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.

It appears the owner of this restaurant didn’t have enough staff, was very off hand and wanted to ensure the ‘regulars’ were prioritised. So my friends 10 in total and I left. Told us to another business.

The food was good however the service left a lot to be desired. When asking the lady for a clean napkin as the one provided to the table was dirty, she literal scowled and snatched it from my husbands hand . This was probably the...reason why when his slice of apple pie was provided it was an inch wide ??? It looked like half a slice . I only wish I had taken a photo. As there was no itemised bill we can only assume that this half a slice of apple pie and cream cost approx €6.60?? There is just no enjoyment in eating out any more between the small portions and crazy prices.More

Really enjoyed Mothers Day breakfast in the cafe. Good variety on the menu including pancakes for the kids. The food was lovely & the staff including Ann and Aoibh were very attentive and friendly. Would recommend it!

We kicked off a lovely birthday weekend with lunch here yesterday. Lovely local produce, especially nice salads. Great staff. Nice to see good vegan options. We asked for a number of variations to the menu and were told “no problem, if it can be done,...we’ll do it”. Very relaxed environment. Wine licence 🍷. Lovely!More

Just stopped in with a local for a coffee, but I wanted mineral water. Waitress told me to go and look. Owner came out and made it pretty clear she wanted to know why I was hanging around their display area! The only time in...Ireland that I felt a British accent somehow triggered a reaction. Coffee and water were good, just the method of delivery.More

My family and I were greeted by Ann McDonald who welcomed us. Great friendly atmosphere. The full Irish breakfast was excellent and well priced too. Ann is a nice lady and we will be back again. Highly recommended.

Stopped by while in New Ross. Service with a smile… Efficient too. Food was yummy… From the seafood basket, to the vegetable curry to the hake and even the burger. Portion sizes left us all satisfied… and let’s not talk about the scrumptious desserts… well...and truely satisfied… Never mind the Kennedy attraction of New Ross; Ann McDonalds cafe is worth checking out.More

Stopped for breakfast for 2 and were immediately seated outside with our dog. The owner attended us immediately, despite being short staffed. She also brought a water bowl for the woofer. Food arrived promptly. The portions on the smashed avocado toast, with egg and bacon...were unbalanced. Too much bread, too little avocado. Bacon was not as crispy as expected. The pancake stack was tasty however there was too much syrup added and again bacon was not crispy. Overall a nice meal with exceptional customer service. We would recommend a visit.More

I returned here again with my son this time. I Can’t recommend the home cut chips. They are delicious. Our food was fresh & very hot. The girls were so friendly and couldn’t be anymore helpful. On the way out my son got a lollipop...from the owner which was very kind. We will definitely be back.More

Staff were very friendly and polite but the food was very disappointing. Chips were only warm and as for the thai fish cakes, very unpleasant.

I was in New Ross on business with my colleagues. I found Ann McDonald’s Cafe on our first day. I continued to go here for the few days we were in the locality. There was an excellent menu for both day and evening. There was...a wide range on the menu. The Food was very reasonable & delicious. The wine list was equally as good. I highly recommend this establishment to anybody. We will be back 🤗More
