We arrived on Thursday evening after a funeral, 12 of us, no booking, they gave us a table they had set up for a later booking. Food and service were excellent.

Genuinely one of the best places for food, we've always gone here when it comes to celebrations, special occasions, or even just for a normal time. Their prices are not ridiculous, cheaper than we thought for such amazing food! I highly recommend their steak pita pocket for the main course with chips as a side, and also get a garlic dip with it. You won't be disappointed 🤤. I hope they never change their stake pita pockets because they're amazing. For dessert, I had a trio of ice cream. Also highly recommend it, delicious. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Overall, the food doesn't take too long to come out, especially if you get in a little earlier than others. Never had a complaint about AJ's. Top quality food for great prices. 10/10.

It was a good surprise for a late dinner on the way to Downpatrick. The chef's day special is a good alternative to the usual burguer. I also suggest you try one of the days desert. The food was good, with a well done serving and good service.

Food couldn't be faulted. Have been a few times. Recently went for mother's day lunch as a party of 4. Free corkage is a bonus. Got 3 courses. Good sized portions. Good variety on the menu. Bannoffee and pavlova are lovely. Good value for money. Only fault was the service as the waitress tipped the plate with food and cutlery over our table. Also the meals and drinks came in stages, as though some meals/drinks had been forgotten and had to ask for the sauce and missing coffees we had ordered.

Unfortunately service was terrible . Took an hour for the first course then took 30 mins to clear table then 10 mins to enquire if we would like to look at the desert menu and then after waiting for approximately an hour no one came near us again. We left after 3 hours after only having one course so if you have a full day to pass would recommend it...

She went off, never came back 8 mins later I'm handed a meal. Do yourself a favour, go elsewhere.

Usually enjoy going to Quinns, Food was very nice, as always. Today, however, we encountered an undesirable individual who had to be challenged by another customer about their conversation. The individual then became aggressive because someone dared ask them to stop talking about his sectarian viewpoint and a context that was very unnecessary in front of children.

The restaurant itself is beautiful decorated , warm and inviting and spotlessly clean , and the staff are so lovely very welcoming and friendly , they are quick to serve your every need without being overbearing. As I said before we've been going for years now and will continue to do so as we love it ,I very highly recommend you try ajs I promise you'll not be disappointed.

Came out for a family meal and AJs is a family favourite place to eat out. Food was amazing as always. However the staff were very rude. Have never had an encounter like this before from ajs. Blonde older woman with glasses extremely rude and everything was just a problem , and an attitude that was picked up by the entire table. Horrible service. Think customer service training might need updated.

We didn’t want to he home from Tennessee to later but couldn’t find a business open before 6 am other than the fast food and 24 hour chain restaurants. I found A.J.s Diner was opened at 6am. I told my wife let’s check it out. It seems to be an old A&W or drive in food stop. I ordered an egg and cheese biscuit sandwich and my wife ordered egg, onion, and cheese omelette. We both had hash browns and coffee with our breakfast. I gave the diner a 5 out of 5 for opening for early morning mostly working people, hometown diner atmosphere, and the food especially the crispy hash browns which we both liked. It’s not a fancy chain restaurant place but we were there for the food!

Can’t say enough about this fantastic little gem. Dined here a few weeks ago with friends and had a wonderful whole Dover sole, cooked to perfection. We decided that we would like to come back and try one of Roy’s tasting menus and we were not disappointed. We had six totally delicious Indian themed courses each one cooked authentically and to perfection and served in a really creative way. The service was excellent with just enough time in between to enjoy each course. Roy, who does all the cooking to order, is really passionate about his restaurant and his choice of menus ,and Julie , front of house is so welcoming and friendly , they do make a great team. Unfortunately I don’t have any photos of our food as I was focused solely on savouring the meal. Thanks to Roy and Julie for a really lovely evening.
