mclarnons RAMBLE INN in Antrim

Met friends for lunch today. Thus place hasn't changed in years - in a good way. Cosy, great service and quality comfort food. I had the best Chicken Maryland I've ever had, with great quality chicken, gammon and a nice touch with a wedge of beautifully charred fresh Pineapple. Other dishes included chickennwithbpepper sauce and a roast beef dinner. Home made cheesecake and jam sponge with custard followed for two of us. Fabulous meal and looking forward to returning soon.

We arrived with 3 dogs and were greeted by such friendly staff who showed us to the bar area where we had a fabulous roast dinner, the staff were great giving the dogs drinks and attention. Will definitely be back!

Great food, generous portions, excellent service, the staff are wonderful you feel so welcome. Well done all at the Ramble Inn!!

Totally enjoyed our breakfast staff are super friendly and very efficient will definitely return good value for money loved it xx

There was no atmosphere at all, but it was lunchtime. Had a toasted sandwich that had flavour and was well filled. However, the toast was barely warm and not toasted in and lacked any colour. No lunch menu, just sandwiches and wraps or the full menu, which is a bit heavy and pricey for lunchtime. Our waitress was friendly enough.

Booked for a small family group of 9 after a wedding. Added another person at the last minute - nothing was any trouble. Service from the waitress, right through to food service was great. More importantly our group selected from across the menu - the food could not be faulted

Very nice place 15 minutes from the airport where we had dinner on the road to the North. Very warm welcome from the staff and delicious fish and chips.

Excellent food and service. Great choice menu and two of the nicest and friendliest waitresses I've ever come across. Sorry can't remember their names.

Just had an amazing meal with hubby and our little dog. Staff are very friendly and we'll definitely be back soon!

Very nice staff, varied menu, fair prices.

Nice place, food good. Serving staff rather abrupt and incomunative. Can't answer all questions as it was pouring with rain the day we ate there. My son had gammon, egg and chips , which is not on list below.9

Felt for what we ordered wasn't great onion rings were not cooked batter was like rubber luke warm to much salt on every Pavlova was not good at all.... need to try better 🤔 alot of pre-cooking going on in the kitchen!!

Just visited the Ramble Inn tonight as a wee birthday treat for my husband. Lovely atmosphere, really attentive staff and lovely food. My husband had the steak and I had salmon - both beautifully cooked. The very kind waitress even brought my cardigan out to my car when I accidentally left it behind me - Can recommend and will be returning 👍

Lovely and historical spot for dinner. Good food too!

Service was slow but the staff was friendly and food was acceptable. Not something I would be craving to go back to but overall pretty good! Large portions - fish and chips, chicken goujans, steak with pepper sauce! 4 stars!

Just away from the place... the food was terrible. The chips were uncooked and the Korean chicken wasn't warm as if it had been precooked and left to the side. The kids mac and cheese was disgusting and inedible. I think even the waiting staff could tell how the food standard was so low. In fairness we should have refused to eat it as it was that bad. Thr chips were sent back though. Il definitely not be back.

Coming here for 10 plus years never a bad meal Always very welcoming

Had a lovely meal with family for my grandsons fifth,would highly recommend for prompt efficient service and excellent grub.

Excellent fish & chips, and atmosphere is interesting and very cozy!

Our little family stopped by here for the very first time this evening and I have to say, from your staff, to your food, absolutely brilliant. We really enjoyed our meal, it was top quality. Brill portion sizes. Nice little cosy atmosphere, and friendly waitresses. I believe it was the owner himself? Walking about smiling and checking everyone was okay. Thank you. I love when we find a nice place to eat out. We will definitely be back.

Good service, food satisfactory but for a function vegetables should be served separately.

Best pavlova I ever tasted. Friendly service at a reasonable price. We just stopped to use the toilet on our way back to Dublin. I highly recommend this restaurant.

A great Pub/Restaurant to visit. Very busy at times but well worth a visit.

Great food, warm welcome. Servings are very generous. Pie of the day was superb (steak & ale).

Not sure why people rave about this place ! Food average service was “strained” guy was either having a bad day or personality transplant not sure which but a smile wouldn’t go amiss !!

Absolutely amazing, on holiday visiting friends, definitely worth the plane ride from England just to come here. The food was plenty and delicious, service was second to none. Thank you to all for making our evening pleasant Les, Ant, Maggie and Geoff 😁

Delicious food with quick and friendly service.

