Lizzie Drakes in Lisburn

Great value for money the food is first class.You are always sure to get a good meal here at a reasonable price

Great food and very reasonably priced staff very friendly and efficient

Called in yesterday for lunch and we had a great meal The two guys on were brilliant Our meals came out promptly and piping hot They were both very tasty and we were served up healthy portions Basically good country pub food

Myself, my husband and granddaughter popped in here for dinner last Sunday. Amazing value for money and a very cozy atmosphere.

The main issues is around cleanliness or lack off, The 100’s of 5 stars reviews Drakes get doesn’t make sense, those people giving 5stars must eat is some lousy places to give Lizzie Drakes 5 stars The food is ok but what can be seen in the bar is very dirty so what must the kitchen be like? Seriously needs a major deep clean

Just back from Lizzy Drakes and forgot what a lovely place to go for dinner.Myself and my kids all said we must make it a regular for dinner.Staff are attentive and friendly, the food was lovely infact big portions that we couldn't finish even tho we tried and the value for money can't be beaten, busy little place with a good atmosphere, definitely pre book a table

I rang on 18th May and booked a table for 4 people for a Saturday evening in July. The man on the phone said that would be no problem, they would be closing for a couple of weeks but would be open again then. I explained it was for a meal to celebrate a wedding and he took my name and number and told me it was booked for 7.30pm. We arrived at just before 7.30pm to a dark and empty bar. No sign of life. A man came out from behind the bar and just looked at us. I told him we had a reservation and he said no we didn’t, we couldn’t have, they were closed! I explained I had spoke to someone who took our booking. He made a show of flicking through what must have been a diary and said definitely nothing was in his book! No apologies, he wasn’t in the least bit interested that a member of his staff had taken a booking(or lied to me that they had) and we had travelled all the way for that. Absolutely no personality or hint of customer service whatsoever. We left and rang gowdys at the racecourse nearby who were most helpful and squeezed us in. We had a beautiful meal and experience there and they really saved the night. We will never return to lizzie drakes and certainly wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Arrived at this bar at 1pm. Seemed closed but was open. I was greeted by a grumpy bar person, not very welcoming. I liked the interior, olde feeling; however there was an awful smell and it could do with a clean. Didn’t serve tea or coffee.

Welcome! is on the mat, we would recommend Lizzie Drakes to anyone who enjoys Good Food, Excellent Service, Friendly Atmosphere Comfortable, Surroundings in a Relaxed out of town Roadhouse. Try it for Yourself and you will agree both Value and Quality stand together here.

I'm always surprised that there are no comments in the reviews about how grubby this place is. I jokingly refer to it as Dirty Drakes! Came for dinner with family and were sat by the door which was constantly being opened and cold air blasting in. The table was sticky and the remnants of someone else's meal was on the seating. The boys ordered mixed grills and steaks which looked good, large portions. There are no vegetarian options and unless you like meat or deep fried food there's not much selection. Glum serving staff with no chat and if you haven't got cash to pay with you've a bit of a journey to go to get some. Could do with a renovation or at least a deep clean.

Lovely food and great staff could do with a makeover but it a lovely village pub, I may add we’ve been going there for the last twenty years and there mixed grill is to die for would feed a family of four

Food is always delicious and very good in Lizzie Drakes. We really enjoyed our food. Highly recommended.

Lovely as usual and great value for money

Food is of great quality, a hidden gem

Cold , people eating in coats , absolutely awful. Chef needs to move as this owner has no interest whatsoever in making customers welcome.

We decided to go to Lizzie Drakes for our lunch to celebrate our 20yr anniversary,as we have never eaten there before,despite living in the area. We had checked the reviews and all but one,were very promising. Some mentioned about the smoke from the open fireplace,and I must admit,at times it was smokey,but we found that this fitted in perfectly with the setting and it in no way annoyed us,in fact it was the complete opposite. I decided to have a starter and went for the soup of the day(vegetable) and it was absolutely delicious. Linda decided to opt for an omelette as her main,which was amazing. Our son had a burger,which he really enjoyed. I,myself opted for the sirloin steak and peppered sauce. The steak was cooked to perfection and the sauce delicious. Desserts were to die for. As for the service we received, it was fast,pleasant and very very efficient. As a family we really enjoyed our experience at Lizzie Drakes and will most definitely be returning to enjoy more meals and support a locally run business

The food is excellent and the Mixed Grill is legendary. Big problems with the open fire in the middle of the bar. It's lovely when it's burning hot but when it is topped up with fuel it spews a lot of smoke out into the bar. Not very pleasant or healthy. Really needs to be sorted.

