Porky's Smokehouse & Grill in North Down

Thanks again for a really great evening, fantastic food and equally fantastic service. I love eating here. See you guys again soon. X

Was looking for Porkeys, walked in w my 4 yr old and place was empty. Felt rushed and they didn’t have any kids crayons or something to draw on like other places, kids portion was small and didn’t not include chips. Under new management and they are not from the area it seems. Other great choices nearby that are more kids friendly.

We visited on Saturday 26th from start to finish it was terrible as customer service was not great at all , we ordered and the food then came out in drips and drabs, the first meals chips feasted of fish they looked terrible also, My sister ordered a burger which came out with onion rings that were still frozen she told the waitress who didn’t say much or do anything Sizzler came out and I was almost hit up the head with it as the girl wasn’t concentrating! I had ordered a steak sandwich with no mushrooms as I’m allergic, steak came with mushrooms on it , I was so put of and ended up saying don’t worry about making a new one as the meal so far for everyone wasn’t good With the way things are at the minute it’s disappointing to go for a meal and pay for something which isn’t worth the money especially when you are served frozen food We definitely will never be back the manager didn’t once come over to see if everything was okay or sort anything out

A waiter said to one of the girls "I get really nervous when people go out for a smoke, incase they do a runner" Then when we paid our £170 bill at the end, the same waiter stopped us to say "Is it all there?" Just insulting lol, the portion sizes where good, the food was decent enough. Prices obviously reflect current climate so I won't pass comment on that...

had a lovly meal here on a trip to bangor for our 10th anniversary which was the next day, recommend the empire stack, good service and good food

Had my birthday meal here recently and wasn't disappointed. The staff were friendly, there was a nice chilled out atmosphere and my meal was really tasty. Their menu is slightly out of date as they no longer do fish and chips, which my husband was a bit disappointed by, but he enjoyed his second choice meal. We will be back for sure!

We visited Bangor and ate here as family. Extensive menu with great variety to suit all ages within the party. Lovely ambience within the restaurant. The food was outstanding, service was efficient, warm and friendly. The kids even wanted to speak to the chef to share how much they enjoyed it! The wine was delicious also. Can’t wait to return with other family members.

Went for dinner tonight with family we waited a good 20 mins before a drinks order was taken then another 10 15 mins for food order... food was nice bit nothing special.. i wasn't asked what way I wanted my steak cooked which came out slightly overcooked. In my opinion I think it was overpriced considering you can get alot more for you money at blue chicargo... we were also charged £4.95 for a jug of my wadi orange cordial which I think is an absolutely absurd price considering you can buy the bottle for £1 in any supermarket... don't think we will be returning in a hurry

We enjoyed a great meal at this restaurant. We were accommodated without booking which was perfect for us after a day of sight seeing. The food options were excellent and we were not disappointed with our individual choices, as all the food was absolutely delicious. We waited a short length of time for the food to arrive which was cooked to order. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. Thank you to all for a great evening

On holiday in Bangor, fantastic service fantastic food. Everyone were happy, even the wee kids. Would definitely recommend.

What else is there to say? Amazing food and fantastic friendly atmosphere. Our server Katie was very friendly and helpful.Great service Katie thank you. We are only here for 10 days but we will be returning before we leave.

Food and service excellent. Great menu, food for all tastes. Service excellent, very friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant, will be back soon.

We arrived and were seated very quickly, the staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered the fish and chips and expected what it said on the menu crispy battered fish, What my husband got was 2 pieces of frozen fish, I wasn't impressed. I ordered a pizza and the base was really thin and soggy , I wasn't happy. We have eaten here before and it was great we travelled over 80 miles and stay in a hotel and always go to porky's because we always got a great meal. Sadly on this occasion this wasn't the case. i hope the food improves, will keep an eye on reviews to see if ever return .

The food was lovely and the staff were very friendly highly recommended..... Always The Best !!!😊😊😊😊

My wife and I brought our daughter, son in law and grandson for dinner and we weren't disappointed. The food and service were excellent and it was yet again great value for money. Keep up the good work

Good food, however, the service was poor. We arrived @ 16.45 on Easter Monday, and was greeted by what can only be described as a young female waitress who obviously didn't want to be there. She never smiled and without being disrespectful, was clueless. She...

