Timberquay in Derry

Great deals, delicious food, friendliest staff and amazing views. 5 starts all round

Average fair, expensive side dishes.

Lovely restaurant on the banks of the Foyle

Great aesthetic and atmosphere along with excellent service

So helpful staff and great food

Just been to Timber Quay for an early dinner, have to say absolutely brilliant, great food, great service. Louisiana chicken seasoned perfectly and beautifully cooked, tender and juicy. Vegetarian curry, the best in town, sauce perfect, not to thin, not to thick, beautiful seasoned vegetables, and fluffy rice. Will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend Timber Quay.

Love this place, food is first class. You're not crammed in and the staff are great

Really lovely food. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal with exceptional service. All staff very attentive and friendly. Pricing is tremendous value for money. We will certainly be coming back again after this visit.

What's not to like £5 lunch. Lovely setting, decent service, quality food for the money. No complaints

A very relaxing atmosphere with a nice view of the river. Very helpful staff and no rush to get you in and out of the place. Great selection of food and drink. You can also dine outside when the weather permits. Everything from a coffee break to a full 3 course meal. Reasonably priced. Disabled access so you can bring everyone.

An elegant dining experience by the water. We were with a large tour group and the restaurant quickly had us seated. The food was served to everyone at the same time. Louisiana chicken had a nice Cajun sauce that wasn’t too hot.

Saturday 5£ lunch menu is just mind-blowing. Will probably come back next week 🤣

The food was good and the staff professional. I didn't care for the loud music.

Fast and friendly service, delicious food and generous portions! £5 lunch (sides extra) is a bargain! New lunchtime favourite place 🤗

Popped in for some lunch we took advantage of the £5 lunch menu. Loads to choose from and the kids meals was a massive portion. Would definitely recommend and will be back. Staff were lovely and a pleasure to be around so helpful and nice 🙂 we paid £38 for 4 adults and 2 children. Amazing value

Quality service and food to wet the appetite!

The Timberquay restaurant is a fantastic place to eat. The staff are very helpful and service is excellent. The £10 menu is amazing value for money. The food was fresh and homemade of excellent quality Fresh homemade chips. Desserts were also homemade and tasted fabulous. I look forward to returning again very soon.

What an amazing wee gem. Went for a casual Saturday lunch. I was handed a lunch menu with everything just £5. We weren't hopeful of having much at that price but couldn't have been more wrong. The food was delicious and plentiful, and the service was great, too. We will definitely be back.

My and my partner went to Timberquay for the Valentines special deal. The food was top class and the service was amazing. Will be returning soon.

Really good food, brilliant fast service and I enjoy their £5 lunch deals 😍⭐️

Food and staff amazing today x our table of six were truly well looked after, will be back very soon. Thankyou

Had lunch here today with our two young boys, 5 and 3. The staff were so friendly and made an effort with our kids. Give us a table that meant we werent bothering any other customers, and seated us at a table of our choice. The food was beautiful, absolute bargain and was so tasty. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back; in fact I'd say Timberquay is our go to place for lunch now.

Really good food and the service is excellent. Just had lunch there and it was a lovely experience. Will definitely be back.

Our company booked into Timberquay for our Christmas do. The food and service was amazing. After the meal was music and dancing. I hadn't considered it as a venue for a party of 40 or more people, but they were amazing. Very much recommend 👌

Me, my boyfriend and our friend went for some food, as we usually do. My boyfriend found a piece of fluff in his Guinness, when our food arrived my friends chips weren’t cooked and were hard, i got my sandwich and there was a piece of saran wrap in my sandwich.

Great restaurant to visit definitely worth a visit, excellent staff service, beautiful food and great value definitely worth a visit

Ceasar Salad was a bowl of lettuce- returned. Salmon was dry and overcooked. Waitresses were apathetic and disorganised. Restaurant managers scruffy outfit, not appropriate for his role

So I got a burger and my friend got some battered haddock. My burger was lovely, great size and all. But the bloody size of my friends haddock was only a little larger than two fish fingers. I love to look out at the quay and all. The service by the waiters were grand as well. I would come back but not order them fish fingers.

