Billy Andy's in Larne

Go for the chilli beef, I loved it, steak well just as I asked for it to be cooked. I can't say about desserts as we were full u after starters and mains.

Had the most delicious Sunday Roast ever today. Husband loved his pork chops too. Service was excellent and so friendly. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Brilliant meal terrific service highly recommended

A gem of a find ! Had 3 hours to spare when heading for ferry. Quick google search and check of reviews led us here. Off the beaten path but worth searching out. Menu was high end gastro pub but in no way pretentious. Husband and son enjoyed roast beef which fell apart when touched by fork and I had duck spring roll with salad and sticky chilli beef. Staff so friendly and chatty.

Delicious Food and excellent service! Really recommend! Will definitely be back!

I finally visited after years or hearing about it. Great food and staff were very helpful.

Rooms service location, people design. Everything was great. Ihad an awesome time.

I really liked the attitude, the rooms, the breakfast, and the atmosphere itself!

Everything was great, good beds good environment, quiet and very clean. Restaurant is super, coffee is good too . Would stay longer here if possible .

We have stayed previously but this visit surpassed all others. Eamon and his staff were fantastic hosts and made our evening meal, breakfast and overnight stay an absolute pleasure. The food was brilliant and the breakfast is second to none. Such a friendly atmosphere and idyllic and peaceful country setting. I would have no reservations about recommending it to anyone wanting B&B and great food. 10 out of 10 Eamon. Thank you.

We stayed for the week with work and had a brilliant time. Amanda and Graham are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them . We enjoyed it that much we will be booking a weekend to see them and the customers in the bar. The breakfasts and meals are fantastic but be warned the portions are huge .. A big thanks to everyone at SIXTY SIX . Gary and Neil.

Spectacular, everyone and everything was perfect, A really good place to stay. One of the Best pint of Guinness so far.

We'll definitely be back. I called to ask about gluten free options and Amanda couldn't be more helpful, she took the time to speak to the chef to see what options they could give me. On arrival staff were pleasant and the food was delicious. The best chips I've tasted in a long time. We were checked several times throughout, which is a rare thing I've found when dining out these days. It was lovely that the staff cared and they could not be more attentive and pleasant. My partner & I really enjoyed & we will be back. A really lovely, tasty meal, well priced and pleasant staff. I'm not one to leave reviews but he & I both left thinking it was top class food and service. Thank you for a lovely meal and experience :)

Open to 7pm on a Sunday. Tried to book for 6.30pm told no closing at 6pm. Poor

Lovely wee spot. The food and service in the restaurant is excellent, the bar is traditional and homely, and the staff always remember you. Can't speak for the rooms as it's also within walking distance for me.

What a fantastic place... Friendly, cozy, with delicious food to boot! Highly recommended!!!

Had a breakfast visit this morning and was delicious!! Fry was massive and only £10!! It was fabulous! Lovely to have a good size fruit juice along with breakfast which doesn’t usually happen in establishments. Will boost definitely be back over the coming months, excited to try the different menus:) thanks for a lovely breakfast

Staff super friendly, really welcoming homely place to visit. Drinks were good - service was quick and efficient. Everyone enjoyed their food, great place to stop off, definitely a must visit if you're in the area..

Visited here for a meal over Christmas. 5 star.

First of all the place was freezing had to keep our coats on until dinner arrived , we both had chicken supreme it was reall bad jus a plain piece of chicken on top of mash with a yellow sauce never seen chicken supreme with yellow sauce it was tasteless asked for side portion of onion rings Iam 99% sure they were frozen , I knew something was wrong as on recent visits the food has been top class , this on 7 o’clock on a sat night and restaurant was near empty , we had just booked at 530 …I can’t be certain but iam sure it is a new owner and chef ,,, defo won’t be back £50 wasted

Everything about this place is incredible, it’s always our favourite restaurant for a special treat , the venue is beautiful, staff are lovely and food is beautiful, always look forward to our meals

