Fifth Quarter in Banbridge

Bad service. Mediocre food. I Was here twice before when it first opened and loved it was so so shocked at the downhill spiral since. The food was so unique and original in Banbridge, and had potential to be a real star. But since last year there has been no clear directive as to what this place is actually trying to be. I follow this place on social media platforms and they post maybe once every other week, basically no presence whatso ever. And when they do post it's in regards to another change in direction. Are you a fine dinning restaurant, are you a burger joint, are you a lunch/brunch joint, are you a café for afternoon tea? Now I know hospitality is suffering right now but don't just try anything and everything that comes to mind to save the place TRY ADVERTISING, TRY EFFECTIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE! That's the main problems. No consistency in opening times (completely different on google and website, and changes every other week for some reason). a friend arrived 2 weeks ago to try lunch only to be met at the door by staff from down stairs to be told they don't open lunch anymore as no one came. Not a great first impression. No evident customer service effort! Obviously the owner has no idea what they're doing but really need to wake up before it's too late!

Daube of beef inedible 90% fat my partner had the burger it was ok sadly lacking in taste Staff were friendly Very disappointed in the food to be honest

I took my partner there on Saturday night for the first time. We both had burgers which were both excellent. The fifth quarter burger with the daube of beef was best burger I've had for some time. Service was also excellent. Only small negative is how close you are to the next table but that's only a small thing. We will definitely be back.

We have always been fans of the fifth quarter but kids love a burger night so the new menu did not disappoint. We shared some fabulous tapas to start. Pork belly bites, halloumi fries & chicken wings were the best we have ever tasted. Although it is not on the menu yet, the chef brought us out some crispy fried gherkins to try. They were absolutely amazing, even the kids enjoyed them which says something! For mains , I enjoyed the Hawaiian chicken burger, hubby opted for a smashed bacon burger and the kids had children’s meals which were delicious as well as very reasonably priced. All in all a very lovely evening. Staff were friendly & there was a great atmosphere. Well done fifth quarter, we will definitely be back & wish you every success with your new menu.

This is very over rated. No atmosphere in the restaurant. Ran of steaks of our choice . Wld not be any rush back and the Vault is much nicer with atmosphere. V pricey and not worth the money

This was my first visit although I’d had several lovely evenings in the Vault pizza restaurant below. The menu isn’t extensive but we still had enough to suit our tastes. We shared a guacamole starter, followed by a Daube of Beef and Confit of duck main courses and finally a Tiramisu dessert each. The quality of food and presentation was excellent as was the service. We also had a bottle of French merlot and a couple of lovely espresso martinis. The ambience and attentive staff made this a perfect night out for about £110. It’s my favourite restaurant in Banbridge from now on.

This was my fourth time to Fifth Quarter and I was looking forward to it. I have written a couple of very good reviews for this restaurant but yesterday I went with a friend and the dinner was so bad. I got Mushrooms for starters and as I bit into it I crunch on ice! They were freezing. The beef dinner was also different, I had slices of beef instead of the usual braise of beef. The beef was tough and the vegetables were also quite tough. Then I got desert chocolate brownie with ice cream and it looked like somebody had sat on it as it was so thin. Just felt that whoever the chef was on Sunday that they didn't really care. Don't think that I will be rushing back.

We visited on a Thursday for the three courses for £25. Food was lovely, staff were friendly and we loved the decor. The only small piece of feedback we would give is that we’d have loved for jus with our beef as it was delicious!! Overall, thank you for a lovely evening 🙂

Stylish decor with friendly and efficient staff! The two menus offer give plenty of choice with an excellent Thursday early bird offer of 2 courses for £20! Steaks are on the main menu. The food was delicious served with greens and a choice of side orders. The Fifth Quarter is really worth a visit and the online booking is easy to use. Great theme nights also on offer through the year!
