The best restaurants in Waterford

11/10/2026: Very nice bar, friendly staff, atmosphere and cleanliness at the highest level

23/09/2026: Great experience ordering from Revolution - friendly staff, excellent communication and incredible whiskey selection

18/06/2026: I had lunch here for the first time yesterday and I think it’s now my favourite place! The pies are incredibly tasty, there’s a good selection of food and the staff are so friendly! I also found out that it’s a real local café with a long history, which makes me respect the place and its owners even more. One of the nice perks – and probably one of the most important ones – is that you get a proper, tasty lunch, just like at home, for a modest price 😻

19/02/2026: I go here regularly for my lunch and i must say the the food and staff are all amazing. Fantastic value for a fresh and delicious selection of cold and hot meals to suit your mood.

18/09/2026: Food is grand, pints and staff are great! Could really do with sorting the ladies toilet out though 😭

06/09/2026: Went here in August and despite it being busy we managed to get a table that had previously been reserved. Good variety on menu and I had the roast beef. A huge and generous portion well worth the money. Only negative aspect was the waitress attitude, could do with being more friendly.

06/09/2026: Excelent food.great value,children,s playground secure and safe.A great place to dine or relax for all the family.

23/08/2026: It was my first time at Jack Meade's and I have to say with everything I had previously heard of the place, I was disappointed. Let's start with the good, it has to be the location and the kids amenities. We have 3 year old twins and they loved the play area, the animals were a very close second. The play area is fully enclosed and it's easy to keep an eye on the kids. The mediocre would unfortunately have to be the food, they were serving carvery on the Sunday we were there. We got 2 roast beet at €19 each and 2 kids sausages and mash at €7.50 each. Everything was cold when we got the food back to the table and the gravy was just thick with no flavour. The portion size was fine but that is simple because of the times we live in. 5 years ago I would have been asking, were is the rest for that price. Finally we come to the service which was the biggest disappointment that I've ever seen. For a very successful business in the food industry it was highly unorganized and very difficult for us to get any information about what we were meant to be doing. Large sections were reserved and there was no one directing people as to were was available. Once we did find a table, we then started the 25 minute queue where we had to pay for food first, which isn't an issue if we had been informed that this was the opportunity to remove any items we wouldn't like. Once we handed over our docket to the severs, it was take what your given and be happy with it. Our table was in the bar area and I have to say the staff here were very helpful and nice to deal with. Maybe we found the staff on an off day or what appeared to be a well known family food establishment that was under staffed and struggling with the numbers coming in the door. There was a level of expectation and unfortunately Jack Meades did not meet it.