We went to Timberquay as one of the group had been there twice recently and had a great experience- definitely not this time. The restaurant was cold, we had to ask for the heating to be turned up. They couldn’t do cocktails as the bar person had gone home ( the place was not busy). Three of the mains had to be sent back as the chicken was cold, never a good thing. They did apologise and dishes were recooked, just meant one in the group having to eat on their own - not ideal. The cost of two starters was deducted from the bill by way of apology- which was appreciated. The waitress was very pleasant and did apologise again but there was an issue in the kitchen if three dishes were returned for the same reason. The overall price was reasonable but overall a disappointing experience.

Had a lovely lunch with work friends. As it was lunch time service was very quick which suited perfect. Food was fresh and perfect lunch portions. Will definitely be back

Finally found a place that does good food! Had the 5£ lunch special, chicken burger was juicy and had proper chicken breast, the steak and mushroom pie was very nice as was the toastie. Will be back

Lovely restaurant and the food is unbeatable. We had the spiced tomato soup, ceasar salad, fish tacos and Louisiana chicken and everything was delightful. Ordinarily, I hate tomato soup, but I could have eaten a bucketful of this one. Amazing. The fish in the tacos was crunchy and flavourful, but something in the toppings left a bit of a strange aftertaste. Not bad; I would order them again, but they'd be nicer without the bitter aftertaste. I ordered fries as my side and they were the tiniest bit undercooked. Nothing special, but they're french fries; you know what you're going to get with them. Portion sizes are reasonable as are the prices and the server was friendly and attentive. Can't wait to go back. Even with the small flaws I mentioned above, I still give it a 10/10.

So disappointed with my seemingly £5 lunch, which cost me £8.50. Not even a chip for sides. Will never return.

Amazing customer service, delicious food in a wonderful atmosphere!

Excellent food. We ordered lamb with mashed potato & veggies. Outstanding. The service was impeccable--very efficient and knowledgeable wait staff. Wonderful decor and ambiance. Without a doubt, the best restaurant we dined at while in Ireland. Overall, a great experience.

Thanks to staff for the warm friendly atmosphere and the food was delicious....we got items from £5 menu...the roasted tomato soup and steak & mushroom pie was divine .. ....my grandson was 3 today and we had a lovely family meal...delightful!!

AMAZINGGGGG!!!! We have been touring all over Ireland for 15 days, and this is by far my favorite restaurant that we have been to thus far. Steak was cooked perfectly, dessert was excellent, singing and harp playing were a beautiful accompaniment to dinner. Everyone in our group had an excellent time. If I had to make a "complaint", it would be that they didn't offer us post dinner tea or coffee. But otherwise the service, the food, and the ambience were all outstanding.

Recently visited with my 2 sisters and had a wonderful evening. Our meals were very tasty and the staff were very attentive. They even offered to swap my meal out when I found the Louisiana chicken to be spicier than expected. A little sour cream did the trick, though, for my palette. The views are gorgeous, and I love that the tables are well spaced from each other. Will definitely choose this restaurant in the future.

The service was excellent as was the food. We both had the salmon. Beautiful restaurant. I would highly recommend this restaurant while in Derry.

The best spot in town for any family occassion or casual lunch. We would always go here and the staff are so friendly and will get anything sorted for you. They are also very disabled friendly with spots outside and free carpark around the corner. The view of the foyle and boats is my favourite thing too.

Excellent meal, great choice on menu. Worth booking ahead as its a busy spot.

We had an excellent meal as always. I had Louisiana chicken which was so tender and tasty. My husband had a steak which was perfectly cooked to his taste. Wine was excellent especially his Malbec. Great cosy atmosphere and and definitely our favourite local restaurant.

Top Quality steak with fast service and friendly staff

We visited here on the 4th of August, for pre wedding day dinner with family from Derry and Liverpool, can only say what a great experience we had here the welcome was great the staff are amazing and the food was great, highly recommend and definitely will be back.

