Robert Stewarts in Lisburn

Such an incredible and wholesome Pub. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing place, staff are very helpful and friendly food especially the Sunday roast is out of this world

Food was good, but a small bowl of plain vegetable soup costing the same price as as Prawn linguine or chicken wings is a lot on the Sunday menu.

Great Guinness and lovely beer garden and out side spaces.

I absolutely love this place. Great food and a friendly atmosphere with plenty of parking.

Great food friendly staff all in all a pleasurable experience

Had fish and chips, really nice, but the dessert was so yummy. Staff were very friendly and effecient. Wouls definitely go back.

Second time visiting here in the last couple of months, and it's really not bad at all. Only criticism is that the menu could be more varied. The beef croquettes for starter are great, and I had the madras chicken curry which was nice, and a steak sandwich the second time , this was also great. Will be back again

Good food, pleasant friendly staff.

Incredible food and lovely old decor

Awesome food. Brilliant atmosphere. Loved everything!

Great little beer garden. We walked from Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park

Food was absolutely beautiful in this place and the service was fantastic. Went for the 3 course Sunday roast and did not disappoint.

Great service and lovely food as usual.

Just discovered the new beer Garden, perfect for families of young kids. Pizza, wings, beer for the grown ups and games for the kids. Can't wait to go back

Lovely pub, nice food. Could do with a nice IPA on draught.

We usually love this wee spot for great pub food and usually, good service. However, we went for a post wedding celebration with 19 family and friends this week. During lunch a waitress knocked a full drink all down my back and lower half, drenching me. I jumped up in shock to run to the bathroom in an attempt to dry myself. Said waitress never once followed me in to see if I was okay, to offer towels, or to offer any level of courtesy help to dry the soaked dress. There was no inquiry if the garment was damaged (it was a brand new dress) or any level of concern. When I returned to my table, the soaked chair was still at the table which I had to remove myself. I got a feeble sorry a few minutes later but again, no concern or customer service to see if I was okay or even comfortable sitting in a soaking dress (i wasnt!) . While accidents can and do happen, I was appalled by this said waitresses lack of concern or customer service. Everyone else noticed it too- it waw an abysmal experience and off putting to everyone in the room for a return to this restaurant based on the poor experience and service received!!

Yesterday about 20 of us booked a couple of tables intending to chill out after our daughters wedding the day before, we were looked after by a couple of waitresses, a blonde lady was very smiley and nice as is expected in the hospitality business but the other lady was the opposite, rushing and a face on her like a Lurgan spade, this lady bumped in our daughter with a tray drinks soaking the back of her dress, we all make mistakes but it's how it's handled after words, "sorry about that" and that's were it ended, I could suggest a number of things that could of plightly helped the situation but this lady went on about her business as if nothing happened! This is the first time I've ever wrote a negative review in my life, I don't blame the whole establishment for the errors of one person. Thank you. 16.07. 2024

Lovely quirky place, food good and plenty of it. Great outdoor beer garden at the back and a few picnic tables around outside for the smokers.

The food was wonderful, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was lovely. We both had the beer battered fish and chips, and it exceeded expectations. The fish was cooked perfectly (taste of the sea) encased in a crunchy light local beer batter and the chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The portions were substantial, and we couldn't finish everything. Not for want of trying. A big shout out to the service team. All of them (behind the bar, front of house and kitchen) were very friendly and made us feel right at home. Quick, efficient and so kind to the dog - attentive without being pushy. The atmosphere was relaxed. The pub is decorated in a traditional style but with a sense of humour (an old security gate now a trellis for plants), and it has a warm and inviting atmosphere. Check the beer garden out back, perfect for a sunny day, and welcoming to dogs on a lead. Also substantial parking at the back. Overall, we had a lovely experience at Bob Stewart's. The food was perfect, the service team were exceptional, and the atmosphere was lovely. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great pub meal in Belfast. The big surprise was getting the bill settled by Paul the owner. We don't know him but he made our day. Thanks from the couple (two fish) with the deaf border collie.

Very expensive for drinks compared to other places. Nice setup in the beer garden.

