The best restaurants

20/04/2025: Fantastic pizza, very nice staff.

11/04/2025: Unfortunately I would not recommend this time but will give it another go as I have had pizza from here before and it is better than what I bought today. Bought chips that were anything but fresh; they seem to have been recooked over and over. Also bought a crostini and an arancini and I'm sad to say neither were good. Lovely staff though.

28/10/2024: Used to be good. It's hit n miss now. Delivery takes ages.

27/03/2025: McDonald’s is one of the most well-known fast-food chains in the world, offering affordable meals, quick service, and a menu that appeals to all ages. Whether you’re craving a Big Mac, crispy fries, or a refreshing milkshake, McDonald’s has something for everyone. I recently visited a McDonald’s location to evaluate the food quality, service, cleanliness, and overall experience. Here’s my detailed review. Ambiance & Cleanliness Upon entering McDonald’s, I was greeted with a clean and modern environment. The restaurant was well-lit, and the seating area was spacious with a mix of booths, tables, and high-top counters. The self-service kiosks made ordering easy, reducing wait times. The cleanliness of the restaurant was impressive, with staff regularly wiping down tables and emptying trash bins. However, during peak hours, some tables had leftover trays, and the floor became slightly messy near the drink station. The restrooms were well-maintained, stocked with soap and paper towels, which is always a plus. Food Quality & Menu Variety McDonald’s menu offers a mix of classic favorites and new additions. I ordered a Big Mac, medium fries, and a Coca-Cola. The Big Mac was well-prepared, with two beef patties, fresh lettuce, pickles, onions, cheese, and the signature sauce. It tasted just as expected—savory, slightly tangy, and satisfying. The fries were served hot, crispy, and perfectly salted, making them one of the best fast-food fries available. McDonald’s fries are always a highlight, offering a great balance of crunch and fluffiness. My drink was refreshing, as McDonald’s fountain sodas often have a better taste due to their unique syrup-to-carbonation ratio. For dessert, I tried the Oreo McFlurry, a creamy vanilla soft-serve mixed with crushed Oreo cookies. The texture was smooth, and the cookies added a delicious crunch, making it a perfect sweet treat. Service & Speed McDonald’s is known for its fast service, and my visit was no exception. I placed my order at the self-service kiosk and received my food within five minutes. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring that my order was accurate. During busy hours, the service can slow down, especially in the drive-thru, where long lines sometimes cause delays. However, McDonald’s generally manages high traffic well by keeping multiple registers open and optimizing the drive-thru process. Pricing & Value for Money McDonald’s remains one of the most affordable fast-food options. The Value Meals and Dollar Menu (or equivalent) offer great deals, making it budget-friendly. While prices have increased slightly over the years, McDonald’s still provides good portions and quality for the price. Final Verdict Overall, McDonald’s continues to deliver a reliable and satisfying fast-food experience. The food is consistent, the service is quick, and the prices are reasonable. Whether you need a quick bite or a full meal, McDonald’s is always a solid choice. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 Stars) Would I return? Absolutely!

15/03/2025: I was at McDonald's in the morning and while waiting for my food, I saw a female employee grabbing food with her bare hands without gloves and preparing it for further processing. Meanwhile, she threw something into the scythe and touched the top of the scythe and continued without washing her hands. When I asked if it was okay for her to hold the food she was preparing for further processing with her hands, I was told that it was in accordance with McDonald's regulations. Can someone explain to me what this regulation is about handling food with hands without gloves for further processing??? What kind of hygiene is that??? The first time I was here a few months ago, the floor was not swept - I understand that customers can make a mess, so I thought it was good that there were a lot of children there then. However, this is unacceptable in terms of hygiene.

21/11/2024: Never coming here again. Ordered coffee and plain croissant and was told it would cost 7.80 euros! Croissant didn't even look fresh so I just had the coffee. When I mentioned it was expensive I was told it's because of the VAT. I've never paid that amount anywhere else in Midleton. Avoid at all costs!!!!

17/11/2024: Crazy expensive for very bland food.

30/12/2024: Quality is missing and the prices are high

07/04/2025: I really like the winter bowl. Awesome food and good customer service. The staff is really nice and helpful.

21/03/2025: Anytime I am here everything is always perfect and the way I would like it. The staffs efforts to ensure that everything is clean is amazing. Their salads, rice bowls and açai menu is fantastic and beautifully presented in the shops front. The staffs efforts to ensure that all HACCAP guide lines are followed is superb. I will definitely recommend as the food, and staff is always on point. The price range is good too and quite affordable for a healthy menu selection.

01/04/2025: Disgusting and disgraceful pain in my jaws from chewing the food and the curry was made from dirty dishwater

12/03/2025: Food was good. Just ordered wrong meal

08/02/2025: Nothing short of disgusting. One measly chicken goujon on my wrap accompanied by what I’d say is a whom head of lettuce and the butts of a tomatoe. Chips were rock hard and half a portion. Wouldn’t feed it to a dog

16/11/2024: I was here today. I have never received such terrible service. The older lady taking our order was so rude to us. Our food order was wrong and the food was cold. When we asked to split the bill , she processed to throw her hands in the air and give out. It was so disrespectful we just paid and left. Always used to come here and loved the food. Place has gone down hill . Very disappointed to be treated like this. I will not be returning.

19/10/2024: Oct 2024. Closed again. Jan 2023- Now closed till Easter. Who took this over to close it when needed most??. Headed for breakfast and to walk on the beach. Coffee machine in the adjacent shop. Different management. Great location for food service. What a turnover. :) this is right on the beach and the views are spectacular. Across to rossbeigh and down the dingle peninsula.

20/09/2024: Was there on a Friday at 1 pm....not open. So I really can't say how it is.

05/12/2024: Decent burger and chips. Very satisfying curry dip!

13/11/2024: Food in this place is OK the biggest problem is the staff thay are forget full and if busy you will always get the wrong order

28/02/2025: I’ve never ever been a patron of Molly’s as most people know it has the reputation of being a bar that straight 15 year olds go to but I was actually so pleasantly surprised by my experience. They did an amazing job hosting a drag show! Bouncers were lovely and friendly, had loads of deals for students with drinks and kept us completely separated from the regular bar, and the bartenders upstairs were absolute gems, amazing job from all of the staff— I never ever thought I’d be saying this but I would 100% recommend! Please host more drag shows, Molly’s!

27/02/2025: The world would be better off if this place simply ceased to exist

12/03/2025: Food used to be fresh, now its just reheated and burnt every time I order. Definitely better options in the area

21/01/2025: the most expensive Chinese in Skerries and the food is not that great

20/01/2025: It is a quick, fast and good coffee. They only have cash or revolut aspect to improve.

30/12/2024: I thought the coffee was really bad

21/09/2024: Did exactly what it said on the tin. Food was good. The lads working there seemed sound.

20/05/2024: Must be the worst takeaway I've ever experienced

08/04/2025: Been to the shop today had a Frapucino super delicious. Welcoming atmosphere, the staff are the best especially the tall guy with glasses who made my drink was the best. Keep the rhythm.

07/04/2025: Very rude service... it seems that the employees don't really like their job.
