The Smugglers Rest
Clogherhead
17/05/2026: We went about 2 weeks into it re-opening. Staff are so lovely, friendly and attentive but the food let the whole place down.
Very small serving for the price, not fresh fish and us in Clogherhead š«£ My chips were too overdone, my partners were undercooked so we weren't sure where the double fried chips were meant to be like.
We messaged a lovely message afterwards giving positive but constructive feedback and they just ignored it. Won't be rushing back in a hurry anytime soon, we're local too.
04/05/2026: Has changed since last here.
Portions small and the chowder was just watery

Kingfisher
Dundalk
03/04/2026: My favorite restaurant in dundalk. Deserves 5 stars. Noel and staff really welcome us, every single time. They build wonderful connections with customers. Food always perfect, hot and plentiful. Cant say enough good things about this place
19/03/2026: One of the best places in Dundalk to try Irish dishes at a great price.
The fish and chips and the Irish breakfast are really filling and satisfying. For the quality, the prices are very reasonable, ā¬17 for an Irish breakfast and ā¬20 for haddock fish and chips.
Itās also in a great location, right in the town centre, which makes it even more convenient.

Shake Dog
Drogheda
01/05/2026: Ordered a delivery from here for the first time recently. Everything apart from the chips was good. Just not a fan of their chips. Delivey was quick.
24/02/2026: The price is good for what you get. However, I saw the owner preparing burgers and was concerned about hygiene. He was touching various things with bare hands, washing dishes, and then going back to handle raw meat without gloves. It didnāt seem very hygienic. I wouldnāt recommend this place.

River Cafe
Dundalk
16/03/2026: Popped in for something to eat on Mothers day. Food was good and the servers even better. It's a bit of a hidden gem.
01/03/2026: Foods lovely top notch. Only downside is that the floor staff walk around every 2 minutes getting a vibe that we're being rushed and can't enjoy the food

Haiphong Chinese
Drogheda
19/05/2026: Chips are always undercooked. Also, this is unrelated to the food but this restaurant is not even owned by Chinese people. It's owned by vietnamese people, that's why the Chinese food taste so fake
05/03/2026: A really good local spot for Asian takeaway. The food is consistently fresh, flavourful, and well-prepared, with generous portions for the price. Service is quick and the staff are polite and efficient, which makes it a reliable option for a quick meal. While itās mainly a takeaway rather than a sit-down restaurant, the quality of the food definitely stands out. A great choice if youāre looking for tasty Asian food in the area.

McDonald's
Dundalk
06/05/2026: I had a really disappointing experience at McDonaldās that I feel needs to be addressed.
I was served by a staff member named Naoise, who was absolutely lovelyāpatient, polite, and genuinely kind. She handled my request professionally when I asked for extra caramel and went to check with a supervisor or team lead named Grace.
Unfortunately, thatās where the experience completely went downhill. Grace reacted in an extremely unprofessional and aggressive way. She raised her voice, slammed the caramel down on the counter with unnecessary force, and then proceeded to speak about me while I was still standing right there at the window. It was uncomfortable, disrespectful, and honestly quite shocking to witness.
There was absolutely no reason for that kind of attitude over such a simple request. Customers should never be made to feel like a problem or spoken about in that manner. I left feeling disrespected and singled out, which is not acceptable in any customer service environment.
Grace clearly needs further training in professionalism, communication, and basic respect when dealing with customers. On the other hand, Naoise deserves recognition for maintaining a calm and friendly attitude despite the situation.
I will be escalating this to head office, as this kind of behaviour should not be overlooked.
05/05/2026: Most the times I go, there's something missing or wrong with my order

Rum House
Dundalk
03/04/2026: Great spot for an evening meal- I love their Thai green curry! They even have courgettes in it which is my favourite vegetable. The atmosphere is always fantastic.
Their most recent renovations have brought it to another level!
I also recently discovered their lunch menu which is Devine- they have this open chicken sandwich with melted cheese, I canāt remember the name of the sandwich but it is so delicious!
I would recommend this place for couples, families or groups of friends. 10/10
22/03/2026: Everything has every allergen in it?!? Somehow steak and club sandwiches have peanuts in them? We then asked and were told that it's because all the food come from the same factory and they can't be sure of anything. How can you be charging those prices for food packaged in a factory? Outrageous. My entire party declined on dessert then because of how ridiculous this is. Would not recommend

Taaffes Castle
Carlingford
05/05/2026: Decided to nip into this pub on bank holiday Monday for a pint of Guinness. Whilst the pub itself was welcoming, we cannot say the same for the staff. We ordered our pints and were met with āitās cash only, thereās a cash machine in the backā, went back to discover that there was a ā¬3.50 charge for the privilege. We decided to leave to try find a free cash machine only to be chased down the street. Another member of staff shouting down a busy street telling us that āmaybe next time tell the bar woman that we donāt want the pints that sheād just pulledā and that we āwerenāt niceā for leaving. Now correct me if Iām wrong, but is it not common practice to not pull a pint until payment had been received?! I truly have never encountered such animosity over something so trivial, and frankly we were not at fault in the slightest. If youād pay your taxes and have a card machine, you wouldnāt have to chase customers down the street, and have multiple negative reviews.
03/05/2026: Warm bottles of beer. Cash only. Pool table in pieces. Basic drinks only, no cocktails. Avoid.

Kebab Palace
Drogheda
24/02/2026: Take Doner Kebab and full your tummy with joy (wish you luck to eat it all at once) Amazing spot
07/12/2025: I drove from Balbriggan to get the food from that place and Iām really very disappointed. I asked 4 Tikka kebab with 3 extra naan bread and I asked everything separate. So instead of Tilka kebab she charged me for Tikka tray and she charged me separate for 7 naan when she should changed only for 3 extra naan. I ordered 1 chips. So instead of ā¬55 she changed ā¬65. Pictures are attached the mount of chicken they put in the try. Looking at the chips for ā¬3.70 itās just unreal and ripoff.
This place is scamming people in day light.

Chans
Dunleer
07/11/2025: I have been coming here since 2004. Yes its changed ownership etc but I have to say that you're recognised, if you've a problem, they respond and try rectify it. Yeah, we all have good food , bad food but they respect you, listen to you, try to rectify the problem. That's,the counterstaff, as they're the only people you see. I had an issue and male counterstaff membe, in the past solved issue for me, sorted it out, to my benefit and probably everyone else. Another issue tonight and working together we worked it out. This guy, is amazing. We butted heads but we both worked it out. That guy is worth every penny he gets. Minimum wage. Front line staff make you the money. Reward them, let them share in the profits too. Minimum wage should be the basic, but if they drum up business, let them share in the profits too. Everyone like being at home with family but unfortunately for that to happen, shift workers need to keep company-Country going. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the staff at all shops, takeaways, for the jobs they do.
03/11/2025: Food is lovely and staff defo recommend it šš»
