    I was there with the wife tonight. The app wasn't working right so I ordered from the bar, our food was there within 10 minutes and was very good. The drinks were all good as were the prices. The only down side was some of the punters.

    Was in there a while back. Couldn't get the app to work so we went to the bar to order and pay (one of us had to stay and guard the table) which was rammed with young lads on the tear. Absolute chaos.

    Food was fast and cheap but it wasn't nice cheap food like chipper, it was cheap cheap food. Like supervalu chunky cut frozen chips and Birdseye quarter pounder cheap. **** you'd cook yourself in the oven at home.

    I guess it is what it is though. It's not a typical restaurant and the food isn't great but they can pump the food out fast and cheap. Ideal for students and people out for the night but wouldn't be on my list of places to frequent in future unless I was out on the lash.

    I was there a few weeks ago with my parents and their grandkids. Not a great experience.

    Ordering food through the app was a pain in the arse (especially for 6 people).

    None of us are in any rush to go back. Food was poor. Chips were bland and luke warm. Burger was a like it came from a supermarket pack.

    My nephew got a pepperoni pizza and it had 6 miserable pieces of pepperoni on it. He said it was too salty too.

    The place was jammed though... they must be doing something right.
    As a customer experience, it was awful.

    It's all to do with price.

    Do you expect Shelbourne Hotel service at Wetherspoons prices?

    Think the last poster was referring to local Irish establishments that offer better quality food.

    The Click offers quality service and the food is tasty. Just pay a bit more

    People like the idea of a bargain. But in reality there getting fleeced.

    Please stop posting giving advertising to a company that heats up dog food. Then feeds it to people with low IQ

    Let's be honest, Wetherspoon's food is not going to win any awards, and is basically like eating a selection of frozen food from Iceland. But it's priced accordingly.

    I do get the feeling that a lot of the negative comments and reviews I've seen online may come from certain businesses who feel threatened. I don't think most Carlow pubs need to worry, except those who are fleecing the public.

    The Deli-deal at 4.95 is good value.

    Bowl of soup

    + panini/wrap

    + unlimited tea/coffee

    = 4.95

    From that link is also Tims takes on Brexit; as a pro Brexiteer is he not a tad hypocritical?

    Think he'll find that overall Brexit with deal or no deal, is bad for Ireland from a socio-economic p.o.v.; things're already heating up in the North over last 5-6 years on both sides; we don't want destabilising of an already tenuous peace process; I'm too old to want to see those days returning.

    Was in there last night, very cheap and good pints, 3.50 euros for a lovely pint of Carlsberg. Also very comfortable, chilled atmosphere, lovely clean toilets.

    Must be a big hit with the students in Carlow and it keeps manners on the other publicans in that they can't push up the price of their own drink too much

    "Chilled atmosphere" - Not a chance . I've been there plenty of times and there is always some kind of a ruckus between the staff and customers.

    I agree about the toilets though, probably the nicest pub toilets in Carlow.
