26/10/2023: I love the chipers always get takeaway got keab and pizza meal god it wasn't nice not much meat no salad as usual have fab salad on it chips not cooked very well and cold rang back in twice but no answer but hubby will be in soon and will say there's a guy in there not sure if owner does fab food

02/08/2023: I have placed two delivery orders with De-Laois-ious Kebab, and I must say I am extremely satisfied with their food and service. Both times, I ordered the chicken shawarma kebab, beef ciabatta, and a portion of chips. The portion sizes were generous, the vegetables fresh, and the meat was perfectly cooked, not overcooked. Despite being out of town, the food arrived in a timely manner and was still fresh. I wholeheartedly give them a five-star rating and truly hope that they maintain this top-quality food and service. I look forward to continuing to order from this fantastic establishment.

12/09/2023: Great food and great service. Staff are excellent

26/08/2023: Messed up my order twice after paying for large i was given small and then the delivery driver who was supposed bring my refund tried to charge me instead of giving me the refund

03/04/2024: Excellent Quality of food. Extremely high level of customer service. Very clean store and customer area. Would 100% recommend Portlaoise Dominos. 🍕😀

31/03/2024: Garlic dippers were excellent. Chicken dippers/tenders were poor quality. Ordered half and half pizza. One side had black olives and whoever made the pizza fired 99% of the olives on one slice and a few scattered on the other slices. Laziness

06/01/2024: Got a southern fried fillet burger tonight and it was as hard as a rock. Absolutely horrible and usually there food is OK. 😡 Rotten

06/01/2024: I absolutely love this chip shop. Great service and food is always fresh and very good, and to make it even better, they do great midweek deals you can get a lot of food for your money which is great when your feeding a large family. They never scrimp on the portions, which is great. This chip show is about a 10 minute drive from me and I go here even rather than my local in my own town which is 2 minutes away because the food is freshly cooked all the time the portion size is great and the amazing deals they do and when your feeding 5 adults it can save me the difference of 20 euro buying here as to buying in my local so its a no brained. 100% recommended the Golden Grill in Mountmelic.

05/03/2024: [Editing per Google request] Visited this cafe this week with my parents, both of whom are elderly. The cafe itself is up a set of stairs which does have a disabled lift.... but the disabled lift doesn't work. The weather was fine so we decided to sit outside, as neither of my parents could climb the stairs. I was told there was no teas or coffees because the water had just gone. Understandable, but annoying nonetheless. I took a look at the menu board to order food and the first two items I attempted to order were "not available today". This was around 12pm so I'd find it hard to believe that they'd ran out of these items already. I ordered a single (albeit large) sausage roll with a few salads, a ham and cheese panini and a bottle of water and a packet of crisps. Came to €25.80 which is very poor value. I will not be back. The glasses provided for the water were also dirty. It seems that cafe management could do a lot worse than read the reviews here and elsewhere and take onboard the inputs of their growing list of far from satisfied customers. It's all actionable feedback. It's a real pity because the cafe building and location are fantastic. Anyways - here's the comment I was going to submit directly to the owners: Can someone in your organisation take a look at the comments on Google for your Emo court location? Seems like there's some low hanging fruit in terms of actions for management which could avoid further bad reviews for your cafe. Feeding back directly on the comments is a low bar expectation of cafes and restaurants like yours these days. From this remove, your lack of action / interaction comes across as apathy. Not a good look for a customer facing organisation like yours.

03/03/2024: My mum, myself and my 2 daughters had a fabulous afternoon tea here. Two of us have coeliac disease and our food was lovely, very impressed. We all had a nice range of food. Lovely ambiance and nice staff. Definitely recommend 👌

09/03/2024: Great coffee, you can get a really good decaf coffee here. Food is OK, nothing prepared in house. Very expensive! Small portions. Staff are very friendly and helpful 8

03/03/2024: Extra service star for drive through

25/03/2024: The staff are always friendly and hard working. The food is good, been ordering from here for years and have never had an issue. Happy to be a loyal customer of this business.

28/02/2024: Excellent quality food and delicious food and amazingly friendly helpful staff

23/03/2024: Not the nicest staff at all, not a bit helpful or nice.

13/03/2024: Dirty, cold food, nasty, impolite staff. Manager does not give a toss. Won't be back.

14/03/2024: Very nice food, lady at counter was very helpful, and it is the best Chinese food in Portlaoise.

12/02/2024: Have to say always getting orders wrong. Lady on counter nice. But you get home with order and it is wrong pity as food is good

09/02/2024: Ordered on just eat and received my order delivered to my door 15 mins later. Great service. Food was nice too!

01/04/2024: Would definitely recommend this place . Best Chinese in portalington. Their spice bags are a must have and curry sauce doesn't taste watery . I always get either spice bag, the 12 chicken ball meal or singapore noodles . All prices are very reasonable and everything always comes warm and tastes lovely. Kevin is always it kind and talkative to customers .

24/11/2023: Please don't order from here, food took an hour and 20 minutes to arrive, specific instructions left on the chefs note online were not adhered to or looked at. Food was awful and greasy, dishes did not taste or look like dishes ordered (Chicken Schezuan ordered and Sweet and Sour chicken was delivered). Online ordering platform does not give any detail on any dish, prawn toast ordered came drowned in honey sauce but the addition of honey sauce was never mentioned. 4 in 1 came with boiled chicken, no option to order anything else nor was is mentioned what chicken comes with the 4 in 1, requested chicken balls in the chefs notes but this was ignored and boiled chicken was recieved. Food was also barely warm but after waiting nearly an hour and a half for food we had to make do. Will never order from here again.

29/03/2024: Fantastic food a little bit expensive bit great food

09/01/2024: Good food as usual but €12 for half dinner TAKE AWAY is too expensive

03/03/2024: was waiting over an hour for my food when I realised I put down wrong phone number on my order I rang to let them know and to ask about my order the woman shouted at me over the phone saying they were at my door knocking , wouldn’t even let me speak as she kept shouting on the phone to me that I put the wrong number down! No one had been at my door trying to deliver either must have been at the wrong house as I was waiting, I sat beside my door waiting to hear someone two doors down from me so they had the wrong house in the first place! The delivery driver came down to my house and started to give out to me over the wrong phone number again! not a way to be speaking to customers I’ve never had someone talk to me like this from a restaurant! Will not be ordering from here again, shocking way to treat a customer who’s been ordering for years.

14/09/2023: A standanrd Apache Pizza store for takeaways and deliveries. They share the shop with a Thai and Chinese takeaway. Staff are nice in both places and the food is great.

19/03/2024: Not one for negative reviews but this place is the worst Take away I've encountered. Dirty , Cold small Chips, cheap kebab meat , No salt and Vinegar even offered. Definitely will not be returning here ..

14/01/2024: Looking for job part time/full time pizza shef /kabab shef I had 3 years fast food experience thanks