Second time now in the last year where the food has been well below average. It’s unfortunate because the food used to be lovely

We were looking for a spot to stop for dinner on our way back to Belfast from a day out at Giant's Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede, etc. during our vacation. We noticed this spot on Google maps and saw it had good reviews and the menu looked good, so we decided to stop in. The service was exceptional - some of the best we experienced during our 2 weeks in Ireland/Northern Ireland, and we had great service in many places! We found the food to be terrific as well. We had the vegetable soup - it was so fresh, and the broth was perfect. We also had the pasta carbonara (this was toward the end of our trip and we were ready for a change from traditional Irish fare) and it was also quite tasty. The garlic bread that came with it was superb as well. Overall we had such a lovely experience, once of our favorite meal stops of the trip!

Stopped by today on the way home from Belfast,met and greeted by Pauline who got us a lovely table by the window,drinks swiftly ordered while we browsed the menu 2 of the party had the 8oz steak and myself the steak sandwich, I can honestly say this was the best meal we all have ate out in a long time (I eat out once a week)freshly prepared and lovely golden chips that where cooked to perfection, desserts where apple crumble 👌 wow amazing!!!!Well done to the chefs 👨‍🍳 will definitely be back and to Pauline and team today a big thank you!!!! 💯 will recommend to all my friends will be back soon!!

Lovely food. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Quickly becoming one of my favourite places!! The service is always personable and the staff are all very good. A quirky rustic wee restaurant with stacks of character and the food is great!! The Gravy is unreal as well!! Keep up the good work team!!

What a fantastic place for food. We had a beautiful meal today. The service was brilliant and food unbelievable. Thank you.

Superb service and food, massive portions so make sure you are hungry

Beer overpriced,,,,,food too expensive in this 80s style restaurant

We have visited the Ramble Inn many times over the last 5 years. Normally at Christmas time. We came back from a visit to the Bushmills Distillery. We stopped off at the reserve time. Our Aussie quest had superb cod and chips . One had cod goujons which was excellent. I tried a Korean dish. The flavour was very good . It was over cooked and the chicken was rigid. Well it was my fault straying for the normal. The manager owner asked is everything OK. We had a quest. They tried their best and succeeded

Good decent pub grub very big portions

First time at the Ramble Inn. Staff were very welcoming, efficient and couldn't do enough. Food was 10/10, generous portions, hot, fresh and affordable. We will definitely be back regularly from here on in. Thank-you

Absolutely loved dining here. From the welcome at the door to service everything was superb. Food was fresh and yummy. Very pleased with portion sizes too. Highly recommend.

Really great experience, food tasty with great portion sizes , service fantastic & really good prices. Mr McLarnon is outstanding such a well mannered friendly host, so welcoming & shows his appreciation every time. We send all our Airbnb guests here and they all love it ! Keep up the good work!

Didn't dine here..good night's dancing

had excellent meal with group, food was tasty, warm and good value for money.. staff were helpful and polite.

We came here as a quick stop before catching a flight from Belfast International. It was an early dinner booking, so we were the first ones in there. Lots of restaurant space, new menu. I recommend the pepper chicken! The portion sizes were good, hot and freshly made. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Had a lovely evening meal with family. The Ramble Inn is full of character, and the service is good. The food is excellent 👌 it is certainly a place to go for good food

Best food on the road. Always. Great service. Nice place to go.... I highly recommend it...

We called this evening for a meal but we’re significantly disappointed - a rare poor meal.

Lovely friendly staff, great pub food served in a nice traditional atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop. Portions are huge so go hungry!

Friendly, comfortable place to eat with excellent service and food was amazing

This was our first time here and we will be back the food was delicious 😋 service was great very relaxed atmosphere.

Good food and nice staff, The only thing I can fault was that the portions were a bit shy.

They fitted us in on a busy bank holiday which was very great.

Very average. Food wasn't warm and chips were horrible. After having heard how good this place was I was extremely disappointed today. Won't be in a ruch back. Much better places to ear close by

Went today for a nice meal .And as always the Ramble gave us what we where looking for. Have been here before and will go again.

I have passed by the Ramble Inn many many times down the years and had never stopped in for food until late yesterday afternoon. We were a party of four and all ordered different meals from the menu. All of us enjoyed our choices immensely, the portions were massive and the food absolutely delicious. Service was just about spot on, attentive without being an interruption. The price was very reasonable, but when you consider the quantity and quality of the food it was very good value indeed. I'm glad we called in yesterday. All those years of just passing by are my loss.

Good food.... friendly, efficient staff... Great meeting place close to M2 etc

Very attentive staff and a good meal.

Had a great day at the Ramble inn where there was an antique fair on Easter Tuesday. Bargain Hunt was being filmed at the fair and I met the presenter and the experts.

Lovely food , very attentive staff/excellent friendly service. 10oz sirloin cooked perfect followed by sticky toffee pud very nice.... washed down with a pint of Guinness ..... excellent lunch thanks.

