REVIEWS COQBULL

  I came here for dinner with my boyfriend. I started with bbq wings. And my god they did not disappoint. They were delicious and sticky. Absolute heaven. My boyfriend got... read more the new churro as a starter. Which is essentially a taco bowl on a churro. Not only does it look really fun it also tastes delicious. We both got burgers as mains. Now the burgers were the things we were most looking forward to. They were really really really good. The meat was juicy. The sauce was perfect. And just as i like it, it had loads of veggies as toppings. When it came to drinks, the raspberry mojito did not match the accompanying food. Maybe it would be nice on a hot summer day as a light cocktail but most defiantly not the best with dinner. On the topic of drinks, i was very disappointed that they have no cider on draft! I was forced to get it in a bottle which is a bit of a bummer since we've all been waiting for the promised pints as a nation. But overall, the food is gorgeous the staff can be a bit obnoxious but they weren't to name that night as it was very very quiet. Overall a nice experience most deftly will be returning (especially for the wings).

  We booked online having seen great reviews. Unfortunately our experience was not good. We ordered large wings and they arrived absolutely smothered in a ridiculous amount of sauce, most likely... read more to disguise the dry wings underneath. I had the Coq ranch burger which was just bland unseasonal chicken. All the food was barely even warm nevermind hot.
We were sat at a booth that was near the door. A waiter was drying off cutlery and very noisy firing them into a cutlery tray that was directly behind our seat.
I would not eat here again!

  Food was just what we needed and the service was incredible! Our server Rashi was polite and prompt. Really warm atmosphere!

  We made our reservation at one of our trusted casual dining favourites in Cork. Having been there on a recent visit to Cork in late September we anticipated more of... read more the same - that was an assumption too far.
I noticed a change in kitchen staff as we walked in and took our seats, that was swiftly followed by a much reduced menu with some stalwarts missing. Waiting staff appeared not particularly well organised but what followed was shocking.

I decided upon a starter and that was an indication that the kitchen had lost the plot. The bbq wings were smothered in a quite disgusting dark brown gloop disguising quite horribly cooked wings - chewy glutinous skin, quite awful. I didn’t eat them all, leaving half and hiding the remainder under the napkin to avoid the recurring desire to retch. The main course was utterly embarrassing - a Luke warm chicken breast that had very evidently been pre-cooked and insufficiently re-heated before being thrown in a cold chewy bog-standard bun and completely devoid of flavour.

So, a meal that bad, why the 1 star - the IPA earned the lone star, something not mucked up by a kitchen devoid of talent.

What a complete waste of time. We’ve always enjoyed our trips to CoqBull and never had a less than perfect meal these past few years, but this was unforgivable, we’ll not be back. There are far too many good places in Cork city far more deserving of your cash. Whatever you did, get the chef back.
