The Point Bar and Restaurant in Limavady

Beautiful meal, so much seafood in dish really tasty. Staff brilliant

Popped in and booked a table earlier in the day. When we went back to eat no table had been reserved and we were given the most uncomfortable table in the dining area. The poor lad who served us was so nervous he could not take our order. This is a family pub so expect children to be running around. The food was okay, while there was plenty of it, the fish and chips were soggy and the mushy peas looked like dishwater. The veggie options were not the same as shown on the website, nor were the prices. Average throughout, I would have given more stars for the service if I thought they had reserved a table for us as promised

Fantastic staff tea coffee and cake

Great we spot for bite to eat just check it's open before travelling to it

Great early bird menu. Warm fire burning 🔥

Went here for a Sunday lunch with our golden retriever 1 year old. It was our first attempt to do this and went much better than expected. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the food was good. We both and chicken dishes, the portions were plentiful. Alfie barked 4 times when others dogs arrived. Thankfully it was a single bark each time and we were able to enjoy our meal. Next time I’ll attempt the seafood chowder. Ps if going with a dog you need to book as there are limited spaces

Great food and staff very friendly 👌 Guinness pie 🥧 😋

I really like this place, nice service, good food

A family celebration for a birthday and a wonderful time was had by all

We have ate at the point bar quite a few times over the past year and have yet to be disappointed, food always good , staff very helpful and friendly, and it’s also dog friendly in the front bar and food is reasonably priced!

We had an amazing night for our xmas nite out with the drenagh staff happy Christmas everyone

The point is such a nice place to go to. This is where my friends and I met for Lunch last Friday and I must say it was a really lovely experience. The staff were so helpful and friendly and made us feel most welcome. The food did not disappoint, it was well presented and very tasty and plenty of it. We have been here a few times and meant to write a review previous to this as we felt it deserves recognition for the excellent experiences we have had. A special mention to Joanna, Connor & the chef who personally delivered one of our desserts.

Fabulous food, attentive staff lovely atmosphere.

Love every visit here. Food always stunning, staff friendly and welcoming and just all around homely and cost environment 10/10 would recommend

Perfect place for relaxed intimate or family occasion.

Had a really good meal, steak was exceptional, Guinness was excellent. The service could have been a little better, but it was quite late on a Sunday evening, it was good of them to take the booking. It's little things, like the pepper sauce arriving 5 minutes after the steaks and we ordered a second pint of Guinness which never appeared. Nothing major but it spoiled an otherwise perfect meal.

Beautiful fish with an exceptional large pavlova. Tasty tasty

Always reliable! A good meal, good service, and always buzzing.

Excellent service and excellent food

Husband had the steak ciabatta and he said it was one of the best steaks he’s ever had. It was very juicy and soft. Lovely.

Great dog friendly spot. Lovely staff and fab location

Not great visit felt like it was lacking something

Love this place. Been a few times now and have always had a great service. Disabled parking and toilet available. Lovely welcoming open fire is as warm as the staff. Food is great and if there is something in the meal you want or don't want just inform the staff when ordering. Great selection of food and drink available. Will be back again soon. When you are there there is a nice beach walk beside them with beautiful views well worth a visit. Enjoy

Outstanding food.. generous portions. Its rare I don't clear my plate.. today I couldn't finish my food.. great staff in a lovely area.

Clean comfortable with a great view. Food was very good and great value. Service was a bit slow but they were busy and the staff were still good humoured and helpful. Would certainly go back.

Gorgeous food we did not book a table but the staff were very welcoming and sorted us out ASAP, busy time.

Lovely spot to grab a drink or a meal. It's close to the ferry so handy to grab a coffee while you wait. Friendly staff and quick service.

My review is somewhat different. I parked my motorhome outside, got out it, & managed to lock myself out with the keys in the ignition. Went into the restaurant & explained my problem. What a reaction, everyone, customers and staff immediately got involved, people ringing locksmiths etc. One of the staff climbed up on the roof, managed to open an impossibly small skylight & then unscrewed it, removed it, & climbed in! the hole was extremely small. He got my keys out of the ignition, returned them to me & then refitted the skylight; amazing. He wouldn't accept any reward from me for all his efforts on my behalf. All I can say, once again, thank you very much for what you did for me. The reaction of all of the staff & customers was amazing & I am humbled by the experience. I won't forget my visit to the Point Bar in Magilligan for a long time. Derek Moffitt

We were waiting on the ferry back to Greencastle place looked good To be fair the guy that seated us was very friendly and seated us straight away but the girl who took the orders was less than friendly Even managed to take wrong order's The food was ok we've had worse but if i was to offer advice if catching the ferry go to Greencastle and dine at the castle Inn

One of my favourite restaurants. Really relaxed, family orientated and excellent quality food. Can be busy over the summer with the ferry coming over. Love it in the winter when the fire is blazing to enjoy an Irish Coffee after dinner. Large menu to choose from, never had a bad meal and we eat here alot.

