The best restaurants in Cork

04/03/2025: Terrible, I ordered a lamb kebab with only lettuce and garlic sauce, I talked three times to the attendant, and he in front of me told the boy, and even so they gave me a kebab with all the ingredients, a lot of incompetence. I don't recommend it.

11/02/2025: Good fried chicken restaurant. Alternative for KFC. I would say better than KFC. Unfortunately last time I went to this restaurant they stopped Chicking. Now as an alternative they started pizza and shawarma. And also they sell South Indian dishes. South Indian dishes are the best. Need to try.

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.

24/08/2025: I waited nearly 20 mins for a €4 Cappuccino which was basically a cup of hot milk.I do not like very strong coffee but this had no caffeine in it at all it was horrible.3 staff but only one Barista making the coffee.very few of the customers were buying food so one member of staff had very little to do so why would he not help out with the coffees as the Que waiting was big and customers getting frustrated yet just one (slow) girl making the coffee.Wont be back

24/08/2025: No other way to describe this place other than a complete disaster. People waiting over 10 minutes for coffee. So many people waiting that other people arriving think they are joining the queue but they are only joining a waiting area for coffee. Orders are shouted out but there's so many people waiting, often for the same thing that nobody knows which order is theirs so 4 people hear "Cappuchino" and all make a move at the same time. The staff dont care so it's just a free for all. The pastries are average and do not make up for this fiasco.

31/12/2025: Food is good, but wait is always a joke.

02/10/2025: Wanted to try here the other day but a number of the items I wanted to order had 9=Nuts for allergens recorded, I wanted to see if I could order the meal anyway but remove the element that contained Nuts but staff couldn't tell me which element of the dish had Nuts. Partner still ordered and enjoyed the meal. Please train your staff in something so important like allergens 👍

27/04/2026: This can’t be called supermacs, pure filth.

10/03/2026: Got a bacon burger might aswell have ordered an onion with the amount of them inside in it. Had to through it out half way through

06/03/2026: The kebab is dry. There’s barely any sauce — only on top. The bottom is just dry meat and cabbage.

01/03/2026: Staff are rude and have attitudes would not recommend,much tasty restaurants with way nicer staff

12/01/2026: Truly awful food. Eat anywhere else before you get to the airport.

10/01/2026: OMG, this place is a culinary horror. Best check for yourself: just order "pizza" and you'll what I mean...

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

28/02/2026: I ordered a Big Mac gave me a chicken mayo sandwich

31/01/2026: I went to eat at this McDonald's and it was a real disaster. The food looked bad, the line was long, and the staff were completely disorganized. A suggestion for the manager: hire people with good resumes, not friends of friends.

06/03/2026: The most expensive subway I’ve ever been at, very stingy with ingredients and everytime I buy a sandwich there it’s a different price (I get the same sandwich everytime) I’ve gave up with them, €17 for a half assed sandwich with one type of meat a drink and a half bag of crisps

22/02/2026: Food delivered cold and even the dog won’t eat it.

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.

01/04/2026: Went in to get my go to Philly steak, got the sub and it was drenched, bread falling apart. Was told it was ok and no refund possible with ignorance... last time ill be going to subway

18/01/2026: Rude staff, especially the manager

06/03/2026: I ordered a product on 11 Dec 2025 and I am still waiting, I did not expect to get it before Christmas but the length of time I’ve been waiting is farcical. After many phone call I was told on the 18 Feb 2026 that it would be with me in 10 business days! Still waiting so rang again today the 6 March to be told it would not be in the UK warehouse till the 11th and then with me after 10 more business days. This is an absolute joke of a company and I’m sorry I ever had any dealings with them. Nit once did they ring or email me to say that the order would be delayed. I had to make all the calls to their so called Customer Service. I had to get an electrician to install the product and he is still waiting after 3 months to be able to finish my bathroom. Never again. Worst company I’ve ever dealt with.

06/02/2026: I ordered a product last week, on Thursday. As the company is based only a couple of counties away, I reasonably expected delivery within a day or two. When it didn’t arrive on Friday, I assumed it would come on Monday. It didn’t. Nor did it arrive on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday … and here we are on Friday with still no sign of it. I rang to query the delay and was then told the product was actually out of stock and had to be shipped from the UK. This was never made clear at the time of ordering. Had I known it was coming from the UK, I would have ordered elsewhere … or simply used Amazon and had it delivered quicker. This isn’t the first time this has happened, and it raises a genuine question about whether stock is actually being held at all, or whether orders are effectively being fulfilled after the fact. Anyone can drop-ship … that’s not what customers expect when ordering from an Irish supplier. When I suggested that the website should clearly state when an item is out of stock, I was told it had been “flagged with IT.” Unfortunately, that’s of absolutely no use when you’ve ordered something you genuinely needed and were led to believe it was available. I am all for supporting Irish businesses … I make a point of doing so … but this kind of service makes it very difficult. The lack of transparency, poor communication, and excessive delivery times mean this will be the last time I order from here. I would strongly advise others not to assume next-day or even same-week delivery, regardless of what the website suggests.

07/10/2025: Beware of what you pay, check first!

07/07/2025: The most ridiculously over priced coffee I’ve ever seen. Regular oat caramel latte was 7.20€. I am on the floor I cannot believe it is so expensive for bang average coffee. I asked the man at till if this was correct and he said oh we have to pay for the oat. I could quite literally buy about 5 cartons of oat milk for this price, which I will. RIDICULOUS
