Bull & Bear Grill in Castlereagh

Tonight was our first visit to Bull & Bear. We went for a Pre Cinema meal and were not disappointed. In fact the food was just amazing. I had the Mighty Combo, it was absolutely beautiful, the ribs just fell off the bone, the chicken and pork were succulent. My wife had the Spaghetti Carbonara and it was delightful. The welcome on arrival by Anna was so warm and friendly. She showed us immediately to a lovely table. The service by the young staff was top drawer. We will definitely be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This place is like our second home!! The food is absolutely delicious and the staff are so lovely, friendly and welcoming. Nothing you ask for is ever too much trouble. I would definitely recommend visiting on a Sunday, their roast dinners are second to none 😍

Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Will be back!

So many red flags we should have picked up on. Walking to the door the waiter starting his shift rushing to work who spat out his gum Infront of us on the street and didn't hold the door open, then when asked if it was a table for four, when I responded telling the waitress "no 6 the other 2 are coming" she winced and then lead us to our table, then seamed back on track, drinks and food ordered, drinks arrived, when food arrived only 5 meals arrived, the waitress apologised and they rushed the lasagne out, then she had the audacity to come back a minute later and ask if the lasagne was warm enough inside! The rest of the meals were bland/overcooked/tasteless. Tried to order deserts, waitress has to come back to double check order (which she got wrong) then after waiting an excessive amount of time went and asked how long until the deserts would be, to be told "have you not got them yet" this was the final straw, asked for the bill and told them we don't want the deserts now, obviously irate customers at this point we got a poor apology, no offer of discount for the issues nor any attempts at reparations. Never will be back. Will do my best to get others to avoid at all costs.

Honestly one of the worst dining experiences I've ever encountered. Today, 26th Oct, We where advised the kitchen is busy so there may be a little wait on food, which I'm fine with. 1 hour and 10 minutes later, noone had approached the table to advise on wait time, check if we needed anything. Fast forward 1 hour 30 minutes, two tables beside us who arrived after us got served their food? I mentioned this to the staff who came back to say it is next to be served. 1 hour and 45 minutes later after ordering, I couldn't wait any longer. I went to the till and told them I was leaving, no offering by Management, no explanation and handed a bill of £16 for 4 Colas. Diabolical service from start to finish. Do yourself a favour and visit another establishment before wasting your time here.

Tried the newly opened restaurant in Bangor. Waited 1hour 10 mins for our food. Portion sizes poor and food average. Kitchen staff clearly under too much pressure. Disappointing 😕

A great girls night out. Service was excellent, food was great and the restaurant was spotless. Very friendly staff.

This place is a hidden gem in dundonald , been here a number of times and i cannot fault anything from the food , service or price everything cooked fresh, staff always checking on guests and food is greatly priced with massive portions cannot wait to return again will need to take shares out if i go so often this is how good it is 😀

Unbelievable, walked in and managed to get a table, the manager Laura was so polite, pleasant and efficient, out waitress Jessica was brilliant, knowledgeable of the menu she helped guide us in our choice. The food was tasty, well presented and hot. Great menu, great atmosphere and they’re opening up a new one in the Bloomfield complex at Bangor. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Food arrived cold, and one of the sauce pots had opened and leaked everywhere! Making the bag break, and all the containers soggy and the food is ruined. Think price of wings to how many you get is extortionate!

Great value for money food was very warm good portions will be back

Food was amazing and staff wete lovely

Food good service not so good. Ordered turkey and ham dinner as stated on menu but a lamb dinner came out. Was then told they weren't serving turkey and ham dinner. Then ordered roast beef dinner which was nice but not so nice when family were already finished. Then ordered dessert but had to wait 25/30mins on it.

Been here a few times. Service can be slow, but It’s been busy. Bit of a wait on food but it’s fresh and cooked well, always get a table aswell. Staff are friendly too.

Great food, service was very good and staff very friendly

We thoroughly enjoyed a meal here last weekend. The menu offers a fantastic variety of choice, the food was piping hot, extremely tasty and generous portions. I was also impressed that as we were given menus, we were also advised that one of the items was sold out, so we knew in advance what not to choose. We each ordered something different and were delighted with what was served up. The cherry on top was our wonderful server, Molly. Molly was friendly and incredibly attentive (without being intrusive). She could not have been more helpful - gave us plenty of time to study the menu, yet appeared as soon as we showed signs of being ready to order. There was no desperate attempt to catch someone's eye when we needed an extra spoon or were ready to pay. Well done Molly, you are a star.

