Springsteens Diner in Carrickfergus

Discovered this place on a short break in Carrickfergus and it's my new favourite diner. We've have breakfast, lunch and dinner here and can't fault it at all. Really good portions, perfectly cooked food, and at a great price. Highly recommend the garlic cubed potatoes and the burgers.

Dead on place, quick service, friendly etc, just got a Monster Fry, price increased, but hey, it's happening on everything, but the hash browns where missing, maybe they where having a dander around the harbour, who knows...

Always a good breakfast and staff willing to change the menu to your requirements.

Wow. Big improvement from last visit many years. Great service, plenty of choice, piping hot food. Portions are huge, too much for me but will be back

Had a lovely meal in Springsteen Carrickfergus last night and the service was very good. The staff were very attentive especially Jess our waitress who looked after us and made it a very enjoyable evening. Sandra & Jim

Amazing food everytime,and staff are so attentive and friendly

Great food, always comes hot and consistently good portions. Menu is reasonably priced and with good variety. Service is fast and reliable, never waiting long before being seen to even when busy. Diner is simple and clean, nice decor. Location is good and parking is better. 10/10

Very disappointed in the waffle stack. An honest description would be a waffle cut in 2 and set ontop of itself. Super fry was good.

Brunch was lovely. Great to catch up with friends and enjoy the atmosphere and ambience of the place. Plenty on the menu to choose from.

Excellent service: fast and friendly. We were in and out inside 40 minutes. Food was delicious. My wife and I had the same thing: 'cluck and turf' sizzler in peppered sauce. Sides were miniature cubed roast potatoes in sweet chilli sauce and sour cream. This is a spectacular dish to order, with steam billowing from the hot skillets. We just drank bottled water. Total bill was reasonable. On other occasions we have taken the SuperFry. Extremely tasty. The choice of burgers is also a good one. Ambience was a little noisy with several families / groups of friends all chatting loudly. But it was tolerable and, to be honest, good for a Friday evening. It's a family-friendly restaurant so noise was to be expected. Premises were clean and well-kept. Service is very friendly and always helpful. Very enjoyable meals!

Lovely food and were very very helpful

The food was tasty and comes in huge portions 👌🏿

First time in here over the weekend. Awesome gluten free menu, great menu for everyone kids where happy. Great friendly smiling staff. Had a birthday boy more than happy to put a candle on his cream an play happy birthday. Will definitely return when in the area 10/10 all around. Also lovely clean bathroom areas.

Sad to say didn't enjoy any of our meal, for sure everything is basically frozen food heated up. Everything that we had ordered as a family could have been done from your own freezer. Wont be eating there again. Service from waitress was good but quality 9f food is terrible.

Chicken stack was delicious. Lovely hot pepper sauce, crispy tobacco onions and smooth mash. Good service too

Love Springsteen!! The food is great and the price is decent too. I love the booths, it feels private and everyone gets a booth so no fighting for a good seat like most places. I always get a fry up and can't recommend it enough. I've never had a bad meal and neither have my kids or wife!

Brilliant everytime all round, very well run

Breakfast menu is extensive and reasonably priced.

Lovely laid back atmosphere service great and nobody hanging around you waiting on you to finish. Food was lovely well priced and generous portions.

The table was dirty and the coke was flat and though the night was sick and runs both off us so i will not be back

Usually fairly busy but service and grub is good

Took me 9 decades to get my food.

Staff are amazing really injoyed the lovely food come again

Tried this spot out for some breakfast and lets say it was 10/10. I had the monster fry and it was delicious. The fresh pancakes melted in your mouth. The service was amazing also. I will definitely be back. 🙂

Great food, made fresh. Large portions. Friendly and attentive staff. Reasonably priced. Been going for years. Highly recommended

Typical American style fast food... The staff were extremely kind and hospitable

Great place to eat. Never been disappointed

Beautiful scrambled egg and toast ..and pot of tea ..what a way to start your day ..👍👍try it out ...

It's easy to park the car outside. Great choice of tasty food and the staff are very friendly

Food always good and service quick.

