Por lo general, la comida es encantadora. AUNQUE, el ajo mayo? ¿Qué has hecho? Solía ser perfecto. Ahora, es una olla de mocos de goma de xantano. Asqueroso. Trae el viejo ajo mayo.

Sinceramente, uno de los peores chipspys que he tenido. Pedí patatas fritas con guisantes y fue asqueroso. Las patatas estaban empapadas y frías, los guisantes estaban podridos y no había sabor en absoluto en las patatas. Pedí sal y pollo con guindilla y también fue asqueroso. Nunca te quejes de algún lugar a menos que fuera horrible, pero esto merecía una queja. El peor chippy de la historia

Compramos un súper pescado esta noche y cuando llegamos a casa es muy decepcionante. El pescado ciertamente no era bacalao y masa muy grasosa. El pescado estaba seco y masticable ya que había estado sentado durante mucho tiempo o había sido cocinado de nuevo. Comida decepcionante.

Went with grandchildren to pick up food for treat dinner. Staff are lovely and when we wanted fish we could always depend on good quality fish at John Dory's Castlereagh. However, the fish we got yesterday was appalling. My grandson and I got two small pieces of the thinness pieces of fish and there was more batter than fish which was not up to usual standard. Even our dog who loves a piece of fish wouldn't eat it. Very disappointing. Will not be buying there again. Definitely a waste of money.

Ordered via just eat from ballyhackamore branch, horrendous wait for delivery and the part of it wasn't delivered. Rang the number, after 20 minutes (!!) was told we could call round and get refund for missing part of order. Went round (2 mile drive) to be told it wasn't their responsibility and we would have to claim via Just Eat. Appalling customer service. And to top it all, the onion rings were like bulletproof doughnuts. Never again

Only giving 5 lstars because there was nothing wrong with my partners order on both occasions but once again I ordered the chicken kebab loaded fries that says it’s supposed to come with HOUSE sauce. Last time I ordered this it came smothered in gravy with no kebab sauce in sight. Then yesterday it came smothered in Garlic sauce with once again no kebab sauce in sight?? I don’t know where they’re getting these random sauces from when it literally says “with house sauce” on with that order. Both times I couldn’t eat it because I hate gravy chips and Garlic sauce absolutely turns me. Partner loved his fish though. And collection time was pretty good.

Pleasantly surprised on a busy Friday evening to have my food delivered within 45 minutes rather than the hour and a half estimated. Fish was perfect, chips were great and filling. If I had one constructive criticism it would be to wonder why after all these years there still isn't a option to add Salt & Vinegar when ordering. On another note, with all the Scots over here, Dory's could make a killin if they served a battered haggis.

Not happy at all. I went on to the app at 5-40 to see how long it would be for delivery, it said 35 to 45 minutes which seemed ok,so I placed my order.When it went through it said delivery due between 6.45 snd 7.05 which was an extra 55 minutes longer than the app originally said.I rang the shop and they said they couldn’t track my order, so I went into my app again and it said it had been delivered which it hadn’t and it was now 7.20 which was 15 minutes late, absolutely terrible service. We eventually got our delivery at 7-30.So over all, it took nearly 2 hours to get 3 chips.(Which we’re stone cold because of the length of time it took to get to us. I am a very dissatisfied customer. £4-25 for a 2 hour cold delivery is not acceptable when we are literally a mile from the shop. Linda White.

Sitting waiting on collecting food in John Dory Ballyhackamore and feeling very uneasy about the lack of hygiene…only one member of staff wearing a mask (below his nose); another walking round with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth in clear view of customers; and most concerning a member of staff rubbing his runny nose with his bare hand and immediately handling equipment and food containers. Shocked by the lack of adherence to health and safety procedures in the midst of a pandemic. Have collected my food, but it will be difficult to enjoy. Will think twice about ordering from here for the foreseeable.

Extremely disappointing! Apart from the wait for about 20 min after the order was placed. Having stood for that time watching the staff, I was shocked to see the guy who was at the till handling cash… proceeding to lift fresh fish in his ungloved hand dipping it into batter from there to the fryer! I appreciate it was going into hot fat but non the less disturbing to see him do it bare handed and without Washing his hands! . At least the young chap who was emptying the bin washed his before proceeding to finish frying his burgers! Doubt if I’ll be ordering there again The food itself was most disappointing… the chips were stodgy soft and oily… not crisp. The fish over cooked. Not trimmed the ‘thinner ends’ more or less dissolved in the cooking.

Was obvious tonight Halloween night with so many people trying to get in who pre bought tickets still in Q or being turned away without reason at 12 midnight is actually a scam! Selling more tickets than club can hold and still making ticket money from all those they don't or can't let in??? Disgusting!! Please avoid this scam and avoid wasting time and money nightclub should refund all tickets that didn't gain entry!
