Burger King
01/08/2026: Terrible service. I waited exactly 25 minutes to get what I didn't order... and it wasn't even busy. Half of the staff is doing nothing staring at a screen like it's the live broadcast of the first moon landing... still they can't get anything right. I ordered an Angus Farmhouse burger only and a kids meal (burger and onion rings)... I got an unrecognizeable beat up cold burger, 2 fries and onion rings... Seeing all the fries I didn't order I asked them to double check the order... They did and took the fries away... Now the kids burger was missing still so I had to ask check the order one more time... so eventually after explaining to them whats missing (as they were keep telling me it is all there)I got the kids burger... all of this after 25 minutes waiting. Also, I ordered eat-in but got a bag no tray.
28/07/2026: Food took ages. Coffee took longer, no gas in coke, chicken cold. Not nice at all. I sent a lot of emails and not once did anyone ring me all I got was what seemed to be an automated email response. Disgraceful carry on. Never again will I go to burger king you have ruined it fir me by ignoring me. Disgraceful again

Baltinglass Golf Club
21/06/2026: Do not eat here. The vegetables were rock hard it’s gonna take me a week to digest and the Fish pie looks like it has been digested. It’s very overpriced I wouldn’t even serve this slop to a dog
21/05/2026: total scam - Got a voucher for a 4-ball - Tried to call multiple times and e-mailed them. Left messages each time I called and no response - Stay away

San Marino
Bray
29/05/2026: Wouldn't say that it's the worst chipper, but will say my husband tossed the dog a chip - the dog then puked, pulled the chip out of the vomit, then set the chip to the side before eating the rest of his vomit. The story alone is worth the 5*s
14/05/2026: I'm going to be honest, San Marino Bray was never really that great, and it's on a continuous decline. The last few times I've ordered from here, the chips have NOT been fresh. Everything else is mediocre at best. I can recommend San Marino Bray as a last resort, as there are better takeaways around.

The Dough Box
Bray
20/08/2026: Hard to know how or when a collection order is ready. No one on the desk, no indication on the order panel, no bell to ring - probably expect customers are telepathic. And that’s why I give 1 star for service. And I know it’s pizza
25/07/2026: Waited 45 mins, pizzas cold. Poor service. Expensive

The Royal Hotel
Bray
01/07/2026: AVOID. AVOID. AVOID. Look elsewhere.
If I could give NO STARs I would..
..deeply unsettling stay in Room 107. It is not a guest room!; it is an elite, endurance test designed to shatter your spirit and forge mental toughness.
The Cryogenic Solitude:
The management has thoughtfully curated a biting, sub-zero indoor climate. To ensure guests fully immerse themselves in the deep-freeze experience, they completely decommissioned our radiator and displayed it in the hallway like a modern art installation. The dampness is so absolute you don't just breathe the air—you wear it.
Elite Concierge Service:
The hotel staff have masterfully achieved a state of total, meditative silence by completely ignoring our requests. The room was never cleaned throughout our stay, bed-sheets dirty, no clean cups, no hoovering, no dusting, etc. ensuring our environment remained completely untouched by the burdens of modern civilization.
The DIY Engineering Challenge:
The shower drain was missing its primary filter mechanism, threatening an immediate, indoor flash flood. Luckily, we were able to save the entire wing from destruction by engineering a custom water-routing system using a teaspoon. It really brings a rustic, survivalist, Tom Hanks in Cast Away energy to your morning routine.
The Detention Special:
Navigating the older wing is a mental puzzle. The architecture is a genuine labyrinth, paying a homage to the site's 1920s history as a fortified wartime detention facility. It has held onto that exact violent, oppressive energy.
The Advanced Entertainment Package:
The in-room TV proudly offered a state-of-the-art "interactive grey screen" experience. It absolutely refused to show any channels, it could only be turned ''ON'' and ''OFF''.
If you decided to look out the window instead: The windows of the hotel room overlooked onto a graveyard..
The Culinary and Leisure Amenities:
The restaurant serves food so completely devoid of flavour.. Afterward, you can unwind in the swimming pool, which features a distinct, unmistakable toilet aroma and a floating biohazard that I can only describe as an uninvited, highly organic swimming companion.
In conclusion, this stay wasn't a vacation—it was a total, multi-level nightmare masquerading as a hotel booking.
The Royal Bray has achieved a spectacular masterclass in negative hospitality. Got no sleep throughout the stay.
I can never, in good conscience, recommend that a single living soul ever cross this threshold. Avoid this entire property at all costs, unless you have actively budgeted to pay actual money for a historical, dark and atmospheric hostage situation.

