Best food I’ve had since I arrived in Ireland 4 days ago and all the food we have had has been really good. We were driving from Sligo to Bushmills and decided to stop for some food and we couldn’t have stopped anywhere better. I had the Pepper Steak sandwich and my wife had the lasagna. So much but so delicious. Super friendly staff as well.

Had such an amazing meal tonight at the Well! First time trying the Mexican stack. It was so flavourful. Spicy but not too hot. I enjoyed every bite. The staff are always super friendly. Will be back soon! Thanks again for a lovely evening!

What a fantastic place. 27 of us visited on Saturday lunch time as we were there as part of a group who travelled from the UK for a Wedding on Friday and day 2 of the celebrations were being held in the large room upstairs. The staff were excellent and really polite and the food was fantastic, I had the pie of the day which was steak and veg, I have never seen so much steak in a pie and of course the Guinness was great, my wife had the steak sandwich, and my daughter had the burger and they were happy to remove some of the items as she is a fussy eater, both said their meals were excellent along with everyone else in the group. We later attended the 2nd part of the wedding weekend in the large room upstairs which was perfect. I would recommend anyone to eat and drink at the Well Bar & Grill if you are in the area, Great Staff and a Great Choice On The Menu Which Is Well Cooked & Presented.

We've been a few times for food and it never disappoints, yesterday was our first time trying the carvery and it was delicious. Great portions sizes, excellent choice from pork, fish, turkey etc and lovely friendly staff. All food is fresh, piping hot and the gravy and roast turkey are to die for. You can choose from 1, 2 or 3 courses and they accept walk-ins. We will most definitely be back.

There are carvery restaurants that are average but this one, on this particular Sunday, was outstanding. Delicious roasts with choices of beef, chicken and pork. Lovely veggie plates for my daughter with the chef pointing out to her that the gravy was veggie friendly too. So much meat that many would find it difficult to finish as none of us did manage it. No problem as doggie boxes are available. Service was so professional but very friendly. Lovely restaurant with a slight art deco appearance, unusual for Northern Ireland. Looking for to our next visit.

Definitely the best food for miles around. Fabulous quality ingredients, fantastic presentation and very reasonable price. We eat out a lot and this pub/restaurant is by far the best around. We've never had a bad meal yet, it is head and shoulders above the rest. We have eaten in both the bar and restaurant and the food is the same quality as the restaurant. It never disappoints. 5 star food for pub prices. Can't recommend it highly enough.

One of the nicest steaks I have ever had with a choice of sauce (Ihad bushmills sauce- Carmel had pepper] washed down with a decent bottle of wine for £29. We made the mistake - if that’s appropriate- Of gorging up on starter.....so there was no room for dessert.....so another bottle of wine ordered......The rest is history.....and Carmel’s birthday is coming up.....

The food in the well is to die for....hard to get a table at weekends....recommend the Steaks deals although I’ve never been disappointed with the food However the bar isn’t as busy now as it used to be, perhaps it’s the range of beers, some regular favourites disappearing, perhaps it’s the clientele themselves and I see there’s a pool table now,there wasn’t before, and the juke box is no longer free. To be honest I think the beer is dear....hotel prices in a public bar.....however the entertainment on Saturday nights is brilliant....great live groups

We were in Limavady for a mini break and visited on a Tuesday evening and ordered for the 30% off menu (which I think runs Tues-Thurs evenings). This menu was incredible value. The serving staff were really lovely and very efficient, and the food was fantastic. Beautifully presented (amazing wee finishing touches such as pea shoots and edible flowers), beautifully cooked, obviously fresh. We had a fantastic meal. Portion sizes were very generous. I was particularly impresses by the gorgeous looking portions of freshly battered cod that arrived at a neighbouring table, but I was more than happy with my own choice 'cock and bull' - a steak and chicken breast combination, with tobacco onions, roasted cherry tomatoes and choice of sauce and side. So tasty. I had the 'Well Crunch' for dessert which was out of this world - large glass sundae bowl overflowing with ice-cream, fresh cream, meringues, homemade honeycomb chunks and chocolate and toffee sauce. I should have actually taken a picture! Scrumptious! Daughter had the chocolate fudge cake and thought it was gorgeous too. The quality and value was superb. I hope I will be back.

