Hell Cat Maggies in Belfast

Acabo de llegar a Hell Cat Maggie's. Me senté en una mesa muy agradable con una vista de la ventana del Ayuntamiento. Pasaron 10 minutos y no apareció personal. Decidí buscar un miembro del personal. Vi a una empleada y me acerqué a ella. Esta fue la conversación: Yo... ¿Puedo pedir una copa, por favor? Niamh (personal): No, es sólo servicio de bar. Yo... Si estoy pidiendo comida, ¿puedo pedir una bebida con ella por favor? Niamh: No, no puedes pedir comida ahí arriba (apuntando hacia mi mesa) Niamh entonces procedió a marcharse sin proporcionar más información. ¿Fue este servicio al cliente aceptable? Juzguen ustedes mismos.

No es una buena experiencia. Fui a tomar una copa y decidí comer. La camarera vino y dijo que nos conseguiría algunos menús y luego no regresó. Busqué personal y los encontré a todos charlando y en sus teléfonos. Pedí de nuevo un menú. Otra mesera bastón con menú nos pidió que viniéramos a buscarla cuando estuviéramos listos. Decidimos irnos y nadie se dio cuenta de que nos fuimos.

Fuimos a un almuerzo familiar cuando en un día fuera, la comida era muy agradable y todos disfrutamos mucho. Pocas cosas que mencionar, era difícil leer el menú dado lo oscuro que estaba dentro, la gente tenía que usar teléfonos para leer menú. También £ 7. 50 para una salchicha infantil y pocas patatas fritas es un poco mucho, al menos echa un zumo diluido y una cucharada de helado. Aparte de lo negativo la calidad de la comida era muy buena.

Just ok. I'm 36 and found it dark and loud at 4 pm on a Friday. The food was also just ok the location and service were good.

Stopped in for a bite and a drink after riding all the way around o. The city sightseeing bus, before going back to a few places we wanted to visit. Also this is a good location to start that trip if you are looking to do a bus. The bar has great food, awesome serive and lots of cold beers

Recently changed the draught selection and it’s far worse.

Food is really nice Service is fast

Good centre of town bar to meet friends. Nice friendly atmosphere and the staff are pretty good. Well situated just at the side of the City Hall.

Visited here before heading to the Opera House for a show. Ordered drinks and food which took a long time to arrive. Once food arrived no one came near us again. We were going to have dessert and another drink but ended up having to ask for the bill and leave as we were running out of time. I ordered a Strawberry Daquiri which wasn't great. Burger was nice but chips were awful, cold and hard, and others thought the same. Atmosphere was nice with live music, and the staff member who took our orders was lovely, but seemed very busy.

Food and cocktail I got were great, and high quality. Servers were friendly, but service was a bit slow. I think they may have been short staffed, as was a busy lunchtime and only seemed to be 2 or 3 people serving. Wouldn't stop me going again.

We’ve went here for years and always had a great time with great service and vibes. There is always a lovely atmosphere and usually there’s a brilliant live musician on. There are lovely views of city hall, toilets aren’t a hike away and the smoking area is always civilised with a good amount of seating. However a large group of us went out on Saturday night (21/9/24) and experienced the most vile customer service by one particular bar man, longish gingery hair. We hadn’t even realised we all felt the same until one person had brought it up and we all realised that he had been horribly rude to each of us. I have never been spoken to so rudely by a member of staff here ever and was actually quite taken aback, I felt really uncomfortable and avoided the bar the rest of the night, sending my partner or friends up instead. What a shame:( We will definitely be back but just steering clear of this bar tender and I suggest whoever reads this to do the same

One of the most traditional pubs in Belfast, a must-see!

Preciosa comida de última hora para 6 casi causó un revuelo, pero el equipo se las arregló para encajar en nosotros. Una vez instalado en el servicio y las comidas eran brillantes El sabor era genial y no había quejas de nadie y porciones muy generosas. Recomendaría encarecidamente este lugar de nuevo.

Very dark inside, slow service and lack of customer awareness

Good atmosphere, with live music, and friendly staff. Very clean as well

Brilliant for a date night with views of city hall

Comida brillante! Personal amable y encantador con música en vivo de McVeigh. Yo recomendaría. Muy buen ambiente feliz.

