The best restaurants in Waterford

12/04/2026: Food was delicious, southern fried chicken like it should taste like

15/03/2026: Friendly staff & quick service!

01/09/2025: When you order coffee, they bring you whatever you want. I ordered a frappe and they brought you a latte👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

31/08/2025: Very cool food, beautiful place, and very nice communicate with workers staff!!! Recommended!!!👍👍👍

02/08/2025: Very slow service. Went to find someone after 10 minutes. Only to find d my table was given away

18/07/2025: A cocktail bar like you'd dream of. Nice, quiet ambiance, pleasant music, polite bartenders. The bar is a bit hidden, it was quiet, and it definitely deserves more visitors. Fair prices, good service, and first-class signature cocktails.

21/10/2025: Very friendly and welcoming staff! We had hot chocolate and wonderful brownies! Highly recommended!

20/10/2025: Staff went out of their way to accommodate me with my toddler. They moved furniture around, gave us a window seat to keep him entertained, brought out colouring pages and gave him a free chocolate treat. My only criticism of Carter's is the paper cups and plates but I will be returning again as it is definitely a family friendly cafe. Nice coffee also.

15/05/2026: Zero customer service. Two of us came in: one bought a meal from them, the other brought their own food. Instead of showing basic hospitality to a paying customer’s companion, the staff rudely kicked the second person out. Petty rules and a pathetic attitude. Avoid this place.

12/05/2026: Cosy place to sit down & relax with great food and fantastic staff. Highly recommend. Be back again soon

12/05/2026: I think probably the the best in fast food

05/05/2026: Was there today for lunch with my two boys, staff were 100%

08/06/2026: Best coffee and pastry I've ever had in Waterford

26/03/2026: I'll start off with the owner has the right to refuse I currently drive from Kildare one day a week to see my old man in hospital so juggling with a remote work day and pop on or out a few times. Not the story just context. I'm doing a few hours in coffee shops and have used blackfriars as coffees decent and bright space. The female barista has been so nice. I stay about 3 hours or so, emails and calls you know what most remote humans do Spend normally about 20+ quid each time for the past 4 or 5 weeks, today maybe 14-15 quid. I normally get a bap too. Arrived at 10:15 ish left 1:45 ish. I was leaving today and what looks like the owner told me "you're not welcome to use the shop as an office" I may have been loud while on a call which ok I get, but could have ask me to stop or be quieter, but he went straight to "you're not welcome" I find it mad as the shop is not that busy and light on customers sitting in most days. He didn't ask the screaming 3 year old they are running riot, they are not welcome, or the couple screaming with laugher... I probably spent the same if not more than them. OTT move tbh. Pity your staff are sound, coffee decent and was helpful as I juggle work and seeing my dad. Quiet a sad little man. I'm better off.

15/05/2026: got chips they tasted like the oil hadn’t been changed and tasted like eggs so went down to replace them and was told they wouldn’t remake a new batch and i’d have to have them from the same batch i agreed to be easy and on the second bag we got halfway through then they started tasting oily and eggy again very disappointed.

12/05/2026: food was decent, left me a chicken tender short, my friend was waiting 25 mins for food and my other friends waited longer for a milkshake. this is a joke and a piss take and i think they need to step up their game. nothing fast about this fast food, i tell you that for free.

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

21/06/2026: We ordered biryani and tandoori, and the experience was disappointing from start to finish. We waited over 40 minutes with no update or response from the staff. When the food finally arrived, the biryani lacked any authentic Indian flavour and tasted nothing like a proper biryani. The tandoori was extremely hard and seemed far from fresh. I've eaten at many Indian restaurants, but this was by far one of the least authentic experiences. Neither dish tasted remotely Indian, which makes me question why this place is even marketed as an Indian restaurant. Poor service, poor food quality, and definitely not worth the wait.

24/04/2026: Very impressed with this restaurant. The food is homely and authentic. Really delicious and the prices are amazing!

03/02/2026: Very hit and miss. Rice, noodles, veg ok but meat whether beef or chicken is inedible. It's like jelly, just weird. I'm going to try to attach a pic of the beef. I ate the veg but just could not eat this.

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

12/05/2026: I think probably the the best in fast food

12/12/2025: Why is this place getting 4/5 stars? Buy elsewhere..esp during the week! So he is happy 😊 Fri-Sun (drunken days/hours of fast food) try order during the week 🤢

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

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