Fellas
Cork
16/07/2026: Excellent food and great service! The kebab pizza was delicious, with a crispy crust, generous toppings, and plenty of flavor. The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and well-seasoned. The portions were generous, the restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tasty meal!
09/07/2026: Best kebabs I've had in a while, must try if you are in the Blackpool area!

Patonis Restaurant
Cork
06/08/2026: Order a toasted special yesterday. Only thing special about it was the price....SIXTEEN BLOODY EURO FOR THIS !!!
I paid in advance at the till thinking that for the price that maybe there will be french fries with it, hence the expensive cost. Even at that, it still would have been expensive without tea or coffee and in a kip of a place with plain uncomfortable wooden seats.
The "special" consisted of two slices of plain toasted white bread cut in half, about two slices of ordinary process ham, bit of grated cheese, small bit of onion and tomato...and a few crisps that wouldnt cover the palm of your hand....âŹ16!! RIP OFF!!!
That morning in town I had got a breakfast in Tony's Bistro North Main St for âŹ16 which had the same amount of toasted bread plus a slice of McCambridge wheat bread, 3 sausages, 3 bacon, an egg, a hash brownie and a coffee!
DO NOT GO TO PATONIS....if your a small bit peckish and not too fussy, save yourseld a tenner and go into Tesco and buy a made up sambo for a fiver and sit in the public seating which is just as comfortable.....or just starve!
29/07/2026: My toastie had a hair in it and they asked if it could be cheese it was clearly a hair..they made another one for me with everything I didnât want on it im pregnant and allergic to tomatoâs. Also the taytos were stale The bread was barely toasted but I will say the customer service was great. Everything else was absolutely terrible. My partner got sick after the food once he was home he was completely fine before that. Very disappointed but I will say the service was great and the staff were very friendly.

The Wilton
Cork
02/08/2026: This place was a real letdown. The staff seemed completely uninterested in serving anyone, and honestly, all of them were just plain rude besides the one fella behind the bar. On top of that, the portions were tiny. You'd expect a decent amount of food for the prices they're charging, but it felt like I was being served an appetizer as a main course. Definitely not worth the visit. It was clear they did not want us there, also trying to rush us out the door as soon as food was done.
01/08/2026: I was one of a party of 9 last night. My sister and I ordered a steak salad with cherry tomato, sweet potato and mixed leaves. After about 30 minutes a manager came to tell us they had no lettuce but we could have fries or chips instead. We opted for fries...we should have actually ordered something else because when it arrived, there was no sign of a vegetable- very little steak, fries and a big helping of some spicy Mexican rice, which neither of us ordered. The staff were apologetic and we got a free drink voucher each, but a free coke zero is mo substitute for apalling food. We paid 16 euro for something that couldn't be called a salad in any universe. I will mot be eating there or recommending it to anyone.

Dinos
Cork
30/06/2026: Absolutely do not bring your children here. Twice we were here as a family, the first time a person who I can only describe as looking like a zombie came out from the back of the kitchen and very rudely grunted, "put manners in those children" the second time this same lady approached from the back of the kitchen grunting under her breath again while looking at the children. The children were no louder than other kids. The other guys working here were very polite. The food wasn't bad, slightly better than ok, try to get chicken just as they open as the chicken will be freshly cooked then. overall, I would not recommend this restaurant especially if you have young children.
08/06/2026: Had a small mistake in the order and was very hangry so maybe a little over reacted hehe but the staff were so helpful. Special thank you to Aneta who had such a smile on her face and couldnât be more apologetic. Really good interaction. Thank you guys x

The Quays Bar Tapas & Grill
Cork
15/03/2026: On maps said it is open. However it was closed. Sunday 14:00
27/12/2025: My daughter & I visited the Quays bar today & had food that was reasonably good. Unfortunately the place was absolutely filthy, our shoes were sticking to the floor. Toilets were disgusting & absolutely filthy with no toilet roll & when we asked we were told there was none. I dread to think what the kitchen was like.

Cork International Hotel
Cork
24/07/2026: Charred Flatbread was amazing and fish and chips looked good.
One member of our party had to send vegetable curry back as the vegetables were hard and undercooked, and the Summer Eton Mess wasnât fresh with dense meringues and a singular soft strawberry.
Service was friendly and good though - shout out to Grace !!
14/07/2026: âCatch of the dayâ was a grilled hake which was stale and was obviously cooked the day before. Totally unacceptable for a âŹ23 dish and had to send back. Also not much variety of dishes which is not good for a couple of days stay.

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.

28/06/2026: Donât go there young staff with attitude not a friendly person in the place will not be going back
22/06/2026: Your destroyed the shop next door, look I agree it needed To be modernised inside but the fact you covered the marble name of the old shop with a plastic looking daybreak sign and painted it grey. Why do you suck the joy out of our city ?
