Holy Smoke
Cork
16/12/2025: Very disappointing outcome to this place. I had high hopes given the name & reviews..... But what it appears is that the place has been taken over, kept the name but taken all the smoked food off the menu. Rather than sample what is on the menu (what appears to be a basic attempt at smoked/ pit food..... Without the smoked/ pit food) I took my business elsewhere to avoid further disappointment.
08/08/2025: There was hair in my daughters ice cream.

Gallery Restaurant
Cork
13/01/2026: I’ve been here four times already, so I can definitely say it’s a great place, whether it’s for a cappuccino with a delicious scone or to try the best cake I’ve ever had, a white chocolate cake with caramel and honey.
It’s also a great option for a quick meal, like the chicken curry, which is tasty and good value for money.
And of course, I have to mention the girls at the counter, who are always attentive, friendly and very welcoming.
08/01/2026: Staff is always friendly. Food is ok, maybe a bit pricey for the portion sizes but it’s a shopping center at the end of the day.

Apache Pizza
Cork
06/12/2025: Chips were not cooked, hardly get a takeaway as its so expensive so very disappointed for the kids.
29/11/2025: Ordered from here for delivery. Took over an hour (I live a 5 minute drive away). Food was COLD. Driver wasn't very pleasant, he couldn't take the food from his delivery bag and hand it to me, instead just opened it and stood there whilst I took it out.

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

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.

Pa Johnson's
Cork
27/06/2025: I was very happy to see the old men perform. There is a lot of space inside to enjoy the wine and music!
23/04/2025: Very well known pub, I have been a few times for a couple pints of Murphy’s and I was delighted myself, is a pub with his own loyal customers and every week with live music I always remember this pub here in cork and looks like is a pub to be here for many years to come I hope so.

Orchid Palace
Cork
28/12/2025: Definitely no. Never again. This should just be a take-away if even that.
We were using the laundrette across the way so had some food while waiting. Medicore at best. Over priced too and I know prices are going up but this was ridiculous.
Toilet smells like damp/mould and toilet doors dont have locks. Lobby area into bathroom smells like cigarettes smoke. Bathroom bi nis covered in rust with the soap balancing on it. Like faulty towers.
Do not recommend
01/09/2025: Still chewing the beef 2 hours later and still half left

McDonald's
Cork
02/02/2026: Best Mcdonald's I've been to in Cork
31/01/2026: Staff here are always so polite and that's obviously filtered down from their managers and a sign of a good work place. Food is always consistently good here and it keeps up the McDonalds standards for fast food. Only complaint is it closes at 11pm but that's probably a licence thing around residential area I suppose.

McDonald's
Cork
16/01/2026: Don't tend to eat there only get a take away
14/01/2026: Perfect spot to stop at following a long night enjoying the nightlife around Cork. Usual swift food order, with some added entertainment courtesy of other guests' antics.
Noted an unusual number of security guards covering the front of the store, but they were great tbf - chatting to/cracking jokes with visitors, helping people & staff with various tasks etc.

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.

Ramen
Cork
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...
24/12/2025: Friendly staff and quick service

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

Weatherspoons
Cork
05/09/2025: Linen weaver JD Wetherspoon was such a nice place for food and free refills of Coffee. Very great place to sit with a soulmate and on my own in recent years. Such a sweet memory 💖 from 2016 to 2018. Hard to believe Linen Weaver is closed now, would wish they can reopen sometime in near future.
Good luck and Best wishes,
