Crap burnt food and crap service I found, not surprised if they are to close down, as much as I hate seeing any business close down though.

Burger's / wings etc are good, no better or worse than other places, their "double fried" chips are $hite, but the staff really took the pi$$ with customer service........

Shower of incompetent basterds. Staff didn't know the menu. Was told to go offo to get drink. Kitchen looked a mess and the burger under cooked (mr at best) complaint to the bewildered girl. Chef made new burger. Same issue.
Id imagine enough complaints along with no usable menu was the last straw

It was inevitable. Rubbish food and awful customer service.

Hopefully the owners will learn from it if opening a new place in the future

I love the place. Burgers are good, chips are amazing and the price is reasonable. My only gripe is the long waits for a seat sometimes - which is why i would be surprised they closed as they always seem busy

Was in there Friday night and the girl serving us told us that they had been shut the last couple of days and had only decided to open at lunch time that day. So there were items missing off the menu as a result.

I was heading into town on the bus today coming from Rathmines direction and was able to catch a glimpse of a new sign. It was changed to Australian..... Something. I couldnt see the rest of it. Not sure if it changed hands or what

There's a business dispute between the two partners who own the business.

Looking at the Facebook page it seems a lot of people agreed the place was crap

Kiltennel

I don't particularly like the food but whenever I've been to it there has always been a massive queue. Last time I went it took us 30 minutes to be seated. Certainly seems to be enough people who think it's good. The service was certainly a piss take.

Went past the place at Portobello on the bus this evening. The blackboard on the wall outside said "Be Back Soon" or something to that effect.

Re-opened for business yesterday.

must have a look some evening. Sounds like a good idea if the weather is nice.

Are they closed again? Have walked past a few times recently and the shutters are down, and they seem to be gone off Deliveroo too. People asking the same thing on twitter as well. Not too fussed because I've never really liked it(agree with the old posters on this thread, it was very mediocre), just curious.

Liquidation, premises was up for sale/rent on Daft a while ago.

Ah, I missed that, thanks. A shame, hopefully the premises gets used by something. That street is a little run down, especially with the homeless hostel(?) next door. Great sushi restaurant across the road though.

Had a great burger there recently but not sure it was really worth the price tag.
