The best restaurants in Kells Ballymena North Eastern NI

We were here this evening (10th October) for my Dads birthday. It's been a while since I've been at a restaurant with such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble, food is cooked to order so if you don't like mushrooms they'll take them out. We'll definitely be back

My friend and I thought we made our reservation at this location but it turned out that we made it at another location. The hostesses were so nice and told us they’d still serve us, just that the wait is about 15 mins. We were able to call the other location and cancel without being charged a cancellation fee. Everything was great all up until we were seated. Our waitress was very short with us. She took our order and when we asked her if we could have our smash burger done medium-well, she said it comes well-done because it is “smashed”. We waited more than 30 mins for our food and didn’t even complain because we were enjoying each other’s company. But then my friend’s burger came back medium rare in the middle and she didn’t realize until she got to the well…middle cause meat cooks faster on the outside! We asked if we could have it remade and this waitress was adamant about there being “nothing wrong” with the burger not being cooked all the way…well, if someone is expecting medium-well or well-done, obviously they’re not going to want to eat meat that is more raw than medium-well! It’s too raw, that’s what’s wrong! The manager came and spoke to us and made sure we got a new burger. She was really nice about it. Then our waitress came back and took my friend’s plate off the table while she was still eating off her plate, to the point where the waitress almost took her fork with the plate while it was still in my friend’s hand with a potato on it!!!! It was so ridiculous. Then she tried to laugh it off by saying we get new potatoes too. It was such an awkward experience. If I had to be served by this waitress again, I’d probably just go eat somewhere else.

Haven't been ere for a number f years and decided to go again for an evening meal. We weren't disappointed. Will call again in the future.

I got my chippy from here on Friday night and it was cold rubbery and just nasty. I will never eat here again
