The bar lounge felt dated and there were many young adolescent drinking. To make matters worse the live singer was too loud and drowned out our dining. The food itself was undercooked and nothing special. On leaving we were greeted to a fight in the car park between two young men one who was clearly drunk. I could not recommend unless the management get proper professional staff and bouncers in there.

Great service, great food and great value for money all presented well and a good menu choice would highly recommend. The staff are very friendly and helpful and we have visited here a few times and the food is always very consistent we had the 8hr slow cooked braised roast beef and the sticky chilly chicken both where delicious and the milk shakes are lovely huge and only £4 . The restaurant itself is very well decorated and spotlessly clean.

Just took the family out for dinner. Beautiful restaurant, very clean and well lit. Fast customer service but most importantly the food was excellent. The starters were very big and worth the money. Mains were also a good size. We paid £16 for 2 courses and it was well worth it. Only 1 of our party finished their meal. Live music was starting as we were leaving. All in all a great place to dine.

Went here this afternoon for a meal first time. Drinks we ordered jug of orange juice. It came full of ice looked like coloured water, very little orange in it. Place felt cold we ordered soup to start X2 one chilly sticky chicken, one cock and bull, chicken and steak small. Soup came good size bowls but it was cold. We had to send back it returned hot but vegetables hard, raw carrots and raw celery. Very disappointing. Mains came, my chilly chicken was good my wife's chicken and steak fair. Asked for steak to be very well done but some pink bits in steak also no steak knife Staff need more training and pay more attention to detail. Very disappointing definitely will not be returning.

Always pleased to return here and, gosh, this time it had been far too long! I was dizzy with anticipation about the refurb, especially seeing the upgraded ladies' loos. At last, at last the 80s look has gone. All good. During the Olympics, we found ourselves watching a Rugby League match on the bar screen which was rather odd, we thought. We started with the chowder which was absolutely delicious and full of many different ingredients. We loved the very dark wheaten bread that came with it. My main was beef shortrib. This was pretty good, although more sauce would have gone down well. My husband said something similar about his lamb dish. The service was excellent. The waiter was polite and extremely pleasant. Wine by the glass comes in mini bottles. Friends had recommended dirty fries which aren't on the current menu. This wasn't a problem and we took home the very tasty dirty fries we couldn't manage. A pleasant dinner. The refurb gets rid of the sports bar feel, but I am not convinced Ruby has found her best look quite yet.

We used to visit Rubys on a fairly regular basis but the standard of food dropped and it was becoming more of a “Lads” bar with noisy football supporters at the bar watching a number of TV screens. Unknown to us the owners carried out an extensive refurb to the layout interior and now have a very smart dining room with much better bar area and a spacious outside sun area. We decided to give it another go and can say the food was very good indeed. The staff very welcoming and attentive without being in your face. Will certainly be back, well done the owners!

Finally decided to try Ruby’s based on past reviews.....shame we didn’t get the same. Entering the bar I was hit with a smell of urine which was bad..until I opened the second set of double doors that lead to the bar. I couldn’t get through the doors quick enough it smelt as though I was standing in the foulest smelling toilets ever, not a great start especially when you have booked for food. Once we picked our table we were seated only a matter of minutes when a lovely waitress came to take our drink orders and give us menus. We we placed our food order and didn’t have to wait long until it was served. Then we realised why it was so quick, we had turkey & ham, which came with no consistency in the portions of the slices of meat, some were thick, some were thin, some of us had more slices of meat than others, the mashed potatoes had a skin around around them and were a weird shape as if they had been stored in a plastic bag then zapped in the microwave, then just slipped out of the bag onto the plate, the roast potatoes were small and very dry, the vegetables what can I say were just about cooked. To make things better we asked for gravy that unfortunately was as bland as the rest of the meal. Another one of our party had the lasagne which went back as full as it came, as it was way to dry to eat. We also couldn’t have more of the cocktails we wanted as they ran out of strawberry liqueur. On a good note the staff are friendly and helpful, but not sure if we would try again.

Ruby’s has come on leaps and bounds recently. Just outside the town centre of Larne, there is plenty of parking. They are adding more and more deals during the week and they are great value. They now have a ‘Beat the Clock’ menu and a BOGOF offer from 12pm to 5pm. Food is great and good quality. Only improvement I would suggest is the entrance to the bar passes the toilets and there is a slight odour. But in the bar and restaurant area everything is CLEAN and tidy and that’s what matters most.

