18/01/2026: Nicely decorated restaurants stone walls and ceiling beams,wasn't impressed by the service ! We were waiting 20mins to be even asked for our orders thats criminal !! ,no offer of jug of water or titbits to nibble on as you wait.The food itself was ok the burger is super thin you get 2 on your bun to try make it look decent,the fries were average, also what put me off returning here is the noise of the music blaring I feel like you're competing with the racket playing while trying to have a conversation.

13/01/2026: A but chilly inside but the food was great

16/10/2025: We were visiting family and went there for something to eat. From getting there it felt like we were welcome. We got our table and Danni Kennedy served us. She was very welcoming and friendly. It just felt that she could not do enough for us. The food was excellent and very tasty.

16/10/2025: Went to Jeremiah’s over the weekend, lovely pub with a lovely atmosphere. We got served by Danni who was very friendly and professional, a credit to your business. Will be returning soon

24/02/2026: Food & service at Eddie's in Portlaoise is amazing. Really not much more expensive than any of the other fast food chains in general, and actually cheaper with app vouchers or daily offers like Kids Eat Free Tuesday. Food is so much fresher and nicer than regular fast food though, and staff are super nice. Definitely worth a visit!
