The best restaurants in Cork city council

29/08/2026: This is going to be my Google review so disappointing we go here every now and again as a treat staff we’re so rude cracking her knuckles as she served us Absolutely shocking experience. We ordered all of our food together, yet it came out in different stages, leaving some of us eating while others were still sitting there waiting. By the time we eventually had everything, half of the food was cold. The chips were like rocks — hard, dry and practically inedible. The onion rings were cold and burnt, and as for the chicken, the photos speak for themselves. After opening it up and seeing what we were served, we certainly weren’t going to eat it. When an entire order is placed together, it’s reasonable to expect the meals to arrive together, hot and properly cooked. Instead, we paid good money for food that was cold, overcooked and extremely disappointing. Most of it was left behind. A complete waste of money and without a doubt one of the worst meals we’ve been served. Definitely won’t be returning to Dinos Ballincollig

25/08/2026: Overall a good shop and I always have a good experience. I come here often and I get the impression that they are understaffed, especially when it’s busy. The food is always nice

02/10/2026: Good coffee and portion size! The baristas sean and sabrina are really nice and chatty!

08/08/2026: Very tasty, but unfortunately it was quite dry. It would be much better with some mayonnaise or another sauce.

03/09/2026: Served a lemon tart on top of a cremebrule. Kind of ruined both of them. Just became a soggy lemon tart with custard. Tasted good still.

27/06/2026: Got the chocolate cake for my son’s 18th Birthday. Cake was absolutely delicious. They took the order on the phone and followed up for details. On the day it was ready well before time to collect.

28/09/2026: I was served by a very friendly Brazilian woman, my food was very good and really well-prepared.

06/08/2026: Very nice but bit much sauce on the breast in a bun

18/09/2026: Their pannini keeps getting dearer and dearer honestly they should just make it its own meal deal at this point

29/07/2026: Quick service and the staff was nice and friendly. I asked for a iced tea and the lady was very patient telling me all the flavours and options available and I ordered a white chocolate and raspberry muffim. Delicious!! So gooooood I really recommend it!

24/09/2026: Best service ever, amazing food and the place is beautiful.

15/10/2026: Was an hour late didn’t answer phone when answered the phone didn’t reply to questions but only positive was delivery driver Ali was very nice and made up for bad experience

23/09/2026: Ordered from here and the driver did not show up. They then argued aggressively on the phone lying about delivery. Then they refused to refund the order. It took 3hrs, 3 phone calls, and €45 to receive nothing but anger and denial about their abysmal services. We then went to Dominoes instead and got better food, better service, and actually had our food within 20mins. Will never order from Apache again after this.

19/10/2026: Enjoyed it but busy had a wait for food

18/10/2026: Automation has slowed down service. Restaurant can be dirty. Food temp delivery slow. Food can be cold

25/09/2026: Ordered online , quick and easy food was made rapid time, nice and hot , manager in there sound bloke too

10/07/2026: Ordered multiple times never had an issue. This time woman on phone misunderstood what I was asking for and sent wrong order. Called to clarify and got told its what I asked for. Called again and requested refund as it isn't what I wanted. After talking in the background to someone and clearly hearing someone say "pain in the hole", she came back to the phone and told me they won't be refunding me and won't take it back as it'll just be thrown away. She was ratty and brash with everything she said and on the verge of arguing with me. Did some small checking up regarding consumer rights, called back a final time nice as pie still and apologising for this confusion all in all, but explaining that the responsibility is the resteraunt as they have multiple meal deals of the same price with the same ingredients and that's what lead to the confusion. Here I was basically told to f off. She was snapping down the phone telling me she doesn't care and its not their problem. Repeat customer. Always tipped. Always says please and thank you. One small misunderstanding by the woman taking orders and I'm treated like dirt. The food is good, but that good taste wears quickly when they send you the wrong thing and then treat you like scum for trying to work with them to fix the order. Dont support. No longer recommended. Genuinely treated horrible. 09/07/2026
