Top Blade Portadown in Craigavon

One of the worst services I’ve ever had at a restaurant, booked in for 7 and that table wasn’t ready till around quarter past, waiting over an hour for food then nearly an hour after that waiting for desert and it only being a simple fudge cake that could be made in 5 minutes

Arrived and we were shown to the bar to wait on our table being prepared. We were then told our table was by the entrance not in the restaurant. I protested and we were given a table in the restaurant. We ordered our food and it was then a 50 minute wait till we were served. The food was OK certainly not worth the money I paid. The steak was warm not hot, quite salty and not worth the money.

The restaurant is extremely dark and cramped with small tables. There was a strong smell when we came in that smelled unclean. The tables were not properly wiped when we were set down. Drinks orders were quick but we felt pressured to get our food order in quickly. Food came out quick which was great and was super tasty. I'm not a fan of the wooden slabs the steak was on but thats personal preference. The meal itself was in my opinion on the pricey side, which wouldn't have been a problem if the restaurant was cleaner. I'm not sure if I would rush back but the steak was really lovely and most of the staff friendly.

Went tonight first time got the 12oz fillet steak very nice too best I've had in ages my wife had the 8oz fillet and said it was beautiful too will definitely be back servers very friendly too nice atmosphere also

Celebrating our wedding anniversary and staff Hannah and Ellie were very knowledgeable about menu, attentive and made our evening very special. Thankyou. We will see you soon.

Fantastic flavoursome food with the Fillet Steak to die for topped with the Signature Wine Sauce.

Absolutely beautiful food fabulous staff its actually worth a drive from cork

First time here kids got us voucher realy well pleased food was excellent and service no 1 by percy

Steak was absolutely delicious, sides were great aswell, couldn’t fault the food at all, staff were very friendly and attentive , great place

I had the 16 Oz T bone, With chips, and tobacco onions, garlic mushrooms with a dip for starter, and crunchier cheese cake with ice cream, and no complaints about any of it, food was delicious, and staff were friendly, will definitely return, Price wise - I went with the special at 29.95 and upgraded to the T. Bone for extra 14.00

This is the best, and I mean the best steak house, I've been in. The atmosphere was electric and the service was exceptional. But the food OMG!!! was out of this world . If you are a meat lover then you must visit this steakhouse.

Have to say food was excellent, couldn't fault it at all,very tasty,service was top class and very pleasant, well done, will return

Great place for getting nicely cooked red meat, not so much with chicken dishes tho, they were about average Steaks and beef burgers are great and satisfying

Food was beautiful. Love that they have introduced chicken and burgers into the menu for a change - I usually get steak. Large portions, piping hot and quick service. They have so much to choose from now and also do a 30 pound deal for 3 courses 7 days a week, alongside a large cocktail menu. Couldn’t go wrong here!

Had my birthday meal here, what can I say I was over impressed and that's not normal. The food was excellent, the staff couldn't have been nicer I loved it

Service was poor, booked a table a few days in advance, but then got asked to move to the bar area for our dessert, because our time slot had expired. I understand that it can be busy, but our food came out late and we all finished our main course within 15-20mins but no one came to clear our table and ask if we were done, which there was plenty of time for. Once they finally started to clear our table we then got asked to move and have our desert at the bar area. After moving to the table at the front we had to go and ask ourselves for menus for dessert after waiting another 5-10mins and it just felt like they forgot about us. We’ve been here a few times and service has been great all other times except for today.

Lovely food, very professional and high standard staff

Absolute shambles of a place🤦‍♂️ Peppered sauce is honestly shocking, steak not even cooked to the right temperature and to think they are charging as if they are a 'high end' restaurant😬 avoid at all costs unless ya looking a trip of disappointment

Food was absolutely amazing very filling, music was also fabulous me and my friend knew every single song, the workers were lovely including the manager although he was a bit of an eyesore (we know him personally don't worry) will definitely be going back💕

Terrible food the steak was like rubber , cheap food terrible place . Expensive for poor quality food avoid .

I found it very expensive when the portions were so small tiny. No sides included like anywhere else and no WiFi in the place for the public to use there phone hard to believe. Nice staff but was still hungry unfortunately leaving.

