Treacy's Bar and Restaurant , Portlaoise, County Laois R32 X803

"Overall a nice experience. Staff were wonderful, patient and friendly. Service was quite good and prompt considering we got the last table and they were very busy. The food itself was a little above average, but nothing too hectic. We had the turkey and ham (nice, but basic with barely any ham), beef (tasty, but small portion size) and the lamb, which by far had the most meat of all three dishes, but was an incredibly fatty cut. Desserts were also had, and these were all above expectation with decent portion sizes, so no complaints at all there. Overall, I would definitely eat there again, but wouldn't put it to the top of the list or go out of my way to go back."

"Food and service was excellent! Would recommend this place to anyone. You would definitely see me again"

"Friendly staff and busy place but a very poor meal. We both went for the Beef and Guinness pie with ‘creamed’ potatoes and veg. Approximately 1/3 of the ‘beef’ was fat, ‘creamed’ potatoes were lumpy mash with no sign of having seen any butter or cream and the ‘pastry’ wasn’t just friable, it was dry and tasteless. The gravy had a nice flavour and the broccoli and cauliflower were cooked well but the carrots were grey round the edges and very over cooked. Other people’s meals looked ok but definitely don’t recommend this as a good meal."

"Great spot for a hearty meal with some of the tastiest pork (locally dourced) I have ever eaten. Good value for money. It's very popular so get there early."

"Get the jumbo Irish breakfast. Gives you a little taste of everything, but the sausage was my favorite. They are super generous with bread here. Very happy with our affordable breakfast. They have a beautiful backyard, but unfortunately it's getting too cold to dine outside now."
