The best restaurants in Ards South Eastern NI

Always a treat to visit McKee's farm shop and restaurant. When you arrive the menu is at the entrance to the restaurant. You now need to put your order in and pay before sitting. This makes service extremely efficient as the food came out really quickly and was delicious as always. The staff are amazing, really friendly and welcoming. The farm shop is one of the best I have been in. All local produce and so fresh. The apple and cinnamon luxury scones are highly recommended.

Amazing staff, very friendly and helpful.

I have been visiting Cafolla's for many years now, originally as a small child with my grandmother and mother and now as an adult. In all the time we have visited it has continued to provide a wonderful place for us to stop and rest while enjoying something delicious. We have many fond memories of trips to Cafolla's or stopping to get an ice-cream on the way home from a trip along the Ards peninsula. We recently stopped by after a very cold and wet shopping trip, and received the warmest welcome from Catherine who made our visit just so lovely. We really do treasure Cafolla's!

Busy cafe with decent selection of hot and cold meals or a wee bun! Fast service, not mad expensive. Have to say it is Sylvia that makes the experience enjoyable, she is very helpful, assisting customers to tables and carrying trays for them. Think I'd stop going if she left!

the first time we ate here it was nice so we went back another night. the garlic mayo was pure rotten the 2nd time and the chips were soggy they are abit bipolar about the food.

Amazing food, very good service. Very polite staff

Arrived for coffee and cake, soaking wet with 5 other cyclists. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. No problem with us sitting in their cafe, dripping wet and cold. Coffee and cake are great and then they were happy to mop up after us. Great experience !

I am a regular customer and I will say its the best chippy in the town. Best pastie by far. Recently though my take away experience has been very much hit and miss. More misses than hits. £4.40 for a large chip. Most visits the chips have been piled high, good value for money. Last few weeks though they have just about covered the level of the white trays they come in. You could nearly count the chips on your hands. Tonight it was just after 9 when I went. Chips were disgusting, looked like they had been there from lunchtime. Come on Lynn's this can be a lot better.

Called in to Millars today on way home with my wife. We ordered a cheeseburger, fish goujons and a large chip. Got home and opened and I have to say the amount of chips we got was probably the smallest portion of chips I have ever had from any chip shop. To be honest it was disgraceful. Of the fish goujons my wife got at least two were completely inedible. They smelled and tasted off. The burger was also nothing special and quite basic. We were both very disappointed as we had heard good things of this chippy but we will definitely not be back.

Waited 45 minutes for a cod, scampi and 2 battered sausages. Went and asked how much longer I’d need to wait and was told another 5-10 minutes because they where busy. Asked for a refund and got no apology for the wait. Would avoid at all costs in future.

Great food, good selection of dishes and lovely staff. Great value prices. In short well worth a visit as ypu will not be disappointed.

Smashing food as always. My poached egg to perfection and such kind and friendly staff. Looking forward to seeing what they prepare for my tea party in Saturday🫖 It’s so convenient I can give George a couple of my ideas, relax and he tops them every time!!

Absolutely outstanding meal - scallops to start followed by chateaubriand. Bramble was gorgeous too. We have visited countless times. stunning food every time. Lovely team as well!

Myself and my wife sat outside on a beautiful July day. We were a bit early for lunch but had a couple of beverages in the sun whilst waiting. The food turned out to be tasty and wholesome. The service was ok considering how busy they were. A nice spot for a pub lunch with a view across the Lough.

HAD NOT BEEN AT SQUID SHACK SINCE JULY 2023 UNTIL NOW. BACK THEN THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT AND PLENTIFUL. I RECOMMENDED IT TO EVERYONE WHO LIKES SEAFOOD AND SCAMPI IN PARTICULAR. HOWEVER THIS VISIT DISAPPOINTED ME GREATLY. THE QUALITY MAY BE ALMOST AS GOOD BUT THE QUANTITY OF SCAMPI WAS WAS NOT ONLY REDUCED FROM 24 & 23 PIECES PREVIOUSLY TO 14 PIECES NOW, BUT THE PIECES WERE PROBABLY SMALLER AS WELL. PREVIOUSLY GOOD VALUE BUT NO LONGER THE CASE. I AM WONDERING HAS IT BEEN TAKEN OVER BY DIFFERENT MANAGMENT. ALSO PREVIOUSLY PEOPLE SITTING AND ALWAYS TWO OR THREE OF A QUEUE FOR TAKEAWAY. NOW ONLY ONE OTHER PERSON AND NO SIT INS. HAS THE POPULARITY DROPPED DUE TO MY EXPERIENCE OR DID I JUST VISIT ON A QUIET NIGHT?