Very nice sat outside with dogs for dinner

Unfriendly staff, felt like we were bothering them. Long long wait to get ordered then another long wait for the dinner to arrive. Food was really poor, dry, bland. I could go on here... Anyway wouldn't recommend and I'd go as far to say you should avoid it. Really poor food, toilets filthy also. Some of the take aways In Limavady are better.

English food that you can enjoy. We only ate dishes from the daily menu. Everything was cooked to perfection and very well seasoned. Unusually good for English food and that at the end of the world.

Really lovely dinner and arranged at very short notice. We had the dog with us so ate in the bar (about four tables available for that). Restaurant was crowded, boisterous and the atmosphere was great. Even in the cold weather (July !!!) there were diners willing to eat outside. Good, varied menu and attentive service. A real find, with good walks from the door.

While on a touring holiday our B&B host recommended the Point, we arrived mid evening without a reservation, the food hygiene rating was 3 out of 5, we would not normally eat in such a place. Many expensive cars in the car park so we went in. We were found a table after a couple of minutes, the place was busy, the food being served looked good. Drinks arrived quickly, followed by the main course, all looked well except the side dish of potatoes didn’t arrive. We had to ask for them! My wife enjoyed her goats cheese and portobello mushroom meal, I however did not enjoy my ribeye steak from the special of the day board. Every mouthful of meat had some hard or stringy bits in it that I was unable to chew properly, either leaving it on the plate or swallowing it if possible. The staff were very busy and were scruffily dressed and obviously untrained for the job at hand, nobody checked with us while eating. Maybe I should have complained, but after seeing the calibre of staff I decided to finish our meal and leave. Outside is the local ferry and some lovely views, but I cannot recommend this place for either food or service.

Decent pub grub and beautiful views.

Finally got after many recommendations . Great food , great service and would highly recommend. 😊

Poor service. We waited an age for the table to be cleared and had to ask a waitress to do this having watched them ignore us for the best part of 30 minutes. The restaurant was not busy at the time. No specific desserts for children only smaller portions of the adult versions.

Excellent, as always. The food was superb, and there was plenty of it. Staff very helpful. The Point Bar is worth a visit!

Great place to eat and have a beer would recommend 100% if you ever get the chance to go

Folks, only giving this a one star as I want to share our experience. We are literally just out of the restaurant and we are appalled by the service. As we have been coming here for a while as we stay down here in summer months, we arrived today at a table booking for 15:30. We were brought down to our table (not asked did we want a drink) and sat for approx 15 minutes looking at a menu before being approached by a member of staff to take our order. After placing our order, we then sat for a further hour waiting and I decided to go and ask as the people beside us was wondering what was going on also. At this stage I had 2 drinks and I went to the manager and explained that I would pay the bill for the drinks and go elsewhere and I got an apology as one of the ‘new starts’ misplaced our order docket. So we ordered our food and the waitress that originally took our order came down and apologised and put the blame on someone else. At this stage I said don’t worry and I ordered another drink with her and she said don’t worry, I’ll get this drink for you. We were then approached by a waitress asking did we want desert, well a further 10/15 minutes past and still no menu left. When my other half went and asked for a desert menu she was told by the waitress ‘this isn’t your day is it’. We decided enough was enough and avoided desert and went to pay the bill and we were told one drink was being deducted for our troubles. Yes one pint. I paid the bill and spoke to the manager in the reception area and explained the situation as he was the one himself that said the rounds of drink prior to this would be excluded to be simply told, ‘I’m sorry about that’. More or less bye. The sickening thing is the food is good, however service is atrocious. My money can be spent elsewhere!!

My favourite is their unbeatable chowder .. Amazing!! Best chowder in the world ... and I have travelled. Staff were really friendly and helpful ... I will definitely be returning.

Ordered kids sausages and chips. Was given vinegar full of flies and child had already put all over her dinner, flies and all. Kids cheesy pasta was like rubber. Seafood chowder was the worst I’ve ever had with a consistency of porridge and tasteless with a few small flakes of salmon and 2 prawns, didn’t have a choice to change as they had no wheaten bread left so served it with burnt ciabatta without even asking. Steak was poor with limp old salad garnish, greasy chilli chips with too much chilli and chorizo sauce which was full of grease and too many big chunks for a sauce! Wont be back!