Exactly what you expect from American food: full of fat, sugar and other things that you should not have too much of in one day. Don't get me wrong, the food was well prepared and the portions were large. But an 8 cm burger just doesn't fit in your mouth, you have to dissect it with your cutlery.

Good food, great service. Menu getting a lot more 'pricey' than I remember.

A busy Monday morning! Top notch food and service. The staff are always very pleasant here.

Very nice staff. Enjoyed our dinner thanks..

Staff and food is lovely and reasonably priced

Excellent as usual. Great staff and service. Food absolutely delicious!!!

Food is extremely bland and not fresh for the price. Just under £20 for fajitas which was mostly onion with 3 slices of beef! 6 small strips of chicken £17 😂 staff not the greatest most of the time just stood watching out the window, dessert arrived freezing and most likely frozen as it was rotten. If you love bad quality food for high prices then this place is for you

I absolutely love to come to Springsteens Diner, whenever my partner and I travel to Ireland. This has to be our favourite restaurant over here. However, for over 20 years they have been serving American based food and I cannot be disappointed. Firstly, credit goes to the fabulous team that work here. You make everything easy and taste delicious. In addition, i love how everything about the lay out and how it feels home-like. Secondly, the food was perfect! Most of the food items come with a side (read the menu to make sure). I got myself “the firebird burger” and the bacon mac and cheese. The burger was really good and was well constructed and the mac and cheese was creamy and such a delightful meal. Finally, their current cocktail of the week a mango, peach and strawberry daiquiri was absolutely beautiful! Not just from presentation but with blasting taste too! If I did live in Ireland, I would come here every day to eat. Thank you so much for the experience 💙

Amazing food and excellent service highly recommend.

Overpriced Tasteless food Never again!

Food that day wasn't to the standard it was last year . Everything else atmosphere, customer service, was great, but food has dropped.

Busy day long wait, but staff pleasant and food was decent....

Good solid menu done well. Accessible, good parking and friendly staff.

American diner experience with a good variety of dishes to choose from. Main courses are all very filling you won't come away hungry.

Love this place. Food is FANTASTIC!! Menu is great, so much choice. Staff are always friendly.

This restaurant is brilliant. The staff are all friendly and its lovely inside. The meals are all well priced and the portions themselves are massive. There is a good desert menu as well the chocolate cake is beautiful. Only thing I find is it can be chilly in the building some nights. But it wouldn't put me off.

The food is good, but the service is slow

Came here for our daughters 16th birthday and couldn't of gone to a better place. The food was beautiful, the atmosphere was chilled and the staff were amazing. One of the girls even came over before leaving from her shift to wish our daughter a happy birthday and gave her her best wishes. Will definitely be going back ♥️

Delicious food and very nice service.

Breakfast was well done just as requested 3 sizes of Breakfast on offer service was very good,a place to have a family meal 😋

Love this place! Food to die for. Really chilled laid back atmosphere. Staff really welcoming and friendly.

The food was amazing but service was slow and we had to ask for servers to come over frequently. Luckily the food outshone that.

Really good restaurant with a HUGE menu. Seriously took me about 10 mins to take it all in. Very friendly staff. Only issue is if you have anxiety(like I do) about social settings, this may not be be the place for you. It was packed. Also they seemed to know all their customers. All of them. That's definitely a NI thing 👍🏾

Good quality American Diner style restaurant. Varied menu, good food served promptly by friendly staff.

I come to this restaurant quite frequently and I always order the chilli chicken with garlic fries and it’s always really lovely. However I haven’t been to the restaurant in about two months. Me and my boyfriend decided to go tonight and I ordered the same as usual, however this time the chilli sauce had a very weird taste and smell almost like chemicals I literally ate 1 piece of chicken and left the other five as it was covered in the sauce. I told the manger when I was going to pay and she made a point of going down to check my plate to see if I had ate any of it which majority of it was still there bar the piece I ate and yes I had eaten my fries, she explained that the sauce had changed and that’s why. I think her customer service was extremely poor and usually a manger would say the customer is always right and offer so form of compensation. She charged me for the full meal and didn’t even apologise. Safe to say very dissatisfied.