We arrived at about 7.30 on a Saturday night at very short notice as a complete long shot but the manager immediately got us seated and served. Very good service and the food was lovely, well portioned and fairly priced. Checked on us regularly and all staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommended and will be back.

Service is 100% but food let's them down. Ribs overcooked and hard.ost of food especially chips was cold. Corn bread that my son got with his chicken stack was still raw. How the chef didnt notice this. Food is very greasy. Yuk!! Ordered chicken nuggets for one of my children and they started wrenching. Think they knew we didn't like our food as there was a LOT LEFT. Paid and left tip only cos the service can't be faulted.

Last time I got the Sunday roast from here it was amazing with a beautiful piece of roast sirloin (as described in the menu) but today the beef was 2 small very dry pieces of a very cheap cut of beef- most certainly not roast sirloin. I was so looking forward to the roast I had last time but was really disappointed.

Big portions of good grub. Would recommend getting rid of wall down the middle may open the space and be better atmosphere.

Don't waste your money, overcooked, cold and overpriced

Had a great experience at Bull & Bear. Food was delicious and great big portions. The waitress Poppy gave great service, with a friendly manner and a welcoming smile.

Our first time eating here and it was a lovely experience, the staff were all so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We had a burger and chips and a steak and chips. The absolute highlight was the pepper sauce ! ! It was delicious, best we have had. If they sold that by the bucket we would have one. The desert was apple crumble and custard, my favourite all time, this did not disappoint. My partner had the cheesecake and he really enjoyed it. The portions are just the right size, not to big, and the food tasted lovely. We will definitely be coming back. So glad we tried it.

Really lovely staff and the food was amazing to match! Will defiantly go back again, would recommend more people to go so that it gets a more lively atmosphere too, absolutely brilliant!

Very happy with everything. Staff friendly. Food came really quickly. We had the Portobello burger, so tasty 😋. I noticed when people left not only did the waitress Heidi clean the table but brushed up the floor . She asked other diners was everything ok. Felt like she cared.

Went with family for dinner, had a burger made gluten free and dairy free for me, tasted great, staff could not have been friendlier

Great dirty burger - absolutely loved it. Good music and decor.

Modern and welcoming atmosphere. Fast and kind service. I ordered a very well served hamburger, it comes with lots of fries. PS: for those who are from South America or mainland Europe and are used to the "red" meat in the center, you have to order the burger rare here. Their "to the point" is our "well done".

We visited the restaurant to celebrate a family members birthday. Initially rang to query the drinks menu and staff were very helpful. Upon arrival we where greeted by very friendly staff who gave us adequate time to order, some of us took advantage of the Cinema deal which included two courses for £19.95. When the food arrived the portions were huge and every single meal was of great quality. Will definitely recommend to others to try.

A couple of things impressed me about this restaurant. Young staff that were pleasant, who could hold a conversation, were attentive without being intrusive and its cleanliness. No doubt you've sat at in a restaurant and your hands and clothes have stuck to the table. Not here and I watched them clean the tables and sweep up from under them. Additionally, portion sizes were available either as regular or large a nice touch. Although this is a diner experience and that the menu items are predictable some care and attention was taken with food quality and presentation. For example fat chunky, not greasy chips, meaty fork tender ribs with tangy barbecue sauce and corn bread that tasted like corn bread and hot plates. So many simple things done well made for a very pleasant dining experience.

First time here, food beautiful, good portions. Staff warm and friendly. Definitely be back.

We visited here on 1/8/24 and wer not disappointed, service and food was lovely! We had the pit master burger with katsu curry loaded fries and the bronx burger with onion rings it was so tasty!

The immediate draw to this restaurant is the styling - retro modern American diner style on the outside which follows to the inside with nice comfy seats. The seats are a bit tight to the tables though, so if you are a plus sized person then you may not fit so well! The server was very pleasant and attentive, got the orders right and generally treated us very well - good job on this front. Onto the most important part - the food. I went for the chicken and waffles from the breakfast menu - it was lunch time but this menu is offered until 3pm so why not! Immediate reaction to the dish was that it was a generous amount of food - no complaints on this this front. The actual dish had it's issues though. The bacon on top was cooked fast at high heat. This is OK, just not ideal because it means the fat is completely unrendered, or in other words it was not cooked enough to eat (unless you like gristle). Lower heat for longer to render and get some crisp on the fat would be much better. The waffle was excellent. You could tell that it was freshly made to order using batter in a waffle iron - as it should be! Lovely, soft, moist - couldn't ask for a better waffle! The chicken was of a good quality, not over cooked or anything so good in that regard. The issue with it was the complete lack of seasoning. Literally no salt or pepper at all and they were plain chicken strips, not 'southern' style with a spice mix coating, just plain. So that leads to a rather bland taste experience that is not helped by the sauce/syrup that comes in a tiny little jug. There were two issues with the syrup. The main issue, that links to the bland chicken, is the lack of it. The jug was very small but then barely half full so for the amount of chicken and waffle you get, it gets spread super thinly so you don't get much flavour from it. The second issue is that it is described as 'maple' but in fact they gave me maple flavoured (maybe) golden syrup, aka the cheap alternative. I wouldn't have minded so much if there was plenty of it but there wasn't, and maple flavoured golden syrup is never as punchy of flavour as real maple syrup so that compounded the issue. The hash brown was fine but doesn't have any place in this dish. So all in all, a reasonable attempt but issues with dish composition, cooking of parts of the food and corner cutting to save pennies that ultimately damage the experience. Small improvements could make a huge difference here!