This is the nicest restaurant I have ever been to.. honestly. As soon as we entered we were greated by a lovely guy, service was brilliant, the lighting made us feel so relaxed. Not to mention the food omg the best steak I have ever tried, overall 10/10 will definitely be back! 👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ellie was so great with us. She gave us exactly what we needed. She was so cool and was 100% :) xoxoxo

NEVER in over 20-odd years of dining out and a decade working in hospitality have I ever had my main course brought out in the middle of my starter! And when i declined to take it the waitress states “thats how we do it here” (despite this NOT having been the way it was done the last FOUR times i was there). Having asked to speak to the manager (if you can call someone who deems it appropriate to turn up to a public-facing job in a teeshirt that barely fits a manager) I was bluntly informed that “We don’t call them starters here we call them ‘Light Bites’” while rudely thrusting a menu at me to prove his petty little point. Topped off with having to pick my own coat off the floor after it was taken from me to be “hung up as they can be a trip hazard” and then Mr Lovehandles (Manager) childishly asking if “Everything was ok?” after everything that happened. Will not be back in TB Portadown and frankly would rather drive to the belfast venue.

Excellent steaks cooked perfectly. Really nice atmosphere also. Our Waitress Ellie was attentive, knowledgeable with menu and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be back to try more menu items. Great value our experience

Excellent service from our waiter Zara, food and atmosphere was great

It was honestly amazing, staff were superb and couldn’t have been more helpful with the food intolerances we had at our table

Amazing food and customer service, our waitress was sophie, she was extremely helpful and pleasant. Gave very good recommendations and enjoyed the food. will definitely be back again!

Food not bad had better. Service terrible from start to finish. Had a knife and fork from start, yes starters to mains to desert had to ask for Spoon for desert. Had to ask for my pepper sauce for beef & bird. Try to charge me for it. Top blade not worth the money in my eyes.

Terrible management and staffs We had booked for my birthday and they got the number of people wrong and didn't put an extra chair. I had to go to another restaurant, and they lost a lot of money. I don't recommend this place to anyone

Had a lovely evening at Top Balde, the food was first class with service to match! I will definitely be back!

Fantastic food and service. The wife had the new chicken and king prawns and Said they where unreal. I had the 12oz fillet and it was like cutting butter. Fantastic will be back asap

Food is great, drinks a delicious and service is friendly and happy to give recommendations

Terrible management Lack of consideration for customers, had tables booked they wouldn’t find an extra chair because we had a baby with us. So they missed out on a £1000 bill over 1 chair. None of us will ever go there as it was our first time trying it. We’ll all be telling family and friends to keep away and go somewhere better.

Great food great ambience, restaurant just a tad cool.

Food was unbelievable, the wagyu was class but the service was meh not really impressive the lady serving us would need to crack a smile from time to time

I attended top blade for a surprise birthday dinner for myself with a few friends at the end of August and was impressed at first sight, from the first smile, and, greeting we had of the guy who walked us to our table and asked if we had any questions, he was very knowledge with his answers.. just like the saying you only get one chance to make a good impression, he made our night without being overly involved at the table, his name was Connor.. the food was very good, i had the t bone with garlic chips which was excellent, but the reason we have been back is because of Connor... thank you top blade and thank you Connor

Never left a bad review before, but people should to be aware of this. You may be denied service based on your ethnicity. As the waitress was about to take us to a table, what I presume was her manager, in a dismissive manner interjected and told us they were about to close. This was 1h15m away from the actual closing time (Friday at 8:45pm). Nothing against the establishment, but this was uncalled for, and the whole situation just wasn’t right.

Won’t be rushing back. Main course arrived while starter was barely sat down. Party member didn’t get to finish their starter as main course was getting cold. Steak wasn’t cooked to order. Was underdone and cold. Main course was hurried and staff tried to lift it while we were still eating it. Dessert was forgotten about then we were rushed out due to being over the allocated time. Overpriced and poor quality. Not a great first experience.