Really nice restaurant with great food. Originally came here thinking it was owned by the same person as the one in NYC so I knew the food was good, asked the guy and he said it wasn’t owned by the same people but the food was totally amazing and the atmosphere is great, live music playing whilst you eat. Staff were friendly and bouncers were helpful. Definitely recommend checking this restaurant out!

Brilliant bar . Lovely pint of Guinness. Friendly staff and good service . Football on , gets busy . Loved it

Fab spot 😁 Had some food and a few drinks here and it was lovely, food was amazing, the cauliflower wings were superb as was the monterary chicken! Cocktails were nice would recommend the apple spritzer 😍 Staff were very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was nice and chilled there was a bit of live music on which was nice. All in all a great wee place for a chilled lunch/dinner. Will def be back 🤩

Just nipped in for food before a gig and the food was stunning! Service was perfect and very reasonable priced would highly recommend

Ottimo locale in pieno centro,con musica dal vivo,tipica di Belfast, cibo squisito.lo consiglio vivamente. Da provare

The food was good. The service was very good. 'No worries', we're the servers favorite and go to line.

Cocktails are very nice and worth the price

Great wee find. Staff friendly, funny and helpful. Civilised smoking area. Good range of food on menu and reasonably priced drink. Will definitely be back.

Lovely little food place stop off for food and drink

Love the place & always will dine when I'm in belfast, but for my son who's 18 with autism, to loud, to hot and I did ask if I could move to a quieter place, was told no, I did point out free tables, again was told no as they were for drinks only

Excellent tasty meal of Cajun Salmon and lemon meringue pie , with drinks reasonably priced ! There was a good ambiance so an enjoyable experience .

We had a really yummy lunch here, the food was super fresh and the service was lovely!!

I got the Nashville chicken sandwich I’m pretty sure and hollyyy molllyyyyy it was amazing the chicken legit melted in my mouth ! Thought it was abit pricy at the start but you pay for what you get they say 😍😍 highly recommend !!

excellent atmosphere and a very relaxed evening, would 100% go back again.

Brought our group here and everyone left happy. Staff were friendly and polite. Food was really good. The location couldn't be better. E&E Expeditions will be back again, thank you.

Thought we would try this for my partners birthday. Asked for a table by window and even tho there were 3 empty were told we couldnt have one. Ordered our meals, waited, and waited, and after nearly 45 mins with other people all getting theirs, another waiter came and asked if we had ordered!!! He said the other waiter had gone on his break and there was no order!! Finally got it, was OK but not brilliant. Then came coffee. Waiter slopped half of it over the table. Instead of apologising he ran off and brought loads of kitchen roll. Never brought a new coffee!! I had asked for mine with milk, when that arrived, guess what no milk and was asked if I wanted milk. A plastic carton of milk was produced and I had to put in the milk myself. Never again!

Todo excelente. Comida rica. Buena atención y precio razonable. Chiken and Waffles, irish stew and cheese garlic bread for two people. 51 pounds.

Nice welcoming place, friendly staff, food was fantastic, atmosphere was great.

Had lunch during a bus tour stopover. Had a couple of pints and enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

We tried to get food there two days in a row. The first day they had stopped serving food already. They told us they stopped serving at 20:30. We went back the next day at 19:00, and they'd already stopped serving food. I'm confused. And I don't understand why they stopped serving food while the sun was still up!

Quick service, great setting and good music. Food wise it was fairly bland.

Great service! Great staff! Lovely food! Will be back! X

We popped in here after a delayed flight into Belfast , absolutely starving. We were quickly shown to a table by a friendly waitress. We ordered drinks and mains and we weren't disappointed. The portions were ample and tasted amazing . In fact we were so impressed we came back the following evening for another meal . On the evening visit Maggie's had a live singer that added a lovely chilled atmosphere, however we were glad of not being seated close to the singer as I think these tables were struggling to hear each other. Another good meal served by friendly waitresses. Would definitely recommend.

