27/10/2025: An excellent lunch spot when walking the Boardwalk at Arcers. Lovely staff. Delicious food. Will come back to stay for a night.

13/09/2025: If you're looking for good food, good Guinness, and a cosy atmosphere, this is the place! Very generous helpings for the price, and lovely staff. (And if you want to try Drumshanbo Gin this is a great place to enjoy it)

28/12/2025: Thank god this restaurant is back on track. It went a bit off track for a while and we stopped going. Now whatever happened it's back to the way it should be. Superb menu . Great staff and prices are right. Compliments to the kitchen on taste and presentation. 10/10 top marks

31/12/2025: Amman was such a lovely staff member went above and beyond couldn’t be happier with his service! Thank you to him! He helped us get a taxi and everything

10/12/2025: Just had THE best festive toastie I've ever had.. I'm not hyping it up for no reason and usually toastie are just fine but this one. Turkey,ham, stuffing, cranberries, cheese with gravy dip on the side, along with small sprouts cooked perfectly and chips. The balance of flavours and the quality of the food was out of this world hence why I'm leaving the review. Totally deserves to be shouted about. Grey service too I might add. 👏👏

01/12/2025: Great spot, classic style, good prices & tiptop meals n deserts!

13/11/2025: One of the best carvery dinners in cork

03/11/2025: Food was was delicious and the portions were huge. Great value. The staff were very friendly and the service couldn’t be faulted. Yes the place could do with a lick of paint but overall definitely will be back

26/09/2025: I wouldn’t know about the food or the vibe since we weren’t even allowed to go in. And why you may ask? Well because the giant man at the door said to my friend ; you know why… he said no and asked for a true answer and didn’t get any. It’ really just felt like idk.. it feelt like he just didnt want him in… which is insane . Chill it bro, you are not guarding the doors of Studio 54 🥱

29/11/2025: Great live music, excellent crowd.

08/10/2025: Pub with great live music Music

22/11/2025: Well what can we say? Each and every dish was so good! Especially the fish course. Not much of a fish person but Lady Helen converted me! We were full by the veal course but it was so good that we finished it. We did not go for wine pairing but ordered a bottle between the two of us. I meam the wine was lovely. Every time we come to Kilkenny, we come to the Lady Helen. Thank you again and can't wait to be back!

19/11/2025: The best Michelin restaurant I've eaten at. Will come back for sure. Every dish was amazing. And the wine pairing was unbelievable. I can't say enough about the chef. Not one dish disappointed us.

01/01/2026: The Wheelhouse Café is a lovely place to stop after visiting the castle. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and it feels very relaxed and friendly. The coffee was excellent and the food was fresh and tasty, perfect for a break after walking around. The staff were kind and attentive, which really adds to the experience. It’s a great little café in a beautiful location, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

09/12/2025: Yes, this is also a tackle store and Garden centre, but the café is GREAT! The toasted sandwiches were HOT as was the carrot and sweet potato soup of the day. As HOT as they were, they were just as tasty!

02/11/2025: Food was delicious, recommed the sea food chowder. Was quite cold in the dinning area, most of us kept our coats on.

28/09/2025: Hard to gain access and find but worth it.

04/01/2026: Lovely restaurant with amazing food, I had the best poached eggs and avocado ever…… it was amazing.

29/12/2025: Had an issue with our order and it couldn't have been handled better. 10/10 for service, will be back again.

09/01/2026: Food is always good, quick service, staff are friendly.

09/01/2026: we paid for extra sprinkles on both of our 99 cones and when we got them, they didn't have sprinkles so of course we asked for some and the woman said we have to pay, but we did already and we told her that. she didn't even give us a full sprinkle spoonful. disappointing.

26/10/2025: Very complete with the food theme, you can consume it right there.

15/10/2025: Food could be better in the supermacs, and the garage wouldn't except my scratch card that I won on ,they said it wasn't valid, but I bought it in the garage

12/01/2026: The location is great, but unfortunately everything else was disappointing. As soon as we walked in, a woman who appeared to be the owner was sitting at the table closest to the entrance doing paperwork. She was speaking very loudly on the phone, which completely ruined the atmosphere. The staff were actually very nice, which was the only positive part of the experience. I ordered the fish and chips, and it was the worst I’ve ever had. The fish was overcooked and hard, and the portion itself was very small. It felt like they were trying to hide the lack of fish with an excessive amount of batter. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

20/11/2025: The chicken noodle soup is so bland, it really shouldn’t be on the menu.
