Granny Annies Kitchen in Belfast

Great little restaurant/pub. We were on our way to another restaurant and saw this one, menu looked ok so we decided to eat there. It’s Belfast city so didn’t expect much from any restaurant in the city. Food was great, large portions and tasty. Staff were fantastic, really really friendly and attentive without being pushy.

The food has not been good every single time we have tried it. Ordered chicken wings on our most recent visit and they were genuinely bad. Barely a bite of meat on them and the drowned in an oily sauce.

Here right now had the chicken curry omg god absolutely delicious portion so big couldn't finish it came with rice chips and poppadom lovely crunchy onions nicest I've tasted coming to Belfast and only found out about here recently highly recommend it 😋 😊 😀

Would be zero stars if it wasn’t for the atmosphere and the friendly staff. What they charge for a cocktail - £11.95 - is absolutely disgusting for the standard of drink!! I’m happy paying a decent price if it’s a good cocktail - at the start of our trip into Belfast today I got one in another popular bar for £10.50, in Granny Annie’s they charge £11.95 for what is practically a glass of ice! I got about 3 sips out of mine, and my hubby who got a Pina Colada couldn’t even get a sip between the ice and the froth. We have been here several times both for food and drink but we most definitely will never be back - it appears you are upping the price and very much lowering the standards!

Service was a bit slow but not the worst, the food we had was overall bland. My wife had the linguine and the chicken had absolutely 0 flavour and the chicken burger was tough as leather. Definitely worth a visit for the decor inside, maybe other items on the menu are better.

rude staff first bar were been to to Belfast , very disappointed !! lost customers for food and drink :( not welcome u’d expect at all :(

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. So glad we came here. Our server Ciara was so lovely and accomodating. I really enjoyed the nachos and seafood chowder. Everything was clean and very well organised. A must visit!!

Stopped in at the suggestion of a friend, good food, great service, super neat decor and atmosphere

A huge restaurant in the legal district of Belfast. The place is beautiful, very decorated and particular, then the staff is efficient and the menu is very rich with practically trattoria-like dishes. All very delicious! Prices ok, they even have a fixed menu to save some money

Popped in 1 afternoon food looked good Guinness good. Not seen any live music even though it was set up for it (probably an evening thing.Will return

Loved it the first time I visited it and loved it just as much on my second!! Defo going back for a third time!!

Great place, live music, lots of delicious food. I just ordered the wrong thing...

Our local when we was there great people great service great atmosphere thank you

Great place for pints and a dance.

I didn't eat there we went there for drinks and it was so fun

helpful, kind staff, good atmosphere

Great restaurant so quirky and interestingly decorated. Spent ages just looking around reminded me of my grannies house loved the glitter balls 😊. The staff are friendly and helpful. Great menu with delicious food. We had chicken curry, chicken goujons and fillet of salmon with banoffee pie for afters. Everything was was great and would definitely recommend.

What a place ...first time here ..amazing ..i love it .. Food great ..had Veggie curry ..chips and rice..portons real good ..best chips in years.. Staff was brill ..friendly . The ceiling is done like a floor with furniture etc ..👍👍 A big must is ....the cocktails

Food was deeply sub-par even by chain standards. Atmosphere was very aggressive. While there I decided to check reviews to see if they were just having an “off night”. Absolutely shocked by several reports of sectarian singing in the bar , the band playing Republican songs and people joining the “shouting of IRA chants. “. Heard sectarian and foul language without any intervention. Accent and bad language suggests people from less salubrious part of the City. I think I spotted a couple of blue ink “prison “ type tattoos - and that was only the women. Suggest management clamp down on sectarianism - they’re alienating at least 50% who find it offensive and another 30% who think it lacks class. Some education of staff in this field to “ nip it in the bud” needed too. I write as someone who wants every business in Belfast to do well.

