The best restaurants in Portlaoise

01/04/2025: Fantastic variety of activities for all ages

30/03/2025: They need to get better jugs because 2 people spilt their drinks from the lid, which became unsealed once people started poring drenching nearly 7 bystanders. Also, staff tried moping to help but just spread it around the floor leaving it so wet and slippy then the exact same thing happened again to the lady beside us.

25/02/2025: Warm, cozy atmosphere, clean facilities, professional hospitality for digital nomads and families alike. I recommend everyone, shopping is just at hand, leisure facilities as well, ample parking space. Lara was even so kind to help me out with her own pencil.

04/01/2025: Went in Saturday evening after looking in shops staff were very welcoming food and coffee was lovely

14/02/2025: Fantastic place for a meal and great value for your euro

02/02/2025: Food mediocre, servers lovely though service quite slow as it wasn't busy whatsoever, quite pricy for what you get

12/12/2024: Not a bad spot great music good craic

10/11/2024: Great night Great music but I can't understand why two male bouncers thought it was okay to come into the women's bathroom at the end of the night, bit of a scary experience and if I didn't have my wits about me god knows how much more scary it would have been. Just want to know why there was no female available and why not 1 but 2 men thought it was okay to walk in. Explain Coopers?

30/01/2025: Went for a meal when my order came out the chicken dish I ordered was very tough and chewy I sent it back and it was brought back to me saying there was nothing wrong with it . I didn’t eat it. When I went to pay they didn’t want to know about it . I had been going to this restaurant for over 20 years. It has changed ownership , never be back again. John k

04/01/2025: Hi, I called the shop and the phone went to message. how long will you be closed？ Thank you！

23/02/2025: Just visited the Odeon, Portlaoise to view the latest Briget Jones movie with my daughter and had a lovely experience. We were looked after so well by Ben when it came to buying our tasty treats, such a lovely mannerly young man with a lovely personality for customer care. Everything was spotless and comfortable. Thankyou.

20/01/2025: Some films must be seen on the big screen.

03/03/2025: Absolutely horrible frozen food straight out of aldi dipped in boiling petrol somehow took 30 minutes and then the foreign man behind the counter wouldn’t let me sit inside unless I payed an extra €4 when there wasn’t a sole inside while it was dark and cold out simply because “I didn’t order pizza” chips were like wet bag of oul lads dead foot skin drenched in vinegar, Philly cheese “steak” was like boot leather in a bun drenched in sauce so u don’t notice. there was a sign reading “spend over 35 get a free large bottle” however this didn’t apply to me because I spent 39.50????.food disintegrated packaging, rude service and I feel quite unwell to be honest. Over all bad experience save urself the pain of eating here (outside the shop).

24/12/2024: Proper portions, delicious taste and good value. Love sitting in whenever possible.

07/11/2024: Foods insane staff are legends atmosphere absolutely lethal. 10/10 would recommend!

07/11/2024: I cannot describe how good this place is if heaven was a place on earth it would be here

22/02/2025: Big thanks to Daniel for the cocktail class valentines weekend, he was brilliant, informative and friendly! We also had food in the bar afterwards and it was lovely, highly recommend!

18/01/2025: Large group in for food service was quick beef and burger looked nice and herself had the curry said it was nice i had the "beer battered cod" it was rotten whoever is over the batter needs to be trained on what a beer battered cod should taste like the batter was like something youd get from a Chinese on a chicken ball a frozen piece would have been nicer was raging i didnt go for beef but i like a good fish and chips sadly i wouldnt recommend it here the dog wouldnt eat it everything else was good

02/03/2025: This is my second time in two weeks having an issue with delivery from here. First time half our order was left out, they did drop up the food but we had to eat separately. Second time today, order placed at 17:18 and delivered at 18:41. Food was cold..driver just dropped and left. Usually the food is very good here but in the last while it has gone really downhill. Was asked if they would send you more but not worth waiting 40 mins again for.

25/02/2025: Me and my family been ordering here for 8 years always good quality food need to get down here

07/02/2025: Ordered a mega box and house special noodles with black bean sauce and fried rice The mega box was horrible everything was soggy and stuck together and cold and the wrong sauce was on the noodle box, some kind of peppery spicy sauce. Won’t be ordering again

02/02/2025: The lady here is very nice and friendly

23/02/2025: Professional team and excellent taste of the dishes!!!

07/02/2025: I buy Munchy box for €28 and found long blonde hair in the chicken bool. Returned it back to the shop but women at the desk argued that this hair is not from their staff instead apologising she started yelling at me , she was so rude.Finally I got refunds, never ever buy in Apache.

20/02/2025: Ordered food to go unfortunately a lot of the food was missing had to return and look for food to be replaced absolutely appalling service no apology very incompetent

15/02/2025: Missing 2 dips 2 drinks were missing lots out of it ,no salt , no straws , food came on the verge of being cold
