I visit Greenvale Hotel regularly, for lunch with friends. My friends travel a distance to meet me. The food is fabulous (tasty quality food) and the portions are very generous (reasonably priced). The staff are polite and helpful. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing. Overall, I could not rate the Greenvale restaurant highly enough!! Easy to access and parking is easy. You will not be disappointed!! I will be back….. soon!! 🤗🎶⭐️

Went to restaurant for dinner on my stay, I was placed at table right by the bar at the end where staff hang around and leave plates....so not great seat.....oh and the staff like to swear a lot. I ordered a 10oz sirlion steak medium, 2 bites in and was enough was so over cooked couldn't eat it, the pepper sauce was water and grease really. And when I came to pay my £42 I passed this on to staff who couldn't care less. DO NOT EAT HERE

Our 3-night stay was lovely - amazing staff who give you a personalised service, and the chef who will do his best to accommodate your request for food not on the menu. I requested for a main course with prawns, and voila, it was done. All the waiting staff are friendly and helpful. We got to know Eugene, Ms McCaan, and the manager, Michael. Michael went out of his way to furnish me with a print-out of the express bus schedule to get into Belfast, as this is my first time in Ireland. Just can't say enough of the amazing service, and fantastic food. We didn't feel that we need to dine elsewhere because we love the food, the ambience, and the service. We'll love to be back.

Lovely food, staff couldn't do enough for you to be honest, but a number of times staff with full hands asking seated customers to open doors for them I just found bizarre. Only bar is upstairs and it was packed we ordered drinks before going into the restaurant , very unusual layout for a hotel. Food was lovely and large portions , steak highly recommended!

Been twice lately as a couple , both times during midweek in the evening for dinner. We will not be back which is unfortunate as it’s within walking distance to us. Very poor and unacceptable. Used to enjoy coming here as our local but the food served midweek is borderline embarrassing. Unfortunately it’s not nice to say but true - The lasagne served to us was 100% the exact same one that a local butcher in the town sells for a quarter of the price. The presentation of the food is poor - lasagne and chicken fillet burger were served on the corner of the plate, one the other corner there was a few salad leaves which had brown tinges on them. This is the second time in a few months salad has been served to us in the Greenvale top bar and it’s going off and visibly brown. A friend of mine, his wife and parents complained about the poor quality of rare steaks served to them before Christmas 2022, the manager was very unprofessional in how he dealt with the matter. I believe the glenavon offers much better value across the road and a better experience. The Greenvale is very expensive for what it serves - the menu is typical northern Irish meals that you can purchase in any butchers or shop in the town. Will not be back as we gave it a second chance after the last time. I think it’s one of these places that has its regulars who have come for years and won’t hear a bad word about their local. Villa Vinci and other local restaurants are miles above this and cheaper.

I’m staying at the hotel and was excited to eat here as I’d heard good things from other guests. The restaurant was very busy so I had tk eat the bar (no big deal I was on my own anywhere so didn’t matter to me) I had the garlic mushrooms to start, superb starter. The mushrooms were piping hot, really tasty and the garlic dip was great. For main I had the fillet steak (cooked to perfection and really big) with chips and vegetables. I am a big eater but I couldn’t finish the meal, so much food it was unreal. I am gutted I’m not staying here another night as the meal tonight was brilliant. Staff were great, couldn’t do enough for me. Got the impression people eat here who aren’t staying at the hotel and I can see why. Highly recommend

My friend and I attended a wedding dinner and disco last week and were so impressed by the service that I'm writing my first ever trip advisor review! The venue was lovely, very modern and clean. However, the real star of the show was a gentleman who I later discovered was the owner. We were greeted by him when we entered and he took our food order. I asked if they had, what I class as a weird rule; where only the beef dish is accompanied by a Yorkshire pudding, not the turkey! He confirmed my fears so I picked beef, however he then said he would bring me Yorkshires with my turkey - excellent start to the day! At meal time I assumed he would forget as he didn't even know my table when I ordered my food - but he spotted me and rushed over not one, but TWO Yorkshires - day getting even better!My friend who was with me is a vegetarian, nothing was too much trouble for him to ensure that she had ample options to chose from! When we had the buffet in the evening he even asked the kitchen to make her a special stir fry so she wouldn't have just chips!I was surprised to learn that this guy was in fact the owner as he was so hands on and clearly genuinely cared about all the guests experience! His attention to detail was excellent. If we are ever in Ireland again we will definitely be returning for food!

