Great spot for grub. Good staff and quality food. Tanya runs a tight ship and will look after you. A step up from your usual lunch.

J. M.

The girl on the door checking COVID cert's was very bubbly and helpful. The staff that looked after our table was also very friendly and helpful.

P. M.

M. M. C.

First time back inside dining today since pandemic. Fabulous lunch, tea and cake. Friendly and efficient staff. All COVID-19 protocols in place and implemented. Overall an excellent experience for both my young companion and me

J. R.

Ate here today, food and coffee were decent. Service was good also. Nice spot to stop off in for a slice of cake and coffee too. They offer cooking courses at certain times of the year also. Handy spot to spend an afternoon in after visiting Waterford.

J. D.

This place is amazing. The food is second to none. The staff was super friendly and fun too. I will definitely go back again very soon.

S. H.

Ideal for morning coffee, definitely recommend their homemade scone with jam & cream 👌Varied lunch time menu - soup comes with 2 massive slabs of homemade bread 😋

D. E.

Absolutely recommend!! Had the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and salad, wedges on the side 🤤 Was Soo tastey. ❤️ I'd the red velvet cake for dessert which I shared with my friend coz their portions are definitely share size. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food and service. Will definitely return.

A. A.

Management super in waterford lady manager excellent servers very efficient and covid compliant in every way. Went for breakfast only thing was breakfast was cold and plates not heated. But the good management would bring me back.

L. D.

I just love this spot. Have my Saturday morning ritual. After training, pop in for Oats and Peppermint Tea. Also LOVE their Ampersand brunch option. Which is Beetroot Humus, Avocado and Poached Eggs on toasted Sourdough. Amazing! Can get very busy between 11 & 3 so the earlier or later the better.

J. T.

Amazing quality food and very friendly, helpful staff. Can’t wait to go back.

Lovely breakfast. Happy to make me a keto version of a full Irish. 10 minute walk from Travelodge and better than ‘Rocking Joes”

J. D.

Very nice place Very quick and efficient plus great food

K. D.

Love this place. Food is unreal. Prices and fair. My favourite dish carb.

F. V.

Their pumpkin seeded brown bread is to die for 😍 Am addicted to this place, when I am in Waterford it's a must....

C. M.

The French toast made me wanna cry it was so good 🥰

M. S.

Love the place, food lovely, staff so nice,

D. H.

Delicious breakfast. Menu items not consistent across the branches though. The Ampersand is a favourite of mine from Limerick branches but it was a completely different meal in Waterford. Still tasty but not quite as good. Service attentive and friendly. Loads of parking so handy for meetups.

D. H.

We came here for breakfast with work last week and the food was amazing, great atmosphere and friendly staff. The menu is great with a very good selection, not your typical breakfast menu. It was so good that we decided to go again this week and it will probably be our go to place for breakfast or lunch when we decide to get out of the office for a break.

J. T.

Great food and service. Staff are very friendly. Just tried the afternoon tea. It was absolutely delicious. Martina is a very talented cake maker. Presentation was great too and the price is so reasonable. Would definitely recommend hook and ladder Waterford 😊

P. M.

Breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner. Staff service is top class. Manager runs an excellent restaurant. Eclectic Decor and chilled vibe. Food is to a very high standard. Highly recommended.

l. r.

I love this place and food is really tasty and amazing but as a barista with over 20 years of experience I need to say that coffee is terrible and though I always specifically ask staff for not burned and overboiled coffee that is exactly what I get. Coffee is not a tea !

A. H.

We had an excellent gluten free Full Irish Breakfast at Hook and Ladder Restaurant this morning. Fresh Rosemary saute potatoes and large mushrooms grilled were delicious. Nice friendly staff and happy atmosphere. Good value too.

p. r.

Thank you again Tonya for fitting us in with very short notice! :) I would definitely recommend this place - super tasty cakes combined with really good coffee - Staff were very friendly too!

K. R.

I had a really nice lunch in this restaurant. It's furniture is unique and original, and their food is well served. I didn't particularly like the cous cous though, everything else was delicious, even the desserts (I had a lovely hot brownie).

S. O.

+ The food is Lovely. nice building 😃 + Most of the staff were very pleasant - Wouldn't recommend visiting after 4pm cause they will be starting to close. 😐 - I was here without my other half, for a late breakfast/early lunch on a Wednesday recently, arriving at 11:50 to be told, "I've no table's but the breakfast bar is available" (I had no prob with the fact it was busy, as it always is) The Breakfast bar uses high stools, personally I find high stools uncomfortable so I said "no it's ok I'll wait for a table and im in no rush" I might add the COUPLE that arrived after me were not offered the breakfast bar. Then I saw the whole of upstairs was empty, so I asked about being seated up their, to which I was told "it's not open YET". The lady made it so obvious that she would not waste a table on a person dining alone. In the end I was seated at a sharing table. I was just looking for some place to have a nice break and some lovely food. All the food was indeed lovely but the treatment from entering to getting a table was less than desirable. 😕

M. O. B.

Carrot cake to die for 🥕💕 Excellent service

S. H.

Excellent courteous service, we had the soup of the day With delicious brown bread. I prefer the way Hook & Ladder now seat you and take your order...it's much better than a large que waiting at the counter. I highly recommend a visit...the menuis varied and lots to choose from.

