pit stop in North Down

Absolutely brilliant…such a range of food at great prices…family had a great relaxing meal…plus our wee muttly got a free sausage…lol…the food explains the number of people we had to Q against…what a so popular spot…definitely recommend…

Very bland and tasteless food. Dishes not labeled so had to guess what they were. Cold food plated up then zapped in microwave. Serving staff and cleaners work hard. Sorry but it Should be called Sh*t Spot.

Trying to find the best fry in Bangor we thought we’d try the Pit Stop. It certainly wasn’t here anyway! On ordering we asked if we could have our tea at time our fry was ready. We were abruptly told we’d have to go back up and get it ourselves? When the fry arrived it didn’t look very appetizing. To start with the fried egg was hard and cold. I think it may have been cooked earlier! The rest of the food on the plate wasn’t very warm either. The tea was hot! A bonus!! I’ve just read some other reviews and I can relate to them. We didn’t enjoy our experience and we won’t be back.

The place always looks lovely and the owner seems very nice but lack of choice for vegetarians and vegans. Elderly family member treated a tad cruelly by a member of staff which put me off .... she clearly is not aware that the elderly are not as 'switched on' as her but anyway..... not for me unfortunately, which is a pity as it looks lovely and the owner clearly has a real eye for detail.

Well let’s start with the owner (I’m assuming he’s the owner because he doesn’t smile and is rude, has grey hair) again so rude, doesn’t smile, makes you feel rush, would tut at you when ordering. One of my friends actually ordered something he didn’t like because he was being rushed, they wouldn’t let my friend take something off her plate that she was allergic to because “it comes as it is” chicken was soggy. The only person that was actually nice to us was the man collecting our plates who had the grey hair. We where also the only people in the que.

Just wrong couldn't go back sent the chips back to be recooked still came back like they haven't been cooked pork sausages pink in the middle 😔

Called in for breakfast around 11.30am with family.....was almost tempted to get a lunchtime dinner instead....until I saw the flies resting happily on the freshly set out food (yuck)....so I reverted back to my original option of the full soda as I know its cooked right away and brought out to the table before the flies have time to feast on it.....mind you who knows where the soda has been sitting uncovered ??? Also it would be nice if the windows and glass partitions between seats were cleaned at least once a week as opposed to what looks like once a year as they were filthy......not leaving out the grease marks running down the walls near the door !!! There is also an Asian woman walking around who doesn't smile and not even a hello....she seems to be a table cleaner but when not doing this task could attempt to do a quick clean of the glass partitions at least as she does have a spray and cloth in her hand. We'll just go elsewhere to a nice cafe instead next time.... Dare i mention the staff they could also do with a lesson in friendliness and manners when dealing with the public.....

I brought my family into here for their breakfast, standing in the queue i watched the flies landing on the food i was nearly sick, people dont realise that once a fly lands it vomits on food and thats what gives you a tummy bug,hence we only eat a fry , the glass windows were filthy between the seats, grease running down the walls the place is a disgrace, person walking up and down nothing to do with a tray in her hand spray & cloth, clean some glass in between the seats theres always something to clean. Very disappointed called the fella over about all our eggs were fried hard no yoke, well thats the way we do them we turn are eggs over! Great attitude. Time to clean up your act and get your staff to work harder and learn to wash and clean in a food business. It will be a while before we are back, then some day we will call in and see if your place is any cleaner. You should consider a pull down lid for the front of your food to keep flies out, your food looks nice but i dont want to become ill with food not being covered.

The food was great plenty of it , quick service Once again the owner walking around forgets to say hello to his customers, come on man smile! Even though you dont know us be nice to say hi!

If your in a hurry this is the place for you, my food was microwaved and I am not a fan of this type of food , it was alright

Called for a meal midweek, just after 6pm. Only a few tasteless-looking bits and pieces on offer at the servery. Chose from what they call the “All Day Menu” only to be told it was only for breakfast time. Made a second choice from the same menu (All Day) with the same result. Staff member was disinterested, unhelpful and somewhat rude in that she had nothing to say about what was available. We ate elsewhere - and will do in future!

