Josh Macs in Carrickfergus

Great staff prices as expected and food was great.

Excellent service Staff friendly and polite Food was amazing and generous portion sizes. Not overly priced

Fantastic service, delicious food 😋 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

young man that served us last night was excellent !

It was my first time at Josh Macs, and the food was great. We had the Chicken Stack and the Old Mac sizzler. Good service was excellent, and the place had a nice atmosphere!

Had pizza after going cinema. Best pizza I have ever had, perfect and so were the fries. Staff lovely and very clean.

Clean and tidy, decent menu and quick service. The food was good and reasonably priced.

amazing!!! will defo be back :)

Superb. We turned up without a booking and got straight in, Food all looked good on the menu so took some time for the four of us to decide, when we ordered the food arrived quickly and the portions were massive! Staff really helpful and attentive at all times. If you like American-style food this place is an absolute must.

My first time at this restaurant on Sunday was amazing. Staff were on the ball, helpful and friendly. Even the ones who weren’t serving our table, managers and servers alike stood out, showing a great attitude toward their work and customers during a very busy evening. The food was delicious. The Louisiana prawns were my favourite and I will be back again for them!

Absolutely love this place, food is always outstanding. However, I have one criticism, the new sunday roasts are lovely, with fresh veg but don't ruin it by using frozen roast potatoes. Fresh will always be a winner

Good food. Decent service. Decent price.

The food and staff where friendly. However when I order a burger and chips I think I got a kids meal. Nice otherwise.

We booked a table for 5 adults to celebrate a 60th birthday. The staff went above and beyond. We honestly had the best night. Food and company where great, but the staff made it even better.

Great place, great food, great service, never had a bad meal, never disappoints 👍 only gets better each visit, friendly staff, couldn't fault it, grand kids love it!

Great service & great food, will definitely b back.

Had a meal here with my husband, food very good and a large portion. Very friendly service.

Love this place. Best variety on Menu and prices are reasonable. Can't wait to go back.

I have been going to Josh Macs for the last 7 or 8 years - it is a firm favourite between myself and friends/family. Staff are always lovely and we have never had a bad meal!

Tear and share garlic starter just tasted like dough and my mid rare steak was extremely over done lol steak knife wouldn't cut it, service and atmosphere were great tho. Probably could have complained and got it changed but it was a Friday after work and tbh I shouldn't have to.

Absolutely fantastic food, service, and cosy atmosphere. Will definitely return 🥰

The food was good and the staff are friendly.

Visited on a Bank Holiday. Got there before 1230 and wasn't too busy. By 1. 00 patrons were being g advisedof 10 minutes wait, which is fair enough for walk ins. As always service is fast and efficient, waiting staff polite, Friendly and always have a smile. The food is excellent, piping hot and good portions. So much so there was no room for dessert today. Consistently good food. Highly recommended.

Only complaint, loud 'background' music. Turned down on request. So we were able to enjoy conversation.

Good food at reasonable prices. Friendly and attentive staff.

First class. Try it. Youll love it. Better than ever.

food was absolutely fantastic servers were so friendly and helpful

Sister restaurant to springsteens. Amazing food, great portions (we took a doggy box home) prices are reflective of eating out in a semi fancy restaurant. Definitely would recommend for couples and families (we took our kids, kids portions are unreal)

We took are grankids the staff were great with the kids food was really good and was good value

Popped in for coffee and dessert. Nice and clean and very friendly. Had the spiced apple pie with ice cream which was bloody lovely

1st I had a large fry the bacon was over cooked and the mushrooms seemed to have a lot of water coming from them , 2nd the service was awful sat for close to 1 hr frm ordering to receiving food wouldn’t rush back

Brilliant restaurant. Food great, plenty of gluten free choices. Also open to trying something new. Staff freindly and efficient. Dean and Sarah really make the place. If you go regularly they generally remember you. Also Dean gives a great hug.

Food was amazing and staff are lovely. Prices are good too. Would highly recommend.

Great food and great service...updated menu and nice atmosphere for a meal after a long day at work

Was there today with my friend and i have to say, the service was very good. The waiter Dean was very attentive. Very pleasant and an asset to his employer. Couldn't do enough for us. Look forward seeing him again.

Another good visit to Josh Macs. A Monday In November so not too busy. Service was very quick with 3 menus to choose from...lunch, all day and Christmas. Food was piping hot. Burgers and sides not greasy. Staff were absolutely lively and made you feel like it generally was a pleasure to have your company. Well Josh Macs, keep it up.

