Friar Tucks in Newry and Mourne

The manager ruined the experience, whilst he didn't yell at me, he yelled at my daughter and son for sitting down before I had came in to order, (it toook me two minutes to enter the store) and I also watched him berate his staff, than procede to yell and manhandle a teenage boy who was sitting alone, no matter the reason it is disgraceful attitude from leader in a workplace. Can't believe he keeps a job. While I see they don't reply to reviewers or take any advice in I hope this does some good and urges people to stay away from this hellish restaurant.

I got a chicken burger and chips and chicken gravy and the chicken gravy was awful and the chips tasted weird the chicken burger was nice just way too much coleslaw on it was expecting better from this place tbh

Poor quality of food that is expensive. The order was delivered incorrectly (twice) and the stuff members attitude was of someone who was most inconvienced. The chips were also undercooked and the majority of the food left greasy and uneaten.

Best chicken burgers in Northern ireland

My fish and chips were genuinely tiny the fish was about 3 peices of fish on a plate, bleedin disgrace

Good prices, fast service, but a bit too much for me, I recommend it

Not enough staff serving so queue was out door and had to wait over 15mins for takeaway food.

My family and I have orderer 3 chicken burgers from here and wow the chicken was so pink and the chicken was sooo disgusting that it had turned me off eating takeaway meat overall - we had called them back to let them know what has happened and we got told by the manager “sure the chicken can’t be raw” making it seem like we were stupid and told us to come in but we didn’t bother because we knew what they would have said, that the chicken is fine but from my picture clearly it isn’t!

Best chicken sandwiches in ireland! Very fast and kind service

Great place for fast food. Better than a lot of places for fast food I've visited. Good selection of burgers of several sorts. Also other meals like I had . Chicken supreme meal ( see photos) lovely flavoured creamy pepper sauce over fresh cut chips. They also do wraps and salads (various) and pizzas to. Clean place with plenty of seating for eating there. Various soft drinks and beverages to. It was busy when I went but it was lunch time. Disabled access. There is street parking or car parks but you have to pay. And they are very busy. Staff are pleasant and helpful. Toilets are average. If your hungry you certainly come out full.

Long waiting times, low quality food for high prices.

3 times now did not receive full order

Excellent service, Excellent food, Excellent atmosphere and the establishment was spotless

The best Friar Tuck in Newry, staff helpful & friendly, food is great although a little overpriced, kids toy with meal is excellent as keeps kids amused so adults can eat their food, raspberry sundae is excellent & Slush machine well priced , toilets are excellent also

Chicken burgers and coleslaw are fantastic washed down with strawberry milk shake

Tasty food & great salads ‐ good to have choice & option. Fast efficient service. The staff aim to please. A well run business.

Best takeaway ever, you all don't know how good you have it. Wish they'd open one up in Belfast, nowhere I know does good chips like these guys, especially when dipped into the sauce 👌 By the time I got to the burger, I was already stuffed but still enjoyed every bite. Had a humble cashier too, very easy to talk to. Not everybody in customer service should be in the job, but these people are great. Loved hearing all the nostalgic Newry chats going on, everybody is so friendly here. My chef girlfriend found it amusing how they mix fast food type wrapping with cuisine cutlery. Said she'd never seen it before. She's Michelin Star level, but really liked the food too. Get some if you can.

Every time we come home for a visit we always make time to get a Friar Tucks fix. This location is pretty good with lots of atmosphere. The food is so tasty but let's be real it's not healthy lol. We always order their Chicken Burger with Coleslaw and Gravy Chips there's nothing else like it anywhere. 5 🌟

Great chicken burger as per usual. The chips were awful, clearly ran out of the usual standard chips and replaced then with oven chips from the supermarket. Paying £20 for two burgers and a chip you wouldn’t expect your chips to be from the freezer. Very disappointing considering what it should be.

Best Veggie Burger 🍔 in Newry and the curry chips 🍟 are very nice 👍

The bun of chicken burger was very soggy and small compared to a year ago

Class spot, best chicken fillet burger in the world, pair it with a super chip and your set

Beautiful food. Service was very good. Chips are unreal.

Gravy is v nice. Came on a plate so no packaging to dump, tasty chicken and chips

Nice chicken, beef burgers not so great. Stick to the chicken dishes and you can't go wrong

Bit weird having chips served on a plate and chicken burger served in a polystyrene box. Food was good though

Decent food, the chicken boxes are delicious. Great service.

Money well spent I don't go to McDonald's anymore

Best chicken burgers around. If you have never tried them - you should. Chicken supreme is my second choice.

Some staff are absolutely lovely, the manager needs to treat them with kindness and respect haven't seen it one bit and the bathroom is absolutely disgusting. The boss/manager has put me off the most. Do better.

first time back in 14 years and the chicken burger was just as good as I remembered 🤤 two stars for atmosphere... feel sorry for the staff that have to clean up, people are gross.

Friendly staff, great to sit in and relax, price is so so but food is great.

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.

Great food crew seating and decor well worth a visit

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.