We had Sunday carvery there a few weeks ago. The food was well cooked and hot when it was brought to our table. Go early as it gets very busy around 1-1.30.

Super fast , great service , very clean fry with a super range of breakfast options , we were a group of 5 but the service counter was well organised and very quick

Outstanding roast beef . Two thick slices and choice of two veg and lovely gravy . Staff lovely too :)

Fantastic experience. Staff friendly and flexible allowing our order to be tailored to our preferences. Spotlessly clean warm and welcoming atmosphere. Generous sized portions, food not greasy and very tasty. Reasonably priced. Definitely returning soon

Fast, friendly and efficient service. Food served piping hot and freshly cooked. Great for a tasty breakfast!

Cold ready cooked food on a counter not covered so people in que coughing etc on it. Put in microwave to reheat even burger with onions. Chips over cooked can taste the browness, watery gravy and beans no juice. Staff member came In for shift...

Had chicken pie,mash, toasties, cauliflower cheese and cabbage and as always cannot fault it at all lovely grub at decent prices..

I was at this place before and gave a review. Anyway my friends said they had been and that it was OK, so they convinced me to try it again. There was 4 of us all had different meals, not one of us ate more...

Informed staff of severe nut allergy. Was told it would be best to go elsewhere!!! Essentially refused me service! DISCRIMINATION!!!

My friend and I went here on Monday morning for breakfast. We both order a fry but my friend wanted a poached egg instead of a fried egg. We were informed that this would cost an extra 50p. An egg is an egg…. And poaching...

While other cafe's in Bangor have upped their game especially post-Pandemic. This place's standards have remained very much retro. * Hot, stuffy & unventilated * Very average, pre-cooked food. eg Ulster Fry. * Expensive, for what you get. * Cheap decor, utensils & overall appearance.

Absolutely ridiculous place. Should be closed down over 20 flies alone on the food counter on the food. Disgusting

I m writing with a complaint,I ordered a omelette and my friend mince pie.i was asked if I wanted bacon/mushrooms in it which I replied no.but when the omelette arrived when you cut thru it.it was moist/juice running out of it.and it had bacon/mushrooms in...

Don’t visit here if you’re allergic to anything. Asked for an American breakfast without the mushrooms (will be sick if they’re anywhere near me) but was told abruptly “no changes allowed.” Leads me to believe that either the fried breakfasts are pre-prepared and just re-heated...

Food was cold. Despite there being very few customers in the food was disappointing cold. Sausages were overcooked and didn't look good at all. Definately wouldn't rush back here.

Haven’t been in for ages so we thought we’d give it a go for Breakfast last Thursday,ordered French toast with bacon £5.95 on the menu came with NO bacon and 2 slices of the skinniest toast you’ve ever saw when I quizzed about the missing...

I had breakfast there for the first time around 5 weeks ago, I had french toast and it was delicious, the bread was thick with different fruits and syrup on the side, I went again last week and had pancakes bacon and egg it was...

Absolutely love this place. Food always wins hands down, only shame is the attitude of the Asian lady on the tills and that you can visually see members of staff eating behind the counter in the kitchen and then not washing their hands before serving...

Went for a meal with my wife. It was over priced over cooked and over the table, advice, don't go. We were forewarned, but wanted to give it a try, Big mistake.

I visited today Friday 11th March2022 with my Partner. We used to frequent this cafe/restaurant once a week for an Ulster Fry. Not any more. we are done. We have noticed since they reopened after Covid, their standard of food has gone down. We ordered...

I have eaten here many times over the years, and have always enjoyed my meals, it has changed for the better from my first visit, as it is American themed, the hot meals are very good and they do not skimp on portion, there is...

Had lunch one Sunday with family, it does what it says on the tin good home cooked food at reasonable prices , some of the staff could smile but still had a nice lunch.