Whenever I come to work in Ireland, I always make sure to stop at Josh Macs for food. Very good food at very good prices. Excellent!

Food was good, there were four of us I tried a different dish, should have kept to usual. Thought it was expensive this time tink I'll leave it for a while.

Have been here 3 times & each time just as good as before Great staff - great food - perfect

FINALLY !!! Somewhere decent in carrickfergus. Popped in on a cold day for a bite of lunch. It wasn't busy at all with only a few tables in use. There is an all day nenu, but unlike most places thay actually do a LUNCH menu. My pet hate us all day menus. I certainly don't want a DINNER meal for lunch. We did have to ask for it on this occasion. Chicken stack got thumbs up, crisp, light batter, no grease and nice bbq sauce. Panini waa nice, not hard or overdobe. You get choice of 3 fillings, although I felt personally could have been filled a bit more. The Chunky chips are the best in the town, crispy outside, fluffy inside and piping hot. Service was very quick, about 10 minutes from ordering. The only thing j found was I was very thirsty the rest of the day yet hadn't added any salt. Haven't been since precovid as the others in the group are fussy, but menu has changed and food is good, so will definitely be back, with or without them.

Went for a Sunday lunch today. I had the turkey and ham and my husband had the beef brisket. Absolutely lovely! Staff were lovely and the service was great. Will certainly be back

Service was great, everyone was friendly. The burgers weren't very nice.

3.5 reasonably good food to decent standard, portions above average size, friendly and helpful staff. My family arrived early celebrating some welcome good news to find the restaurant empty tonight but it began to fill up as we were leaving. Meal prices are a little pricey, but the portions were good. A few years back before they raised prices we could see the portions decrease but all in all, everyone was happy with the food they got. Will return but likely for special occasions

Decent food, reasonable prices, and very friendly and kind staff. Much-appreciated WiFi also. Thanks, Josh Macs team!

Love this place great food excellant service

Went for lunch over weekend and I am glad we chose this place. Very clean and well maintained. Very well groomed, very courteous, and smiling staff. Food was also very good - we enjoyed our entire experience at Josh Macs. Highly recommended.

This is a great local restaurant in Carrickfergus. We were unsure where to eat while staying in the area and decided to give them a try. We liked it so much we went back the night after with family. It gave me the impression of an American Dinner style place. There was a good range of food and drinks. The starters and the mains were the highlight, but the deserts were also good. The staff were friendly and service was efficient. We would go back again if we were in the area again.

Lovely food, nice drive out of Belfast on the coast road

Lovely staff and not so great selection of food.

Great food. American dinar style.

Great experience at lunch today with my wife. Staff were attentive and good craic, very friendly and helpful. I went with their recommendation for lunch - great choice!

Nice and clean food was great and price reasonably

Food was great as always, never had a bad meal

Called in for a deluxe hot chocolate. Had the same thing last year and it was just as good. Three mini flakes, a biscoff biscuit, extra marshmallows, a side of cream and a massive cup of hot chocolate. It was amazing and great value. Definitely the best one in the country. Loads of parking available and walking distance from the castle for any tourists. Thanks

I went here today for the second time. The food was delicious, we all enjoyed our food but unfortunately the food was let down by the service. The staff are friendly and pleasant but we waited for 20 minutes for someone to come and clear our table after our meal, no one came. There were several waiting staff walking around and could clearly see we had finished eating, so we decided to go elsewhere for dessert. Very disappointing.

I was in with my wife kids and father on sat the 10th of June and had one of the worst meals I have ever had in josh macks. After waiting for 20/25 mins for our food. My wife and father's chips were cold and then forgot my sons chips!! And had to ask for cutlery! And I ordered a chicken burger that was Over cooked and parts of it was uneatable!!! Definitely will not be back in a hurry!!!??

Great good at a very decent price. The waitress (Jess) was very friendly even though we'd been pestering her all evening. Will definitely be back again soon

We've been to Josh Macs so many times and it is always fantastic, both food and service wise. We went this evening and although the food was great as usual, we would have loved to order dessert however no one came near the table after our main course arrived. Our table wasn't cleared when we finished and after waiting 20 minutes we decided to go elsewhere for dessert. I will return as the food is always great but I was a bit frustrated that staff seemed to be more concerned with cleaning empty tables than actually dealing with guests.

Really good food, reasonably priced

The girl who served us was always smiling

Staff so friendly. food was beautiful also portions were large def value for money. Will def be back

We had a lovely dinner at Josh Macs recently, and couldn't fault it! The service was fantastic from Dean, who was so attentive, helpful and knowledgeable about his role. The food was delicious and the portions were more than we could manage - but we were sent home with the leftovers in a box, which was a lovely touch.

