Great location and view of the water. The food was ok but not anything too remarkable unfortunately. Our service was a bit slow too especially since we were only 1 of 3 tables in the restaurant. read more

Food and beer at this restaurant were very good. We liked it so much we went back twice and had the same waitress help us. Tried the fish and chips and Irish stew. Good atmosphere and service. Does get busy but there is a bar to sit at while waiting for table to open. read more

First off, the host and waitresses here are amazing. So friendly and professional. Our family ate at The Quays twice during our time in Cobh. High quality food, great pints, and right on the water. read more

Came in for lunch after doing the titanic walking trail. Service was AMAZING. Lunch however had mixed reviews. I had the fish and chips and it was beyond greasy. The grease almost squirted out of the fish when you cut into it. The My husband had the prawn salad and that was absolutely delicious. I'm giving it four stars because of the service. I'd come back and have the prawn salad for sure. read more

The service was all right but the ambiance was cute! We waited a little long for food but they have a nice drink collection. Right on the water so you have a great view, with a deck too. The opinion on the food was varied, the pasta being the worst and the chicken fajita being the best. Overall pretty good! read more

The Quays - Fettuccine Italiano (do not recommend) - Irish Near Me - Cobh, Colorado

Food was unimpressive. Watery soup and bland sandwiches, but the service was the true letdown. VERY inexperienced and unhelpful server. Very slow and unhelpful. Are we having problems hiring and retaining wait staff? There are many better places in Cobh read more

Having lunch here today. The combo chowder and sandwich is wonderful! Two whole sandwiches and an amazing bowl of fish chowder. The fajita chicken wrap was very good and a nice change of pace. Prompt service and lovely view. read more

There are not too many places to eat waterside in Cobh so we were pleased to find The Quays. Good service, very tasty Prawns Pil-Pil (which I had as a main) but limited and somewhat pricey menu. read more

Good location on the water and friendly service. Food and drinks were alright, a little overpriced for what it was.

Fish chowder. Hake salmon and cod......big chunks, all tasty. On the water. Friendly service. Recommend

Beautiful view of the ocean and great food selection. Reasonable price and friendly staff.

The food was great and I love it. The Service was not that good they do take a while I waited 25 minutes for a drink while I was eating. The aumbiance is amazing. read more

First time here, honestly, extremely disappointed. The food was great but the service was horrendous. I won't ever recommend.

Great food! The shrimp start was delicious. My daughter loved the kids fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding. The staff was very kind!

My drink was good & the view was lovely but there is a camera in the women's bathroom by the sink. The manager said it's in the women's and not the men's due to the concern of water on the floor and that it's only pointing at the sinks but you can see the camera from 2 stalls read more

Went back to The Quays after a prior visit a year and a half ago and I was once again impressed by the quality and depth of the lunch menu. As I mentioned in my original review, most lunch items are less than 10 EUR, and if you're only interested in sandwiches, then you're only talking 5-6 EUR. The outdoor patio offers one of the best views of the water, and on days like today it affords you the luxury of seeing off a departing cruise ship! read more

Having a hard time thinking about how to rate this place. We came in on the first weekend back from their renovations. We had no idea, as we're not from around here, until we were paying. So first I'll rate as if we didn't know that and how we felt throughout the meal.... the service was very slow and the food was extremely bland. At least for my husband and I. My parents said their seafood chowder was great but the pizza was pretty terrible. However, I need to be honest... we're from the New York/ New Haven area. -- pizza is our thing. Anyways, food was disappointing. Now... rating based on what I know now.... the place is beautiful and will be amazing on a nice warm day to sit outside with a few drinks and some snacks. Based on the food I'd have, id recommend some apps. However, service was slow but they were trying! read more

THE QUAYS You may arrive at the Quays Bar and restaurant in Cobh by car, on foot, by train or by boat. The establishment has its own pontoon. It also has a decking area, part of it under cover, so you can take in the harbour views as you dine. Called in there at the weekend, by car, and enjoyed a decent afternoon cup of coffee, a large one (with wrapped biscuit) that cost €2.50. The inside bar area looks clean and comfortable and service was efficient and helpful and smiles all round. We took the coffee on the decked area, took our time and watched as one of the cruise liners left the nearby Deepwater Quay. You won't get views like this at too many restaurants, though one in Venice, where I enjoyed the local "green" sardines, springs to mind. I haven't sampled the fine cuisine in The Quays yet but Saturday's experience suggests that it should be up to scratch. You can see the menu and prices on the website and they also have specials. Saturday's Specials included Soup at €4.50 and main courses ranging from Pan Fried Sea Bass with White Wine Sauce at €20.95 to Black Sole on the bone with a caper/butter sauce at €27.95. read more

Really impressed with the Quays. Despite the cruise liner having departed two hours earlier staff were really accommodating. Two of our party were running late but the chef was happy to wait. The wait was well worth it. 7 different orders and everyone was very happy. From a Hugh Cod portion to the perfect lamb shank and the beef salad the food was Devine and well presented. Interior is not fancy but the view over the harbour says it all. We'll be back. read more

Good food, centrally located, and beautiful view. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that the dinner menu was a little limited.

Tons and tons of outdoor seating is the real draw here, including a covered and heated section for chilly Irish nights. Food was OK; the spicy burger was clearly made from a frozen and preformed patty, and the server said she could not safely take a temperature below well-done. The cheese, jalapeño, and BBQ sauce made up for it somewhat. Fries were good, because Ireland. We also ordered the goat cheese salad, which featured nasty little pucks of pastry-wrapped cheese and a decent pile of greens. Service was a bit erratic, but it was a sleepy, no-ship-in-town night so I'm sure we didn't get the A team. In what seems to be a Cobh-wide trend, wines by the glass took the form of crummy airplane mini-bottles. read more

A favorite spot for the freshest fish and chips around. Just a little walk away from the main area is this find.

There is something special about this place....I have been to this bar twice now during my trips to Ireland and I just love it! We were lucky and hit fantastic weather both times, which makes the outdoor patio a great place to enjoy a pint. I suspect it's a happenin' spot in the summer time, as they have an outdoor grille. The view from the patio and the bar is very relaxing and it makes you just love Ireland all the more. They make a fantastic Irish Coffee and the bartender actually went back into the kitchen for about 5 minutes just to freshly whip the cream for my hot toddy. Great service! Short walk from the Cobh Heritage Center - a great way to sit back and talk about the Irish Emigration you've just learned about! read more

The Quays - Lovely view from the outdoor patio - Irish Near Me - Cobh, Colorado

Poor service... Would stop back every 15 minutes and if you asked for something it would take that long to get! Food blah... Took a local word that it was good... Won't make that mistake again. read more

I had a great meal about a month ago with my family. We had great steak and wine, the desserts were super. The nice weather made eating outside great. The staff are friendly and very helpful which to me is a huge plus as I hate bad service. I will for sure bring my friends to this bar in this part of the country on my next visit. read more
