04/04/2026: Food and coffee was great! Breakfast bap and sausage roll are a great combo!

Cahill's SuperValu Ballybunion
Ballybunion
14/01/2026: Store and Staff are great. Newly refurbished and lovely store but the bottle bank at entrance and smell is such a turn off. Entrance is filthy and such a let down to shop.
11/01/2026: More expensive than other supervalus especially around the summer time

The Cliff Restaurant
Ballybunion
10/05/2026: Delicious chips and JD cokes but restaurant on Google maps says permanent closed why ?
18/11/2025: When I was there the owners barred me for absolutely no solid reason! The owner Fiona gave me the shocking news that I was barred! Some bar staff told the owner a lie that I was rude and I wasn't and the hotel never to this day apologize d for it! Then, a few years later I was thumbing a lift to Listowel when she once again rude towards me telling me she would stop this car and I'll get out! I ve no idea why I got in car in first place! This woman is downright rude and pins blame on everyone else, she never apologize s for being wrong! Before that happened it was a really nice hotel, delicious food but I'd advise you before you go into this hotel, rethink!

SIZZLE & SPICE
Ballybunion
30/09/2025: Excellent food and I would recommend €25 deal for 4 people.
12/08/2025: Busy place with seating but food and service is slow. Although cheap you can find better quality elsewhere. Taco chip for e.g used totally plain mince and was almost putrid :(. Want something specific on your pizza? They had 4 tries and got all of them wrong. A shop with a brilliant location but poor organisation.

Atlantic European and Chinese Restaurant and Take away
Ballybunion
08/06/2026: Beware of chef special Sarawak laksa it’s missing a soul and it tastes like it.
Sorry I try not to say anything less than good but sometimes it’s so annoying I have to.
It’s usually a soup but here it’s dry
It’s a famous dish and should be epic, but it’s a learning experience and hopefully it’s gonna get better
09/05/2026: We ordered a takeaway for a 20 person stag group and the service was fantastic, as was the food. Friendly staff and great food.

Mario's
Ballybunion
14/10/2025: The chips were good BUT the fish was the worst fish we had ever tasted!!! It was somehow already covered in batter ready to cook and the batters had become chewy and encased the fish which looked white with no shine or life and was tasteless. I would suggest cooking fresh fish from scratch in the usual manner, if not do not buy their fish.
07/09/2025: I visited here when I was last in Ballybunion. My mam and cousin were with me. We came about 19:00 for food after the beach. Waiting 30 minutes in the queue understandably because it was the evening time.
Loved the food

The Coast Cafe
Ballybunion
28/12/2025: Very bad service. Me and my boyfriend went here for lunch we were told we needed to wait until the kitchen turned over from breakfast so they couldn’t give us a menu even though we could of just been looking at it until lunch started but that’s fine. The section we were in wasn’t even prepped for the next customers like after the family beside us had left nothing was done to the table for a good minute but I get that it’s a thing that maybe needed to wait. We were told it be 10-20 mins. We thought okay we’ll order some drinks until then we weren’t in no rush. We completely finished the drinks after so long still no service not even to see if we wanted another drink. We waited over a hour I know by then we should have left. Then new customers came in automatically got a menu and got food no waiting we were absolutely fuming no observation or organisation skills. Then we went to pay nothing said and the person behind the counter had no friendly character at all. Horrible experience luckily we just made it in time for a roll from the shop.

Wilde Ballybunion
Ballybunion
03/08/2025: We had a lovely dinner at The Lounge at Ballybunion and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The menu had plenty of choice, with something to suit everyone. The food was delicious — hearty portions, fresh ingredients, beautifully cooked and very reasonably priced. The Guinness was also excellent.
The relaxed atmosphere made it easy to enjoy a proper sit-down meal without feeling rushed. It’s clear that this is a place where locals and visitors alike feel at home. Highly recommend The Lounge for a family-friendly meal in Ballybunion — we’ll definitely be back.
19/07/2025: Arrived for a meal. Hadn’t been here for a number of years and was looking forward to a relaxing meal overlooking the course.
When we arrived there were plenty of tables we would have liked but were told they wanted to keep us at one end of the restaurant and gave us a table directly under a TV which was far from relaxing. We moved to another table near but still amongst a crowd so did not get the relaxing experience we hoped for!!

JD's
Ballybunion
20/07/2025: What an absolute disgrace! Please be warned, they only serve you half shots in your drinks. Keep an eye on the bartenders when they are pouring your drinks. Rude bouncers. Charging €10 for entry and won’t even let you finish your drink when they are closing. I live outside of Ireland now and used to frequent JDs ALOT and it breaks my heart the absolute state of the place. It’s the middle of July and it used to be the place to be. Greed ruins everything and that just sums up JDs!
