The best restaurants in Ballina

27/01/2026: A lovely place to visit and very helpful staff in the restaurant

25/01/2026: If you know you know , what a hidden gem. The food is outstanding every time we go. Better than the cobble or the quays hands down. I’ve left Killala for Yorkshire but we still fly over for a night in Ballina and the square is our first stop before a rake of ale. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

09/02/2026: Fantastic staff very helpful, great omelette for breakfast off the menu, hotel is being upgraded, rooms were spotless and the leisure centre has just been refurbished, good daily dinner options with a drink, just had a lovely 3 night break there, would definitely go back

04/01/2026: Went to the new play centre ripples and the kids had so much fun. It's a little on the small side but works well for what we used it for. Prices are what you would typically pay for a play centre. Staff were lovely and the place was very clean.

10/01/2026: Oct 2025 We stayed at this hotel while holding a memorial for my beloved sister, and I truly cannot put into words how much comfort and kindness we received during such a painful time. The hotel’s central location was perfect, and the rooms were always warm, cozy, and immaculately clean—exactly what we needed. Breakfast each morning was excellent, with many delicious options offered daily, and the dining staff were incredibly attentive and accommodating to my food allergies, which meant so much to me. We have stayed here many times over the years and always loved it, but this visit was exceptional. The compassion shown to us will never be forgotten. The hotel manager, Edel, was professional, kind, and genuinely compassionate, going above and beyond to support us on short notice. Her leadership truly shows in her amazing staff—Chloe was wonderful,, kind and professional maureen the server had outstanding service accommodating all of us especially with food allergies This hotel will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We are deeply grateful to everyone who made a very difficult time a little easier.

18/12/2025: Went there for lunch. Lovely meal, good portions and good service Steak sandwich is a good recommendation

24/12/2025: Ordered and waited an hour to be told they forgot what my order was, lost my order, and need to hear what it is again. Would not recommend

07/11/2025: The best place to get the good meal. The quality of food is really nice. The biggest portions in all Ballina.

02/02/2026: Yummy food, great view and staff are friendly

07/11/2025: Went in to order a takeaway, was never in here before.. I was greeted with “what did you order” not a hi hello or anything. Then when the girl with me ordered, he looked at me “will you order together quick” . I had to tell him cancel the order as it was rude! And I’ll never step foot in there again after being spoken to like. Came across so rude as if he didn’t want custom. If it was close to closing time, then change closing time if he doesn’t want to wait there till 11.

24/01/2026: Could only put one star would but less if can put peas in me 4in1 didn’t last long before it hit the bin #dirt

04/12/2025: Update 4 years ago i left review "best Chinese in town" well that change drastically. Food is terrible now i dont know what happen dry hot and spicy is not even close what it use to be. I was their comming back customer every weekend, but im not anymore

12/02/2026: Servers forgot we were there, I had to go añd ask them to take our order, the food was nearly cold also served on cold plates, the server plonked two dirty, sticky plastic bottles on the table, we were supposed to have maple syrup but were served maple syrup flavoured golden syrup, the bottles hadn't been wiped so goodness knows who had manhandled them before...YUK! The place was actually cold and it was January. All in all it was a BIG NO from us. Coffee was okay

27/01/2026: A lovely place to visit and very helpful staff in the restaurant

31/10/2025: Staff are always courteous and deliver food with no haste.The place is always clean,toilets could be better as they look a bit rundown as well as upstairs area. Only issue is that it can be a bit rough at nighttime especially pearse street in general ,alot of loud youths hanging about and seems to be an issue at the moment.

25/09/2025: Asked for extra salt and ketchup and got nothing

13/10/2025: Waiter was extremely rude as I was trying to pursue my career as a facebook influencer. My cookie was served to me as in the picture. When I asked she said it was labelled as a "Crumbl Cookie". Disgrace!!!! (especially when it was €6). Very unsatisfied, will not be returning

12/09/2025: Its a popular place , be prepared to wait a while. Very limited food selection

28/01/2026: Decent food. Staff do not pay attention to orders placed online. Expect a hefty wait if you order online and turn up expecting it ready.

31/12/2025: Good pizza, nice flavour ,fast delivery

25/12/2025: Takeaway dinners are gone downhill

23/11/2025: It took more than 30+ minutes to prepare the fries. Definitely not recommend the place.