L. B. T.

Outside selling firewood on the side of the road Waterford, just close to the hook and ladder restaurant where I get my weekly fix of coffee and great soups. Today with storm Denis the menis I did not get time to breathe. A special delivery from Tonya of beautiful homemade red pepper soup and homemade seeded brown bread “my favourite “... on her break. What a service. Thank you sooo much for making my day as I’m drowned to the skin wet and cold and now I’m smiling. Only the best from the best 😍🥰

A. O.

Always go in hoping that this time it will be good but it never happens. As an graduate of hotel management all be it many years ago, it irks me that the lack of finesse and training does not even exist. If you get that right the rest will follow. And what's this about tap water and filtered water!!!! (which is €1). That's prob to cover the cost of the special bottle!! it comes in. If you are going to offer this, at least have the decency to explain it when taking the order. I could go on and on, but what's tge point, definitely won't be back after today's experience. Its a pity,

J. Q.

A classy Cafe - table service with a smile. Great staff and an excellent menu to choose from. The kind of place you would bring the future mother in law to impress.

W. O.

Always loved it here, quality of food is great and place is nice. Food portion size can vary from time to time as a minor gripe. Still love it all the same 👍

M. K.

Just finished an Italian course with Paul Power, I had a very enjoyable experience with a lovely group. The facilities are great and Paul is excellent and very helpful and friendly,. These courses are well worth attending a most enjoyable evening.

M. D.

I found the staff that I came across very friendly and pleasant. However there was no alternative offered for those that have intolerances to Gluten and Wheat other than what I could buy in the supermarket, confectionary wise and I was not going to buy these at over inflated prices for the privilege of sitting down. Hook and Ladder has become expensive to eat here. I wouldn't have to visit here again.

M. C.

Really good and helpful staff who care about the place. Excellent food.

M. S.

I've been here a few times. Can get busy but very good food, coffee and service each time. They do takeaway coffee and cakes, scones, brownbread down at the back cash register also.

T. P.

Lovely breakfast and cakes

R. F. O. S.

Fantastic customer service and a beautiful atmosphere. Can get very very busy at peak times,but as long as you don't mind waiting few minutes for a table it is well worth the wait

S. p.

Nice niche coffee shop in a business Park.. Cosy interior, and all the items on display around the premises are for sale.. Plenty of seating as they have an upstairs section.. Great selection of homemade desserts and tarts.. Unfortunately low rating as recently their coffee isn't the greatest, very bitter.. Disappointing considering its a cafe

E. B.

Nice freshly cooked food, lovely tea, good range of cakes. Great for breakfast, lunch or a relaxed cup of coffee (with cake). Staff are friendly and helpful.

S. B.

Lovely food and staff

D.

Located on the outskirts of the city in an industrial area opposite LIDI. The menu isn't extensive but the breakfast is lovely quality produce. Parking can be a pain as well.

M. O.

Not a big selection, food different than menu

P. a. B.

First class. Highly recommended. Parking, food, atmosphere, staff...all good. Best in Waterford?...probably. You pay a bit more, but it’s quality.

u. O. D.

Variety of food on offer was very limited n was frozen at a table not very far from door which kept opening...didn't enjoy my visit☹

S. K.

Nice caffe. Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Family friendly. The food is typical of an Irish caffe.

A. M.

G. G.

Busy little spot quality of food varies had the Ampersans a few weeks ago and it was superb, had it again and the sauce was not good, the eggs were only ok and the sprinkle of chillies was missing.

S. J.

Lovely grub and service. Shame they take the strange approach to charge €1 for tap water, which they explain away by saying it filtered.

J. E.

Love the desserts and great coffee, new menu is great and they always have little offers too and fresh baked goods to buy

J. H.

(Translated) The place is fine, I ordered a scone that is a crispy cupcake on the outside, very typical of these parts, and it was delicious, you could tell it was made by hand that same day. Another day I tried the falafel and I did not like it at all, it was like blandurrio, it seemed made in the microwave. Then I found out that they do not make fried in this place and of course, the falafel has to fry it a bit so that it takes body. They are not supposed to make fried food to make it healthier, but then they make some cakes that obviously have a lot of sugar, very tasty indeed. The detail of fried foods contrasted with sugary tarts did not like me. If your policy is to make everything healthy, then make it healthy, but do not steal a recipe for an incongruity. Only for this I do not give them five stars. (Original) El lugar está bien, pedí un scone que es una magdalena crujiente por fuera, muy típica de estos lares, y estaba deliciosa, se notaba que estaba hecha a mano ese mismo día. Otro día probé el falafel y no me gustó nada, estaba como blandurrio, parecía hecho al microondas. Luego me enteré que no hacen fritos en este local y claro, el falafel hay que freírlo un poco para que coja cuerpo. Se supone que no hacen fritos para que sea mas sano, pero luego hacen unas tartas que, obviamente llevan un montón de azucar, muy ricas por cierto. El detalle de los fritos contrastado con las tartas azucaradas no me gustó. Si su política es hacerlo todo sano, entonces que sea todo sano, pero que no esteopeen una receta por una incongruencia. Solo por esto no les doy cinco estrellas.