My daughter and I were very excited to be spending one of our holiday evenings at this good eaterie. However, we were surprised to find the whole establishment seems to have undergone a refurb that has created a bar atmosphere throughout. Indeed, we found ourselves in the old bar area to eat. The tables were bare and the chairs not padded. This is a dark place, and the dark décor made it more so. Noise reverberated around the bar as there are no soft furnishings to absorb the sound while dining. The menu seemed reduced from our last visit. We were disappointed there was no seafood chowder on the starters. However the brie was absolutely delicious. As a main course we both opted for the seabass as this had been a standout dish on previous visits. Sadly, this was not the case on this occasion. The seabass was on a bed of champ with some big prawns around it. The sauce was also a light colour. The whole dish lacked any vavavoom of any description. It was very bland. What a disappointment. We shared a lovely brownie with ice-cream to finish and our bill was under £40 with three drinks. A trip to the loo confirmed my suspicion that the makeover had not extended to the toilets. Please, please do something about this! The loos are as they were in the 80s. Please, please modernise!! If you are to attract a younger clientele at the weekends you may find that diners may be looking for a refuge somewhere quieter, with more comfortable surroundings. We could see the food is good, despite our unfortunate main courses this evening. Steak night is also a great idea. However, we might struggle to imagine people taking afternoon tea in this new environment. I really hope this place can work as I am a great supporter of all things Larne. The staff were delightfully friendly and helpful, so well done on good recruitment. I really hope this bar/restaurant can do well in the future, but, as a TA user with all the reviews I have written, I feel compelled to report back.

walking into this place the first thing you notice is the immense smell of pee coming from the mens toilets, that's nice when you are coming in for a meal. We had booked for a table for 10 for a birthday and we walked in and our table was in the middle of the bar which had extremely loud music playing and was absolutely Baltic cold. The table had knives and forks and a glass each, no flowers or anything nice. We actually thought we had come into the wrong area. Very uninviting, cold and bare. the chairs were hard metal, and very uncomfortable. we had to actually ask for the music to be turned down as it was so loud we couldn't hear each other, and we were the only people in so Im not sure why it had to be so loud. we had given them a list of what everyone wanted the day before, as instructed because as they said " then we know what everyone wants and it will be quicker", so when they brought out a dish that none of us had ordered, chicken stir fry with noodles, when we told them it was not ordered by any of us ( remember they had the list in black and white so how do you get it so wrong), they took it away. They brought out a few more meals, one plate at a time I might add, obviously a plate in each hand is never heard off in here), one of which was meant to be a vegetarian stir fry with noodles. A few minutes after starting their meal, the vegetarian in our party discovered that there was in fact chicken in the meal so they had taken it back to the kitchen only to bring it out again even though they were told it was wrong, and give it to a vegetarian. The other meals were brought out one at a time. So, half our party were half way through their meal while the rest of us hadn't even been served yet. My meal came out on a freezing cold plate, and I waited 10 full minutes before my side dish arrived. When I cut into my steak it was freezing in the middle and so rare it was purple, so I sent it back, and when it came out again, it was very nice actually. So, dessert came, and we put our orders in and it took 20 minutes for a piece of cheesecake to be sliced and out on a plate. !!!!!! Totally disgusted with the whole experience. £200 wasted. Needless to say that I and none of my party will ever go here again. I cant believe its still open to be honest. All these good reviews must be family members. Avoid this place - go to the Curran Court instead.

I really like Ruby's but the toilets really need a full makeover...they are the same dodgy doors and cramped cuticles that have been here for years. I think a lot of people judge a place by how the toilets look and these let the place down bigtime. Otherwise the food, decor, atmosphere and staff, are fantastic.

Went for a family meal today. My daughter had ribs which were still raw in tgw middle. All chips were hard in the middle and looked like they had been cooked 15 times over. I had a curry but it was like bland stock. Granted the curry and ribs was taken off the bill when we complained but its still a disappointment as that was our afternoon out on a big letdown.

We called into Rubys on Saturday to have a few drinks and a meal. The service was excellent as was the food and drink. The down side was the building was freezing, especially in the bar and toilet areas. Not helped by the fact the hot water in both sets of toilets was freezing. This area also has a strong smell lingering. It's a shame to see this place in such a state. As I've had some great meals and nights out there over the years.

