The best restaurants in Waterford

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.

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!

25/07/2025: Not the same as it was years ago.

27/02/2025: Got chicken fillet burger and quarter pounder absolutely lovely fish was very very greasy but looked savage I'd say it needed to dry a bit more never the less the burgers definitely got a ten out of 10 well done

13/06/2025: They have the best kebabs in the whole city and further Fast services, nice customers service... 10 out of 10 👌🏼👌🏼

09/06/2025: Best value for money in Waterford always great food and quality service

30/08/2025: Great staff, tasty food, good value for money!

25/08/2025: Never ever go again. Worst Chinese food I ever ate

19/09/2025: Lovely place to eat and drink will defo be back lovely owners who run the the establishment would recommend

26/08/2025: I imagine in its hay day it was a much livelier place but now it’s just a bit sad. Stopped in for a pint to get out of the rain and they were out of Smithwicks which was disappointing. Maybe Tuesday is their delivery day? The service was fine- def not the smiling service we’ve gotten other places. Not ideal how their food is

05/09/2025: Badly indicated on map. Grubby. Just not pleasant. The food is definitely not free from gluten contaminated. I did not eat here.

30/05/2025: 18.50 for a soup and sandwich and a can of coke 🙄 complete rip off for a bit of soup and sandwich. Would have got a lovely rost dinner out in the sweep for cheaper

04/02/2025: we ordered Chicken karahi,rogan josh chicken and lamb curry all looked the same and taste the same no difference in it Not worth the money spentWould not recommend for authentic indian food. Very Very Dissatisfied

04/02/2025: Was really good food . I enjoyed the spice . Staff was really friendly and helpful 😍🥰

23/10/2025: Visited twice in Oct 2025, lunch time. The food was delicious, chicken goujons one day and the vegetarian brunch the second. Both were well presented, tasty and plentiful. The menu has lots of variety and should have something for everyone. The service was great and I was lucky to get a window seat both days. The previous visits were during Winterval and it was not a busy as then...lol...no wait for a table and a window seat, perfect. I did not take any pictures of the food before eating and an empty plate is not very exciting so the picture below is the view from the window, a lovely Waterford Walls, Our Lady of Waterford.

11/08/2025: Got a too good to go bag I had one doughnut and 2 pain au chocolate and one Portuguese custard tart All were tasty but unfortunately the pastry wasn't fresh as ot was evening but still worth to try it

18/09/2025: This is one of the best chippers in Kilkenny / Waterford. Good quality food and not dripping in grease. The prices have risen but where hasn't. Only down side is that it can be very difficult to get parking.

13/09/2025: If its chipper food you are after it's always good here!

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

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.

28/10/2025: May no child ever live to see that Donner Menu in Apache , The kebabs were smaller that my dogs left pinky . To the boss man who made that I hope ur pillow is roasting hot tonight on both sides.🙏🥀

24/10/2025: ordered food for delivery and was paying by cash. delivery driver got lost trying to find my house and when given directions still couldn’t find the house. he eventually found the house and when he did myself and my dad were at the door. he was given a €50 note as we had no other change. the man had no change in his pocket so requested that i (25yr female) walk with him to his car (even though he could have driven to my house) in order to get the change. i refused to do this and he ended up giving the money back to us and then went back to his car himself. he then drove down the back of my house to give us our change. not happy with the service at all as our food was almost cold by the time we got it and the service from the delivery driver was very bad.

30/10/2025: Sooo good! Once I tasted their pizza couldn’t go elsewhere!

23/10/2025: They eat out of people's meals before closing the tray and serving it.

24/10/2025: really bad experience, rudely treated by staff, ignorant behaviours, long waiting time

21/10/2025: Ask for a Large Taco chips, sorted.
