Brothers in Newtownabbey

Visited here last night as a party of 4 and was blown away by the food! The young waiters were really lovely and friendly too. A hidden gem!

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. One of the very few restaurants that offer a vegetarian menu and we loved the food. First time at Brothers and we will definitely be back

Enjoyed the steak night would recommend here updated webpage and menus warm plates quality produce with properly trained chefs all boxes ticked. We will wait till the Christmas rush is over to visit again .

Have to say coming here for years just had a Sunday roast and wow shocked is an understatement ham was like a brick. Turkey was lovely roast potatoes and mash had a frozen taste from it place was empty and we waited 40 mins to get food hire it takes 40 mins to make our food is wild. its a joke can say alot more but leave it at that.

Just went for drinks good atmosphere

14 for Thursday steak night. Couldn't have been any better. Highly recommend Brothers Restaurant

Honestly top quality eating not hard to pay ... cremebrulee a must

Incredible steak night with wifey. Go on a Thursday and get the steak deal. Also ordered a dessert which was delicious. This place is such a hidden gem, you won't find as good food anywhere nearby.

Very poor no back ground music I know ow we where in the bar ,but nothing on the t.v other than some kind of cage fitting x it was 6 6.30 so maybe they should have had some other tv showing x usually love this bar x

Amazing food, amazing staff, what a great restaurant, we will be back, the restaurant is just outside Ballyclare on the way to Ballymena, you must try this place

Sunday lunch was lovely . Very quiet and table was full of crumbs and around our floor too. Just a wee bit better care needs taken but will definitely return

First visit to this restaurant, I didn't even know there wasa restaurant, apparently there is also a coffee shop, The food was delicious and promptly served.

Excellent restaurant. Best chips anywhere. Everything homemade from scratch. Catered for a v large family group everyone delighted with their food and service and price. Thank you

We were immediately welcomed by a friendly and patient server who was knowledgeable about the food and recommended a few vegetarian dishes. Brothers has a great menu for vegans and vegetarians and the food is generous, tasty, well-priced and fresh. It is full of flavour and immaculately presented. This was definitely one of the most impressive meals I have had. Very pleasant surroundings, clean and comfortable too. Why go into Belfast when Brothers is on your County Antrim doorstep? 10/10 Can't wait to return!

Went here on Mother’s Day with my family, the staff were very attentive and very professional, the menu was so good I honestly could have eaten here for a week as there was so much I fancied on the day, I opted for the venison fritter to start (amazing and big portion) the Rest went for salt & chilli chicken (very tasty and good sized portion) we all decided to have sirloin steaks for main, these were cooked to perfection (medium rare for most and 1 rare) the portion of chips that came with these was massive and the pepper sauce was possibly the best I’ve ever tasted, we had no room for deserts but I’d imagine they’d be awesome too, nice surroundings and lovely atmosphere in the restaurant, this is the 5 or 6 time we have been and every time it gets better & better, thanks to everyone involved…we had an awesome time

I was back in Brothers restaurant which is upstairs in the Five Corners Bar just outside Ballyclare. There were eight of us for a birthday tea and everyone came away happy! My mother in law is gluten free and she is a big fan of their menu. Food here is always good quality and you will never leave hungry! If you fancy good quality, tasty pub grub then this is the place for you!

This was my first visit to The Brothers under its most recent incarnation having heard very good reports. We arrived at 6:55 for our seven o’clock booking and were shown straight to our table. After removing my jacket I realised the restaurant was distinctly chilly and so had to put it on again - the sole visible source of heat being two small air heaters which clearly weren’t up to the job. A short time later we noticed the previously stone cold radiator beside our table had belatedly sprung to life. My goats cheese starter was excellent, the scampi main was adequate, although it would have benefited immeasurably from the use of a lighter tempura batter. My wife’s venison had the look, texture and taste of pulled brisket, and fell well short of expectation. The desserts of sticky toffee pudding and crème brûlée were fine, though hardly the equivalent of a Masterchef skills test. The final straw came when we asked to see the cocktails menu. This was produced and our order taken, only to be subsequently informed, that there was nobody working who could make a cocktail. It wasn’t as if they had called last orders, it was 9:40!! No apology, no explanation, and so, no tip! Anyway, that was our experience, hopefully yours will be better. It’s a stylish space, and clearly someone has put a lot of time, effort and no small expense into making it so. Sadly they have ignored the golden rule, it is the small things that matter, the devil is in the detail. This place is no more than adequate, but with a little passion it could be so, so much more.

Was passing on my way home from our trip to enniskillen and couldn’t resist a visit to brothers 5 corners. Haven’t been in a while but let me tell you that it was worth the stop To start me and my mum shared Salt n chilli chicken | curry mayo | sweet chilli |salad |. We always get it and it’s always a hit. Amazing to say the lease and that curry mayo could buy it by the bottle so good For mains we got the Sunday roast pork belly and the daube of beef exceptional dishes completely the apple and cauliflower purée was smooth and silky For dessert Crème brûlée and apple and blackberry crumble Great way to finish off a fantastic meal Will definitely be back in the near future

Visited for the first time with my Fiancée and had an exceptionally good meal. The food was very tasty and fresh, portion sizes were perfect and it was well priced. The cocktails were very nice as well, and again were well priced. Our waiter was friendly and very helpful. Can’t believe I haven’t been before now, will definitely be back soon!

Had a beautiful meal with my long time friend who has lived in Australia for 33yrs! Hadn't seen her for 16 yrs! Food was impressive as always... washed down by a £60 bottle of Moët lol She was very impressed. Why travel to Belfast when you can get this type of food on your doorstep! Thanks again guys!!