We as a family of 4 went to Porkys for a meal and ordered 2 pizzas and fries. When the fries and pizzas was served 1 pizza was eatable and the other was under cooked. U could still see the shaped of the grated cheese...

Total extremes! Place clean, service great. We ordered two Burgers which were both very good. My daughter ordered prawn pasta, but there were only about 5 prawns on a mound of pasta. She said it was tasty so we asked for more prawns - but...

Where do I start. To be fair we ordered garlic mushrooms to share as a starter. They were beautiful. That’s when it stopped. We both ordered wings and ribs combo. How disappointed we were. The ribs were boiled and fatty. With a small amount of...

Went to this restaurant on a Saturday evening. Ordered a starter and main meal. The main came down before the starter and the waiter said ‘would you like the starter with the main meal’ of course we said no. When we eventually got our main,...

On our Belfast vacation, this was by far our best food experience. It’s a perfect place for a date night, as there are comfortable booths. I’m a vegetarian and there was a reasonable selection. It’s hard to pull off a good vegetarian burger in a...

Another lovely takeaway meal in lockdown. Great portion sizes and delicious desserts. As always great polite service from the staff too. Many thanks 😊

Ordered a delivery via justeat. The food was okay but just not worth the restaurant level price tag.

When I was last year during eat out to help out in August I didn’t think it was as good as usual. However on this occasion it was back to excellent! I had the ribs and chicken again which is my favourite choice. The portions...

I was very surprised that I was able to make a reservation for four people when I enquired one day before Sunday 30th August as this was a holiday weekend but it became apparent why when we attended at the Restaurant. Arriving at approx 7:30pm...

We had our second visit to Porkys and weren't disappointed. The food is very tasty with a great choice of menu. Staff are all wearing masks. Sanitizer available at the entrance. Well organised. We'll be back.

On entering the premises there was a warm welcome and the service was attentive and good to begin with, as the meal was progressing the service became slow - certainly whilst waiting for the final (dessert) course. The food was okay - nothing special. The...

Nothing to write home about. Having read trip advisor, where porkys got pretty good reviews we though we would give it a try while on our weekend away to bangor. Nice premises, the staff were brilliant but to be honest the food was just average.

Three of us went to Porky's for an evening meal. Food was delicious, excellent service from friendly staff. We will come back soon. Thank you.

We had a stay in Bangor, and I booked Porkies in advance ( due to Covid 19). It was our first visit and I hope to return again! On arrival, we were taken to our seats - we are a party of 5, including 3...

Our first time eating out anywhere since Lockdown as a family of five.... To say I wasn’t keen on eating out was an understatement but after spending a few hours wandering around Bangor, everyone was starving and considering the excellent reviews on Tripadvisor, we decided...

I hadn’t even heard of this place until it was suggested by a friend. We booked a table for mid afternoon when it was less busy. The menu was extensive and the staff were all very helpful, attentive and friendly. The food was amazing! I...

After lockdown the food is better than ever. Social distancing taken v seriously thank goodness. Food and service excellent as always 😀

Just been here for dinner.there was 10 people in r party.nothing was to much trouble the waitreses r so friendly.and the food was amazing.

Love love love!!! The burgers are amazing. Plenty to choose from on the menu. They would have good drink promos on beer etc.

This was my first time in Porky's and I wasn't disappointed. I had the Pit burger with chunky chips and it was the best burger i've tasted in a long time. Good service, quick and efficient and reasonably priced. Would definitely pay a visit again....

Finally tried porky's after it being recommended loads of time to us. In short the food was not too bad at all, but nothing to write home about. The staff were nice, the service however was painfully slow. Were in for over an hour and...

Have to say all the staff at Porky’s were extremely attentive and made sure we were well looked after. All the food was lovely and well presented. The cocktails weren’t great and the bill was a little bit too much tbh

I was not impressed with this restaurant. Not only do they serve high fat food, but when I ask if they have any low fat alternative on offer, they delete my comments and block me from Facebook. I would not recommend this restaurant.
