12/05/2026: Wonderful property with amazing staff and the hotel was really nice and clean #nocomplaints

04/05/2026: The venue was gorgeous and had an easy to navigate website. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed, eg kettle/tea, iron, hairdryer. The beds were too soft for 2 of my colleagues, so they didn’t sleep well at all, but I was fine. The staff were incredibly rude at check in and check out. Considering how much we paid for the room, I expected better customer service. We didn’t even get a smile at check in. The girl was rude, didn’t speak to me while processing my payment (not asking me to choose GBP or EU using her words, she just shoved the card reader in my face, even though I asked for clarification). Upon making the reservation, I notified the hotel that we would have a very late check in and even gave them an estimated time of arrival. The hotel called me the day before I left to confirm my reservation, so I clarified my late check in and assured them I’d be there before “late check in” started. As promised, I was well within my time frame, but received another phone call from the front desk during travel asking where I was and if I was going to be any longer. I was so confused, taken aback and really insulted. When we arrived, she didn’t apologies for her eagerness (which I can only assume was because she just wanted to go home, greet us warmly or even make me feel like we were welcome at all.

29/10/2025: Great breakfast. Food is well prepared. Staff are very attentive and polite. Couldn’t ask for more. It’s why I go back!!

23/10/2025: Had such a great experience here today. Went in with my friend and we didn’t have much time & the waiter was THE BEST. We were only waiting 5 mins for a table and he served us immediately and got our coffee and food for us SUPER quick. He told us he was “determined that we make our lecture”. Great service! We meant to ask his name but we forgot! Great staff 👏

02/05/2026: Delicious food and great service! The tiger prawns starter and the Nepalese lamb shank is a MUST try! Super impressive!

20/04/2026: Hari at Coriander Restaurant in Ballincollig consistently delivers excellent service with professionalism and attention to detail. He creates a welcoming atmosphere and ensures everything runs smoothly, making each visit enjoyable. His commitment to high standards and customer satisfaction is clearly evident.

12/05/2026: Food is good for a fastfood, tenders are good, but the best thing in this place is the staff, they are so nice and always smilling, they deserve a raise !!

17/04/2026: I’ve been going to Hillbillies for more than 40 years. I have always thought it was best value for money and the food is delicious. It was our family favourite takeaway. Twice in the last few months we have got home to potions that were halved in size. The curry sauce halved and coleslaw halved in size. When we got home the half pot were not even full they were 3quarters full. The price is so expensive for the sauces and for the sizes they are. We got food tonight and paid over €30.00 for it. That’s no problem when we thought we knew what we were getting and to us it’s worth it. Not anymore! There was about 10 chips in a dinner box. The taco chips were half a box and it’s a smaller box now. Then we looked and there was not much meat either in the taco fries. It was so disappointing for a place we always loved to treat ourselves to. The quality is definitely not there now. We find it hard enough to get into the premises and it is normally worth making the trip through the disaster that is Mc Curtain street road works and no where to park. To come home to half potions was not something we were looking forward to. I was trying to ring to complain and got through to what sounded like a fax machine. So I had to write this instead. I was so annoyed. I was wondering do others find this as well. Update on this matter Hillbilly’s have improved since this review and now the sauces are back to the normal size and portions sizes are better. Still no parking and it is hard to get into the shop. A shop outside the city centre would help majority of people who aren’t able to get into the shop. Blackpool or Mayfield, Ballyvolane or Glanmire Update 16/04/2026 We called into get an early dinner today and we got the most amazing meal. It was piping hot and so fresh. I enjoyed my food so much. The whole meal was worth the money. The quality of the food and the service was of a very high standard. The guy who served us was so pleasant and very professional at his job. I bought some more food for my son, his girlfriend and my mam when leaving and they enjoyed their food also. Thank you for taking my review and working on what I suggested. I believe a great business does this very approach. Keep up the great work you do. We will be back.

01/07/2025: The stuff is awesome, the burgers and fries are perfect.

13/06/2025: Delicious and fresh food...Friendly staff.WELL DONE!!!

24/12/2025: Awesome tacos and great drinks at Black Dog Tacos! One of the few places in town where you can get really good quality tacos — fresh, flavorful, and packed with tasty ingredients. The drinks are just as good, with a nice selection that goes perfectly with the food. The vibe is fun and relaxed, and the staff are welcoming. Definitely a go-to spot if you’re craving tacos and a great drink in Cork! 🌮🍹

23/12/2025: Amazing food and incredible music.

12/05/2026: Chicken club is amazing, lovely atmosphere and great staff. Such a gem

21/03/2026: Fabulous cafe. Well worth a trip. Quiet corner in Cork. Perfect for a coffee for people watching!

03/02/2026: There are some vacancies. The hot chocolate and cappuccino are good quality. The espresso is bitter, perhaps over-roasted. Overall, it's a good place to relax and grab a bite. Prices are average for the area.

02/02/2026: We ordered four different sandwiches and they were all so delicious. The Chai Latte and Cappuccino were great too. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans 😇
