Went there as working near by the food took a long time to come considering restaurant was not very busy. When it came food was cold and veg on another was rock hard raw. sauce on chicken when evetually got too it at bottom of bowl was so salty and generally unpleasent all 3 plates left almost untouched. had complained but didnt have the time to wait for replacement food. they took the drinks off the bill but that was it. Dont bother try one of the other food places on site

In the area and been a while since I ate here before. Quite busy and a bit noisy and though it was the Twelth seats available. First thing I noticed the old sticky, even dirty menu cards. Surely it would cost little to have new laminated menus easily sanitised. I only sat down and a pleasant young girl wanted to take my order,but I said I need time. I asked what the Guinness was. She did not know.She returned with a can of draught Guinness at around £6.00 exorbitant. I took it. I ordered sizzling chicken in a pepper sauce with onion and mushroom. The chicken looked like prepacked and just sliced.Tasty but a poor effort really. I ordered a garden salad which was nothing to boast about.Even leaving green stalks on the baby tomatoes. My mistake really it did not go with my main. I had an Irish coffee to finish. Young girl had to ask if they did it. It was ok but rather expensive. Pros - pleasant young girls and male floor manager. Cons - Expensive. I won't rush back.

I have been here several times before and never been disappointed. I was here last week and it was not good start to finish. We waited 45 minutes for our meals to start arriving. The third meal came 5 minutes later and the fourth meal never arrived. Another waitress had to retake the order for the fourth meal. This meal didn't make it to the kitchen and everyone else was nearly finished by the time it arrived. When it arrived it came with the wrong side and the steak had a sour smell. We were never offered so much as an apology at the till or a discount for our bad meal. I messaged their fb page the following day and was again not offered even an apology or response. Would not be back or recommend, seems to be hit or miss judging by the reviews here.

crowd of us went and the place was empty! It still took ages for anyone 2 take our order, waited even longer on the food and it all came out freezing. No one checked to see if everything was ok we then had to ask to order deserts after waiting ages again. One of the deserts came and the cream was off. We told them this when paying and were told it couldn't be as it was made fresh today. All of us who tasted it agreed it was off. Over charged us for drinks but didn't realise until after. Would avoid

Terrible, will not being going back again. Ordered food to wait ages for the food, which when the food came down was not warm, also had requested no dressing on the burgers for one to come with oinions and the other to come with lettuce, tomato etc. Politely asked for the burger to be taken back and the dressing removed, when the burger was brought back it had some of the dressing scrapped off but tomato etc still evident. Again said to take the burger back and bring me a new one, this time the burger was brought back with the dressing removed, it had been well scrapped off and then the burger badly burnt and dry, so not changed. Not a word from management, such a let down of a restaurant, service and food unacceptable - No Stars!

Called into this place for a late meal and was not disappointed. It seems with diner type places like this in NI you usually either get big helpings of meagrely tasting food or meagre helpings of great tasting food. Bodenes serve generous helpings of amazingly tasty food. I had the chilli chicken with sweet potato fries and the other half had the ribs with a side of loaded fries. Could not believe just how good it was. Best I’ve had in any diner in NI ever. The service was also second to none. The young lady who served us greeted us with a beaming smile, was attentive throughout and made us feel welcome. The other staff were really friendly too. Atmosphere was good. Chilled and no blasting music which worked for us. 10/10 We will be back and we thoroughly recommend Bodenes. Sorry no photos. We were famished and devoured the lot before realising we should have taken pics of the well presented food.

This was an unfortunate choice by me. My other half and I decoded to go to the cinema and go for a meal and I chose Bodenes due to being just beside the cinema. Firstly, I had to send my glass back twice due to being dirty, the first having something caked on the outside and the second due to having like a send or something on the inside. The meals themselves, we received warm as opposed to hot, the equivilent as if I had let it sot for 20minutes to cool - due to already complaining twice, I didn't want to make the waiter any more uncomfortable as it appeared he was quite new and didn't want to make it any worse for him. For both meals there was also way too much sauce, although the taste was OK, it was not a good experience. The waiting staff were really nice but the kitchen staff obviously leave a lot to be desired. Nothing that came out of the kitchen was done well. I won't be back.

Then cheesecake sundae *how can you go wrong with that* - well this place can - the cheesecake part was off, sour, disgusting - when we mentioned this - it wasn't taken off the bill - i have given this place a couple of chances now, thinking everyone can have an off day - but i will NOT be back!

I didn't eat my burger and said it to the staff. I was still charged for the not eaten burger but they didn't charge me for my coke as an apology.