Fed up with all these bad reviews about Zee Ping this girl has to deal with all the customer needs,and keep the queue moving while doing the deserts,drinks,and still trying to look at after the company, this is a business with low profit margins,and she...

The lady on the till needs to learn some customer service and learn how to smile, Gordy is an absolute credit to you, excellent customer service skills, great sense of humour and couldn't do more to help us ! Would only go back due to...

Never again will I step foot in this awful what ever u can call it. Dirty rude disgusting food my wife didn't even eat her food scrambled egg was swimming in juice enough to make u sick. The cashier lady so rude my 4 year...

Went here for Dinner and as son does not like fried eggs we asked for scrambled as they where on the all day menu to be told they dont do scramble eggs after Four if that is the case why is it on an all...

I was really looking forward to trying this place, first of all the lady who took the order made us feel very awkward, no smile or warmth as expected in the hospitality business, food arrived cold, even the extras that cost nearly £3 just for...

I visited the PitStop this week for the first time in at least 5 years! I was surprised to see it had been renovated since my last visit and definitely looks more like an American diner. I also noticed that it did not smell as...

After reading other reviews on Trip Asvisor, I can’t say I was delighted about my friend’s suggestion of visiting The Pitt Stop for breakfast however I was very pleasantly surprised. Dining area, tables, floors, toilets were extremely clean and tidy. Breakfast item were cooked fresh...

Called in last Thursday evening at 4.30 for dinner. There were 3 of us. We all ordered the jumbo fish and chips. We were not disappointed by the size as the fish was very large. Cooked excellent and the service was speedy. Recommend this place...

First time eating in the pitstop since lockdown. Ordered two Ulster frys and was surprised that the cost was almost £15. On closer inspection of the receipt noticed that if you want tea with your fry post lockdown now it's no longer free but an...

Terrible service orderd sausage egg and bacon soda bacon was hard soda was like toasted uncooked sausages not a good service at all will not be back

Terrible service. Had at least 6 families queuing for 45 mins telling us the where opening in 5 mins then told quarter passed ten, this is all by people going in and asking. No member of staff cane out and told us anything at all...

Section: Hot Food Takeaway (Adjacent to the main restaurant).I called in last Saturday, Oct 17th, shortly before lunch time. As I'd missed my breakfast that morning, I decided to get a portion of Chips with my Full House Soda. "Not" a good idea as it turned out. When I got home, I found the chips were anything but crispy, weren't fully cooked, and the cooking oil used to cook them must have been either cheap quality or had seen better days.The small amount I managed to eat gave me indigestion, but worse was to come. Lets just say, I'm glad I was quick on my feet !Best Advice: Order the Chips at your own risk !

My experience of this place is a horrible one. Owner needs to really look at the staff!! No customer service skills whatsoever. Specifically staff member with black hair& tattoos, not the first time she’s been rude & ignorant to me and my family, I have...

Enjoyed a lovely meal here while out with family. Had a rib eye steak dinner for less than £10. I would definitely go again.

El gran amplio café que sirve comida grasienta no fumador para freír comida recién hecha durante todo el día. Tiene un servicio en el lugar y es uno de los favoritos entre los parada con los ciclistas, ciclistas y clientes habituales. Buenas instalaciones toilit y un bar de helados. El menú de comida completo y la selección y las porciones son de primera clase. Se llena y el aparcamiento es estrecho, pero vale la pena una visita.

WOW How can a family diner be so dirty,cutlery and glasses ( my goodness the toilets) regulars must like it as it is busy ,but check it out before you order I bet you go somewhere else.

Rating should be -100 and should be closed due to hygiene! Toilets a disgrace , please check them out before ordering food, the staff use them and that says alot about the kitchen and front of house hygiene standards.

We eat here quite often and find the staff friendly and helpful. There is always a very varied choice of main meals to choose from and quickly served with good sized portions something to cater for young and old
