The best restaurants in Carlow

03/01/2026: Yesterday I was famished with hunger I decided to pop into kfc Carlow I seen on the outside what’s clucking Carlow I’ll tell you it’s not the meat they serve you it’s an amalgamation of all that’s unholy the “chicken” I got to get rid of my hunger 1 single peice 1 and some chips I ate the “chicken” and chips didn’t feel anything my hunger was relinquished at last later that night around 3:42am my stomach rumbled didn’t think nothing of it when I came home from my friends instant pain in my gut boy oh boy I went to the toilet an explosion of pain heat and liquid shoots out of me at the speed of a fibre optic internet cable I’m on my second exorcism to try get this unholy mystery meat out of my body I will not come back here just remember 1 single piece of chicken also the filth of th entire place bin was overflowing trays and old chicken and gravy smeared on the ground I seen a person almost slip on it lady who served me gave me a look of pity when I ate the chicken

29/12/2025: Very poor customer service. A female employee Sadia gave very poor service. She does not care about customer.

31/10/2025: We ordered the original doner. My friend didn't like the taste. Another friend actually said it was a pretty good place, so if you don't like lamb or beef like the Turkish ones, where they have minced meat sticks or something like that, you're better off trying other flavors.

26/10/2025: I ordered food for collection and the girl said yes about 15 minutes. When I got there in 15 minutes they kept serving people in front of me. I told the woman behind the counter I ordered my food for collection 15 minutes ago is my food not ready for me to collect? They said they had to serve the people who were there before me first and that is skipping the queue.. I said no that is a collection service and not skipping the queue. I told them that everywhere else offers this service and it is not seen as skipping the queue anywhere else. They said they half cook it as they don't want it to get cold if ppl take too long to collect, but it was very clear to me that they hadn't started cooking at all. This is not a collection service and not very nice to be accused of trying to skip the queue when they never told me they didn't do collection when I called up and asked for that service. It's a pity cause I ike the food but the ordering service is too long so will avoid from now on.

18/01/2026: Some days chips are cold somedays they are covered in salt another day there is no salt on them.. the only good thing in mcdonalds is the coffee. They allow a certain type of crowd in that only hand around vaping and charging phones and just being a nuisance to most people

23/12/2025: It's at a handy spot . Right in front of Penny's.

07/12/2025: Affordable prices, great rooms, very convenient as it is right in the centre of town.

02/11/2025: Says free parking, there isn't. It's free after 5 o'clock in a public car park (like everywhere) so be wide of this false advertisement. Room was standard once ur able to get in after knocking the door 20 times and many phone calls which weren't answered.

08/09/2025: Nice local pub with friendly staff and visitors

11/08/2025: Waitress peeped the hangover, cordial on ice provided asap, sorted. Really set the tone for what was to come. Scran was just what Dr. Netwatch Cullen ordered; infallible, generous, delicious, well-cooked. Would frequent. Would recommend. 1bill / 5

18/01/2026: Half pounder good Pizza good Battered sausage good Chips ok Chicken stringy

09/01/2026: Unprofessional and inappropriate behavior from staff. Staff yelling across the room and overall environment, not very pleasant.

14/10/2025: Went in for to get breakfast Saturday and there was no organisation in the place There was so many couples inside waiting including ourselves.. A couple of young girls were behind the counter and no one taking charge. It was ridiculous so we left to go somewhere else and got great breakfast and service Very disappointed Won't be there again

25/09/2025: Super little cafe, thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Wonderful large full Irish breakfast for very reasonable money. I'll be back.

17/11/2025: Had a horrible experience today, staff are rude except for one Irish lady who was lovely. Had my sons service dog with me so from the moment we walked in they werent happy. Food was nice but my friends order was wrong and staff member gave out when we complained.

12/09/2025: Nice cozy place with friendly staff and delicious pastry 😋

16/11/2025: Shocking food, the only think acceptable was the coke. The battered sausage was horrific, I left it behind . The chips were grease laden

06/11/2025: Excuse my half eaten doner tray but this is amazing, honestly it is full of quality and the taste is full of flavour! Have to say these guys know what they are doing whilst also making your moneys worth! Thanks

07/12/2025: Pizzas were wer only ok. Had nice here in past. Chips nice

14/08/2025: I arrived at the hotel after 9:00 PM and the restaurant kitchen was closed, only beer. And at the reception they told me that there was a burger place nearby that was open until 11:00 PM. The burger place vaguely resembled McDonald's, and one of the two employees turned out to be a cheerful Czech who lives in this small Irish town. Well, where else would I speak Czech if not at 10 PM in the Irish wilderness. While we were chatting, the Czech made a burger with a double patty and fries and put it all in a paper bag. He just put the fries in. I was a little surprised, but I didn't attach much importance to it, as well as the weight of the bag that was solemnly handed to me, and I, happy, went to the hotel for dinner. But when I opened the bag, I was horrified. In a good sense of the word. Because there were about 10 servings of potatoes, maybe 20. Casserole. That's why the package was so heavy. And I didn't pay attention to it at first. Thank you very much for your kindness and the delicious dinner! I arrived at the hotel after 9 PM and the restaurant kitchen was already closed, only beer was available. And at the reception, they suggested there was a burger place nearby that's open until 11 PM. The burger place was vaguely similar to McDonald's, and one of the two workers turned out to be a funny Czech who lives in this small Irish town. Yeah, where else would I speak Czech at 10 PM but in the Irish boonies? While we were chatting, the Czech made a double cheeseburger and fries and put it all in a paper bag. I just covered the potatoes. I was a little surprised, but I didn't think much of it, nor of the weight of the package that was ceremoniously handed to me, and I happily went to the inn for dinner. But when I opened the package, I was horrified. In the good sense of the word. Because there were about 10 servings of potatoes there, maybe even 20. A big pot. That's why the package was so heavy. I didn't think much of it at first. Thank you so much for your kindness and the very delicious dinner!

22/12/2025: I felt very uncomfortable eating my food there's one blonde lady was giving dirty looks to me and my sister the food was great everything was great but the staff was extremely rude could you please sort the staff out

11/10/2025: The food was terrible. The meat and salad were stinking. Will never eat here again. I wish I could get my money back.

28/12/2025: As pizzas go it's nothing special but I will say the food is good and waiting time is quick

22/10/2025: Service is zero paying customer and female manager decided to deny a 3 yr toilet.so my child sat crying and waiting for a mentally unstable rude manager from not letting her use the toilet. After refusing us twice we had to go to a kind barber shop and i wasnt even a customer.last time i buy anything from you.disgusting behavior in dominos Unit 1, Castle Hill Centre, Castle Hill, Carlow, R93 T625 Dont have your name but ben in your store knows the whole story.ben and other staff refused to tell me her name and she clocked out and left.looks like the staff is also scared from her.looks like she abuses the staff as when i asked foe the manager name they were saying sorry and about to cry themselves.

08/09/2025: Ordered 2 portion of Vermicilli noodles and a portion of egg fried rice, only got one delivered along with the egg fried rice witch was black and burned and then the second one came burned as well and every veg on it and piece of chicken was black and the smell of smoke and burned food was to much ! Never again, bin the food you get of them , prices are over the top and for what ? Nothing trust me.

05/08/2025: Nice vegetarian Bento Box, staff are lovely.
