Dino's
Cork
31/10/2025: I get fish and chips here and they are always very nice
I got very over cooked Haddock with batter that I could not chew. I give it to the dogs.
I got an extra few bags of chips with toppings that did not look burnt but no one could finish them as they were very poor. Hopefully this is resolved. The staff are very nice in there!
20/10/2025: Just bought a brat in a bun meal and the chips had the texture of a bag of toenails. You need to throw out the chips off they’ve been under the heat lamp for a while guys. Burger was ok, too much bread not enough breast. Disappointing

Country Grill Chicken
Cork
27/02/2026: Amazing chicken , friendly staff , ill be back !
22/02/2026: Hello, I have always been very satisfied with your chicken. I appreciate that you do things like grilling it outdoors. However, the last two Sundays in Carrigaline, I purchased chicken and it was not cooked properly; the bone was still red with blood. I wanted to bring this to your attention.

Cool Beans Coffee
Cork
30/08/2025: Very good coffee shop and very good for a morning stop for breakfast and to drink a quality coffee. I really liked the coffee. I'm a fan of good coffee and I know what good coffee and bad coffee are, and here you have quality.
Congratulations on transforming this place into a very high-quality coffee shop, above average, despite the competition not liking it and trying to say otherwise, but time is the best thing to put to the test.
I highly recommend it; you won't leave here unsatisfied.
06/06/2025: Cafe is small and seating cramped, decor a bit depressing. Coffee was OK though the cappuccino was very milky . There are better coffee shops around for the same price.

Gloria Jean's Coffees Castle St
Cork
24/12/2025: The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming, perfect for chilling with a friend or getting a bit of work done. Staff are friendly and efficient too. Definitely a solid choice for coffee in Cork! ☕😊
24/11/2025: Staff were very friendly but €4.95 for a flat white is INSANE. Although the barista did their job perfectly, the coffee itself was no better than something out of one of centra’s machines. How does one justify charging €4.95 for THAT is absolutely absurd. Will never be returning and would definitely not recommend

Ramen
Cork
03/12/2025: A tasty bit of food, cooked fresh n well, nice greeting n service. We've been on 2 occasions and would recommend it.
06/11/2025: I got beef Rendang from this place, and I could believe my eyes, it was basically like Thai curry or something. It wasn't beef Rendang at all! Very misleading and just tastes sweet and oily. No flavour whatsoever. Please don't put up items on the menu that you have no idea how to make.

The Laurels Restaurant
Cork
07/09/2025: Really really disappointing place in general. The interior was quite dingy and stuffy. The place looks quite careless thrown together with random stuff on the walls and a pool table that it is not in use.
A group and I tried to watch an Irish soccer game there one night. The commentary was 5 seconds behind the visuals and one of the screens was glitching. The women insisted everyone at our table bought something when actually 4 out of 5 of us bought something. She was quite rude, blunt and ill mannered. It really made us feel uncomfortable, unwanted and unappreciated. Out of the 100s of great pubs in Cork, this is definitely one of the to avoid.
18/07/2025: Though I've never been a customer of this bar. The auld one who runs the bar needs to realise that the bar does not own the parking space outside the bar and by placing kegs outside the premises, does not mean that the general public cannot park there. The woman who works there shouting abuse at me last week which was totally uncalled for.

Khor Asian&Chinese Cuisine
Cork
02/02/2026: They do an excellent take away service.
11/01/2026: We love Khor. Great value for money and the food is always delicious. The satay sauce, crispy shredded chicken, chicken balls, pad thai and gyozas are some of our favourites. The staff are lovely as well.

Poké Poké
Cork
02/04/2025: The lads have no clue what’s going on they’re trying their best , but Sebastian is taking way too long with my order.
31/03/2025: I wasn't very happy because when I ordered I paid extra for meat.I got two corners of prons for €4 I will never go to you, they are robbing you of your food. I'm not alone, my friend, you want to complain about not enough meat?

Krispy Kreme Cork
Cork
20/12/2025: Card only is ridiculous
The little blond on 20th dec at 11 am is most miserable person ever
03/12/2025: The kids love coming into the shop, had to pop in after a bit of shopping and the workers were so accommodating. Alex was very helpful explaining the doughnuts in detail to me as I had no clue, he was just amazing couldn't have been more helpful really made the trip in worth it. He was an absolute delight to have a chat with. Will definitely go in again.

McDonald's
Cork
17/03/2026: Every time I order takeaway, my order is incorrect. Items are missing, products are changed without asking, and I always receive less than what I ordered. For example, I ordered 6 nuggets and they sent me 3 cold mozzarella sticks. And I had to wait 3 hours for my order.
16/03/2026: We stopped by this McDonald's late at night/early morning for breakfast and had a great experience. Despite the hour, the environment was clean and quiet, making it a very comfortable spot to sit down.
The caffe latte and coffee were delicious, and the donuts were a real treat—fresh and tasty. It’s definitely a reliable go-to spot on Patrick Street if you're looking for quality and a calm atmosphere in the heart of the city at night.
Highly recommended!

All was perfect!
Thank you so much, Sean for coordinating this large order, and to the Domino's Team who made our day a memorable day.

Ramen
Cork
16/02/2026: We entered the venue around 8:48 PM, while the closing time was listed as 9:00 PM. Even though we were allowed inside, we were told that food service was no longer available.
Even if there were only 10–15 minutes left before closing, takeaway service could still have been offered. The closing time was not clearly defined (last order time vs. door closing time), which was disappointing as a customer.
Staff communication could have been clearer. It would be much better for customers if the last order time was clearly stated.
27/12/2025: Honestly? I'm amazed, I did not think that it's possible to make Pad Thai taste bland...
3x different dishes all tasted the same or to be more specific they tasted like nothing...

Sketch
Cork
21/12/2025: Came here for a family gathering, waiting staff good, attentive. Party of six, my order didn’t appear for 15-20 minutes after the other five orders. For me this is poor form and while they did apologise there wasn’t an explanation given. The food itself is fine it’s a safe menu but the seasoning is limited to salt and pepper and it was very much a soft texture diet lacking in much variety of texture. Prawns limp and most definitely over cooked.
21/12/2025: No joy with booking online so took a chance as a walk in..they found us a table no problem we just had soup and sandwich..very tasty,our server brilliant..maybe French chap..very enjoyable ❤️
