Sizzlin' Smokehouse in Magherafelt

Visited Saturday week ago. I'm vegetarian and only 2 options on the menu main courses neither of which I liked. I decided to go for the brie starter with chunky chips and my husband had burger and skinny fries. We put in our order and there were only 2 other tables of customers. One male staff member stood on his mobile the whole time we were in. The food came fast enough and when I cut my brie I found that it was still frozen in the middle and the chips which were far too chunky weren't cooked. Totally put me off my food,I mean neither were complicated cooking. My husbands burger was dry and tasteless but edible. I called the server over and explained and she offered me something else but I didn't take anything as there was nothing else I would eat. So my husband ate quickly and we left. When we went to pay they didn't charge for my food but that was no consolation. I certainly wouldn't be back

Just called in when I was in Magherafelt today Tuesday 10th September 2024. Lovely & comfortable restaurant & really nice service. Had the House Chicken Curry & a pint of lager ( No Guinness 😳) The curry was delicious, the sauce just perfect. The girl who served us was very welcoming & all with a smile. Will definitely return when back in Magherafelt. ☘️

Great food and friendly service.

Delicious food served and staff extremely friendly . Loved my visit would call again... just would need more toilet facilities if possible..

Very nice restaurant. Food was very good and service was good.

Never fails for a meal out. Lunch or dinner. 👌👌👌

Great resturant, staff were fantastic, food was delicious and portions are grand! Kids meals were good too and very good prices 👌

Awful bloody steak plate filled with blood, steak not allowed to settle before sending to table who's the chef/owner total nightmare for my special day

The staff is brilliant and services i wouldn't recommend it to anyone

Outstanding everytime. Love it an Great staff.

Delicious tasty food, great choice of menu, good portions, very friendly staff, def value for money. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Had a delicious meal in here last night! Food was fabulous, fantastic choice of menu, reasonable prices and very friendly staff! Would highly recommend

Booked this restaurant for my partners birthday along with our children, had a great atmosphere and was quite busy. I went for spare ribs for starters in bbq sauce, and sea bass for my main meal both courses where delicious. Had chocolate fudge cake for desert. Staff were very pleasant and helpful, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant.

Had a voucher for restaurant and booked in advance. Arrived on time and despite there being tables empty in main body of restaurant we were taken to back of restaurant to a dark area opposite the kitchen with noisy fans and steam from restaurant. Food was ordered and to be honest it was nothing special. I won’t be in any hurry to return

Very disappointed food just ok staff pounce as soon as ur finished eating one course to whack next course in front of u. Staff not very well presented and chewing gum as they serve food. Won't be back

Turkey & ham dinner with stuffing, mash, roast potatoes, cocktail sausages, carrot, and parsnip with gravy and cranberry sauce. Absolutely exceptional!! I highly recommend it! It's definitely well worth a visit.

Called in on a Monday night. Was very quiet, servers were nice, though i had to go up to pay after waiting for the bill. Food was very poor. £70 for a plate of batter and couple of chips and 3 bowls of hard pasta in bland sauce with chewy chicken. Took 80% home for our dogs. Unfortunate but just not the quality or pricing you would expect.

We enjoyed our lunch recently. We arrived just after 12pm. Restaurant lovely and warm on a very cold day. Nice welcome and seated quickly. Our lunch was served in a reasonable time it was delicious. Waitress was attentive. Very impressed Thank you.

Was recommended to visit this place however overall we left feeling slightly disappointed. Pros: Friendly staff and fast service despite it being a busy Saturday evening. The starters were also very good. Cons: Ordered a strawberry daiquiri which tasted more like a cheap strawberry slush puppy rather than anything containing any alcohol. The smoked bbq burger was pretty tasteless and could have had done with more seasoning / flavour. The salt and chilli fries just seemed like normal fries with a small garnish of peppers on top.

Lovely food, beautiful atmosphere, such a nice place to go for dinner with family or friends 😊😊

Food is beautiful, service is excellent nothing else to say

The food was delicious and the portions large. Really enjoyed the chicken curry and the roast beef was tender and tasty. The servers are very efficient and super friendly. It's quite a large interior with lots of table space and nice decor. We ate from the early bird menu, the food was pure magic and cheap as chips. Two cracking ,tasty meals for 25 quid, now that's a brilliant deal. Right on the main street this sizzlin smokehouse is smoking hot , tasty burger good . The only critique is the toilets need refurbished. When I'm in or near Magherafelt, this is the eating house for me. Good food, good people. 👍

Great service, good food, and intimate atmosphere. Somewhat expensive for what we ordered, but over all a great experience.