Exceptional I can’t believe this was our first time at this lovely bar/restaurant. It’s some h character and history all over the building with it being the oldest pub in Belfast. But aside from the venue itself the staff and food was absolutely amazing. Their beer garden is fantastic with lots for kids to play with also. We will definitely be back

Probably over a year since I last dined at Bob's. After checking the reviews, I was perturbed by the number of less favourable recent ones. but I have to say honestly that I couldn't fault the experience with six of us for Sunday lunch. The food was delicious - mine was the sirloin of beef, which was a generous size, cooked perfectly & very little fat. Staff were professional & attentive but not overbearing. They certainly were neither offhand nor overly familiar (as in some other establishments). Since the last time, it seems to have been extended to the left as you drive in with a sizeable covered outdoor "beer garden". I never give five stars, as I always look for the downside: my only minor gripe in this case (because I'm a miser) is the cost @ £27 for two courses, but have to say with the sirloin, it probably was pretty decent value!

We had Sunday lunch here this week and I'm still thinking about the roast lamb. All the vegetables were cooked to perfection. Sticky toffee pudding and raspberry frangipane desserts were delicious. Lovely staff, great atmosphere. It was busy so we were glad we booked online. Can't wait to go back.

Had a lovely lunch. Lovely place. Food was great and large portions . Staff Very pleasant

Really disappointing. A beautiful Summer evening, a sunny spot to the rear, but most of the space is now a car park. The outside tables are beside the busy road. We were told food could not be served outside, which was unbelievable, to be honest. We had to sit inside, in a dark space. Food very mediocre. Dirty glass. Won't be back.

What was once an outstanding country gastro pub has been ruined by the new owners. The previous publican had spent years establishing a proper relaxing pub with a fantastic athmosphere and the transformation now is heartbreaking. It is an overpriced place for the trendy set. The staff are condesending, the drink and food is expensive, the toilets are dirty, there's prams and children in the bar...... I could go on. Surfice to say, sadly we won't be back.

Good food & service. Nice outdoor area now as well where you can get pizza & loaded fries. Minus point that it was previously dog friendly however no longer is

First time going in here today and it was unreal fish and chips were beautiful with lovely staff..will defo be back

Food was amazing and cocktails too. Lovely beer garden 👌.

Food was lovely, lovely and cosy old fashioned pub definitely will be back.

Lovely staff and surprisingly tasty food. Sunday lunch perhaps a touch expensive, but everything is these days and the portions for the chicken lunch were very generous...

Had Caesar salad, and fish and chips both were lovely, defo recommend

Went in for Sunday lunch and was really disappointed with it. It wasn’t cheap so definitely expected better quality. Meat was too tough could barely cut it, mash too salty and gravy had no taste. Not often I leave a review but feel like it was a waste of money. Pub is nice for a pint but wouldn’t be back for food

Superb meal deal. This place is well worth a visit. Great food, great vake and professional courteous staff

Called in for lunch today as we were passing my wife and grandson we both had the scampi and chips , not good … scampi was small and chips full of crispy end bits not chips. We have been here a few times together and as a family never cheap but the food was good …… not this lunch time not sure why it was so poor but didn’t stay for desert . I think will try somewhere else for a while.

Booked a table for Saturday afternoon. We were shown to a table in the main bar area not the restaurant. Had to call a waitress after 5 minutes to order a drink, which I ordered a small wine and they charged me for a large. I chose the Madras curry which looked and tasted like a mild curry soup, it was terrible. We were seated into the main bar at the window overlooking a small outdoor area at the front and people seemed curious about what we were eating. Also being such a great day people seemed to be out in large numbers, thinking the beer garden was open but it is not. With that they were passing through the bar to get to the sports bar and past our table. They were so close to our table I had to move my glass as it was nearly knocked over. Then when there were no seats or standing room in sports bar back they came again. One man even asked what I was eating and said he had never had a Madras that looked like that. Would not recommend this bar/ restaurant to anyone.

Had Sunday lunch in April 24. Food was very tasty and hot, large portions. The service was friendly, attentive and efficient. The bar is warm with nice music and great atmosphere.

This is the second time I've gone with my family to have dinner at this pub, great place, great staff and the food is really delicious, but there aren't many vegan options and the second time we went, the only vegan option was very spicy, unfortunately I couldn't eat it .

