McGettigan's
Letterkenny
31/05/2026: The food was ok, nothing to complain about on that front, but the service completely overshadowed any positives this restaurant might have had.
From the moment we sat down, the waiter seemed to be anywhere but at our table. He rushed off repeatedly, forgot basic requests, and had to be chased down each time we needed something. It felt less like dining out and more like an inconvenience to the staff.
The worst part came at the end. I stood waiting to pay for what felt like an eternity, in a near-empty restaurant, being completely ignored, not just by the waiter, but by all the staff present. There was no acknowledgement, no "be with you in a moment," nothing. It was dismissive and frankly disrespectful.
When a restaurant is quiet and customers are still being treated this way, it speaks to an attitude problem, not a busy-night excuse. The food isn't bad, but I won't be returning until the front-of-house team learns the basics of hospitality. A shame, because it could be so much better.
19/04/2026: Lovely place for food. Good menu. I travel with a very fussy ex-chef but even he is impressed! Never had a bad meal there. Love the atmosphere and ambience too.

Domino's Pizza
Letterkenny
28/04/2026: Didn't stick around long as we only collected our order but the food was great the pizzas were done very quickly, considering we ordered when we got into the carpark. Lovely service people were very friendly and welcoming.
15/04/2026: Dominos in letterkenny is pretty good. I really value the fact that the place is consistent with it's food and the delivery times are fairly fast. As a chef myself, I'm extremely hypercritical when it comes to matters of food hygiene and I've never had any "red flags" raised when I'm picking up my order. We make an order once every 2 weeks and never had to return anything or had an order arrive incorrectly. Only ever had an issue once and it was rectified quickly and professionally. So honestly, you can't really go wrong here. In terms of pizza, it's on point!
I might add by the way, the delivery driver, Aidan/Aiden is genuinely one of the nicest delivery drivers I've ever come across. Always a positive experience with him and he's super friendly and genuine every single time he's the one delivering our food. 10/10 on that as well

The Napoli Express

28/07/2026: As soon as we arrived the owner kindly offered to do half and half as we thought we weren't that hungry.....we ended up having 2 Margaritas, 2 Pepperonis, a Vegetarian and to my delight a Neapolitan.

Clanree Hotel
Letterkenny
18/04/2026: I love this hotel. Great rooms, amazing breakfast swlection, lovely pool and very helpful staff. Close to town and local attractions for kids etc. McGettigans bar and bistro never disappoints....the food is so tasty. Been to the clanree many times and will be back again!
17/03/2026: It's ok. Rooms are clean but it's main business is busy tours and "bulk" travel. Breakfast often wedged.Has a McGettigans pub as part of the complex so not really my kind of thing.
The leisure center is nice though.

McGettigan's Hotel
Letterkenny
04/05/2026: Very pretty nice staff. Suitable for all ceremonies. Car parking area available.Enjoy the Life
27/04/2026: This is a lovely hotel situated in the heart of Letterkenny. We stayed for one night. The location is great with lots of bars and restaurants close by. The room was very clean, comfortable and a good size. We booked a double but it also had a single bed. We had food in the bar. The service was excellent. The staff very friendly and helpful. It wasn't expensive. We had pizza, triple cooked fries and cheesy fries. The triple cooked fries were a bit underdone. Crispy on the outside but hard in the middle. The pizza had too much cheese. That might seem like a trivial complaint but it spoiled the pizza somewhat. Despite that, I would highly recommend the hotel for an overnight stay.

Mr.Chippie, Mountain Top, Letterkenny.
Letterkenny
29/06/2026: Absolutely disgusting behavior from the manager of mr chippie. My family and I were having food on tuesday evening with my 2 year old child who happened to be crying as we were leaving when the manager had walked in and told us “sort her out” while pointing at my 2 year old child and walked on. My child is being assessed for autism and and has behavioral issues hearing this as an already struggling mother i ended up crying my eyes out, when i brung this up to management they replied with ‘?’. This is clearly an ongoing issue as its not the first ive heard of this specific manager leaving people in tears and now picking on a 2year old child? disgusting behavior management should be ashamed of how they treat their customers.
29/06/2026: Ive ordered a portion of fish and chips and when my chips arrived they were cold and rubbery, the fish smelt like it had been cooked in a jacuzzi 😷👎.
