The best restaurants in Athlone

11/09/2025: Night out with my work colleagues, very quick service even when it was busy, nice atmosphere, dj, we had good night.

10/08/2025: Short security fella is a disgrace. We were outside taking care of some girls cause we dont want to leave them alone. Won’t let us in after for literally no reason at all. Both over 21. We were sadly not the only ones treated poorly by this man. Wouldnt let multiple people in for no apparent reason at all. Sadly won’t tell us his name. Awful rude too..

29/08/2025: Food is very fulfilling but disappointed with the loaded fries as they don't put enough onto them. The order machines can be a pain at times to use

12/08/2025: Burger King like any other around the world! Food is amazing if you like the smokey flavour!

30/09/2025: Staff laughing and swearing loudly in front of customer really unprofessional mad me feel very uncomfortable as I was walking away with my food they started laughing won’t be back

25/08/2025: Stopped here a few times lately. Service is fast and friendly. Food is lovely. Riano is the best!

03/07/2025: Great quality food and service. Best spicebox in the country 👌🏻but would be great if they brought back dining in, after all, lockdown is over. Please do this, Sohos 🙏🏻 🥲❤️

03/07/2025: Great quality food and good service. Best spicebox in the ireland imo 👌🏻not too much focus on the chicken and chips and with nicely seasoned vegetables too, but would be great if they brought back indoor dining, after all, lockdown is long over. Please do this, Sohos. It would be lovely to sit in at your restaurant again 🙏🏻 🥲❤️

07/09/2025: Great pub to pop in for a few cocktails, friendly service, great Irish atmosphere

18/08/2025: "Nuts Corner..." It certainly lives up to its name with an unimaginative interior, a sparse selection of alcohol behind the bar, and the gents which resembles a barren wasteland. It was a horrible experience and I won’t be returning anytime soon."

10/01/2025: The business was closed for three days last month. Weak pest control, open pipes and rat droppings led to a Westmeath take away being served a closure order last month. Take Away Express on Northgate Street in Athlone was issued the order on December 13th under the FSAI Act 1998, which was lifted three days later on the 16th. It was one of six food businesses across the country that was served a closure order by The Food Safety Authority of Ireland last month. The FSAI served 133 enforcement orders on food businesses in 2024, an increase of 45% from the 92 orders issued in 2023.

10/01/2025: Ordered a kebab meal, meat was cold, chips were cold, curry dip was cold. Would never consume again.

01/08/2025: Very good food with great service

24/07/2025: Food just not nice. but very nice delivery driver....Such a shame..

01/09/2025: Places needs a good cleaning..charged for a child in the buggy.. was a huge disappointment

30/08/2025: Please tell me if you have billiards and what is the price?

13/04/2025: Ordered a chicken shish kebab, menu stated chicken breast, as is chicken shish anywhere else I've had it. Received some foul smelling minced thing, disgusting. Phoned and was told "this is our traditional shish".... straight to the bin.

20/03/2025: The food and service were great.

02/10/2025: Went in at 6.05 advertised as open until 6.30pm two staff members there and said no were closed I asked were they not open until 6.30 they said no… not impressed. Shutters open lights on.

26/07/2025: The white chocolate Mocha is deadly 😁

17/08/2025: The staff closes before 8pm. Can't get served.

10/08/2025: Two lovely Asian girls behind the counter couldn't have given better service, checking to make sure I was happy with the sandwich whilst she made it. Obsessed with the marinara sauce.

26/06/2025: Very good and fresh fish. They were very fast. The workers and the owner are very kind and friendly. If you wanna try an original fish and chips go there.

03/05/2025: Lovely workers but I got one of the worst kebabs of my life in here. Ice Cold, I mean its like somebody took their leftovers out of the fridge from last night and gave them to me. All that I could taste in the kebab was lettuce... I cant fully even tell you what else was in there (It was a veg kebab, but jesus, I didnt order a freezing lettuce kebab).

06/08/2025: Very dated menu and decor. The soup tasted powdered like it came from a packet. Coffee tasted stale.

14/07/2025: We went for lunch on sat 12th July 2025. There was 4 of us. Two of us ordered the TOPSIDE BEEF. and the other 2 ordered the chicken and ham.. The chicken and ham when the chicken was lifted had a deli slice of ham..one thin piece.. The supposed to be topside beef was glorified beef slices again from a deli it was wafer thin. We use beef slices a lot so know what it's like..then on one of the chicken meal a piece of wood was found in the mouth of one of us. Brought it to the attention of waitress she tried to say it was from the stuffing a bit of herb ..no way was it. While we weren't charged for that meal it was so disappointing.as well as having to wait for nearly 30 mins. The plates were so hot they had to have come from the microwave.

25/06/2025: A regular customer of Kens restaurant for takeaway. Absolutely horrified this evening when browsing the menu to order takeaway for the family to see main courses had increased by up to 4 euro. 17.50 euro for a thai green curry dish. An outlandish increase. Wont be ordering from Kens again after being a customer for years.

01/04/2025: Got food delivered to us last night at our hotel as our hotel didn’t have a good variety. Needless to say worst experience I’ve had. The chicken in my spice bag tasted weird, like it had been re-freezed. My boyfriend ordered sweet and sour chicken and while he didn’t complain about the flavour at the time we both felt awful this morning. Some big toilet troubles really was just the cherry on top of this mediocre (if I’m being nice) takeaway.

13/05/2025: Rip off. €22 for chips 3 batter sausage+ 1 garlic dip + 3 cokes. Way too greasy too.

25/04/2025: I made an order. I paid for it. My order never arrived and they blocked my number after many call attempts
