Order placed at 16:50 in New Ross for 450m distance. It is now 20:04 - that is 3 hours and 14 minutes. The food still has not arrived.
Penguins are known for their agility, wisdom and incredible teamwork. They take care of each other and work together for the good of the colony.
Imagine how much you insult these animals by using their name while treating customers like this. Zero respect, zero organization, zero responsibility.
If you worked even 10% like real penguins, the order would have been here in 15 minutes.
Good thing I pay cash on delivery, because I would not accept food after 3 hours anyway. I do not trust it.
0/10. Shameful. People of New Ross, do not waste your time and money here.

Reviews
Easily the best fries I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. Sausages were a bit burnt for my taste, but i’ll definitely wanna go there again for the fries
Unfortunately, the quality of this place has steadily declined. The burger I received was borderline offensive. Two bottom buns with soggy bits of rashers on it. The staff have always been quite blunt, so now with all things considered I won’t be back here. Much better value to be found in TJ Bella’s.