Very nice restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Decent dish for the price even if not everything is homemade. The quantities are there. Nice dessert

Food Sub-par. Atmosphere very poor and aggressive. Accents and language suggests people from less salubrious parts of the City. Rough Rough Rough. I think I spotted a couple of “prison” type tattoos and that was only the women. Quite a smattering of ‘millies”. While I was there I googled the reviews and read the reports of Republican songs etc staff intervention. The reports didn’t surprise me from overheard loud conversations. I expect better and less partisan behaviour reports in the City centre.

Très joli restaurant avec une belle ambiance. Plat correct pour le prix même si tout n'est est pas maison. Les quantités sont là. Dessert sympa

Three ladies from Portrush decided to have a night out in Belfast. We visited this bar on a Thursday night at about 8.30 , ordered cocktails and a bottle of wine and settled down to enjoy a few hours drinking and chat. However Despite advertising on Google and screens in the bar saying the bar was open to 1am 20 minutes later, we were told last orders were being called! We were then rushed out and the bar closed at 9pm! My friend had to walk around Belfast carrying a bottle of wine like an alcoholic! Why sell a bottle of wine when you were closing 30 minutes later! I thought Belfast people were good drinkers and enjoyed a night out! Obviously not in Belfast! Should have stayed in Portrush! They are proper party people not like these Belfast lightweights!

Very friendly little pub with good food - no wonder they call themselves a gastro pub. Excellent vegetarian menu - which is great to see. Friendly and chatty staff that make the experience enjoyable. Huge venue. Close to the glider stop

Shopping mall— food court was ok. Was shocked to pay over £5 for coffee and muffin which tasted like cake

Loved this place never been anywhere like it before on holiday from the uk and was recommended by a few people food was lovely hope to come again

Bottomless brunch at £35 pp - limited choice of cocktails served in jugs. Tasted like cordial, little or no alcohol and just full of ice. The food was so unappetising and tasteless - 3 chicken goujons and a handful of fries. Save your ££ and go elsewhere there are plenty of really good bottomless brunches available in Belfast - very disappointing - definitely not recommended

4 of us went for £35 bottomless brunch and had a terrible experience. Food was awful 3 tasteless goujons, handful of frozen skinny chips & a bit of soggy salad in the bottom of a plastic basket. Cocktails were awful just jugs of ice and tasted liked diluted juice - little to no alcohol. We didn’t even finish the 2nd round. No cutlery or napkins were given, no customer service at all. We left before the 90 min time slot was up and went somewhere else. Definitely better places in Belfast for bottomless brunches.

Great food, I couldn't fault it, good portions too with good music on a Saturday night.

Disgraceful venue! Rude, cheeky, ignorant staff! For a venue that claims to be against hatred, displaying all the lgbt stuff, they show a lot of hatred towards their customers! Clearly don’t want to be working there and unhappy in their jobs! Won’t be back!

Fantastic pub with a brilliant atmosphere.

In for drinks busy place with good music

Husband and I went in for lunch on Sunday. I am only guessing but maybe the Head Chef was not there or something that day as I seen other reviews and they say the food is ok, but......The chicken ceaser tasted bland - the dressing was not good and the chicken didnt taste fresh, also the Korean chicken...chicken pieces were tough and tasteless so couldnt eat it. We got 2 Pina Colda cocktails which tasted like they had no alcohol in them. The dark haired lady at the door, in my opinion, was not friendly or inviting. If you just want to watch a football match and have a beer with friends this place is ok.

Brian and chef Raúl excellent attention and preparation Very rich

Awesome place to try on our night out in Belfast. Great drinks, and the atmosphere was hopping. No wait at the door to eat as we arrived just in time. It's a Ten minute walk from our hotel too.

Good and atmosphere where amazing

Good food, although somewhat overpriced for the amount of food Big, spacious place with music but it wasn't live.

Drinks are good. I just found some seatings were uncomfortable. But the ambiance is there.

After being ignored I asked if anyone was serving in the bar to be told by a young girl behind the bar can you not see I'm clearing away glasses so I left

Sat waiting 45 minutes for some food, when it finally came, it was was undercooked and lacked any flavour. The price was awful and it was so loud that I couldn't wait to leave. If there is a hell, it's Annie's.

