The best restaurants in Waterford

21/12/2025: Waited 35 mins on a breakfast . Asked for fried tomatoes and about Twenty half cherry tomatoes came with my egg !! We drank of coffees well before we got our food . Asked for more coffee to go with our breakfast and got charged for it . Staff would need a wake up call . Not talking orders properly listening to other tables . A pity because it’s a nice setting but won’t be coming back here any time soon . 👎.

09/04/2026: Been here before in 2024 and the food was lovely. Not the case today we ordered fish and chips it was disgusting! Sloppy fish in bright yellow sloppy batter. Didn't eat it because I didnt want to be ill. I can safely say it was the worst meal I have ever had!

08/05/2026: Best Chinese in town by a mile 👏

16/12/2025: Called here today for lunch. While waiting for my husband, I asked a staff member if she could bring me a coffee, clearly holding my walking stick. Before I finished explaining that my husband was joining me and would order our food, she rudely told me "no you will have to go to the counter". Some service this. Obviously, I left the premises feeling quite embarrassed. Shop local they said!

10/11/2025: I recommend the restaurant the pantry Roscommon me my husband really enjoy it it’s our forth time visiting it and no regrets. Worth the price very delicious food and the service are kind and fast aswell,the place is beautiful.

06/04/2026: We went a group of 35 people. Booked in advance. This was the second time we did this as it worked so well previously. Everyone enjoyed their food. Service was amazing as were the staff. No complaints at all. The manager was extremely helpful when booking, we gave a deposit as we had booked so many tables, no issues getting our deposit back on the day. All in all, highly recommend this restaurant!

17/03/2026: The lady at the till was so kind!

21/04/2026: You don't know what you are missing!! As a visitor to Waterford, we greatly enjoyed our meal at Eddie Rockets. Loved the Retro Decor - lots of good memories. A very good play list that we could hum along to. Service was professional and friendly. The food was top quality. Haven't had such a tasty burger in a long time. Just the way we like it - bun was crispy inside, the patty was grilled to perfection, and could taste the cheese. Even the French fries couldn't be faulted. Spotlessly clean throughout. Will definitely visit again when we are in the area again. Well done!

19/03/2026: Service with a smile great food what more could you ask for really kind server great

30/04/2026: Great food and really friendly staff. You can bring your iwn wine.

24/04/2026: The food quality was very disappointing, and the portion size was even worse. I ordered lamb vindaloo, but it was mostly potatoes with a bit of gravy—hardly any lamb at all. Definitely not worth it.

30/11/2025: What a find!. Best test of a restaurant is to order vegetarian options,which I did. (Im a carnivore) They were beautifully prepared, full of flavour and very satisfying. Lovely wine list. Place was very busy but service was flawless. Enjoy

17/11/2025: We had planned this dinner for weeks and arrived dressed formally, hoping for a nice evening. One member of our group had more to drink than the rest, but the most dramatic moment from our side was him repeating a question during ordering. There were no raised voices, no comments directed at staff, and no disruption of any kind. It was simply a mildly tipsy lad trying to decide between mash or chips. Despite this, the staff seemed convinced we were about to stage a full-scale riot. Service became unusually tense very quickly, and the passive-aggressive highlight of the night was receiving a takeaway dessert box with an angry face drawn on it. Nothing says “fine dining” quite like a doodle that looks as though it was done by a bored child in a maths class. When we politely asked what the issue was, we received no explanation at all. We were given only vague references to “inappropriate behaviour,” although nobody seemed able to describe what that behaviour actually was. We left confused but ready to move on. I was not even going to leave a review. My friend had already shared his experience, and that was going to be the end of it. However, after reading the owner’s public response, which was full of sweeping accusations without specifics and included the particularly theatrical claim that our table “should have been asked to leave at the first instance of the behaviour,” I felt the need to clarify what actually happened. If that is truly what they believed, I genuinely wish they had said something at the time. We would have happily gone somewhere else and spared everyone whatever imaginary crisis they thought was unfolding. To clarify our experience: • No inappropriate comments were made. • No one spoke to staff disrespectfully. • No disturbance occurred at any point. • Staff raised absolutely no concern with us during the meal. • When we asked directly, no explanation was provided. • All accusations afterward were vague and unverifiable. If the restaurant genuinely believes something inappropriate occurred, they are welcome, at last, to specify exactly what it was. They did not do so on the night, and they have not done so since. The only inappropriate behaviour we witnessed came from the staff, not the guests. We will not be returning, and I sincerely hope the next group’s greatest offence is not asking the same question twice.
