The best restaurants in Waterford

28/10/2025: Usually love Hook & Ladder, but last visit wasn't the best experience. We couldnt get out of there quickly enough literally tormented by the same looped 4 traks of 'musak' and at way too loud a volume for comfort. We couldn't believe none of the staff seemed to be aware that the tracks were replaying, I think we heard them almost a dozen times. The other unbelievably loud noise compounded the first. Five or six late teen to early twenties waitor/waitresses were making a right racket having a congress at the counter, blissfully unaware of the volume they were at. Very nice, each one, but we genuinely felt agitated and stressed by the time we got out of there. Not a visit we'd ever like to repeat.

18/10/2025: One of my favourite spots for brunch in Waterford. We recently hosted a baby shower here and the service was lovely. We were accommodated nicely and also the food was great. Highly recommend for a cozy and relaxing vibe .

03/08/2025: Good food but a very sparse place. A lot of choice though

26/07/2025: If this Chinese takeaway was any better, I’d propose to it. Every single dish is very good, crispy, flavorful, and made with so much care. Myself and my wife were here for holiday staying in the Fitz caravan park. I have to say, the bad reviews of this place here on google is so fake. Otherwise there has been huge improvement because i couldnt recommend this place enough. The crispy chilli beef absolutely beautiful with a perfect balanced between sweet, spicy, and crunchy. The salt and chilli chips are so addictive. Portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the owner and counter girls are such genuine beautiful people always chatty and friendly and carry a smile that could cure depression. The food arrives piping hot, even when delivered, and every bite tastes like it was made fresh because it was. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you’re doing yourself a disservice. It’s not just the best Chinese takeaway in town it’s the kind of place that ruins all other takeaways for you. 10/10, no notes, just pure deliciousness. 🥢🔥

22/10/2025: Delivery speed was bloody lovely. Food was bloody lovely. Overall very bloody lovely

22/10/2025: The tofu and the chips were cooked perfectly, and tasted amazing. The delivery was super quick, and the driver was friendly. New favourite Chinese takeaway. Definitely recommend.

31/08/2025: They don’t serve food anymore, it feels dark and depressive

09/09/2025: The range of flavors is great for instant noodles. Missing a few things. But if you're looking to cook Asian food, you can't go wrong here. Pricing is a bit funky as most things are priced but others aren't. Id try sticking to the procedure items

21/07/2025: Nice experience , you can get mostly all grocery , spices & nice shop

10/09/2025: Kind staff, has an upstairs seating which I love and I always come for the berry refresher, wish they’d supply more of that pasta though, but it’s amazing and I’d recommend going for a quiet place to relax and hang out or to get some work done.

02/08/2025: Under staffed and those that were on were dirty looking and rude. Cappuccinos are served with chocolate. Don’t act as if it’s an inconvenience! Tables filthy. Would not use the toilets as manky.

16/10/2025: I'd been passing by for a couple of years, wondering, as always, what else could surprise me... We had a kebab meal. It was delicious, the portion was large, the spices were just right, and there was plenty of meat. We finished the whole thing on our second try.

14/09/2025: Food is lovely could not fault them, there was no option for cheese on a chip butty, young lad rang them no problem, only sorry I did not order more

04/11/2025: Love the food here! Staff lovely and friendly too.

05/10/2025: Big portions, delicious food. Very affordable best staff ever !

03/10/2025: the slowest service I've ever had. It seems like the employees don't care about serving the customer

26/09/2025: 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.

12/08/2025: Shit food didn’t bring the pizza I wanted would not give us back the the money but we spent 160€ on food and forgot a pizza and would not deliver it back out would not recommend this take away

02/08/2025: Fresh pizza made to order and real chips. Very good.

30/09/2025: Really tasty fish and chips and friendly staff

28/08/2025: Ordered food at 9.30, 10 to 11 and still no sign of food. Took money from the app and no delivery.

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

26/08/2025: Genuinely the rudest people I have ever encountered, food is awful too. Could do with a health and safety check

23/06/2025: The staff were very nice and friendly. The food was delicious. Nothing to complain about.

17/10/2025: Taco chips very poorChewy chips. Over sauced. Very little meat. This is my 3rd time eating here. Gave it 2 too many chances.

14/07/2025: Sorry to say but the kebab just the worst ever .. Would hard to belive to selling that meat to customers..Fully loaded with ketchup .. The meat was like leftover don't know how was heated up but taste like very tired oil from depp fryer or dirty grill.. So sad.. Never again..

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!
