The best restaurants in Portlaoise

27/07/2026: Bought burgers and chicken curried chips. The burgers were horrendous. The curried chicken had a soapy taste. All four agreed about the soapy taste. Only went here because our regular chipper in Kilminchy are on holidays.

24/07/2026: Ordered a chicken curry and chips thinking it was being got from Francesco’s. Unfortunately they were closed so the lads went to this place. Had two mouthfuls and spat it out. Threw the rest in the bin!! Has to be the worst food I’ve tasted in a long time. Won’t be going back!!! 😡

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.
