It's oddly quiet and a bit like sitting in a library. American day so far with two Starbucks coffees consumed and now this place. Dunno why it is but I'm in the mood for 'junk' food. Ironically there's a local sandwich bar right next door and the friendly efficient guy who took my one whopper (£3.89) one whopper free has just come in from buying his food next door. I suppose he's been here often enough to want something different. At nearly £4 for a burger it ain't cheap to add fries and a drink it comes out at about £5.50 - so for me it's once in a blue moon and truthfully if it wasn't for the BOGOF I wouldn't have come near the place. While Mc Donald's uses dried rehydrated onions this place uses fresh mild Spanish type and it makes a great positive difference to taste. They also still serve Heinz ketchup and I read somewhere that Mc Donald's either had stopped or are about to stop this brand. Another mistake in my book as it's great quality.

This turned out surprisingly well, but when I first looked at the pizza menu I wasn't impressed…read more I was expecting to have a pizza topped with anchovies, black olives, capers and prawns, but no, not as much as a sniff of any one these super pizza ingredients. The pizza and pasta menu is mostly chicken orientated with some beef, some pork and some vegetarian. We opted for a chicken based 18" between two with a Diet Coke and a sparkling water. The sparkling water was a generous portion. The Coke was 330ml which is fine as I'm now refusing to accept 200ml bottles because I'm really sick of Coca Cola just ripping people off: they claim 'rising costs' for gassy artificially sweetened filtered water so how come I can now buy champagne cheaper ml by ml. So our pizza was rectangular, impressively huge and cooked in intense wood fire heat. This produced a thin, delicious pizza base. The chicken was simply that, fresh chicken breast with tomato sauce, fresh tomatoes, red cabbage and, surprisingly, lettuce, not your usual pizza ingredient but welcome nonetheless. The mozzarella cheese seems real and not that rubbish made in a laboratory without any real cheese in it. The pizza was liberally dosed with garlic mayonnaise and a chilli mayonnaise sauce. The mayonnaise is factory produced and vegetable oil based. The chilli and garlic mayos were also on each table if more is needed. So all in all it was better than I thought, with pretty good service and friendly young staff. It's 3.5 stars and fish and olives would make it 5 star.

The last few times I've ordered delivery, the food has been late and cold, and something in the…read moreorder was wrong (the last three times at least). Their chips tend to clump together to form one giant greasy chip, which is just gross. Still the best chilli-garlic mayo ever though.

This place is only newly open. It's about a three star. The coffee is great but the big breakfast…read moreis overpriced, which strikes me as perhaps short-sighted given that there's well established stiff competition close by. We turned up just before Christmas to try it out and although we arrived near lunch time we were surprised to find that the place wasn't warm. Winter in Ireland is damp and cool and when you go out for a meal the least you expect is warmth. It was funny when the staff came over to take back the HP sauce which was about a minute or so just after we asked for it. Now that we have tried it once, I can't see us returning here as there's nothing that makes it better than its competitors and certainly the higher price point is a factor. I can get equally cheap meats about 5 minutes walk either side of this place and the other places are cosy warm. There's little on the evening menu to attract me, another burger and chicken joint, with no fish selection at all, so maybe it's being geared to a much younger crowd. That aside, the servers were a friendly bunch.

As fast food goes it's one of the better joints, certainly more expensive than most fast food…read moreplaces but if I go here once every two years that's the height of it. Needless to say it's not my choice ever, and I don't mind if I never return. Unlike Mc Donald's, the industrially made chips are chunky here and the portion is fairly generous. The chips don't go cold too quickly either. The taste suggests they are fried in vegetable oil. They even offer vinegar sachets. Mc D chips are grim and there wouldn't be a single decent size potato's worth in a medium serving. My choice here was their chicken fillet burger and that's what you get, a very lightly battered decently portioned piece of chicken breast in a white bread seeded bun. It costs about £5.50. Add another £2 for a fizz less soft drink and chips The chicken is stringy, which is what happens when chicken is frozen then cooked more than once. I had coleslaw atop; well not really coleslaw it's white cabbage slaw as it was only white cabbage and industrially made, persil white mayonnaise, with no shortage of mayonnaise. No fresh tomato, no pickled gherkin, no fresh lettuce. Little chance of a part of your five a day here, maybe the chips. I tried a child's chicken nugget and it was again a very light batter and chicken breast. Again not like you - know - who that finds it acceptable to mince chicken breast meat and skin about fifty - fifty and serve this up to kids, euch. A child's meal with a soft drink is £4. I looked and smelled the chicken gravy. Oh dear, no thank you. It had the consistency of well mixed cement. It also had a skin on top which was resistant to chip dipping - so the kid I watched pushed the gravy skin to one side. We were upstairs which was uncomfortably cold, barely comfortable seats, factory warehouse dull and had a faint whiff of chicken gravy, which I found unpleasant.