Seating and initial service was quick, order taken quickly. Ribs starter was fine, no issues. Main course came out, my wifes lasagne was “ok” “cheap but what I expected” My chilli chicken was poor, chicken was more raw batter than chicken, noodles were cold and the side of skinny fries was awful, cold, soggy, and just “wrong” the chilli dressing possibly hid a number of sins with this dish, I couldn’t have eaten what I did without the dressing disguising the chicken. When we went to pay the cashier asked if everything was ok, we voiced our displeasure with my chilli chicken, the cashier stated that if we had complained at the time to our server they would have taken the food back to the kitchen, the server did not come back to our table after delivering the food so that wasn’t possible. We were charged full price, we paid up and we will not be back. The only reason for 2 stars and not 1 is the ribs were ok. There are much better places in this area, try Urban Pizza in the bowling alley, it’s fantastic, only we were too early for it.

After reading these reviews I was close to changing the booking to another restaurant but I thought I would give them a chance. I met friends for lunch and we were a party of 4. We had a short wait to be seated and within minutes of sitting down the waitress came to take our order. The food was absolutely delicious, I really wasn’t expecting much as I read the recent reviews as I arrived. The service was very good overall, we ordered coffees and as we chatted we didn’t realise a queue had formed for tables. The staff didn’t rush us out but we had been there for some time and when we noticed a queue we left. I would definitely be back, such a pleasant surprise with excellent food and service.

Visited here after being at the cinema close by. Sorry we bothered, went with family..not a fussy bunch but wish I had read the reviews here before going in. The latest ones ring true. Had to wait a bit to be seated (5mins total) which was grand, given menus while we waited. When seated took over half an hr for anyone to come back and take the order and over an hour from entering to receive any food. The kids were getting restless. The restaurant wasn't overly busy and one section wasn't even operating. The food arrived and none of the food was hot, lukewarm at best. Ordered an additional side with the meal that didn't come until nearly finished the main..just sat on the table by staff and no apology for wait. Staff not welcoming at all, tried to engage in some pleasantries but they seemed totally disengaged. Dietary requirements where required for one of the party and we were told most the menu could accommodate although no selection of options given. Ordered what thought was safest and made the requirement known again but service of the place doesn't fill me with confidence that this was met. Being with children we just ate and left. Don't think a complaint would have made any different to be honest. I hate leaving bad reviews but definitely avoid given the cost involved.

Had dinner tonight. Told us to sit and wait it will be 5-10 mins. We were waiting 30 mins until they seat us. Girl behind bar had time to fix her lipstick twice. Ordered herbal tea with lemon and honey. Got a quarter of glass full of honey with small slice of lemon. Never seen serve honey and lemon with tea this way (it was obviously too sweet without taste of lemon). Also was waiting for 2 milkshakes half an hour. Food was alright but not worth it so long wait.

On arrival we met a queue of approx. 9 customers and a large section of the restaurant empty. 20mins later we were seated at a table and given 3 different menus. The table was still wet and took at least 5mins to dry. 5mins later our food & drinks order was taken. 10mins later I had to ask what was the average waiting time for food to be served (realising I should have asked this whilst queuing). On returning we were told 5-10mins and left without any chance of a reply. Annoyed at this point I questioned myself, what is it to be 5mins or 10mins..... The food arrived, the curry was mixed with the rice which was not described on the menu and the chilli chicken had far too many slices of fresh chilli, majority pushed to side of the plate. The food was not piping hot, albeit it was tasty. The biggest letdown was the Jug of water. This tasted of mould, very strong mould. Unsure if the water was the problem or their ice. This water was replaced into a fancy bottle!! Funny as this may sound but it tasted exactly the same, mouldy. Finally we were given sealed bottled water, which was cool and refreshing. Overall, our first and only experience did not meet expectations and unfortunately will not be returning. I hope this post does not offend those loyal Bodenes customers and helps others make a choice. Good luck

Went with my wife for something to eat while out shopping. When we arrived the place was fairly empty, we were seated quickly and ordered a couple of drinks. We ordered starters and main meals. The starters arrived fairly quickly and were fine, when we finished them the plates were collected quickly but that was the last we saw of staff. They came past us repeatedly and other patrons came and went. After 45 minutes of waiting we decided enough was enough and went to the counter to pay. We were handed the full bill which I declined and said I never received the main meals so wasn't paying for them. The staff member said she would call the manager who promptly arrived and said the meals were ready to be served. We declined saying they would be cold now. He begrudgingly agreed to remove the meals and we paid and left. At no point was any attempt at an apology made by any of the staff or manager. As the place was mostly empty I can see no justifications for such poor service. Sadly it will be a very long time before they get a second chance to impress, a very lo g time.

