Bronte Steakhouse & Grill in Banbridge

I visited the Bronte a couple of weeks ago, it was that good we returned a few days ago and it is honestly the nicest place I have been to, such a homely atmosphere, the service was great and the food was out of this world! Definitely recommend you go here, you won’t regret it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great food and the staff are nice if a little slow but it was a Friday evening so perhaps they were stretched too far.

Lovely staff. Excellent service. Excellent food ⭐ (top notch steaks) ⭐

We haven't been to the Bronte Steakhouse in many years so we're delighted when we got invited last night. It wasn't overly busy but it was a Thursday night. We had a table for 7 people, all seated quickly by friendly staff. Just missed their special priced menu that ended at 6:45pm but will definitely be back to try it as it was great value. We all lived our food, steak sandwiches with home made chips, onion rings, gorgeous mushrooms and boats of peppered sauce. A few of us had regular steaks and also chicken Curry. Everything was delicious.

Went for a family meal. The food was OK, but the service was excellent. Might be because it was a Sunday, but the style of the food and quality of the cooking was something you could make at home. I wouldn't NOT recommend the place, but the place is a bit out of the way for an average meal.

Long wait for food. Service very average with a bit of attitude. Not as good as before

Absolutely beautiful dinner! Everything was perfect from the starter to the main course! Will definitely be back! Top marks

Fantastic in every way, location, atmosphere service all first class. Food was delicious and cheesecake to die for. Outstanding

We had to pick off a Sunday menu only so we both chose the burger option. The burger was tough as a shoe sole. Not a normal beef patty. Really thick and dense. The taste was good but it wasn't prepared properly. For somewhere that is called a steak house, they couldn't really get a simple burger patty right. I would return but definitely not picking the burger option again!

Beautiful food as always! Had the Friday night steak deal and it was delish! Always lovely food here n lovely staff and a welcoming atmosphere

Sunday lunch...3 course...fantastic. was 25 years since I ate here. Well impressed with menu and quality. Though americano was a tad weak.

You'd expect a great steak and that's what you get. 1st class food and service.

First time ever here and it was better than expected. Food and service was first class. It was fabulous and my partner and I can't wait to go back!

Ate out with friends, the setting changed from previous years. Now a little alcove in main bar area rather than large dining area. Much better for conversation etc, staff very attentive without being in your face. All food excellent with us being able to relax and enjoy night out. Prices reasonable.

Second time here once before for dinner this time for lunch great food helpful staff nice atmosphere will be going back very reasonable prices

Brilliant service brilliant food and beautiful setting thanks so much

Well below the standard I know this place can do, All service is conducted by teens who think they’re talking to their mates. Table was booked for 8 and while we were there at 7:55 we got our first drink at 8:20, starters at 8:45 & main meal at 9:00 First impressions upon arrival is standing in the hall way until the hope of a waiter coming to seat you, a sign stops guests from entering the bar area until the table is ready. The food & service was ok but certainly not up to the usually standard we have received here. So overall 3/5 on this visit where previously it’s been an easy 5/5 each time, we will return and if it’s at the same standard as last night then I’d be really disappointed.

Amazing food great value Sunday meal, looking forward to try a midweek steak. Pleasant staff

Absolutely unreal feed. 4 of us came for a Sunday lunch. I had the roast beef and it was incredible. So tender and delicious. The champ was the creamiest I’ve ever had, so so good. Definitely recommend. I had cream of vegetable soup for starter and that was lovely too and nicely spiced. Will definitely be back to try their steak!

My wife and myself traveled down to here from Dungannon to celebrate her Birthday on the 30th June. It was well worth the drive down. We went for the stake night deal and my wife had some cocktails. She really liked the cocktail's she had the Bramble and the Passion Fruit Martini and loved them both. The service here was top notch from the minute we arrived until we left again. The staff were very helpful anf friendly. The food arrived quickly after ordering and everything was of outstanding quality. The location is amazing set in the beautiful area of County Down countryside around 4 mile's from Banbridge. I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion or for a romantic night out. We will definitely be returning customers.

Never had a bad meal in the bronte Young staff are so plessent and nice Food superb first class restaurant

The potato skin starter, followed by the Brontë steak burger; two exceptional courses. The sticky toffee pudding portion knocked me out (in a good way). Service was very solid on a busy serving afternoon (for Fathers Day).

Friday night steak deal is amazing value and quality. Must try

Coming here for years but now not so sure. It's more expensive and food isn't amazing anymore. But it's not bad.

Very nice and well priced. Left full and satisfied.