Had lunch here 11/04/23, first time visit. Bright and welcoming, great lunch menu with a bigger main menu if desired. Food was great and plenty of it! Service was efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely food, and fabulous gluten free menu. Daughter is ceoliac and very sensitive and meal was beautiful 😍

We were served by dean and his customer service was amazing! The food was absolutely beautiful! Will definitely be back!

Went here and the service couls habe been better waiting a long time for service, when the food turned up i had one of the burgers and im afraid it was one of the driest burgers ive ever had, ans for the price id have hoped for mu h better

Good service. Good food at reasonable prices. Great for families.

Sliders were amazing, chicken amazing, Louisiana Prawns starter amazing as always. We had the starter with a side as a meal, it's definitely worth going for that sauce alone

Nice friendly service and a good plate of food Had to take some home. Well filled.

Food was good and staff where amazing

Will be back, throughly enjoyed the peppercorn chicken, champ was best I've tasted in a long time and off course dessert 👌

I have dined here a few times with the family and I have to say the food is great and the Staff are the nicest I have encountered in quite a few years. Nothing is too much trouble and they seem to be happy and want to be there. I would recommend. Price is good too.

Plenty on your plate, I would struggle with a starter or a sweet. Check out their chicken burgers 😘

Wonderful restaurant! Food was amazing, will definitely be back.

Friendly staff, quick food! Cheap prices. Food is also top tier

Great place to eat, good selection and fairly priced.

Nice place and great service. Very little on the menu for vegetarians.

The food was well cooked but there was too much going on which meant the food didn't complement each other. The staff were friendly but didn't come near us except to take our order and serve the food which took about half an hour so i couldn't get a drink until the food was served.

First time back in josh Mac’s and new menu looks great. Food was lovely

Lovely dinner, chicken on a bed of mash with peppercorn sauce was beautiful, then had apple crumble, was nice but bit much cinnamon in it fior my liking and not enough crumble. Would definitely go back though

First time at Josh Macs and I will be back. Food was lovely and staff were sound. Buttermilk chicken was A1 .

Had a family lunch here it was beautiful and lots of it. Very friendly and helpful server so thank you Sarah. Also,thanks for bringing my car keys out to me,I'd unknowingly dropped them. Would definitely recommend a visit.

They have Changed their menu unfortunately, I preferred the choice of healthier sides and chicken breasts, its a bit more rich.

Went for birthday lunch. Service v.good food was tasty would recommend this place

I was in last night, had a great meal, service was great really friendly helpful staff & the skittle cocktail was amazing, really recommend trying it.

First time at Josh Macs. My steak was over cooked but that was a minor thing as the food all three of us had was exquisite

Staff very helpful and know their menu

Had another lovely meal again as always brilliant service and great food love it x

I can't fault Josh Macs at all. The food is always delicious, great portions, piping hot and the meals all served together. The staff are so friendly, really helpful and approachable, they seem. To genuinely care about guests enjoying their visit. And very fairly priced, too. It's a family favourite and I'll always recommend them to anyone.

Great restaurant, with nice service and varied menu

A warm welcome and friendly service. The restaurant is bright and airy with a comprehensive menu. The food is freshly prepared and of good quality. Prices are reasonable and the premises clean and well presented. Good place for Sunday brunch. GM

Always reliable. Always clean. Always variety. Always fiscally reasonable. Always satisfying.

Had a great time on my visit to Josh Macs.I made a very later reservation for a large group and they were very accommodating which I didn't expect. On my arrival I was greeted with a very warm welcome and I didn't even hv to wait 1 min...we were ushered to our table which had been set aside which was very good and the staff were excellent in our service... The food was plentiful and the portions were more than enough. The food also tasted great which in itself made for a much better experience. I would def recommend a visit here while you are in town. George.

Love the food and the friendly staff

Fantastic place to eat where 2 angels will serve you fast and with their nice smiles.

Great! Came here with the family for the first time to try it and we loved the food. Very fresh, good portions and decent prices. Only disappointment is it wasn't really spicy and I got the XX hot but I will be back again.

Cozy and warm space. We were overwhelmed by amount of dishes we wanted to try! Food was delicious and we found the price very fair! We are for sure coming back.

Can't fault this place. Great food great service. Best option for a good family meal in the area

Good menu choice & very reasonably priced. Staff very attentive & efficient.

Lots of freshly cooked food at reasonable price
