The best restaurants in Cork city council

27/06/2025: Very unprofessional, discriminatory and rude.

16/06/2025: I received the delivery from this store. It was not the first time I ordered. This time I received terrible food. The duck was bad and without sauce at all.. The soup was disgusting.. There was a lot of vinegar and it tasted like a rotten lemon. We called, talked about the problem.. We were offered a discount of 5 euros for the next order. We replied that there would be no next order.. And that we will bring this food and return it to them.. We were told that the cook has been working there for 30 years, and that all the food is prepared at once and according to one recipe.. We brought the food back, we got a refund for the food, but they didn't get it back for the delivery.. The evening is ruined, there are hungry 🤷‍♀️

11/10/2025: Got a Spice Bag, Chicken Balls and a Curry sauce. While the food did taste ok the quantities were on the small side. We counted 7 pieces of chicken in the spice bag and the 5 Chicken balls were also on the small side, probably 60-70% of the usual size of a Chicken ball. Curry sauce was also in a smaller size cup. Spice bag was €10.50, probably the most expensive price I have paid for a spice bag so was disappointing to see they skimp on portion size. Prices should be cheaper to reflect the smaller portions as it lack any real value for money.

19/07/2025: Really poor, overpriced, 4 pieces of overcooked chicken in flavourless spice bag.

15/10/2025: I literally love their kebabs... The best kebab in Cork City... Live long and prosper...

02/09/2025: The kebab was the sloppiest thing where you couldnt pick it up or eat it . The smallest amount of salad was placed in it and the lettuce just went slimely under the meat. There was so much sauce I thought it was melted cheese at first. Portion size small .Standards and food have massively dropped .

30/06/2025: Good food. Affordable prices. Just need ask the lads for sauce as they don't supply.

24/10/2025: Good food. Lovely girls. Vat reducted in budget. Result upped price of fish supper by 1.20 euro?

23/10/2025: Food was appalling covered in GREASE the onion rings were soggy not even cooked ,brest in a bun was on eatable so much sauce burger was AGAIN SOGGY over so much Sauce!!! Cheese and onion pies SOGGY and GREASY could have been cooked longer my mouth after 3 bites had to spit it out mouth was sour from the salt and grease....wont be going back FIRST and last TIME il ever eat out of there

30/09/2025: I was going to dunnes hoping to grab a coffee from the coffee machine within dunnes and have in cafe only to be told rather rudely I can’t be in there even though I have a cafe sol coffee same blond woman then went to the door and refused entry to anyone not buying from the cafe area although people across from me were doing the same and nothing was said very dissatisfied in this particular staff member located near Dinos dunnes

06/08/2025: Absolutely love this cafe! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of cozy seating and bright natural light. My cappuccino was smooth, rich, and beautifully presented by Martyna and the banana bread is always fresh and delicious. The baristas here always greet you with a warm smile and you can tell they care about every customer that walks in. It’s rare to find a place with coffee this good and the best staff behind it all!

29/09/2025: Got a Breast In A Bun from Barrack Street and it was really poor quality Chicken, it was similar to the cheap processed Chicken you get in a hot Chicken roll from a Deli.

27/09/2025: I love O’Reilly’s! But my recent order last night with pals was very disappointing. I’m always appreciative of their quality but not sure if it was a blip or new staff in training but the fish and chips - fish was bready.. almost soggy. No crisp at all. And not sure if its a branch price difference but the hake and chips - you’ve to pay extra for dip and peas?.. the one near kingsley or bandon they didn’t charge. It was just a bit surprising as well to see the other poor reviews. Hope they turnaround!

10/10/2025: Nice feed! Wedges were a bit soggy stick to the meat!

10/10/2025: Food nothing special — I don’t know where they’re from, but here in Ireland, we usually say thank you when someone buys something from us. It’s called manners.

07/09/2025: I had a strawberry milkshake, It was disgusting, too much milk no strawberry flavour at all, Very liquidity, never going there again The staff were fairly stressed out, Not a great atmosphere there , €10 for two cold drinks, Ridiculous!

07/09/2025: Don’t know difference between latte and cappuccino

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!

23/09/2025: Dinos douglas has gone to the bin! Ever since the Irish girl Sarah left the chipper, the food quality has been horrendous. The asian lady working at the store makes the worst food, it’s definitely not fresh and you could just tell that the fish, chicken and dips are stale. The quality that dinos has in other stores like Grange and Turners cross is nowhere near compared to the likes of the Douglas store. The food used to be nice but ever since the asian lady has been making the food, it has been unhygienic, dirty and will definitely give someone food poisoning. Douglas dinos is really really awful now and should be avoided at all costs.

29/07/2025: Whoever is in the douglas dinos does not answer the phone

30/08/2025: Fried are really good and vegan chilli mayo was great as well

27/06/2025: Food with lots of pepper and no taste, coarse employees. I don't recommend it!

12/10/2025: asked for cheese burger with just ketchup- just got a hamburger with ketchup. if i didn’t want cheese why would i ask for a cheese burger ???didnt get my drink either and made me pay again for one.

29/08/2025: The food was mediocre for the price, but really good. I can't really recommend the fries, but the burgers were quite good. I can't say anything about the pizzas.

12/11/2025: Have let the chips go to the dog ,needs way longer in the fryer , good pricing , poor products double cheeseburger is double patty not patty and extra bun to make look bigger

13/09/2025: avoid avoid. it is getting worse by the week. food either under cooked, over cooked or just getting orders wrong. big turnover staff lately. know one seems to know what they are doing, or who is in charge.

24/08/2025: Fabulous chinese but the beef was horrific inedible

05/07/2025: I stumbled upon Curry House last week, and I’m so glad I did! The food is absolutely amazing. The onion rings were crispy and golden, and the curry sauce on the chicken skewers was rich, nutty, and full of flavor. You can tell everything is freshly cooked. Definitely my new go-to for a treat!
