The best restaurants in Cork

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.

06/12/2025: What used to be a good local Chinese has deteriorated hugely under new management. Shockingly bad food. Tasteless and cardboard like. If you order at the counter your food arrives immediately. No effort being made at all. They couldn’t even be bothered seasoning the tasteless chips. The only decent Chinese takeaway in the city is the one by the lough

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.

20/11/2025: Delivery times are awful, be prepared to wait 2 hours and receive cold food.

13/09/2025: Guys ! Don't waste your money and time This was the worst pizza ive ordered so far, pizza is disgusting, arrived cold too nothing is fresh , garlic bread taste like cardboard and fries just a big NO! I want my money back what a waste

25/11/2025: I like most of their menu except Pizza. Different strokes4different folks !

23/10/2025: I’ve been ordering food from your place every week, and it’s always been delicious. However, my last two orders were both incorrect. The first time, I decided to just let it go, but the second time, it happened again. I called to report the issue, and your team said they could replace the order — which I appreciated — but the replacement also came spicy, even though I didn’t request that. Later, I received another call saying that the order I returned was actually my original order, and I was even asked to pay for it. That was really disappointing because it clearly wasn’t the dish I always order and enjoy. I’m honestly very disappointed by how this was handled. I don’t think I’ll be ordering again.

22/12/2025: 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 🤢 this was supermacs Little Island.

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.

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

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.

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

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 👍

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.

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.

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.

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!

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...

10/01/2026: Service was horrible. The young woman serving me couldn’t even greet me. The only thing she told me was the cost of the meal. Very rude.

04/01/2026: Ordered chicken Chipotle wrap, easy one of the worst wraps I ever had. "Grilled chicken" was actually unseasoned boiled dry chicken pieces with traces of salad and sauce in the wrap, there was something out of date in it too, couldn't eat it.
