Called into Gables restaurant yesterday for dinner. Arrived at 4 at which time dinner menu had just started. We ordered chicken supreme x 2 one with chips one dauphinoise potatoes one with mushroom sauce one with peppered sauce. After 45 mins our main meal arrived with 2 x chips & 2 x peppered sauce on the side. I told the waitress it was wrong she made some excuse they messed up in the kitchen. I asked her to change it to our previous order & after 10 mins by which time our main meal was stone cold they still got it wrong. I asked them to take away the food & to speak to the manager. He was rude unapologetic & made no effort to make amends. In fact when we were leaving he said "have a nice evening" in a very sarcastic tone. Totally unprofessional manner by him & the waitress & will definitely not be returning in future 😡

We were there on a Sunday for a wee bite to eat. We arrived there at 1:30 and took ATLEAST 1 hr and 30 minutes for our main course to arrive. There was flys and wasps flying all around the place and in the kitchen. We started eating and the chicken tasted like a walrus sat on it. I also asked for Fanta and they gave us orange juice.. The staff were VERY disrespectful. I recommend not going cause I know I won’t. 😡😡

The two course early bird for lunch would have been a very pleasant experience but for one unforgivable sin: the chips are awful. Avoid at all costs, have some mash instead. I took my parents for an early dinner. The Gables was quiet at that time and we were seated immediately by very friendly staff. Myself and my father had soup to start which was delicious. A rich cream of vegetable, served with a very generous wedge of fresh wheaten bread. A standard but well executed start to the meal. For mains my mother and I had the Chicken Supreme while my father had fish and chips. The fish was huge and it is the first time ever my father has not managed to finish a fish dinner. He was very impressed by the size and quality. My mother and I enjoyed the freshly breadcrumbed and fried chicken alongside generous amounts of peppercorn sauce and salad. The peppercorn sauce was a little watery and could have been creamier but was perfectly serviceable. The one complaint we all shared were the chips which really let the whole meal down. As such an integral part of the meal it was very disappointing. At first glance they looked home made and fresh, but as soon as you bite into them you are met with a horrible aftertaste. At first I thought that it was a sign that the oil they were cooked in needed changed as there was an almost, 'off' or 'burnt' taste to them, yet upon trying a second chip I think that these chips are not fresh at all, but are actually bought in pre-prepared and like most 'fresh' chips when they have been pre-prepared for too long before being cooked they go stale, or more technically the starch breaks down. Serving chips which have gone stale is a real let down and made half the meals we had inedible. This is the trouble of cost cutting to save time or money, there is always a trade off and for it to come at the expense of the taste of the food to the point it is inedible...well it just isn't acceptable. Serving frozen chips which were actually edible would have been a better decision rather than going the pre-prepared route in hopes that the 'look' of home made would have people so enamored as to ignore the poor taste. With 'home-made' or 'fresh' chips, it is better to peel, cut and cook the chips fresh on site so as to actually know how long they have been 'fresh' for, rather than to buy in pre-prepared which runs the risk of falling into the stale taste trap. My mother had sticky toffee pudding for dessert which she found came as a generous portion and she was very pleased with. We had a pot of tea to finish the meal. A generous pot with a teabag for each diner which gave a good strength. The milk jug was blessedly generous and a pleasant relief from the trend of miniscule milk jugs and portions in other establishments. The teabags themselves however were of a lower quality and could be improved on for a better taste, especially considering the profit margins of tea. Overall, a meal of two halves. In future if we go back I would advise everyone to avoid the chips and to have mash or baby boils instead.

Arrived for Sunday Lunch with my Mother and Husband at 2-15 and we were not served our starter until 3pm. After complaining about the delay we eventually received our main course at 3-30 and unfortunately the food was tasteless and partially inedible! You would have broken your teeth on the carrots. Chaotic service and poor quality food on this occasion.

The menu had excellent variety & the food was absolutely delicious & full of flavour. I got to taste the jumbo Atlantic prawns & prawn cocktail to start, the duck & trout for mains & the sticky toffee pudding & chocolate fondant for dessert. We enjoyed heavenly cocktails, made by the lovely bar man Frank. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes great food in a pleasant ambiance.

Ordered Thai red curry with added chicken. At over £16.00 my expectations were high. When it arrived 50 minutes later I was perplexed by the miserable smush of vegetables dominated by some type of bean. I had mis read the menu and thought the beans referred to the green variety often used in Asian cuisine. No, these were beans in a sauce not unlike the one in Heinz baked beans. Thai cuisine should be light zingy and spicy. I have experienced more heat on a frosty February morning. The promise of kaffir lime leaves was an empty one, not a hint of citrus zing was apparent. Why do chefs pretend to offer authentic thai tastes and consistently fail to deliver. This is the worst attempt at Thai I have ever tasted. Once bitten twice Thai. Will not be back.

