Globe Restaurant
Cork
07/06/2025: Overpriced, undercooked food. Staff not accommodating to multiple guest requests.
04/05/2025: Tried to eat there last night and it was PACKED!
Had my dinner there tonight so…upon entering I was accommodated at a table that was reserved; yes I was informed it was reserve for 2 hrs later. Fair as I was alone so it wasn’t an issue.
The staff were exceptional! So kind and considerate. My meal came SO fast & thank goodness for that because I was starving.
My salad was fresh and tasty! Nice chunks of avocado too.
My chicken supreme was SO SO GOOD! I normally don’t eat cauliflower so I gave it a taste tonight and ended up eating it. That goes to show on how well prepared everything was right down to the cauliflower.
Highly recommend when in Cork!

Milano
Cork
08/03/2026: Went there for dinner, the lasagne didn't have much meat so it was only ok and for the chicken ceasar salad they didn't warm up the meat.
Staff and atmosphere were good.
02/03/2026: Needs to up its game badly, the one in the city centre is grand but this is a disaster, was dissapointed

McGettigan's Cookhouse & Bar
Cork
23/12/2025: What you see in photo below was described on menu as “Homemade Pavlova”.
It was served as a tower, with half a scoop of ice cream in the middle of the two cases. One strawberry, cut in small wedges was the total amount of berries!!!
Note: the fresh cream was requested after it was served to make it somewhat appetising but still very dry.
Service very slow and it wasn’t very busy on the night.
Starters were extremely poor and not reflecting the price.
The mains could have been better.

O'Reilly's Fish & Chips
Cork
08/11/2025: Decided to try here for a change (too lazy to drive) as we normally get Dennys, which is only ever top class in both service and quality. Ordered the food at 6PM and it arrives at 8.40PM.. Tried ringing multiple times after an hour and a half only to be hung up. Won't be trying again
08/11/2025: Still waiting 2 hours for a delivery (that now says complete online) but no sign of food, tried ringing and seem to also be hanging up the phone.

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,

MKT Burger
Cork
12/12/2025: Food was good. Genuinely good smash Burger, nice chips too. Shame about the price. I hadn't been in a while and they raised the prices. €19 for a bacon cheese burger meal + dip is very steep. Probably won't to back for that reason alone.
Also it took 40 minutes. It varies a lot. Bear that in mind.
16/09/2025: Very mediocre burger, patties dripping in oil. Didn't feel well after eating it. Chips were alright. The size of a burger tho, quite pathetic. For a place that does only burgers, I expected sth better, while I'd rather go to Burger King next time and get 2 small burgers except one for this price.

Apache Pizza
Cork
13/10/2025: I have been getting Apache (Burgerhut Hollyhill) for a good few years. When the food is good, it's really enjoyable. But the food isn't always good (particularly the chips), and as a consequence, I feel the need, to write a review, in the hope, it will encourage Apache, to make some improvements. When ordering chips from Apache, staff will often serve you chips, that have been lying in the tray, for God only knows how long, mixed in with some freshly cooked chips.. Can I ask Apache management, why serve customers, old cooked chips, mixed in with fresh cooked chips..???? Its a very mean act, and I have to throw these chips in the bin, as they are hard & horrible. Why mix old, hard, precooked chips, that have been lying in the tray, with fresh cooked chips, and then serve them to a customer..?? Customers, should only be served, FRESHLY COOKED CHIPS..!! Can I ask Apache management, why you don't automatically serve your pizza's box's, in a paper bag..? If a customer orders a pizza, they may have to walk for 15 or 20 minutes, to get home. Carrying the pizza box, with no bag, means the Pizza, will lose a lot of heat, and the pizza can be cold, when the customer gets home. Also why don't you automatically serve the donor box, and chicken spice box, in a paper bag..? Again, these food boxes, are cold, by the time a customer walks home. Also the donor & chicken spice box, can leak sauce, which can destroy a car seat (if the customer is driving home) The stout, middle aged, short haired lady, that works in Apache, gets a bad pain, if a customer asks for a bag, to put a pizza box in, or donor/chicken spice box into.. Can I ask Apache management, to please supply, proper fitting, paper bags, and to offer them to customers, who are being served food, served in a box. Its really frustrating, having to continuously ask staff, for a proper fitting paper bag, to carry pizzas and spice boxes home in. I must say, most of the staff, are very obliging, when you ask them for a bag, with the exception, of the stout, middle aged, short haired lady, who always seems, to always have an issue, and an excuse, when a customer asks for a bag. If Apache, could introduce a policy, of not serving old, precooked chips to customers, and sort out the issue of supplying customers, with proper fitting, brown paper bags, to customers ordering food in boxes, (Particularly the issue, the stout, middle aged, short haired lady has, of placing food boxes into a paper bag) I will come back and give an up to date review.
Kind Regards,
John

Wilton Pub & Restaurant
Cork
04/01/2026: Very good quality. Order and collection is on time. But, being a takeaway, there is no soace to sit inside.
21/11/2025: Waited 1 and a half hours for a pizza. When I came they said they hadn't received the order, I ordered again and waited an hour they wouldn't even look in my direction and other customers were the same there was 4 people left while I was waiting because they hadn't even been asked what they wanted for 30 min. They told me it was coming out of the oven a few times the last time I got ones attention guess what he said? "1 min sir it's just coming out of the oven" I said that's what you told me 30 min ago and left. 20 min after they ring to say sorry about the delay can you come get your food? 2 hours later my 1 pizza is ready. Disgraceful manor of there staff and cannot register a complaint with four star it's a joke of a company. 0 stars

YAMA Asian street food
Cork
30/11/2025: We got €50 food delivered from here tonight. It was genuinely awful. Like truly inedible. The breast of chicken curry was tasteless and paste like with "chicken" with a spongey, disgusting texture. Salt N Pepper chicken was like pork scratchings. Chicken Chow Fan was vile. Slimy and just grim. Thai basil stir fry was terrible.
The chips and boiled rice were acceptable.
