O'Briens Sandwich Cafe
Cork
13/09/2025: Food is very nice and good sized portions but pricey. Recommending the slightly spiced chicken salad bowl ( which has a spiced yoghurt sauce) and the barnyard chicken toastie ( which has a BbQ mustard sauce). The fresh cream desserts are equally generous in size. It had a very airy open sit down area. They blend their own coffee as well.
03/09/2025: Stellar service from staff. On my own, feeding my baby and they went above and beyond. Owner really looked after me. You can see how by setting an example at the top - it trickles down. Everyone is fantastic. I’ll happily pay for that kind of service.

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.

O'Reilly's Fish & Chips
Cork
23/12/2025: Omg , food is so gross . I'd rather die of starvation than eat here again! Absolutely vile 🤢
🔴 Large Sign outside says Opened Christmas Day !! Very disrespectful to Irish people.
I believe you live in a country you should respect tradition.
( I miss Colin old owner )
12/12/2025: Normally a big fan, but tonight the two gentlemen behind the counter were terrible. Unfriendly, trying to charge the girls next to me for whole meals while they were each trying to order individual items.. Super slow. I just don't understand how I can be waiting 25!! Minutes for a wrap with 2 people on front of me.
Way below the usual standard...
Edit: After getting home and eating the food it was also not as nice as previous visits.. Time spent Vs Quality.. Not coming back. Ever.

Ocean house chinese
Cork
26/10/2025: Quite possibly the worst spice bag I've ever had. No veg in it. Just chips and rock hard shredded chicken. The spice was literally just a powder mix thrown in with the chicken a chips. Terrible quality.

Ridiculous!

The Grill Restaurant
Cork
25/10/2025: 12 Euro for a toasty made from the cheapest of the cheap packet of ham and even cheaper brown bread. Don't eat here. It's a rip off. Staff are nice though.

Brendans Burritos
Cork
20/07/2025: Loved our visit to Brendan's Burritos & The Black Market with a group from our summer camp. Everyone had a great time and loved the atmosphere/ venue. Fantastic service from the Burritos Staff, especially looking after a big hungry group. Nachos and Quesadillas were fab and great for sharing. So fresh & tasty! And then the best surprise of all.... Amazing Milkshakes for dessert. Will be back!!
19/07/2025: Lovely staff but food was disappointing. No veg, sauces were bland, meat was over cooked. Tucos is the standard.

Dragon Palace
Cork
15/11/2025: Food is lovely but I placed an order 1 hour & 40 mins, still hasn't being delivered. By the time it comes it'll more than likely be freezing. Usually service is good but last few deliveries I've had has being below par. An hour is OK to wait but this is taking the peeeeaaaas
19/09/2025: food was fabulous as always 10/10 beautiful curry, and lovely chips, best chineese food around, highly recommend, also the spare ribs in peeking sauce and the salt chilli duck is out of this world.

Subway
Cork
21/12/2025: I work across in the shopping centre and visit this branch regularly. I made an online order that I was a little bit confused with as the app is a bit restricted in terms of selection, however to my luck, Veronica in store was extremely patient and helpful and helped me with my order. Couldn’t recommend her and this branch enough !!!
12/09/2025: I forgot to take pics. It’s very convenient.

The Fry Traditional Fish & Chip Shop
Cork
02/08/2025: The fry, one of the very few traditional chip shops left in Cork, well priced, beautiful food, phone in orders available, and they accept credit cards
23/07/2025: I had haddock and it was not pinboned and when I was eating scales were coming directly in my mouth. It was not descaled as well and the quantity was not enough. Very bad experience with haddock. 1/4 and 1/2 pounders are nice.

Four Star Pizza Douglas
Cork
24/08/2025: Customer service is a disgrace told to go order somewhere else because a trainee mixed up the order. Asked could i get chicken and large pizza combo at the start of the call which i was told yes i could. Then told it wasn't possible so had to speak to someone else who didn't want to listen to what i had to say and told me go order elsewhere.
24/08/2025: customer service is absolutely shocking.

Wylam Chinese Restaurant
Cork
01/12/2025: I’ve never left a google review before but the chicken in this place was so bad I feel obligated to warn anybody else who tries ordering from here to Stay Away. I got the ginger and spring onion chicken and it was genuinely inedible and cost nearly 13 quid.
27/09/2025: Went there last night. We enjoyed the food but I think I got food poisoning, as that same night I woke up with severe tummy pain and afterwards I vomited non stop until I’ve nothing to vomit anymore. Should I be contacting them to inform them of my ordeal?

La Calavera
Cork
07/09/2025: Got the best taco fries here, lovely friendly gentlemen serving, good location and great price
20/08/2025: Meat is slightly underseasoned and slightly too dry. Portions are decent. The overall meal is very dry because there is a lack of sauce, even though I had sour cream and salsa in it. There is not many flavours really as the balance between components is lacking. Ingredients however seem to be off decent quality.