Four of had starters and mains here. It was my first time eating in The Well restaurant. I got the soup with bread to start, and salmon with garlic chips as a main. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the perfect amount of cabbage etc accompanied it. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I feel like the place needs some natural light as it was dark inside.

The service in this bar was truly awful.

Luckily the food was amazing, and the menu quite varied, otherwise we would have walked out

While visiting family in Northern Ireland we stopped at the Well bar & grill twice. The first time was for lunch where I had some chicken wings that were done to perfection and some fish and chips which was the best I had while in the UK. Everything was freshly made and cooked perfectly. The servings were of a good size and the staff were very friendly and efficient. There were specials on that day for lunch which made it even better. We liked it so much that we booked the family in for the Sunday Carvery. This is all you can eat and all the food was fantastic, being hot and served fresh. The roast beef melted in my mouth, my wife had lamb which she loved with all the traditional trimmings like roast potatoes, carrots, brussels, yorkshire puddings etc. I will make it a point to return here on my next trip to Ireland.

Son took me out my birthday meal (late) to The Well Bar & Grill. We were welcomed by a staff member who seemed genuinely pleased to see us. We were seated, given menus offered drinks and informed of the daily specials. The menu was above average for choice. Meals were served very quickly and food was delicious. Food was fresh and well prepared and portions were more than sufficient. Prices were really keen and we were pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the meal and service we received. It is a little gem. I would highly recommend it and will be back in the not too distant future.

Stopped in here first time today for evening meal. And to say disappointed would be an understatement food very average and fajita wrap had something blue on it...... can’t work out if it was mould or something else....‍♀️tho they seemed very fresh so I really don’t know ‍♀️ I didn’t notice it till I’d just finished eating and couldn’t be bothered mentioning it as we knew we’d never be back here. Then to add insult to injury..... when paying the girl couldn’t get the card reader to work creating a fuss‍♀️really embarrassing! Had to get another gentleman to to try fix it.... I assume to be the manager. To which he did get it to work. When my partner asked what happens if the failed attempts do go through what should he do? The man said you’ll have to prove it..... lol a bank statement or something! So to that we definitely decided we won’t be back. Such a pity

So went in today for a late lunch with friends and to be honest it was like the guy behind the bar didn’t want to bother and like it was effort to serve us. I’m on a clean diet and the lunch menu was also very poor selection, no salads and no option to order anything off the evening menu. I never even asked about the possibility of that as the barman was just plain rude.. The food was ok, but nothing special and I can honestly say I won’t be in a hurry back. Only for being so hungry and out in an unfamiliar area I’d have walked out and went elsewhere. And after having read such great reviews about this place disappointment is an understatement

I’ve been here a few times and food has been good! Went on Sunday with my family and was very disappointed so to start of with our starter was soup and it was cold only thing warm was the butter! Then we where about to go for our dinner when we seen an icecream tub being lifted out from under the carvey stall which had cream potatoes in it when I say cream potatoes I mean runny cold water like smash!!! It just slid out of the tub!!! Then seen the chef takin a baking tray out and taking the last of the roast beef that had broken away during cooking and pulling it off the tin foil and settin it with the rest of the meat! Yet they where still allowing people to walk in at 3 for a carvery even no they where gettin the scraps of food left over!! It was that bad between 4 of us we got enough roast beef to fed about 1 adult and gammon that had more fat than meat! Was so mad I just wanted to leave only thing good about the food was the dessert but even at that dessert wasn’t worth £14.50! Get ur act 2gether and if u don’t have enough good quality food to feed people near end of Garvey then turn them away instead of letting people eat scraps!

