Happened by The Spitjack and thought we would give it a try. It was a Saturday night and they were pretty busy. They were able to get us seated right away. We ordered the French onion soup, short beef ribs and pork ribs. The soup came out piping hot and not salty (a lot different than we get in Arizona). The beef short ribs were amazing! The pork ribs were tender and fell right off the bone. I also had to try the garlic mashed potatoes. They were the best I've ever had. Great experience and great service. read more

Loved this restaurant! We visited last week and had comfortable seats upstairs with a cool view of the interior. The server was nice and service was quick. The food was phenomenal. I had the chicken croquettes and duck two ways. read more

Very good food and the service was remarkable. We had a party of eight and some may say we are a challenge but a delightful bunch. Food came out all at once. Be aware that the menu had flat pricing which means you had to have a main with either a starter or dessert. This was not an issue for us. read more

Not sure how this restaurant is during lunch/ dinner, but cannot recommend their breakfast selection. The space and service is good, however I thought the food was mediocre and overpriced (although their drinks menu is quite inventive and I really enjoyed the latte I got). read more

We went here for brunch and it was ok. I got the golden latte which was pretty good. The brunch menu is not that amazing. I wish there was more of the roasted meats on there. It's mostly toast items. The service was good and we were seated very fast. The ambiance is pretty and much of it is Christmas themed decorated. read more

I read and saw a lot of videos on this place so even though we were eating midweek, I make a reservation for 4. I would definitely still make one if you are in a group larger than 2 as it filled up by 10AM. We started with coffees and they did have a lot of healthy juices as well. There was a mix up when we had someone order a mocha coffee and we ended up getting a rose coffee but it was still tasty, as was the tumeric latte. For our mains we got the turkish eggs, the fried halloumi with the avocado toast, the berry french toast, and the normal pancakes. Portion size was huge but meals came out quick. I will say- the food was all good but did really feel like an American spot rather than something unique. The french toast was great but could actually use a tiny bit less of the berry sauce, and the fried halloumi tasted more like a mozzerella stick than halloumi. Everything was good, do not get me wrong, but I did think if this place had a line, I am not sure it was worth the wait to eat something I could eat in NYC or DC. read more

For our last lunch in Cork, Ireland, we thought it fitting to enjoy a Sunday roast. The Spit Jack is located right in the bustling heart of Cork. We made a same-day reservation without any trouble, thanks to the restaurant's spacious two-story dining facility. We were seated on the second floor. For the Sunday roast, diners can choose either a two- or three-course fixed-price meal. My partner and I decided to share both appetizers and main courses. For appetizers, we shared vegetable soup with bread and crispy fried calamari. For our main course, we chose the roast platter: two slices of beef, pork belly, and rotisserie chicken, served with mashed potatoes, bread, and carrots. It was a hearty meal--the roasts were delicious and generously portioned for two people. The Spit Jack provided the perfect setting for a lovely farewell lunch before we returned to London. read more

After reading many of the reviews for Spitjack, we choose to come here for breakfast. I'd say that our experience was a disappointment. The service was very nice and attentive, the black tea was flavorful though the pot was small for breakfast. The ambience is nice and the restaurant was relatively full. The good was a real disappointment. It was heavy, even the vegetarian options weren't light. The veggie bap had a heavy sauce which really filled my wife even before she finished the bap. And everything was fried. The halloumi and eggs didn't indicate the Benedict sauce. This voice was a bit better but still only 'good' at best. The Americano coffee was weak and without much flavor. Frankly, I don't recommend this restaurant for breakfast. read more

we came without a reservation around noon and were seated immediately in the upstairs section. they decorated really nicely for the holidays, and the atmosphere was festive and cozy. i ordered the berry and mascarpone french toast and my partner ordered the huevos rancheros. despite how busy they were, service was fast and they gave us multiple pitchers to refill our water with when they ran dry. i really enjoyed the berry french toast; it wasn't too sweet and the mascarpone really complimented the tartness of the berries. if you're looking for traditional huevos rancheros, you won't find them here. the food was quite good, but they do serve it with beans on (albeit high quality) toast. it was too tomato-based and slightly sweet for my partner, but he could acknowledge that the food was good, just not to his tastes. the portion sizes were hearty and the food was filling. a reservation is definitely a good idea. read more

Amazing food and service. We had the Eggs Benedict which was incredible. A must visit while in Cork. read more

