Mario's Diner — Restaurant in The Municipal District of Kilkenny City

I don't know what everyone else on here is thinking with their 4-5 star reviews, but this place was a straight up abomination. Here is my experience eating takeout here with a group. The crisps/fries were possibly the best part about the meal, which is not a good thing because we were questioning whether or not we were eating actual potatoes, as it seemed to be deep fried mush with no salt. The chicken burger was rubbery and did not taste like real chicken, and was also deep fried way more than it should have been. The "fresh cod" could hardly be described as fresh, and was questionably cod, tasting more like tuna and was wrapped in a 0.5 cm thick layer of deep fried grease. The veggie burger consisted of two buns, a tomato, and a patty that was made up of deep fried (again) mashed potatoes, peas, and corn. Everything about this meal was inedible, and we ended up giving the cod (pulled out of its greasy protective layer) to a stray cat and throwing the rest away. Overall, this was probably the worst experience I have ever had eating a meal in...

Absolutely rubbish, and scam artists of the highest order. Food is at least 4 euro more expensive if you eat in instead of takeaway. I noticed this straight away when I looked at the menu in the dining area and left. I got the takeaway instead and it was very average.

Also couldn't eat the hot dog as it was submerged in a yellow sea of mustard. Fairly vile. So to summarise; scam artists due to the insanely inflated food prices for eat in versus takeaway and smelly soggy mustard hot dog instead of tex Mex...

Gave €39 for one of the worst take aways I ever ordered anywhere . Salad Burger was absolutely miserable. The larger burgers were just thrown together and absolutely devoid of all taste . The bag of fries was literally all the bits from the bottom of the basket . The Garlic Fries were the same with 2/3s Garlic and the rest just chip bits . The garlic and cheese were just that ….very little fries .. At least the didn’t ruin the can of Coke I had ordered online , but the girl I met when I arrived was just ignorant . She might as well just have thrown the beeper disc at me saying I’d be called when it was ready . How the mighty have fallen . Not the Marios I...
