Delicious breakfast...had the fry ( 5 or 10 piece option) and everything was freshly cooked. There are also lots of other options on the menu. Staff are really pleasant. Very reasonably priced.

This was a good choice for their all day breakfast. We went there just before lunch time and it was good and busy. The food was great and avoided the greasiness that some fried food can have. The waitress was very helpful and open. A nice experience overall.

Arrived for an ice cream after trip up the coast. Despite checking that it was open until 7pm, when we arrived at 6.30pm it was closed. Very disappointing.

Went for ice-cream and it was more like whipped cream. Brought it back to the shop and asked to exchange it as it was awful, was told no matter where they put the honeycomb it never hardens! Why serve it? The lady was as much use as a chocolate fireguard. They could do with staff that had a decent personality. Will definitely not be back near the place. Keep your money and go to the spar and buy an ice lolly.

It was OK. Felt a bit uncomfortable some young girl seved me she gave me a scoop and possibly another half. I seen the other girl sign to her just one scoop. Honestly the first was good but the second ice-cream it was stingy and expensive. Can't see me rushing back.

I had breakfast here the morning of my wedding with my family and friends. We mostly had a traditional Ulster fry apart from one of my groomsmen who is the fussiest eater! He needed microwaved scrambled eggs and beans separately. Even though Mandy doesn’t cook her scrambled eggs that way he was accommodated. The food was great and the service was outstanding. Cannot recommended highly enough

Food okay. Staff unwelcoming, made to feel awkward, didn’t want to hang around. Could be a nice place if the staff were friendly and it was tidied up a bit.

We called in here for a ‘Fry’ before heading off for the day. Basic but functional seating. The 10 & 5 piece ‘Frys’ were very good value for money. My bacon however was overcooked and tough. Happy to try again if passing.

Called in here this morning with my partner and ordered two 5 piece Fry's which came with free tea or coffee. My partner asked for a flavoured latte as she doesn't drink regular coffee. Unusually had to pay the bill as soon as I ordered which was fine until I saw I had been charged full price for the latte. Queried this with the server as I naturally assumed it would only be a supplement as anywhere else offering a free drink with a meal only charge you the difference. When I done this, the server brushed me of and walked away. The drinks then arrived at the table and the so called flavoured latte was some sort of warm cup of milk. My partner approached the owner who turned her back and said to our server "You deal with her". Needless to say this is not the best way to run a business, the old adage runs true, the customer is always right. Been here before and had no problems but can't abide rudeness so won't be returning. Went up to the service station to get a real coffee!

Hidden in the back of the broughshane village next to the final turn out to the country. Mandy's sits in an unfortunate part of broughshane as it lacks its parking spaces with the exception of roadside parking. Walking past a couple times through the weekdays it seems pretty empty with just a ice cream station and a cold dessert station also. One morning I thought I'd call in to see what was on offer. The first thing that I noticed From looking at the menu is that the prices are very cheap! from pizzas to stew and even your 10 piece fry. Despite the prices increasing slightly for the sundaes and the frys and a few other items. The prices are still great. On first visit I ordered a 10 piece fry. Service was rather slower than I would have liked but it was a busy day and can be easily forgiven as the food was great. Good, hashbrowns that are crispy and not chewy, by far the best in ballymena in my trials. Slowly but surely, as I came in more often you can see that the staff recognise you and not only that but you can really sense that they more than appreciate your custom and regulars are always greatly greeted with open arms. one of the few places where, the senior staff in particular, are able to joke around with costumers and make each visit different. portion sizes are definitely commendable and it's definitly worth a stop! Despite the constant feeling that it's a converted living room of sorts due to the only 'decor' being a few menus posted and photos on a single wall.. and the less than favourable music played on the Jukebox. Mandy's is worth your while. If you're ordering something like a fry and it's a weekend morning. Do allow yourself a little extra time as holding true to most cafe traditions, orders can sometimes be a little sluggish. All in all.. for price... value and quality.. Mandy's is the place to go. If I'm ever anywhere near broughshane and I'm looking for a breakfast, there's no where else I would go.

This is a very clean cafe. They have a great selection of menu and if you want the breakfast they have got a very good selection of items that you can choose from. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is freshly cooked and when it comes to you it is very warm which is good. I definitely would recommend here.

Went here just after normal lunch hours and ordered the ten piece breakfast. They give you a list to choose from which is excellent. A good range but great that they let you choose. It was empty when I went in and I wasn't sure if it was open but staff appeared and took my order and shortly after more people came in to order. I got my food perfectly cooked and on a hot plate. This is perfect and helps keep the large meal hot while you get through it. Should be normal practice but too many places put hot food on cold plates. The waitress also gave me a warning that the plate was hot which was needed! Excellent prices and a good range with daily specials as well. I will definitely be back.

Food was so good and the live music in the barn was really good but only had half an hour until the dj came on and it was horrendous. Not just me but everyone said the same. Keep the live music on a bit longer or change the dj

During a recent stay at Galgorm with my partner, we did feel a little disappointed by our experience at Fratelli’s. The quality of food didn’t quite meet our expectations, and it felt somewhat underwhelming compared to the high standards set by the rest of the resort. Sadly, we’re unlikely to return to this restaurant as it didn’t live up to the excellence we anticipated.
