REVIEWS COQBULL

  the coq and bull is in reality 3 stars but i am giving it 4 as the food is always great, the atmosphere is good and the staff are always... read more nice and friendly and so efficient. there is a great range of burgers here, always beautiful. i brought my mother here who is elderly and fussy enough. she had a pizza and loved it. she even went back a 2nd time. lovely cocktails too.

  Myself and two friends visited the restaurant as we had heard that Coqbull did great affordable food. The food was great however the service was substandard. We were served by... read more a woman with glasses, she kept on rushing us to finish our food and approached us to pay the bill before we even started eating our dessert. One of my friends made it known in a polite manner that we hadn’t had the chance to look at the bill but she just stood at the foot of the table with the card machine as we calculated what we each owed. This made us feel quite uncomfortable and as if we were being kicked out. We booked the table for quarter to 8 and we were being rushed out by half 9. Wouldn’t go there again because of the poor experience with the server, the other staff seemed friendly enough but this server seemed as though she wanted to rush people out to finish early and didn’t seem to care too deeply about our dining experience.

  Have eaten here many times , however this time was incredibly disappointing. Ordered my usual burger through click and collect service 38 minutes prior , to have to then wait... read more at the door for the food that I received, was quite frankly a joke . The standard of the burger most certainly did not match the price .
To pay €15 for a meal that I could make better myself is insulting and left me questioning if I revived the correct order . To be charged that price for a mediocre meal is obnoxious , especially given the current climate . The quality of both service and standard needs to seriously be reconsidered . Also to note was the lack of offering of napkins and cutlery , it’s a click and collect service ! Unprofessional service to say the least .

  For something so simple, I don't know how they got it wrong. I've had better food from frozen, and I think this food is from frozen too. There is no... read more love in the food, no flavour, watery gravy and tastes preserved. The dessert is shocking, don't even bother.

The staff deserve a medal and are all lovely, very attentive. My review is based on the lack of flavour, incorrectly cooked food or the chefs, but I'm fairly sure the chefs don't do any cooking at all with how fast the rubbery food came out from the microwave.

  Came here because of the gluten free options and reviews. We really enjoyed the food and cocktail. Service was excellent all the staff were very friendly. A member of staff... read more (we think it was the manager) went out of their way to come over to our table and ask how our meals were for us. Will be returning.

  Title says it all really went there tonight. Chips tasteless and unseasoned. Chicken was dry. Gravy flavourless.

Partner ate two halloumi fritters. Left her full portion of chips behind,... read more and her popcorn chicken which she said tasted like oven food you'd buy from a grocery store. Mojito tasted like water with a hint of rum. Soda water must have being flat and the rum didn't make it into the drink.

Being the last night of our trip to cork it was great to finish on a low point.

Only decnet thing was the staff were friendly.

  Went here with my girlfriend and our friend today (the friend is from Cork) and honestly had one of the worst culinary experiences of my life.

I ordered... read more the "Coq box" which we all thought had a funny name.... that is unfortunately where the fun stopped. Walking by the restaurant one would assume they served nice food, from the "voted corks best restaurant sign", still struggling to find out who voted because they were so so wrong. The Coq box was an arrangement of a butterfly fried chicken piece and chips. The chicken was the driest thing I've ever eaten and there was absolutely no flavour to it at all. The chips were okat but if they had managed to mess up chips I would've up and left.

My girlfriend ordered popcorn chicken which was also dry and tasteless and had a side of taco chips which after one bite you wouldn't even feed a dog.

Our friend got the full Irish pizza and as far as pizzas go it was a novelty but the base was very very tough and burnt and was just an unpleasant foundation for the rest of the pizza.

The service was very very slow although the servers were nice. Which may be the only redeeming factor.

I would honestly give them 0 stars if I could it was that dreadful.

I would avoid at all costs if you're ever in Cork and see this coqbull.

  Table for 10, four children, you could customise your order nothing was too much trouble. Our waitress Aisling was very friendly and take good care of us.

Great selection... read more of food and drink. Always very nice. I had a burger, it was the best one I’ve had in ages.

  Highly recommend - staff and food was excellent

Price-wise we felt was very reasonable, we had 4 mains & 8 beers and paid €107, excellent valve for the quality of food