Was pleasantly surprised when i popped in for lunch today & tried the marinated chicken tacos from their everything for a fiver lunch menu. Two substantial tacos loaded with filling & extra mayo on the side, delicious. I tried their ceasar salad side with it which was equally delicious. Fresh crunchy salad with lovely toasted crutons, bacon. Sauce delicately dressed the leaves without being too much & topped with grated parmesan cheese. Was just as it should be not vinegary or overdressed. The amount of chilli in the tacos was just right not overdone. There was more in the bowl of salad, I took the photo after a few mouthfuls 😄 The tacos & salad paired very well with the dragon fruir cooler which i had with my meal. I highly recommend the tacos. I went on to have a flat white which was very nice served with a shortbread biscuit & a creme brulee with raspberries & a creme anglais with raspberry coulis, vanilla ice cream, biscuit crumb & shortbread biscuit which rounded off the meal perfectly, yum I'll be back. Definitely worth a visit. Inside & outside dining area. Friendly informative staff. Riverside view from inside & outside restaurant. Lovely beachy mural on wall inside dining area.

Great meal for a huge group, everyone so nice, quick service and great food! Highly recommend!

Disappointed!! Nowhere near the level of what I had expected. Not really about the customer but more about satisfying themselves! Asked for a cappuccino after my meal which felt like a chore, I don’t know if the machine had been off or cleaned or what but after a large party of people spending a rather large amount of money on food and drinks you would expect more. I found no difficulty with the staff who were all great but more so the manager to be honest, very disappointing and will NOT be back

Our tour group ate at Timberquay for dinner. The meal was very good. Service was fantastic and greatly enjoyed our time there. Dez was was fun to talk with and made sure we had everything we needed.

Had an unexpected half day today and availed of the five pound lunch menu, with my son. The food was tasty, plentiful and piping hot. The service was also very good, the girls were friendly and efficient at their jobs. Looking forward to another visit soon.

Haven't been here in a while. Follow on instagram and decided to get it a try again. Food was very good. Kids meals excellent. Service was fast and friendly, great place. I will be back.

The peppered chips, delicious. Southern fried chicken burger the best I have ever had. Very friendly staff too. Its incredibly cheap but don't let that put you off.

Lovely meal in lovely place. Very efficient staff. Could do with some air conditioning

Tried it based on Google reviews as we needed a stop off on way home from Derrybeg. We weren't disappointed - lovely food, great service and great atmosphere. Good menu including kids .menu.

Very nice restaurant. Impeccable service.

Great services, good meal, inexpensive. Perfect. No complaints

Wonderful food. Great service. Appreciate the efficiency of the staff. Warm friendly staff made our large party reservation feel warm and welcomed.

We had a fabulous dining experience this evening. The food was delicious (we had the salmon and steak) and the service impeccable. We also enjoyed a delightful conversation with the friendly staff. We are visiting from Canada and would recommend this restaurant to locals and tourists alike. Thank you.

Went in for lunch deals Tuesday till Friday £5 main and if u add side 2.95 so lunch is less than £10 and really tasty

food is ok but it does reflect the price

Lovely place, nice & spacious with friendly staff. Food was nice nothing amazing but also pleasant price at the end 👍

Great service and food excellent. Battered haddock was so good. Batter was thin and crispy as it should be. My wife had haddock tacos which were also very good.

Have eaten here on a number of occasions , excellent food, good variety, staff are very attentive and pleasant, it's nice when members such as Des remembers patrons and welcomes them back ! Highly recommended !

Went there with a large group for dinner. The food was outstanding and the staff friendly and attentive. Beautiful atmosphere with with a warm, modern feel that looks out to some spectacular scenery.

I’ve been to this restaurant loads of times and it never disappoints. Tonight I got the chicken wings to start and the chicken pitta pocket with garlic chips for main. All the food tasted fresh and it was all gorgeous. Really reasonably priced too. My partner got a cocktail and said it was really good and at £7.50 it’s a bargain! Honestly give this place a go. The service was brilliant too… I didn’t get the name of the women who mainly served us but want to say thank you for being so helpful and friendly.

The £5 lunch meal is phenomenal value for money. The food quality is excellent and portion sizes are healthy too. We try to go at least once a week. Service is always great too

We arrived with a huge high school group. They had created a menu for us with many dietary choices to streamline getting orders from over 80 guests. The food was very good and the staff was incredibly friendly. And, they had an amazing cheesecake with...