M&J Chinese Bray
Bray
25/02/2026: Got a spice box for 12.50, expecting a large box. The box was around the size of my hand and contained very little food. Extreme waste of money not worth 12.50. A spice bag has more
01/01/2026: We ordered a Chinese at 9:20 and they delivered to the wrong address , the lady who received the order rang us and told us that they received our order. We rang again and told them we want our food and they told us they’d make us a fresh order then they attempted to go back to the house and try get the food that was already delivered . This is extremely poor service we had to ring again and tell them that we’ve been waiting 2 hours and they were saying it’s not our problem: this is ridiculous.

Lemon Tree
Blessington
05/09/2026: This take away is an absolute disgusting disgrace.
It used to be just ok, not much choice in Blessington, but its has gone to the dogs over the last year or so.
I did stop using it over the poor quality of the food for a while, and against my better judgment I decided to give it another go.
I collected a take away on my way home from work and I have to say the food was borderline inedible.
The final straw was when my wife discovered a long black hair in her food.
It was immediately put in the bin.
I returned to the restaurant at my first opportunity to raise the issue and was met with nothing but arrogance and hostility from staff that had absolutely no intention of dealing with this in a professional manner.
Despite the fact I had photos of the hair in the food, I was not believed and made to feel as if I was lying and trying some sort of scam.
All I wanted was a refund for my wife's meal.
The customer service in this place is as bad as the food, and I would strongly recommend you avoid it.
Having read some of the other reviews, it's apparent that this is not the first time human hair has ended up in people's food
I will be making a report to the food safety authority to highlight this issue and hopefully they will take the appropriate action.
15/08/2026: I got a Lemon Tree munchy box delivered to my mates house so both of us can share. It cost 25 euros which is quite steep for the quality of food that was served. The curry and barbecue sauces were actually decent in fairness, but they lacked flavour. The munchbox was a bit of a disaster though, due to the chicken balls having a slimy texture to them, which ain't normal for any chicken ball, as they should be somewhat crunchy. The chicken was processed too, as it felt like jelly in your mouth, which needs to be sorted. There was also a lack of seasoning, in which it made the food somewhat tasteless. The spring rolls and chips tasted what was expected, so no complaints about that, and the ribs tasted decent, as the meat was not hard as a brick. I gave the service and atmosphere 0 stars as I did not go into the restaurant and i was not the one collecting the delivery. Sort your food out and maybe you might get more customers in the future. Thanks.

Jausna
Wicklow
06/06/2026: The food didn’t taste bad but it definitely didn’t taste like biryani and chicken butter.
Also it took them so long to deliver the food.
27/04/2026: The worst Indian dinner I've ever had. Ingredients missing from dishes. Meat was sparse, naan was like rubber, mushroom dish was mostly onions. Chips were grand.

Indian Spice Company Newtown
Wicklow
03/08/2026: Took 1 hour 45 mins to deliver and the food arrived cold. Food was cold and chewy. Wouldn't order again.
07/04/2026: Takeaway non-veg meal with lamb sheekh with lamb madras. So nice! But I am not sure why there’s no samosa. Anyway, lamb beriani wasn’t that bad because there’s this strong flowery smell. Not sure what was it.
