09/02/2026: I have edited this review due to the initial review being written after some drinks. I felt it was a bit more of a rant than a constructive review. We didn’t have food so can’t review that aspect. Our first night was a good experience. We stayed for around an hour and had a couple of drinks which were nice, then went around a few other bars. A good experience. Second night we arrived to a very pleasant manager at the door, however once we sat at the bar we were ignored. Sat for about 15 minutes beside the bar and no-one made eye contact or asked for an order, so we eventually just left. There were at least 3-4 staff walking around. There was a male bar staff member who also made us feel uncomfortable. He wouldn’t stop hovering around his female colleague who was busy preparing drinks. He literally came to the sink directly beside our table as we were sat at the bar, within 4 feet, never looked at us, and cleaned utensils for her to use and brought them to her. He was obviously more concerned with making an impression on her than serving me and my partner. His had a weird energy toward her and we weren’t sure the female staff member was even interested in talking to him. It was shortly after this we decided to just leave. I want to note that I was contacted by a manager who wanted to speak with me about this experience to deal with the concerns raised in this review which was appreciated. It was a shame to have a poor experience but I do believe it has been taken seriously and management do want to provide a good service.

03/03/2026: Beautiful fish and chips tonight-this restaurant never disappoints-and of course great service with a smile from Adele

31/01/2026: Walk in diner, staff lovely friendly, perfect place waiting on a bus or going to shopping centre very convenient!

06/09/2025: Very nice lunch experience. Probably fairly priced. Not much else like this in Letterkenny. They are all very pleasant to their customers. Had a bit of a wonky table, only downside.

06/09/2025: Delicious food! And lovely atmosphere. I would go back to Letterkenny just to eat here!!! I can’t wait to go back!

16/11/2025: 10/10, nicest roast in cork, shocked there isn’t a quee out the door, picture doesn’t do it justice.

18/10/2025: I could not fault the rendezvous. We have been there for food as a family and we recently just celebrated my daughters 2nd birthday. We had a fantastic spread of finger food for 10 adults, fabulous variety and gorgeous quality. We were looked after by Josh from the booking to paying the bill and I could not find fault in the whole day. The service was impeccable the food was exceptional and nothing we asked for was too much. The extra attention to detail given to the kids with colouring and ice cream which was really appreciated. Compliments to the chef on a beautiful spread of food. We've also eaten from the main menu previously and the options were fantastic, an option for all. Definitely somewhere to go for a party, a few drinks or a Sunday/Saturday afternoon.

07/03/2026: Rude service & food poisoning need I say more

06/03/2026: Had a really nice experience at Lucas in Letterkenny. The food was well prepared, and full of flavour. You can tell care goes into the ingredients and presentation. The service was also excellent, the staff were friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience very comfortable. Overall, a great place to enjoy good food with great service. Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Letterkenny.
