I'm almost certain I've reviewed this place before on Yelp and like other reviews particularly on…read morebusinesses in Ireland they disappeared. Now let's be clear, as with the last time I reviewed it, I'm not reviewing the Tesco but the Costa coffee bar within the Tesco. This Tesco has a similar design to quite a few others with vast free car parking underneath and the supermarket one floor up. Dundalk now has about 4 Costa stores. This Costa which is dark good is on the 1st floor concourse, not far from the escalator, with about 30/40 seats. The staff are a friendly bunch and it seems to get by on very few staff. It has a good range of sweet and savoury food and their flat white coffee is exceptionally tasty. The inexplicable bit is the 50% cost uplift in comparison to Northern Ireland.

Creepy guy with a moustache serves at the till, (actually I think he is the owner) he always look like a rabbit caught in the headlights, not exactly Mr. Personality either, a smallish store with steep enough prices, could be better and more friendly for sure.

It's always busy. They do serve take-out lunches daily and the queues for Sunday lunch around £8 is always long. It brings a lot of employment locally. The car parking is free, the prices at the fuel station are competitive and their off licence has a great range of booze. I go chiefly for their black pepper sauce as it's a great base for me to add my own double cream and cognac when I cook fillet steak. One thing customers need to be mindful of is the heavily discounted products, while many are cheap their sell - by dates are often up and you could be buying something that tastes awful especially diet drinks and crisps that go rancid very fast. They make their own fresh 2 ounce steak burgers about £1 each in the butchery section. They are very good, but for me I still prefer my M&S 5% Aberdeen Angus minced beef for my own beef burgers. He still hasn't installed EV chargers so one has to go across the road to the Damolly Retail Park for that. Oh, speaking of EV charging, it made me laugh to see the Orange buffoon overturn the dignity of the White House to change it into a car showroom for the Muskrat's Swasticar - next they'll both be in a movie The Fast and the Führer. It's a funny old world.

The great thing is they usually have free samples which is a great way to try before you buy. The butchers does really great meat and they have a handy little deli counter. This branch is really spacious and everything is easy to find. They offer the superscan option, where you scan your own products as you shop and then just bring the receipt to the counter and pay. And they have recently introduced self scan check outs. The shop is usually pretty packed and queues are really long, but this can be avoided by using the self scan check outs. If you have the money to spare, or want to get some quality food and do not mind spending that bit extra, at least check out the bakery section

A modest sized store (but then size ain't everything boys...) but it is jammed packed with bargains and good offers, and I defy you to get better service. All you could want in a supermarket, so ok lets break it down here. Ample FREE parking Friendly staff Huge selection of grocery and non grocery items Fantastic meat counter Post office within Great deals on everyday items As well as this the staff will help you out with larger items, and they have a brilliant outdoor/diy section out the back where you will get everything from BBQ tongs to coal buckets to rat traps. I highly recommend Hunters, I know for a fact many have abandoned the bigger chains for the convenience and ethos to shop locally, and I cant blame them, this is a great store and that is obvious by its huge customer base. Go Hunters!

I've been known to grab one just to amble around the nearby charmless ASDA. It's a mish mash place and it's all the better for it. It has a sit in restaurant; it's a green grocers and a butchers (with a Himalayan salt cabinet to dry age good beef, turning an exquisite product to a sublime one) a deli shop and it does a range of ready meals, cooked hot meals to takeaway, coffee & cakes, sweet & savoury pies and they bake breads. A few visits ago I was tempted by their lemon meringue tarts as they sat nestled among other sweet treats. It's £2.4 for the pie and it's a generous single portion if you're a pig (moi? perish the thought) or go half and half with someone else (moi? perish the thought). As the old Irish saying says 'it was looking at me'. Oh matron don't mind if I do. And I did. It was very nice. The staff greet you warmly
