Rib Aroma in Antrim

Made a family First visit here yesterday Sunday.We had booked a table for 7 people's and the member of staff seemed to know nothing about it Nothing was set up or ready and when we arrived at 15.00 hrs the restaurant was only 3 tables occupied.Noticed few tables were dirty unclean and some blinds shut tight which made the place very dark with the poor lighting we all kept our costs on as no heating was on!!!! Things that didn't please....cutlery short on table..some drinks served wrong...took One full hour before food arrived and it was all simple dishes my side order was delivered to me while I waited 5mins for the main. Food not great and family all disappointed have had better food in McDonalds and better. Service. Look Antrim needs business and a turnover to keep going but all I can say to the lady who owns this Pull up the service and food before you SHUT UP!!! No wonder you have 3 rating for scores on doors. I'm encouraged how to contact F S A to notify them this should be unrated!!!

I am returning tonite for the 2nd time since the reopening & under the wings of new chef michael. Cosy atmosphere. Excellent food. Very attentive staff. Food was delivered to our expectations & chef was very acommodating to our requests. Ideally situated with ample parking. Easy access for anyone with limited mobility. Parking free from 6pm with a very low cost of 10p per hour if visiting morning or afternoons. Would def recommend you give here a try since re-opening. Looking forward to returning this evening.

Shared a rack of ribs with smokey BBQ sauce and some fries and onions. Nothing too fancy but enjoyed it ok

Love this place in antrim for food. The service and atmosphere is always great. The staff are very attentive and making sure you are always ok and have enough drinks etc. My son who is a fussy eater also loves it here. The menu has a good variety and always something to suit everyone. The family deal they do during the week is good value!

I ordered the 8oz salmon fillet. When it eventually arrived it was so small. The sauce was sickly sweet. Definitely false advertising!!!!

I was more than happy with my experience here. I had some time to kill in the area and this was close to where I needed to be. It was 4:00 on a Friday and the place was more or less empty. The music was mildly annoying, as they had MTV playing on their wall sized tv, but I don't listen to mainstream music and I am used to not liking anything. LOL. I ordered a pint of Coke, a bowl of soup, and the peppered chicken stack. The soup was very good and I destroyed it fairly quickly. Another piece of bread would have been nice with it, but whatever. However, I should have just skipped the soup anyway. My entree was HUGE! Two nice sized chicken breasts on top of a mound of mashed potatoes, with another mound of onion strings on top, all covered with pepper sauce. I was uncomfortably full afterwards! (No one to blame but myself for that!) My dinner came to about £18, which I think is fair. If I am in the area again, I wold have no problem going back.

Well worth avoiding..... Practically empty when we entered, now there was a clue!, apart from four staff, two "ladies" and some kids watching a large TV. Although the place was 95% empty the waitress seated us next to a booth containing two "ladies" who burped, swore and made / took phone calls throughout the meal, but this appeared to be acceptable behaviour from patrons who were obviously regulars. TVs were on quite loud so the kids were entertained but if I had wanted to watch the Simpsons on maximum volume I could have done it at home and not whilst having a meal and trying to hold a conversation. Food was not bad, nor was the service, but overpriced given the atmosphere or lack of one, loud TV and manners (or lack thereof) of the only other patrons. The Niche and Judges were predecessors of Rib Aroma, were not bad places and its a shame they did not survive, hopefully this place will close soon and get replaced by a more professional outfit. I will not be going back, more than happy to take my custom else where. My recommendation for food? try anything served at the "Top of The Town" or "The Furama" or go hungry.......