Food is unreal... nice and cosy atmosphere...

This is my second time at this pub , first time steak wasn't cooked right , sent it back to be sent another one , so we decided to give it a try again , not a good decision. First ordered duck rolls for starter , they brought them out and there was no duck. I asked the bar man who wasn't very helpful telling me he doesn't know while shrugging his shoulders . When I asked someone else they came back to tell me they were vegetable rolls , I asked for duck , he told me there was none 😐. So they decided to try and sell us Iceland vegetable rolls without us noticing. Then to the mains my steak was OK but my partners chicken was literally dry as a bone . Will definitely not be back. Customer service very poor , no one came near us to ask was it OK etc . Absolutely terrible service and food .

What a hidden gem this wee spot is,me&my partner went out for my birthday meal and drinks couldn't recommend a better place the food was beautiful and amazingly priced.

Can't recommend this place enough! Food is amazing service is excellent. Love the quirkiness of the building.

Arrived in to a very very busy Lizzy Drakes & the staff were fantastic managing the crowd.. food was amazing again.. many thanks for accommodating us on such a busy night. 5 Stars all round

Do not take card payments... only cash ?!

Top quality food. Great service Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

This has got to be one of the best places to have a steak in the country , its got an old world charm and the staff are amazing, so friendly and helpful, highly recommended

Just had the most amazing fillet steak 🥩

Loved visiting this pub with my family.

BIG portions and really good Guinness. What can I say.

Best steak by far, 10/10 pint of Guinness!!

Doesn't look spectacular but really good food at very reasonable prices.

Food is excellent as always,staff all very friendly,helpful and welcoming.

Fantastic value for money , meals which are always served quickly by very pleasant staff . There's nothing bad to say about this place 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Food is delicious, very quaint little place, staff very friendly, definitely worth a visit.

Well known pub & restaurant famous for the good quality food served there..also friendly staff on hand to cater to all your needs

The food is good, the steak was outstanding!!! I had the 12oz sirloin and it was cooked to a perfect medium rare!! Very tender and very tasty!! 10/10 👍👍👍👍

Took my partner out for a meal & the service was poor. I asked for my meal a certain way & was told no problems, but it seems the chief can't read and I ended up cancelling my meal whilst my partner ate hers. It seems the staff didn't care about it & I certainly won't be back nor recommend it to anyone else

Enjoyed a beautifully cooked steak meal at this venue, it came with roast potato, peas, onion ring, mushrooms and a really good Diane sauce; very reasonably priced also. Staff attentive and friendly. Due to large main portion we didn’t have room for dessert however we ordered Irish coffees which were lovely and arrived with mint creams ( haven’t seen that extra little touch for years). Will be back in the near future to this lovely old pub.

We went on a Sunday for dinner, it was a lovely wee old style pub with beams etc., the meal was first class and service was excellent. The staff were very pleasant, friendly and helpful. Will return again soon.

great wee country pub but only 5 minute drive from Lisburn city . Food is fabulous , best steaks, huge portions and value for money for miles around. Very old fashioned decor but that adds to the character of this place. There is a small front bar and main lounge with open fires in both and another lounge at back which is opened for eating in busy periods. The staff are very polite and helpful and nothing is a bother to them. Can't wait to get back again soon !

Love going to lizzy drakes. Love the food & the hubby loves the steaks. Always get good portions. I always recommend this place. 👌

Have been in a few times for lunch , great service, great food . Flabbergasted by the prices unbelievable value . This is an old pub with original style , it has a fireplace centralized in the main bar , that can sometimes put out allot of smoke ..but on ignition This neutralises within 20 minutes. But if like me food is your thought, your open minded, its giving exceptional value and customer service. My favourite place in lisburn .

If you can finish the mixed grill in Lizzie Drakes, you are a Titan. I have had it several times and it has to be seen to be believed. Good honest Ulster food, and plenty of it.

We arrived for my mums 78th birthday and from the moment we walked through the door, we were geeted by extremely friendly attentive staff. The food at Lizzy Drakes is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. The quality and the amount you get is phenomenal. Staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The ambience is typical of a century old pub and the coal fire 🔥 is soooo welcoming. This is my second time at Lizzy Drakes and I have been telling all my friends and associates about this place. Well done everyone at Lizzy Drakes, you are amazing. C. Newell

Once again I booked which they say they don’t take , went to take my father for his birthday dinner and when I went to restaurant ,the so called owner of the restaurant says they don’t take booking and there was 10 people round the bar waiting to be for a table for food , the hole attitude from the so called owner was unbelievable and cheeky I will never be bk again and as for my father who would eat twice a month there will never be bk again after tonight , unbelievable

quaint with great food and lovely old fashioned atmosphere and service. recommend to anyone who enjoys good cooking with excellent ingredients

The best pub and restaurant around, staff are friendly and food is great, our work normally goes in every Friday last day of the month, can't fault the place

First class service, friendly staff and fast service, food nice and warm.