We had an absolutely delicious lunch for two. The ervice was very friendly and the restaurant was cosy with lots of character.

We just popped in for a pint of Guinness and a bite of lunch. I has the Steak and Guinness pie which was absolutely scrumptious. Served with mashed potato, carrot, parsnip and broccoli for £13, it was amazing value.

Beautiful bar let down by terrible food. Worst meal I've had in a long time and it's far from cheap. Such a shame.

Great place for a bite to eat. The food was very tasty. Nice old building with plenty of old items to give you a look at what it would have been like many years ago. Friendly staff and quick service. There is a restaurant or you can go into the bar for a drink.

Amazing food, excellent service. Nice n toasty warm while we dined. Recommended

Amazing lunch recommend trying it as soon as possible!!!

Really good food and atmosphere. Thankfully children are allowed now. Will be back.

Staff outstanding, and a wee gem of a place.

Best chicken burger Ive ever eaten. Flame grilled and had a tiny hint of spice to it, just the way I like it The chips were crispy and a plenty. The atmosphere was that of an old Irish pub (400 year old) which gives it a very cosy feel and the staff were super friendly. We will be back soon to try more of the menu. Booking recommended.

Used to love this place but sadly no longer dog friendly. Unfortunately won’t be back due to this as was always the perfect place to visit after a walk

1st time here fantastic food with great portions and at a reasonable price.

Delicious food. Lovely place to chill after a long walk. Homely fire. Staff really helpful and friendly.

First visit fabulous food great atmosphere definitely go again

The most basic of greasy Pub Grub at restaurant prices. Amazed at the positive reviews.

Teach tábhairne iontach ar fad. Chaith muid an oíche ag diúgadh piontaí!

expensive. Didn't like our experience, won't be back in a hurry.

Ordered soup and sandwich. Soup was freezing sandwich too spicy to eat ordered desert never received it. Not even an apology can I heat your soup. Sorry your sandwich too spicy spent £30 had to get lunch somewhere else. So disappointed

Very friendly, always full of life, every corner is its own snug, and there's a fire. Can't get better. The whole experience is much improved now after a change in management!

Nice afternoon spent there Food was good and good service

Great place food brilliant easy parking. Recommended mid week not so busy you can hear your conversation!

Very disappointed and annoyed, as tonight I walked my dog 45 minutes and decided to call in for a pint before going home. As I sat down in the small front bar (no food was being served) a member of staff approached me and told me I had to sit outside as they are no longer dog friendly. I have had my dog and been with other friends and family in the bar with our dogs on several occasions and never had anything said. As a local resident I am very disappointed with this experience and won't be back.

Old style country pub/ restaurant. Very welcoming. Great food and service.

Second time here! Amazing old pub with great atmosphere, friendly staff, reasonably priced and lovely home cooked food! A new favourite

Limited menu and food and drink were on the expensive side very good service and cosy atmosphere

Nice food....long wait....noisy atmosphere...quite expensive for basically what is pub grub but quality is good and it has history.

I actually really wanted to love my visit to Bob's, as it's almost my local. Been before and eaten inside and attended events outside, but this is my first review. The food, nachos then steak sandwich, were grand but nowhere near the best I've had recently. The nachos were actually good, but the steak sandwich was a disappointment. Comes with a weird onion relish and the actual cut of meat wasn't great compared to similarly priced meals around Lisburn/Hillsborough/Belfast. The highlight was the chips which were great, added a portion of garlic butter which also made them even better - but should be included in the price but wasn't. Will I be back? Probably not, which is really disappointing.

A great Guinness food was as good

Great food and vibes. Had the fish and it was well cooked, my cousin had the roast and we cleared our plates. 2 courses for £25 + drinks

Amazing food and service. If you’re driving, go for the Guinness 0.0, it is really good. There’s a special menu at lunch with good prices. The sausage with mashed potatoes is quite delicious.

Great food, cold beer, friendly service

Quaint, characterful, and good food at fair prices. It's a very old pub, out of town, and with free parking.

Veggie option is poor Service is slow Other than that what can I say

Lovely place good food and good place.

