About Us
THREE GENERATIONS, ONE FAMILY
Blink and you might miss us driving through Douglas, but KC’s has been a Cork institution for over 65 years. As the oldest family-run restaurant in Cork, three generations have proudly served locals and visitors from our tiny, iconic spot.
We were among the first to bring the hamburger to Cork, and we've kept innovating ever since. Inventors and purveyors of many unique delicacies such as the legendary King Creole; the bold Chicken Bombay and the unforgettable Big Dipper Burger, our flavours have become part of the city’s story.
We serve thousands each week, always with heart, hustle, and a side of something special. At KC’s, it’s simple: big taste, small space, family roots. And as we like to say, it’s all good.


KC'S & THE ENVIRONMENT
Sustainability couldn’t be higher on our list of priorities. For years now, we have been gradually reducing our plastic usage and now we are proud to say we are single use plastic free. All our packaging is compostable, sourced from Down To Earth Materials.
We try to source our food products from local farmers and suppliers too. We use locally grown organic potatoes for our chips when in season; locally caught fish; locally reared beef and pork. We make our our sauces and mix our own spices.
We also operate a strict composting policy for any food or paper waste we generate. Our staff are well trained and stick to the guidelines.
KC’s is famous for many things, but our customers are well aware of our environmental standards and often commend us on these practices.
