The best restaurants in 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.

22/02/2026: Gone to the absolute dogs. I always love it here. Pure durt they are serving now. Don't waste your money

28/12/2025: Definitely no. Never again. This should just be a take-away if even that. We were using the laundrette across the way so had some food while waiting. Medicore at best. Over priced too and I know prices are going up but this was ridiculous. Toilet smells like damp/mould and toilet doors dont have locks. Lobby area into bathroom smells like cigarettes smoke. Bathroom bi nis covered in rust with the soap balancing on it. Like faulty towers. Do not recommend

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.

25/11/2025: I had the regular brest in the bin meal and I have to say for such a big food chain the chips were very few, a small amount of chips on a little paper bag. I think it may be only this outlet as chips from other hillbillys were a fill little bag and more. Honestly for such a cheap item I can't understand how they get away with serving chips that you could count out. The brest in the bun was nice could have done with a little more sauce. The onion rings were ok batter was a bit oily instead of crispy. Then there is the extra charge for any thing that comes with Coca Cola like a sugar tax. Another sneaky way of hiking up the price of meals. As for he service it was pleasant, quick and professional from the young member of staff. That was about the only positive experience. As for the meal over all it was not value for money.

06/10/2025: Love Hillbillies in general, love the Chicken and gravy in particular, usually its very nice unless chicken is left under the heat lamp to long and drys out. Was in Mahon today and ordered a Burger Meal and 3 Tenders meal, server put me in for a Burger Meal and 3 tenders which I didn't know as still cost 24 euro, but when I highlighted I was missing items server says I only paid for 3 tenders, so to purchase the other items I hadd to pay for separately for the chips, drink and dip which ended up costing me more money than it would of as a meal because the server got the order wrong in the first place.

10/12/2025: Probably best night club in Cork. 2 Levels with different types of music, third level- smoke bar on top. Very good and very very loud as well.

02/11/2025: Awful experience. We had tickets, but the security refused to let us in for no reason. They said one of us was drunk — which was completely false. The way they spoke to us was rude, aggressive, and humiliating. Pure disrespect and discrimination.

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.
