The best restaurants in Cork city council

22/11/2025: Used to like popping in when in Cork City but found the waitress unfriendly atmosphere just unwelcoming not a place i want to stay in and enjoy lunch so left without ordering.

14/11/2025: Had lunch in here today, the portions were very small for the price - much better value to be had in other cafes in the city. The staff were rude, and it felt as if we were inconveniencing them by being there. Would not recommend.

08/01/2026: Is the chicken halal? It’s not stated anywhere and apparently it is??!!! Il remove or update my comment based on the response!

31/10/2025: Absolutely delicious road side chicken. Only regret i have is not ordering more!!

02/07/2025: This is our place to drink our coffee, we like they give us a card and we can get a free one occasionally. I don't understand why they can't let us have a cold coffee for free like they do with the hot coffees. Also they should ask if we are drinking in there or to take out. We get plastic recipients when we are staying in the place, it should be nice to have the right one when we are in the area.

05/07/2025: Nice casino but unfriendly doorman

02/06/2025: Absolutely phenomenal and friendly staff. Very appreciative of the cashier and manager. They more than took care of us when we made a mistake. Highly recommend.

21/12/2025: Ordered chicken combo, they didn't give me chicken piece or gravy as part of the meal.

02/12/2025: Hillbillies closed at 12? What absolute madness is this??

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.

19/12/2025: Attending regularly with an elderly friend. Today just took the biscuit,so to speak. €20 on absolutely Rubbish food. Tea and coffee just passable. Staff could not be more dismissive or unfriendly. The toasted sandwich was anemic,asking again to be toasted properly and i then needed a fairly good set of teeth. No sorry, no explanation, no please no thank you,and certainly no smile €20 is a lot of money to me,and as it was my turn to pay im absolutely fuming at the money i wasted on way below average toasted ham cheese and onion. For goodness sake ye really need to up your game. FURIOUS 😠

07/12/2025: I don't know how they are still open to be honest. Worst kebab I have ever eaten in Cork City (I love kebabs so I have tried pretty much all the kebabs shops in city centre). Chips went to the bin, they were very greasy like they're deep fried in old oil. €16 was way too expensive for what I got, never again. Plus staff at the till had a very rude manner and could barely get his point across with the little English he had (not that it seemed like he wanted to, too).

02/10/2025: Called in earlier on my lunch break mainly to get shelter from the rain. Sound guy suggested doner kebab meal for a tenner, it was lovely and chips and wrap were fresh out. To be honest interior didn’t look the best but the food and service definitely made up for it.

23/11/2025: Don’t care what others say the mega box has saved my life in multiple occasions, I would die for this place

03/11/2025: Great food, especially the mega box!! Spices are lovely and tasty, highly recommended 👌

30/11/2025: The food would be nice, but a strong old oil after-taste, more than once. For the premium price they charge, this needs to be fixed. Waiting area OK to wait through the rain.

06/11/2025: Best Chinese around always hits the spot

30/09/2025: Lovely staff in here, especially the man behind the counter most days! So refreshing to have such lovely customer service when popping in to get petrol etc. I hope their hard work is rewarded by maxol as they are a great face for their company.

26/05/2025: Friendly staff always , very kind , very helpful , however I really hope you do something about the entitled ignorant parents who block pumps and wait for their children in your forecourt , unbelievable they refused to move I hope you don't tolerate this

23/12/2025: Decent but star deducted for service & no salt/vinegar on chips

07/11/2025: genuinely most mid chips i have had. However they do give you a good portion of them.Not worth the price

16/01/2026: Food is good and great value. They sorted me out with something gluten free and I was not sick! EDIT: Unfortunately, the second time there were wheat noodles in the order and no offer of a refund or a replacement. So, revising from 5 to 2 stars

07/01/2026: Me and my girlfriend got delivery of a 4 in 1 and spice bag the spice bag chicken was incredibly dry the chips were basic and soggy overall a rip off for almost a tenner now the 4 in 1 don't get me started it was appalling the chicken was probably the worst I've ever had they hope the curry sauce will cover that taste but it doesn't not to mention it had less flavour then water the chips taste like last years harvest of potatoes now the rice was definitely not grown in Asia probably the managers back garden I'd say if anyone sees this I beg you to not order from this disgraceful place they label a Chinese restaurant thanks for your willingness to read this good day.

11/12/2025: They have got some unique tasting food here,i like!

08/12/2025: Unfortunately, for a place called Soba house, this has to be the worst yakisoba I've ever had. It doesn't have any actual flavor. It's just...sauce. But bland sauce. The fried chicken is also really poorly done, and unfortunately, a couple of mine were raw in the middle. All in all, not worth it. Which sucks because I was told this place used to be good. Guess not anymore.

28/09/2025: Fancied a doner kebab. Wish I hadn't bothered. Probably the worst I've every had. Very little salad. The meat was warm but very dry. And the pitta bread was hidden under the meat ,uncooked. Will not be back

20/09/2025: Extremely rude staff longer waits stone cold food and soggy wet chips. Told us we would need to wait another hour to get fresh food sent out. Absolutely shocking customer service.