I've never left a negative review before, but this was our experience. Booked a table for 4 - 2 adults and 2 kids under 3. 1. drinks order wrong 2. had to ask for kids menu 3. had to get high chair ourselves 4. all tables around us arrived after us and received food before us 5. Spoke to staff and a while after they realise they hadnt processed our order. 6. Asked to take our order again with next to no apology but as we had waited over 1h we had to leave to get kids to bed. 7. Minimum discount was offered reluctantly 3 year cried when we had to leave as he was hungry. Real shame as seemed as nice place.

Terrible steak very cheap meat used chewing for ten mins on the steak, starter was very oily and also no forks given for starter . Definitely won’t be back and pricey for poor quality. Avoid

First time in Top Blade Portadown.. Great staff... Fabulous food and great atmosphere.. We will be back 💖

Were very disappointed with the size of T-bone steak, wish we had pictures taken. Definitely not 16oz , was twice thinner and smaller. Asked waiter for salad, said he never ate salad there and does not know about it (also, did not bother asking the chef). Mac & cheese tasted like pot noodles. My steak (sirloin) was not too bad but my partner was very dissatisfied with his t-bone. The spinach were inedible. At the end of experience, we did not even get a chance to tell about our experience as nobody would ask “how was it”. Even when we did not finish our starter, staff did not think it would be fair to ask if everything okay with it. Pretty disappointed for a steak house. 4 different waiters came to the table, and not one of them have lifted empty glasses off the table.

Steak / Burger is all very good. Especially good deals

Excellent meal at this new restaurant. Service was outstanding as well. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Great food, fantastic and fast service 👌 highly recommend

Good Steak , Cheap prices & cocktails are Very nice

We had a fabulous meal on Friday evening from start to finish. Hannah was our waitress and the banter was great although she remained very professional as well. The cocktail that Hannah made us was delicious. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you

Great food, great cocktails, been to Belfast and portadown, portadown wins, either way highly recommend

Rating this area as a local reccomadition. It is stunning visually., any the staff i met were lovely and happy to assist me & my husband. My only issus was is that my husband & I went for an early dinner at 5pm this evening & our order got messed up even though there were only 2 other tables of 2 in at the same time. When we asked the staff for asstince & the assures us that they would check with the kitchen, they soon returned saying the prawns that were apart of one of our orders would be 6 minsor so & that our drinks would be on the house, we assured the staff that this was fine & we would await for the accompany of the prawns to our already cold dish. When the prawns arrived the staff we had previcely been speaking to came to our table while we were eating our dinner telling us they could not take our drinks off the bill & they were not on the house, but our sides could be taken off the bill, This was very unexpected & strange as we had already been advised as to what action was already going to occure with our bill!! We did not want to make a scene as this was a very awkward situstion we were put in by the staff and went along with this arrangment as it was apparently the only one we had!! And one to disturb our fist meal here may I add!!!! But all in all it was a good meal apart from our issues already discueed. But in my opinion it was Very over priced for the location & the errors we encounterer durring our enperience!!!

Fabulous service and one of the best steaks I’ve ever had.

Lovely time last night with the help of Hannah we choose a excellent meal. Can definitely recommend it.. Thanks again Hannah for your help and the extra laughs!!

Overall I had nothing to complain about and enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. What stopped me giving 5 stars was mostly related to the price you paid vs the quality of the food. I think the steaks were just as good as Zio, but their steaks are much cheaper. The only bonus compared to Zio is they have a wider choice of meats which, I suppose comes as no surprise considering they are a steakhouse. The only other small criticism I have is the tobacco onions were not very crispy and a little greasy but still tasty. Service and atmosphere was faultless though. Overall i would definitely recommend Top Blade as worth a try as everyone's tastes are different and I will be back a second time to try a different cut of steak or one of their signature burgers which did look amazing served at the table next to us. I just hope it tastes amazing at £14 a burger. Which I have no problem paying if it does taste amazing. Give Top Blade a try!!

Fabulous staff , amazing food nicest stake ive ever had , well worth it..

First time visiting with some friends, good simple menu with the focus on the Steak. Sides and dessert very tasty. Good choice of drinks and kids meals available. Would definitely recommend the mushroom sauce.

Food and service fantastic. Very clean and pleasant. Will definitely be back.