This place changed hands a while ago and it's been a long time since I last visited. Its my first…read morevisit since it became Number 7. Three of us dined. It's a bright & airy restaurant with good disabled access (but I wouldn't want to negotiate a wheel chair to the bathroom as it looks like it would be difficult with the current seating layout. The ambience is casual with friendly staff and great background music played at the right level to allow conversation. The seating is comfortable, the plates and bowl contemporary with glasses stamped with Jamie Oliver's name. The staff are mega friendly, it's well staffed so the service is attentive without being obtrusive and overall it's a relatively cheap and cheerful place to have a meal. There's free wifi albeit with the hassle of having to ask staff for a code having to log in with an 8 or 9 digit code. I had to ask twice before I got the code. Most importantly the food is fairly priced to match the dishes on offer and everything we got was cooked to perfection. To me its a reasonably priced upmarket greasy spoon (this is not a criticism just a way of describing cafe style 'fast' food) with the main fare being various burgers with variations of beef burgers with pepper sauce or with bacon or onion rings and so on. The chicken burger is breast meat with a light batter and there's a vegetarian choice burger too. There was one pasta dish which was vegetarian and add a £1 if you wish to include chicken, but no option to add prawns. The menu also offered sandwiches, salads and soups. Most mains were around the £8 mark. The blackboard specials did announce a fillet steak with chorizo, and pepper sauce about £20. The Facebook page did show previous dishes including tempura prawns and other more up market dishes but no sign of them when we were there. I had two pieces of lightly battered thin hake, a wet white fish (I prefer cod or haddock) with factory prepared, bought - in potatoes for chips (properly cooked in veg oil and served piping hot) tasty tinned mushy peas and industrially made mayonnaise with added gherkins. No one soaks peas overnight nor makes fresh mayonnaise no doubt it's blamed on elf & safety. Soaking the peas would produce a mega tasty product. One real bug bear for me - the diet coke serving in tiny 190 ml bottles is a real rip off. I seen babies bottles bigger. This American giant is taking the p**s. It makes it dearer than wine to buy a cheap, chemically sweetened fizzy drink. The unit cost of cola in the bottle must be well less than a penny. It's not good value for money for the customer either. Rant over. They do make good coffee too so all things considered well worth a visit.

It's always busy. They do serve take-out lunches daily and the queues for Sunday lunch around £8 is always long. It brings a lot of employment locally. The car parking is free, the prices at the fuel station are competitive and their off licence has a great range of booze. I go chiefly for their black pepper sauce as it's a great base for me to add my own double cream and cognac when I cook fillet steak. One thing customers need to be mindful of is the heavily discounted products, while many are cheap their sell - by dates are often up and you could be buying something that tastes awful especially diet drinks and crisps that go rancid very fast. They make their own fresh 2 ounce steak burgers about £1 each in the butchery section. They are very good, but for me I still prefer my M&S 5% Aberdeen Angus minced beef for my own beef burgers. He still hasn't installed EV chargers so one has to go across the road to the Damolly Retail Park for that. Oh, speaking of EV charging, it made me laugh to see the Orange buffoon overturn the dignity of the White House to change it into a car showroom for the Muskrat's Swasticar - next they'll both be in a movie The Fast and the Führer.

It's likely now that dine in will re open here in the next two weeks - 24 May 2021 - for all cafes and restaurants. There's not much to say about the food. It's mostly overpriced, high fat, high sugar, low fibre junk. I occasionally go through drive thru for a cheap coffee if I'm driving out of the city to go to another town as we've no drive thru Starbucks nor Costa nearby and I've never seen a drive thru local independent. The staff here are usually efficient, courteous and this is despite the fact that most staff earn a minimum rather than being paid a living wage when the owners could easily afford to pay their workers properly. The fact is that when governments set minimum wages, capitalism sees it as the maximum wage; the sensible solution must be that governments legislate for living wages and force a living wage for the low paid. The fact is that this international corporation has it both ways as it can and does effectively maximise the price of junk food (google the Big Mac index) and pay the least it can in wages and tax with the taxpayer subsidising the low paid worker and also the big earners. The corporation seems to see no contradiction in signing up to 'fair trade' coffee but won't sign up to fair wages. No wonder when advertising Mc Donald's says it's 'loving it' - yip, all the way to the bank and who knows where after it courtesy of taxpayers and ineffective politicians. Although this is a first review I've reviewed this place several times before so Yelp strikes again with disappearing my reviews.

The double cooked chips are just about alright, but not very good, as they weren't crispy, as if they are not cooked at the proper temperature. Too expensive not to be just perfect. You'd imagine with over 100 years in business they could serve up perfect fish and chips every time. The cod was cooked to order, which is a plus, but the cod is disappointingly quite thin. The batter is delicious and light though. The fish was good but again should be more chunky at this price. I had a look at the sit in menu as I waited for my order. I saw that a fish and chip for one person with tea, bread and butter is about £10. Again overpriced by £1.50 and no-one was sitting - in so join the dots. Why is it in this mentality that prompts a rip - off action rather than a fair price? The staff certainly are a friendly bunch. Parking on the plaza is a real challenge driver courtesy is hard to find. I won't rush back.