Everything in the place is lovely and food is very good,out side view of the south side of Ireland is stunning.service Great and price good

Lovely place situated right by lough Foyle looking over into Donegal. We booked in advance as we wanted to eat in the bar and we have two dogs The Point Bar is dog friendly. 2nd visit this year, my daughter had Salmon and prawns, with fries, my wife had chicken stack and skinny fries and I ordered the chilli beef pitta, salted chilli chips and a mixed salad. Honestly it was so tasty, my beef pitta was delicious, all three of us cleaned our plates. For all of that, plus 2 pints of 00 Guinness, 2 cokes, 2 x 250ml bottles of Chilean Sauvignon for £85. Staff very helpful, extremely friendly and polite. Def we will be back soon!

Beautiful views reasonably priced good food

We arrived on Saturday evening but hadn't booked. The manager was lovely and said he would do his best to get us a table as soon as possible. We only had to wait a few minutes. The food was lovely, and the atmosphere was cosy. Will definitely go back. Julie & Stephen.

Stopped for lunch at 12 o'clock before going over on the Lough Foyle ferry. Restaurant was chilly as it had just opened and raining outside. I did not realise there is a lunch menu as we were only given the full menu which is more pricey. However staff were pleasant and efficient; order came correctly, food was great and portions large! My chicken gougons were tender and nicely done and everyone enjoyed their meal. Happy to recommend and will definitely return.

Absolutely brilliant place food was great ,service was great ,and over all everything was first class and we will definitely will be back

Super good food, very good service, a little long but there are people that's normal and it's noisy so that's normal too

Point team never disappoints! Fabulous, friendly and efficient staff, kitchen team know what they're doing, food great. Busy as expected for the weekend but in this lovely setting with it's brilliant views, who cares! Keep er lit folks x

Best pint of Guiness I've had in a long time!

Excellent food, great service. Even though they were very busy the wait for food was quick. Very friendly and accommodating staff.

Great place. Beautiful scenery and nearby beach. Good grub, good Guinness and really polite staff. Great for a sunset over the mountains in the summer months. Ferry nearby to take you to and from Donegal.

We have eaten here before and food was always tasty in the past. Tonight pitta pocket was tough and stewed and chowder was far too thick and heavy. Such a disappointment on a beautiful evening!

Took the ferry over from Greencastle. Lovely meal. Just a little slow on service but we we’re not in a hurry.

Staff clearly very stressed even with quite a few empty tables. Waiter who said us down was super rude and argued quite a bit with us that we didn’t tell him we had a pram with us when requesting a table and this seemed to be a major issue. It was super embarrassing and I just felt a little like babies weren’t welcome - I’m still getting used to baby life with a 4 month old and this was one of our first trips out for dinner as family of 3. Food and Guinness were lovely but staff really made it a horrible experience for us and definitely wouldn’t be back unfortunately.

Lovely spot to eat after a day on the beach. No take outs and you have to ring to book a table or you will be turned away. Food was very nice, very busy restaurant. Got some of our order wrong but can understand it as the staff are rushed off their feet. Friendly staff. A bit pricey but will definitely return when we're down again. 🤤👍

Really lovely pub to have a good drink

Dined here last Sunday with family. Service and food were both first class. There was seven of us, drinks, main courses desserts and teas/coffees were ordered. The food orders were all correct and served at the one time. Wait times were very reasonable and the food was delicious. Given how busy the restaurant was the manager and staff did a fabulous job. Well done to all.

Friendly, accommodating and prompt. Fresh Donegal fish a speciality. The cod is recommended whether the pan fried or battered dish. Simply amazing. Great chef.

Four of us went there last evening and all ordered different meals.As usual the chowder was excellent and my cod fillet perfection. All enjoyed their meals and as usual despite the restaurant being very busy the service was very good and served by such a friendly staff.

Excellent food definitely recommend

Friendly staff and the food was great.

Amazing food staff very helpful and friendly 👌

Very tasty lovely ferry across from Redcastle 👌👌

Brilliant place to visit, the food was excellent and the staff were so very helpful, kind and friendly. Highly recommend the Point Bar & Restaurant. Keep up the great work and thanks for a lovely evening

Lock of food by the sea and a dog walk after to burn off the calories cause I'm a fat mess. Great service as always and great food!

Great spot. Guinness could be better.

A favourite stop off for us. Great Guinness, food and service.

Busy, slightly harassed staff, zero view, but great food. Combined with the ferry trip it was a four star day out.

