I've visited this place at least 3 times now It's a great family friendly place to eat. All the food I've had has been delicious and probably beyond your "average" fast food I consider it value for money and look forward to coming back when visiting the local area

Upping my score again to 5 stars. Cooking food again the way you ask. That's all you want for your tenner. As the food has been the same for decades. To be fair the good staff at FT's has always Great.

Probably lasting years, in the heart of this town, is one of the best places for a nice meal at a reasonable price with one of the best milkshakes I've ever had.

Used to go here frequently years ago. Portion sizes seem to have halved. The dining itself was drafty. The fire door to the side of the room was very breezey and sitting away from it just got a breeze from the door. The servings used to satisfy me which used to be a tall ask. This evening I wanted more food straight away afterwards. The toilets were rough. I left them feeling dirtier than I did walking in. I only went in because Maya Cafe was closed. I won’t be back.

We got the chicken supreme meal. The curry/gravy (not too sure what the sauce is) is EXTREMLY salty, but apart from that, the flavour is there. Without so much salt, i would give the extra star. The chips are fab. My son loved the chicken burger meal.

Absolutely vile. Inedible. The coleslaw is white muck. No actual mayonnaise used and no lettuce or or pickles or anything with burgers.

The changes made to Friar Tucks where great from the original set up. You now have your own space, individual booth or tables, soft seating, pick and pay at counter and they bring to your table. Food as always is great. Their new coffee machine turns out a great cuppa.

Title: A Disappointing Dining Experience at Friar Tucks in Newry I recently had the unfortunate experience of dining at Friar Tucks in Newry, and I must say it was nothing short of a culinary catastrophe. From the moment I stepped through the door, it was evident that this fast-food establishment fell far short of basic hygiene and quality standards. The first issue that struck me was the overall cleanliness of the place. The dining area seemed like it hadn't seen a thorough cleaning in ages. Tables were sticky, floors were greasy, and the general atmosphere exuded neglect. It was disheartening to witness such a blatant disregard for basic sanitation. Moving on to the food, the dismal quality continued to plague my experience. I ordered a seemingly straightforward burger, expecting a standard fast-food fare. To my dismay, what arrived at my table was a sorry excuse for a meal. The burger patty was not only undercooked but downright raw in the center. The sight of pink, slimy meat was not only unappetizing but also a serious health concern. How a fast-food establishment could fail so spectacularly in basic food safety is beyond comprehension. To add insult to injury, the fries accompanying the burger were soggy and clearly over-fried. It was as if they had been sitting under a heat lamp for hours before being unceremoniously dumped on my tray. The entire meal was a testament to the lack of care and attention to detail in the kitchen. As if the unsavory conditions and unappetizing food weren't enough, the staff's lackadaisical attitude only exacerbated the issue. Attempts to bring these concerns to the attention of the employees were met with indifference. It was as if customer satisfaction held no importance to them. In conclusion, my experience at Friar Tucks in Newry was a regrettable journey into the abyss of subpar fast food. From the filthy environment to the shockingly undercooked burger, the entire ordeal was a showcase of negligence and incompetence. I strongly advise anyone considering dining at Friar Tucks to think twice and choose an establishment that values the basic tenets of cleanliness, food safety, and customer satisfaction. One star is a generous rating for this dismal excuse for a fast-food joint.

We had a wonderful family meal here. The sandwiches were great and the fried chicken was the best I had eaten in Ireland. The service was wonderful. This is a nice place to enjoy a meal. Revisited Friar Tucks tonight 12/10/2023. Great food and atmosphere. It's just a good place. I didn't have British Sterling coins to park and a good man paid for my parking. Newry is a nice town

Great food, super sauce is ace and chicken burgers are to die for. But they do have a tenancy to re cook food leading to dry and soggy food. (4/5) Update 2022, They're legendary chips are no more 😭. Used to be homemade, golden and chunk. Now they're a sloppy, greasy mess. FT, how could you. Minus 2 stars (2/5)

You can't go to Newry and not go to Friar Tucks it is a BIG MUST DO ! My favourite is a chicken burger meal, I always ask for PLENTY on the Chicken burger which means loads of Friar Tucks famous coleslaw you won't regret it. The Monaghan Street branch has a large seating area where you can enjoy your meal but I've had many a chicken burger take away sitting in the car. I'm sure the other choices on the menu are good but I've been stuck on the Number 1 with plenty from when Friar Tucks opened in Sugar Island in the 1980's !
