The best restaurants in Cork

19/10/2025: They forgot to give me the curry container and only gave me a rice one. I assumed that the whole meal was in the box and only found out when I got home. I called and asked for refund or hold it until next day but they told me that I had to go all the way back after a long day just to get the box that they did not tell me about. Poor experience overall.

04/10/2025: Really nice food,with prompt service.

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.

22/11/2025: Gabriel and Stefan deserve the oscars!

03/11/2025: All the tables are dirty, the staff are chatting.

08/07/2025: Would be zero stars if I could. Owners or staff illegally park and dangerously drive on the plaza every day. Nearly knocked down my kid the other day and could not care less. Update: Still doing deliveries by driving over the grass.

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.

10/10/2025: Great spot, Great music. Security staff inside all nice lads and fraser on the door a gent... Would definitely recommend to friends.... Keep up the good work 10/10

14/11/2025: I came for their sourdough loaf only to be told it is only for sandwiches made there! I used to be able to buy and enjoy this wonderful bread before. Ridiculous!

09/11/2025: I would like to express my appreciation for the excellent service I received at the café. I felt genuinely well looked after, and they were attentive at all times. Because of this, I decided not only to stay for breakfast, but also to remain longer and have lunch there as well. Megan, the waitress, was incredibly attentive, and the young man at the till was very kind to us.

07/09/2025: Pizza was awful. Greasy, barely any sauce, and way too much nasty-tasting cheese. What little toppings there were just slid straight off. Think the best part was the crust. Had a couple bites of one slice and the rest went in the bin. Won’t be ordering from here again

16/08/2025: Absolutely disgraceful service. I ordered a pizza over 2 hours ago and still no sign of it. On the delivery app it clearly said it would be delivered in 30 minutes, yet here we are with nothing. They’ve already taken my money, but when I ring, there’s no answer at all. I’ve got two small babies at home so I can’t just leave the house to go down and ask them what’s going on. At this stage I’ve had to put noodles on the pan and I’m heading to bed — I can only presume a delivery driver won’t be knocking on my door in the middle of the night and waking up my whole house. I fully expect a refund. Shocking customer service — I’ll never order from here again. Update: attempted delivery 2.5 hours later, my dog woke my 2 year old and newborn. Bizarre they would think I would want the food hours later.. I refused to accept delivery as it would be going in the bin, probably inedible (potentially causing food poison this late) and I wouldn't trust them to process my refund

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.

24/09/2025: Usually don’t leave a review, but got a breast and a bun and it was cold inside, you could tell it was sitting there for a while. I live around the corner so didn’t expect it to be like that when I got home (5 mins) Disappointed because it’s usually good

11/08/2025: 5 people walked out ahead of me fed up of waiting orders to be taken(on a Monday evening).such a shame service gone so far downhill

06/09/2025: Food was bland and tasteless, wouldn't go there again. Very disappointing, the satay had no taste and the beef was tough.

02/06/2025: Hello all :) I use to like this place, it's nothing fancy but did the trick . The last two times the food was terrible 😫 I won't be going back !

14/10/2025: Very friendly staff. Clean and very well kitted out shop, considering its size

20/08/2025: That was my last trip to this maxol. I get charged a different price every single time for a salad roll but it's usually between 3.70-4.50 mark which is fine. 5.05 this time, no meat! One sticker says 4.30 and an extra sticker 0.75 for an (extra filling)? That's me done here.

22/11/2025: Not great. Dough chewy on kebab. Meat ok. Starter (chicken something) very plain

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 👍

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.

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

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 👍)
