The best restaurants in Cork

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.

02/07/2025: This is our place to drink our coffee, we like they give us a card and we can get a free one occasionally. I don't understand why they can't let us have a cold coffee for free like they do with the hot coffees. Also they should ask if we are drinking in there or to take out. We get plastic recipients when we are staying in the place, it should be nice to have the right one when we are in the area.

23/01/2026: Genuinely the worst chipper I've ever had.. Stale/old chips in chips cheese and curry, ordered large got medium. wrong potato pie. Nearly €60 for 3 meals.. STAY WELL AWAY!

23/12/2025: Decent but star deducted for service & no salt/vinegar on chips

19/12/2025: Thanks to Julie for looking after me this afternoon. Absolutely 5 star service.

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

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

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.

10/12/2025: In some month the restaurant change a lot. The last time that I went (6 months ago) was a completely disaster. But when I returned I was pleasantly surprised, the menu change. I will return

22/11/2025: If it were possible to give a –5 rating, that’s what they would deserve. Recently went there with my son — the Caesar salad took about 30 minutes to prepare, it looked nice but tasted bad, and the bread was moldy. In the end they just said “sorry” and brought different bread, and we still paid full price... I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone — for 22 euros you can eat something much better in any other café.

02/11/2025: Here now in the corner flag and must say Stephen and Kathleen are so obliging and lovely creamy pints of Guinness

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

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

01/10/2025: I bought battered sausage and batter burger and chips the batter was still raw and undercooked the pork sausage and burger were stale the meat smelled rotten

31/07/2025: The chipper is by no means bad and I come here from time to time but I was here recently and I have say the service left me annoyed and feeling short changed. The price advertised for a burger and chip was €6.95 and when I handed in my €10 the change I was given was €3. I know its only 5 cents but if their prices say €6.95 I expect €3.05 back. I doubt I would have been charged anything more than €6.95 if I had used my debit card. Giving your customers their correct change matters!! The other thing that annoyed me, and while I was ok with the outcome, I found the lack of asking problematic. I personally enjoy salt and vinegar on my chips however, I know a lot of people don't. When the staff member was serving the customer ahead of me he poured the batch of chips into the tray and asked the customer ahead if they wanted salt and vinegar to which they said yes, the staff member proceeded to dress the chips accordingly and served them. Then when it was my turn the staff member just bagged the remaining chips in the tray and gave them to me without asking if I wanted salt and vinegar or not. As I said, it made no difference as I personally like salt and vinegar however, many people don't and I found this to be unprofessional. I would suggest that the owner and staff need to review their business practices.

29/12/2025: The fried rice looks boiled and hard absolutely horrible, the chicken curry has cheap fatty bits of chicken. They used to be nice years ago, defo not anymore.

13/11/2025: This is literally the worst Chinese food I have ever tasted in my life. €50 for chicken fried rice, chips, a spice box and chicken balls. The chicken fried rice literally tasted of nothing, it may aswell have been boiled rice. Spice box had very very little flavour tasted like they sprinkled a bit of salt on. I honestly can’t believe how much it lacked flavour, the whole order was absolutely appalling.

19/01/2026: This location is rocking joes. It looks awful inside, left out sandwiches for what looks like hotel guests and is cash only. We left and didn’t eat

01/12/2025: Shocking food and worse service. Ordered from justeat and when food arrived we were missing one of the milkshakes. When we called them to say this, he first started off saying they only do take out so it couldn't have been them. When advised it was their address on the receipt he then said it wasn't their problem and that the delivery driver must have wanted it. No offer to replace. Food was stale and cheapest of the cheap ingredients

28/12/2025: The Farm Boy Burger was amazing until they changed the fried egg to a boiled egg, it just doesn’t taste as good and the thicker boiled egg is awkward to eat as well.

14/12/2025: I really love the spice cone and chicken cheese rolls. Only ordered fried rice with curry for once and they aren’t fresh, the oil has a rancid taste. The servers are nice.

10/02/2026: The foods ok, but the delivery took over an hour to get to me.... Just order from elsewhere where

18/01/2026: Food was cold when it came Took an hour and a half to arrive wouldn’t recommend grub was dirt

16/01/2026: Me and my friend Just had a box B from your counter in Mahon point , and to say we are utterly disappointed is an understatement , we got shredded chicken that was sitting there so long that it was so tough to eat , spring rolls and chips that were clearly sitting there for longer then they should of bin to the point it left a bad after taste in our mouth We paid 15 euro for food to be just tossed in the bin , this has bin the case multiple times as iv went back thinking "ill give them another chance it might be nicer this time" but it just has not bin , I feel like guideline for the rotation of food is not up to standard in the restaurant and will not be going back or recommending any time soon . And me and my friends' stomachs are not feeling right since eating here either ! Counter staff dont seem so happy to be serving you either it cost nothing to be polite :)

29/12/2025: It's okay really not too good and not bad the food tastes amazing though but the service is simply meh