The venue itself is lovely, very clean and tidy but unfortunately some of the staff's communication skills were terrible and so was the food, my partner ordered the chicken wings for starter and the Kiev for mains and as he was brought up to be greatful and to eat what is in front of you and not to waste food he tried hes best to eat most of it, the chicken was over cooked and flavourless, we didn't want to burden the nice waitress with this as its the chefs fault not hers, so we waited until reception when we paid the Bill, as the mushroom and the peas were ate and only half of the Kiev the man at reception said as most of the plate was empty that we must have been happy, applying that we are lying! He was soo rude too in how he spoke to us. When you pay for a service and for food you expect them to be good unfortunately we were let down big time here. Improvement is needed.

I am frequently passing through Cookstown and at a time when I am wanting to find somewhere to eat. I was with a group of friends so didn't want to create a scene. Two of us ordered the roast beef toasted sandwich and I couldn't believe what arrived. Two thin slices of cold toast with slices of cold roast in between them, topped off with partially cooked onions. At the very least I was expecting hot roast beef inside hot bread. There was a salad which was off-putting as the plate was heaped too full and it resembled a salad from the 1980s. I just don't know where the coleslaw came from, it was really white and most of the items on the plate had no flavour - the cheapest ingredients I suspect! Just a waste of time and money! Why can't kitchens take a bit of pride in what they send out to customers?

I recently attended the green ale for food along with a home hen party group. There was about 30 of us and we had to pre order our food, which I though was a good idea with the number of people attending. I think the set menu was £22.50 for 3 courses. And an extra charge if you wanted steak. Really good deal.

We went out to the restaurant too celebrate my birthday. The restaurant has been refurbished and looks lovely. We booked a table for 4 and decided we would just have a main course as portion sizes are always large. My son had sirloin steak which was grey in colour, tasteless and had a watery substance under it. His girlfriend ordered the greenvale burger which was basically 2 processed burgers on a bap. She was so disappointed as she thought it would be their own speciality burger. We had chips and they were tasteless in comparison to there usual homemade chips. They seemed to be chilled or frozen. We will not be in a hurry to eat here again.

Came here for a dinner engagement party and we were placed in a side room, I think because of a possible renovation. Staff came and took our orders and drinks orders which was appreciated. Food just took a little long in coming, perhaps because there were roughly 20 of us. Food was all lovely - good big Irish portions. Not cheap but not extortionately priced. Slight downside was that there was no music or any atmosphere in the room we were put in. Smoked salmon and prawn starter simply delicious.

Can't think of anything positive to say: food not good but expensive, service bad (on entering the otherwise empty restaurant we got the "oh no, customers" look from a member of the waiting staff). Lack of customers at a long established restaurant is always a bad sign: only one other pair of people ate in the restaurant while we were there at lunchtime, and we were there a long time due to the slow service. Yet there are all these positive reviews...

I have just returned from a Northern Ireland break to visit family. Lunch at the Greenvale Hotel was an absolute treat. The building itself was impressive, beautiful with flowers and grounds to match. As soon as we entered we were greeted by a friendly bar man and pointed to the direction of the restaurant. This comprises two floors and we chose the ground floor ddue to my problems with stairs...again we were immediately greeted by friendly staff and given a choice of tables. We sat fairly close to the entrance and staff said if we felt chilly, to please say and they would close the door.The tables were wonderfully set, large comfy chairs, and a small thing, but high quality serviettes adorned our table. A very relaxing ambience, very low but wonderful background music. That is something that I don't normally like but it fitted in beautifully.So now to the menu. We were immediately offered a drink and we were also provided with a kitsch bottle of water as well. The menu is extensive with a special three course for the day and caters for all tastes and appetites. Indeed there was so much choice it was difficult to choose. I have a small appetite and chose a cheese onion and tomato toastie which arrived with a portion of chips and peas. It has to be the best toastie ever.....sauteed onions, a flavourful gentle white cheese and fresh tomatoes all toasted to perfection. I suspect the chips were home made as well. My companions chose the dish of the day...breast of chicken offered on or off the bone. This was accompanied by a choice of potatoes, creamed, chipped or roasted and three vegetables, turnip, peas and carrots as well as stuffing and a boat of gravy. We all agreed how delicious everything was. Staff were attentive but not invasively so. As we were heading to family for tea, coffee and dessert, we sadly declined their offerIt was a delicious relaxing unhurried meal and I would have loved to stay for dinner and bed and breakfast! Greenvale is a gem not to be missed.