Visited the restaurant with the family for dinner on Friday night. We didn’t have a booking and the restaurant was busy but we were quickly put on a table in the middle of the restaurant. The decoration is beautiful, the music very pleasant and service was great. I unfortunately couldn’t try everything on the menu (trust me I would if I could) but I would highly recommend the seafood chowder and arancini balls for starter. For mains, the fillet of hake, the lamb and pork belly were all incredible (yes, I had a taste of everyone’s food). Really, the food deserves international awards, the presentation, the textures and flavors of the food deserves an extra recognition. On top of that, the service was brilliant. The manager came to check in with us a couple of times and was very attentive to our requests. I’m very happy we visited the restaurant and would definitely come back at anytime.

Came here a few days before Christmas. Interior beautifully decorated. Waiting staff were lacking in customer service and friendliness, bar the lady who I think was the manager who came round to check on us. The food was very slow coming out, and the full menu wasn’t even on offer that day. We were told it was a shortened menu due to the restaurant being busy, but it wasn’t even that busy to justify the length of time we waited for starters and main. Food was very tasty bar the stuffing (burnt). Table of four next to us ordered after us and received their food before us, and there were only two of us - pet peeve - particularly when waiting for so long.

Claire and Lisa where very accommodating and attentive and when a table came available our starters arrived in good time and where delicious. I had the wings and My wife had the goats cheese which both got devoured (clean plates all round). We both had the steaks which where cooked to perfection and had the Pinot noir to wash it down (2 bottles it was that good). The waiting staff where excellent and took the time, even though the restaurant was very busy to have a good chin wag with us and make us feel very welcome.I would definitely recommend the gables for the food, drinks and hospitality we received tonight.

The Gables' menu has certainly had a make over and revamp. We were delighted with our food, the staff and cleanliness of the restaurant. The only thing that I didn't like was the choice of background music which was country and western. It didn't detract from the quality, taste or value oof our meal but was too loud in the first place, its not my music of choice and at this volume I actually for went a dessert because it was grating on our nerves so much.

We were enroute on a long journey travelling between Cookstown & Dungannon. The Gables is along this road and very accessible. Arrived about 7.00 on a Friday evening to a busy Gables restaurant. We had not booked. Met by the proprietor Lisa with a smile and a warm greeting and shown to a table. Menu was easily read, good variety & easily understood. After ordering our drinks, our meal order was taken quickly and all was very mannerly. Food was served again with a smile and we were asked if we needed anything else. Food was well presented, hot, the plate was not over filled and all tasted scrumptious. The menu was not overpriced and each of our 3 meals was well received as it was good wholesome cooked food. We would recommend The Gables Dungannon for its pleasant atmosphere and good food. We will definitely call again when passing. Thank you

Big family get together so serving twenty people at once was never going to be easy, but generally they managed OK. The food is generally good basic stuff, not hote cuisine but fine none the less. Good size portions and very reasonably priced as is the wine, which was actually very good for the price.

We had a group of 14 adults and 5 kids visit the gables for a family lunch on a Saturday. Really impressed with the new menu, the food was delicious and portions very generous.

Our cycling club Island Wheelers hosted their annual awards dinner here on Saturday for 50+ people. Wow I was really impressed with the venue and the food bearing in mind we had a choice of 3 starters and 4 mains the staff coped very well. The food was really excellent, freshly cooked and very very tasty. Over 50+ happy customers. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

I very rarely travel this road to Dungannon as I use other routes to bypass The Gables pub /restaurant going to Belfast. its always been there but over recent times has been really modernized outside, so passing last night we stopped for the first time, 10 miles from my home to eat there.

Family night out before christmas,shown to our table promptly. 2 brothers ordered mussels for starters they both said they were "rubbery" . Mains arrived but those that ordered starters had to ask for cutlery for their mains,, side dishes of garlic fries very "soggy". Some ordered deserts again we had to ask for spoons and forks to eat them.

Food was horrible, bland and talk about a Christmas dinner?! Dessert was disgusting. Would rather starve than call here. Haven't been in over twenty years as knew not to go back. With this visit my expectations were confirmed. Please avoid as you can get way nicer food elsewhere! Decor is woeful too.

Disgusting is the only word I could describe the plate off stuff they sat in front off me. Ordered the steak sandwich the bread was soaking in garlic mayo and salad dressing. Both side orders weren’t touched as cold and overcooked. Told this to the staff. Nothing was done.

Poor food. I have cooked much higher quality food myself. Cheap ingredients used. dirty table, dirty glasses, dirty plate.. and worst of all the plate my dinner was served on was chipped. Really not worth the price. Maybe if it was £5-7 per dish it would be a bit more acceptable..

Mixed review about this restaurant. The menu is very extensive and has something for everyone. The food is beautiful, I'd go as far as saying its right up there with being the nicest I've ever had from a restaurant. The Crunchie cheesecake is to die for. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming.

The gables bar and restaurant catered for our large party brilliantly. Excellent facilities for those with children and less mobile. Helpful and welcoming staff. Great location and plenty of easy access car parking. The menu is varied and certainly our party received 5 star service and importantly excellent food and drink. The food is good value. Highly recommend the gables ...great spot for a family celebration or party.