Great food and friendly staff. It's great to be able to go here now that children are welcome. The food is excellent

Crackin wee spot. 400 years old. Oldest pub in Belfast. My first time in it. We went to the steak night on a Tuesday. Have to say was well impressed with everything. Food service atmosphere. I was expecting it to be a wee bit snobby n we were just down from doing divis mountain so weren't exactly dressed to impress lol. Was very relaxed and welcoming. Maybe not the cheapest but not overly expensive and you really do get what you pay for in here. Highly recommend

A place worth visiting service was excellent the staff were pleasant and paid attention to their tables. The food was amazing party of 6 and 2 kiddies and everyone enjoyed. Highly recommend here

A fantastic Sunday lunch, the best banoffee I have ever had!

Loved it. Nice wee pub. Lovely food. Will be back. Edit- came back. Even better. New favourite place to eat. Further edit - best steak I've had

Nice place for food and drinks with live music and outdoor beer garden

We've had very enjoyable lunches and dinners here previously but it was poor on this occasion. My wife's sea bass had little taste whilst the steak in my steak sandwich seemed to have been cooked multiple ways; between medium rare and well done. Some mouthfuls were unchewable. We were in and out in 35 minutes. I did tell the staff member it wasn't good and she said she would tell the kitchen. A waste of £50. Staff lovely though and it's very characterful inside.

Excellent food. Excellent service.. 👍

Wasn't sure what to think before going here given some negative reviews, however I loved it. I went with three friends for lunch recently and had an excellent time. We all enjoyed our food and drinks and had a great time. It is a little on the pricey side but that wouldn't be an issue for me personally. Good location with a sizeable car park at the back. Pub itself is dripping with character and the staff are very friendly. I will be back. Highly recommended! Update: I have since returned twice. Both subsequent visits were first class. I’d particularly recommend the steak night deal, which is on every Monday and Tuesday. A fantastic spot which has established itself as my favourite place locally for dinner. Exceptional!

A fantastic experience. Food excellent. The waitress was very attentive and knowledgable. Will definitely return. Would recommend a visit.

Poor selection of cocktails not very helpful

Really enjoyed my meal and drinks here, great atmosphere and staff are welcoming and friendly. Food was unbelievably tasty with excellent portion sizes. I will definitely be back, thank you

Beautiful beer garden in the summer out the back of this historic pub. We popped in for a pint whilst walking along the towpath from Lisburn to Belfast and weren't disappointed. Got a nice beer from a Belfast brewery and enjoyed in the sun. Cornhole available to play too and there are freshly baked pizzas available. Great place to check out

Booked a last-minute Sunday lunch date. Food was unbelievable as always. Our servers were attentive & never let our glasses become empty. Food was top-notch, fresh & extremely filling. 2 course £25 & 3 courses £30.

I enjoyed my food however some of the staff's poor service let the meal down. We had missing items in our meal. Had to ask a few times for water and they tried to clear our table before we were finished.

Had a beautiful lunch here with a group of friends. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal and the girls who served us were lovely and very polite and friendly

Just had drinks, staff lovely with nice atmosphere to pub and beer garden.

Great local on a nice day, pizza was great!

Beautiful traditional bar with superior service, food and drinks.

Have not been here for years. Had a very pleasant afternoon.

Had lunch here, totally disappointed as the beef stripes were chunks & raw. Couldn't cut them,chew them. Definitely won't recommend & won't be back.

Always a favorite. The food is amazing. Its a little pricey but worth it for the quality.

Toller Pub, leckeres Essen, tolles Ambiente

Amazing little spot food was amazing! Would highly suggest this to anyone. Its me and the mrs new spot and i walk my wee baby up on a sunny day in his pram to get a pint in the beautiful garden and walk back. One of the best spots about!

Fantastic pub but recently has become very pricey for a pint (more so than average increases elsewhere)

Hidden gem! I have been to Bobs on different occasions, love the events that they have at Christmas time and Halloween - kids also enjoy it & always ask to go back. Family friendly, staff are always very helpful 👍 Food is delicious with good size portions and great choice for on the kids menu. Always a lovely atmosphere at Bobs. I would highly recommend!

Had dinner here recently with friends. Food was absolutley delicious, Very chilled atmosphere. Staff where extremely friendly and accomodating. Cannot reccommend this place enough. Will definitely be back.

Had a lovely lunch here, very friendly staff
