The best restaurants in Ballymahon

05/10/2025: Food was fantastic. And came very quickly. The staff and atmosphere were both pleasant. Will definitely be back !

18/09/2025: Went in after lunch time, decided to get the steak sandwich and a pint of Guinness. The steak itself was tiny, about half the size of the bread, and the Guinness was quite possibly the worst pint I've had, actually, I think the whole meal was quite possibly the worst I've had out. Won't be stepping foot in again.

25/02/2026: Ordered a takeout for delivery for the first time 22nd Feb 2026. Never used their business before. Sorry I did. Spent 53euro on 3 kids and myself. From time of order to actual delivery took 2 hrs and 10 mins. After the first hour , waited over an hour , phoned in to enquire as to time of delivery. The person who answered the phone said he left 5 /6 mins ago, said he prob had other rounds to make before he got to me. That's fine. Waited another half hour, called again to be told same thing. Waited again, called and asked him to call the driver, so he said ill call him now. So after 2 hrs and 10 mins, driver arrives and promptly said to me" oh ye must be starving"? Yeah after waiting over 2 hours!! Your business is 10 mins drive from here. Some proper smart ass. Food was very disappointing regretfully. Spice bag especially , more soggy chips than anything. Egg fried rice usually means egg comes in it. Overall this was a very disappointing waste of time and money from a business that expressed no empathy or customer satisfaction. Delivery driver however, with his "ye must be starving"? Comment, needs a lesson in common manners when delivering a service

25/01/2026: We ordered from here last week when we were at centerparcs. The food was absolutely delicious we got 7 different dishes and we all absolutely loved the food. The service was fantastic also the gentleman on the phone was so lovely. Definitely recommend we can't wait to go back!!

25/11/2025: Absolutely terrible. Called in there yesterday as I'd been before and it was quite good. Not now. Three staff on duty yesterday. Two of them sat at a table,loudly discussing their alcohol intake on a night out while glued to their phones. One had her feet and shoes on the table. The place was cold and unwelcoming. I won't be going back. It's a very sad fall from grace

14/10/2025: Been here plenty of times, and it is my GO TO. The staff are always lovely, chatty and on the ball whenever I walk in even when it’s busy. The blonde girl is an excellent barista, coffees are always amazing and I never leave unhappy. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone 🤩🤩

16/01/2026: Great food and great family atmosphere, highly recommend.

06/12/2025: We absolutely love Jolly Boys- whether it’s sitting inside in winter or in the outback (outside dining) in the summer the food, drinks and service is 10/10. The atmosphere is laid back (great music and interiors) and the staff are so good with the kids; the place is so family friendly with a great menu for everyone, including delicious gluten free options (including GF pizza and chips) 👌🏻👌🏻 They do great beers including local IPAs and an excellent cocktail menu too! Look forward to the next visit already ❤️

26/03/2026: Had takeaway and it was very good lamb makhni wasn't expecting that taste in such small rate lol Staff is very friendly will go again definitely when I'll pass by

12/01/2026: Ballymahon needs a proper Indian restaurant/takeaway. Badly! This isn’t it. They served me a rotten meat burger and ignored my complaint about it.
