The best restaurants

20/07/2025: Hi, Sitting here writing this review, we ordered breakfast. Arrived cold, they reheated the plate. Beans were burnt and pale, poached eggs were too runny, not cooked correctly to eat. This is the first review I've done, normally we let it slide if we get bad food. But this was so bad. The Service was great, waitress so apologetic, not her fault.

19/07/2025: we’ve gone here before and really loved the food. We haven’t been in about 6 months and the entire menu has changed and is way smaller now. The food is expensive for what you get, they forgot one of our sandwiches and it was rushed out to the table. The cheese wasn’t melted on any of the food, we ordered garlic cheese chips and most of the cheese was at the bottom with very little sauce. My partner found something hard in their beef toastie which seemed to be a part of a bone. Staff were very good despite everything. Food was disappointing for the price that you pay and it’s a massive downgrade from what it was.

18/01/2026: It’s good here but they just give you medium roost straight away have to specify I want the dark and it’s dog friendly ❤️

01/01/2026: I pop in here regularly with my two boys. Staff are always pleasant and tables and store kept clean. My kids love pretending that their orange juice is a coffee ☕

01/11/2025: The coffee is decent, decor is cute but they really need to work on getting friendlier staff. The woman at the counter was so rude. Pity because it lets the place down

24/10/2025: This place is really cute and has a great aesthetic. I love the decor on the walls. The food itself is pretty disappointing for the price. My hot chocolate was a bit watery and I ordered a ham and cheese croissant but they said I had to take it to go since there were no seats. They popped it in a brown paper bag and the cheese and oil leaked through. It tasted ok though

22/07/2025: The team was able to find us a table last minute. Food was served promptly, and oh boy what a great burger and crinkle chips.

02/07/2025: The separate vegan menu is so nice to have. I actually asked the server if the menu was vegetarian, because the options seemed too good to be vegan. It is still limited to 2 main dishes, 2 starters, and 2 desserts. However, that is more options than you'd find in most places. I had the Halloumi Arranccini balls, the pasta (good and spicy topped with yogourt), and the brownie with raspberry sorbet. The brownie wasn't worth it, but the rest was fantastic. The price is a bit high in my opinion for what I got. It was a nice night out for sure.

14/10/2025: Smashing pub. If there's a band on, make it your business to get down to it, guaranteed to be hopping.🤘 Good for the sports also. Guinness is worth a mention too.

17/07/2025: Great management, run smoothly. AC/DC enthusiasts! Rock stars with great Guinness!

13/03/2026: I cycled a hundred miles the day I visited The Courtyard Café and was very impressed with the Chicken Caesar wrap and chips that was served, absolutely outstanding.

19/12/2025: I ordered a cake as a family present from The Courtyard Cafe.. It was ready and given on payment with no fuss. The staff were nice and good and I'm writing particularly because the cake was first class.. the price was really good for the top job that was done. I'm going there in future. Needless to say the Birthday cake was gone into the bellies in no time. People commented on how good the cake looked and it was tasty regards, Anthony.

03/02/2026: Popped here for a Sunday brunch….never again! The food was awful, the service was rude and unprofessional, noticed an hair in my food, reported to a waiter an Indian guy I think, the response was shocking! Saying that is that quite usual here!!! Crazy! I won’t came back never again.

31/01/2026: Errol (the security man.. sorry if i spelled his name wrong) is the finest and kindest gentlemen that ever existed. idk how much you pay him, but pay him more

17/12/2025: It's a bit dull and boring waiting around for the food, most other chippers have a bit of craic , but the food is decent , chips are great

16/12/2025: All the remorse but sadly little of the joy from a bag of chips and onion rings. Nice staff and very clean and not expensive Probably got them at a bad time without the chip turnover so not as nice as fresh ones

03/12/2025: Great place with everything you need, the sale assistants and deli are very polite and they help you with whatever you need. They have barista with all the coffees you need and deli food so good. Definately a place with outstanding costumer service.

15/11/2025: Superb range of goods for a relatively small place

23/09/2025: Great coffee and very friendly service. They were also the only coffee place open super early which worked out great for us.

13/09/2025: Grab a coffee for the mother Saturday morning Customer service was amazing There was a young lady serving and she was out standing. A ray of sunshine

09/11/2025: Ordered a family bucket 4 people couldn’t even finsh it amazing taste and huge portion definitely great value for money will be back again

20/10/2025: Amazing food big portions every dish is amazing 😋 staff really nice Best in waterford highly recommend 👌

31/10/2025: We ordered the original doner. My friend didn't like the taste. Another friend actually said it was a pretty good place, so if you don't like lamb or beef like the Turkish ones, where they have minced meat sticks or something like that, you're better off trying other flavors.

26/10/2025: I ordered food for collection and the girl said yes about 15 minutes. When I got there in 15 minutes they kept serving people in front of me. I told the woman behind the counter I ordered my food for collection 15 minutes ago is my food not ready for me to collect? They said they had to serve the people who were there before me first and that is skipping the queue.. I said no that is a collection service and not skipping the queue. I told them that everywhere else offers this service and it is not seen as skipping the queue anywhere else. They said they half cook it as they don't want it to get cold if ppl take too long to collect, but it was very clear to me that they hadn't started cooking at all. This is not a collection service and not very nice to be accused of trying to skip the queue when they never told me they didn't do collection when I called up and asked for that service. It's a pity cause I ike the food but the ordering service is too long so will avoid from now on.

18/03/2026: Good fish n chips friendly staff

15/03/2026: Great takeaway. Always good service.
