The best restaurants in Dundalk

15/06/2025: ❌Chicken didn't cooked well and fries . Chicken Smells bad. Very expensive. Small portions ❌

08/06/2025: got the Louisiana box meal and it was amazing. Can’t recommend enough. The sauce combination is incredible and there was no wait. Staff were friendly and helpful and area was clean and tidy. Definitely recommend.

26/07/2025: The Phoenix Park cafe is in a great location. The owners have the luxury of getting a captive audience due to the volume of people visiting the park and the lack of places to eat. I feel that the food has gone downhill. I’ve been consistently disappointed with the last few visits. My last visit was at the end of June. We all ordered lasagne and the food was dry and tasteless. There was a lack of choice of salads on the day that we visited. This restaurant used to be great. It’s a shame.

06/06/2025: ¡Qué caída en desgracia! Hace unos años, este era un lugar increíble para comer con gran variedad y de primera calidad - no es así ahora. Hay poca variedad y mi pan tostado caro era horrible. El pan tostado carecía de queso y era duro como una roca - también puede haber sido cartón. El café no estaba mucho mejor. Los servidores eran agradables, pero no volveré. Esto no habría valido la pena a la mitad del precio.

18/07/2025: We were served by a lovely young man and woman and couldn’t have been happier, we then continued to order more drinks and then were challenged by what we assume is the manager, she had red hair in a bun and was a slim build. She spoke to the bouncer who arrived after us and gave harsh looks over to our party of 8 people which we booked in advance. The bouncer then called me over and asked to look at my id which I obliged and he then gave me a dirty looked and asked me questions from my age to my name. Which are normal questions but not on the tone on which he asked. We then noticed the the (manager) whispering and talking about us to the other staff which we found unnecessary. We honestly loved it until the manager ruined it for us and when we asked to split the bill she gave a cheeky response and said no we can’t with a dirty looked. I paid in full for the whole party and left a generous tip to where the manager didn’t even thank us but the lovely young server who took our order did.

14/07/2025: Best experience of my life. Want to give a special shout out to the DJ, nothing short of a legend. Played to the crowd all night and didn’t disappoint with a single tune. Couldn’t recommend more for a night out.

07/07/2025: The best uni experience I’ve ever had

02/04/2025: Parking is an absolute joke. People don’t drive to college just to walk or take a bus to campus. They take away 4 parking spaces for EV charging points for lecturers because what average student can afford an EV? When people park in unobstuctive manners they get clamped and on top of that the college involves guards? Are you serious? A joke.

05/07/2025: Kids loved there treat and books

03/07/2025: This is consistently the slowest mcdonald's I have ever seen. The last time I was there I waited 20 minutes for a basic meal, today I waited the same for a 6 pack nuggets and a drink, and this has been my experience over half the time here. The one time they even forgot my order. Today after having enough of watching young immature girls prentending to work waving to their friends into the lobby and walking as slow as a snail back and forth over and over from the kitchen empty handed doing absolutely nothing I had enough and had to call someone from the kitchen for a refund because I was on the clock and couldnt wait any longer. It wasn't even busy and another couple ahead of me waited longer than me for just 2 coffees. 20 minutes for coffees! The manager came and refunded me but claimed she was absent during lunch hour and didn't know what was happening and will review the cameras. She still gave me the 6 nuggets which were cold anyway and my appetite was spoiled by that point. It is clear this mcdonald's has absolutely no leadership and whoever owns it doesnt care one bit.

28/07/2024: Great food, lovely atmosphere. Don't miss the Cookiedough skillet on the dessert menu - wow!

20/07/2024: Myself and partner went for dinner Thursday night. Starters were lovely. Mains - I got the beef burger and my partner got the chicken burger. His chicken burger was noticeably “wet” juices dripping out of the burger, his plate was soaked. He felt something was off, took the bun off the burger and we both noticed how pink the chicken burger was. The server came over and noticed it for herself that the chicken was pink. She quickly took it away to show her manager. The manager came over and apologised asked if he would like something else, we said no. We quickly left as my partner did not feel right. He vomited that night and had awful cramps the following day. The manager did not charge us for the chicken burger but charged for the rest of the meal. I left half of my burger on the plate as I was turned off my food by it all. Really disappointed as I’ve heard good things about the place.

04/07/2025: Honestly bad food this place has fell off. Chips are disgusting. Who ever is in charge of putting sauces on the food must be paying for the sauces themselves because they’re so miserable. Food not cheap either will never ever order again

12/06/2025: Terrible ordered at 5.30 still waiting at 7 rang was informed delivery starts at 6 like come on who starts delivering at 6 in the evening in this day and age

22/06/2025: Great spot. Maggie and her team are friendly, understanding of dietary requirements and remember you for the next time. Beautiful restaurant and extremely tasty fresh food.

27/05/2025: Brilliant meal & service tonight..so clean,staff very attentive, not rushed, so relaxing..

23/06/2025: One of the worst dining experiences ever. Food was cold, tasteless, clearly not fresh, and portions were shockingly small. Service was rude and we were ignored most of the time. The place had a strange smell and felt completely rundown. Biggest scam? Menu prices are misleading—dine-in costs way more than takeaway, and it’s not mentioned clearly. Felt like a total rip-off. You can see the size of bowl for the quantity and just look at the curry, there's just some vegetable prices all dried out. Avoid this place. Overpriced, poor quality, and disrespectful. DO NOT BELIEVE THE POSITIVE REVIEWS – THEY’RE FAKE AND PAID.

02/06/2025: The worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. The food was disgusting cold, bland, and clearly not fresh. The service was beyond terrible. We were ignored for most of the time, and when we finally got the waiter’s attention, he was rude and dismissive like we were bothering him just by being there. The atmosphere was awful weird smell, and the place felt neglected. But the biggest scam? The pricing. DO NOT trust the prices on their menu outside or online. They charge different prices for takeaway and dine-in, and it’s much more expensive when you sit inside. It felt like we were being tricked into paying double. Avoid this place at all costs. Overpriced, underwhelming, and completely disrespectful. Never again.