Can't comment on food or drink cos we didn't get any! Set down with menus and whilst 4 members of staff saw us, we waited 20 minutes with not one person coming over to our table, totally not on, awful service. Ended up getting up and leaving.

Eclectically decorated! Delicious food, a good selection of beers and very friendly staff.

The food is average and the atmosphere is very good. The experience was ruined when the waiter “mistakenly” short my change by £10 on a £30 bill.

This place was perhaps the most evocative of all. Very lively and full of decorations and decorations (we went there during a pride 🌈). Food: good I must say. We had two meat-based main courses, one of which was chicken 🍗 curry and the other veal. Everything was fresh in my opinion 👌 to drink 3 beers 🍺 Service: We were always served by just one waitress who was always very helpful. Atmosphere: the real highlight of this pub! The level of decoration and embellishment of this place is incredible. On the walls you can find everything: clocks, paintings, chairs and tables attached to the ceiling, even a TV 📺 There's always live music I understand by the way. Really🔝 regarding the atmosphere. Price 💶: €66 for two main courses and 3 beers. In line with city prices. You definitely have to go if you're passing through Belfast!

Food was nice and there was good choice on the menu. Very helpful, friendly service and there was live music on while we ate which created a lovely atmosphere. Lots of hens and birthday party's in. Booking would ensure you get a table when you need it.

Nice food large portions, Hubby loved the chowder.

Not great, bit of an overpriced tourist trap. Below average pub grub at inflated prices. You’ll get better quality food at lower prices in basically any other pub in Belfast. Service was fine though, we found it friendly and fast.

Arrived for a lunch at 12.55 today waited 5 mins at the door whilst the dark haired girl chatted outside . Finally led to a table thrown a menu and that was that for another 5 mins as she once again chatted too people outside .Finally a younger lady got me a drink and asked would I like too order . Wasn't asked how I wanted my steak cooked , bucket of cutlery and no condiments thrown down in front of me without as much as a comment £20 spent won't be back have a word with your staff especially the Dark haired foreign lady at the door attitude stinks

Popped in here for early evening meal. Busy, but service was quick and friendly. Food was tasty, music and atmosphere were great!

Very good food in a cosy atmosphere.

Called in for a few drinks after a meal out. Our assistance dog was welcomed and we were given a table with a sofa for the dog. Staff even provided water for her. Stayed for a bottle of wine and the atmosphere was electric. Brilliant entertainment and great friendly staff

A place where younger people come for the 2 for 1 offer on cocktails. We have lost wings, which have been nothing special, and fish & chips. It wasn't bad, but I've tried better. It has a terrace and live music

We loved it so much that we came twice. The soup is very very good and the vegetables curry too.

Overpriced meal and drinks, incorrect order brought to table , dreadful shandy as virtually just lemonade and tasteless meal. Very disappointing :(

Poor experience at this bar. Definitely downhill since our friend last came who was also disappointed. £19.95 for a Sunday roast 2 course (which we didn’t think was bad)…. We didn’t decide to opt for 2 courses as we were disappointed with our lunch in the first place. Received our bill and our one course was £18.85!! If we had known it was this steep we would’ve had another course anyway. The dinner was disappointing and we got charged for extra gravy which was a shock (they also didn’t make us aware until we got the bill). A pint of lime and soda was more expensive than a full fat coke which was also a shock. Overall regardless of price, the dinner was below average and didn’t feel home made. Lady that served us was friendly and welcoming however didn’t inform us of the price without 2 courses or the charge of an extra gravy boat.

Great food, fast service. Music was a bit too loud for my liking and made it difficult to have a conversation. Left as soon as our meal was finished to somewhere else.