Great Irish breakfast. The hash brown was thick and super crispy. Very delicious. The black and white pudding were good as well

Stopped in here during a very short pit stop on a day tour to Blarney. I wanted to get off the beaten path and away from the big tourist spots, and this place fit the bill. Not only did they turn out my food in under 40 minutes, my waitress Nancy was also very accommodating when I requested a switch of bread from the usual menu. The food was good as well, I had the chicken sandwich! Ambiance was lovely and it was quite and tucked away. read more

Food was okay... the divorced eggs were very mushy textured... lots of refried beans and guacamole. My dad described it as "eating baby food". My sister had the mini jack which she enjoyed and I had the Turkish eggs which were flavorful. Maybe a little on the pricier end. The ambiance and service were both great. read more

Popped in because it was raining and this restaurant was close to where we were staying in Limerick. What a great decision! We had a delicious dinner with outstanding service. The cocktails were inventive and well made. A special call out to Eileen and Lillian for service above and beyond! read more

First you need to know that, in Ireland, especially Cork, they do not typically use Yelp. Everything is on Trip Advisor. A very good and somewhat eclectic menu, The French chicken pot pie was excellent as was the roasted Camembert. Beautiful place upstairs! Great service! read more

Wonderful, small place, had pork belly and rack of ribs and did not disappoint. Fries were good too, as well as the cocktails

There was very little service. I had the French toast & it was soggy. I wanted to ask for something but couldn't get anyone's attention. We asked for our bill with no success. We had to walk to the kitchen to pay our bill. The food was okay but the lack of service made this a very underwhelming experience. read more

Fantastic food, great service! Was packed the night we arrived and we were lucky to have secured a table. One of the best meals of our trip.

Best restaurant we hit in Ireland. Porchetta and Chicken burger were fantastic, topped off with the apple tart. 10/10 recommend. Cute atmosphere with nice staff read more

On a rainy Sunday evening after a long day of exploring, we popped into Spitjack hoping they had a free table. The hostess worked her magic and found us a place to sit quickly. The restaurant has an extensive cocktail menu, especially gin drinks, and a good selection of wine and beer. The food menu is reasonable sized and heavily weighted with pork and chicken. But it also offers numerous tempting vegetarian options. I ordered the pork empanadas to start and the rotisserie chicken for my main. McDreamy ordered the fish cake and the pork ribs for his main. We didn't talk much during the meal because we thoroughly enjoyed the food. The empanada was tasty but not too spicy. The chicken was flavorful and moist. McDreamy was very happy with his fish cake and left nothing but cleaned rib bones after finishing his main dish. The restaurant is small and cozy. The noise level was a low hum and we were able to hold a conversation before we were served the yummy dishes. The servers were friendly and attentive but not overbearing. I would certainly return for another meal during my next trip to Cork. read more

Food, service and ambiance are on point here. Their rotisserie chicken is so tender and tasty that you will want to eat it all until you are miserable. read more

Excellent food, great presentation, and staff are efficient and attentive. Decor, lighting, and even music selection is upscale and elegantly done. Upstairs area is great for groups. I had the meat tasting board along with some vegetables and they all tasted great! The dessert menu itself is worthy of its own restaurant Important note: the dinner is more high €€ maybe €€€ whereas the breakfast/brunch/lunch is closer to € or €€. Also, breakfast/brunch tends to be more Irish and dinner seems to be more French, from looking at the venue. Bathrooms: Beautifully decorated and spacious. Functional, too! read more

Quick service despite a wait to get a table, delicious food, and a fantastic cappuccino. What more could I ask for after 22 hour travel the day before. The falafel toast w/ avocado, and added poached eggs was exactly what I needed. I also appreciate that I didn't feel out of place needing a table for one, as I so often do. I'll be back again the next time work brings me to Cork! read more

Ah man, best porchetta I've ever had. Crispiest skin as well. I'm sure their chicken and ham are amazing too but I haven't tried yet. I had the porchetta meal for lunch and my wife had their Spitjack Breakfast but swapped ham w porchetta, we were both very happy. Great service, great food, a must visit in Cork. read more

Pretty decent restaurant. Was eating solo so made a reservation which was just as well. Quite a few people turned away on a busy Monday night. Worth it though. I had a main only of pork ribs and very good fries. The ribs were good too, a full rack and the meat pretty much fell off the bones. I had a bottle of Campo de Flores which was somewhat spoiled by being served effectively at room temperature. A side order of a glass of ice resolved this problem but still.... Overall, a positive experience. Recommended. read more