Excellent food with reasonable prices

Good food and staff very friendly but could benefit from a good refresh

Always good good and friendly helpful staff.

Not a bad place , decent steak , good portions, needs a bit of work and a lick of paint wouldn't go a miss . Staff friendly enough.

Good old home cooking at it's best. The food was lovely and was served with a smile 😃

Amazing food will be back again soon

Lovely meals large portions good service great value and nice place.would definitely recommend it.

Good food pleasant staff, You'll not go home hungry 😋 😋😋 Well worth a visit.

Beautiful meal and service. Thank you 😊

Lovely friendly atmosphere good craic...

A nice public house the. Food could be better we had a Fillet steak 10oz and my wife had a sirloin it was full of sinew and could not even cut through it my Fillet had sinew as well not worth £ 24. WON'T BE BACK.

The garlic potatoes are the best to exist fight me on this. They are not on the menu anymore but ask for them. Also the staff are very nice.

Good food for not too much money. Just make sure to bring cash.

Somewhere that you might not think of going to but 6 of us went last Sunday and had the best steaks. Very cosy bar and food great value

Lovely wee bar and restaurant the 12oz steaks are monsters and so juicy and the mixed grill is a challenge on its own would highly recommend this place for food and drinks great staff

This is one of my favourite places , great meal in here

Goede pub, geen bankkaart, alleen cash (ponden GB) Lekker eten en vriendelijk personeel!

Food amazing and friendly staff

Fantastic little pub, I didn't pre-book so got the reviewed back room for a meal. I've learnt now tho that it's essential to book to be in the warmth of the front bar. That aside the service was good and the food was superb, a proper steak house. I'll be booking next time and staying for a few pints.

Loved stopping in at the local pub, cozy atmosphere and the food was excellent! Next time I’m visiting Northern Ireland I will definitely be stopping by again!

Mixed grill is some size. Quick service and polite staff.

Food was great we were put in a back lounge with no atmosphere and the staff were few and far to be seen open the bar in the back lounge and at a bit of background music and it would be a lot better

Best steak I've had all round first class meal. Service was great 👍

My first time in Drakes. Loved the old fashioned feel. Low wooden beams. Especially liked the open fire. A class touch on a very cold day. Got a table by the fire. Staff very attentive and friendly. Food was delivered quickly and it was great. Very tasty. Everyone else remarked that their choice was just as good. we were not rushed off table. No loud music in background so we could all talk to each other while eating. Definitely will be going back.

Great service. Visited several times and not once had a meal I didn't enjoy

Always good food and teriffic value.

Great food, very reasonable nice pleasant staff . Hope to return soon.

Lovely meal and service was great will be back

Went at Sunday lunch time for a steak, quite disappointed that despite the menu calling the place a steakhouse there was only one 6oz steak on the menu. The waitress did say the chef would do us bigger ones though which he did. They were excellent, as were the onion rings and mushroom. The fact that they served frozen chips with such a good steak is a real shame.

Delicious food and plenty of it.

Another excellent meal at Lizzie Drake's. 10/10. Fast and friendly service by all the staff

Staff very kindly fitted us in last minute ...Great food, portions ,friendly staff....only thing my mother pointed out was the waitress had long ponytail but had teatowel over her shoulder...hair touching it...,then she was lifting hot plates!!! I agreed it wasn't very hygenic ...maybe tuck cloth in apron or even belt....

Very friendly welcome. Looked after from we walked in the door! Food was excellent ( generous portions ). Would definitely recommend you pay them a visit for food or just a drink👍🏼

Food was great and the mixed grill was to die for.staff were very professional and we did not need to wait long for our food to arrive.

Super tasty food with large portions and very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic service and lovely food

Great food lovely helpful staff and a nice experience all round would definitely recommend this place.

Excellent food and big portions, chatty staff, really good pints. First timers unaware cash only, nae bother work away and throw it in when you can.

Proper wholesome home made food,,excellent food,,friendly and helpful staff,,surroundings getting a little tiered,,but still good,,food and prices make up for it,,highly reccomend!!
