The best restaurants in North Eastern NI

Delightful chippy to deal with.

One of the rare places that still doesn't accept card payment which is unbelievable literally avoiding tax we couldn't get anything because we didn't have any pound cash with us , definitely we do NOT RECOMMEND

Never had a bad feed Great local staff who are always friendly

Great fish supper, well priced.

Ordered at the counter and sat at the only available table. Table was uncleared from previous occupants dishes and crumbs. Sat like that for 10 minutes until the food appeared. One lady lifted the dishes without saying a single word. It was like a silent admonishment for sitting at an unprepared table. The other lady then sat down the food. The crumbs and bits were left unwiped and the table uncleaned. Used to be our favourite Carrick cafe, not any more. Terrible attitude and poor standard of cleanliness.

Every night is a great night in this bar

I didn’t need any time to decide what to order, because on a chalk board the descriptions of the soup of the day and panini of the day were so tempting. They were a fantastic meal, and only £10.20p. Service? Staff are very good. Place was popular, lots of diners inside for their Tuesday lunch time. I went outside to enjoy the sunshine. Where else can you eat with a view of mini goats? Lots of outside seating, plus a sturdy canvas awning in case the outside gets any rain. I parked for free on the road outside, in a lay by just yards from the entrance. They have their own free 6-space car park, too. They score a maximum 5 out of 5 for their Food Standards Agency hygiene rating. Something was softly clucking in the low bushes by the seating area. Two dazzling, iridescently plumed chickens were in there. Eventually they walked out and around some of the tables. Utterly glorious creatures. I didn’t have the heart to tell them what was in my panini. Chicken tikka.

Delacys cafe is safe enough for you to go there alone and the staff is nice and kind and the price is very very very low and Delacys cafe is like a bakery and the stew is very very very good and yummy and the sausage rolls are very very very good and yummy even my frog loves the sausage rolls you can tell because he was eating one of the sausage rolls in our car in one of our photos and the scones are very very very good and yummy and the potatoes are very very very good and yummy and the value is great and Delacys cafe can only take cash

Hello I am sir Hudson, I am writing this formal review to congratulate the head chef I presume. On his great victory of having the best exquisite curry half & half in newtownabbey! Matter of fact in the great N.I. My other half decided to test her taste buds on adventuring to a satay sauce covered chip and have been told it was tremendous and tickled said taste buds. One again from Mrs Hudson and I, a big CONGRATULATIONS. God bless and amen 🙏

We were at Ownies today 16/10/2024 at 5pm for dinner, Had lamb, & chicken Curry and I must say it was so good and tasty, food was well prepared and on time, the server was vey polite and very helpful. We would definately recommend Owines to individuals, couples and large or small groups. Very well done guys, hopefully we be back soon and also for Christmas dinner.

The staff are very helpful. Both the presentation of the food and the taste are first class. the building is country style and very homely. Definately worth a visit. There was a group of us and everyone enjoyed all their food as well as myself. I recommend everything on the menu.

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.

Another fantastic meal in The Harbour . We love it here , good food , great atmosphere , lovely staff
