The best restaurants in Portlaoise

12/08/2025: Service was a bit slow at start to take our order. But food was lovely do that made up for the wait

03/08/2025: Always a delay and made feel in the way. Pity because the food is good

02/07/2025: Usually have a great time in Square bar and always a top spot to go to but last night(28th June) the bouncer was being in the nicest way possible a complete fool. He said I had tracksuit bottoms on when they were clearly jeans and couldn't let me get a single word in and told me to "buzz off" and go another direction, was calling my friends inside then to tell them I wasn’t let in and then while I was on call he was proceeding to let lads in with cargos on and it just seemed like he had a personal vendetta against me for no reason. After I ended my call he then said “ok from a distance it looked like you had tracksuit bottoms on but there’s no need to be cheeky” dunno how that’s possible when he didn’t even let me speak but alright.

27/04/2025: Sionna was the best she was loving and great craic give her more money xx

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.

02/08/2025: Worst service ever seen in ireland

17/07/2025: Clearly understaffed with the poor staff obviously overwhelmed and overworked. One fella had a plaster over an earring like he was in school, indicative of poor and micromanagement. Who cares if an adult has a piercing.

05/08/2025: Plenty of space to sit down and enjoy a quick snack .no complaints at all !!

04/08/2025: Very bad service from here. I was waiting a long time for food that never came. Went up and asked about it at the counter. They just told me sorry we forgot to put the food on. I asked for my money back. I will never go here again. Its not nice seeing people who was behind in the line getting food before you. Bad management.

15/06/2025: Yesterday i entered fuel coffee for a acai bowl they made me unAWARE that there was peanuts in there acai bowl, not knowing this i started digging into my bowl shortly after this i took an alllergic reaction as im severely allgeric to peanuts not a good experience

18/03/2025: At first when i came in i smelt coffee which was good but for the acai bowl delicious.

24/07/2025: It's far from OK. My advice is to go personally and get your food, because I'd you order a delivery there sure to forget something or it'll be cold and soggy, portions have gotten smaller and smaller but prices continue to rise, but I suppose that's down to the war in Ukraine aswell🙄, UPDATE! food portions of late are shocking small, the fresh fillet is far from fresh and very far from being a fillet, burgers, sausages and chicken look like they've been bought in aldi, prices have gone up yet again, save your money and stay away,!

30/05/2025: Superior! . First time customer that will definitely will be returning for more , the food is very satisfying. Has to be the best chipper in portloaise .

18/07/2025: The staff were rude and judgmental when my sisters both preferred something I had to buy something as well just to sit down

15/07/2025: I use this cafe a lot as it’s my grandson’s favourite in Portlaoise. But I have to ask, why can’t the toilets be kept clean? They are always in a really bad state, toilet paper all over the floor and puddles, of hopefully is tap water. It’s a shame as otherwise it’s a nice place.

02/06/2025: We booked an area in the pub for a hen night and had a great experience overall. Thanks to Rhian who looked after us so well, bottle of bubbles on arrival and everything! The toilets were in quite a state, in need a bit of attention. Other than that we had a great night!

09/05/2025: I was in Sallys last night. Its still a nice pub don’t get me wrong. Bar staff are great. Especially the manager.but the crowd they let in are messy and ruin it for the rest of us. Also v disappointed to see karaoke dj back again. Crude comments and way to over friendly with the girls. Like I said nice pub tho

24/07/2025: Went recently and I was delighted with the food. It was very quiet as it was a Monday evening and we were eating in the restaurant. Food came out quickly and hot, great portion sizes and it was all super tasty. The beef was soft and the chicken was delicious. The staff were all lovely and the cost was so reasonable. I'm from Dublin and wouldn't get a meal like that for 3 people for less then €100 and it was just under 80. People giving bad reviews of the delivery of 'spice bags' should sit in and have a proper meal. Will defo be back

30/06/2025: I don’t like this place at all. There’s too much wood on the walls and it makes the place seem unfriendly

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.

09/07/2025: Fantastic spot that catered for all our 5 children, aged 4 to 15. The whole family had great fun as we played bowling, after this the boys enjoyed a game of football while the girls skated for an hour, the smallest had great fun on slides. We finished our day off by having a bite to eat. Staff were so friendly and helpful! Price was so reasonable too!! We spent hours here and will definitely make the trip back down. Highly reccommend Roll and Bowl and it would be a great spot for a party to cater for everyones needs of all ages !

07/07/2025: Had an excellent experience organising a birthday party here. Booking was simple and efficient, on the day itself, the staff were friendly and organised, facilities were all clean and well presented, food was served bang on time and the kids cleared all! Was impressed at everything about it, including the price, have no hesitation recommending it and would use it again both for days out and/or parties.

05/08/2025: Having a plant based / vegan section on the menu was a huge bonus. Food was great and staff were friendly...

25/07/2025: The best food I've ever eaten, I recommend the sweet and sour it's just how I like it. It has a warm atmosphere with incredible songs and kind staff.

14/06/2025: Lovely chippers asked for mayo dropped the bottle to the table free of charge

01/05/2025: Great chipper food and service always with a smile :)

04/05/2025: Spice bag was amazing , delivery lady was nice. Highly reccommend this place

01/05/2025: This is the only Chineese TakeAway I know that does not include boiled rice in the price of most of its main dishes and I find it very anoying ... I seldome go here now because of it.