Delicious food. The ale pie is highly recommended. Cozy place on the water, fireplace and friendly staff

Have to say food wasn't good here this evening been here be4 and food was first class people sitting at tables no drink steak was bad and desert was also bad very disappointed as apple pie was burnt don't think I'll be back a lot of staff walking around doing nothing

Changed since I was last there, food still very nice but not much choice for draft. £50 for two mains & 2 drinks.

Great little bar and restaurant friendly staff really busy though food was lovely

Lovely meal. Very busy booking recommended though we managed to get a table. Thank you to all the staff

Best food we've had out in a long time Everything about this place was outstanding

The tea is absolutely dreadful, tastes like it was made from the hot water tank in an airing cupboard! Very metallic and unfresh. The chowder was a disappointment too unfortunately, however the chicken goujons and homemade triple-cooked chips were cooked to perfection. The coffee was acceptable although the blend used wasn't anything special, maybe they don'tdrinkcoffee themselves? But for a warm atmosphere from both staff and regular customers, this place is top notch in that regard. The prices are reasonable in my opinion, the COL crisis affects everyone and as such cutbacks have to be made to allow the business to survive.

Beautiful food and great service 😋

Food was beautiful service was great we definitely be back

An adorably quaint little place with some beautiful views, even if the weather isn't perfect. The service is very friendly and welcoming, and the food sublime! Well worth a visit and I will absolutely be back!

Lovely bar and restaurant and they make excellent cocktails. Brilliant scenery and lovely beach

Lovely food and doggy friendly 😃

1st time back in over a year. Went elsewhere because I felt the standard had fallen of a cliff. Tonight was bunged being Paddy's night so I am guarded about what I want to say. Standard is better than last season, but still just OK. It's not enough to pay over the odds and travel the distance. The steak was just OK, the pepper sauce was poor but the tobacco onions were very good. Service was good considering the crowd and staff were professional, if a little rushed. I will reserve proper judgement until I go on a weekday or any day accept a public holiday. I do generally like this place, love its location and the atmosphere, just wish I could rave about the food, unfortunately at this time I can't.

Beautiful food and fantastic staff with amazing views highly recommended

Lovely walk on beach, lovely food in point bar excellent service, relaxed atmosphere, can't wait for my next visit

Love it here. Being local, I'd heard lots of great things about this place. Was glad to visit again recently for my second time. Staff are friendly and very attentive. Food menu is just the right size - not so long that you're paralysed by choice yet enough variety to prevent it from being boring. Relaxed atmosphere. Reasonable prices. My favourite thing about here is that it's not fancy food, it's not trying to be something it isn't, it's just honest freshly cooked food. Good location, easy to get to by car and plenty of parking. I will be back soon! Highly recommended.

Excellent food and drink at this pub/restaurant. Have a walk on the beach beforehand, the historical Martello tower. We sat in the bar area for Saturday lunch. Staff were attentive and friendly. Food was delicious and the Guinness was great!

Cosy pub with an open fire. Has parking. Right by the ferry pier, and the beach.

Always have a good meal here, chowder is really good, fish dishes are consistently good and had duck special recently and it was very good. Nice relaxed atmosphere and staff friendly.

Great atmosphere, great food, very helpful staff. Highly recommend this place.

Great food great staff really enjoyed it.

Haven't been here for a while so on a wet and windy Saturday was looking forward to a pint in a warm and friendly atmosphere whilst watching the wild weather outside !!!! Checked Google maps and found it was open only to arrive there after a 20 minute drive to discover a note on the door saying it was closed between 9th and 18th Jan 2023 ... Perhaps the owners can update Google Maps when they are away in order to let tourists and others know .... Hopefully will be back after the 18th !!!

A very friendly environment and a tasty menu.

Traditionally we like to go on New Year's eve with our friends to the Point. Once again we were not to be disappointed, food, hospitality was excellent. I would recommend the beef and Guinness pie with champ.

Beautiful place, amazing food and good prices. Have been there a few times now and will definitely be going back.

Was very disappointed in my meal in the Point last Sunday night. Mmy girlfriends salmon was beautifully cooked and she said delicious, but unfortunately my 8oz steak left a lot to be desired. It was very thin and 50% fat,which I had to leave on the plate. I didn't complain as I've had a few good meals there in the past, and they were very busy, but I'm not sure if I'll go back there again

Food was delicious staff very welcoming and professional would highly recommend

Very good food, very friendly staff, clean and very comfortable

Used to come here for Sunday lunch on many occasions a few years ago. However due to cancer (myself) and wife's disablement I have not been here lately, boy, how I miss their Lemon Sole (the best anywhere in Northern Ireland). Try it you will always remember it. The staff are probably the friendliest and helpful anywhere in the country.
