Deelys Cafe
Galway
17/04/2025: Absolutely awful. Ordered the “full” Irish breakfast but honestly, there was nothing full about it, just a big empty plate with scraps. The fried egg was burnt, sausages were raw on one side and burnt on the other, pudding was half the usual portion size and also burnt, hash browns came out cold. Pretty clear no one in the kitchen cares.
Service wasn’t much better. A man asked to sit upstairs and was told it was closed, only for the next couple who walked in to be allowed up no problem. They make you pay up front, and after eating here I understand why, people probably refused to pay after seeing what they got. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.
29/03/2025: It was truly an exemplary experience. The service wasn't as bad as other reviews say, it was direct and polite.
The dishes and chocolate marshmallows were delicious. There are bathrooms on the third floor.
I would definitely come back for a coffee, a piece of cake, or breakfast.

KFC
Galway
14/03/2025: Would give zero if I could. Served under cooked zinger burger..see pic. Sent a complaint to kfc who came back saying all checks were done on temp control and fryers work automatically so can't under cook chicken. They were sorry I was dissatisfied with my order.
Well I'm shocked that kfc would stand over this undercooked food. They basically made me out to be a liar and offered a 15 euro voucher which just covers price of meal.
I tried doing the right thing of contacting them first before reviewing here but their response is awful.
The below pic and info is being sent to Hsa .
20/02/2025: They don't have orange juice. Like, screw you if you don't drink fizzy drinks. The burger wasn't even that great.

Milano
Galway
28/03/2025: The pizza is good but the prices are awful. 20 euros for a pizza?! Unfortunately I didn't see the prices until I sat down. I would not have entered if I saw prices. In Sweden a 20 euro pizza is a luxurious pizza with supreme taste and the best ingredients you can find. It tasted well but it wasn't that good. I'd pick another place, there seems to be many pizza places in Galway. I regret going here.
23/03/2025: I living in galway since 10 years and this was a really bad experience ,I waiting 40 minutes for one lasagna and the table beside wait 1 hour for get a wrong order,the food is ok but the price doesn't match the quality at all

Apache Pizza Galway
Galway
28/02/2025: I was just calling and a racist called me out for my english skills and said i shouldnt call again
22/01/2025: We ordered a takeway online while we were on the bus home the other day, and unfortunately were still stuck on the bus when it was ready and out for delivery, but the amazing delivery man (forgot to ask for his name!) offered to pick us up on the way and drive us and our pizza back home! Such a nice and kind guy, he made our day :D

Shake Dog
Galway
20/06/2024: It's never open yet it is still up on google as a spot
12/06/2024: Loved this place! Reminded me of Steak & Shake in the states. Food was close to American but just different enough to let you know you're in Ireland! Would definitely visit again if I ever get back to Galway.

Costa
Galway
21/01/2025: El chocolate caliente era agradable, pero me estafaron completamente
en el menú dice claramente que el más caro es el 5. 30 que ya es bastante malo pero cuando voy a por un chocolate caliente me pregunta si hay malvaviscos o copos? y ME COBRA 7€. 05 PARA UN CHOCOLATE CALIENTE que ni siquiera se llenó hasta arriba? ! ! ! ! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Mocha Beans Newcastle
Galway
15/11/2024: Went there for some coffee and had a
Frappe mostly it was caramel!- I have had better at costa coffee actually.
Ans a carrot cake!- it was nothing special but good in taste.
16/10/2024: I would like to point out that my review refers only to the bed and breakfast service owned by Mocha Beans, which is located above the bar.
My room was very small, with a bulky wardrobe.
Luckily I didn't have a large suitcase, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to open it.
The mattress is old and sagging, with springs that hurt my back.
There are no electrical outlets in the bathroom, and to understand how to use the shower I had to call the owner because I wasn't told that there was a button outside the bathroom to activate it.
Basically, there is no reception and you are given an access code to the main door, which is the same for the room.
I wrote to the owner several times in the days before my stay to ask if it was possible to check in at eleven/eleven thirty in the morning instead of 2 pm.
He never answered me and when I called him once I arrived, he showed up saying that the room was still occupied and that I had to come back at 2 pm.
I told him about my messages and that I had not received a response but he was not interested in the slightest.
Once I returned at two I had to wait on the stairs because the cleaning lady had not finished.
I had to ask for a hair dryer because there was none in the room. I was not provided with a shower mat and I only had a face towel and a large one.
I had trouble sleeping that night because of the mattress and in the morning I woke up around six (the only window in the room is on the ceiling and you can't open it because it is too high, in addition to not having a curtain).
For what I paid I didn't get a good service and also the lady who prepared the room seemed very cold, she didn't ask if I needed anything.
Passable cleaning.
The only advantage is that it is twenty minutes from the city center.
I will definitely not go back