I was staying in the hotel on business, so decided to eat in the restaurant on the first night. It took 15 minutes to get served (3 tables occupied incl mine), and only after what appeared to be an off-duty member of staff eating at another table with his family prompted the staff.Ordered food and a beer. The beer turned up pretty quickly, though 20 minutes after I sat down. Food turned up about 10 mins after ordering and I ordered another beer at the same time. That turned up 15 minutes later! Shame as the food wasn't bad, and miles better than the Tullylagan down the road, but the Tripadvisor scores back that up.

I have visited this restaurant once and do not envisage returning. I went to the restaurant just before Christmas last year with my extended family. Although the food was adequate, it was nothing special. The service however was appalling. After eventually being seated late we placed our orders and were served our initial drinks. I noted that a family party seated just after us were receiving the staffs undivided attention and consequently received their orders before my family. Time continued to pass and the children within my party received their meals, a few of the adults then received theirs. I continued to wait for my meal, while the staff continued to hover around the other family's table. I noted they were receiving their desserts and I had still not received my main meal, however, the staff did inquire if we wanted more drinks. After asking staff, after. 45 minutes my sister in law inquired where my meal was, another 15 minutes later my food arrived, with a " sorry for the delay". To date this has been the worst service I have ever received in a restaurant.

This restaurant was recommended to us by friends in the area and so we decided to visit for Sunday lunch. When we phoned to book, we were told there were two sittings: 1230 or 1430. We opted for the second sitting.We arrived and approached the reception desk to be told to go on upstairs for the carvery - there was no lift for disabled or elderly. There was no one to show us to our table, but we found a clear table to sit at. The table had been set and had one slice of melba toast and butter on each side plate.We were handed menus, but these were confusing: a charge of £18.95 for lunch, but what was included?It seemed to be three courses (tea/coffee is not normally considered a course. There was a choice of only fruit juice or soup for starters, but an extra charge of £1 for a different starter, and an extra £2.95 for a prawn cocktail.Main course was a carvery with a choice of four 'meats': beef, lamb, ham, turkey.We didn't want three courses so asked if we could have just two. The reply was given that yes we could and it would cost about £14.95. This, however, was not written anywhere.While my sister and I were at the carvery, our melba toast and butter was cleared from our table! Oh my goodness! How miserly. Was there not enough toast for another table? There was no lamb on the carvery, and when we queried this we were told there was none left. So even though we arrived at the start of the second sitting, there was no lamb. Did they just not bother cooking any?The carvery area was very crowded and the queue blocked an entrance to the kitchen, with staff carrying food and crockery through the queue to and from the dining area.The desserts were variable. A mediocre apple crumble, a good crunchie cheesecake and good pavlova, but both of these last two were drizzled with a cheap red syrup which totally spoiled the cream.All considered, a few good points - the beef was tender, the cheesecake was tasty, but these were totally overshadowed by the not-so-good.The cost? £15.95 each for two courses.And would we try this restaurant again?Absolutely not.

Just got married and we had our wedding reception in the Greenvale. From the first contact we had with the hotel, to the chef coming out to speak to us when we where deciding on the menu, everyone was so helpful. The owner was always on hand and offered such a wonderful personal service, I would not hesitate on recommending this as a venue to hold any get together that you are thinking of planning

I visited the greenvale with my co workers for a meal this evening. The food was absolutely bliss, and the staff were very helpful and extremely polite. Especially a waitress called tanya who catered for all of our needs and cared for us throughout our meal. Will definately be returning soon. First class

My son had his wedding reception here. A very friendly hotel, where they catered, overnight, for the main wedding party. The MC was in full control and organised the staff well. They in turn, were efficient, courteous and each one performed their role in a well practiced fashion. The overnight accommodation was without any faults. Michael, the MC even greeted me with my name the next morning. This was the second time we had been to a function here and would highly recommend this hotel for a family occasion.

