Costa Coffee
Portarlington
24/12/2025: Not the best time to drink coffee
05/12/2025: Absolutely horrible burnt coffee, normally love costa coffee but this was undrinkable. Staff were very rude when I returned with 2 burnt coffees insisting it was brewed correctly but not one of them would brew another cup to taste it to confirm that it was burnt. Coffee lovers AVOID AVOID AVOID. Had only left the shop and meet 3 other people who were also after having a sit down coffee and said it was horrible but they didn't complain but won't go again.

Golden Grill Mountmellick
Mountmellick
01/07/2026: The food is amazing and delivery is quick and the food is very hot when it arrives.
10/06/2026: Not bad in fairness quarter pounder and Donna kebab were small and poorly dressed. Loads of chips and they were very tasty. Shnack Box chicken was fairly good. Service friendly. I regularly get food from papalinos in bray and their food would be light years better than what's on offer in mountmellick. Still it's quite decent.

Best Choice pizza&kebab
Portlaoise
03/07/2026: I would like to make a complaint about the service from Pakistan owner customer service I received at Pizza Max today.
My son, who uses walking sticks and cannot stand for long periods, went into the shop to order a doner kebab. He was charged €10 for the kebab and was not asked if he wanted chips or a drink. He then had to come back outside to ask me for more money so he could order them separately.
After ordering, he waited around 10 minutes. When he went back to order the chips and drink, he had to wait another 10 minutes. No customer at all and he jot serious him.let him.wait for lond time i went into the shop and politely asked why he had not been asked about chips and a drink when he first ordered, especially as he has difficulty standing for long periods.
The staff member responded very rudely i am mother and he talk to my beside my son aggressively the Pakistani owner men
took €6 from the till and threw the money on the floor in front of me. He said, “Do you think I need your money? I have more money than you.” I explained that the issue was not about money, but about how customers are treated, especially a young person with mobility difficulties.
I was then told to leave the shop.
I am very disappointed by the poor customer service from pakistan , disrespectful behaviour, and lack of professionalism shown by this staff member. I hope this complaint will be taken seriously and investigated.
20/06/2026: Everything was fine until after i ate my kebab and chips and my stomach wanted a eviction notice 😭🙏

De-laois-ious
Portarlington
25/03/2026: Good value and quick delivery. The kebab could be better quality but it's not bad.
22/02/2026: Got a “so called” chicken tikka kabab to break my fast today as i was running late for home. If you guys think boiling chicken and drowning it in some sauce makes it a chicken tikka, you guys really need to learn a thing or two about cooking.
And this comment is coming from a guy who was fasting for 12 hours ( no food or drink) and your food was still unbearable.

Roma Take Away
Portarlington
07/05/2026: I don’t understand how this place is still open, food has completely gone downhill the last few years. If you order a delivery the food seems to be worse than in person.
21/02/2026: I’m extremely disappointed with the service and professionalism. I’ve ordered from here often for myself and my parents, and the food has usually as described . However, my most recent experience was unacceptable.
I placed an order through Just Eat for a make your own pizza for me and my dad. I selected a couple vegetables, which included peppers. When the pizza arrived, it had pepperoni on it. As both of us are vegetarians, we could not eat it at all.
I called the restaurant to explain the issue. The staff member then handed the phone to the manager, who raised his voice and repeatedly insisted the mistake was my fault, claiming I had ordered over the phone. I clearly explained multiple times that the order was placed online through Just Eat. He repeatedly asked for my name and order details but continued to insist I had called it in. It took several minutes before he finally acknowledged that the order had been placed online, but by then he had already spoken to me in a very disrespectful and unprofessional manner, raising his voice at me.
This situation caused me significant distress, especially as I was ordering on behalf of my father, who is not confident speaking English. I am writing this review a couple of months after the incident because I was very upset at the time and was worried about the review being linked back to me and affecting my parents’ ability to order from there in the future. The experience was very stressful and left a lasting negative impression.
I hope this feedback is taken seriously so that situations like this are handled more respectfully in the future. Mistakes can happen, but listening to customers and resolving issues calmly makes a real difference.
Based on this experience, I would not recommend ordering if you expect accountability or respectful customer service.
