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....€16!! RIP OFF!!!
That morning in town I had got a breakfast in Tony's Bistro North Main St for €16 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 didn’t want on it im pregnant and allergic to tomato’s. 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
18/08/2026: Its been a while since I had gone to that pub. I used to go there for lunch with my parents and there used to be an amazing carvery and a great choice of sandwiches (hot and cold).
I must say its all changed. When we walked in I was looking around as it was so changed inside but a waitress came straight to us and sat us at a table by the main entrance which wasn't very private or cosy. The pub was practically empty and I would have preferred to sit by a window.
We were given a very small choice menu. I took a cajun chicken sandwich which was very sad looking. Barely buttered, a slice of lettuce and a piece of flavourless chicken in the middle. It was dry and tasteless.
I was disappointed with my food and the cost.
13/08/2026: Football blaring out.
Not the place to go for a quiet drink.
Food poor.

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.

Dinos
Cork
29/08/2026: This is going to be my Google review so disappointing we go here every now and again as a treat staff we’re so rude cracking her knuckles as she served us Absolutely shocking
experience. We ordered all of our food together, yet it came out in different stages, leaving some of us eating while others were still sitting there waiting. By the time we eventually had everything, half of the food was cold.
The chips were like rocks — hard, dry and practically inedible. The onion rings were cold and burnt, and as for the chicken, the photos speak for themselves. After opening it up and seeing what we were served, we certainly weren’t going to eat it.
When an entire order is placed together, it’s reasonable to expect the meals to arrive together, hot and properly cooked. Instead, we paid good money for food that was cold, overcooked and extremely disappointing.
Most of it was left behind. A complete waste of money and without a doubt one of the worst meals we’ve been served. Definitely won’t be returning to Dinos Ballincollig
25/08/2026: Overall a good shop and I always have a good experience. I come here often and I get the impression that they are understaffed, especially when it’s busy. The food is always nice

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 wasn’t fresh with dense meringues and a singular soft strawberry.
Service was friendly and good though - shout out to Grace !!
14/07/2026: “Catch of the day” was a grilled hake which was stale and was obviously cooked the day before. Totally unacceptable for a €23 dish and had to send back. Also not much variety of dishes which is not good for a couple of days stay.

Jackie Lennox's
Cork
08/10/2024: We grew up with Brian and Duncan salt of the earth the fed the parish badly miss and the there sisters ladies omg they’re father Jackie mrs Lennox ❤️❤️
08/10/2024: Favorite chip shop of mine over more than a decade of visiting Cork on occasion. With that said my last visit a few weeks ago ended up with them giving me the wrong order that I did not realize was the case until long away from the shop. Chicken supper instead of the Cod Supper that I ordered. It was still good but it sad that I didn't get one last Cod Supper before they shut down for good this past weekend.