Very disappointing family meal will never return, cafe style food in a restaurant with terrible service

I thought the Bronte Steak House had a lovely, warm and relaxing atmosphere. The food was well presented, very tasty and plenty of it. I found the service extremely pleasing. The staff were very efficient and informative. They were also very friendly and helpful. No complaints from me and definitely a thumbs up to the staff and chef. I will definitely be eating out there again. Very enjoyable.

Staff are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble, food was absolutely top notch.

Excellent food and service. Steaks are excellent.

Service was excellent, food was delicious and served quickly. Cocktails were amazing

Was so looking forward to it but was very much disappointed cold plates cold food 😕 😒

Amazing steak and sauce, cold potato & veg, greacy soggy chips and onion rings, shame because its something that wouldn't be hard to fix, was also chased out to stand in cold hall to wait for the table even though there were tables free

Fantastic lovely food good service very well comeing restaurant a bit cold all together very good thanks William Austin

food and service all 5star have never had a complaint about anything ive had to eat here and been numerous times

Food and service was good. Atmosphere lacking

We've just had the most delicious meal served by the loveliest staff. The food was absolutely tasty. Great atmosphere. Thank you

The food was delicious. I recommend the hot 'n' spicy chicken wings starter. Relaxing environment, friendly and courteous staff.

We (myself, husband and 3 girls 5,7&9)went on the 18th December 2022 for santa sunday lunch. This was the first time here, the food was fantastic (I forgot to take any pictures) the staff were plentiful and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Santa was very authentic with a quality suit (just put it this was my kids didn't mention the word fake) the girls received a selection box as their gift which was great and no cheap toys in sight. Now more detail on to the food, overall it was fantastic, the kids' portions were a good size, especially for the 9 year, it was tasty too. My husband and I both went for the traditional Christmas Dinner (I know, go to a steak house and get turkey and ham, but I think if they can get this right in bulk, a steak will be amazing). I will definitely go again as I'm really looking forward to a good steak.

Lovely place but lacked atmosphere girls were lovely food was nice

As a removals company we do a lot of moves all over the UK and international and need somewhere to park and eat at night, We come across here and asked the gentlemen who was very polite and helpful. Myself the owner and a member of staff eaten here and WOW the food was incredible! Highly recommend to others

Booked here for a family meal and the food was amazing service could not be faulted. Will be returning without a doubt :)

Such a good start to my Christmas! From starters to desert everything was absolutely amazing! The servers were so friendly and accommodating and food was out of this world. Highly recommended!!

I just wanted to enjoy nice dinner meal with my family.But unfortunately the food was terrible.The meal presentation on the plate was like it was ordered from the cheapest takeaway possible.The aftertaste was disgusting and we couldn't even start eating.We left the plates full and we haven't received the understanding from the waiters.For them was more important the bill to be payed not the satisfaction as a customers Not recommend to anyone.

So sad. Order table, whats the point to order if I and my family have to wait 5 - 15 min for my reservation. And when the time is to order the main dish. We have to wait 50min for food. Well the story not ends here... no wonder this steakhouse called steakhouse. Because if you order some think else it will be bland and not appetising. It's like ordering food from bad takeaway. Bland and weird looking. No colour at all. If i want to get food cheap and packed in box i will go to fast food resturant. There i will know what i will get and how it might taste. But I pay £80 for food I want to get some sort of insurance it will not be = to takeaway food. Sory but not. Experiance not so good but very bad. Not going back there.

Food and service was perfect. The only suggestion I would make is... now that the bar/lounge is being used as a dining area it would maybe be better used to seat tables for two who want to enjoy quieter company.

Gorgeous meal and great service!

Lovely food and fantastic staff

Very disappointed with every aspect of this place definitely never be back

Beautiful restaurant, exceptional service from a great team. Never fails to come up trumps. Thank you.

An absolute fantastic place. Best steaks and Jane's peppermint aero cheesecake 😍

Friday night steak night won't be beaten for a quiet quality meal. Rural setting with pace, service and food to match. Would recommend and will be back.

We had a large family of 10 with mostly gluten free diet plus a child with autism (plus a few adults) and I can only say the staff were absolutely amazing and so obliging and patient plus the food was absolutely delicious and the price was extremely reasonable. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I can't wait to go back soon.

Food is amazing and the service was quick and staff really friendly and welcoming

Had the Friday night steak deal. Excellent value, great food and friendly service. The 4 of us really enjoyed our visit. You probably need to book in advance which is testament to its reputation. We'll be back!

