We called in here for a light snack and we both asked for coffee and brown bread. We were served the coffee but the brown bread came with just one plate so I had to use a napkin on the table. Staff were okay.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I’ve often stopped off here when en-route to / from Portlaoise and I’ve always been more than satisfied with the lovely choice of food available, the homely atmosphere and the great level of customer service I received. My experience today, however, has surpassed all my...expectations. To the staff member who listened to me and served my son and I earlier this morning, I cannot say a big enough thank you. What a lovely, kind person you are. I’m sorry I don’t know your name, but once again, thank you so much. The owners of this restaurant are so lucky to have you working with them. Well done to all.More

Went here last weekend with my daughter and my parents.We had been here a few times before for lunch but decided this time we would try the breakfast. All I can say is WOW, hands down one of the best breakfasts I have ever had...out. My daughter couldn’t decide between a breakfast and porridge so the lovely waitress suggested a small bowl of porridge first, which she was delighted with! I had the full Irish , there was so much food, I just couldn’t finish it!Everything on the plate was really tasty and presented so well Couldn’t believe the price, will definitely be backMore

Stopped here en route from Wexford to Mayo. Me and my dog. Had a gorgeous toasted ham cheese onion and tomato sandwich which came with a beautiful salad and a good coffee. When I asked where to take my dog for a little wee walk,...I was offered a drink of water for her. Very friendly staff. All the food looked delicious and reasonably priced. The toilets are on the ground floor - for anyone with mobility problems to know, lots of parking space. Easy access as it's located on the edge of town coming from Portlaoise on the N80. I can highly recommend The Hares Corner.More
