The best restaurants in Cork city council

05/07/2025: A spit and sawdust pub with grim toilets but close to Musgrave park.

12/05/2025: would i go back here? No, The Staff were really rude and unhelpful, Saw one of the girls working behind the bar taking a picture of people sitting down from the cameras, A really unprofessional atmosphere to the place, No organization at all to the place especially for Party’s, Wouldn’t recommend

01/09/2025: The food was only okay. The spice bags are flavorful and the curry was good but was in no way fresh. The service took forever as the young lady working the food stall was chatting with what I assume is a friend or off duty coworker who was smoking in front of the ordering station. She was so distracted she left out our vegetable rolls. It could use substantial improvement.

26/08/2025: This is my favorite spot in Cork. It has become tradition for my friends and I to get spice bags here after a night out. The portions are large, the flavor is great (get the satay sauce!!), the price is reasonable, and the staff is always kind and quick when getting the food out. I have not eaten a spice bag that even compares to Wok ‘n’ Roll.

06/10/2025: Filling stations who take your money but do not provide a toilet, do not deserve your support.

12/05/2025: Ok shop - buy tea, coffee food etc but they have no toilet. I will go to a service station in future where they lnow what service is.

02/11/2025: The food, the staff, and the portion sizes were all excellent everything was great! Definitely recommend it. There’s a lovely lady working behind the counter who’s so welcoming and genuinely wants to make sure your container is full such a nice touch. One small note: the young couple behind the counter should be a bit more mindful of their surroundings while working, as they were being affectionate with each other. It can come across as unprofessional in front of customers.

27/10/2025: Food was okay. One member of staff particularly rude, really no need for it. Other staff were pleasant but honestly wouldn’t bother going here unless you’re ready for an eye roll and someone pointing to things grunting rather than responding. You’d be better off driving for 20 minutes somewhere else for a more decent Chinese for less the price. I work in retail and i understand dealing with the public can be shite but there’s a bare minimum level of customer service you should have. (They have tried to remove my review, stand by your service and deal with issues rather than trying to hide them 👍)

03/12/2025: 14€ for 10 inch pizza €1:50 extra for dips nothing special

27/09/2025: The pizza was OK, but the service is horrible. Hire better people.

27/09/2025: €8:40 for two crap flat whites that were scalding hot and just dire.

05/06/2025: We had to explain what a rasher was. Then he took the order after 5 times we repeated the order. After all that he said "now wait" and started serving the next person.

02/10/2025: This subway cannot get a delivery order right. Had to order more than once today for an order. First they gave the wrong order and then they gave missing items when we had to re order. We rang the store directly after the first order and the woman we dealt with was just rude and dismissive claiming they never even got our first order.

01/09/2025: This is by far the best Subway my taste buds have ever experienced—absolutely mouthwatering, almost tear-jerkingly amazing. I’ll never forget this day, mainly because yesterday was the worst day of my life. Long after I’m gone dead and buried, my children’s children will know about this place. Mark my words.

08/09/2025: I ordered online. Delicious Pizza. And chips. Fast service. Good Halal option.

19/08/2025: What a fine dining experience! Truly Michelin-star level if the star was made of rotten meat. We only went in ‘cause nothing else was open, and wow… what a mistake. My mate ended up sprinting to the toilet with explosive diarrhea, while I was busy trying not to puke my lungs out. Honestly, I didn’t know food could double as a biological weapon. One star, but only because Google doesn’t let me give negative numbers.

23/09/2025: Waited in a queue to buy something. A woman (who I'm assuming is a worker, because of her uniform. I didn'tget a look of her face but she's short with dark hair) tried to cut in front of me and the rest of the queue. I didn't let her because I was in a huge rush and it would have been unfair to all the people behind me. She called me a swear word beginning with c, under her breath. The cashier refused to speak to me, kept giving me dirty looks, and practically threw my items on the desk. I've worked retail myself and I never usually complain. But the way these workers act is horrific and absolutely unacceptable. I will never be back here.

02/09/2025: Great shop with lots of variety, and the manager and staff are a real credit to the place. One suggestion I’d make is to install anti-bird wire. As a daily user, I (and other bus drivers) have often been hit by bird droppings, which is a real inconvenience. We spend a lot of money here every day, so this improvement would make a big difference to the overall experience.

05/12/2025: Just watched an older guy in supermacs making the food in bare hands after itching three inside of his nose with his thumb, I told him to wear gloves which he did but gross 🤢

15/11/2025: Took 9 mins after the order was placed for staff to start the burgers cooking. No orders before mine so no reason for there to be a delay. 3 staff just milling around doing very little. Manager was “busy” shuffling straws and walking around trying to look rushed off his feet while doing nothing.

21/11/2025: Terrible branch. They spare on ingredients but charge extra. €12.5 for few slices of Pepperoni and a sprinkle of bacon with plane chase.

21/10/2025: Arrived at 7.55pm and I was told the place is closing at 7.45pm. I checked on the outside and the opening hours state 8.00pm... if I wasn't hungry I wouldn't have posted it. Anyway, I appreciate ppl want to leave the work early but if it is opened till 8.00 they should serve till 8.00pm!

10/09/2025: ⭐☆☆☆☆ I ordered the Chicken Shawarma and was quite disappointed. The portion size was large, but the quality did not match up. The flavor and overall taste were underwhelming, and I expected much better. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a satisfying experience.

26/06/2025: I can not believe when i went recently to this place as I haven’t been there for a while that a kebab meal is now. €15!..the last time i was there and it wasn’t ages ago it was around €9. Just to add,this is my last time ever visiting Abrakebabra It really is a rip off!!

03/09/2025: Loved the freshly prepared Chicken Kabab. And seasoning to ur preference. Very Cordial Chef. Will definetly visit again.

31/08/2025: The worst kebab in Cork city, Please don’t give a try from here

20/08/2025: Got the quater pounder with cheese 5.95. Delicious. Friendly staff. Perfect char

05/08/2025: We came here for some food before our train journey back to Dublin. The staff was very nice and we had a little chat while we waited for the food to cook. Once we got the food we were not dissapointed. The 12” pizza we ordered was exceptional. It also came with some garlic sause which enhanced the flavour even more. Definitely recommend this place 😄

10/11/2025: Just walked out of this place, I've been going here for months get a standards 3in1 with extra onions everytime. Today is the first time I seen the manager / owner, I asked for the same 3in1 with extra onions, he refused to put the onions in and said it wasn't him but the kitchen that wouldn't do it. I explained I always come here and get it with extra onions! I ended up walking away , he should of got abuse because he had a bad attitude! To be truthfull, the curry sauce is not great here, and I only come cause it's on the way home !

20/07/2025: Very poor quality food. I’ve never had food this bad in Cork. Do not try it. Seriously disappointing. The only good item was the vegetable spring roll .