Sadly disappointed, we are from NY area, and nowhere is there food like this. Slow service and poor service, and hair in mine as well as my daughter’s food. Sad we wasted the time at this place.

Great food, served quickly and not a bad price.friendly staff and enjoyed live music from a singer/guitarist while we ate.would recommended

Lovely food helpful staff and a lovely place with a great view if you get a window table

Best bar to start a night out and meet up with your muckers !

Can't give any stars for the food as none of us ordered any food on this occasion. However I can confirm that the staff are very friendly and professional, all is in order and also that the facilities are well maintained.

Great location opposite city Hall food 10/10 desert to die for sticky toffee pudding 🍮 the best, try out the gammon it was beautiful, loved the staff super friendly .went twice on our visit, guiness good to, did very nice cocktails.

Knowledgeable staff good cocktails and a nice atmosphere 👌

We came for a family lunch/early dinner before a show in the opera house , I have never had a bad word to say about this place and always enjoyed my experience here however this time I was sadly disappointed … we booked 2weeks in advance and requested a window seat to be told that wasn’t possible now iv worked in the hospitality industry for 15years and if you book 2 weeks in advance it’s not hard to put a note beside the booking to say window seat ! When we arrived we were given menus that were sticky and clearly uncleaned , we then looked through what we thought was an extensive menu with a page offering one course with 2 cocktails for £25pp now you would imagine if this was a pre paid menu that it wouldn’t be in the main menu offered to other customers ? Apparently that whilst this menu is given to you your not allowed to order off it unless you pre book this menu because they need to pre make your order if you order off this yet it’s literally a smaller version of the mains offered on the main menu ? Now I’m not blaming the poor waiter that had to try and explain this ridiculous excuse as it’s clearly not his fault however I would advise you seperate these menus as it makes no sense to give people a menu they can’t avail of! On a more positive note our main courses were lovely however the dessert was dry and the toffee on the sticky toffee was like a bar of rock from Barrie’s in port rush.. all in all we were very disappointed which is sad to say as like I said I have never had a bad experience till now

My friend and I both ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwhich. Our food arrived and I noticed what was 2 tiny thin chicken strips in a large ciabatta. This was filled with what seemed like half a tub of coleslaw and a lot of salad which led to it being very soggy. Basically had a coleslaw and salad sandwich. Had we have been checked on during our meal I would have brought this up but not once was I asked if my meal was ok or offered another drink. £16 for 2 chicken strips, a large ciabatta and coleslaw is a joke if you ask me. To be fair the Pinot Grigio was unreal and the chips dead on. The girl that took our order was really nice and polite. It was quite difficult to get anyones attention to get the bill. Working in hospitality myself I understand that staff may be under pressure and need help but seemed to be no manager or supervisor present! Very disappointed.

Best meal I have eaten ever! Awesome setting and atmosphere

Apparently, fully booked up??? Got turned away.

First visit while in Belfast . Lovely food, nice place and had a guy with a guitar singing which was really good also . Great customer service

Great spot ! We found it busy in the evenings but managed to get a table one day. Service was great, servers were friendly. I had the hot chicken sandwich, my buddy had the chicken and waffles (reccomend) Will be back again for sure provided I can get in !

Was here last night. We got a window table overlooking the City Hall which was very pleasant. The atmosphere was great and staff serving were great. Food service was very slow but it was outstanding when we got it and really well worth the wait. I recommend and would def go back.

Great food, decent value and friendly staff. Louisiana chicken sandwich was very tasty and the salt and chilli chicken made a lot of people jealous. Curry is green though, not orange!!

I went for the sirloin steak meal offer. Very pleased, good medium steak with gravy, chips, a couple of battered onion rings and another side, possibly shreded onion or shreded parsnip. ??

Went to Belfast to watch Roy Chubby Brown. Booked a dinner at HellCat Maggies, a wonderful choice. Food, service excellent and a shout out to our servers, great service. Will be back Sasha and Will

Great venue for music, reasonably priced drinks and good food. Here for a long weekend, stumbled on this place for a couple of drinks decided to eat as really good vibe and music. Ordered a selection of starters to share. Well presented food and really tasty. Just had an issue with one dish but our lovely waitress Daisy resolved this with no drama. All the staff very friendly and chatty. Highly recommend and will definitely visit again

very cozy and live music. overall great place for an evening date

Fantastic bar / restaurant. The drinks & food are good value. Plenty of selection of drinks and good variety of food. The food was absolutely delicious. Live music on some days. Live sport on the multiple screens.

