The Mr Chef
Muinebeag
08/07/2025: I made a mistake with the order. I called immediately to cancel it. I was assured that the order was refunded to me. 10 days later and I still don't have my money back . I also sent 2 emails to the site administrator, where i placed the order , I tried to call ... no response. avoid this place, dishonest owner !
15/06/2025: food was delicious—especially the chicken vindaloo, which was perfectly spiced and full of flavour. The service was impressively quick, and the guy at the counter was polite and welcoming. Everything tasted fantastic and the prices were excellent—very good value for money  . I’ll definitely be back!

Billies Grill&Coffee House
Carlow
17/10/2025: I recently ordered from Billy's Grill and Restaurant and while the food was very nice, I was quite disappointed with the service from the two girls working at the front of house. They were very ignorant, bad-mouthing other staff members, cursing, and swearing. There was no politeness at all—no please or thank you. When I called to order, I wasn’t even greeted properly; instead of a friendly “hello, this is Billy’s Grill,” I was just met with a curt “yes,” which felt quite rude. Overall, the food was good, but the attitude and service from those two staff members really let the experience down.
16/10/2025: I ordered the Spicy Box for delivery, and it was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. The delivery was super fast, and the meal arrived hot and fresh. Highly recommend this restaurant — great taste and excellent service!

Riverside Cantonese Takeaway
Tullow
14/09/2025: Food is always amazing and doesn’t disappoint . however there is a young girl that works doing phone. My family ordered a few different things off the menu for my birthday, nothing complex and the order was wrong, only realised when the food was checked at home. It was an ordeal trying to get the food correct and trying to speak to someone more senior, this isn’t the first time it’s happened. So check your food before you leave!!!
23/06/2025: Hard to get thru on the phone.. says open on the app and drove down and was closed .. but food is very good 👍

Joe's Chinese Restaurant
Carlow
18/07/2025: Fui a una comida familiar 3 A 3 K, me decepcionó mucho el tamaño de la porción. Me sirvieron 2 cucharadas de arroz frito, donde todos los demás recibieron una porción individual de arroz hervido o fideos fritos. Tener que pagar más por arroz frito pero que te sirvan una porción de la mitad del tamaño del arroz hervido es muy descarado. No se molestará en volver.
26/06/2025: The food is delicious and definitely worth the price.

Costa Coffee
Carlow
31/07/2025: Stopped for a coffee while I had a meeting, staff were very nice, coffee was decent and had a little treat. It’s a big enough space that you can find a quiet spot to work and have a coffee.
21/07/2025: Great spot for meeting people. Always a good stir in it

CIAO
18/07/2025: blonde with braces seems so be doing everything (brilliant worker) other one with brownish hair with black top short had a smart attitude i wasn’t happy with first and last time
18/07/2025: CIAO is a great grab and go spot. I had the açaí bowl and oh my god, it was the best one I’ve ever had. You get to pick your own toppings, and it was so fresh and delicious. I can’t stop thinking about it.
I also got a matcha latte, which was nice, but I wish it had a stronger matcha flavour. That’s my only small note. The vibes were great, it was pretty busy so expect a wait but I’d definitely go back. Next time I’m trying their protein balls, they looked amazing!

The Clink
Carlow
25/10/2025: Great space, great staff, nice portion size, not so good with flavor. Moreover, meat was overcooked.
15/10/2025: Despite living close to it, we had never had a meal in The Clink before last Sunday. We arrived for a pre-booked meal, and on arrival were seated promptly. The staff were extremely attentive, the food service was efficient, and the quality was excellent. No complaints from anyone, and the options for our vegan contingent were very good. One observation was that the T-bone steak was served on a sizzler plate which was a little small, and made it a bit challenging to cut, but the quality of the food more than made up for that small oversight. Will definitely be going back. Well done.
