Bridgie Terries
15/09/2026: The food here is delicious. My mam got roast beef and said it was the best she ever tasted. So definitely highly recommended. Service is friendly and lots not too pricy. We didn't book. It is accessible for people with mobility issues.
28/06/2026: Ate in this establishment on Friday 26th June. Had fish and chips and it was inedible and service was basic. A member of my party had lamb burger presented soaked in gravy and flavourless

The Cove
Waterford
18/09/2026: Food is grand, pints and staff are great! Could really do with sorting the ladies toilet out though ðŸ˜
06/09/2026: Went here in August and despite it being busy we managed to get a table that had previously been reserved. Good variety on menu and I had the roast beef. A huge and generous portion well worth the money. Only negative aspect was the waitress attitude, could do with being more friendly.

Whitehorses
Ardmore
18/09/2026: The food was lovely and very tasty, and the homemade bread was especially delicious. However, we felt the restaurant was quite overpriced for what we received.
The service was rude from the start, which unfortunately affected our first impression. Thankfully, another member of staff took over serving us and the experience was much better from that point onwards.
Overall, it was a nice experience and we enjoyed the food, but I don’t think we would return, mainly because of the prices.
03/09/2026: Rude and overpriced. Food ok, nothing special. And waitress who I think was the owner was very rude, no personality at all. Would not return.

AndChips
Dungarvan
06/09/2026: My first time trying And chips this evening and I will be never going back. My partner got the beef burger which had watery sauce running from the burger the bun was pure socking wet he didn't eat it. I got the chicken burger the minute I held it I felt cold I thought it was the paper around it, no when I opened it the chicken In side was stone cold. I was thinking it was very fast to get my order in under 10 minutes its like the food is already made sitting in side there just waiting for someone to order it. 100% could not have been made fresh. My partner went back in and gave the burger back and got a refund and when he went back in they took back the burger and put it back in to reheat it 🤮 not trowing it away, properly going to serve to someone else.
27/08/2026: Probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever had and I’ve had quite a few. It’s a must try I will be back whenever I’m in the area. Sit on the dock by the water on a sunny day and it’s magic.
