The best restaurants in Carlow

27/08/2024: Not great food steak was burnt and cold chips cold and wife's chicken curry not great microwaved but then found out it was closing since the food being cold

29/07/2024: The room was spacious, but the carpet had some dirt on it.

01/05/2025: I originally had given this restaurant a 5 star review on the back of having been there a number of times. However, having recently returned, I found that this place has dropped a lot in quality and service. I believe it has changed hands/under new management and it would appear to have gone downhill since then. Such a pity, it was a great place to eat and family friendly.

11/04/2025: Unfortunately, food was just ok and that's me being "generous". Service felt like we were back in 90s. Atmosphere was like a nearly closing down place. Huge potential in the right hands,but definitely not into whomever runs it now. I'm not the person to complain and haven't said anything while settling the bill (which was 74 euro for 2 people and not even a "thank you" received). Won't be rushing again to eat here,for sure.

18/08/2024: Hemos estado yendo aquí desde que tengo memoria, pero durante ese tiempo ha habido varios cambios de gestión y con cada uno el estándar baja y ahora ha tocado un mínimo histórico. La nueva dirección tiene un trabajo entre manos dando la vuelta a esto, ya que la comida era constantemente horrible y quiero decir horrible! ¡No quiero ver ningún negocio fracasar, pero así es como va esto a menos que encuentren un chef que sepa cocinar!

11/07/2025: Estuvimos allí la semana pasada y la experiencia fue mucho mejor. El personal es muy amable. El pescado y las patatas fritas valen la pena y el rosbif se derrite en la boca. Conocimos al nuevo chef, que también es el gerente de alimentos y bebidas, nos informó nuestro mesero Cian. Quedamos realmente impresionados y volveremos.

11/07/2025: Tuvimos una experiencia muy agradable aquí el miércoles 9 de julio. Nuestro camarero era un muchacho joven, muy amable y servicial, genial con nuestros niños, nos hizo sentir como en casa. La hamburguesa vegana era increíble, muy fresca y deliciosa ensalada en el pan vegano. Los niños pidieron espaguetis a la bolaña, porciones muy generosas. La tarta de queso horneada estaba increíble, los niños quedaron encantados con sus galletas y helado. Lo recomendaría sin duda y volveré por su carne asada.

29/06/2025: Bueno para una comida agradable. Realmente podría hacer con chapuzones más grandes porque delicioso. Uno o dos platos no de primera calidad pero muy buenos. Algo de inglés sería útil.

13/12/2024: Now under new management excellent service and food 4 stars only because the menu could have more choice

27/03/2026: It was nice to see this restaurant reopened and the food did not disappoint. There was a good choice of main meals and what I really liked was that my fish was cooked fresh. The service was very prompt and the staff were all lovely. Even a veg bowl for our baby wasn't a problem. The meals were lovely and the kids meals were good value as well.

04/01/2026: Got a panini there was too much sauce in it. Later on in the day i dont feel great either does my partner and we both got chicken tenders. Would not recommend and is an over prices deli

17/07/2026: I bought one small cheese pizza and one portion of chicken wings, which came to a total of €18.50. Because my younger sister is still a child and didn’t know the price, she handed the cashier €30. However, she was only given €1.50 in change, when she should have received €11.50. When I realized what had happened, I went back to the restaurant and spoke to them politely. All I wanted was for them to understand the situation and check the security camera so we could resolve the issue in a friendly and respectful way. We have been loyal customers for many years, which is why this experience was extremely disappointing. Very disappointing and completely unacceptable. When we arrived, they immediately insisted that their employee was right, making it seem as though we were the ones who were lying. They chose to believe their staff without properly investigating and treated us with a clear lack of respect. We asked to speak with the cashier who had served us, but the owner initially refused to call her over. After I found her myself, she then suggested checking the CCTV again and kept avoiding giving a clear answer. This was after they had already repeatedly insisted that their employee was correct. It is truly upsetting that after supporting this business for several years, this is how we were treated.

28/05/2025: Ordered a cake for my daughters 21st from the quigleys website. Very easy process and cake was absolutely beautiful. Looked great and tasted great. Couldnt have been happier. Really recommend to anyone who is considering using them. Thank you very much quigleys.

18/04/2025: This place is a pleasure to visit.

20/08/2023: Nice personal and good quiet place.

20/08/2023: When we walked in people who works there where with the big smiles 👍... I had that feeling that we are very welcome 🙏 recommend this place if you want to have good time ... Next time will go there earlier to try the food ... heard that it is good too. 👌

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 😋