Real disappointment after reading reviews, only good for starters and deserts go else where for mains especially if looking a steak cooked to your liking. Avoid!!!!

1st class service and 1st class food. Really lovely

O.m w....... you gotta try the bbq ribs.... to die for !!! Yummmy!!!

Ambience is great and food is awesome

Amazing food and customer service

The food is good and the portions are large and reasonably priced. A bit too brightly lit to provide atmosphere. Very attentive service.

I was there for a special occasion I ordered sirloin steak, my daughter is a doctor and a vegetarian, thought the steak would come cooked, it was bloody and disgusting weeping blood, not allowed to rest and not cooked property, probably due to the managers haste with foods going out as fast as possible for financial gains, my son vomited at the site of blood on my plate, we left immediately paid our bill never be back paul Clarke and wife ruined all of my friends night out

Super place. Food Great at affordable price..had early bird menu for a birthday party. Fab evening

First time in this restaurant and it certainly won't be the last. Food was delicious and the customer service was second to non. Would highly recommend.

Went there with the three children. Kids meal came after 5 mins of ordering but mine didn't arrive for 30 mins and by that time kids were finished and bored waiting for mine and extra fries I had ordered. Really poor service. Only plus was the food was nice

Very disappointing Very bad service and food had to take my kids home and feed them

Very much enjoyed our meal here, the food was absolutely delicious. I can honestly say it was the best Vegetable Curry I've ever tasted! Highly recommended 🍛😋😊 Beautiful interior and comfortable surroundings.

Wonderful food, great steaks, will definitely be back, first class food and very attentive staff👍😊

Delicious Sunday lunch and great service. Would definitely go again when passing through.

The battered goujons on “the big one” dish are worthy a reward. Keep it up the kitchen wizard who’s making them. ✌️

Great food, staff couldn't be anymore helpful. Great experience.

Lovely surroundings, fantastic food served by friendly fun staff. Great place

Brisket burger was the best burger I've ever had. Unreal quality. The Salmon is also delicious. Staff are really attentive and friendly. It's a bit pricey but worth it.

Good food and staff 👍👍 Very nice place

Over priced and small portions. The deep fried Brie was one small wedge served with cranberry sauce from a jar for £5.95 . I had the prawn and chorizo pasta dish for my main which came in a soup bowl , the flavour was ok, there was half a dozen prawns and the chorizo pieces were miniscule. The bottom of the bowl was swimming in oil , I only ate the top layer and had to give up, as far too oily . It was a very disappointing experience in all would not recommend 😕

Delishious food. Frendly pleasant and helpful staff. Would recommend.

A hidden gem to someone who's rarely in Magherafelt, great meal and service, would definitely be back.

Food was excellent but staff let the place down

Excellent quality food. I had steak and it was cooked perfectly The pepper sauce was really good My brother's gravy was delicious Obviously well made and fresh Was impressed Really good staff, lots of choice on the menu Will definatley go again For the quality of food it was a very good price

Abismal effort to cater for coeliac vegetarian, cesar salad advertised as vegetarian option available, a bowl of shredded lettuce came out, chef no creativity, lazy old school menu minimal effort would not recommend.

The food was beautiful and all the staff second to none i love this place to get out great.

Good service and very fast service

Been in a few times and have not yet been disappointed!

Loved the t-bone very relaxed and friendly.. highly recommended

The sizzling chicken I just had is the tastiest meal i’ve had in 2020. Great restaurant, great food - my children loved it too...

Had chicken wings for starters chicken fillet slizzer for mains and cheese cake was all amazing and lovely staff

Good food. Very quick. Lovely staff, all very friendly.went in on a Sunday and hadn't booked but got table for 2 adults 2 kids and one toddler. Got sat near the wee kids area which suited us and the kids had fun instead of being bored at the table. Desserts were nice. I had jam coconut sponge and custard. My wife had pavlova but it was a bit softer than expected. Kids had ice cream. Very cute kids sized armchairs in kids area too

Good for families, good selection of food for all people, friendly and attentive staff. Incredible portion sizes, enough for even the most glutinous! Fantastic restaurant setup with a nice kids area too, which is so rare. Everyone with kids should check this out, really good for everyone even without kids too

Great food and attention by staff was excellent. 🍴