The Menu choice and food is amazing, we have eaten here a few times and never been let down. Staff very friendly and helpful

Had a lovely relaxing meal last night with the family. FOOD was excellent and service was very good, good access for people with mobility issues, lift insitu, I definitely would visit again!

Good food and cocktails. Friendly and prompt service.

Rare in Ireland, but a real restaurant almost "like at home" with just the right amount of specificity. A beef (rib dish) braised with Guinness! A treat... Served with the eternal mashed potato, I would have liked a little gratin dauphinois... Well, we're in Ireland after all!!!

Staff are very helpful and easy to get on with. Made our stay very memorable

Sunday 17.15, loads of availability, great food, vegetarian and kids menus available.

Great food...lovely friendly staff...could not fault this place at all....so warm & welcoming...😁

10 of us were here on 21.5.22 and the food and service was superb 👏👏

There was 10 of us for a family get together and all the food was amazing the service was good and nothing extra asked for was a problem. Highly recommend 👌

Staying with relatives in Ballyclare and took them out for a meal. Turned out it was Thursday Steak Night. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the meal was excellent. The restaurant is upstairs so be warned if you have mobility issues.

Always a pleasure going to Brothers, staff are top class, food is out of this world and drinks are the best about!

Lovely staff and meal excellent- except the fact it took almost an hour to arrive. Had nice drinks while we waited.

Very good . Great food and service

Great food, great people, great place

Great service, great quality food. Great value for money. A fantastic mother's day experience, did not disappoint as always.

Great food..friendly staff...reasonably priced .

I think Brothers is a hidden gem. Gorgeous restaurant, good atmosphere and the food is excellent. Everyone enjoyed their meal, not least my sister who has multiple serious allergies. The restaurant accommodated her needs to perfection.

Our family had an excellent Sunday lunch today at Brothers in Ballyclare (for the first time). Some of us had the roast beef and some of us had the turkey and ham, and both were fresh, hot, tasty and a pleasure to eat, plus the service was excellent, and the ambience peaceful. We will be back again for Sunday lunch, and the steal night too! Five stars.

Friendly Service from Natalia. Thank you very much for your excellent service. The food was also awesome which was a bonus. Totally recommend coming to Good Brothers New Lynn!

Food absolutely amazing. Staff friendly and helpful.

Very happy with our meal. Staff where all very friendly and helpful. All staff wore masks at all time and ask for scanned covid cert. Felt they followed all the rules to keep everyone as safe as possible. Also liked how they separated all the customers to different locations rather than all in the same sections which I experienced many times before.

Great food and great atmosphere.

Excellent food and friendly service - beef roast, burgers were all enjoyed by the family and desserts are lovely. We had the pecan pie, cappuccino cheesecake and chocolate pot. Should have taken pics but we got too distracted by the food!

Good parking, friendly staff. Tasty food, good portions. Love it here 👍🏻

Food is fantastic. I had the meatball pasta and can honestly say it was one of the nicest meals of my life. Highly recommend.. the dessert was as delicious as it looks 😋🤤

Tasty food, great service. We'll be back.

Menu comes via the app, but can't get a signal Small portions Over priced Slow service

Family friendly good food and good service a real gem

It was delicious would eat there 100% again

Great place to go for a meal good efficient staff ,very clean,offering over night accommodation if you are visiting in & around Ballyclare, reasonably priced.

Excellent food safe environment

Just back from the brothers..the meal was out off this world..and the service our waitress was outstanding. 😁

Amazing food, good service, I was very happy with everything!

Great place to eat, good pub grub

Some of the best food & staff around.

We had an excellent meal at Brothers Restaurant tonight... Very reassuring in terms of covid awareness, great service and delicious food...all at a very reasonable price. Look forward to returning very soon.

Food and service were excellent. Staff were attentive and professional and all areas were cleaned thoroughly after each set of guests left. Look forward to our next meal at Brothers

Fantastic food and service in a friendly local bar.

Very disappointed !!! Fillet steaks is too dry, fish is small and the batter was too well done and hard. Chicken with pepper sauce is like chewing cardboard. Eton Mess dessert is outrageous. We did like the Honey chilli chicken wings,it was very tasty. Sorry to be a Karen but we were really disappointed.

Eating out to help out. Great food, great service and good attention to current social distancing measures.

Foods great as usual . Decent pint of Guinness too.

Me and my wife had a lovely meal here. Would recommend. Very good.

Fantastic food and great service

The waiting staff were brilliant(and that really does make a difference) the food was great and the atmosphere was enjoyable. All in all I'd recommend it.

Very tasty lunch. 2 course £15.95

Great staff lovely food will be going back again

Delicious food, fast and reasonably priced. Staff was very kind as well.

Sunday lunch promised a lot on the menu but failed to deliver. My squid was lacking the spice it was supposed to have and was frozen I would guess. Hubby's Yorkshire Pudding with his beef was more like a Yorkshire pancake...totally flat! My turkey was so dry so they brought me extra gravy which had lumps in it. Gravy granules probably! All accompanied by overworked mash and overcooked vegetables. Won't be back.

Beautiful as always, great service and delicious food. Never had a bad meal in here!

Family meal for Mum and Dad's 60th Anniversary . Beautiful Meal and everyone loved their meal .Great service and Thanks to Heather and Jennifer for help this morning getting the room sorted. Def recommend x

First time but won't be our last. Great service, lovely food.

Always first class food and service !!

Mid week I went to this establishment, restaurant was not open food was served in bar.the food was fair but the young man serving was incredibly welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Later this week I returned to the restaurant. The customer service was appalling, to the point. I will not return.
