The best restaurants in Cork

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

12/08/2025: It’s shopping mall Chinese. You get what you expect, however it’s too expensive to return. 20€ for prawn fried rice and Diet Coke.

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.

15/08/2025: Bradley is rude and terrible service every time I’ve been here. He will always talk over you while you are still ordering trying to rush you to the till, he’s always got half the store closed and cleaned away hours before closing time. Today actively tried to get the other girl on shift not to get more ingredients from the back and wanted essentially to say they didn’t have it for my order, then started blaming some manager for “eating the head of him for opening another bag or marinara sauce”. I’ve seen his attitude rub off on the staff he’s on shift with too, people who are usually fantastic turn into rude and in a rush to get back to doing nothing in the back. Consistently I have problems with him and he brings the rest of the place down. Also this is now the only subway I’ve ever been where all your items are put on the counter and you have to bag them into a takeaway bag yourself

03/02/2025: Not a nice establishment. Very disrespectful to anyone outside their preferred group. Obviously in serious arrangements with local , untrustworthy influencer. There's other, more respected venues near by. I'll gladly discuss my experience with any member of management if they make contact. Again, avoid big time

07/09/2025: Got literally my sub thrown at me. He seemed extremely annoyed and rude. If you don't like to serve customer, find a different line of work. Everything flew out when I opened the package. Another thing is, if you said you are open till 8, don't force us to do a takeaway so you dont have to clean the tables. Peak of lazyness. The sub was also toasted too short, the bread was dry and stale. 2 stars for the food because it was edible.

27/08/2025: Go in here to order my usual weekly sub everytime I enter they always say hello and seem happy unlike other places that wouldn’t even look at you there subs are perfectly made and everything always seems so fresh and clean I can’t recommend this place enough, if you love subway this is the one to visit!!

24/07/2025: Just ate here for lunch. Had a chicken breast sandwich with bacon and cheese meal. By god was it horrible. Re-heated chips and pre cooked chicken breast re-heated. Bacon tasted awful also. Burger was also cold. Far from "Fresh" as advertised! Had the same in the supermacs at junction 17 recently and it was very enjoyable, hot and fresh. Hence why I said I'd try it again. Little island outfit is awful bad. Not recommended at all. I should have known as it wasn't busy and all the other food outlets were.

06/06/2025: Very poor service in this SuperMacs. Ordered food. Only three other couples in store. Waited 20 mins and no food. Went to counter to ask about food, told it would be brought to the table, another 10 minutes before food arrived, when it arrived it was wrong. I should have just got a refund. There'll be no next time. Don't expect much from this place.

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.

16/03/2025: The kiosk by 5 points down the marina is awful. The young girl who works there at the weekend is rude and not interested. Place is dirty and coffee isnt great.

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.

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.

12/08/2025: Biggest 99 in all of Cork, only €3!

24/05/2025: Thr poor rating before we visited was unjustified and the menu differed from that shown on Google. The choice of meals was very good. The staff were exceptional and the food was excellent. Would definitely return.

08/05/2025: We chose this restaurant for ease... we really regret it! Ultimately it would have been quicker to go to Cork to eat and come back! Everything was incredibly slow and yet there were no crowds... 15 minutes just to come and take an order and another good 30 minutes before we got our plates.

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.

20/02/2025: Petrol station with plenty space, very good service and is very handy this petrol station be around here very closed of hospital where make a huge difference for the customers going into hospital others going work and they can have a breakfast here and a cop a coffee or tea, the community around the area sometimes take for grant.

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!!

22/06/2025: Very disappointed in the Abrakebabra chicken kebab. Was really looking forward to it but chicken was over cooked & the kebab was over filled so difficult to eat. Won’t be buying again. Mahon Point.

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.

18/07/2025: Nice Coffee and Great service with a smile 😊 The girl that served me today was very smiley and happy at her work. Which makes a difference. Thanks 🙏

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 .

20/07/2025: Great food and service from the Team at Kin Kao. I placed a double order (my error) which was noted by their team and a full refund was made. Food great also......would highly recommend

16/07/2025: Eat before you arrive at the airport, food is terrible and service IS even worse. Frozen pizzas. Bar staff dressed as if they have come from the gym . The blond girl behind the bar just stares and looks at everyone without greeting you . Horrible

19/06/2025: Since the recent re-fit, the customer experience here is absolutely shocking. Kick start your travels in a miserable 15 person deep queue to get food or drink Recent extension offers more seating but an under staffed at the bar means the queuing here is worse than ever. Sad times!
