The best restaurants in Cork

06/09/2025: Staff are always so lovely and patient. It's very clean and always busy but always moving.

07/06/2025: I was there this afternoon a female staff member got my order wrong she put extremely spicy sauce on my sub I took a bite and it burned my mouth and lips I dumped it in the bin. I don’t understand how hard it is to follow the instructions she seemed pleasant but it’s not good enough and I didn’t see any manager today about it he wasn’t there. Absolute Waste of time and money. Can the staff and manager stop pulling the card machine away before it’s finished being used my card was blocked before because of this. It would also be great if they were nicer to the public not pick and chose who to be nice to and rude to. Do better all across the board much better.

07/10/2025: Jack's is excellent in every way, the food was out of this world and the staff are really homely and nice.

29/09/2025: Absolutely fabulous food. We’ve been back several times. Do not be put off by the slightly dated interior.

25/08/2025: Back again and last time . Its happened again. Fish overcooked, chips overcooked,

20/08/2025: Best ice cream muffins:) Best service too. Gluten free burger was delicious!

16/10/2025: Food is good when they get the order right , countless times had a simple order of a chicken curry 4in1 and everytime it is chicken satay , we mention it everytime we go in but no change

10/10/2025: The food amd staff were beyond pleasant you definitely wouldn't be left hungry after ordering from here! I ordered a munchy box and a 4 in 1 the portion sizes are massive this was between 4 people and we could barely finish it I could never be disappointed ordering from City Palace. And the staff are so friendly and patient.

12/10/2025: Little waiting time to receive your order and very responsive staff.

07/10/2025: Few times we have visited this McDonald's on a few previous occasions the orders where wrong or missing something but went today and food was cold cold chips and cold burger not a very good dinning experience

20/08/2025: My favourite takeaway in Cobh, because they have the best all 3- Best Pizzas, Best Burgers, & Best Kebabs. I find they also have the most reasonable pricing for their food, compared to other takeaways here who charge an arm & a leg. Always quick delivery too.

20/08/2025: If you're a kebab fan, this place is perfect for you. The service is incredibly friendly. Even when they have a ton of orders at the same time, they're always friendly to customers who sometimes aren't so friendly to them. If you see a bad review here, don't believe it. I've lived here for several years and have always been served quickly and in a pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

04/08/2025: Portions have gotten smaller with prices rising, little value for money, not going back.

01/08/2025: Very friendly staff, food was very tasty as well. Lot of food for the price. Not your typical Chinese you think of in America but very tasty.

12/10/2025: The food is good but you have to wait almost two hours for a take away it's just madness and on top of that they forgot an item, I rang them up and the man on the phone was so apathetic. I've been going here since I was a child and never again. Shame there is no other Indian in mallow.

12/10/2025: The food here is consistently great and the atmosphere is lovely, but unfortunately the service really lets it down. We dine here three or four times a year, but after our most recent visit, we’ll likely look elsewhere. Despite having a 6pm booking, we waited nearly an hour just to receive our drinks, and it was 7:30pm before our main courses arrived. During that time, we saw numerous takeaway orders being collected, which was disappointing. It felt like dine-in customers were not the priority. While the food quality remains excellent, the long wait times make it hard to justify coming back.

15/10/2025: Lovely place but food and service 0

07/09/2025: Was here for breakfast was very nice and filling staff very friendly very clean restaurant

06/07/2025: We had an absolute blast at JD’s Pub in Youghal! The music was fantastic, with a lively mix of classic rock and country from a singer that had everyone on their feet. The atmosphere was electric—busy but welcoming, with friendly locals and staff creating a real sense of craic. The pub’s spacious interior and cozy beer garden add to the vibe, and the message “There are no strangers here, just friends you haven’t met… Brendan Behan” truly reflects the warm, inclusive spirit where everybody feels like friends. Great drinks selection at reasonable prices, too. Highly recommend JD’s for good tunes and a vibrant, fun atmosphere!

05/05/2025: Disappointing interaction with management We visited with a group of friends and really enjoyed the atmosphere—bar staff were friendly and the live singer was a lovely touch. However, our experience was soured by an uncomfortable interaction with a member of the management team. While some of our group were dancing, two of us stayed at the table. A manager approached and told us we couldn’t take up a full table if the venue was busy. We were understanding and said we’d move our belongings to make space for others. What felt inappropriate was the follow-up comment implying we weren’t ordering enough drinks. I pointed to a full glass of wine infront of my friend and she laughed and said is that between the two of you. The tone felt unnecessarily harsh and made us feel unwelcome. Sadly, we chose to leave shortly after. It’s unfortunate, as the rest of the evening had been enjoyable up until that point.

07/09/2025: Chicken tikka kebab yummm The doner meat is the best in town. Bread is fresh salad always crispy and fresh and his sauces are unreal. Best kebab in town

28/08/2025: I was quite disappointed with my recent experience. The food was rather tasteless and unfortunately, the waiting time was much longer than expected.

17/08/2025: Food shocking wife had turkey and ham .tiny potatoes 1tiny bit of ham 2 turkey veg a few carrots €22.50.mine tiny mash carrots and the fish uncooked full of water and skin €45 .won't be back

15/08/2025: We visited O’Shea’s Bistro on August 15th at 8:00 pm. We were told there was no table available at that moment, but that if we returned at 8:30 pm, they would be able to seat us. Trusting this, we came back promptly, only to be told that we had no table and that the kitchen was already closed. I understand that unexpected situations can happen in hospitality, but I find the lack of organisation and communication in this case unacceptable. We made the effort to return at the time we were told, yet ended up without dinner. It was a disappointing experience that left us feeling that customers were not treated with proper consideration.

04/10/2025: Cozy coffee place right in the centre of Fermoy.

04/10/2025: A tenner for a toastie with one slice of ham? Unreal