We went for the pre-cinema special. 2 courses £19.99 it was good. My burger was a bit dry for me but everything else was tickety boo. Staff are lovely and helpful. I will go back and try the ribs- always a good choice.

Really amazing service every time here. I had been experiencing a severe dental abscess at the time so I was only able to eat small bite sized portions before becoming full, they allowed me to order from the kids menu.

Excellent food. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very enjoyable meal.

Nice place, maybe a little too generic, but the food was good. Sizzling chicken dish is a recommendation as was the chicken burger with a side of wings. Friendly wait staff.

Food was beautiful, the staff were very attentive and friendly, highly recommend

Food was amazing best we have had in a very long time we would definitely recommend it and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.

We had an absolutely amazing meal after an incredibly long day. It's been 3 days and my mother in law is still singing the praises of her perfectly cooked steak. That the 4 of us could order starters, mains, desserts and drinks for under £170 was fantastic. We can't wait to come back and see you again.

great food quality and portion sizes, and a quick delivery

First time we went the food was lovely but tonight was a different story, food was disappointing, we order sizzling honey chilli chicken, it wasn't sizzling at all when it arrived at the table. We waited 20 mins before are drink orders were taken, then another 20 mins before are food order was taken, and then waited a further 20bmins on the food arriving, it wasn't good service at all. Garlic potatoes were dry, 2 iteams was missing, had to say and then waited again for them to arrive. Wouldn't be my first choice of restaurants in Dundonald to visit again.

Excellent service, good food and good value.

Just ate here and the food was superb!!! The guy that served us was brilliant and the woman( I guess manager) was equally brilliant. The portions were huge and we all tried each others food. The price was extremely reasonable for the size of the portions. I would definitely recommend this place and I'm fussy as I work in the industry myself. We will definitely be back. Thank you. Jay,Jess and Izzy

Food was amazing 😍 fresh, well presented and a lot of it for the price, will definitely return!

I can not rave about this enough. The decor simple but elegant. The staff is very friendly. Now the food… it was amazing. Value for money and the food tasted extraordinary. Make sure you order the gravy because it is so so good

Food was exceptional and service was fabulous. Never disappoints and will definitely be back!

First in early morning for great breakfast Nice big hot portions, lots of choice and very nice lady serving us. Nice clean friendly place

Had a lovely dinner here. I am gluten, dairy and egg intolerant and would struggle to eat out and not feel disappointed. I had a fabulous gluten free vegan pizza and fresh vegetables here. The food was great quality. My dad had a sizzler and it looked great and plenty of it. The service was very good. Very friendly and welcoming. I did not feel like I was a bother at all, which can happen at times. Thank you

Come in to this place often food put on the table amazing but the food delivery absolutely shocking for the price chips aren’t even cooked fully over 70 quid majority going in the bin that was an eye opener on how diff delivery is compared To sitin

Food was nice but unable to cater for special dietary requirements. The manager was quite rude about it, offered very unsuitable alternatives and made my friend feel embarrassed in front of other customers.

Mandatory stop if you are near Dundonald! ⭐️ Menu is extremely extensive and suited for even fussiest of eaters! Whether you are a pizza lover, salad enthusiast or steak is more to your liking, they have it all!! All to wash down with classic cocktails and 5⭐️ service to go with it. And let’s take a minute to talk about their Apple Crumble! Good Lorrrrrrrd! 🤤 it’s a must! Thank me later! (And this is coming from someone making cakes for living!! 🫶🤤🤤🤤) Overall, always a lovely experience and food, will be back again soon ⭐️

Absolutely amazing food and service is outstanding. Staff are so friendly and engage in conversation especially Anna, Storm and Wiktor, which just made the whole experience that more wholesome. Portions of food are big and food is very delicious with a wide variety available! Would highly recommend.

