Joxer Holywood in North Down

I had heard Joxer mentioned as the place to go for quite some time and found myself in Holywood on a Saturday morning. I got the Turkish eggs which were perfectly cooked and delicious, my sister got a smoothie bowl. Everything was perfect and the staff couldn’t have done enough for us.

First time having brunch here & won’t be back. Pretentious menu & inflated prices. I had Turkish Eggs & the garlic was way overpowering & the eggs were rock hard. Once slice of sourdough bread which wasn’t enough. Other brunch options were expensive & more in line with evening meal prices. Soft drinks are tiny bottles & overpriced. This place is very dog friendly & had I known this I would not have visited. Dogs yapping every five minutes completely ruined our meal. Service was good & the decor is nice but that’s about all it has going for it.

Going on a Friday evening we were tempted to go for the Steak offer…. But after seeing the burgers coming out of the kitchen we decided to go for them instead. Didn’t disappoint. Opting for the set menu. Starters were good, croquettes and wings, but star of the show were the double smash burgers

Stopped at Joxer for late lunch on Saturday. Nice welcome from friendly staff. Short menu but had a wide enough range to choose from. We went for the quinoa salad and breakfast bap. Both delicious and reasonably priced. We recommend here.

Our meal was very disappointing. The menu looked promising and the food was well presented. It was however very bland, every small dish we ordered was tasteless. Also wet / soggy as in it's frozen and been reheated ..... Service was slow despite being nearly empty ... I actually felt ill after the food. Wasn't cheap either . Such a waste of money.

We met up with family 7 adults 2 toddlers and a baby for brunch, the staff were fantastic and accommodating very helpful and pleasant. Setting very chilled and modern. The service was fantastic taking a large order quickly and efficiently and bringing out all the food at the same time nice and hot. The chicken and Waffles was top notch and delicious. I would highly recommend a visit to Joxer.

Unlike other reviews I’ve read I commend them for being dog friendly and found the staff to be exceptionally friendly to both me and my pup. I had a short wait on a busy Saturday approximately 10 minutes for a table. The menu had great options and I choose the korean pork belly benny which was delicious. I was sitting in view of the bar and saw plenty of fab looking cocktails being made as well albeit I had a lovely cappuccino. My dog is very well behaved and lay under my chair and upon paying I was told how good she was. I would never take her into an establishment if she were not well behaved. I wholeheartedly disagree with comments that dogs being in eateries as being unhygienic. They aren’t in kitchens where food is being prepared. But if you don’t agree with dog friendly establishments then avoid them. The food and service here was great and I will definitely return when I’m in Holywood again and walk off the food at Seapark with my 🐶.

My husband and I walked in for a brunch as we had a voucher. It was very busy and there was a wait for tables. Staff took our name down but couldn’t give us a rough length for the wait. It turned out to be around 20 minutes so that wasn’t too bad. When we got our table the service was good. Water was immediately provided without having to ask. Food did take a while to arrive and if you are ordering the pancakes it might be worth noting that the bacon served with them is really thick. I was not a fan, I much prefer the more usual thinner bacon but that is a personal preference. The pancakes were lovely and fluffy though and my husband really enjoyed his steak and eggs.

Horrendous queues waiting for a table with everyone on top of each other at front door but unforgiveable was the wait at the table for a simple breakfast. one hour in total! Unfortunately I did not know and was totally unaware that this place allows dogs everywhere. I felt this to be totally unhygienic and could not wait to vacate the premises.

Saturday afternoon at 4:30, called in with my elderly pensioner Mother who needed to sit down. Three tables seated drinking coffees, guy said oh we close between 4 & 5 but we can get you a coffee, he asked woman what table to sit us at and she said no we can’t sit them. Asked to leave. Unprofessional, unfriendly and will not be back. Do not recommend.

£13 for two under-baked soggy scones and 2 small lukewarm cappuccinos. Suffice to say we won't be back. Pretentious service too.

Had chicken caesar salad with kumbucha and friend had chicken sandwhich (fried chicken) and a Tom Collins cocktail. Nice atmosphere and staff. It's dog friendly. A dog came up and sniffed my table while on lead with another customer which wasn't pleasant IMO but would return.