Visited last night with family in the evening. We were seated, ordered a drink, given menus and then told it would be a 20 min wait as chef had a table of 19 to deal with first. Surely 19 is no problem the restaurant wasn't packed. We decided to stay and ordered our food, it arrived 1/2 an hour later. Food was okay if you are looking for something basic, don't bother with the spicy cod if you like fish because you won't taste the fish. It was overpowered with spice :( not to mention served with mushrooms in the sauce (cod and mushrooms? Not for my palate) that said I ate it, I was hungry and it wasn't awful. My main issue with this place would be the side dishes, such a tiny portion def not enough for a man or growing boys. I would probably try it again but wouldn't be in a hurry.

I am generalising the service as 'terrible' but it is in reference to one waitress in particular, she had a dreadful attitude. Firstly we had a very long wait, the children began to get restless after approx 50 mins, when I asked if they could, at least, try to serve the children their meal, the said 'waitress' butted in to my conversation with another and informed me that we were waiting a long time because we had a starter (um apology to the customer? No, it was our fault). So, another 30 minutes pass, no explanation etc, children are really restless, heightening our anxiety plus the exceptionally long wait, we again report this, to a very pleasant staff member now. She then goes to investigate (which the Waitress, who butted in previously, should of really done), now we are told that the Waiter who took our plate did not ring the bell. Now, is there no system whereby ANYONE, never mind the professionals, should look, see a docket or food, sitting for an hour and maybe ask the service staff to check if the man who had garlic cheesy bread, one hour prior, is finished!!!!!!! maybe put that in the suggestions box. So EVENTUALLY our food arrives, my elderly father has his bread roll threw onto the table (no plate for buttering on, nor spoon, my sister had to retrieve that for them), I should add that we are again being served by the Waitress who really should not be serving the public. My sister makes a couple of requests and has the most shirty, ugly attitude. My sister spoke with a member of staff about this girl but to no avail. The food was ok, not enough to overlook the disgusting attitude of this staff member. I think we will be driving past The Well from now on. It ruined our day and we all went home drained and in quite poor form.

Perhaps I got them on a bad day but I am shocked by the attitude of the chef in this restaurant. My daughter took me for lunch to celebrate my birthday I ordered Fish & Chips and my daughter ordered Chicken goujons with chips. The meals came in good time and they looked good. The fish was very slightly greasy but it tasted lovely the batter was really light and crisp the chips and mushy peas were as expected. However, the Chicken goujons were a different story the batter on them tasted like cardboard had the texture of cardboard and were not at all nice to eat so two of them were left on the plate. When the waitress came to clear the plates she asked if everything was alright and we told her we were unhappy with the chicken goujons as they were like cardboard she said she would tell the chef she took our plates and went to the kitchen. When she returned she said the chef had said there was nothing wrong with the chicken it was the batter that was bad (as if that made it alright) He didn't even have the decency to apologise. We had intended to ask for the desert menu but were so disgusted with the appalling attitude we paid the bill and left. We will never be back in this resturant again.

This is a general review of the Well - My partner and I have been to this place on many occasions and not once in about 15 visits has it let us down.Food - always excellent and plates warm, this seems to be an issue for many restaurants who serve food on cold plates.Staff - without doubt the best part of the restaurant, from the chefs and kitchen staff to the waitresses et al; always smiling, helpful and not over efficient whereby you cant eat in peace, cant be faulted.Value - again scores very highly esp. the steak deal on a Saturday nightDecor - the only slight minus in the overall score; its a bit dated but to be fair when the staff and food are that good then who really cares.Keep up the good work one and all