My daughter and young granddaughter and my self stayed for the night we had a beautiful meal and next morning breakfast fantastic the staff were so nice and helpful made you feel like part of their family nothing was too much for them great bar and atmosphere we have already booked a another night in it we have stayed in a awful lot of places but this was definitely one of the best a mention for James who went above and beyond a hidden jem I would give it more stars ⭐️ if I could loved it

Went here for dinner for the first time in quite a while and weren't sure what to expect but it was really good. Very pleasant young waitress and manager. We felt welcome and looked after. The gluten free options are excellent and they were well managed and presented. The scallops were good (I just don't like slate instead of a plate), the seabass was also very good - maybe fewer capers would be better. Portion sizes are generous too. I would recommend anyone to try it and we will be back.

Prob worst meal out I’ve ever had. Scallops were fishy which means they aren’t fresh and starting to turn. Had sea bass for main which was 2 bits of fish which seemed to be deep fat fried or else shallow fried in oil, these were set on top of 3 or 4 baby potatoes which has inherited all the grease from the fish. On top of that was a handful of capers and a handful of tiny prawns. I felt like Jeremy beatle was going to jump out at any second. The chicken stack which my wife had was the a heap of mashed potato that yer ma cooks on a Tuesday night with a chicken breast with the wing and all still on it sitting on the side of the plate and a bowl of mushroom sauce which was mostly sliced mushroom.

Hidden gem just 2 miles outside Larne town. Food, service and ambiance 10/10, lunch time special £10 Fri and Sat, highly recommend. Thank you Eamon and team, we will definitely be back very soon

Loved this place! Great food, friendly staff and a real welcoming atmosphere. So pleased we found it. My toddler son who I was worried wouldn't sit well for family lunch was made to feel so welcome, they brought him some colouring in to do, and there is a little playhouse in the garden and a swing seat. I think it would be lovely out there in the sunshine.

Lovely bed and breakfast, we received a warm welcome and an amazing cooked breakfast when we first arrived. The rooms were just wanted we needed for the night and clean. Thank you, we would stay here again.

Visited while staying with friends in the area. Had a meal in the restaurant that was first class. Highly recommend the scallops and black pudding. Went home for a few hours then back in the evening for a few beers and some live music. Very friendly pub with the patrons all very chatty. All in all a great afternoon and evening

Great value lunch menu with a lovely selection of main dishes to suit all the family. Beautiful setting in the countryside, not far off the main route. Very friendly and welcoming staff. We will be returning. Thank you.

Fab meal Sunday roast beef was amazing. We'll definitely be back... Soo glad it's back to the way Billy Andys was years ago good pub grub...

Pub food at restaurant prices the food is not very good would not be back pepper sauce watery chips dry in general not worth a visit 😟

We stayed a couple of days here while arriving late and wanting to do the coastal route up north the next day. The breakfasts are completely amazing whether going for the Full Irish or granola and fruit. The evening meals are a fantastic quality. The staff all go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. I’d highly recommend staying here for a weekend break.

Was here today witu family and its a beautiful we place with super friendly staff especially sonia whose really really lovely ! Food was really lovely as was the dessert!! Will 100% be back again !! Give this place a try !!

A friend and I went to Billy Andy's for dinner, needed a night out and hadn't been here for a year maybe so thought we'd check in and see what it was like. Sent a message on FB to book a table and it was confirmed same day. Arrived a little early and we were seated straight away. Attentive staff answered some of our menu questions and food arrived after a short wait. It was delish, I got the Malaysian curry and my friend got the salmon. We were both very happy with the portions especially as we both found room for the brownie cheesecake which was SO good. Nice atmosphere, clean toilets (though one needs a new lock!), great food, all that you would expect from Billy Andy's 😁. Didn't get any photos as we were starvos who inhaled the food as soon as it came!

