Lotus Chinese Take-Away
Athlone
24/01/2026: I do not recommend this place, the service is terrible, the food is not complete
27/10/2025: This is the third time I've got a takeaway from this place. Three times it's been bland and tasteless. I feel like I have been robbed. I could have cooked better myself. Never go there again.

The Piano Bar
Athlone
23/11/2025: Had a terrible experience with the short security guard here — incredibly rude, unprofessional, and went out of his way to make the visit unpleasant. Completely unacceptable behavior and definitely needs better training in basic respect.
04/11/2025: Nice staff. Was more busy after midnight.

Caffè Nero
Athlone
08/01/2026: Today I ordered a caramel mocha from the manager. It was extremely burnt. Usually its meant to taste like a caramel hot chocolate. But all I tasted was bitter and burnt milk. Im not sure if they have set the coffee grinds wrong or if they just don't know what they're doing.
22/12/2025: Wasn't aware that this was a dog friendly cafe prior to visiting. Owner told us to bring the dog in. It was so nice that they asked us after seeing us outside. Staff and owner couldn't have been nicer, warm and so welcoming. Well laid out that our dog didn't bother anyone. Food and coffee was delicious. Will definitely visit again.

Subway
Athlone
04/10/2025: went in to get a nice sandwich, as we entered we were greeted okay but as we went on to order sandwiches the man serving us seemed like he was just trying to get rid of us as quick as he could , the subway was great now BUT there was a little piece of plastic in my roll also when asked for a little extra sauce on roll the man seemed to get agitated over that.
wouldn’t recommend best of getting maccies 👍🏻
17/08/2025: The staff closes before 8pm. Can't get served.

Alfredos Takeaway
Athlone
19/04/2026: Just had a philly steak sandbo and it was a fantastic
29/03/2026: Not very good. As a night-time starter, I ordered a vegetarian kebab, but it was overloaded with cream and mostly filled with onions instead of other vegetables. I didn’t order an onion kebab—I ordered a veg kebab. Not satisfied.

Bethlehem Dublin ROAD
Athlone
07/04/2026: I make an order took a while to delivery, when was done no drinks, they said would only bring back whenever had another delivery, me and kids had to wait 1 hour and half to get our drink, very disappointed 👎
24/03/2026: I had a very bad experience here. I politely asked if my order was ready because I only had a few minutes to catch my bus. If I missed it, I would have to pay extra to get home to Dublin.
Despite asking normally and respectfully, the response I got—especially from a staff member in the kitchen—was very rude and unprofessional. There was no need for that kind of attitude toward a customer.
Good service matters, and unfortunately this place did not provide it. I would not recommend it based on how I was treated.

King Kebab
Athlone
02/04/2026: Very poor quality food. The garlic sauce was watery, and the kebab tasted like it had been reheated in a microwave. Very disappointing experience.
15/11/2025: Have been coming to this place for years. I don’t know what happened wheither it’s new management or what but the food has gone completely downhill. We keep re trying it because it was a place we used to love but it has failed to impress us. We ordered a large doner kebab tray and we got a tray with a few chips and meat no salad or anything with it and it was drowned in sweet chili and garlic sauce. The kebab had barely anything in it either I was still hungry after it. Safe to say we won’t be coming back anymore

Chicken Cloud Athlone
Athlone
26/11/2025: Chicken Cloud on Dublin Road, always hits the spot. Their pizza is delicious, with a perfect crust and plenty of toppings. The chips are always hot and crispy, and the kebab is full of flavour with generous portions. The zinger burger is another favourite—crispy, spicy, and incredibly satisfying. Every visit, the food is consistent, tasty, and served with great customer service.
I highly recommend trying it—you’ll definitely enjoy it!
26/11/2025: Chicken Cloud on Dublin Road, Athlone is one of my absolute favourite places to eat. Their chicken wings are always perfectly cooked and full of flavour, the chips are crispy and fresh, and the burgers are juicy and satisfying. The spice box is another highlight—packed with delicious seasoning and generous portions. I go there regularly because the food is consistently excellent, and the staff are friendly and quick with service. Whether you’re craving wings, a burger, or a tasty spice box, this place never disappoints.
I highly recommend everyone to visit Chicken Cloud and try it—you won’t regret it!

Gloria Jean's Coffees Athlone
Athlone
02/01/2026: €4.20 for a cup of misery. Please change your entire business for the better.
26/11/2025: The girl who served me was exceptionally rude. Refused to smile. I was made to wait 15 minutes for my coffee only for the wrong coffee to be handed out and when I explained that this wasn’t my order the girl with blue hair who had taken my order just scowled at me.

O' Hehirs Bakery & Cafe
Athlone
30/10/2025: Visited from abroad a couple of times and food and service are good for a super busy cafeteria. It is clear the staff is trying their best in keeping tables clean as soon as they empty and food was prepared quickly and brought to the table. Never tried the baking but it is a good spot to sit and grab a quick bite.
06/10/2025: We went here for our breakfast. I ordered a mini breakfast and my husband ordered scrambled eggs. The lady charged for it and was 13.90. The other lady notified of the scrambled egg and accused me of not saying it when i clear as day said the order. Even my husband said i said it. I found this quiet rude and embarrassing as their was a queue behind us . When i got my food, it was okey, however my husband found shell in his . He thought maybe it was just a once off and continued to eat some more until he chewed on more which really turned his stomach. He couldn't eat it. I brought it back up and notified the two ladies behind the counter of which one was the lady who made it. She just gave me a look, didnt apologise or acknowledged that this shouldn't of happened. I walked away back to my table. Very unprofessional to let a customer walk away like that . When I looked back up she was on her phone and the other lady was doing the dishes. No offer to substitute it for something else or refund . Very poor unprofessional service. Wont be thinking of going here again.

Walsh's Bar
Athlone
22/07/2025: Lovely spot in the middle of the town for a coffee pick me up and a slice of cake or bun. It’s v busy but had quite a lot of seating. My son loves the Cornish pasties which make for a lovely breakfast or lunch on the campsite. Coffee is good
22/07/2025: Expérience agréable pour un déjeuner à 6. De bon sandwiches, bien que le pain mériterait de gagner en qualité, et de très bonnes pâtisseries. Beaucoup de choix, le tout pour un prix correct.