I liked the food and the service. Vgood place

Lovely place,brilliant service very friendly,steak cooked to perfection 🥰

Returned to top blade again over the weekend as it never disappoints! The food was delicious, the waiting times were not long, especially as it was very busy and the service from staff was great, especially from George who went above and beyond. We will be back again soon :)

We were greeted by a lovely gentleman ❤️. Jenny was our waitress and she was lovely and friendly throughout out meal. Food was delicious and so were the cocktails. Thank you 🥰

Very disappointed the staff were polite but the sirloin wasn't great,it wasn't hot almost prepared (just my opinion) was certainly not worth the money, we'll certainly not be back

6 of us Went for the bottomless brunch... Absolutely delicious. Service was faultless. We will be back.. Well done guys..

Went one Wednesday evening with the intention of getting steak, then once insaw the menu I went for the burger, I didn't regret it. Service was excellent, one waitress even sacrificed her break time crunchie and gave it to my awkard friend who wanted something with a cup of tea but not desert!! Let's just say they got well deserved tip

Been twice Food was wonderfull, let down by decor, very bright spotlights in your face when eating, music choice in background and poor service.

Food was absolutely beautiful, service absolutely shocking

Amazing food! Best meal we have had in a very long time, the top blade flat iron steak with all 5 steps was unreal! good variety on drinks menu, and amazing service. The waitress with short brown and piercings was exceptional friendly and attentive. Thank you.

Very nice place expensive but quality must be cost 👌

Nice place with tasty food! The flat iron steak was a decent size and had a nice flavour. I would go for sirloin next time!

I visited Topblade Portadown with friends on Friday 31st March and again on Monday 3rd April with my partner. On both occasions the experience was an absolute let down! Both occasions the temperature of ALL of the steaks was wrong... so wrong in fact that any good cardiologist with a defibrillator could have breathed life back into the cow. Topblade was recommended to me on a number of occasions by multiple people, however, I certainly would not recommend it to anyone else. I was able to forgive Friday's transgressions in the hopes of a better meal on Monday but it wasn't to be. I will however, make mention of our server Laura in the Belfast branch. Laura made the terrible steaks much more palatable with her charisma. She was a pleasure and is an absolute asset to her employer - this lady deserves a pay rise... she bore the burden of her employer incredibly well. Not only did she make our experience a little better, it appeared she did so too for the table beside us. She deserves a pay rise - I hope Topblade take note of her excellence and reward her appropriately. Thank you Laura!

Expensive night out 10oz steak nothing special,sides extra and inadequate,most expensive glass of wine ever at £7,750ml bottle of water £4.50,will be returning to more favourable priced restaurants in the future,love eating out but must be value for money,sorry Top Blade

First time here, absolutely loved it. They seated us without a reservation. Couldn't be nicer, relaxed staff that chatted to us. Will definitely be back

Great service, incredible food. 10/10

Food was perfect however the service was poor. This was due to having to wait an eternity to be greeted my a member of staff when we arrived and having to wait a long time for our order to be taken.

I love this place! The rump steaks are so full of flavour. Mac and cheese is the best I have had this side of the Atlantic! Jenny and Nathan are amazing, really add to the experience. I think it's well priced for a steak place. You won't be disappointed, give it a try.

Very disappointed,everything was drowning in salt too much seasoning,starter of mushrooms was dier and chorizo and cheese rolls were worse,would not recommend it

Food critics just beautiful very nice presentation and very very tasty They have a brilliant chef that very positive. Negative points we have been remind to make sure we leave the table 4 times DURING our meal we got 1hours and 15 minutes in total that extremely bad Be honest value its will over price Compare to local competitors . Inside Deco with bright light far to bright with no ambiance no atmosphere. No music back ground. And the table position remind you like a school canteen back to back. No separation or space between table no ambiance no tea light even .

Food was excellent cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back

Very friendly staff. The food and cocktails were delicious. We will be back again.

Fantastic meal , First class service from Nathan, he greeted us at the door on arrival and was so attentive the entire evening. For a steak house the decor is fabulous, excellent menu , Halloumi starter was delicious and steak was perfectly cooked. We loved the background music and the decor is beautiful. Will definitely be back. I had one criticism and its a small complaint. The delicious desserts served on slate look beautiful but difficult to eat. I'd much prefer a plate. Over-all a very enjoyable experience.

