Billy Bunters
Carlow
07/06/2026: The milkshake was delicious, and the french fries with chicken and mayonnaise were also very good. I ate until my lips were sticky! I highly recommend it to you!
24/05/2026: I really liked this place. At first, I thought a crispy kebab sounded like a strange idea, but after trying it, I completely changed my mind.
For those who don’t know, it’s a kebab wrapped in a fried crispy layer. Surprisingly, everything holds together really well, and the crispiness adds an amazing flavor.
I totally recommend trying the crispy kebab. You definitely will not regret about it!

Milano's Takeaway Bagenalstown
Muinebeag
19/05/2026: I ordered a takeaway from here over the weekend and was seriously impressed. The burgers were absolutely amazing – juicy, full of flavour, and clearly made with quality ingredients. The chips were just as good, perfectly cooked and really satisfying alongside the burgers.
What really stood out as well was the service. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.
I’ll definitely be ordering from here again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great takeaway!
05/05/2026: He's cooler than my buddy, there's the dog.
He served me perfectly.