My wife and myself were here for a late lunch on a recommendation from a family member. I had the burger and my wife had the chicken goujons . A very friendly atmospheric place and the staff were very friendly and courteous. Both meals were absolutely beautiful and out of the kitchen very quickly. 2 meals and 2 soft drinks just over £40. Brilliant value and we'll definitely be back again . *****

Stopped in for a coffee and something sweet, and it was excellent Will definitely be going back

Called in on Easter Sunday, met with smiles and warm greetings from all the Staff. They were very attentive to our needs and courteous at all times. The Food was excellent, well presented and there was plenty of it! We don't get to call very often but when we can we really look forward to Dining here. Thanks to all concerned!

Good honest food, well cooked and superbly presented. Good ambience and very friendly staff. We'll be back

Great food and really lovely friendly waiting staff. Reasonable prices.

Portions were a little small for the price. I had peppered chicken and champ, the staff were lovely and cosy feel to the place.

A1 service and food very nice Sunday lunch

My Wife and I called in for a meal on the way back from a trip to Belfast. The place itself was very tidy and had very nice décor. The staff were nice and friendly. It has a good menu for all tastes - not certain about Vegan but I believe I saw some options. I had the Home made Pie (Chicken and Gammon) which was very very nice, if anything the portion size was a little big, however that is better than walking away hungry! Prices etc. were around average for the places we have eaten in recently. All in all we really enjoyed our visit and would happily call in again.

On way home from Ballymena stopped here for dinner. Food delicious and good portions. Staff friendly and attentative.

Proper food, great venue, always a good time

Visited mid week for some lunch and had our dog with us. Called ahead to see if allowed dogs in bar and was given a yes straight away. Staff very attentive and claire (I think) was amazing with Stella she lapped up all the attention. I do apologise to the other member of staff who was very weary of her which I completely understand and I can only tell you that she is a gentle giant. Food was prompt and the garlic bread and mushrooms was amazing! Thank you again!

Food was fantastic excellent service

Have eaten here a few times now, breakfast and lunch. Food has always been excellent as have staff whom I've found to be polite, professional and friendly. What more could you want.

Good stop on the road North for a filling lunch, will call again.

The staff are so friendly and helpful...

Old menues on Web site with some dishes no longer available and prices which were half the price of what they are now

Lovely Meal, Quick service, Friendly Staff

As a regular client I always am assured of a personal welcome, generous portions of tasty food and excellent service I host group dinners here too and am always guaranteed personal attention and excellent value for money Thoroughly recommend the Ramble Inn for individuals or clubs events

Lovely food, great service, good price

Sorry we can't go to you thirs weekend no thank you

Called at the Mclarnons Ramble Inn last week in Antrim with one of my work friends before I got off this week. Loved this place, the staff were lovely, everything clean, food gorgeous and gluten free options available. Will definitely be calling again to sit at the warmth of the stove

I went in for a evening meal one of the best meals i had for a long time The meal was piping hot and the food portions were fantastic definitely be back and the staff were very friendly and helpful 👌 one happy customer

Went to see Clubsound in their last performance..brilliant as always. Xmas meal was very good but afraid the service was questionable after being forgotten.

Every time we eat here, always amazing, good size feed, quick service and decent price

Fantastic meal plus the owner took time to chat with us and welcome us. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fabulous! This was the last night of our first visit to Northern Ireland and what a treat! Such a friendly welcome, beautifully cooked and generously portioned meals by a roaring fire. The team clearly really care about every visitor. Thank you so much!

Couldn't recomend this place enough. ! Staff are so friendly. Food is excellent and so cosy. Very good value . Highly recomend Sticky toffee pudding.

The food is excellent and the staff are very friendly. The fire was on when we were there and it was very cozy. Highly recommend it if you're passing or in the area.

The starters arrived fairly quickly after ordering. The portion sizes were pretty good and the food was hot and very tasty. Likewise the main courses. The waitress was very friendly and efficient. This was our first time at the Ramble Inn and we would have no hesitation in going back.

They were very busy the day that I was in and they did their very best for us they do very nice food

Always good food and friendly staff, reasonable prices.

Must recommend this place . Thursday evening big fire going in small bar and great friendly atmosphere. Food was excellent and lots of staff providing great attentive service. Main thing I feel was the competitive prices including the wine. 2 coarses drinks and a bottle of plonk for £70.

Excellent food and presentation. Lovely country style atmosphere. Staff are excellent. Dermot very welcoming to customers as usual and makes a point of going around to speak to everyone when he can.

The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Food was served promptly and everyone enjoyed it.

Called in for a bite to eat with our dog. Very friendly staff and food was lovely and v reasonably priced. Big thumbs up :)