Arrived and asked do you need anything else I said yes can I have mayo, full bottle of mayo arrives on table, so put some on burger and found out reason it took so long is because was burnt and greasy. One other customer came and went the whole time so not like they were busy, all to busy chatting, toilets were covered in poo on one side, no excuse for that.must be frustrating for ownerwith staff so poor and don't care

This used to be one of our favourite places to eat. Totally changed their standards have completely gone. We were there for 2 hours. Slowest service ever. Food took nearly an hour to come out and with a very impatient 8 month old baby sittin in high chair that whole time we were ready to walk out. Group of 7. It wasn’t busy. Apart from 2 out of 7 the rest of the group hated the food. Nothing was cooked well. Chips were like oven chips. The steak?? accompanied by frozen mushy onion rings all very tasteless and not like the menu said “battered” the food was so awful all we did was laugh on the way home about how bad it was. Such a terrible birthday. We will never be back judging by the recent reviews they clearly have had issues for a while now.

Bodenes was one of my favourite places to eat, but I feel that it has gone hugely downhill lately. On a positive start, the meat cooking is always perfect here. Any burger, chicken or steak is always cooked well, and their brisket is amazing. However, for anything that isn't a meat option (even sides and accompaniments), I feel that the quality is much worse. Previously, there would be a range of vegetarian options including taco bowls, burgers, etc. However, recent changes to the menu has shrunk the vegetarian selection to only FOUR items (based on menu dated 27 June 2023): "fake fish" goujons, a generic curry (presumably microwaved as I expect it would not be made fresh daily although happy to be proven wrong), a spinach burger, and salt and chili "sticks". While I was fairly happy with my Wolf Pack burger (which contained fried chicken, brisket and a beef burger all in a dry brioche bun), my partner's vegetarian meal was a disappointment. The salt and chili sticks turned out to be breaded and fried sticks of something similar to Quorn. These were set on top of "Korean BBQ pineapple salsa salad, sweet chilli sauce, toasted sesame seed" (according to the menu). However, the salsa was simply chunks of tinned pineapple drizzled with sweet chili sauce, and had no flavour of salsa or sesame about it. The portion size was also absolutely tiny, much more like a starter than a main. The atmosphere was particularly poor during our visit. Servers now sit all diners in one part of the restaurant, but this has the effect of putting the diners looking for a quieter experience next to families with children. This meant that - in addition to a poor meal - we had to contend with the sound of children banging tables, glasses, or anything else they could find. Our meal came to just over £35 for two people (which was two mains and two soft drinks), and felt like a complete waste of money on this occasion.

Not a great experience, the person I went with is a celiac and there were not many options available. In fact there was only one thing she was able to eat. Which was the steak. She asked for medium rare and it came out well done and dry. I asked for chicken wings off the starter menu and a portion of chips. The chips were overrun with garlic and could not taste the chilli. Overall just ok. Not worth the price! It came to £36!

Visited this evening and very disappointed with the service. Arrived around 4:30 and was told about 10-15 min wait for table which was fine but restaurant wasn’t overly busy and plenty of tables free. Had a look at menus while waiting and were taken to our table at 4:45 and we ordered straight away as receipt record also states we ordered at this time. Drinks arrived promptly but that’s the last of the usual service you expect. We had our 1 yr old with us and kids don’t wait well for food at 5:15 our food still hadn’t arrived we tried to get the staffs attention a number of times but no one came near us. Eventually at almost 5:25 a waitress came over for us to ask what was the hold up for a guy to follow with the food. The staff left us to eat and usually they nip over after a couple of mins to check if everything ok they didn’t and we spent at least 5mins trying to get 1 of the staff to come over as the potato cubes with my special were cold. By this stage I had half the burger and burrito ate and when they eventually brought me new cubes I had finished my other food, my hubbie was finished eating and my child was almost finished. No one asked at paying was everything ok and charged us full price for the poor service. Very disappointed

Had brunch for a family of four. 3 items forgotten off fry which were brought when we pointed the missing items out. Fry was nice and plenty of it. Pancakes were messy. Preferred when the Nutella and cream were served in separate tubs. Coffee a bit milky for a cappuccino but I do prefer mine strong. Staff were pleasant and place was clean. Overall a nice visit.