Had a great steak… however when ordering desert we where informed we can’t as they needed the table for the next booking. Never informed at any time (including email booking) we had 90mins (late getting the table and not fast service).

My steak was slightly more rare than I expected and the waitress took it back to be cooked a little more.. when it came back I realised it was so salty I couldn't eat it. The waitress was really lovely but didn't offer an alternative. The manager came to speak to us and I've rarely met a more rude individual. I explained that everything was really good with the service the wine and the rest of the food but we would only pay for one steak. He then turned very offensive and said he knew from the second we walked in the door we were going to be unhappy.. I really want to give good reviews to local places so if its cocktails you're after then I'm sure it's fine but be prepared to experience good ingredients ruined by over seasoning and be insulted by the front of house manager.

Fantastic food got the T-Bone and the ice-cream sundae beautiful got fast service You will need to book in advance for a table because it's so popular and I would say Saturday would be the business night

Been multiple times, service has always been fantastic with our waitress Jenny and waiter Nathan. Food is outstanding and top notch, would highly recommend!!!

Back ground music created a good vibe, staff also excellent. Vegetarian option was delicious. Will definitely return.

Nathan front of house was the loveliest wee soul! The food was so nice & service was second to none, sienna was the most attentive server and made sure we had everything to enjoy our meal. Can’t wait to return

Love Top Blade. Friendly staff. Clean beautiful place and the food is AMAZING. Best steak we ever had. Can't wait to go back. 10*

Tables were very small but service and food was unreal 😋

My husband and I went for a romantic valentine's meal. This was our first experience at Top Blade Portadown. The whole experience was exceptional from the greeting we received upon entering the restaurant to the service we received from our server Jenny. She went above and beyond. Very attentive. Food and drinks were amazing and we will definitely be back.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING STEAK! Lovely peppered sauce;Beautiful tobacco onions! I LOVE IT!! Lovely service from George Allan.

def 5 stars, 110% will return, the food was delicious, both steaks cooked to our liking and Jenny was fantastic with the service. pineapple express cocktail was also very delicious.

We absolutely loved our meal but our waitress Jenny was a wee lady and so pleasant ,,her personality was second to none ,,will be back ,,great food and fantastic atmosphere the fella with beard was so lovely too 🥩🍹

Booked here for treat and it was meh, not worth it. Although staff were lovely it was expensive for what it was. Requested rare steak but got medium and we were late to be seated for a booked table. Got the Top Blade signature sauce and it was just spicy mayo, it was served cold and not the best with steak. For 2 people the bill was over £120 for food we could have cooked at home. It didn't feel like a steak house, just another restaurant that mostly served steak.

No top blade/nosh. Very disappointed in starter choices, cocktails are premixed and not fresh. Steak ok, pepper sauce as plain as can be and doesn’t have a kick off it, more like a milk sauce. One staff member (didn’t get name) was star of show, he was friendly, attentive and flamboyant. Far nice steak houses a short drive away such as basil shields Armagh, jinglers in banbridge. I don’t understand the hype but is nicer than Courtney’s in newry.

Great cuts of meat and cooked to perfection. Staff were attentive and service was quick. The only thing that let them down was their sides. Soo bland and boring.

Very underwhelming. The only people in the restaurant yet the onion rings were overcooked and the steak was lukewarm. I'd hate to see the standard when the restaurant is filled. Nicer steak places elsewhere so wouldn't return.

Very disappointed with our meal last night. For being a 'steakhouse' the quality was well below average, steaks were not cooked as requested and when we mentioned our disappointment (which could clearly be seen by some of our plates) the waiter said OK, shrugged and walked off...not mentioning the matter again. The waiter then accepted a drinks order seconds before another came by and advised they needed our table in 5 minutes and could we please pay and leave... An expensive night for below average food and cocktails. Disappointed to have chosen this restaurant as a birthday celebration dinner. We won't be returning in the future that's for sure!

Had a lovely night in TopBlade, food was lovely, and our server Sienna was fantastic! Very pleasant young lady!

First class food and a treat to watch Hannah and Charlie make the cocktails.

Lovely food steaks really good lovely cocktails and a nice banofee shot to Finnish is a bit pricey but worth it

Place was cold and steak was quite tough. Average place