Great place to eat and have a drink

Excellent food and service at a reasonable price.

Food first class first time there def go back

Great pub. Food delicious, pints too.

Lovely place with excellent food and live music which was spot on. Service was efficient with genuinely helpful and cheerful staff. Thank you.

Food and drink excellent Cocktails are gorgeous Good atmosphere Staff very friendly Highly recommended a visit Plenty of live music over the weekend

Friday 09/02/24 phoned to reserve a table for dinner for 2 people. Staff member who answered phone told me I did not need to book just walk in. I also emailed to book a table but received no reply. Went in on Saturday for table was told no tables as you need to book. Explained what occurred on Friday. Asked to speak to manager. Young girl with couldn’t give a toss attitude. Explained everything. She said staff member should not have told me I didn’t need to book. I showed her the email I sent requesting to book table. I said I got no reply. When I told her I would be putting this on social media she replied do what you want. I then received email 3O mins later later saying sorry. It if you want to book again fone or email in advance. Real shambles. Pity as it’s a nice bar and atmosphere but the manager and lack of knowledge from some members of staff severely let it down 😡

Hellcat Maggies has an interesting back story & cool Irish American menu. We'd been turned away the previous evening as they were full. The evening atmosphere was wonderful, and live music fantastic. There didn't seem to be a booking system, or any chance of getting a table later in the evening, so we opted to return for lunch the following day. Unfortunately the atmosphere was slightly dead during the day - the music sombre, staff were distracted, cleaning (despite having been open several hours) and seemed exhausted - I felt sorry for them & hope management are able to review rotas/ staffing levels! It put a slight dampener on the experience but we were impressed by the food, drinks & views. We had Guinness, Steak, and chicken & waffles. The steak was extremely good. Perfectly cooked, great sauce & chips. The chicken & waffles had far too much BBQ sauce on, which overpowered the dish. However, where not 'oversauced' the chicken was very tasty, well cooked and worked well with the chilli, waffles & bacon. I'd like to return in an evening, to try some other items on the menu and enjoy the great view again. Overall, a 3.5-4 star experience, with potential.

A waitress came to our table, suggested that we give back the salt shaker whilst we were enjoying tequila. When we didn’t let go of it she became, what seemed, visibly aggressively and said “just leave it” whilst gripping it. The same waitress also suggested we were dirtying the cutlery that was on the table before we had arrived. She then collected it and then implied that we were making more work for as it seemed she would have to rewash it.

Popped in for lunch on a cold, rainy December day. Ordered the stew looking for something hearty to warm us up. Stew came out luke warm, we asked for it to be reheated and it came back out to us without an apology or even to check if it was now to our liking. It was barely hotter at all. Barely steam coming off it. I expect better when paying £16 for a plate of stew.

Food amazing so far. Here for a Christmas party and venue is lively and a good atmosphere all round. A lot of people here but service could be a little quicker although I understand its Christmas time.

Attended here for Christmas Dinner which was 35 for 3 courses. The food was good, a little over seasoned on the vegetables, and small portions but presentation was good and service was great! The music was a little too loud, we had a playlist blasting and live music between breaks made it really hard to enjoy dinner.

Had lunch today, great service,staff very friendly and efficient. Huge portions of food (one portion would have fed two people 😁) well cooked and very tasty and decent price. Possibly might need some small lights over tables as quite dark interior and several people were using light on phone to read the menu including us. Also possibly better signage for toilets as every person had to be directed or took wrong turn. Apart from this it was a very enjoyable visit and hopefully will call in again.

Took ages for our food to arrive. They were busy and short staffed. Decor very dark. The childrens chicken gougons arrived and looked like chicken fillets. The kids wouldn't eat them . The waiter said we had to pay for them anyway and was extremely rude. The manager was lovely and sorted out the problem. Wouldn't visit again or recommend. We had potatoes skins and they were edible just about.