Recently (Monday 11 July) we had lunch in this wonderful restaurant. It was my first and it will most certainly not be my last visit.The restaurant has a really nice interior and the welcome from the staff present (everyone) was really nice.Drinks ordered and arrived quickly. The menu selection was more than ample and also had two specials available.We ordered off the menu and after about 25 minutes our meals arrived. We didn't have any worries waiting, as we were not in a hurry, the reason for the time from order to arrival of our meals became very clear, everything was obviously made fresh!It was worth the wait as both of the meals were delicious and had more than ample portions. The 'sides' were an extra cost and this made our meal a little more than other places i have dined in recently, BUT, the little extra was more than made up for by the quality of the meals received.To sum up, if you are stuck for time, ask before ordering the delivery time of your meal, because as i have said earlier, our meals were fresh and this takes time.The staff were very competent and courteous. We believe the server is a recent employee, she was more than capable and even had time for a short chat, she is certainly an asset to the restaurant.The restaurant has a really nice 'feel good factor'.There is ample parking onsite.

Each time I have tried something different from steaks, chicken dishes and sea food. Their bar menu is very good also offering great value for money. I have taken my friends and family to this place aswell and they all agree the food is fabulous. In particular the desserts have always been something we look forward too. I don't live very close to the well bar and grill but when I'm up this part of the country I always make a point of coming in for food.

We decided to have an office party in the The Well, since we had heard it had recently been renovated, and it was one of those "times" of the year. Very well treated by the staff, good customer service and food nice large portions as well as being excellent to eat. Wee private bar for us and all within a decent budget price. Some of us stayed on till the wee hours!

The Well Bar and Grill is an excellent venue for an evening out whether you just want a drink and take in the local atmosphere or whether you want a meal. The place has a welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff. There are bar meals and a full menu restaurant to meet most peoples needs. They also have an early bird time Monday to Friday which makes meals even better value. Meals are of excellent quality, well cooked and served hot (very hot in the case of the sizzling platter!). Excellent value for money. The bar has a great atmosphere and you will be welcome by the staff and the locals who will strike up a conversation with you if you want.

This was my first visit to Ballykelly. We were staying with friends and spent the best part of our evenings in the "Well" as it's known locally. Our first visit to the Well was to the Pub and it's at this junture it should be said that friendliness of the staff was second to none, the service in the bar was excellent, we of course had to drink Guinness, now I'm not a lover of the "Black Stuff" but I'm a convert now, it was like drinking velvet and because of the nature of this wonderful brew after our order had been taken we asked to sit down and our Guinness would be brought to our table to allow the beer to be poured and settle properly. The restaurant: we ate in the restaurant three times and according to my companions their food was excellent, the portions were more than enough for the big eater and tasted great, however beware of the sizzling beef plater it is hot and spicy as was the chicken pasta dish. I for my part can highly recommend the seafood chowder, it was very tasty and was a substantial portion, on another night I plumped for their haddock and chips, it was freshly cooked and again hot and delightful to taste.Service: the staff were all very attentive and friendly we were greeted at the door and made feel welcome and served with smiling staff, our food was brought quickly and there was no shortage of staff to serve drinks during our meal.The facilities: the restaurant is wheelchair friendly with enough room between tables to manoeuvre, the toilets were spotless and fragrant. We all enjoyed our visits to The Well Bar And Grill and is to be recommended for the efforts they put in to make guests feel at ease.

We have been a few times now. Normally fairly good service with a helpful friendly smile. This time we got a waitress that really seemed like she didn't want to be there. any questions we asked about the food, were answered with 'i don't know'. She wasn't listening when we I ordering and as a result she brought out the wrong food for my eldest daughter. When we said that it was not what we had ordered she proceeded to argue that we were wrong and to show us her order pad. Food also wasn't up to the standard it usually has been. Pitty that one staff member can taint the reputation of what has been an enjoyable restaurant in previous visits.

Went there for first time on Sunday and definitely will be back. It was busy but that did not affect the service. Waiter was very helpful and friendly. We shared the fish cake for starter. You get two big fish cakes and they were really tasty. Carvery had great choice of meats and even had Salmon which was lovely. Good selection of veg and they give you big plate full. Desert we both had the cheese cake. I could hardly move after eating all that but it was well worth it and look forward to returning.