We have been here a few times previously when in Belfast and enjoyed great food, service and atmosphere. On this occasion we booked for early Saturday evening and had an absolute blast of a time. the place was manic with parties, a DJ and at least one Hen Party but we were given a table almost at the far end where we could talk but still appreciate the music and dancing. The starter was excellent, which we shared, as it was ample. I was being treated so had the rump steak rare - cooked to perfection and one of the best that I have had to date (the previous best was from this same restaurant). Wine was perfect and reasonably priced. Glad we returned here and glad we booked in advance - BUT - the best was to come. My partner lost her expensive prescription sun glasses down the back of her seat and didn't realise until she was home. She returned the next morning and couldn't be more appreciative of the helpful management and staff who quickly located the missing specs - big sighs of relief and bigger thanks to Grannie Annie's Kitchen. We will be back!

Sat outside with a pint in scorching weather a few weeks back, very friendly bar staff and a decent pint at reasonable price. P.

The waiters are humorous, the atmosphere is relaxing, the food is delicious and the price is reasonable. The live performers are great at playing and singing, it's a great place to be. Even if I dine alone, I feel comfortable and happy!

5 of us were out for the "Bottomless Cocktail Brunch" [Saturday 29th June '24] which cost as advertised for GA £35 pp' which we thought ok we'll go for it! as we have tried this type of eating out before and it had gone really well ,This was our first visit to try Granny Annie's Belfast!. But to our huge disappointment there was a timeframe of 90 Mins for you to be expected to finish a very large jug of cocktail of choice from a small menu!, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE springs to mind here!!! As when we were nearing the time limit none of us had finished the 1st jug, we were informed by a member of staff that we could have a refill once the drink was finished! [all good if you are a fish!]. However, when under pressure to consume in a given time it's off putting 'Granted, we were offered to take the remainder of our beverages to the outdoor seating provided but still we would not have been able to finish off a full jug each ,not a chance! Our table was originally booked from 2.30 to 4.30 , I would like to know, why book a 2 hour window if after 1 hour 15 min (not even 90 minutes they had spoken about!!) this was 3.35 we were told they need the table back by 3.45 !' As far as value for money goes it is actually (or felt very extortionate pp for what you get !) and just to make things slightly more awkward the bar person(s) decided we could have more ice than the actual cocktail drinks!!! 🧊 we managed to shovel out most of it to try and obtain the flavour of the contents of the jug ! As a group of friends we WILL NOT be using Granny Annie's again and most certainly WILL NOT be recommending as a good venue for a girls day/night out in our experience!! May I suggest that GA review it's policy as it stands and provides it's customer's of the bottomless brunch proper cocktail glasses to enjoy instead of tumblers ! It would make a massive difference to the paying guests! If other establishment's do the similar offer with proper recepticles to enjoy the occasion why can't GA ? To justify the way GA works with their "Bottomless Brunch"i might suggest a reduction in price !! It felt very like a fast food outlet in our experience! As Shania Twain would famously sing .......You don't impress me much !! Kind Regards Unhappy Customers

The decor is very pretty in the pub, but I would not recommend it for food or service. The roast I tried was very average and the food presentation was not good either. I would suggest serving the food on a smaller plate so it does not look as empty, the broccoli on the side looks very sad (even though the portion size is huge). The servers were rushing and were possibly tired around noon time, all interactions were very dry and rushed, I did not feel welcome.

5 of us went on Saturday afternoon for the bottomless brunch at 35! We've been to quite a few but this was our first here. Lunch menu minimal and portions tiny! We ordered from the list of only 4 cocktails to find it arrives in a jug full of ice to pour into glasses full of ice! And they confirmed our table was for 2 hours but on arrival told the bottomless bit was 90 minutes. Cocktail it is not let's call it fruit juice. And you can't order another until its finished which by the end you're totally sick looking at your jug!! ! Complete rip off and waste of your money just don't do it! Too many good bottomless brunches in Belfast to waste your money here. We walked out completely sober! Will never be back

Went for bottomless cocktail brunch with friends. Very disappointing. Not nice at all. Felt more on par with McDonalds for the burger and fries. As for cocktails, more slush puppy in horrible big jug. Not at all appealing and £35! Won’t be back.