We use to use this place so much, and always gave it the benefit of the doubt when the food was just okay. We all have bad nights. But the last few months it’s became so cheap and disappointing we shall never be returning. It’s a shame as it’s a handy wee spot when you are down towards cookstown and local to friends. There isn’t really much in the area for dining out. But the food has became not even mediocre anymore and the service is appalling and flea illness of the restaurant . On the last visit I mentioned it to one of the staff and the response was a blank stare and walked off.... the food was like something you would buy in your Eurospar. Again it’s such a shame for a place that was once a decent meal out. Sorry Gables poor quality food and staff have ruined it for us!

Hi Claire, I am truely disappointed about your horrendous experience you had at our restaurant. However some of your ‘critiques’ don’t add up. I received confirmation 2 days before your party arrived and had been told about the intolerances in the group. Upon ourselves we designed a menu to suit everyone at your party and exceeded these demands. First of all there where two gluten free (coeliac) dishes placed on the menu (along with 5 other options), of course you ordered one of the dishes that was stated not coeliac. Tho being in situations like this befor I accompanied the ‘non coeliac’ dishes with ingredients that could be substituted ie your Yorkshire pudding, which was made gluten free in house. So your dish was 100% gluten free. We pride ourselves on the different variations of dishes that we produce for every walk of intolerances and allergens there are! This is learnt by the most highly qualified chefs and waitresses/waiters there are, with knowledge menu of years of experience and training from all corners of the world! When your party arrived (45mins late) your food was sitting ready to be served. Unfortunately when taking a ‘preorder’ most people forget what they have ordered and when our fantastic waiting staff ask which is who’s the reply was ‘I’ll take that’! Unfortunately for those who can remember what they did order someone else has already started eating theirs. Then our staff have to relay to the kitchen and it has to be made from scratch again which may of lead to the wait on some food being served..... again. Also about the gravy, all our sauce and 98% of our menu is gluten free so I can’t understand how you would have to ask for it as all our wonderful staff already know this. The dessert, the lady who was served the gluten free and dairy Alabama fudge cake and who said it was truely delightful didn’t not seem to have a problem with it nor the ‘wait’! I really value your opinion as I hope you do my response. As for the decor, you are the first to complain and I’ll see if I can organise a refurb for your next visit. I really hope to see you again. Thank you for your visit.

I visited this restaurant as part of a large group, so can only review from this perspective, which may not be an accurate representation of overall service. We had given the staff our food orders two hours before we landed, but this didn't seem to help with food coming out quickly. Some diners in our group were served a full 20 minutes before others, and on my table, some of the diners were given an incomplete order, receiving their sides after they had finished their meal, and having asked twice for the sides to be brought out. I gave my order for a gluten free dish prior to arriving, but was told no-one had been told of my allergies and so was served a plate which was not suitable. I'm not sure if there was a miscommunication from our end (as far as I know this is not the case, but I can't be 100% certain.) and I had to send it back and await for a new plate to be made up, which meant most people had finished their meal by the time I got mine. When it came back it still contained food on there that I'm allergic to, which could pose a huge problem for people with serious allergies, so that's something that staff will really need to be aware of, and could be reviewed. Regardless, as it was only a Yorkshire pudding and because I didn't have time to change my plate a second time, I didn't bother mentioning it. The food was ok, average fare, I had roast beef with veg and potatoes, and wasn't offered the option of a gluten free gravy, so it was very dry. I didn't have enough time time to eat my desert because of our tight tour schedule, but feel that if the staff had served us our main all at the same time, this wouldn't have been an issue. Overall the establishment is average, decor is a little on the drab side and I can't say the food was good enough that I'd make a return trip here, although perhaps if I were not part of a tour, service would have been better. Excellent car park facilities, and it is very accessible from Dungannon and Cookstown, so if you have time and aren't fussed about potential slow service, it's a convenient place to dine. Staff seemed over stretched and I don't feel waitresses were given a set table to cover which meant we couldn't really strike up a rapport with our servers, but those that dealt with our table were friendly and I believe were trying their best. Poor organisation resulted in a lackluster experience.

After reading some reviews - was apprehensive about what to expect.. But had no cause for concern. Saturday night and our party of 9 had first class service with a very patient waitress who enjoyed the banter. Menu was quite extensive with something for everyone. Main meals were all 1st class, and the steaks were amazing. Dessert menu was varied with big portions - and again no complaints whatsoever. Great value for money - every bit as good if not better than some restaurants in the area that charge daft prices. Will definitely be back. Well done The Gables.

We normally eat here regularly as it's so handy. However we where so disappointed with out last visit. Firstly it took ages to be seated and order. When food came out it was lovely until in my pepper sauce I found a lump of something brown. We decided we wanted dessert so waited and waited until eventually my husband went and asked for menus when they came again we waited and waited so after a 30 min wait we paid and left without dessert. It will be a while before we are back

We had a family lunch here to celebrate a christening and were very pleased with the standard of service and the quality of the food. The extra details such as a personalised menu and gift for the baby were unexpected but much appreciated and helped make the occasion special. Many Thanks to all responsible for such an enjoyable afternoon.