Lovely birthday dinner for my Grandson

This is the third time we've eaten here and it's amazing! The portions are HUGE! plus kids eat free on a Sunday! We had the pleasure of having a server called Heidi, who was helpful, friendly and nothing was a problem! Excellent service all round. Thank you Heidi!

Fabulous service and great food and so much of it ! , we will definately come again , very impressed .

Had lovely lunch with my son. My first time eating here but definitely be back. Service one of the best we've ever had matched by delicious, freshly cooked food.

Food was not as described, very spicy. And they still charged for it. Tho I sent it back, I was not informed of having to pay for it. And if I had to exchange meal, would have been nice to know, could have gotten something to go will not be back

Came in for a bite to eat after a day out, food was lovely staff were very polite and attentive especially Cody who served our table most of the evening, level of cleanliness was very high, atmosphere was pleasant. Loved our stop here before our journey back thank you 😁

We had a lovely meal, great service and great food.

We just had our sons birthday dinner here, service was outstanding, food fantastic and it was very clean and well presented! Staff were very accommodating to our needs!

Eaten here a few times now and have yet to have a bad experience. Both maitre d’s are very personable and have remembered orders from previous visits. All staff very pleasant. Menu is simple but well put together. Food has always been served hot and tasted great!

Great food, plenty of families due to kids eat free 😀

We tried here for lunch and we both had a great meal. Food was tasty and the service was quick. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere about the restaurant.

Nice friendly place to eat good choices of food for all

We will definitely be back! Excellent service and amazing food :)

Just finished a meal here first time will definitely be back sizzlers were so nice and the kids spaghetti was amazing. Staff were friendly and nice atmosphere

Thierry was an absolutely amazing waiter and all are very attentive staff members. We enjoyed our dinner, fair price. Thank you very much for your best services.

Great food, nice people, you should go!

First time trying here, normally i go to wolfes. I will be returning to try their other menu options. Their lasagne was AMAZING! Chips cooked to perfection and salad had an amazing dressing. Staff couldn't have been more helpful or knowledgeable about the menu. Worth a visit!

Been a few times for evening meals and it has always been excellent. We have now started going for breakfast, and it absolutely superb. Probably one of the best fry’s in East Belfast.

We were greeted by a lovely friendly member of staff, made us feel very welcome and sent us to our table. Ordered our food, which I was so very disappointed at, I ordered the honey chilli chicken. Which I can only describe and the worst I have ever tasted, little to no sauce and 3 battered chickens with far too much battered and no flavour and so dry! I didn’t eat it. My husband ordered a pizza, very very very salty, too much cheese and topping were just loaded on top! Again couldn’t finish his dinner. We were asked if everything was okay, the waiter could clearly see it wasn’t as I didn’t even touch my dinner! And just took my plate away! It was our first time there! And I can tell you, I won’t be back again!

Took my son for some lunch & a catch up, we decided to try here, to be honest, all the other eateries were packed out, so our decision was made for us. However, I'm glad, because it was my first time here, & the food was great, the pricing is fair, the atmosphere was good, overall a nice experience. 👍

Love this place for fresh delicious well priced food. We had the 2 course lunch which is £19.95. We shared garlic/cheese bread starter and the trio of ice cream for dessert. I opted for the sizzling chicken mushroom onion with pepper sauce. The other half had rack of ribs. We had chunky chips and onion rings between us as our side options. Portion sizes are huge! The service is always fantastic in Bull & Bear especially Anna she is,apart from the delicious food, the main reason we keep coming back. She makes you feel she is inviting you into her home & is a credit to your establishment. It is by far the best restaurant there has been in that unit ever since they were built. And their toilets are always kept immaculate. We have been here 3 times in the last adt couple of months. We don't go anywhere else in the Enterprise park. We wish Bull & Bear Grill every success in Dundonald!

Good quick service and very kind staff :)

Attentive Friendly staff. Food was great.

The saff as so friendly and helpful, the food is absolutely gorgeous. Really worth the money.

The food was fab and the service and friendliness of the staff was second to none. Thanks folks for a great night.

First time here The food was lovely, something for everyone on the menu, generous sized portions & great value for money! Anna gave us a warm welcome, her polite & friendly manner just made the whole experience even better. Taylor also was very polite & attentive throughout our visit making sure everything was ok for us. 10/10 will definitely return & maybe try the breakfast menu next😌

We had a lovely dinner at Bull and Bear. The staff were really friendly and attentive, especially our server Poppy. We’ve never been disappointed and will certainly be back.