Went to the Well Bar & Grill as a friend has recommended it to us. Stopped in on the way home from shopping for a quick bite to eat. Had the chicken escalope which was lovely. Really clean restaurant and great value for money with big portions. The only thing letting the meal down was that it took quite a long time for the food to arrive at our table. If this had not been the case I would have awarded a rating of Excellent.

Have become a regular visitor. Varied menu with plenty of choice for everyone. Clean modern surroundings, high quality decor. Good value for money as portions are very generous. Service always efficient and very friendly. Seafood chowder a big hit with our party. Only thing I'd love to see would be a nice curry/Thai curry and rice dish.

Called in with my daughter and grand-daughter. I had the seafood chowder which was very good, my daughter had a chilli chickend dish which came with rice and chips, too much. Grand-daughter had steak, as usual. Great service and very pleasant staff.

Visited with my family. Staff were extremely rude, and one particular member of staff seemed to target my elderly grandfather in particular for no reason at all. When we made management aware of this, they did not seem to care. Other people I have spoke with have also had incidents with this member of staff. Chicken goujons were so hard they were inedible.

My wife Susan and I got a great welcome last Saturday, 18th July, 2015 after arriving around 6pm soaked through at the end of a return walk from Ballykelly car park to the top of Loughermore. I had the Dublin Bay prawns starter and the surf n'turf main course along with a few pints of Guinness. The steak was done perfectly rare just as I had ordered as was Susan's medium rare choice. She also enjoyed her colcannon soup starter as well as her gin and tonics. Appreciated not having to have to re-locate to the restaurant, but could remain with the good company in the bar. Staff and customers all very welcoming and accommodating as well as excellent food. The food was of a far higher standard and of far higher generous portions than many a so-called posh restaurant in Glasgow and Edinburgh. They could learn a thing or six from the Well.The sauces were perfect too. I had pepper and my wife had chorizo. We both had excellent champ as well. This made my 56th birthday all the more enjoyable. So enjoyable, we had a second meal on Wednesday, 22nd July on the eve of our return flight from Derry to Glasgow. This time we had the early bird menu. We both had the vegetable soup starter and the steak and chicken combo main course. I had pepper sauce and Susan had gravy - both top notch. Had the excellent champ again. I had a cracking ice-cream dessert laced with Baileys - excellent excuse for a glass of the same with ice to wash it down. Guinness and Gin & Tonics were great too. Susan had a dairy-free dessert which was great. For £12.50 for 3 courses 5-7pm, mon-fri, the early bird menu is really something else. Again, staff relaxed about us having it in the bar rather than having to move to the restaurant. Love the flexibility. All the best for the future.Love, Michaerl and Susan Brolly, Glasgow

We arrived here on a busy Sunday evening with no booking. The restaurant was busy, and had no two seated tables free. The staff pulled a big table apart and made space for us. Food was of excellent quality and prepared the way you ask - I am a picky eater. We had mains and desserts plus 2 pints and a coke, the bill came to £36, which we thought was very reasonable. This is my second time eating here and we would definitely returned and would recommend to others.

last minute decision to try the Well Bar and Grill for dinner on Friday 26th June 2015 , and we were not disappointed! Chose our main courses from the Early Bird Menu and were amazed to hear that we also got starter and desert FREE!A varied menu made it hard to choose, but we opted for sizzling beef fajita and haddock and chips. The food was amazing, service faultless, and the portions were huge!Will be back again soon!

Visited today for daughter in laws birthday. Very disappointed. We have eaten here regularly for years on numerous occasions and have always had lovely experience. Food has always been great and staff always lovely. But on last couple of visits have found service poor, staff too busy and food not up to usual standard. Was hoping this was just a blip and decided to give it another go today. Unfortunately today was so so disappointing. Our food was such a long time coming and when it did arrive it was not hot and quite greasy. Looked like it had been sitting out too long. So sad as the location is fabulous!!