Absolutely beautiful food will definitely be back

Food first class and plenty on plate

Brilliant restaurant Brilliant food & friendly staff 😁

Food was lovely and wasn't mad prices either. Will be back

Just wanted to say thank you so much for everything today for my sons Christening. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff were all extremely helpful and friendly and the food was DELICIOUS 🤤. Many thanks again for making it a special day x

Beautiful food & service was 1st class

Starters and steaks where amazing, could not fault them at all, would have given 5 stars only for burger which was very disappointing.

When we first arrived at the Bronte I couldn’t believe how dark it was leading up to the restaurant. There was no proper lighting and we had to use phone torches to guide our way. I’m only grateful my elderly granny didn’t attend as she most definitely would have fallen. The service was okay but having said that every server was 18 and below. There wasn’t one single adult or anyone who looked like they were in charge. My brother ordered a Guinness and it came out in an orchard thieves glass. That should have been the sign to run. The food was beyond bad. My curry tasted like cream sauce, the chicken was hard and veiny and the chips had been sitting under a heat lamp for god knows how long. My sisters burger had 0 sauce, it was dry and the chips were frozen. My dad’s plate was the only one that looked half decent, it’s just a pity it was covered in white hair. The whole experience from start to finish was brutal. The bronte has a great reputation but for what I don’t know. As it was a birthday meal it was extremely upsetting that no one enjoyed themselves, especially as it was so expensive. Will most definitely not be back.

As always superb service and top quality food

Excellent as always. Great food and great staff. We had some friends with us and the time here was flying by. Would definitely recommend.

Went here for a wee birthday treat last night. Have to say that the staff were absolutely fantastic! Could not fault them at all, they were so friendly and helpful. Food was brought out very quickly and it was delicious 😋

When i pay the price for this kind of food i want an experience, that could be presentation, atmosphere, music or even a cool plate. Unfortunately for me, this place felt like it hadn't changed since 80's ulster cuisine. Not bad, just not memorable.

Great meal, had the chicken and steak stack and highly recommend it 🙏

Never fails ticks all the boxes 👌

Never new of this place before as its a bit out of the road but im glad i visited it as the food was top notch and the staff were brilliant! Will definitely be back again

Great food and friendly service.

Out of several drinks we asked for (sprite zero/fanta) never mind the rums and wines. Bang bang chicken had no bang and wife's burger was very dry. Service was OK but far from spectacular.

Simply great food at a good price...

Lovely food, prompt efficient service and generally a very good experience

Loved it! Delicious meal, lovely staff, relaxed atmosphere, ample parking. Highly recommended!

Great friendly service good food, and safe surroundings

Good steak. Quick service nice clean tidy.

Steak good but sides could be better

Nicest food ever, staff are incredible at their jobs and catered us very well. 10/10

My husband and I had a meal here last night we chose the steak deal and it was just an average meal.The rose wine served with meal was undrinkable.We left it.

Very impressed with the quality of meat,really enjoyed the steak i had. Would have no bother in recommending this place yo anyone and look forward to eating there again.

Beautiful food first time going to the bronte steakhouse staff very welcoming I would definitely be back lovely atmosphere very friendly thankyou

We live just down the road lovely place so clean and food was top class as always

A regular haunt why always a enjoyable experience

First time eating out after lock down food was beautiful staff 1st class social distance was good well pleased.

The food was lovely and the portion size was perfect. I ordered the mixed grill and my steak was medium rare and for the first time ever, the steak arrives exactly how I ordered it. The meat was fresh and flavoursome, and the pepper sauce was perfect... The staff were all friendly and we did not feel as though we was being rushed, or that any queries about the menu or the food were irrelevant as you often find in a majority of restaurants. Our waitress Colleen was brilliant and very accomodating, warm and made us feel welcome. For dessert we were spoilt for choice but both went for the chocolate brownie and ice cream. For any chocolate lovers out there - you will not be disappointed with this! It was warm, gooey and just really yummy!!! Over all great night.

Unreal. Everything was beautiful. Couldn't get over the value for children. Meals where massive and even include a dessert. Cant wait to go back. Thanks

Excellent food, great service. I come from Edinburgh and I would recommend it over any steak house I have been to at home.

Another fantastic meal at the Brontë. So good to see them open again 👍

Excellent value for their Steak night.

Food was delicious and service was top class as always

Just had a takeaway Sunday lunch, excellent quality and piping hot, really enjoyed it and delighted they're offering this service.

Came here for 15th wedding anniversary meal with my wife. Food, service & staff are excellent. Had shared platter for starter, I had chicken curry for main & my wife had the chicken goujons. I requested that desserts were brought out specifically when I give my wife her surprise for our anniversary. Lady was very discreet and done it perfectly. We both love this place. Hidden gem outside Banbridge

Great place to go to you get a good feed in it would go back
