The best restaurants in Waterford

30/10/2025: I got a pepperoni pizza and a battered sausage out of Maza Takeaway in Waterford. I have to say, this food was shockingly good. The pepperoni pizza was fresh to death, with Maza using high quality ingredients, as you get what you pay for, but the quality is unbelievable, with the toppings being so high quality, it makes you question yourself, Where can I get these ingredients so I can make my own version of this pizza so it tastes the same as Maza's? The battered sausage was on point, with the meat tasting juicy and the batter staying on, with it actually tasting better than a battered sausage out a traditional chipper. The service was also excellent, as I got my food delivered and the food was 30 minutes early, but it was still piping hot, which is a sign that this restaurant is managing their business extremely well. The delivery driver was nice as well, as he offered me a voucher for the restaurant as it was my first time ordering from the restaurant. Seriously, I do not get what all the 1 star reviews of this place are for and I hope you keep this quality of food going. Lads, thank you for actually making good food and managing this restaurant perfectly at the same time. Not many restaurants do this. Maza, I hope you continue to open for as long as possible. Also, I did not give the atmosphere any stars as I haven't been in the restaurant before. I will be back next summer for sure 💯💯💯

14/10/2025: Absolutely love MAZA! The food is always fresh and full of flavour. Their pizzas and tandoori chicken are amazing, and the munchy boxes are perfect for sharing. Friendly service, great prices, and fast delivery — definitely my go-to takeaway in town!

14/01/2026: Great fresh food, really lovely staff, and a nice-looking place. Easily best burritos in Waterford!

05/11/2025: Ordered at 9pm last night, at 10pm it was finally on the way. The driver didn't move for about 10 minutes so I sent a message on Uber. He then called me to say he's stuck with two orders. The restaurant was closing and had cleaned up and said they aren't making the orders. Told the driver to mark them as collected. He was then stuck with the orders on his app and couldn't do more orders (driver is top rated). Shameful that the restaurant didn't even call themselves. Not my first incident here over customer service ridiculous carry on. Back to Changaro for the customer service. Update: As much as I'd hate to drag a family business, the way you treat customers here is disgusting. I posted this a month ago, got a reply fairly quick but can now see they've edited their response one day ago. Horrible to be blaming Uber and the drivers when they're the only ones who made contact, you were probably home and all by then. The food was not late, it was refused to be made. Driver was in an awful panic. Hilarious reading all the reviews, but what's even funnier is the we checked CCTV response.. had an issue like this before, claimed staff aka family "didn't do it" and insisted I was lying about an order being wrong. Told them not to bother checking but they called back to say the camera showed driver taking wrong order which was a lie since rest of order was perfect. (Dietary requirements meant the wrong one couldn't be eaten). But I think the most APPALLING part is the absolute audacity and rudeness of the owner replies. Might be " in the business years " as they say, but clearly have learnt zero customer service... Won't be wasting more time on this review or this place🤑

26/08/2025: Was in there today and got myself a Cappucino, it was awful, The coffee is very very acidic, the cocoa powder they use isnt great either, its not the first time ive questioned the taste but it will be the last, I dont know if its the type of Beans, The dosing in the machine, the machine or the water but that coffee is not right. its actually sickening

24/07/2025: had a cold drink it was refreshing

23/12/2025: Asked for a caramel iced frappe and they gave me an iced latte , I then kindly went up and told them they got my order wrong and a rude worker with Two braids in red/brown hair snapped in and wouldn’t even let me finish my sentence. Very rude staff and also left the kitchen unattended for several minutes at a time to take unnecessary breaks.

21/12/2025: Yesterday, my family and I went there, and it was a very bad experience. It was my first time experiencing something like this in Ireland. My son, who is 9 years old, was just roaming around the counter. There was no staff there at that time, and we were sitting nearby. Suddenly, a staff member came from inside and approached our table. She very aggressively accused my son of stealing something from the counter. We were shocked by her behaviour, as she blamed him without even checking the CCTV cameras. When we asked her to double-check the cameras, she later realised her mistake and apologised. This is the most ridiculous behaviour I have ever experienced at Starbucks.

27/11/2025: Very very mixed experience here...... As a family of 5 we went here and ordered some food to takeaway. Quarter pounders were the worst burgers we have ever tasted, the burger buns were hard. The burger meat was unseasoned and hard also. The chips were ok, again no seasoning on anything, a shake of salt wouldn't go a miss. The chicken goujons were absolutely scandalous, it was like trying to eat a tyre mixed with cardboard, they had a strange taste off them too. They shouldn't be on the menu at all, we brought them home to the dog, which she enjoyed! The curry cheese chip however was lovely, the curry was lovely, the cheese melted well , no faults about that. The dinner box was just ok, the 1st piece of chicken was like the goujons whilst the other 2 pieces were cooked to perfection. We wouldn't order from here again.

25/11/2025: Always excellent and perfect spot

04/02/2026: Bad service and don't reply to emails.

02/11/2025: The spring rolls were HUGE! Tasty food for average price.

30/09/2025: Ordered spicebox waiting 40 mins food came and it was raw chicken was all pink inside absolutely disgraceful

08/08/2025: Google thinks this a food restaurant type place, it's for takeaway bubble tea, which they are great at.

05/07/2025: The impressions from visiting this place are not the most pleasant. There are no prices on the menu, which is strange. Not all drinks are translated into English. The table with napkins is dirty. It is obvious that the staff has difficulty serving a large flow of customers. Judging by the taste, appearance and execution of bubble tea, its price is too high.

17/12/2025: There was more grease on the tenders than there would be on a grease gun. I had to search for my burger in a pool of mustard. Coke tasted like some kind of radioactive material. The bossmen were chill to be fair. Would have to be lathered to come back again

16/11/2025: Ordered food and never received it went all the way there and they didn’t do anything about it even tho I paid them for food my hard earned money for food and just told to contact just eat and go hungry. Absolutely disappointing and terrible customer service

08/02/2026: Cannot be faulted, always polite and friendly staff with a smile on their face. The option to pick and build your own meal is lovely and is the reason we continue to come back frequently

01/02/2026: The staff was kind and helpful.

02/11/2025: Filthy place. Other Costas in town are much cleaner. Sticky tables, weird odor. Very outdated interior in comparison to other Costas. Unless they fix it, avoid coming here.
