The best restaurants in Magherafelt North Eastern NI

Im not someone to leave a review especially a negative one but in the hope the business sees it and acts upon it then I will. Or other potential customers who want to save their money and spend it in a better restaurant My first time in Apparo Restaurant and not living far from it I was excited to try. We were party of 8 out to celebrate a special occasion. Firstly it started off with the drinks, 3 pints of coors had to be sent back as then smell of them were horrific, we later seen a glass put over the keg tap so they werent serving any more coors. We then asked for 3 replacement drinks which were bottles- a member of the party had to go ask for the drinks after waiting over 15 minutes. It then went on to our starters, were a soup came out stone cold, was sent back and waited some time on the next to come out. On to the mains generally they were ok bar the amount of SALT that was on everything and a cold beef burger (a big mac at Mc D'd was warmer)😞 which again was sent back. On to deserts, we didnt request any deserts as we had a cake with us to celebrate the occasion. We had just asked for tea and coffees which unfortunately had not arrived. After, several reminders to what appeared to be the main person on the night about the standard and service, nothing changed. Come paying for the bill they had the audacity to charge for absolutely everything baring in mind the sub standard service and food. On a side note- I pity the floor staff as they as at the brunt of this which isnt their fault. One girl in particular was lovely. I feel the younger staff need more training on general skills such as asking checking up if more water etc is needed and general communication skills with customers From, an extremely DISAPPOINTED customer

I got a burger and it was nice 👍

Recently played at a private event here for the first time in yrs. lovely spot and both food and service were great.👍

Stopped for a coffee. Won’t be stopping again, absolutely disgusting. Just a pointer for you, decent coffee is not made by pushing buttons on a machine

Nice small chippy was driving past seen the sign so i popped in it is cheap and also good size portions and seem like nice people working there

Called in for lunch and food was excellent and great friendly staff would call again

BEST BOSS MAN EVER I DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK

Went here today with my friend. Waited 15 minutes to get our order taken. Another 25 minutes for my friends tea and scone to be brought to him followed by another 10 minutes for my 5 piece fry breakfast to be brought out to me. I can say if I knew I'd be waiting a total of 35 minutes for the size of my fry I'd not have bothered. Now I can say the food was tasty very tasty but the portion size was small. After waiting that amount of time it would have been nice to have my poached egg cooked properly. The woman who brought me my fry didn't speak to me or even make eye contact with me which I found very rude. Overall the service was very slow, some staff members don't come across as very friendly. There didn't seem to be much attentiveness to customers and a bit to laid back. I probably won't be back here again.

So amazing place I came in 30min 2 times and I'm happy service is really good PS I'm not from Ireland a I'm tourist from Latvia I recommend this place to my friends, thank you for good services.

Didn't get anything to eat. Had a pint and thoroughly enjoyed it

Food really good ive been there twice in the last 4 months , the only thing that lets them down is the service, really bad at clearing tables etc , asked 4 times for the bill ..gets really annoying.....

Great family food and value basket meals in the bar, shame the new manager is getting rid of them apparently .

Nice comfortable restaurant, friendly helpful staff I had chicken and steak which was lovely only slight criticism was I like my steak well done and it was red in the middle. Apart from that it was very nice We also had sea bass which was excellent also Quite reasonable and would return

Food was lovely, well priced and the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. Chicken tikka massala was beautiful.

Another trip to north coast paused for lunch at this great place.Lunch was fine and the Guinness top notch. Must try and get to one of the many gigs some evening.