Lovely food, steak cooked perfectly and great service from Cody!

Got the lasagne. Tasted like it was reheated

First time visiting for breakfast. Lovely food, good choices and friendly staff. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Wow! First time eating here and will definitely be back. Great selection for vegetarians as well as meat eaters. I love, love, love the Portobello Burger! The staff were lovely, really warm, friendly and helpful - made us feel very welcome. Service was very efficient and the food was really great. My only criticism was that the portions sizes are a bit too big and I felt bad that I couldn't eat it all.

Stopped in here for a late Sunday "lunch" twice and not been disappointed.

The waitress Anna who served us this evening made the experience really lovely. Such a friendly and lovely server, full of chat and good advice re the options. Portions are huge btw

I was here with my young daughters yesterday for their roast dinner and it was beautiful! The mash, the meat, the veg! All beautifully cooked and so much flavour. We arrived around 1pm and it was quiet. Staff were attentive and polite. The kids meals were brilliant. Large kids portions (I have 2 toddlers so maybe one portion would've done them both) they had sausage and chips. Proper pork sausages and the chips were lovely! This resturant isn't like those around the rest of the omniplex. It has proper resturant food and style!! I will definitely be back. Cant wait to try their breakfast menu.

This meal was so disappointing. Chips were overcooked and fish not remotely crispy. I have ordered many times before- all good - tonight awful!

We had a child free Sunday afternoon & decided to head out for some food. I wanted a proper lunch & my partner wanted a fry. Bull & Bear did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a lovely warm welcome, seated and drinks order taken. The staff allowed us plenty of time to view the amazing menu and answered any questions we had. I opted for the steak sandwich and my partner had the big breakfast. We can honestly say it was the best food we have had in a long long time & we are already planning our next visit with our girls. Reasonably priced, amazing friendly service, lovely atmosphere with good music but most of all amazing well cooked and beautifully presented food. Thank you so much!

We (two of us) each for a fry and a hot drink. The service was exceptional (a lovely young Polish lady with excellent English and a wonderful attitude to life). The ambience was conducive to a quiet chat without being overhead or feeling rushed. While we've had a better Ulster fry in the past (I'd be fussy in this regard), we would nevertheless highly recommend the restaurant.

First time going to Bull & Bear and it was fantastic. Staff are really friendly as soon as you walk in and didnt have to wait to long to be seated. Staff are very attentive and quick and always happy to help. We were really impressed by the variety of dishes on the menu but what we enjoyed is the menu isnt overloaded with choice as too many restaurants are. The food was quick to come out and it was really tasty and so filling. Portion sizes are great and if you were part of a large party sharing between each other everyone would walk away happy. I would highly recommend Bull & Bear to eveyone you wont be disappointed

Came here for the first time today for dinner, we hadn’t made a booking but they accommodated our party of 5 just fine. The staff were very welcoming and also very helpful. The restaurant itself was very clean and I loved the decor. The food was all delicious, I had the rump steak which was cooked perfectly, I will definitely be coming back again.

The food was fantastic had the pulled pork nachos as a starter. A large portion for a starter followed by the chicken stack. Service was great the tables cleaned before we sat down.

6 of us went on a Monday night. We chose off their 2 courses for £20 menu (Mon-Thurs). Everything was beautiful and hot. Service was great. Lovely cocktails. We will be back. Thanks to Laura and the young man serving, sorry we didn't get your name.

The staff were amazing brilliant service, the food was absolutely beautiful will definitely be back soon 😋. Lovely we atmosphere in the place even with the kids lol

So disappointed I won't be back 1st time visit with hubby three kids 8. 6 and an 8 month old baby to celebrate a birthday. Our food was grand but the kids was so poor £7 for tiny portions no drink £4 for a baby bowl with carrots that couldn't be mashed so couldn't give them to her! Addressed an issue with the ham in my daughters pasta that was fatty 😳 and put her off! But no offer of a discount of anything. I feel this restaurant is Not child friendly!!

Great and extensive menu. There's absolutely something for everybody. Big portions, good prices, tasty food and good service. I'll be back and would happily recommend to others.

Absolutely delicious, have eaten in the restaurant many times and the delivery does not disappoint, if I was nitpicking I would have liked slightly more pulled pork in my meal, ribs where awesome, chicken tenders where lovely and the chunky chips where really nice, not greasy at all 5 starts

Food was lovely, had a fry, lovely an warm no grease, sausages an bacon were beautifully. Wud HIGHLY recommend the place

Amazing food massive portions excellent service highly recommend 👌 👍
