The best restaurants in Cork

19/09/2025: The service was great ... everyone was very friendly .

26/08/2025: I brought back a full inedible fish here once to ballincollig, and the manager at the time, she told me I could not get a refund even though I had a receipt - I was told to take a new one or nothing! It was very imbarasing infront of the other costumers. I contacted Dinos HR in November 2023 when this happened, but I got only one reply, and I got no satisfaction. I go out of my way now to go to Bishopstown; they are far superior in every way. August 2025 now and still no Satisfaction.

30/08/2025: Fried are really good and vegan chilli mayo was great as well

27/06/2025: Food with lots of pepper and no taste, coarse employees. I don't recommend it!

05/07/2025: BLT on sourdough is a thing of beauty.

13/03/2025: The service was incredibly pleasant. All the staff were very friendly and it really added to the nice atmosphere! I got the wrap of the day (teriyaki chicken wrap) and I devoured it. It was absolutely delicious. Would definitely come here again! 10/10

02/10/2025: I ordered Taco chips, Chips were hard and Taco sauce was cold. Probably the worst takeaway i ever had.

03/09/2025: Dino's is one of my favorite chains in Ireland and this location is just a good! Very close to some bus stops aswell. They have great food, (especially their chips and chicken) large portions, and affordable pricing. Would highly recommend

09/10/2025: Great place and delicious food for really little money. I recommend it to everyone.

08/07/2025: The person at reception was devoid of politeness and tried to double the bill when she heard my accent. Never again.

30/09/2025: The food and service are okay — not high quality but acceptable. They do offer halal food.

28/09/2025: Tables filty and not cleaned regularly. Kebab is one of the worst I've tasted.

19/09/2025: Come here every day best chips and curry around, Jack

19/09/2025: food was fabulous as always 10/10 beautiful curry, and lovely chips, best chineese food around, highly recommend, also the spare ribs in peeking sauce and the salt chilli duck is out of this world. the lady behind the counter fiona is so friendly and so good to my son always so friendly great food great service,

31/08/2025: I understand this is only a 3-star hotel, but they barely meet the standards of a motel. Super rundown beyond the lobby (not just old). Housekeeping is excellent considering they can only do so much. Desk staff were polite, though they lacked initiative and weren’t particularly helpful. First thing you’ll notice is the old musty smell and paper-thin walls. The guest next door woke me up using the bathroom. I even heard the clicking of him texting before his shower. Thankfully, I was on the top floor. Several advertised “amenities” were misleading and missing. They had like five parking spots in their “lot,” so you are expected to pay for parking down the street. Unable to provide a charging adapter as agreed, but sold me a used charger for $10 USD. The room itself could barely hold a double bed and offered no basic necessities besides the watered-down soap pump on the wall. Guests are also not permitted to have a friend wait in the room. They have to wait outside, which feels unnecessarily restrictive. $185 USD (discounted through booking online) for a 10hr stay, I at least expected a complimentary bottle of water or a room that didn’t reek of the 50s. I hate how negative this review is, but this hotel only aims to take every penny they can. Charging me for a used charger (visible scuffs on the metal) when all I needed was an adapter? Did another guest leave that behind? Save the “thanks” comment for the next review. It’s nonchalant and directly shows that you don’t care. Yes, it’s a business, but do better.

24/08/2025: Close to the city centre Staff are very friendly Lovely hotel room

08/10/2025: Came in during the evening and the girl serving me was lovely, great customer service and a smile on her face throughout the queue. Some people were looking for jobs and she was very accommodating. Have been here multiple times and I’ll continue to come back.

05/10/2025: Toilets not up to any standard but food ok

28/09/2025: Very chilled place to eat. Visited on a sat so was super busy but worth the wait. Grab a table, order at the till and they’ll bring it down in due course. Food was hot and tasty. It’s def a place to wear casual and chat. Everyone was having conversations which was refreshing. Toilets were clean

13/09/2025: Ordered delivery over two hours ago. Money taken from my account but no delivery as of yet and I cannot contact them by phone or email. Disgusted Food was eventually delivered but it was just warm. Very disappointed.

13/07/2025: We had a family group of 16 celebrating an 80th birthday here. The setting was lovely, and the service was solid, our single waiter handled the large group with care, was friendly, and got all the orders right, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite live up to expectations. We all ordered from the main menu, and while the dishes varied, the general consensus was that the food was average at best. A particular letdown was the “seared lemon sole fillet” which turned out to be just deep-fried fish in batter, more like pub grub than the refined dish the menu description suggested. To her credit, the manager acknowledged our concerns and made adjustments to the bill, which we appreciated. Still, for a venue like this - a 4 start hotel, the kitchen needs to up their game. Nice atmosphere, good service , but the food fell short of the mark.

23/06/2025: Stayed in hotel and foot injury meant I had to stay in to dine one night. Both courses had elements described on the menu missing with no explanation. Veg overcooked. Bland food. Wish I had paid for a taxi into town instead. Staff were good.

09/09/2025: Would you ever consider changing up the salad choices? It's been the same for years.

06/08/2025: Had such a lovely day out recently with my mom for some lunch, really nice vibe, friendly staff and good food and coffee ☕️ dealt with a lovely girl at the till Courtney, very helpful when I had questions about the menu as I’m a picky eater 😅

19/09/2025: Flavourless, greasy and expensive! Give it a chance, Never again!!

02/10/2025: Food was well, the service terrible. The order machine didn't have any paper left in the printer (2 vists in a row) and it took around 20 minutes to get an average order.

23/09/2025: Everything is great in principle. But we ordered tea with milk - they gave it without milk😅plus be prepared that the toilet does not work after 22.00 although Mac himself works until 00.00

29/09/2025: Got a Breast In A Bun from Barrack Street and it was really poor quality Chicken, it was similar to the cheap processed Chicken you get in a hot Chicken roll from a Deli.

27/09/2025: I love O’Reilly’s! But my recent order last night with pals was very disappointing. I’m always appreciative of their quality but not sure if it was a blip or new staff in training but the fish and chips - fish was bready.. almost soggy. No crisp at all. And not sure if its a branch price difference but the hake and chips - you’ve to pay extra for dip and peas?.. the one near kingsley or bandon they didn’t charge. It was just a bit surprising as well to see the other poor reviews. Hope they turnaround!
