26/10/2025: Phoned the shop with a request and they went above and beyond to assist me. Very pleasent to deal with, look no further.

13/09/2025: Been meaning to get over to this place for a while! Landed over a little late, but was still able to get a feed….and bhoi was it worth it!!

02/07/2025: We had breakfast here. In addition to the super delicious and fresh baked goods, they also offered bagels and pancakes. The Americano and hot chocolate were great, but the pastries were truly delicious and fresh! It's a shame we're moving on today.

13/09/2025: Great experience would recommend it to anyone

18/07/2025: A nice old-fashioned bar on Buncrana main street.

07/09/2025: A nice hotel right in the heart of Letterkenny. Everyone we came across were nice, and the room was nice as well. There was enough parking while we were there, and they have an underground parking area as well.

27/07/2025: Great choice of menu. Was too full for dessert unfortunately. Will be back. Might need to book a table on a Sunday

07/07/2025: Tasty lunch, staff very attentive, will definitely return.

02/10/2025: One of the best decaf coffees i have ever had. Didnt need any syrup or sugar. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. Cant wait to come back and try the food

16/09/2025: Good food at a reasonable price

02/11/2025: Having frequented the rusty mackerel for years without an issue i feel it has changed somewhat & not for the best. The food was mediocre at best and priced way above average. The Guinness used to be the best around even that standard has gone. Cmon lads get it together need to do better .

02/11/2025: Friendly service and very good food. We have rarely eaten so well in Ireland.

07/09/2025: It was open according to the internet but very closed when i arrived sunday 3.30 p.m

27/08/2025: Great bar excellent food,music in the evening 👏

29/09/2025: Called in here today after a walk in Ards, delighted we did, service, food and atmosphere were fantastic. Darragh was very nice and friendly, talked and made us feel very welcome. Lovely big fire on, place was spotless, toilets were very clean and loads of hand wash and hot water. Will certainly be back and highly recommend this place for food.

17/08/2025: Lovely and great for food with children

05/10/2025: Truly amazing place with gorgeous views and beach right nearby, fabulous breakfast and cappuccinos, super nice staff, comfy beds and very nice and big rooms and bathroom. We ate dinner one night which was fabulous and well worth it. Overall great value and quality

09/08/2025: Beautiful old house and location if slightly out of the way. The bedroom we had was large and the bathroom huge with an old-fashioned bathtub with ‘feet’. The restaurant staff were absolutely delightful and the 2 or three course meals, even if pricey, were top-notch. There was an issue with s night-time fire alarm but the hotel rapidly compensated us for the inconvenience. We probably wont be coming back for a couple of years but we will certainly consider returning at some point.

13/10/2025: First class meals enjoyed recently, friendly staff and its spotless, recommend to all

11/10/2025: I love everything about Mellys, fish and chips tea and bread and butter, the food of the Gods

19/09/2025: I had such a great experience ! The burger was fresh and delicious, full of flavour, and the shawarma was juicy and so yummy. My son is usually very picky with food, but even he loved it .and that says a lot! The whole family enjoyed the meal. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend! The best think I like as mom ,the kitchen and the shop is very clean, normally I do t eat outside but I really love to eat or order from here 😁

15/07/2025: Hello. We’d like to share our disappointing experience at your café. We approached a staff member (not sure if they were a cashier or a waiter) to ask about the price of the tiramisu. Unfortunately, they didn’t know and just ran off saying “one moment” — we ended up waiting for about three minutes while they were gone. Eventually, they came back and told us it was €3 for a portion of tiramisu served in a plastic container, around 200 grams. Sadly, the dessert was very disappointing: it was hard in texture, had an overpowering smell of alcohol, and the taste was unpleasant — we couldn’t finish it and had to throw it away. Moreover, no one told us if we were allowed to sit anywhere, so we ended up eating on a worn-out bench in the shopping centre. We also had to ask for spoons separately. Overall, there was no proper service and the quality of the food was extremely poor.

28/09/2025: gorgeous food and atmosphere, i would rate higher if i had the option !

18/09/2025: This place must have changed! I was there in 2010 and ee were just the 4 of us in October by the fire. Playing music, drinking homebrew and pints... Hmm, I'm wondering what happended since :)