I'd heard a lot of great things about Ruby's, so decided to try it out with my friends. We had a meal, the food was fine but the menu was very similar to another place in the town that we have been to and not half as good! After dinner we decided to try some of their cocktails off their new cocktail list and were very disappointed. I had a gin bramble and it might as well have been gin and lemonade, such a simple, nice cocktail made completely wrong. We could have overlooked these things if the customer service was good but frankly the staff were unwelcoming. Apparently they had a new bar man, which was very apparent as he seemed lost along with his manners.

After last weekends disastrous visit to another local restaurant We decided to try Ruby's and we are glad we did !! We were shown promptly to a table in less than a minute (My Mum is still in wheelchair)Drinks order was taken and arrived promptly, My Mum is a vegetarian and is careful what she eats and our waitress could not have been more helpful Going to the kitchen to check what was in dishes 10/10 for customer service there Food order taken and it arrived a short time later It was all the things that the previous weekends offerings were not Portion sizes were good, food was hot and tasty! Chips and Garlic cubes were how they should be Crisp on the outside and succulent on the inside The best things was the Flavours! EVERYTHING and I mean Everything tasted as it should and flavours had only been added to rather than been obscured or hidden by the addition of copious spices and condiments whilst cooking Observation for Rubys : It is a "little" loud in there at the weekend and maybe a bit more Vegetarian on the menu would be more enticing Overall a 9 and half out of ten Thanks for the recommendation Damian

Both meals were delicious and came with generous portions. I had the chocolate and hazelnut cheesecake which was good too and came in a large portion. Service from the staff was excellent and the bill was in line with other places we would eat. The entertainment was provided by 'This Way Up' who were excellent and had the place bouncing. Thoroughly enjoyed the night and will be back.

First visit to Ruby's (formerly the Kiln) was for a Christmas lunch with friends. I had the two course menu with turkey, followed by apple crumble and custard. The food was of good standard, hot and the portion size was generous. It was all reasonably priced. The interior could do with a revamp, with the exception of new seat covers, it still felt similar to the Kiln in the 80s. It has good parking at the door. To me it had the feel of a bar rather than a restaurant, but that's probably because you can see through to the bar. It does give the place a spacious atmosphere.

Called today for lunch. Waitress was very prompt in serving us our drinks and taking food order. Food came out nicely presented and hot. Was lovely, couldn't fault it at all. Wasn't bad value either, will be back

I ate here last night for steak night (a Thursday night) and the food was great! They do an offer on a 10z sirloin + a side + a drink for £10 or a few others like 10oz ribeye + ribs + a side + a drink for £17.50 etc although note that the drinks are 250ml glass bottles.Orders were taken quickly and drinks were served quickly but the food did take a while to come out (about 40-45 minutes when there was only 3 other tables in the place) which was a bit of a let down but the food was worth the wait when we got it. I ordered my steak medium rare and it was cooked nicely. I got the garlic mash and chilli bites too and they were really nice too. I'll definitely be back again!

Met a friend for lunch and was absolulty appalled at my meal. Chips were hard as bricks like cooked 3/4 times and steak was tuff as ole boots. I know it only a bar but the meal was of very poor quality

This is our third time at Ruby's but it has been over a year since last visit. The other family who went with us are regulars. Menu is brilliant with super choice. Food was excellent quality and great value. Really tasty.There were 6 of us - 2 kids and 4 adults. We shared 3 starters to share which was ample for all - Garlic Bread, Garlic Mushroom and Chicken Wings. We then ordered a variety of mains including Steak, Chicken Burgers and Beefburger. The kids ordered goujons and lasagne with chips - at £4.50 great kids value. All finished off with a selection of sides. Instead of desserts we ordered a selection of cocktails which are on special offer after 8pm on a Friday. An Irish Coffee was also ordered. Nice choice of beer and wine. Staff are brilliant - helpful and always smiling despite being very busy. Great spot - we should go more often. Thanks to all the team.

