The best restaurants in Cork

22/06/2025: Absolutely disgraced with this establishment. Food was ordered 30 minutes in advance last night yet was made to wait upon arrival. What was ordered was reasonably priced however, upon returning home the spicy bag contained two measly pieces of chicken and the wrong rice was given. Won’t be returning for definite!!

22/06/2025: Once again left disappointed. Never opens on time, never answers the phone in my experience. Onion rings are too big, never cook properly and large chips are never large chips. Too many bad experiences, always left annoyed. Not returning

14/02/2025: Best Chippy in Cork!! Onion rings are outstanding never had a bad experience there (and yes we go more than we probably should) When I ask for a lot of salt and vinegar they do not disappoint. All the staff are incredibly nice even when rushed of their feet!

13/08/2025: I recently visited East Ocean in Charleville and unfortunately, I have to share a very negative experience. While the food was decent, the atmosphere was completely soured by the owner's behavior. I witnessed the owner, June, being incredibly abusive towards the teenage staff. The way he spoke to them was disrespectful and unprofessional, creating a tense and uncomfortable environment for everyone present. As a customer, it was disheartening to see young people treated in such a manner. I believe in supporting local businesses, but I cannot in good conscience recommend East Ocean based on this experience. The owner's behavior is unacceptable, and it reflects poorly on the establishment as a whole. I hope the management addresses this issue and creates a more positive and respectful workplace for their employees.

10/06/2025: (Traducido por Google) Buena comida familiar. Bien conservado. Bien amueblado. Personal agradable (Original) NICE FAMILY MEAL. Well maintained. Well furnished. Pleasant staff

08/09/2025: Had the pizza. Great fusion food but a tad on the expensive side. Service was friendly and attentive!

01/09/2025: Attended a wedding event here and had a fantastic time. Great beer, good food and brilliant band. Great Craic 🇮🇪🍻

01/03/2025: Went into Little Man pub in Mallow as I was waiting on an appointment and was served by the nice gentleman owner relaxed into a comfortable armchair by a lovely wood burning stove and loved the nice relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend to everyone. For those who do visit. Enjoy.

15/02/2025: Refused drink based on “after having too many”. We were a group of 6 and no one had a drink yet. Very intimidating

30/08/2025: Not a good place to eat... Avoid

26/08/2025: Bad experience with management. avoid this place for all the reasons !!!

03/07/2025: Iv given Warren Allen numerous chances now as the coffee is simply stunning, but it is in no way worth dealing with the appalling attitude of staff. The 2 main people, a man and woman, who I can only assume are managers, don’t seem to have the capability to smile. The level of unnecessary rudeness and deplorable customer service skills have marked their card for me… plenty other places in Bandon with lovely coffee AND lovely staff…

02/04/2025: Great atmosphere to contemplate and study! Latte was super creamy and hot! Coming back soon

18/07/2025: Regular here chips are awful all bad and full of black spots,curry sauce is like cement, cheese on pizza doesn't even melt ,and prices being charged it's simply not good enough..go elsewhere people looking for a chipper food. Like a fool I went back here only to be charged 6 50 for large garlic chips and cheese, which turned out to be small rang twice got no satisfaction..never again horrible staff who haven't a clue what your saying. For a great chipper by god it's gone downhill fast!!!

24/04/2025: The food has gone downhill here in the past 12 months. The chips are soggy and the pizza is over cooked. It’s a shame because it was the best in town for years.

07/07/2025: It can be hit or miss at times, but it's usually good.

15/06/2025: Staff very rude and was over charged

15/08/2025: Experience here was horrible. The blonde manager was awful rude and dismissive to myself and my boyfriend when we came for breakfast last week. On our arrival she ignored us completely and upon finally taking our order, she made us feel like a nuisance creating such an unpleasant and unwelcoming atmosphere. We sat at the far end of the cafe and even so we could hear her publicly shouting and shaming a poor young staff member. Service aside I wouldn’t recommend the food either. My boyfriend got a toastie which was only okay. I got the tuna melt shambo and spent the remaining week suffering from food poisoning. Overall completely unpleasant experience from service to food. Completely unprofessional, negligent and inconsiderate attitude of staff. Considering how they treated a customer, I can’t imagine their attitude towards their own staff, food quality and hygiene. 0/10.

14/07/2025: Food lovely Unfortunately the prices have risen

16/09/2025: Have used tattoo service ,found everybody extremely helpful, very patient in helping me finalise my idea. I would highly recommend them .

23/08/2025: Got my tragus pierced by Jenna couldn't recommend more very hygienic and polite will definitely be back for more

21/04/2025: all food in terrible deep fat and this eatery works at night, many drunken people at this time near it

18/02/2025: Regulars are back cooking so not a long wait at all.

10/05/2025: the food is alright but its not actually in n out

22/03/2025: The food is decent but the service is terrible. Numerous occasions where the delivery drivers have been very rude at the door, just had one of them start roaring and shouting at my parents house over "the potholes in the drive" which had been filled already. The fact people can behave like that and not face any consequences is a joke!

20/07/2025: Food was fresh hot and delicious!

14/07/2025: Really enjoyed the pizza and the chips are superb.

01/07/2025: Me and my family order from this takeaway for the first time . The atmosphere was great the lady working explained to us how to order and was kind. The wait for the food was short and the food was hot when it arrived. Unfortunately after arriving home one of the meals made us doubt if it was cooked all throughout. Upon further inspection the chicken was slightly raw and no longer appealing. The rest of the food tasted greasy and didn’t taste fresh .The crispy chilli chicken with honey was not crispy the chicken was soggy and the chicken was stretchy and difficult to cut. Overall wouldn’t come again .

26/05/2025: owners are friendly , staff on phone friendly driver friendly and FAST SERVICE- LOVE THIS food is beautiful and gave me lots of food I enjoy the 5in1s. plenty for 2days spicebag is huge , will order again ! ordering online is difficult for me, so website needs to be little clearer on the payment side other then that can't fault it.
