The best restaurants in Portlaoise

18/08/2025: Thanks to John and the team at the killeshin Hotel with everything you did kind regards Kris and Joanne

13/08/2025: I get food poisoning after eating in their cedar restaurant.

22/09/2025: Great food great staff and atmosphere walk in service would recommend.

20/09/2025: Really nice place. I loved the music. So many options on the menu.

22/11/2025: Order food at 12:11 and came at 13:30 just 2 medium pizza came cold and I really want a refund or compassion as this is the second time

12/11/2025: Supermac’s never disappoints, the food is always fresh, tasty. The chicken tenders and chips were perfect.

20/09/2025: Just went in for a quick milkshake only and I wanted a large and they gave me a normal cup size and charged large size, wanted chocolate and they didn't have it in stock only had in strawberry and vanilla and they were a little bit rude aswell very quick sharpe answer.

16/09/2025: Went to supermacs with my wife and kids, order food for all family kids were very happy,but finally we had to leave without food,cos after almost one hour waiting for our order we decided to cancel our order and just left. Went with kids to the McDonald's. At supermacs was busy, but not as much as usual. And when I came to the till to ask where's our food the answer was ohh sorry we forgot to make yours one,but 4 people standing there doing nothing just talking and laughing instead of focus for service and make customers satisfied. It was very unprofessional and very sad not because of myself, but because of my kid's. So my decision?never again to the supermacs at all. Regards.

06/10/2025: €11 for a slice of dry carrot cake and a coconut latte that tasted nothing like coconut at all. A cup of warm water is what it tastes like. definitely gone down hill with coffees

05/10/2025: Used to be good spot but it is getting worse every week. On Sunday having coffee in single use cup for dining in is very bad. Also Autumn time and no flagship drink, I'd say it won't last long. One of the most expensive spot btw. Very disappointing.

07/11/2025: Food was lovely, and they were so friendly and service-minded

28/09/2025: 10/10. It’s what you want when you think of getting an Indian

31/08/2025: Serious quality, addictive food. Delivery time has always been satisfactory

06/08/2025: Really good food and generous portions!

24/10/2025: Lovely restaurant, lovely food, great service & atmosphere

05/07/2025: Good grub, good service, friendly feel, could have done with a couple of more chips ,but then I'm hungry b#st£rd.

09/04/2025: ##NO STARS We ordered from Ruchi Portlaoise last night, and it was a disappointing experience. The delivery driver didn’t even call and gave our food to someone else in the opposite apartment. After 45 minutes of waiting, we called, and he kept repeating that he’d delivered it to ‘some lady,’ offering no apology. He first said he’d deliver replacement food tomorrow, but when we asked what we were supposed to eat at 10 PM (we ordered at 9pm) he agreed to reorder and deliver. The replacement arrived in 15 minutes, but the quality was awful. The spicy chicken wings were half-cooked, tasteless, and just dusted with chili powder. The makhani chicken had watery gravy with hard chicken pieces, and the naan was undercooked. The egg fried rice was the only decent item. I’d like to speak to the owner about this. Overall, terrible service and food—avoid unless they improve.

25/03/2025: Food is one of the best . Everything is delicious and would highly recommend.

03/09/2025: Great atmosphere and amazing staff

13/08/2025: Sally's is a great place at the weekend thanks to the staff great beer and great music

12/10/2025: I like the place,went for swimming but the water was cold

04/10/2025: I have been using Leisure centre for about 3 years, it is notoriously the worst gym in Portlaoise on account of the small space lacking some serious equipment and horrible changing room facilities. I still enjoyed it as the price correlated to the quality/size and was usually quite and had a lovely crowd. When renewing my membership after the remodel the price had sky rocketed only being a few euros cheaper then Midlands which has much better classes, changing rooms, spa discounts, etc. There is an obvious issue with maintaining staff especially in the last few months. Most of the staff inside the gym are lovely but the front desk staff always seem to have a horrible attitude and seem frustrated with the most basic questions. What has driven me to the point of a negative review is there has been a huge influx of children/very young teenagers using the gym. Younger people being there would not be an issue if they werent so disruptive, they are wrestling each other, half of them wearing school uniforms (jeans) leaving phones and other belongings over all the equipment that they’re not using so it cannot be used by other members. If say your using a bench in the dumbbell section theres 5 kids crowding around one on another and they are accidentally sitting on top of you and bumping into you with weights in hand making it impossible to work out. Not to mention the fact they’re constantly hitting, pushing, and pulling at each other around other people who are paying a high price to just clear their head after a long work day. The gym is much too expensive for what it is and to pay that much to not be able to workout because they have no regard for anyone else and staff instead of asking them to mellow down a little are fistbumping them, taking selfies with them and actively encouraging the behaviour. My partner asked the other day who was in charge and the woman who identified herself as so, I asked her this Thursday what time does the gym close at on Saturdays and she said half 5 yet this Saturday was kicked out at 5 because “they’re closed.” They keep repainting the place but no effort to maintain the changing rooms or maintain any sort of gym environment. If I had paid for the month I would simply change gyms but I paid for the year in May and have noticed such a drastic steady decline since then. Extremely disappointing.

09/10/2025: Great place in midland for foreign language movies. Not at all crowded. Decent movie experience

15/09/2025: I just visited Odeon Portlaoise today and when we arrived the lift happened to be out of order. The staff went absolutely above and beyond to help us get to where we needed to go and they were most apologetic. We really appreciated it. I haven't experienced service this good in years it was wonderful to experience.

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

30/09/2025: The time to be served was fast and the waiters are very welcoming you feel so calm and the inside is beautiful i got the chiken chow mein wich was lovely definitely recommend this place

09/08/2025: Good night in coppers Portlaoise. Late night music and party atmosphere. Worth a go

04/08/2025: Best club in portlaoise.highly recommended.
