22/04/2025: 5 Stars – Highly Recommend! Rios Takeaway in Portarlington is hands-down one of my favorite spots. Every meal is freshly cooked to order, and you can really taste the quality and care that goes into it. Their homemade pizza is absolutely top-notch — crispy base, generous toppings, and packed with flavor. And the battered sausages? Easily the best around. Crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside — comfort food done right. What really sets Rios apart, though, is the atmosphere and the people behind the counter. This isn’t just a takeaway; it’s a place built on family values and genuine friendships. You can feel it the moment you walk in. The team always greets you with a smile, and there’s a real sense of community that makes every visit feel personal. It’s rare to find a place where the food and the people are both this good. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Portarlington, Rios is a must-visit. You’ll be glad you did. – Aaron

22/04/2025: We had a great stay in the Heritage Golf Resort. We went with four couples and had paid for the penthouse rooms and they were unbelievable. We used the pool, gym, spa and a round of golf, all in their own rights really good facilities, especially the golf course. We didn’t have dinner in the hotel but, we did go down to The Thatch Pub which is only two mins from the hotel. Really good food and drinks, small bit of live music also. The breakfast was average, nothing bad and nothing really great about it. Overall we had a great night at The Heritage Golf Resort.

28/04/2025: Tasty good. Great service. Lovely atmosphere

18/04/2025: Fantastic place for solo or accompanied lunch:) The food is really healthy and nutritious and there's a generous portion of it. If you are protein lover you'll love the salmon and egg options and avocado implemented in sandwiches. This place is very popular and the only drawback are limited space and waiting queue. The latter, on the other hand shows you how popular the place is. Staff are very efficient and lovely.

18/03/2025: Lovely old school pub, all the better for having TV removed. Guinness is great.

03/04/2025: A return to an old place from my past, and it was a blend of my past and present. I used to enjoy nights out in the old Leathan, ( way way back, think I was there the second night it opened. ) and the extremely wonderful Jeremiah Grants. I ordered the steak, and it was perfect for my taste, then a generous slice of apple pie. My wife had the Hawaiian burger. Both meals were perfect. Thank you to the staff of Jeremiah Grants for providing us with a evening I will be remembering for a long time to come.

24/03/2025: Just had a few cocktails. But was always they were great and the staff are very friendly