Certain members of staff need to take a customer care course doubt I will be back

1st time visiting the venue after 'booking' a table. Seated towards high stools and when I told the server 1 of us has a bad knee completely unacommodating response. Disgusting behavior/attitude from the server. Will never attempt to return. There should be an option to choose seating type through the booking online! Other restaurants far more friendly.

Had the gourmet blue cheese burger, well put together and was good all on it's own. I'd come back again for sure, weekend evenings are supposed to be good with music.

Had one cocktail and I leave with a cold sore their glasses are not being cleaned properly at the end of my drink I could see all dirty marks and smudging all over my glass

Pros: - nice enough atmosphere - fast and friendly service - amazing live music Cons: DO NOT order the cajun cauliflower pasta if you’re not a MASSIVE fan of onions. The pasta was good, the sauce was good, but I don’t know what happened because two in three spoonfuls I took were 100% exclusively (mostly) raw onions. Seriously, there was so much onion. Now I like onions as much as the next guy, so I just kept eating and thought nothing of it… oh what a mistake I had made. Kept me up half the night because my stomach had never had to deal with so many onions in one go before. Every time I burped, the stench of onions filled the room and my throat burnt with the fire of a thousand flames for twenty minutes. Had to take a domperidone to get to sleep, and I STILL smell like onions 24 hours later. If you own this restaurant: nice place, but PLEASE amend your Cajun cauliflower recipe.

Chicken burger was a bit over done and dry. Great atmosphere

Went for bottomless cocktail brunch for my future daughter in laws hen party and was very dissapointed. Do not waste your time. Took at least 15 to 20 mins before we even got cocktails which came in jugs. Id say more than half was pure ice and very little cocktail. They tasted more like a slushy than any cocktail I've ever had.

Expensive all city centre pubs in Belfast .

went for an early dinner on Saturday. delicious food, lovely staff. beat to book a table, will definitely be back

Overpriced. Only realised when bill came that fries weren't included with an £18.95 burger and charged additionally! Burger and fries came to a total of £23.45! Shocking prices. Won't be back.

Consistently close early out of pure laziness on any given opportunity on a ‘quiet’ evening. Which would be no issue if it hadn’t been going on for months while advertising online being open till 1 am. No shame in shutting earlier but don’t blatantly lie online. Not a good look.

My sister and I, together with our husbands, decided to go here on our first night in Belfast. The name of the pub brought back memories of our mother, who was born in Belfast. We had an absolute ball. Cocktails were fabulous and the meals were really tasty. The highlight of the night though was the music. We couldn’t help but get up and join the dancing. So glad we visited.

An interesting place, atmospheric and tasty

My partner and I went yesterday, I can only describe the food as revolting! Veggie nachos to start, it was made with some kind of artificial gloop instead of cheese. The veg curry half & half was made with cheap curry paste, poppadum was stale and chewy. The veg burger was a cheap vegetable grill. The staff were friendly and helpful but definitely recommend you avoid at all costs! Our experience was totally unreflective of Belfast.

Walked out before getting served as the guy on the door was rude & unhelpful lost a table of 5 customers

Was able to walk in with no booking. Didn't have long to wait for service and just a nice gap between starters and main. Recommend the wings and salmon

Popped for dinner! Food was amazing! Staff really helpful and nice!

This is a spacious venue with a captivating interior. The service is very friendly, and the food is both tasty and generously portioned. It has a genuine pub atmosphere, making it highly recommended.

I was here for the first time and won't be back after spending 100 quid on drinks I was apprehended by the doorman and told to leave after I ridiculed 2 girls when I tried to tell him I didn't he wasn't for listening and I never ridiculed anyone he ushered me out hsd a great time up until that but no I won't be back getting put out for something I know 100 per cent I didn't do had a great time up till that put a dampener on things but no I won't darken the door of it again and the Guinness is awful one of the worst in belfast

Staff are funny and sound food deal was amazing the music was really good

Can't beat this place. Food is delicious & portion size is big. Staff are really friendly & helpful with dietary requirements. Atmosphere is fantastic, they have a live band on & the music sounds amazing. The decor inside is very quirky ,, sure takes you back to your own granny's house & memories from your childhood home.