Had a very off putting experience very recently here. i had a table booked for the time i had arrived, when we arrived the manager was sitting at a table on the left laughing away for about 5 minutes before getting up to seat us. Once seated we were shown a two course menu, that gives the option of a starter and a main, or a main and a dessert. I asked the manager if i could order two courses from the set menu as that what was given to us but if i could order a dessert from the full price menu also to make it a three course meal. The very arrogant manager cut me dead and said that it was not possible at all. Now, this is on a specials night, where there was only 2 other tables...and i couldnt order extra food from the full price menu???? Never have i met a manager to turn down money on a busy night never mind a dead specials night. The service this man gave me and my partner was the worst i had ever experienced. Every time i asked a question the manager would cut me off with "thank you very much" and walk away before i even get to finish my question and did this for almost every conversation throughout the night. I will never ever return, not until i hear of better service, which doesnt seem possible with this man in charge.

A catch up with some friends..lovely ambience..food delicious..and really helpful, pleasant staff..well worth a visit for a relaxing lunch....

Visited the weekend past with work friends for our colleagues wee surprise Hen get together.. From start to finish the service was first class, thanks to Dessie for helping me organize the evening, and looking after us, he really went over and above. The 3...

Late lunch visit. £5 lunch menu still on! We had veggie dote toastie and the veggie curry with rice …amazing value for money & food as always delicious. Handy parking too! We are quickly becoming regulars …thank you.

Such a fabulous spot. We booked here for a family meal to celebrate our brothers 40th birthday these guys never disappoint. Steak was one of the best I have ever had personally . View is spectacular. staff where super helpful. Very nice relaxing atmosphere along the Quay.

Lovely food and reasonable Such lovely staff who were very accommodating and attentive. We arrived with a young baby. They were always checking that everything was okay and even heated up my dinner when they noticed my daughter had become a bit unsettled during the mains.

Had my sisters 30th birthday meal in here this week and we had a great time. The food was delicious and the staff were very attentive and friendly. The prices were very reasonable too! Would definitely recommend

What a fantastic night out...... Couldn't thank staff of Timberquay, Derry, enough... Food was top quality and staff was so inviting..... I would advise anyone to give it a visit..... Thanks again....

I can not thank the staff enough the service the food and the staff were just amazing .. the food was out of this world and so cheap the cocktails are to die for best pornstar martini's in the town best experience really can't thank...

Meal with family and young child, great service, very accommodating and friendly staff, food was lovely and will be back.

Arrived at 1pm for lunch sat for 20 mins before our order was taken. Sat for another 40 mins and still no food had arrived. Eventually had to leave and get the food to go. No real apology or acknowledgement when paying for the food. Won't be back.

Delicious food, friendly staff and beautiful views of the river Foyle

Iv been Timberquay and their £5 lunch menu is unreal. Honestly amazing value for money. Iv also been at night and the food is just beautiful and the staff can't do enough. A must visit for everyone. Check out their menus on Instagram.

Had been just before Christmas and had the turkey dinner which was lovely but this time ordered off main menu and quite disappointed. The pasta was so spicy you couldn't eat it and the chorizo sauce tasteless, the garlic no more tasted of garlic . To be honest when you are being cooked for by a chef you come to expect more, really disappointed.

Food fantastic, service outstanding - great lunch

Great £5 lunch menu. Steak and guiness pie was 100%

First time visit tonight with my partner and it certainly won't be the last. I cannot find any fault with our experience in Timberquay tonight. We had a wonderful relaxed delicious meal in a brilliantly decorated albeit quiet restaurant. My steamed seabass and greens and...

Called in for a quick lunch today.. we ate off the special £5 menu..loads of choices ..ordered the Louisiana toastie and the fish tacos … both were very generous portions and tasted amazing! Excellent service from Dessie as always! Highly recommend, great value for money...

Excellent food and service. A bit chilly.

Fantastic restaurant. Strawberry daiquiri is the best i have tasted so far. Steak is juicy and well spiced. Will be going against soon. Staffs were fast and efficient

Always helpful and accommodating

Called on Thur 7th Dec to book a table for 2 at 7pm on Saturday the 10th. Was told "you won't need to book that. Just show up." Arrived on Saturday and was told we can only have a table for 40 minutes and someone has booked it. I declined and was rudely told "what do you expect? Other people showed up"

Had a section Christmas lunch here today. Food was beautiful, staff were absolutely brilliant, couldn't do enough for us. Really enjoyable. Service was excellent.

Went as part of a group of about 30 people. The menu was not cordon bleu but everyone agreed the food was very well cooked. Service was also very good. The only complaint was that some of the company thought the restaurant was a little cold.
