The Italian Bakery
Waterford
10/07/2025: Was looking forward to trying this place for lunch so invited a colleague, we were left standing at the counter for 15 minutes before the girl even took our order. I asked for the roasted vegetable toastie and was told that they didn't have any. It was on the menu so I asked "can't you make one?" And was met with a shrug of sher shoulders.
I then asked what was in the sourdough rolls on display at the counter, she answered "ham and cheese" I asked, "what type of of cheese?" since the menu had varying sandwiches with pecorino or scammorza etc. And I wondered if the ham she referred to was cooked ham or prosciutto crudo. She replied, "Oh, I wouldn't know that"
I gave up and asked for one of those, i then asked if I could get some tomato on it, she said, "they are all pre-made".
I asked, "well, do you not have any ingredients here? No tomatoes? Couldn't you chop one up and add some?"
Which, to me, did not seem an unreasonable request, In an "Italian" place, tomatoes being the cornerstone of Italian cuisine.
She shrugged again. So I paid for my coffee and sandwich and asked for a glass of water. She said, "sit down and I'll drop everything down to you. Another 10 minutes passed and she brought our food to our table. Cooked ham and still not sure about the cheese. No glass of water!
I went back to the counter and asked for two glasses of water, (one for my colleague) she handed me one, I said
"sorry, I asked for two glasses" and was met with a sigh. Then she proceeded to argue with another customer because they didn't take their table number to their table, before getting the second glass.
Anyone can have a bad day but she clearly wasn't very good at her job and didn't want to be there.
Maybe I should lower my expectations, but was quite disappointing. The most Italian things about this place were the imported Italian pasta products displayed on the shelves.
You'll find more variety and staff knowledge of the offerings (and get a warmer welcome) at a deli counter in any convenience store chain.
10/05/2025: Coffee served in paper cups instead of mugs.even though we ordered on the site.

Chinatown Waterford-takeaway
Waterford
21/06/2025: Food came within 15 mins of ordering which wasn’t a good thing since was clearly taken out of the freezer and microwaved. €35 for 2 4 in 1s and ribs and they weren’t even cooked fresh. Food tastes like the freezer it’s blatantly obvious the freezer burn on the chicken. Super disappointing waste of money

McDonald's
Waterford
23/06/2025: overall mcdonald’s is a great establishment and has very tasty food. in this particular restaurant the people can be extremely ignorant and some workers can be very rude towards customers and aren’t pleasant to be around.
21/06/2025: It's beyond me that absolutely NEVER, not once, we place the order with either of McDonald's in a town and actually got what we ordered. Last weekend kids slept over and spent nearly 100 euro, half of it was missing and this weekend exactly the same. Please employ capable people because at the moment non of you are capable to do your job !

Market Bar
Waterford
20/05/2025: Bad establishment. A big clique full of anti-Irish bullies who don't like real Irish people.
They do love fake Irish people though who talk nonsense. Says it all when there own bouncer who back completely for bullying Irish people.
Stay clear if you want a real Irish experience go down to the Mansion House or over to the hub much better. Better pints of Guinness and all drinks in general. Overall better service, food, drink and treatment elsewhere.
19/04/2025: Great bar with excellent staff :)

McCarthy's Chipper
Tramore
14/07/2025: Ate from here yesterday the 13th July and me and my dad got food poisoning...so so sick please avoid
05/07/2025: The pictures on the menu do not reflect the actual food you get. For example, the quarter pounder is shown to have salad inside it, but in truth, you only get a burger bun, a disappointing beef patty, and quite a surprising amount of raw onion. The chips have salt dumped on them in one spot. Instead of Coke zero, you might get handed a regular Coke, that doesn't even taste like Coke. Overall, a very unpleasant experience.

Abrakebabra
Waterford
30/06/2025: I have ordered crispy falafel at Waterford shopping centre and there are lot of issues
1) Its too expensive, it cost 9:50 euros for such a small falafel roll .
2) I do not think it was falafel, Seems they made small pieces of veggie burger and call it falafel, which did not taste good at all ,
3) They have put too too much sauce in it , i guess it was either taco sauce or garlic sauce, it was just giving taste of the sauce and nothing else.
4) I went with other of my friends they all said the same thing.
It was very bad experience, i am done with Abrakababra , will never go there again
04/06/2025: Had food from AbraKebabra Waterford city shoppingcentre. I had AbraKebabra from several other locations and it was always a pleasant experience but this one was a complete let down. The staff itself was very unhappy when we gave the order. Food was very poorly made. There was hardly any meat left. Very few pieces on the top. No taste at all. The man on the till itself is a let down. Avoid this place at any cost.
