The best restaurants in Waterford

22/05/2026: Aaron the bouncer is a big pdf. Lifting young girls all over the place. When I called him out on it, he squared up to me. Big man Aaron

14/03/2026: My brother has additional needs due to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. While he was simply enjoying himself, dancing, and having a good time like anyone else, we were asked to leave. There was no disruption — just someone expressing happiness. Not all disabilities are visible, and situations like this highlight how important awareness and understanding are in public spaces. People with additional needs have the same right to enjoy a night out, listen to music, dance, and socialise without feeling judged or excluded. I would encourage staff and management to keep this in mind in the future and to consider disability awareness training. A little understanding can make a huge difference. I hope this feedback is taken constructively so that others with hidden disabilities are treated with the respect, dignity, and inclusion they deserve. being dragged clean out with additional needs is absolutely unacceptable and do not go if u want a good night and have a disability and you will be taken out if enjoying themselves not even one star absolute dogs in there

13/07/2026: Overly loud and overpriced, also nobody over 20 in the bar

11/07/2026: The security guard «Ivan» from Croatia behaved in a completely unacceptable and aggressive manner. He physically pushed several girls, even though there was no justification for using force. This experience made us feel unsafe and unwelcome. We expected professional behavior from the security staff, but instead we were treated with aggression and disrespect. We cannot recommend this place.

05/08/2026: Ordered online and went for collection but the girl there made me wait a long time and was not at all approachable. A kind of racist attitude. Will not visit again.

27/05/2026: Food was rather nice but decided to get a Mozie ice cream and the manager made it and filled half way and barley added topping not up to expectations and was disappointed considering the price

24/07/2026: Good old Supermacs, food never fails.

03/08/2026: My go to place for chinese cuisine. Never disappointed. Great staff there

23/06/2026: The food doesn't really taste like Asian. It arrived hot and super fast though, so I added an extra star.

16/09/2025: Closed down no notice of the door

09/09/2025: Absolutely delicious food and brilliant service. Very well priced

29/06/2026: Loved it. Proper Irish club bar. Cheap prices friendly people. Lots of sport on TV

06/05/2026: Good pub especially if u like racing plenty of telly's Bookies next door staff friendly

01/07/2026: Ordered a black Americano and they automatically added milk without asking. Wasted €4.

02/06/2026: I come here often. Very handy location. Easy drive through. I would state the drive through could do with fresh tarmac or gravel tho. I always order iced carmel latte, biscoff overnight oats and a white chocolate protein bounty bar. I would recommend these!. I see the cafe is up for best coffee spots waterford..they definitely have my vote ! I have always had lovely interactions with staff. They are polite, and appear to work well together. I've never really had a bad order or delayed order. The staff this morning Tito was a super lovely and freindly sunny person, a gem to interact with this morning. ❤️ I'd love of they did a loyalty card.

24/05/2026: Worst food I've ever tasted, owners and staff are rude

22/05/2026: Decent chipper. Shop could do with a bit of a upgrade tho. Very grubby inside.

21/04/2026: Food and service were nice. Ambience was not that great. Doesn’t feel present. But the staff were very friendly.

06/02/2026: Looking at the menu on the Sheela Palace website it indicated dosas. This is an error, they do not serve dosas. Apparently that's done at their Dublin takeaway branch. They should fix their site. Selecting the Waterford restaurant on the website and then clicking on the online ordering option, Dosas are clearly listed at the bottom. First impressions on entering were not great. The interior is drab, confused and dated. A mix of colours and decorative elements that just don't make sense. The exception is the 2 large posters on one side of the reestaurant, which are lovely. I thought, given the greatly positive reviews the food must be amazing. Unfortunately, that wasn't our experience, at least with the mains. The Paneer tikka we had as a starter was ok. Can't say the same for the rest. We ordered the Vegetarian Biryani and Shahi paneer. Had a taste of the latter and it wasn't great at all. Practically inedible tbh. The Biryani looked good though and you can see effort had been made in its preparation with lots of vegetables and nuts and other things. The taste though was again strange. I've never had a sweet Biryani. They had generously added raisins to the rice. Also, the rice was clumpy which is just a very basic thing to get wrong. On crushing the clumps, white rice was exposed. This was not a Biryani dish at all but rather a vegetarian pulau dish with raisins. Kinda like a Kashmiri pulao, but not quite. It seemed like biryani spices had been lightly mixed into the preparation to give it that distinct aroma. The flavour was lacking however. The front-of-house staff were nice. Though one lady asked every customer what specific cutlery they wanted before setting the table. Nothing wrong with that mind you, but just added to the strangeness of the experience. I suspect the non-vegetarian fare is better given the previous positive reviews from other diners but if you're a Vegetarian I would not recommend this place.

03/08/2026: Spotless clean restaurant. We were impressed as its not always the case with others Eddie Rockets. Food was also delicious.

30/06/2026: Found a bird's beak in the chicken wings. Went in for a nice meal with my partner. When he bit into one of the chicken wings, he got a mouthful of half a birds beak. We brought it to the managers attention and was very disappointed with the response. He was quite condescending, told us we were wrong and made out like it wasn't his problem. We have picture evidence of this beak. He took away the dish and charged us full price. It was disgusting and disturbing. Will stay clear of here in future.

31/07/2026: Regular customer and spend, refused to buy a curry portion because it's under 10 euro for a card. Be the last time I buy from here. Now you have lost more money

10/05/2026: Hands down lads best taco chip in town. Best in business.

29/03/2026: Food is always gorgeous from Walsh'. Got a gorgeous fish and chips tonight. Well done guys.

30/10/2025: I got a pepperoni pizza with chicken curry chips out of Hot Corner Pizza and Kebabs in Waterford City for delivery. The pizza was not up to standard, as there was a lack of cheese on the pizza and the toppings were only something from the supermarket, as they should use better quality ingredients for their pizza, because you are paying the price for good food. Also the chips weren't nice either, as they were cold on the outside and extremely hot on the inside. The chicken tastes rubbery also and the curry was mediocre, tasting like Chef or McDonnell's Curry, as you would expect better tasting curry for the price you were paying for the food. Overall, the food was not great out of Hot Corner. The service was a lot worse, because I got it delivered. First off, the delivery was late, which is not on. This shows that this restaurant is not punctual. Also I did not get an apology for the late delivery, as it is common courtesy to do so. When I collected my food from the delivery driver, he seemed a bit rude, as he did not look like he wanted to be delivering food, but still. It costs nothing to be nice. As I have not been to the restaurant itself, I am giving the atmosphere 0 starts. Hot Corner, cop yourselves on and manage your restaurant better or else you will just lose customers. Thanks.

14/10/2025: "WOW"...finally, I found a fast food place that reminds me of home, Liverpool City. I ordered the large pizza (Margherita) large donner kebab (fresh salad, tender tasty lamb meat) and chips (proper fat, chunky real potato chips), DEELISH food., and delivered for 3euro.. "The Hot Corner" Barrack St, I will not go nowhere else now... Nice one lads ... 5 Star fast food and very reasonable priced,.....15euro pizza, large donner n chips...STILL in 2025 the best
