We came here because of the reviews we read and we were not disappointed. We are both veggies and it can be hard sometimes to get decent food. The veggie fry we had was one of the best and very decently priced. Staff were lovely and friendly. If we're back in Ballycastle we will definitely call in again.

We needed a place for breakfast because we had missed the breakfast that was included at our B&B due to being out hiking. So we wanted to find something that the locals frequented. Nothing extraordinary but great service and a friendly staff. Just what we needed until our next meal.

Went here last Sunday morning with 2 friends. The staff were really friendly and the food was very good. We ordered the large frys which were not at all greasy and good value. Would recommend and would return again.

This place has it all - friendly and helpful staff, comfortable and clean dining area, good choice of tasty dishes and drinks and the price is right! My family and I ate here 3 times during our week - we had breakfast, lunch, starters and drinks - all really good. The Belly buster fry was unreal HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Our favourite place to eat in Ballycastle when with the family. Everyone finds something they like on the menu. My personal favourite is the veggie fry-up. Friendly staff. Excellent coffee. Great value

Back a couple of years ago I had opportunity to have a chat with the owner of our dolly's As a trained chef ( myself ) I advised her at the time to keep providing good honest decent food at a reasonable price and her customer footfall to her door would grow week by week ... Another visit by my wife and I yesterday was again met by good honest decent food and the price was very affordable.. Our dolly's is just simply the best it's a very well run business with no airs of graces quality food at affordable prices and at 57 years old I doubt if I'll ever see our dolly's closed Many happy years to come our dolly's Decently food at a decent price is the key to success Keep up the great work

We enjoyed breakfast at Our Dollys twice on a recent trip to Ballycastle. (Would have been more, but our B&B included breakfast.) Both visits the service was good and food delicious. My girls also thought the lattes were some of the best of anywhere over our 9 days in Ireland!

I've always heard people talking about how good the food and service was here but honestly I was disappointed. When we walked in, it was maybe half full but not terribly busy, we were shown to a table by a very grumpy faced young girl who stopped to the table and literally threw the menus across the table. We waited for 15 minutes before I went to till asking to place an order, I was told there was one staff member taking orders and there was 1 table ahead of us then ours would be taken. 20 minutes and 4 tables later we finally managed to get our order taken. The whole time the rest of the staff just seemed to be standing around with their hands on their hips and sour expressions on their faces. The food did arrive quickly but was pretty basic, chips sausage etc were hard and dry. Dont think ill be rushing back.

We visited Our Dollys for breakfast (brunch) on the recommendation of our Airbnb host. We were not disappointed. We were seated in a booth and the staff were prompt and friendly taking our order. My husband opted for the large fry whilst I had a pick and mix of various "fry" items from the menu. We both had large helpings that kept us going throughout the rest of the day. Would highly recommend.

We had breakfast here twice whilst staying with friends in Ballycastle. The staff were so welcoming especially Shelley who entertained us by flattering our husbands! They have an extensive choice of breakfasts, from traditional to pancakes or eggs Benedict all very reasonably priced. There is a real community vibe, the staff show a genuine caring approach towards customers which was lovely to witness. They also have a great selection of cakes. If you happen to be in Ballycastle please pop in.

We visited on a Monday afternoon and left 1 minute after walking in the door. We told the man at the door we wanted a table for two and he directed us where to sit. There were two tables next to each other and we incorrectly thought he meant for us to sit at one by the window. My partner went to pull out the chair when the black haired female staff member shouted at us. She roared “you can’t sit there “ ! She had her hand on her hip and was rolling her eyes and gesturing to the people at the table she was serving as if to say “how stupid are these people”. I said to my partner come on we’ll go somewhere else and just left. I don’t know who this lady is, if she owns the place or is an employee but I have never felt as badly treated anywhere I have been. If it was my business, I would remind staff of the importance of a smile and a hello when customers choose to spend their money in your business. Needless to say we went and spent our money elsewhere. Save your money and drive on by. We have received great service in other places in Northern Ireland. There are plenty places that will appreciate people holidaying in their own country this year and will treat you a lot better.

Great cafe for breakfast, selection of cooked breakfasts including pancakes which were declared delicious. I had the veggie breakfast which was good quality and really filling before a days sightseeing. They also have pastries and cakes available which looked lovely but we were too full to try. Staff were friendly and doing a great job keeping everything spotlessly clean in between customers. It was good to see Covid-19 precautions being taken seriously.

I came across this gem while in Ballycastle recently. My partner and I seen a queue outside to get in and thought to ourselves this must be good. Well I was not disappointed! The staff were so friendly and attentive and the food was out of this world. Everything on the menu sounded amazing so it was hard to pick. I got the salt and chilli goujons with garlic chips which were to die for! Please dont ever take them from the menu lol everything was so reasonably priced too. Well done guys and cant wait to be back

When I went in Isat down but no one came near me for 10 mins, I got up and went to the till where a nice lady gave me a menu and informed me she'd be right over, I sat for another 20 mins until I got fed up and left. It does look busy but unless you have the time dont bother. I hate to see the service on a busy day

Restaurant is clean, modern and light filled. Service was very friendly. Hubby had burger and fries that was good but not special. They made a custom order chicken salad sandwich on sourdough bun for me which was delicious. I wish I'd had room for desert. They also serve hot meals and we saw a couple of big lads digging into curry. I recommend.

Coffee shop it is not . It is more like a greasy spoon cafe. Seems to exist mainly for all day brunches and not coffee and cake. Choice of cake in the ‘ coffee shop’ limited unlike in the bakery downstairs. Loos clean but tables were not . Staff friendly enough but lack of menu information letting them down. Some menu boards above serving area seem to be covered by bin bags . Vibes of a seventies cafe . Sad .