Handed menues and told to wait for seating. Fair enough if place is busy. Restaurant not even quarter full and at least 8 cleaned free tables, but still we're left standing at counter waiting to he seated. Easy 5 staff behind counter gazing into space. 3 others doing laps looking for things to avoid doing. Stood 10 minutes and ended up just walking out. Don't mind waiting if place is full, but no excuse for that. Too many places close to hand to be treated like that.

Atmosphere in the place is nice. However I found I a bone in the pasta, told the server and no actions had been taken.

I went there last Thursday and had a milkshake but it was really lumpy. Like it was mixed with a fork it was that weirdly textured, probably wanna get that sorted, other than that it's great

Terrible, 45 minute wait for food in an almost empty restaurant. So disappointed.

This used to be one of my favorite places to eat. Not sure what is going on. The food was cold, the portion was small, and unfortunately, we were very disappointed.

Had 2 off menu dinners ( no meat with roast dinners) and a normal roast dinner. Food was truly awful, chefs where calling for servers to collect our order for 5 mins. £40 it cost, I can honestly say the best bit about the food was the coke drink.

Rotten. Has gone downhill. Used to be our go to. Must have changed their chef. All flavourless, greasy and cheap. Curry wasn’t a curry it was chicken goujons and rice. Disgusting! Give it a miss. Won’t be back. Staff nice though.

Appears to be a popular spot as there was a queue and staff were busy. I got a rib and wing combo tray, but I don't think it represents good value. A lot of items listed for the meal but very small portions, for example, the mac and cheese was a mouthful that came in a plastic dipping sauce container. No better or worse than the other restaurants at the omniplex site.

Although very tasty food, portion sizes left a with a little to do. Kids meals however very good sizes. Service a bit lax, waitress not collecting empty glasses from table when replacing with new drinks.

Went for breakfast. The place was very quiet in comparison to the other eateries around. The coffee wasn't the warmest, and neither was the food. It's a bit stodgy and just OK. Won't rush back. There wasn't much service, and no one checked how our order or food was.

Nice friendly atmosphere. That’s about it. Prices are extortionate for what you’re served. Two of us had the sizzling chicken in peppercorn sauce. The chicken was bland, the onion rings the frozen variety, far too many fried onions & the sauce was certainly not peppercorn. It was more like a stew or a casserole but with no flavour. At £15.99 it was way overpriced. A complete waste of money. Won’t be returning.

We went there for a Sunday Meal and the waiting time was about 10 minutes, got out orders. The portion size was good. We were in the middle of happily having our meal when the server came and asked if we were done, my partner said no so she left and we carried on eating. My partner was done but I was still eating and the server came again after a few minutes and asked if I am done, again my partner said no. The food was great but lost the appetite to finish the meal as the servers kinda wanted us out. There are actually people who enjoys conversations while having a meal, why are the servers wanting us out already? What is the point of not being able to dine in peace?

Best service and food I have ever experienced 😍 the piri piri chicken made my mouth hot in a good way, definitely recommend trying it out. The owner was very nice to give us a free garlic bread pizza and some delicious desserts ☺️. 10/10 for this restaurant and I would recommend trying this place out 🙂

So disappointed we have always came here an has really friendly staff . Our son is autistic an dining out is hard, we go weekday as it's less busy. When we went we found one half of the restaurant closed. The other section was very busy I asked could we sit in the other part. I may add that previous times we have been here the staff have always seen that our son struggles and offered us to move into that area on this occasion she said no it's closed. I explained about our son and she still said no sorry it's closed. Onna positive we went a few doors down to blue bear grill who were fantastic from start to finish , they took has a closed part but they were very accommodating an offered dis we want to sit upstairs. Unfortunately I would most definitely not recommend jersey Street very sad as I would of previously.

Out for the day with my son and tried our luck without a booking and they were able to facilitate us even being busy, right from we walked through the door the waiting staff were fantastic, seated within minutes and drinks order taken, went for the mixed grill and my son had the southern fried chicken, from the first bite it was moreish, we both commented on how tasty it was, even though we were both stuffed we couldn't resist ordering dessert again they were fantastic, was pleasantly surprised when I was paying the bill, had been a couple of years from I had been in and it reminded me of how great it is so will most definitely be a regular again

The self selecting screens are great. No more rushed shouting in a bunged queue. You get time to think and customising your burger etc is easy, SO needed with fussy eaters. No need to drive thru to avoid standing chaos. Fast enough to still be called "fast food". Latte is a bit meh. Overall GOOD.
