other way: the egg whites were undercooked and runny, you know like snotty egg white (gag) and the dish was over-sauced and oily. The chicken wrap and coffees were fine, and the room is pleasant, but at these prices I expect consistency and properly poached eggs. Service was willing; execution wasn’t. Bottom line: disappointing overall — we won’t be back. I'd suggest, don't waste your time / money here.

29/09/2025: The breakfast is good, but the lunch menu is terrible and the same thing every day: pasta, pizza, sandwiches. They look good, but the taste is hard to describe... Why can't there be a proper restaurant on campus? Is it difficult to offer different dishes every day or a semi-buffet restaurant?

05/09/2025: The food is very bad! The problem with Gather&Gather is that we make beautifully looking food, but unfortunately it tastes bad. Also, why don't we have normal food menus like all the other universities? TCD has different lunch menus everyday with at least four options including chicken curry, grilled beef, fish and chips...lots of options and true lunch food!

02/05/2025: Went in when the door was open and no staff to be seen. Google mentioned that the cafe was open until 4pm, and this was 3pm. Eventually when someone appeared, she was very rude and seemed affronted that I came in to the cafe. The door was wedged open and music playing loudly inside and there was still someone sitting at a table having coffee. Would not go back if that’s the reception and matches with most of the reviews here.

13/09/2025: Food is very nice and good sized portions but pricey. Recommending the slightly spiced chicken salad bowl ( which has a spiced yoghurt sauce) and the barnyard chicken toastie ( which has a BbQ mustard sauce). The fresh cream desserts are equally generous in size. It had a very airy open sit down area. They blend their own coffee as well.

03/09/2025: Stellar service from staff. On my own, feeding my baby and they went above and beyond. Owner really looked after me. You can see how by setting an example at the top - it trickles down. Everyone is fantastic. I’ll happily pay for that kind of service.

28/07/2025: Got a spice bag that was not a spice bag. Just very salty chicken and chips (no peppers or onions). The chicken was also very hard.

25/07/2025: Decent food however I find the staff to be very rude from my past experiences, my most recent one being where I placed an online order, which was rejected from the kitchen as the restaurant was “closed”, the restaurant was not in fact closed and not advertised to be closed online for another hour, I’m still currently waiting for a refund from my bank as the money was taken out of my account. I find the staff very rude when you place an order in person as they are very snappy and make you feel like an inconvenience. In conclusion the food is only decent and not worth the hassle of the rude staff

06/10/2025: Filling stations who take your money but do not provide a toilet, do not deserve your support.

12/05/2025: Ok shop - buy tea, coffee food etc but they have no toilet. I will go to a service station in future where they lnow what service is.

11/12/2024: I order two meal deals but only received one portion of chips when I tried ringing to rectify their mistake nobody answered the phone I must have rang 4 or 5 times

02/11/2024: Ordered online and was told food would be ready at 16:16. Drove from my house in Ardee only to be told we don’t open till 5 yet online it’s says yous open at 3. Very disappointing and it’s clear service has gone down in the past few years.

17/10/2025: Food is absolutely shocking form here, place is completely gone downhill and the price of it too, never ordering again from the Kip

10/10/2025: THE MORE HORRIBLE CHICKEN TENDERS EVER!!.. THEY WERE ANYTHING BUT "TENDER" MOSTLY CHEWY, HARD AS THEY WERE LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN COOKED FOR HOURS AND THEN REHEATED ON THE FRIER .FLAT AS PANCAKES...MORE THAN HALF HAVE GONE IN THE BIN ....WASTE OF MONEY...

21/09/2025: The food is really delicious and the staff are super friendly. A great takeaway spot! Highly recommend the spicy bag and the BBQ sauce — both are amazing.

31/07/2025: well i got a take away last night cost 31 euro for a 3 in 1 and 4in1 and 2 noddles and 2 drinks lets start with the price id pay less any were in Longford and the food is nicer the chips in the food was the frozen chips that was pre cooked and then heated up since ye think people don't know there food reheated food has a different texture than freshly cooked food the chicken was rubber the curry on the 3 in 1 was not proper curry it was a cheap curry im sure they store in a cardboard container due to the taste of cardboard of the curry the sweet and sour on the 4 in 1 was sour like not like proper sweet and sour like to the point i nearly got sick the rice was not soft it was hard the noddles tasted like crap words cant describe the taste of them like i get it all the food is pre cooked and reheated but for anyone that has a brain and wants to get there moneys wort in food go some were else the prices in this take away are a joke for the way there food is ii shall not return or offer my business to them agen only one gud part of the experience was how polite the delivery driver was very nice man

24/03/2025: Ordered a cake for my sons birthday… today the day of collection I received a refund no explanation nothing.. drove to the shop in swords closed..

19/03/2025: Great bakery that serves lovely coffee and almond slices.🍰

29/06/2025: Apologies for posting but I stopped at Feast Cafe to buy a takeaway coffee. The coffee was unfortunately terrible. I’m not sure how a cafe can serve such horrible coffee beans but hopefully if I post this comment, the owners will change by buying & serving drinkable coffee.

15/03/2025: Very rude waitress brought out the wrong food and was very rude and dismissive when we told her the food was wrong. Will not be returning until they change the rude staff member. My friend has been very poorly since eating at the restaurant. Don't go to this place awful staff and food makes you ill

16/09/2025: I have a complaint about this place: every time I buy my favorite coffee, it doesn't taste good. They are stingy with the caramel, or on one occasion they gave me one that wasn't what I ordered. Also, the coffee isn't so cheap that they don't put love into it... I hope it improves.

28/06/2025: A meagerly stocked franchise. The cappuccino I had was watery and unpleasant. A cappuccino should be a light and frothy morning drink, not a scalding hot insipid latte.

14/10/2025: We have been living in Killarney for 6 years and yesterday was the second and last time we visited. We arrived at 19:50 and waited 20 minutes for someone to come and serve us... Even though the waiters had seen us! There were 2 waiters and there were only 3-4 tables with people. You mean we left, terrible behavior!

05/09/2025: Was absolutely ok, friendly staff and tasty, but expensive beer 😊🍺

01/11/2025: Needs a food safety inspection filthy rotton food

27/10/2025: All the tables are dirty. The cleaner, instead of doing his job, laughs with the employees. The fries and nuggets were cold.
