The best restaurants in Cookstown Southern NI

Great place with good people. Wish the place was big to accommodate a lot of people

Had pan fried chicken today with chips & veg plus cheesecake of the day for dessert & and an Americano Coffee.Food was delicious & Staff very friendly & helpful.Would recommend.

Lovely coffee shop / café - food (breakfast, and a beans on toast) arrived hot - delicious, and great start to the day.

My mum always got our birthday cakes here as kids. Now we are buying them there for her. Says it all.

I've passed this bar quite a few times, and it always was closed so this day it was open and we popped in for a drink, friendly staff,

Spoke to a lovely server, she goes by the name of klara, wonderful girl. Made my day and was extremely helpful. Would go again just for her

Nice family pub I was a stranger calling in has no pubs a round very friendly

Excellent food, service and craic. The food is always 1st class, large hot portions (unless it's a salad) and very reasonably priced. The staff are so friendly.

Can't believe some reviews, someone said I've had s few meals out of here ,yet only leave a 2 star review when their batterd sausage was a bit greasy, and not all the other times the food was perfect, Karen's are everywhere! From my experience food was exceptional, from friendly staff,to cleanliness of the place, plus quite a que was forming, which is always a good sign.

Does anyone know when this place will reopen? And will the owner finally invest in a card payment terminal, so we don’t have to rely on cash only? The cash-only thing feels a bit too greedy at this point. Edit: Only 2 stars because this place has been closed for too long, leaving Cookstown without enough competition for kebab spots. Since then, places like The Pizza Box even raised their prices just two weeks ago. We really need this place back to keep things fair and affordable!

If you want to relive the heyday of high teas, you should book one at the Royal Hotel, Cookstown. Our party of 7 was treated to an old-style dining experience, in bright and tastefully decorated surroundings, thanks to our excellent waitress. Roslyn's attention to detail and to our dining needs were exceptional. We had what seemed to be three bottomless tea pots on the go; delicious sandwich fingers with an assortment of tasty savoury fillings; scones, jam and cream; muffins and a variety of exquisite slices all placed on three towering cake plates - a veritable cornucopia. At regular intervals Roslyn and her staff checked if we needed refills, that we were comfortable, provided boxes for us to take home excess goodies, and even demonstrated her excellent skills as a photographer, ably capturing our reunion of Northern Irish and Australian cousins for posterity. At all times Roslyn was professional, unobtrusive, polite, friendly, and caring - reminding us of days gone by when dining out was an absolute pleasure thanks to excellent cuisine served by staff who provided outstanding and friendly service.

Went there for lunch and I was absolutely horrified. Staff were extremely rude and untrained. There was barely any service and the waiting staff just have a face on the entire time. Food was disgusting. No wonder this is a 3 star hotel, will not go back even if they paid us.
