Macau Sporting Club
Cork
06/07/2026: If you have money to throw away it's fun .
27/06/2026: While trying to leave my scooter at the casino, an elderly receptionist called me a "twat" and said, "We don't accept this behavior in the UK." I was shocked and bewildered, considering we are in Ireland. I truly believe his unacceptable behavior was racially motivated

The Laurels Restaurant
Cork
07/09/2025: Really really disappointing place in general. The interior was quite dingy and stuffy. The place looks quite careless thrown together with random stuff on the walls and a pool table that it is not in use.
A group and I tried to watch an Irish soccer game there one night. The commentary was 5 seconds behind the visuals and one of the screens was glitching. The women insisted everyone at our table bought something when actually 4 out of 5 of us bought something. She was quite rude, blunt and ill mannered. It really made us feel uncomfortable, unwanted and unappreciated. Out of the 100s of great pubs in Cork, this is definitely one of the to avoid.
18/07/2025: Though I've never been a customer of this bar. The auld one who runs the bar needs to realise that the bar does not own the parking space outside the bar and by placing kegs outside the premises, does not mean that the general public cannot park there. The woman who works there shouting abuse at me last week which was totally uncalled for.

Heaven's Cakes
Cork
27/06/2026: Got the chocolate cake for my son’s 18th Birthday. Cake was absolutely delicious. They took the order on the phone and followed up for details.
On the day it was ready well before time to collect.
02/06/2026: Infuriating experience with this cake shop. Ordered a cake for work and literally wrote down the message I wanted on the cake into the order book. Later when collected the message was completely wrong and written on a cake we did not order. Told them that the message we wanted was literally written down and denied any knowledge of this. Completely disgusted with the incompetence. Ended up offering us a blank cake at the same price. Suffice to say that I’ll NEVER BE GOING BACK AGAIN!

Centra Rochestown
Cork
22/05/2026: Great place. Very busy. Lovely staff.
12/05/2026: Today I lost my credit card and tore the house apart , as a last resort rang Centra as I had been there about to buy petrol and found out the card was gone, and lo and behold someone had handed it in and the office notified me a soon as I called and it was waiting at the desk, and I was able to get it and my petrol at last. Every one was so good and nice and helpful well done . Bless you all.

Hillbilly's
Cork
25/06/2026: Nice staff, best taco fries in cork. BnB and ranch salad are amazing... Also smokey Joe is fantastic. Service is really fast
20/06/2026: Apparently the breast in a bun is a Cork specialty and inspiration for the original KFC. Hillbilly's beats the Colonel hands down. Delicious!

The Fry Traditional Fish & Chip Shop
Cork
26/06/2026: Very disappointed with the food. Heard great things, only to be given chips with no salt n vinegar when requested it and chips were definitely not fresh, they were dry, cold and definitely left out all day. Chicken burgers very plain. Curry cheese chips had barely any curry. Would not order again
09/06/2026: In my top 3 taco chips in cork, great portion and good flavour. Price portion quality ratio is excellent. Maybe not my favorite flavor wise that I have tasted but when you take into account what your getting as a whole it's near the best I have had.

Wylam Chinese Restaurant
Cork
14/04/2026: Fabulous really enjoyed it. Would definitely go back. Food was amazing. The room could do with a fresh clean.
01/12/2025: I’ve never left a google review before but the chicken in this place was so bad I feel obligated to warn anybody else who tries ordering from here to Stay Away. I got the ginger and spring onion chicken and it was genuinely inedible and cost nearly 13 quid.

Apache Pizza Douglas
Cork
27/06/2026: I had a really big order today to feed over 60 people and all I can say was the service was 5 star.
Even though I was ringing them constantly to make sure all was ok with the order they couldn’t have been any nicer to me.
The food was beautiful and enjoyed by everyone.
Thank you so much as I know it wasn’t easy managing such a big order but ye did. I would definitely recommend and we will definitely be ordering again for our next big occasion.
Thanks again.
Regards Chris
17/05/2026: Ordered 1 night and my food never showed, i called after hours and the phone answer, turned out my food was misplaced, understandable it happens, Leo the store manager brought me my order and gave me his number told me to call and he will sort me out with a new order, absolute legend, very appreciate the service, mistakes happen and Apache solved it, will eat here again

Naturally Nourished
Cork
25/02/2026: Having heard so .much about the food here we decided to have breakfast. We ordered 2 teas, poached eggs on toast, toast and a granola bowl, €26.50. Two sandwiches for takeaway were €15.80.
The cups of tea arrived...we had to ask for milk. The granola bowl was small, but good. The toast was 3 half slices of bread already buttered!! The poached eggs consisted of 2 eggs, 3 half slices of toast, also already buttered and just put on the plate...zero attempt at presentation. For this meagre portion of food, which cost at max €5 to purchase, €26.50 is outrageous, maybe if there had been some attempt at presentation, we had been allowed to butter our own toast and didnt have to ask for, the tiny jug of milk one could say ok, quality food. The sandwiches, if a bit heavy on the mayo, were far superior and better value for money. Will we return? Maybe for a sandwich, but breakfast was ridiculous.