Great place to go food great, music good yeah good night

Had a great night, food was good and service great 👍

Used to love it in here. But boncer lady a few months back refused to let me in even with my I.D - because I'm 20 years old. And told me I had to be 21 to enter. Eventhough I had been going here for Xmas nights out for the past 2 YEARS. (Since I was 18)... anyways I spent like 100 quid in food and drinks elsewhere that night 😊

Staff was the friendliest you would ever hope to encounter, food and atmosphere was lovely as well. The fish and chips were perfectly cooked and tadted excellent. Only fault would be there bot being enough tartar sauce to the side. All in all a wonderful experience.

Posto molto bello e caratteristico, cibo abbondante e veramente buono, servizio ottimo molto simpatici, cordiali e disponibili

Little bit of advice for the young lady serving at the bar. If a customer tells you that his soft drink is flat, don’t dip a straw in it and say “it tastes fine to me” instead, just do your job and replace it. Like anyone would be dishonest about a drink being flat, when there was literally one sip out of it. Mind boggling.

Looking for somewhere to eat & came across this restaurant. The food was delicious, staff very friendly, would definitely visit again if we come back to Belfast.

First visit to Maggie’s and not disappointed. Three of us for dinner just walking in off the street. Service was excellent staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. My family had stacked chicken and the salt & chilie chicken which was excellent. Mine, Steak & Guinness pie was superb. A rich full of flavor gravy with well cooked steak topped with very good pastry. Well worth the visit. I only wish the pie was bigger because it was that good.

Lovely meal! 4 pies and pints of Guinness and was delicious!! Lovely staff and good prices. Great central position and lovely views over the city hall.

Sfeervol restaurant pal naast het stadhuis van Belfast. Heerlijke en betaalbare gerechten, mooie kaart. Aanrader!

Nice local pub that serves food, beers, and mixed drinks. The food is tasty with a good selection of dishes.

On a visit to Belfast went and had food, absolutely delicious and service fantastic Would recommend

Food was great but the waiter forgot our order and when they finally realised it, took 20 min still to get the food. In total waited 50 min and not anywhere near busy place. Too bad as the food was pretty good and would have loved to enjoy it but had to run as were already too late.

It’s not a bad venue. We came about mid afternoon. It was lively but I imagine it picks up later into the night. I can’t speak for the food as we only had drinks. The cocktails were reasonably priced but considering it weren’t that busy we had to wait a while for them. I’d say they were only average in terms of taste but the presentation was good.

The worst restaurant ever! Never again!🤬

Poor beer choices in my opinion. Good food. Good location.

Great food , great service , great live music 🎶🎶🎶 oh and great Guinness

Didn't have food just drinks all good great location

We visited for lunch and had a good table at the window. Had to clean the seat first as it was covered in remnants of someone else’s food even though our table was reserved. 3 out of 4 of us felt unwell after the food. Pasta sauce was like water and bland. Burger dripping in sauce. Like the other reviews don’t waste your time or money and go elsewhere. Staff were pleasant though.

Buddy got slipped some roofies here, woke up behind a dumpster wee hours later. 5/5

Went here while staying in Belfast for a short break. We had popped in a few days before for a drink and like the place, so booked to go back for a meal. The menu was varied and plenty of choice, typical pub food, but was nicely presented and tasty. Service was very good and all staff were friendly. The beer selection was limited, unless you like lager, but as a beer drinker there was little choice. The Guinness was good though!, Good atmosphere and the music was also good. In a central location and worth a visit if you are in Belfast.

Delicious food. Very attentive staff. Good music and nice atmosphere. Was sat at the window so had lovely view of Belfast. Would definitely recommend if in Belfast!

Stopped in for a few drinks during a work night out , staff very good and brilliant service

Food was mediocre, good service but £5.40 for a pint of soda and lime is a complete and utter joke. Will not be back.

Really expensive for very mediocre food. Vegan cauliflower wings and onion rings were soggy.

Great food big portions and friendly staff, thank you all.