Yummy gravy chips. Busy spot good atmosphere 👌

Service quick and friendly food was very tasty and fresh

Absolutely amazing food and great value for money. Will definitely be back 😁

1st time trying the chicken chip mix everything on it served in a bowl and plenty of it would recommend it I'll be back again 👌👌

Food as always amazing love the super ft meal

Absolutely gorgeous food. Lovely staff. Definitely be back again!

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

Friar Tucks legendary super FT Meal... Chicken burger with coleslaw and chios covered in chicken gravy. Honestly....its cracking.

Always the 1st stop back when I'm back from Australia. The chicken burgers and chips are the best here.

Lovely atmosphere. Staff very attentive to my young children and I. Only reason for 4* is kids chicken nuggets were too over done and my twins wouldn't eat them. Other than that was good

3 staff on 12 Oct evening slow beyond words - ice cold chicken burger - staff farting about chatting hanging about making milk shakes for 10 minutes whilst hot food for others sat out for 10 odd minutes without the heater lights even on to keep it warm a poor run shambles of an outfit with lazy disinterested staff

Our days shopping in Newry would never be complete if we didn't go in for our usual chips curry & tea before we get the bus to the train station. The staff are always so nice & the food hot.

Great chicken burger. But I never get the chips. Staff are A1

Lovely food, comfortable, spacious environment, plenty of food choices for a range of prices and very attentive staff.

Decent Chippy. Wasn't blown away, but likewise, nothing to complain about in the food. Staff friendly, service standard quick speed. 4 outta 5 is my result

Gorgeous food, coleslaw, chicken only downside is it's expensive.

Not as good & portions not as big as I remember from years ago but that may be rose tinted memory glasses. Coleslaw still great though.

Only place you can get a chicken burger that's got as much coleslaw as chicken

Not recommend 😕 very bad service. People hu come after my family got food faster 😒 never back in monaghan steet

Good tasty food . Quick and delivered straight to our table . Staff were very pleasant also.

Disgusting to mayo in burger beacon wasn’t well Done !

I got a delivery for a garlic cheese chip and I could of walked there and back and it would of been quicker it was the worst food ever I was near sick I cried because it was so bad I wouldn’t feed it to a dog it shouldn’t even be a restaurant it should be a good recycling place when I ate it Greece was sliding of it and it felt like I just ate a tub of garlic dip I would give it a 0 star if I could

Brilliant service and great food

Lovely place staff so helpful 😀

Drove to Newry solely to come here with our toddler for the soft play & Ice cream only to be told the soft play is closed for good and there was no ice cream..class👎

Anytime I visit N.Ireland, the first food on my mind is always Friar Ticks. I never miss it! I have tried various menu’s and they’re up to a good takeaway standard. I like their coleslaw and signature gravy sauce. Looking forward to my next order.

Such nice seating area, nice decor and the food is the best

Ordered food and not even sat down 5 mins and we had or food

Lovely food, unfortunately, just visiting

Friendly, fast and good quality food. Always get a supreme FT meal with curry sauce… delicious

Cate bate Friar Tucks bai, especially the slaw bomb on your chicken borgor!

Solid but prices creeping up Still the same

Chicken Burger with plenty best burger in the World!!!

Fish & Chips advertised on board in shop, but NOT on Menu🙄

Love this place fast food but served on plates kids toys with meals are amazing compared to other fast food restaurants. Staff are so friendly an nice ☺️

My spouse loves this place and we always visit every time we come up. They do an amazing chicken fillet burger with enough coleslaw to feed a family.

We went to it at roughly 3, got told was too busy. Came back later got kicked out. Nearly got voice raised at. Near banned. Not happy with this experience.

No hair on food and lovely food

Not great. Sent cheeseburger back as wasn’t very warm,got replacement wasn’t much better,there was also a hair in the bottom of the chip container that my son had.

Top notch fast food place, can't fault it.

I go there every time I go to the North Ireland love it

Great service and food. Supereme chicken special. Always a treat

Use to take kids upstairs and they loved it, so that part is now closed and kids have no interest to ho there.

First class food and service excellent.

Probably the best of all the friar tucks

Just ordered a quarter pounder beef burger. To be fair it was not bad. At £4.29 price was ok. And burger when it came was fine. Staff were nice. Will try again.

Haven't been here in a while glad to see the portions and quality of the food has improved

Goats cheese salad with half portion of crispy chips. The best!

Food was lovely. Haven't been in here in years was pleasantly surprised at the size of it now & the customers never stopped coming in, was really busy. Will definitely be back

I'm from London and live in Belfast. Was in Newry for the afternoon. This place exceeded my expectations and made my trip much more enjoyable. Absolutely gorgeous! Will definitely get chicken fries with gravy sauce again. Best chicken shop of all times!

Food was ok. Especially rude and scruffy member of staff Lorraine. Who is rude to customers and the other staff.

One of the best salads I ever had .

Staff were lovely. Food fine but the place needs a good deep clean.

Best chicken burger in town. Good cole slaw and the curry is not too hot on the chips. You a large portion as well. Quick friendly staff

Large choice of menu. Plenty of seating. Clean, efficient staff, fast service.

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)

Food nice...portions have got smaller
