Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

OMFG! I called for breakfast. What I got was culinary artwork. So, not surprisingly I returned for lunch. Turned out to be a great idea. Let me put it like this...if you're within the bawl of an ass of this place, make it your business...to call in.More

Friendly, professional staff, bright restaurant. First time eating there. Tried something new. Light pancake, lightly spiced potato filling, interesting sauces on the side. Attractively presented.

Great food and great coffee. Lovely spot to sit and chill for brunch or lunch. Menu changes up which is cool. We have been nearly every day for our coffee! We had a very bad experience with the other coffee place beside budds as they...were very unfriendly and budds team were sound so that’s a win!More

My husband and I were visiting the west Cork and we decide have a lunch in the Budds. It was a adorable choice, my husband had a delicious burger and I had a very good hake and baked fish.

Had breakfast this morning in Budds, and it was just as good as I remembered from my visit last year. Delicious local produce imaginatively used. Such lovely friendly staff. A little gem, worth a detour.

Budds has a unique friendly style of doing things and you will be smiling with the staff before you get to your seat. Excellent place for brunch/ lunch and you won’t be under pressure and will want to relax and be at ease. Excellent coffee...also serving up Badger & Dodo for the coffee lovers .More

Budds is a busy spot on the main street so you can't miss it! No indoor dining at time so opted for takeaway instead of outdoor dining. Outdoor seating available. The queue was a good sign of how good the food is! I opted for...the crispy tofu, it was delicious, the flavours were fantastic.More

Hidden gem! Best burger we have ever had. Everything from the patty to brioche made from scratch. We had deserts to takeaway and they too were scrumptious.
