Shannons Corner Restaurant
Ballyshannon
06/06/2026: This review is for those who are expecting Shannon’s to still be dog friendly. This is no longer true. Even calm dogs who sit silently under tables will be turned away. Hopefully one day they change the policy back so that my 5 stars can be genuinely earned. I hear the food is very good.
03/06/2026: We popped in for breakfast on a busy weekend day. The full breakfast is great 😊

Golden Dragon
Ballyshannon
14/06/2026: Normally we get it to go or enjoy down in O’Donnells as dogs are not allowed upstairs. It is the only restaurant to offer tofu dishes in the area, so you’d think beggars can’t be choosers, but honestly, the sweet and sour tofu noodle box is my favorite in all of Europe. Yah…I just said it…all. of. Europe!
03/06/2026: Just dined here recently and the food was delicious.
I was a bit apprehensive when we arrived as the place is up over a pub and a bit dated.
When we got inside the Mammy came over to us and she is very pleasant and eager to ensure everything is ok, this is a family owned and family run business. We’ve had a delicious meal and it wasn’t expensive at all and will definitely return the next time I’m in Donegal.

Dicey Reilly’s Pub, Off-Licence, Microbrewery & Beer Garden

19/07/2025: I loved it here! It was such a welcoming atmosphere and everyone was so friendly! The food is so so good and the bartenders were extremely nice! If you’re ever in Ballyshannon I’d def recommend stopping by!
20/06/2025: Ordered wine from their website and it arrived the next day, impeccably packed with a little treat inside and a personal note. Exceptional customer service - I will definitely be purchasing again.

Filling Station Takeaway
Ballyshannon
27/04/2026: Don't waste your time, 9pm and no batter or breading for fish , sausage or scampi
Takes 5 minutes to make batter if you were bothered
Terrible service
Since editing the review is my only option to reply to the "Owners" lies
There's only 1 AJs in Ballyshannon
I know exactly where we were
There were 2 women working, we went in grabbed a menu and were told we'd be waiting 30 minutes for food which is perfectly fine
When we went to make the order, battered fish, battered sausage, scampi and chips
We were told by one of the women that she had no batter or breadcrumbs left and was not making any at that time of night 9pm
I don't appreciate lies, laziness or bad service
You sir/madam are a lier
Don't waste your time with this place when the owner clearly cannot admit to what actually took place and chooses to come on here and attempt to gas light people
You could have apologised or even ignored the comment but you chose to lie and gaslight
To reiterate ,we were in AJs of Ballyshannon Donegal last night at 9pm and our experience there is 100% what happened
06/04/2026: Gave us the complete wrong order and then refused to deliver the correct items. We had to make a second half an hour journey back to collect, at which point we were disgusted to find that they were planning on giving us the items that had now been sitting out for over an hour. They refused to cook new ones. We are new to the area and this was our first experience of selecting a takeaway in the local area. We shall not be returning and will have to look elsewhere

Nirvana
Ballyshannon
26/03/2025: I want to get to know that area for its gastronomy, culture and people.
23/11/2024: The reason it got 4 stars is the premise was cold on arrival at 6pm ( it doesn’t open at 17:30 as stated on trip adviser )
I had the Chicken supreme and better half had the fish and chips. Have to say very tasty.
We were served by Anastasia who was very polite, moving us to a warmer position etc.
I recommend Nivana, but leave to a bit later if weather is cold

Tête-à-Tête
Ballyshannon
12/03/2025: Nice breakfast. Friendly staff.
Very cold in restaurant.
06/03/2025: A nice place that pleasantly surprised me. From the outside, it looks like a typical fish and chips shop, so at first, I wasn’t sure whether to go in. However, I’m glad I did!
The food exceeded my expectations. The beans were perfectly seasoned, and the baguette was fresh and crispy, making for a simple but delicious meal. The portion size was just right, and everything tasted homemade.
The atmosphere inside was cozy, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. If you’re in the area and looking for a casual but tasty bite, this place is worth checking out!
