Subway
Monaghan
05/09/2026: The food is ok but the older blonde lady who works there is unhinged. She was completely racist and rude to a group of teenagers who came in. One was looking to apply for a job and she kept saying “you need good English” over and over in an aggressive tone. When he left she said “if he worked here I’d quit” while sweeping around angrily. She obviously hates people and her job. Makes everyone around her feel uncomfortable, my 12 year old rushed eating just so we could get out of there. Definitely won’t be back to this branch. Felt sorry for the young girl working with her.
26/07/2026: I've been to this Subway quite a few times, and overall the food is always good. The shawarma sub is definitely my favourite—it's really tasty and one I'd recommend.
The staff experience depends on who serves you. There's a blonde lady with short hair who seems to expect customers to know exactly what they want before getting to the counter. If you know your order, she's quick and efficient, and I've never personally had an issue with her.
However, I've seen her come across as impatient with customers who are unsure or take a while to decide, which can make the experience feel a bit uncomfortable.
On the other hand, there's a lady with black hair, who I believe is the manager, and she's always been lovely and welcoming.
There's also a younger member of staff who's genuinely one of the nicest people I've met—she's always friendly, patient, and makes everyone feel welcome. She has such a positive attitude and really adds to the customer experience.
Overall, the food is consistently good, especially the shawarma sub, and most of the staff are fantastic.
My only criticism is that some customers may feel rushed if they're still deciding what they'd like to order.

Carrick Indian takeaway

21/07/2026: Food’s okay, but quantity is a scam. More potato fries than meat in kebab for the price of meat. ( chicken / lamb)

27/06/2026: We ordered food yesterday, and it was a terrible experience. There was a bug in the food, which is completely unacceptable. The meal was disgusting, and we couldn’t eat it. I would never order from here again and definitely do not recommend this place.

18/07/2025: Family of 4 adults . 2 had fish and chips both really disappointed. We have been several times for food and always good. Spoke to the waiter who said he would tell the chef. Really disappointed
20/06/2025: Good afternoon,
Last Saturday we made our first visit to this restaurant since 2017, prior to which we had hosted many of our family’s special occasions and often stayed overnight. Every one of those occasions was impeccable and we have many happy memories of birthdays and anniversaries celebrated there.....and sad memories too of after funeral refreshments for both my wife's parents.
I brought my daughter for what was intended to be a special outing for her as she seldom goes out anywhere due to serious health issues.
We had chicken wings which were excellent but after that everything went downhill rapidly. My daughter chose a pasta dish but she could only eat half as it was at best mediocre. I chose roast beef and stated categorically that I did not want gravy poured over my meal and I asked could the gravy be served in a small bowl on the side. The young girl was very pleasant and helpful; she understood my request and said yes, that’s fine, absolutely no problem. We didn’t see her again after that.
When another person brought the meal to the table it was absolutely swimming in gravy. I said I had requested the meal to be served without gravy, with the gravy to be served on the side. He took it away and changed it. It really appeared that I was served the dregs remaining from lunchtime and although it was towards late afternoon, that is not an excuse for me receiving stale carrots and mashed potatoes that had very obviously been kept warm in a Bain-Marie for a number of hours. The cabbage apparently had all gone so I got none. The beef was not remotely succulent and was as tough as leather but I persevered in struggling through it until a fly (there were many flies in the area where we’d been seated) came and sat on the beef. At that point I gave up and went to get some tissues to wrap the beef up to bring home to our cat. I was totally put off. As a result we decided to skip dessert. One would have expected the restaurant to have take steps in the warm weather to deal with the problem of flies in a dining area.
The only part of the main course that I was able to enjoy was the roast potatoes which I have to say were excellent but overall the experience was a very disappointing one. What made it even more disappointing was the fact that at no stage during the meal did anyone come over, as is usual practice, to ask if everything is ok. And when I was paying, I wasn't asked then either. Had I been asked I would have outlined all these difficulties.
