Stix & Stones Ballyhackamore in Belfast

I had the most wonderful birthday dinner here! The young staff were beyond brilliant and were always available to me and my friends. As well as this the food was superb the manager even went as far to gift me a free birthday plate. Personally couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate my birthday, will be coming back x

I went with a large group for the pre theatre menu as it was recommended to me by friends- it was very large portions and excellent value. The steak was one of the best steaks I have ever had! I would fully suggest that you try the steak on stone as it is such a unique experience. The staff were so lovely and welcoming and Jorge was so helpful in explaining the stone concept, I will one hundred percent be back!

What a great atmosphere , excellent food and tremendous service My partner of 27 years and I decided to give it a try Starters we had Mussels and chicken wings both where first class Main course 2x 12oz Sirloin steaks on a stone amazing cook it yourself plus seasonal veg and Homemade cut chips With a nice bottle of Rioja to wash it down For dessert we had a baked Alaska (between us off course ) and I finished the night off with an Irish coffee I WILL BE BACK !

Disappointing to say the least, original stix and stones in the centre of Belfast is one of our all time favourite restaurants and one we would regular visit. Unfortunately the new location was poor at best, starters were cold and had to be sent back. Mains were fine but steak was not the same quality as original location, dessert was poor and took 30min to arrive for one person. Generally very let down with our experience and will absolutely not be back. Service left a lot to desire and left us feeling deflated.

Food was good. However customer service was terrible. 1. We didn’t even so much get a hello from Jorge as we entered 2. Took 40mins for food to arrive 3. Before food arrived 1 waitress said that I ordered incorrectly. 4. Jorge marched up to me challenging how I ordered and blamed me for the confusion. I explained if he had of told me maybe there would not of been the confusion. 5. Table was cleared as we were still eating 6. No thanks for eating there 7. Terrible grumpy attitude from all waiting staff bar one girl. 8. Restaurant was freezing. This was our first time ever being here and will not be back. I have got better service in McDonald’s. Not worth the money at all.

Omg this place is fantastic! Based in East Belfast truly deserves to be a Michelin star. Absolutely loved it, food is amazing, staff is professional and super friendly , especially George , he was serving our table - what a man!!! We had a family dinner of 6 and age 19-78. We had pretty much all main dishes from your menu ( chicken, steak, fish and pork) and all were cooked to perfection. Massive well done to the chef! Will be back again. Thank you so much, we are very impressed. Quality and value for money

The steak is to die for....cooked to perfection. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The general vibe of the place is warm a d welcoming.

Great food (particularly steaks of course) with wonderful staff, in an excellent atmosphere. What else do you really need? An excellent addition to Ballyhackamore.

Great experience overall. The squid starter was great, and the mains following even better. The ribeye steak was very enjoyable. However the standout part of the night was the service. Carmen, our waitress, was amazing. Very attentive, very knowledgeable, and overall everything you want in a server. She was very informative about our wine, and personally kept me right in regards to the steak and the stone it was served on. Highly recommend, will be back.

Walking home on a dark dreary Belfast evening, I decided to go in for a meal, left so delighted with the food - best steak I’ve had in a long, long time, service excellent and with a welcoming smile, I would highly recommend. I’ll be back!

Amazing food. Steaks are delicious and finished on the hot stone by yourself at the table. Pan Jus and pepper sauce so full of flavour. Will definitely be back.

Had the best Sunday roast here last weekend. Had the crab cake starter, 3 mini crab cakes with gorgeous dressings. For main I had the roast beef, served pink 😍, with all the trimmings. The jus was out of this world. Our desserts were unbelievable, crème brulee with homemade shortbread and my partner had the baked Alaska. Def recommend

Disappointing. Firstly it was cold in the restaurant. The squid starter was rubbery and over salted and the garnish was minimal. The main steak was not great and I’d rather the kitchen cook my steak. Otherwise I may as well cook it at home myself. Gimicky and doesn’t work.

Visited for my daughters 19th birthday dinner. The service from arrival until leaving was outstanding. We booked from the pre-threatre menu, smaller selection of choices but there's something for everyone. Chicken wings were superb, curried parsnip soup, mussels and broccoli wings. Everyone bar one ordered the rump steak to be cooked on the stone, which was good fun. I ordered the fried onions as an extra they were lovely and the chips were perfectly cooked. Desserts were baked Alaska, sticky toffee and apple and blackcurrant terrine. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and is a nice setting. The staff were very helpful and attentive.

Went in for a business lunch, food was great and staff were really helpful and friendly, great options for a Sunday lunch

Visited Stix and Stones Ballyhackamore last night for the first time. The menu is obviously very steak heavy with limited options aside from this. My friend ordered the squid for starter and he felt it was bland and rubbery. In his opinion not fresh but...
