The best restaurants in Laois

14/08/2026: Great quality food and service. Staff were friendly and very accommodating about bill splitting. Good portions of food.

03/08/2026: We were disappointed with the overall service. It was extremely slow. Our drinks did not arrive until we had finished our meals. Also we were missing part of the food order. Waiters/ waitresses did not seem to know what was going on. Unacceptable for a hotel restaurant.

02/08/2026: Good burgers and chips serviced fast, only slight complaint ice machine broke

17/07/2026: Very noticeable shrinkflation!! Terrible chicken breast sandwich, thin, salty.. and with less sauce at the SAME price. This was our mandatory stop each time we go to Tipperary.. We looked forward to enjoying a thick & juicy chicken burger .. Very disappointed today.

13/08/2026: A lovely pub to visit, very friendly and welcoming

13/08/2026: My wife and I had a meal together here and the food was delicious and great value

11/07/2026: Have a yearly promise to ourselves to play The Heritage at least once, and we have had dinner in this establishment each visit. The first year, 2024 was excellent, great in every way, and we were looking forward to a repeat last year, but the facility seemed to be emerging from a rewiring exercise, with some issues to be resolved. Evening was less than we expected, but not enough to deter us from visiting again last month, but never again. Service was poor, stifling hot day, but our water jug was never replenished. No zero alcohol draft available, only one 330 ml can of Heineken in the fridge and two bottles of Moretti, for which I was charged €18! Some time after we placed our dinner order, we were told that neither pork dish was available, so I had to reselect my meal. All was delivered sometime later, and was pretty mediocre, with no visit from anyone to check if everything was okay. Listen, if you’re going to charge €80 for three ordinary main courses and three 330ml zero alcohol beers, you have to up your game. Suffice to say we won’t be risking a repeat performance!!

24/04/2026: Very good place, good food good mood belly happy😁

17/02/2026: I have a usual order that I have been ordering for the last 12 years. Everyone in Mezza Portlaoise knows my order. I went in one night and ordered my usual. I got home and discovered what I got was not my usual. I went back a couple of days later and the guy who appears to be in charge said he was surprised when my food was being handed out to me wasn't my usual order despite acknowledging that I had clearly ordered my usual order. I hadn't planned on asking for my next order to be free but when this guy acknowledged that what I got was not what I ordered I expected that 12 years as a customer might mean something and I asked if the order i had just submitted would be free gratis. Nope, wasn't going to happen and I made it very clear I will not set foot in this establishment again. Good customer service is not hard folks but apparently it is.
