Amazing staff! Amazing food as always. The Sunday 3 course menu is so reasonably priced and the portion sizes are great. For dessert lovers go for the jam and coconut cake and custard!

First can I say that the staff were lovely and very friendly. Unfortunately the food was very poor. Prawn cocktail was odd tasting and seemed to have soy sauce in it. Chicken cougon starter was very small. Chips weren't cooked through although the burger was really overcooked. Turkey meals had cold undercooked veg and rock hard roast potatoes. Even the drinks selection was poor. No pure orange and some wines unavailable. For a Friday night it was empty and the door and windows were closed up before we even finished eating. No atmosphere at all. It's sad to see the Glenowen in this state after they have done so well in the past two years. Again great staff but so disappointed, we spent about £200. on our meal and we won't return.

I had honey chilli chicken as a starter, I there was too much of the sauce and not enough chicken even for a starter. Saying that my main was lovely I had the usual, steak with peppercorn sauce, tobacco onions and champ. It was really nice. The service from the waitress was above and beyond. She was very helpful and dint rush us. Staff are very polite. We went in about 6pm on a Wednesday and it was quite quiet so not much of an atmosphere but I'd definitely be backand would recommend here. Not too dear and for the price we payed it was worth it.

I ordered the chicken stack. To charge £15 for a plate and what was given was pretty steep. There wasn't very much on the plate. A scoop of mash and then 3 mediocre goujons and a single small onion ring. The batter was really basic and would be similar to what I've made before in the house, could've been much better. Mash was great but when is mash not. The peppered sauce had too much cream or something in it to give it a bit of a weird almost sour taste. I was with a few friends and both the exact same issue. The menu isn't really great, there aren't any deals unless on Sunday I think it was. Most plates seem to cost around £15 and starters were £5. £20 isn't bad for 2 courses but I found out the hard way by thinking a dinner and a Guinness would've been suffice. I can't understand why they would decorate up the stairs and not the restaurant I can remember the same seats when I was and going in. It's old and could really do with getting renovated. I don't know if leaving the door open is the greatest idea to leave the doors open. Fly were all over the place and constantly having to swat them away from the food, not a great look. I think if you want nice food in a local restaurant you'd have to go to felons. Foods amazing and quite cheap.

I recently returned to the glenowen downstairs bar as l heard it was under new management. On my previous visits for a pint or two the bar became run down and toilet facilities were woeful. I was keen to see if the new management cleaned the place up. Sorry to say that the place has barely changed! Dingy bar and the male toilet is nothing short of a disgrace! I don’t know how they’re allowed to open to the public!! Needless to say, l won’t be back!

Was dying with a hangover today and wanted some proper Sunday roast. My girl convinced me to go here for dinner, now I was sceptical to say the least but ypu know women once they've an idea you may as well go with it. I mean this genuinely I could not fault the dinner at all. The beef was unreal, spuds where perfect and the veg was amazing. The staff where very friendly ( actually decided a disagreement with me and my woman about the belfast area ) on point and not intrusive All in all I would highly recommend and definitely be back Oh also the Coors where right on the spot

After hearing about the new ownership I decided to give this place a try for Sunday dinner. I wanted to enjoy it but didn't!! On entering the place looked shabby. The dining room music was too loud, unruly kids running amok. Despite being reasonably early the lamb was not available so we all opted for turkey and ham - this was nice but the same standard can be had in multiple establishments on a Sunday. I had chowder to start and it was just Ok. Served with a dessert (not soup) spoon and the wheaten bread was on the bowl - no side plate. All in all it was a bit of a let down and I wanted to enjoy as the Mexican and Chinese platters on the menu sounded good so was looking to return but doubt I will

Having had a few bad experiences in the Glenowen many moons ago I was convinced to go back and try it by the wife. I'm glad she did. Completely refurbished and the food and drink was excellent. Staff couldn't have done enough and reasonably priced as well. We're within walking distance I'll definitely be back! *Review Edit* We've been back a load of times, its our new regular and have to give the management a huge kudos for the food, drink (The New Yorker) and the live music, Helter Skelter is outstanding!

We looked at the Web reviews before we booked and they were very encouraging. What we found was very contradictory. The two dining areas were very dated, the carpet looked like something from the 60's, the toilets from the 50's. We sat in the dining area without a bar and there were far too many tables, again the decor was poor and while the waitress was very friendly and food great the waiting times were excessive. I was expecting to see a nice bar / restaurant area, but unfortunately this place has been lost in time and needs brought up to date. I would not be recommending it, but in the right hands it could be developed into a bright modern bar / restaurant.

First time dining in with new owners, soup was just about warm, bread roll was hot ( little half baked baguettes that you finish in the oven) personally I prefer a roll thats room temp, so the butter doesn't melt or wheaten bread. Roast of the day was gammon (delicious , with a honey glaze) tenderstem broccoli was rock hard !! Mash roasties carrots and gravy delicious , overall I don't think I'll be rushing back and I'm within walking distance to the restaurant, overall 6/10

Edited feedback I left few years ago. Avoid this place for functions and take custom elsewhere. Function room was filthy. Mould in corner, stains on walls alongside old blu tack and dirty sellotape. Carpet shiny with dirt and wear. Things only noticed when was too late to book elsewhere as I had previous functions that were great. Not going to begin with food. Staff friendly and downstairs looks fine but definitely not fit for a celebration of any kind. Gone downhill badly