Saturday 18th March 2023. The positive is …Thanks as we all enjoyed ,..trad music … negative it’s pricey for food … I got way better value and better quality food in the Republic of Ireland and many other European locations … Germany, Austria, Italy, France...

Called in for drinks, then stayed to eat as it is such a lovely, welcoming bar and restaurant. Great food, lovely staff and such good live music that we stayed on even longer than planned. Will definitely be back soon.

We had a belated valentines meal in Billy Andy's and it did not disappoint. Food was delicious and staff were friendly and attentive.

We decided to pay a visit to Billy Andy’s for a late lunch/early dinner as it’s quite local to us. Upon arrival we were the only ones in the restaurant which I wasn’t expecting. We shared a starter of garlic prawns which were delicious! Really...

Based on reviews thought it was more of the same as far as the quality of food goes. Car park was nearly empty which was a bad sign to start with. Staff were friendly but looking very busy considering restaurant about 20% occupied. Food was...

went there with my partner again, and it just keeps getting better under the new ownership. everything was cooked just how it should be and the waiter service was first class. its onwards and upwards for this place.

We dropped by as we’re all hungry after an afternoon swim at the Leisure Centre. Was planning to let the kids try Foie Gras, but it was’nt in the menu anymore as we were told its a new owner and new management. Food service was...

Slow and overpriced, a pork chop on baby potatoes with a squirt of bought in BBQ sauce for £19?? A pretty standard burger for £14? Not even a brioche bun in sight? 2 adults and 2 kids £140 total? It gets an average rating because...

We used to go here years ago, so were keen to try it under new ownership. Also I have had a lot of my customers asking if I had tried it so I can now let them and others know what I think. The kitchen...

An amazing place with great staff and a gang of locals who love chatting to visitors . The pint was fabulous and reasonably priced and our meal in the restaurant was top notch. The bedrooms are a good size and the jacuzzi bath was a...

Lovely place...1st impressions were of a waitress who wasnt very inviting. Was a bit shocked at the price of Roast Beef Dinner for Sunday lunch...£22...most other highly rated establishments charge around £16. The roast beef wasnt what I was expecting...more of a slow cooked beef...

On a snowy night in February, we , four old work colleagues met for a reunion in the very homely Billy Andy's. The service was very personal and unobtrusive. The food was excellent with great flavours and presentation. The wine was good and inexpensive from...

We went for lunch here and only two members of staff were wearing masks, one young member of the team had his below his nose therefore rendering the mask ineffective. ONE young guy had his on properly for the whole service every single other member...

Had a lovely lunch from lunch menu and from the main menu - we all we really delighted with the quality and taste - would recommend.

Fantastic Burger and Chips from Billy Andy's restaurant near Larne town on the weekend. The Steak was so light and tearable and the crispy bacon and cheese just melts in your taste buds. And the chips are immense, I don't know if they are double...

8 of us arrived straight from the airport from London, and were very hungry. I’d been here many years ago and wanted to bring my friends. On arrival we were told that the kitchen was sadly closed for lunch, and that there was a busy...

Good choice on menu. Sharing plates were a nice little touch. Restaurant airy and spacious. Staff friendly and attentive. The only complaint I would have….. if you are serving food on wooden platters, ensure these aren’t cracked. All sorts of pathogens will be lurking in...

Good quality food, cooked well. Homely environment with exceptional food. Exactly what you want from a local pub/restaurant.

We asked our 6 year old son where he would like to go for his birthday meal. He picked Billy Andys and what a good choice it was. From start to finish the service was fantastic, our son opted for the 12oz sirloin and it...

Love visiting this restaurant. Always have a great meal, well cooked and great service. All in a fantastic ambience

We have just got back from Billy Andy's. The wife and I called in on the off chance of getting a table and I was met by a man who I can I presume was the head waiter. I asked for a table and he...

Fabulous meal in Billy Andy’s with my mum - we both had the prawns to start then braised beef and smoked haddock mains followed with mini bakewell and coffee absolutely delicious and the service was second to none. Cannot recommend this place enough. Just wish...