My family and I have dined in Ruby's on several occasions and every time we are impressed.The menu is varied and has lots of choice. This time I tried their curry and it was amazing! My husband had the beef and bird which looked fantastic and he loved it. Kids meals where plentiful and tasty.Staff as always where friendly and very attentive and the restaurant and bar always has a great feel about it with a great atmosphere. We will be back again soon. Well done Ruby's! :-)

My wife and I were given a treat by a family member to have a meal at Ruby's Bar Grill, booked for New Years Day.Very well furnished and a nice relaxed atmosphere to either dine at or for a drink in the bar.The service was very good as I was looking for a "Lunchtime special" that wasn't on the menu list. The waitress went away and checked with the chef who accommodated me as near as he could to the dish that I was interested in. The staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs and couldn't do enough for us, nothing was a bother to the girls who served us well done.This was the first meal I had at Ruby's and it was lovely. Would I go back ..? Yes ... Would I recommend it to family an friends ? ..Absolutely.Definitely great value for money, plus the added option of having a nice drink in the bar with large screen TVs.Many thanks for an enjoyable meal and stay.

When I revisited my home town of Larne this year I took a Flamenco Show over to perform there . Each night we visited Ruby's where we were treated like royalty , thank you to all the owners and staff there . The live music was great even managing to get our Spanish singers , guitarist and percussionist up with them . One night they kept their kitchen open for the gang to eat well after hours , and the food was excellent . We really appreciated everything they did for us , and we look forward to returning on our next visit .

Christmas night out. Food was delicious and plentiful. Staff were fast and friendly. Not a single gripe from a group of 10. Live entertainment was spot on. A great night all round!

We called in about two weeks ago and to say we were welcomed was an understatement! I have never been in a restaurant where the staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely wonderful and I won't mention the large wedges of Pavlova - delicious. Also thank you for the 2 glasses - were really appreciated! And finally can I say that if I didn't live over 50 miles away (in Dromore, Co Down) I'd be a very regular patron. - BUT I WILL BE BACK!

I have dined here a few time before I wanted to review about it. By holy good god it's fantastic I can't fault it the young lady that looks after the restaurant is doing a great job as are all staff, I even got a chance to chat with the head chef what a gentleman and a man of talent. I appreciate all this bar is bringing to or small town and am looking forward too all they have too offer in the future. Keep it up Rubys

We dined at Ruby's on a Saturday night, the fact that there were only two other tables occupied hinted at its decline in popularity. We were disappointed with the quality of food and it's presentation. Service was however good so my rating is average. I wouldnt return.

Went for a girlie lunch on friday afternoon. The place was not busy but it took well over 30 minutes to get our food out. Once we got the food, 2 of the 3 meals were just about ok and the third was inedible. We sent it back and got offered a replacement but it was so awful my friend declined the offer and just had her drink. The waitress was great and tried to offer cake etc and was helpful but the food was awful.

A great selection of traybakes a a good cup of tea. The staff are great as well. It's a limited seating café so later afternoon was easier to get a seat than peak lunchtime. I wish I had taken a pic of my cookie pie with candy cane on top. So sweet, I couldn't finish it. Rare for me..

Carriages Bistro, Larne 4th August 2024 There are a number of conflicting reviews about this place. When we ate there, the previously-mentioned problems were very much in evidence. The service was lackadaisical, with waitresses too busy exchanging local gossip to pay attention to guests. At the end of our meal, I had to stand up and find a waitress in order to pay my bill. (We’d finished our meal 10 minutes earlier). The food: I had Scampi and “creamed potato”. Creamed potatoes were mentioned before in this review site. Mine were barely warm, and lumpy. I have known how to make creamed potatoes since I was 10 years old. It’s hard to believe that anyone on the island of Ireland does not know how to prepare this simple potato dish. I asked for carrots and peas as my vegetables. The carrots were at room temperature. The peas were tinned processed peas – almost unheard of in this day and age. They reminded me of school lunches in the ‘60s. I must say, however, that my scampi was delicious. I’ve seen some good and bad reviews of this place – an equal balance between hit and miss. Our night was a miss. Maybe a manager or a team leader was missing, or (and) maybe a head chef was missing. Poor service; poor food standard.

We recently visited Taste Coffee and Restaurant in Larne, and it was such a fantastic experience that we completely forgot to take pictures! Thankfully, I found some on their Facebook page, but they hardly do justice to how great this place is. The food was incredible, with so many delicious options to choose from. Everything we tried was bursting with flavor, and the chips and shakes were an absolute must-try! The service was super fast, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly. A special shoutout to Joanne, who was absolutely lovely and made us feel so welcome. If you’re in Larne and looking for the best cafe in town, Taste is a must-visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and can’t wait to come back!