Haven't had many 5 star meals during our trip to Ireland but our visit to Spitjack this evening was outstanding. Our group had either the pork ribs or chicken Caesar salad. All agreed that the food was excellent. Service was great also. Highly recommend. read more

Awful service! Got seated immediately and then ignored for 15 min. Not even a "hello" or a "I'll be right with you". After catching the attention of two servers, they looked away. Finally, we walked out! Too bad as we will never recommend this place to anyone visiting! I wouldn't even give it 1 star! read more

Came here with a friend while visiting Cork city, and I was not disappointed. The interior is really nice and cozy, yet modern. We were seated right away upon entering, and the server immediately brought us waters and menus. I went for the Rose latte, as it sounded amazing, and I ordered the Salmon eggs benedict. The latte was truly delicious, with a lovely Turkish delight flavor, while the benedict was one of the best I've ever eaten. We decided to go for dessert, and I tried the lemon posset - this was not the greatest I've ever eaten, but definitely worth a try. Overall, good service, tasty food and coffee. Worth a visit while you are in the city! read more

Had a long day & simply wanted a great cocktail & dinner one evening. This place took me & my boyfriend right away & fed us some of the best food we'd had on this trip. It's worth every eurofor the food & drinks here. The atmosphere is intimate, cozy & warm. All of the things I also look for that compliments the delicious food & cocktails. I am beyond full & grateful for great staff & experience here. I cannot wait to come back some day. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality! read more

The food was good, but inattentive wait staff and getting relegated to the upstairs was less than ideal. In my opinion, a lot of overhyped BS and I'd go elsewhere the next time. read more

If you come in for lunch, right now they are running a special for 10 euro. It includes a half sandwich with soup, tea and an absolutely wonderful dessert! I'd highly recommend this spot because the prices are affordable but the quality of the food is high class. I went here twice when I was in Cork because I just loved it so much! It is a must visit in town! read more

This was our "plan B" but we were happy that our original plan didn't work out! One of the best meals we had in Ireland. Service was incredible and atmosphere was perfect. Entrees were 10/10- rotisserie chicken, falafel Burger, chicken Caesar salad, fish cakes, chicken burger. Portions were good size and served Promptly. Nice wine selection. You can call Ahead for reservation. read more

Fantastic breakfast with reasonable prices! I had the Spitjack Original - a classic eggs benedict - and it was simple perfection with a made-to-order iced coffee and fresh-squeezed oj to boot. My date enjoyed a veggie-based array of eggs, tomatoes, peppers, and spreads, and the only thing he wasn't sure of was the halloumi, but neither of us had had it before so can't be a fair judge. Would absolutely recommend for a bright & fresh, beautiful & unassuming breakfast spot. read more

The Spitjack - Spitjack Original - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cork, Colorado

This restaurant looks small but has multiple floors so we were able to get a seat quickly even on Friday night. The portions are HUGE so keep this in mind. My friend and I each got three courses and were nearly bursting at the end, but it was well worth it. We both got the goat cheese souffle to start, which was interesting and tasty. I had the ribs, which were divine, but as mentioned the portion for the main course was very big. I had the raspberry cheesecake for dessert which had a unique texture but was very tasty. My friend ordered the rhuburb crumble which was enough for three people. The cocktails are also unique and tasty. I had the caskmates which reminded me of a holiday drink and my friend got the porn star margarita which came with a clever presentation. I highly recommed this spot for dinner in cork! read more

Had a nice brunch at the Spitjack. Excellent meal. Service was excellent. Nice attentive staff and super friendly. I had the pancakes, bacon, and maple syrup. Bacon was the star. It's incredible when you can get good crispy bacon in Cork. This was on par with some of the best bacon I've had in the US. The pancakes were ok, not great. They weren't bad but they were too thin. In between a crepe and a thick fluffy pancake. It's like it decided to be a fun full figured pancake but half way through the cooking, they had a change of heart and decide to be a crepe. Pick one please. Otherwise the flavor was ok. Some of the Eggs Benedict dishes looked amazing. Will try those next tome. read more

Wonderful fun restaurant. Great food and service. The menu is very varied and the quality of the food is excellent.

Great value in the lunch time menu. A lovely roast and dessert for €14. Really nice decor inside and very friendly staff. I came for thr chicken but I will return for the pork, it looks amazing. Best roast potatoes I've ever had, hand on heart. read more