First time here, met some pals (half way between our houses) and had never heard of this place. Loved it, food was delicious, service was excellent (especially Stacey!) And lovely vibe. We'll be back. Thanks, great for a first time out since lock down meal.

Food as before didn't fail to deliver. Excellent from the chef. Service staff attentive and very good. Only problem was 'front of house/ head waiter/ whatever title he commands! Obnoxious character and because of his behaviour I will not be revisiting this establishment and do...

Had our Xmas Dinner here.Took us three attempts and 35 minutes to order our food.Portions were very small, main course was only just warm.One of the coffee's had globules of grease floating on the surface.Wouldn't be in a rush back.5 out of 10.

My wife and I had Sunday lunch here today and it was exceptional. Only our second visit but we will soon return. Beautiful location, very friendly efficient staff and the food is superb with great imagination in creation of dishes, marvellous flavours and great care and pride obviously taken in presentation. It ranks up there with the best NI has to offer. Covid 19 precautions were first class and far ahead of anything we have experienced recently in NI. An experience that I would highly recommend.

Another restaurant we booked during the Eat Out to Help Out scheme as it’s local and the food is amazing. Covid measures were excellent as was the food. I normally avoid bringing the kids here as service can be slow, not an issue for me when having a few drinks etc but brought them along on this occasion with no issues. We both opted for the rack and ribeye of beef which was delightful as always. Beautiful food and will be returning soon to use the £10 off voucher we received on this visit.

The manager is quite frankly one of the rudest men I have ever met. Made a new mother cry for not booking her new born baby a seat and has an attitude to curdle milk. Not friendly at all. Otherwise food is nice and other nice staff but the manager leaves a sour taste. Would not recommend if you like to be served with a smile or a nice hello, actually just common decency. Rang to book a table to give another try after a year and the attitude was intolerable. I see why they do so well with the food, but a nicer experience if they changed up the manager!

1st time around the Ballygally direction,book Billy Andy's on the reviews from TripAdvisor, wasn't disappointed with the food, very good...Table time was a bit slow but nothing to shout about the food was hot and stayed hot on the plate.great wee spot ,out in the sticks ,just need the fire light and the turf on....

This place is a real hidden gem. The food is superb! This was my first visit but most definitely will not be the last. Highly recommend!

I have been meaning to visit Billy Andy’s for many years . All my friends have been recommending and talking about it . I certainly wasn’t disappointed, from I arrived until my departure we were looked after by a wonderful team who work well together giving you a first class experience . I will be back again this year when we go home to NI . Big thank you to John and his amazing team , you have it spot on !

Really enjoyed the food but I’m writing this review to thank the staff for the effort they have put into heath and safety measures. They have implemented a safe sensible logical approach to the covid issue. Staff were taking sensible precautions which allowed us to relax and enjoy our food as usual. Thank you!

Fabulous little place full of charm , great atmosphere and most importantly great food , I have been here twice now a few weeks ago for dinner and today for lunch , both times have been equally good and will definitely be returning

Visited this restaurant mon 10/8 with my husband for some lunch .... booked it online through opentable ...... when we arrived , it was quite busy , but all staff had PPE and there is a one way system in operation, which is good . We decided on the 3 course lunch, and realised pretty quickly, that it was very busy and most of the staff where run off their feet . So we expected a long wait between courses , and that's fair enough, given that they had twice as many covers in , than they would have on a Saturday. I know this because one of the staff told us !! .... now not wanting to make a fuss , we patiently waited between each course , infact we where there for just over 2 hours !!! ..... found it hard to attract the attention of anyone to get our bill .... but there again, we where patient ...... so whenever the senior member of staff came over and told us that we would have to vacate our table, I was gobsmacked!!! ... our dessert plates hadnt even been lifted at this point and i was finishing my coffee!! Not good . Either up the staffing levels or dont take so many bookings .... it's a simple enough solution, rather than taking it out on diners because you think they have been dawdling over their lunch !!!! .... now it's just as well that the food is excellent , so tasty and very well presented, so 5 out of 5 to the chef !! And for the quality of the food , the price is very reasonable...... this review should have been all about the fantastic plates of food, the atmosphere and the ambience of the place, which is simply first class.... but I'm afraid the attitude of some of the staff has marred what should have been a perfect lunch