Shake Dog
Galway
12/04/2025: Food was good .. prices have gone up.. meal deal for two meals was €25...still on the outside of the building..but is now €33 and portions have gotten smaller.
Went to the toilets after my meal, the disabled toilet had no toilet seat and when I went to the ladies, 2 of the 3 toilets had no toilet seat either. Woodies is across from shake dog, so they could easily buy toilet seats there and replace them.
There was one bottle of soap for both sinks and no mirror in the bathroom.
11/03/2025: It was awful did not like my meal at all genuinely felt sick from it , the fall off was atrocious. Never coming back here , the food was unedible , the staff reek

Vinnies Take Away
Galway
10/01/2025: Ordered a battered sausage which turned out to be a chicken battered sausage and only found out after I asked as it tasted so bad! Learned afterwards that they changed ownership recently but kept the same name and brand. So deceiving - will NOT be returning.
21/12/2024: It's not as good as before, quality has gone down.

Leaf and Bean (Ballybrit)
Galway
21/03/2025: We dined in for breakfast with some work colleagues and upon paying the waitress was annoyed and rolled her eyes when a receipt was requested and continued to tap her nails on the counter when entering email for receipt. A bit of courtesy and politeness isn't hard.
12/02/2025: A Disappointing Experience – Never Again!
I had high hopes for this place, but it turned out to be one of the worst lunch experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like we were an inconvenience rather than paying customers. No greetings, no smiles—just cold, uninterested service.
The food was equally disappointing.
Save your money and go somewhere that actually values its customers. I won’t be returning, and I suggest you don’t waste your time either.

Salt 'n' Pepper
Galway
18/03/2025: Good food, quick service, clean seats and beside the promenade. What more do you want..
13/03/2025: Popped in today for lunch. I’ve never had a chipper as bad. Tiny portions and the chips were somehow both raw and burnt in the same bag.

Gaslight Brasserie
Galway
19/01/2025: Dinner at the Hardyman Hotel in Galway was underwhelming. The dining room lacked atmosphere, with cheap furniture, plastic plants, and unused tables giving it a storage-room feel. While the staff were friendly, slow service and poor training let them down. The food was good, but the space doesn’t match the charm of the hotel. A missed opportunity in an otherwise lovely setting.
19/11/2024: Tuvimos la desgracia de ir a este restaurante el fin de semana pasado, simplemente deberíamos haber girado y salir después de nuestra 1 calle unos minutos, ya que podíamos ver claramente a dónde iban las cosas. Estuvimos de pie durante 4 minutos con 4 o 5 empleados entrando y saliendo y ninguno de ellos reconoció que estábamos de pie allí. Cuando finalmente nos sentamos (estuvimos reservados durante semanas) nos dieron menús y nos dejaron 20 minutos antes de que nos pidieran incluso una orden de bebidas. Solo había otras 3 mesas sentadas en la noche y un muchacho en una de ellas tuvo que subir y obtener menús 3 veces ya que el personal seguía jugando con ellos. Las apuestas eran deliciosas, por lo tanto las 2 estrellas, pero todo lo demás estaba muy por debajo de la par para un llamado restaurante 4 ☆. Incluso el pudín salió quemado y la roulade apenas se veía en los platos que eran tan pequeños. Nos sentimos muy decepcionados e insultados por nuestra experiencia.