Came here on a Saturday night dinner with family, beautifully decorated, very friendly staff. We ate in the dining room it was very busy, there was a birthday party with about 40 people, another table with about 8 people at it, our party had 6, and a few double tables this left the staff pretty much rushed off their feet. Because of this service was very slow, with long waits between courses, the food however was lovely - the steaks where cooked to perfection. My review would have been a five if the dining room had been cooler, with that amount of people and a small size room it ment the room heated up very quick, it left the room feeling very uncomfortably hot!!! Air conditioning would have been a good idea.

Ein für mich guter Mix aus Restaurant an der Sport begeisterte voll auf ihre Kosten kommen.Aktuelle Fußballspiele werden in der oberen Etage gezeigt es besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit in der unteren Etage einen Tisch zu bekommen.( Ohne TV) Die Küche bietet eine große Auswahl an schmackhaften Fisch und Fleischspeisen ohne viel Schnickschnack. Die Portionen waren sehr üppig und sollten eigentlich Jeden satt machen.Absolut freundliche und zuvorkommende Bedienung.War sehr zufrieden!!!!!!

The food is top quality, excellent portion sizes, reasonable price and above all else it is tasty. However the menu has not changed in maybe 10 years or more so every time you go you end up getting the same feed. Both the top bar and bottom restaurant do excellent food (the pints are not bad either).

I called in just for lunch one Tuesday with my mum and daughter, we didn't have to wait long to be seen too and the staff are pleasant, the barman took our order and we waited and waited, after 20 mins the barman told us it wont be long that the lasagne was cooked fresh , finally the barman arrived with our food 35 minutes later .The lasagne was terrible, loads of pasta not much else I struggled to find any mince in mine or my mum's dry and tasteless the only savour was the half salad and chips to fill me up .I payed for my bill and left extremely disappointed because I had my wedding reception here and the food was lovely. I just happened to look at my receipt in the car to realise that they had charged me extra for taking half and half , so it cost me £12.00 for the lasagne ! Bit expensive for a lunch dish

I've been here countless times over the years and I'm yet to experience a "bad" meal. Standard prices for great home cooked meals. Great portion sizes and some of the starters could easily double as a main meal.I'd highly recommend the pâté!!!! It's to die for.The staff are fantastic friendly and approachable. I also love how the Owner is very hands on too so if he's about be sure that he'll ask you if everything is ok which is lovely.The seating very comfortable and plush and the parking is ample.

Anyone wishing to have a nourishing and tasty meal should, in my opinion, go to Greenvale Testaurant. The menu, whilst not Haut Quinine, is filled with very well presented and tasty dishes one of which anyone would find to enjoy. Staffed by friendly and helpfully attentive waitresses I always leave more than sated.

We booked a table this July on our wedding anniversary in the restaurant of the Greenvale Hotel where we had our wedding reception 25 Years Ago. The restaurant was nicely decorated and was cosy and warm on what was a damp evening outside. The menu offered a great variety of choice and was reasonably priced. The wine list offered something for all tastes and was very good value. The dining experience was really pleasant with very professional and attentive staff. We both chose the fillet steak as our main course and I can honestly say it was one of the best I've ever had. If you're looking to dine out in Cookstown look no further.

A group of us went to Greenvale Hotel for a meal, Arriving at the reception we were given a bunch of menus and told to make our own way into the main dining room, Not shown to our seat by a waitress or waiter as you would expect in an A la cart restaurant. While seated we noticed that several light bulbs were broken in the light shades around the room and we noticed cobwebs were on the wall lights above our table, When the meal arrived although it tasted and looked ok, We had all ordered different things but we were in agreement that it was very very bland, and was lacking that something extra, the princess sauce and the William sauce tasted the same you couldn't tell the difference between them. Some of the meals on the menu are very overpriced compared to other Hotels in the area although the portions are adequate. We were not shown or offered a wine list, we had to call a waitress over to the table to take our drinks order. All the meals were served except one, which arrived late with an apology. All in all our experience was just ok, there are other more superior restaurants in the area which are not "a la carte" but they serve much better tasting food at a more realistic price. We had not been to the Hotel in over a year but we are not in any rush to go back. A very bland experience....
