The best restaurants in Laois

21/12/2025: Theyre open late, gets you right out the anvil, I asked for nuts and extra spicy and they made it EXTRA spicy, exactly what I wanted for no extra price, I need to pop by to give some tips

27/11/2025: Always great food here. Have used them to cater parties a number of times too and guests always rave about the food. Tonnes of it too. I will never be skinny as long as Tina's is open

06/11/2025: Let me start by saying the the two older ladies in the deli and lovely, however, this is a Maxol issue and the two ladies were not behind the deli. I like a sausage and we're all annoyed with the constant prices rising for everything but the standards have also dropped. It's like a free for all, a grab and run with businesses against their own people. Get the food while it's hot! 'No pun intended'. I just have to show what they're making and charging a euro for, you don't get to see the real quality until you break or bite into it. Absolutely awful and the lady that's behind the glass isn't the most pleasant to return it, however, I think that's a language issue rather than rudeness, she's probably lovely. So, it isn't personal, you expect a nice sausage for a euro, which went up 10% in the past couple of months and the quality went down. I know this is a small issue, but it underpins the bigger one, quality and greed in Ireland from business owners. Let's be honest, the sausage came in a big bag and probably cost 15 cent. You can't justify the mark up on things! If you're putting up prices, the quality must improve!

13/10/2025: Nice and convenient place to get a coffee, filling up and getting some papers. Car wash outside is also very good. However, one of the staff members in Deli are absolutely horrible. There's no need for rude comments about what people are ordering, we're paying for it in the end. Couldn't figure her name, but you should be ashamed of yourself. I'll avoid getting deli from this place.

11/04/2026: Love Royal garden amazing food great service and lovely staff . My go to Chinese and the best Spice Bags in the land !!! Highly recommend the food here ! 10/10

21/02/2026: Very disappointing experience — the worst takeaway in Portlaoise. We were told delivery would take 1 hour, but after waiting an hour and calling, we were told it would actually be 1.5 hours because it was Saturday. After 2 hours we called again, and the woman on the phone was extremely rude and dismissive, saying they were busy and then hanging up. Absolutely unacceptable service — a total joke.

16/04/2026: Come here with your family, you won't regret it. I rarely leave reviews, but this place has my respects. I kissed the chef's hands. Imba Cat

13/04/2026: Nice food and good portion sizes! Free ice cream at the end which is great

13/03/2026: Always love their singapore noodles (chicken) what i got the other nite was not the chicken i usually get!! I was not impressed if i wanted a spice bag i would have ordered that!! Noodles should not be served with breadded chicken!

28/02/2026: Been neglecting this Chinese. Little did I know it's the best one in the town. The best wings I've had and the wrappo's are 10/10. Food arrived piping hot 🔥

10/01/2026: Omg u should try there chicken burgers sooo nice and the staff are the best every time I go there I try something different and it's always good so I would give them 120 out of 100 xxx😅

25/03/2026: A beautiful place with the asian vibes including the ambiance, let alone the tasty oriental food. Have a visit for yourself and family! ❤️

27/10/2025: I hate leaving negative reviews but feel like tonight I have too. Yes staff were lovely and food too. But service lenght was crazy. When arrived was one couple having their mains, we told to pick table (2 adults 1 kid) then another couple came in just after us. Placed order within 15 mins but took 45 mins to hr for kids meal and 2 starters to come out 2 us. Then a further 40 mins for our mains once finished starters. Yes was few people placing phone orders and coming in to collect but to have one person doing phone orders, plus front of house serving is crazy. Could see people left waiting ages on takeaways, one person been told all ur order ready apart from one item that they forgot to put on. Poor person waiting over 20 mins Food was so yummy but wait time was ridiculous

10/04/2026: Just got an order for collection from here. Doner meat in the wrap and kebab was absolutely freezing… inedible… chips raw.. all to go to the bin.. don’t waste your money

03/04/2026: A wonderful restaurant, the pizza is excellent, the delivery person is very polite and pleasant to talk to, the delivery arrived even earlier than it was written on the website, I really liked it, I will definitely order again

27/12/2025: It was my first and last time with Domino's Portlaoise. Very unpleasant experience as I received overcooked and burned pizza. Couldn't expect that from this brand atleast !!

10/12/2025: Went into shop and had to wait 5 mins for someone to show at the counter. A ginger haired girl served me with not even a greeting. I asked for a 9 inch pepperoni pizza and payed 12 euro. Got my pizza and realized I was given a 11 inch. I was unhappy as I wasn’t hungry enough for a 11 inch and left overs were throw into bin. I then went back up to the counter to get a drink and was waiting another 5 mins with nobody to serve me. The staff here are always 10/10 but this is not the first time this one particular staff has been rude and looked like she doesn’t want to be there. I hope management brings this up Immediately.

24/04/2026: Drive through takes way to long. Probably too small especially with growth of portlaoise

15/04/2026: Filthy , even after refurbishment, , some girl like manager talking in her own language , god knows what?

14/03/2026: One of the most delicious pizzas I've ever tried

06/03/2026: Very poor service and food here..I regularly order pizza from Apache and to be honest the service and delivery is just getting worse. Lin who owns the place seems to get involved and is very ignorant when speaking in the phone. It's my second time ordering where items are missing and food is cold when it arrives. I have ordered here for the last few years but it is get worse the longer it goes on..someone who does the franchise for Apache should review Just to add to whom ever replies from Apache Ireland..ringing the restaurant to complain does nothing. They promise things to be fixed or free pizza next time but never do either

29/11/2025: Had an absolutely lovely gluten free chicken nugget meal! Food was all presented in seperate safe packaging and the bag it was in had a gluten free sticker which is great for preventing confusion! Good gluten free option, very impressed and satisfied with it. Chips were also very fresh and nice.

23/10/2025: Third time I've been to the drive thru and ended up with the wrong order..... Called the waiter to confirm what what is the bag and he just walked away....staffing should be looked at along with training....disappointed won't be returning

09/11/2025: I waited 25 minutes for a small milkshake like I’m sorry a milkshake all u need to do is you pour it in

01/09/2025: Yes what used to be my favorite fast food joint is finally getting back to quality burgers, 🍔😁