Couldn't rate food as we only had drinks. Beautiful pub with good music and vibrant atmosphere. Will return

Was Okay but wouldn't pay for what we did Me and my partner booked for dinner before a show and tbh never again. Firstly the cocktail.... not the nicest and the main. For what you pay is not worth it. My partner had the steak and requested medium rare, which came out blue It was fine bar the fact it was cold to touch. The portion sizes could be better or at least taste better. And I know drinks aren't cheap but 92 quid for 4 drinks, 2 starters and 2 mains is mad. We honestly had cheaper that included a bottle of wine and 4 drinks and starters, mains and desserts. It's more of a party night with the girls than a date night place tbh.

Cozy but busy restaurant with food at very reasonable prices.

Order from menu, wasn’t offered the early bird menu, so food came wasn’t very nice also order to pots of tea food came down try some left the rest. Tea never came down so went and ask for the tea was told the person who took the order went home, as I went up paid there was the woman who took the order still there, also never ask how was your meal. Stirfry vegetables and the bbq Korean chicken, don’t order tuff as old boot.

Arrived early but able to have table. Food was great and apple crumble was gorgeous. Service was also great. Throughly enjoy the meal

Food was not good and over priced. Both my partner and I ended up with food poisoning. Service was also terrible… our waitress completely disappeared and it took forever to get our check from a different worker

We had lunch here recently. It wasn't great but filled a gap. £2 charge for one small pot of mayonnaise, I presumed it'd be in a bottle when I asked. I'm diabetic and they only had bottles of ketchup on the table. Staff were fine. The bathrooms smelt odd. I think it's more of a drinking place.

Very good atmosphere, whether you are eating or in for a drink. Food is of a high standard and suitable for large or small groups. Quick service with promotions for both food and drink.

The atmosphere is ideal for catching the Irish vibe. The sticky toffee pudding was too heavy, the jam&coconut sponge flour cake was dry and the sauce on top wasn't good. Coffees were average. However, the employees' attitudes were rude. The waiters were throwing the orders at our table and did not have the courtesy to respond to our thanks. They were very sullen. Even though the atmosphere of the place is nice, I don't think it can be recommended for the rest.

Great atmosphere, very nice staff. Food was served hot. But please wipe those tables once in a while...sticky. 🙈

We were recommended to this place by a tour guide and it did not disappoint. The roast dinner and dessert were fabulous - tasty and great portions.

Group of 6 adults. We popped in on the off chance of getting a drink and something to eat after the St Patricks day parade. The doorman/bouncer was helpful in finding us a table but it was right at the back of everything. We enjoyed our drinks and meal. The steak & ale pies were excellent and the Sunday lunch was a great portion size. The only thing that let this place down was the waitresses or lack of them. Really slow service and took ages for us to get the bill. Other than that I would think this place would be great for a night out.

Great lively vibe. Lovely food and staff very friendly.

I visited Granny Annies last Friday, 5th April, it was 7.30pm and I had my cousin with me. It was a quick.stop as I was catching a train back to Bangor, where I live. We'd only been there a maximum of 15 minutes, we hadn't spoken to anyone except to order a drink (which we didn't get to drink) one of the bouncers, door staff,whatever they call themselves told my cousin and I that we had to leave,we were given absolutely no reason, we were not allowed to finish our drink,I was extremely shocked. I have contacted the management of Granny Annies and explained everything to then,they took lots of notes,I told them to look at CCTV and speak to the doorman involved,they have that right..all of a sudden...they have gone very quiet

We went in for a quick bite to eat we got starters but the portions were massive. Nice atmosphere and setting and the staff were very nice. There was live music at the time which made the experience even better. The cocktail deal is very good aswell

Brilliant atmosphere! Food was fantastic too.
