20/12/2025: You won’t get a nicer breakfast in town. The full Irish is a proper feed. The club sandwich is also lovely. And massive. At Christmas they do a festive club which is unreal. I’ve only recently deviated from my usual orders or either a breakfast or a club sandwich. Tried the loaded fries (pictured above). Sweet Jesus. What a feed. The belly buster burger is a sight to behold. Check out the pic. You'll need a lie down after it. Big credit to the staff also. You get service you only would from a family run business. A big welcome, bitta chat and craic, and efficient quick service. Port is lucky to have Eddie’s in town

01/09/2025: Fantastic full irish breakfast! We were dying on our way home from Electric Picnic, stopped in here for some breakfast, walked out like whole new women. 10/10 recommend and the staff are lovely!

09/12/2025: ​This is probably the best coffee shop in Portlaoise. The interior is really lovely and it’s a great place to sit. ​The Coffee: As a specialty coffee fan, I was a bit upset that they don't serve Filter coffee, only espresso-based drinks. They also have a lot of syrups on the counter, which isn't usually a signal for a strict "specialty" coffee shop. ​The Food & Milk: However, the alternative milks here are amazing—definitely a highlight. I also have to mention that they have really nice dessert options, which go perfectly with the coffee. ​Verdict: Overall, it is a lovely cafe and the best option in town. Just keep in mind it's more of a comfort-coffee spot (syrups and lattes) rather than a pure specialty black coffee roaster..

28/11/2025: Lovely staff and coffee but the front door doesn’t close. It is Baltic in there; very, very cold.

22/11/2025: Everything just perfect, thank you!

30/07/2025: We just moved to Ballylynan and ordered from Rockys for the first time. Absolutely blown away by the quality of their pizza. Genuine wood fired with incredible flavour. Turn around speed was impressive.

18/04/2025: Rocky’s garlic cheese chips would be what I’d ask for my last meal. 10/10 always.

14/12/2025: :-) A lovely, always charged and friendly atmosphere. Super attentive staff.

19/11/2025: Old authentic Irish Pub, no frills or fancy stuff, just character & crack.

10/09/2025: The females ignoring me in this café too like on the rest of the town 💔

18/04/2025: Great pub for small groups in the bar and large groups in other area. Had 50th party there, was great night

27/10/2025: 2 of us arrived and even though they were mad busy. The lovely staff fit us in for some food and gave us a gorgeous roast beef dinner. I'd highly recommend here for food for anyone passing or in the area.
