McGrorys
Culdaff
21/03/2026: We met for lunch. The food was excellent, cooked fresh and served with a smile. The staff were lovely; very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
16/03/2026: Very disappointed with our meal here. After getting a recommendation, we decided to have Sunday lunch here. We were told that no tables were available until 16:30, so we booked for then.
We duly turned up at that time,and they tried to seat us in the wrong part. After pointing this out, we were taken to find a virtually empty restaurant. So, why having to wait until 16:30 for lunch?
The young staff ignored us for a while until we called one of them over. We chose the Sunday roast, which was a very limited menu (2 starters, 4 mains, 2 desserts).
We ordered, only to be told that they had run out of lamb. Have you been around Donegal? What is there a lot of? Sheep!
The chowder was rather thin and the vegetable soup uninspiring.
The mains were OK (just), although the Yorkshire puddings looked like Aunt Bessie's and were tepid.
I chose the crumble for dessert and asked for it, and the custard, to be very hot.
So, of course, when it arrived it was stone cold (not even warm). That got sent back...
Overall - very poor quality and we won't be returning.

03/10/2025: Stopped for a coffee on the way to Rosapenna. We needed a caffeine boost and found the perfect spot. A lovely sunny Sunday afternoon and this place was busy!
Always a good sign.
One staff member on duty behind the counter so had to wait a little while.
We had our coffees and some cake outside in the courtyard area, enjoying the Autumn rays 😎
Great experience
Would recommend 👌

McGarrigles Restaurant
Bundoran
04/04/2026: Excellent food.
Place doesn’t get enough credit.
Highly recommend.
24/03/2026: Had dinner here one sunny thuraday while walking about bundoran. Ordered 2 steak baguettes and 2 pint bottle of bulmers.
The steak baguette was a joke. It was real tough beef sliced up small and covered in peppersauce. Not good enough charging 26 euro and calling it steak when its poor quality tough beef strips.
The food came out in roughly 5 minutes which is very poor sign when your hoping to get a nice fresh meal.
The pint bottle of bulmers cost 7.95. The owners of this premisis musy believe they are in the middle of templebar dublin. Such extortion for a pint bottle of bulmers. Atleast 2 euro too expensive.
However Staff were good bar not getting my order right which can be annoying.
Never going back agin. And would not recommend

Warehouse Bar + Kitchen
Letterkenny
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.
04/02/2026: Good place to go with friends, ask for the Ribeye