My wife and I went as part of the eat out to help out deal, the restaurant was really COVID compliant, staff were excellent, friendly and efficient, I felt for them and everyone working in the open kitchen with their PPE, the menu was fantastic, the quality and flavours of the food was fantastic, great value for money, can’t wait to go back

My 1st visit to Billy Andys and it won't be my last.From we arrived we were made to feel very welcomed by john. We got the lunch menu and it was hard to pick what i wanted so many good options. The service was excellent, and when my starter arrived and after the 1st bite i new it was a great choice. I had prawns for starter and battered fish for mains the food was really excellent.It was also very reasonable From john, to the girls and guys serving us and to the chefs thank you for a great lunch

Such a shame as the food really is scrumptious! However, my husband got the lamb - there were two tiny little bits of lamb and 3 small baby boiled potatoes. It was the size of a starter and that’s being generous! Perfectly cooked though. It also took an hour and 15 minutes to come out. We actually had to stop at KFC on the way home as he was still so hungry! I decided to have a pudding - again it took 35 minutes but was lovely. When I mentioned the wait, the waiter said it was just so busy. It is on ‘the eat out to help out scheme,’ and we had booked so thought maybe they should have anticipated it being busier than usual. Definitely order some sides! Would also like to mention we aren’t big eaters!

A friend and I ate here on Friday night for our first meal out since the pandemic caused chaos. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly. Hard copies of the menu are not available and you are given the wifi code to browse the menu online. The kiev starter was beautiful and the 12oz steak was cooked to my liking. The mini desserts were ample after the starter and steak.

We have always wanted to try Billy Andys but have only now got round to it. We book a table for our dinner out since lockdown. This place did not disappoint. The food is exceptional. We will be sure to return.

Popped in here for lunch whilst waiting for the ferry back to Cairnryan. It's only about 15 mins. from the ferry terminal and, honestly, everyone should eat here if they have time to spare. The food was fantastic and excellent value. A genuine hidden gem. Service was brilliant too, very friendly and hospitable. I wish I lived much nearer to this restaurant because I would just keep going back and back.

Such a shame as lovely food. Front of house manager without doubt the rudest most unwelcoming guy. The type of guy that treats customers as if they they get in the way and he is too busy. Shocking frankly.

Thanks to Billy Andys for the brilliant lunch we had on Thursday 27th Feb.Starters, main course and sweet all excellent. Beautiful little hidden gem in a lovely rural setting. Give it a go if you are in the area. I know we will be back again.Thank youPaul and Isobel McGillBallymenaPs. Sorry photos aren't great.

Had heard through word of mouth from friends how good this restaurant was, I had the opportunity to visit today with my wife Julie. Probably one of the best meals we have had in a good while. Everything from the menu choice to the wine list was so much to our pallet. I even got to choose my own whisky from the front bar. Love this place and can't wait to go back.

Had a beautiful meal last night in a delightful location. Service excellent. Warm and courteous. Food delicious and quantity just right. Highly recommend.

We found Billy Andy's from searching reviews here on TripAdvisor and I'm so glad we did. It was just exceptional from start to finish - the food, service and staff. We would highly recommend it.

This place is off the charts incredible for food!!went for Sunday lunch and wasn’t disappointed,had the venison toad in a hole for starters,and the lamb for main...this place is top class restaurant style food,I’ve never had pub food like it!!everything about this place was exceptional,great Guinness,amazing staff and top quality local food!!would highly recommend this hidden gem!!Cant wait to return!