Had a fantastic breakfast and the service was first class 😀.

Love this place staff are friendly and the chef is no1. I ask for a bada bing pasta which sadly isnt on the menu anymore and the chefs will still make me it. I def recommend it.

Absolutely gem of a place 🤩 food portions were huge and the staff were really friendly

Amazing food. Staff were very attentive. cannot fault anything

Great staff and good food. Well worth a visit.

We went as a group of 5 on the table service was spot on and efficient. ,The food was bang on and the desert was excellent . Thank you.

Excellent breakfast selection ,lots of choice -had trouble deciding what to have -staff friendly and food well cooked .

Had breakfast here and it was fine. No complaints. Service was friendly and food came in a reasonable amount of time. It was pretty busy, and they certainly were able to cope with the volume.

Our favourite restaurant and regular customers. Nothing to complain, best restaurant in Carrick they say.

Staff still great. Food has improved.

Excellent as always,best veggie breakfast in Carrickfergus. staff couldn't be nicer.

Friendly staff, good atmosphere

Meals are always delicious and large. Service is great.

Great service and some nice food. Thanks!

They served us when we first arrived. They Ignored us when we were finished. Staff standing around talking and not coming to collect our dishes.

Birthday brunch Ulster fry nothing better on a Saturday morning. Very busy but food and service great as ever which is why we keep coming back.

Staff are polite with good humour, the service is fast and the food was amazing. Just beware the brush....

This was the nicest meal I’ve had in a long time, only downside was that I didn’t save room for desert! Highly recommend the cocktails too!

Was giving child size portion for nearly £50 and asked 3 times for our drinks service was horrible

Hadn’t been here in years but decided to give a go recently. Very impressed with the changes from our last visit. Loads to choose from, not badly priced and staff are very efficient.

We headed along Rowan Drive onto Kingsway the slip to blacks road onto M1 until we joined the west link,change onto M5 go long the shore road onto Belfast road turn into Rodger quay.we went into and waited to be seated.we where given menus and asked if we wanted drinks while we decided then we placed the order we where asked when we paid if everything was ok we said yes it was.i would recommend here to people.

Food was noticeably poor. Not a single vegetarian option on the menu.

Been going here for years but over the past year it's went downhill, smaller portions for more money and the food quality just isn't there, unfortunately won't be returning, hope they improve soon as the service staff are excellent at their job.

go to springsteans regularly can’t beat it, nachos and chicken wings for starter or great!! :))) highly recommended

We didn’t eat here because we were just wanting lunch and the menu was too expensive

Great place for breakfast on a Saturday. Service is excellent too.

This was one of the best restaurants I have been too. All of the staff were amazing. I would highly recommend going to this restuarant, the food and service was amazing! Kind Regards Sam

Food quality is great...freshly prepared. Staffs are friendly.

Awful. Avoid at all costs. I've never made 1star reviews but I think this is for the public's safety. Staff are not pleasant. Food was disgusting. Food Standard Agency contacted already. Steak they served were ice cold. Complained and didn't even apologise. Sent another in less than 1 minute. Didn't finish the meal, it was revolting. Chicken was very undercooked! 🤢🤮

Very disappointed with the food on my recent visit... Nowhere near what it used to be... 😣

Staff very friendly and helpful will definitely be back

Food is very good, staff friendly, atmosphere welcoming 🍺

Excellent selection of burgers, loved it.

Love their avocado breakfast it has a chilli kick it's lush, the mini brioche baps they come in are delicious, staff are lovely

Family friendly. Plenty of noise and atmosphere. Large portions of tasty food.

Been going to Springsteens for many years, service from waiting staff is always great but over the last year the food has got gradually worse. Today the food was mediocre at best. Can't see myself giving them custom again.

Always lovely! Great staff great food. Try the Capone pasta if you haven't already, it's my favourite. Everything I've tried has been lovely too

Absolutely amazing fry the morning after too many cocktails.

Lovely staff clean and nice setting !

Nice food and great service, reasonable prices too!
