The Irish version of a Truck stop, what I really like about these locations is that on major roads there is often one on both sides of the motorway, pull off, go through the round about and back on no confusing twists and turns, They have a couple of fast food and coffee places inside along with a convenience store and fuel. Friendly staff Sausage roll unlike many American shop you fill up with fuel and then pay inside. Prices are about the same as all the other fueling locations read more

good selection of food, the burger king here always has the vegan options available. the chinese here is really good as well.

As sad as it is, I'm actually a big fan of motorway services. Having lived in England for a while I used to frequent motorway services regularly and I always found them handy so when I heard Applegreen was opening I was excited. Yesterday I was on a bus trip to Portrush and after a bit of nagging the bus driver agreed to stop off at Applegreen. The facilities are superb. There's a Greggs, Chopstix, general shop, a Lavazza Coffee shop and a Bakewell. There's also plenty of parking, a a special area for coaches and caravans. I decided to go for a Greggs. I would have presumed because it's motorway services the prices would have been higher but they were the same as usual. One of the lads we were with pointed out the great kids facilities including the playground. The whole place is open plan. Really easy to find what you're looking for and ridiculously convenient! read more

Clean, bright and convenient is how I would describe Applegreen Services. The range of places has been well selected from the cheap but very cheerful produce of Greggs through Burger King and my personal favorite here, Lavazza Café all tick a box for something you'd want to see in here. As mentioned before there seems to be a little tacked on to the price here and there, perhaps as they know they have a captive audience? A small enough gripe for what on paper is a pretty good all round place. For me the only real problem is that although as I say everything here on paper is top notch, you can't escape the fact it is a bit soulless and you never forget that first and foremost you are in motorway services. read more

This place has it all if your looking for something to eat on a long drive or maybe not so long drive. My wife would make me drive here whether we were passing or not due to the fact it has a Greggs. Greggs is a chain of bakeries from across the water and the steak bake is highly recommended. This service station also has a very good selection of other eating places, from Chinese at chopstix to burgers at Burger King. Nice wee shop and a few kids play areas to keep the little ones entertained. Also the fuel isn't to dear. read more

GREGGS!!! The only bleeding one in Ireland and its here. Have called in here a few times now on the trip to the Port. Newly opened there is something for everyone. Within the service station there is a food court that boasts a LavAzza coffee shop, Bakewell cafe, Burger King, Subway and Chopstix food outlets, oh and GREGGS!. There is plenty of seating for the family and also a free kids play park. Having visited a few times we have sampled most of the food counters here and we haven't been let down yet. Having lived in GB, once upon a time, i was more excited to indulge with a Greggs Steakbake & Chicken and mushroom bake. There's no denying that Greggs is pretty awesome for a quick fix of baked goodness. This place is only accessible if you are travelling Northbound on the M2 so dont get your hopes up of a short journey on the southbound as you need Travel approx 1 or 2 miles south to hit a roundabout. Loved it, Love Greggs. For that reason alone you should pop in here next time you pass. read more

Stopped here as I was on a work roadtrip in the area, just because I've been dying for a Greggs corned beef pasty!! It isnt somewhere id normally pass on a regular basis but is worth going into if you are in the area. There is so much choice and all the food this morning looks really good. There is Burger king, Greggs, Chopstix (buffet style chinese), Lavazza coffee shop and a few other cafes serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The shop is well stocked and there is a cash machine inside. The prices are really good for motorway services and even the petrol is about average for the area. The toilets are well kept clean and tidy for the amount of people using them. Even at this time of day the place is packed but there are plenty of seats both downstairs and upstairs. My first visit and I'm well impressed will definitely be back......and yeah the pasty was amazing!! read more

Those of us who have trawled up and down the motorways and A-roads of the mainland will be familiar with the ubiquitous service areas every 20 miles or so, whether there is a need for a service area on a 20 mile stretch of motorway less than 10 miles from the city centre is a moot point, but presumably someone thought it a good enough idea to build one, and start work on the opposite side of the motorway for another, but the missus was curious enough so off we trotted in ye olde Mondeo to check it out. Being a new building it is pretty fresh looking and has the usual mix of franchise chain food outlets all doing their usual stunt of over charging for everything, even the Applegreen part of the operation is more expensive for everything from Mars Bars to fuel although for the first week or so after opening, the fuel was cheap. The place was pretty packed though, so presumably enough people were curious to see what the fuss was about too. As for me, I think I'll just carry on my way and pay normal price somewhere else. read more

This place is soooooo handy. It's just off the M2, on the way to the international airport. I had to pick up a relative up from the airport at 8.15am, mid-week and figured the traffic was going to suck, which it didn't and had 45 minutes to kill. This is the perfect place to grab a sausage roll from Greggs, a coffee from Lavazza, and a good auld nosy on Facebook with their 30 minute, free wifi. There are other things here as well, like a Burger King, a Chinese noodle shop and some other eateries, as well as a petrol station and toilets. Lots here to kill a bit of time. read more

I have only been in here twice but it is amazing and exactly what we needed! For those travelling long motorway journeys there is plenty here to stop for! They have greggs, Burger King, subway, a Chinese, another cafe and a coffee shop! There is literally everything you could need under one roof! There is also a play area to help the kids burn off some energy before getting back in the car! It's been a long time coming for Northern Ireland and I hope there will be more of these at different locations! read more

Petrol station that's really a small village inside with a range of eateries and loads of seating. Its been very well thought out as the children's play area is covered from the elements and there's a drive through burger king as well. We drove up today just to get to Greggs again. read more

Applegreen Services - Couldn't get our boy away from these, use the other entrance if you've got car mad children! - Gas Stations Near Me - Newtownabbey, NTA

This newly opened station is the M2 motorways first and long overdue services station. Inside you'll find a subway, Burger King, chopstix and a general fry up type of food stall. There's also a greggs bakers on its way, the first of its kind in NI. The inside has a great atmosphere and very comfortable seating. Fuel isn't overly expensive either. All in all a great addition to the M2. It will definitely be used by myself a lot in the near future. read more

American style Truck Stop 10 miles or so north of Belfast and another one further up the road near Coleraine with another I believe, in the Lisburn area. Given the lack of long motorways/highways in our limited infrastructure I'm not sure how this reststop concept has become so popular in the few months it has been opened but it is a big success and is always busy in the few times I have visited after the tiring ten mile or so drive up the hill from Belfast Food can be pricey in some of the concessions but petrol/diesel prices are average for the Belfast area. Food concession stands: Chopstix, Burger King, Bakewell, Lavazza Coffee, Greg's Pies and the usual convenience store. Also a shower room to freshen up in on the way home from the pub......though I don't advice drinking and driving. read more

A beautifully kept, spacious and comfortable place with a range of food providers like Lavazza, BurgerKing and including I think Northern Ireland's first Gregg's the baker. What a pity Gregg's or its franchisee charges 35% more than it does on the High Street for its breakfast deal with the £2 breakfast deal coming in here at a whopping £3 and only half the bacon portion that I am used to getting. I really dislike this: nothing but nothing stops me giving repeat business to a place as fast as being ripped off. No point claiming its the cost of rent (and it certainly won't be the cost of wages) as I just won't accept that the rent on a motorway five miles from Antrim town is dearer than Gregg's rent in Leeds or Chester city centre, it would be palpable nonsense to claim so and the plain truth here is that we are just being ripped - off so next time I'll go the extra few miles to Starbucks at Junction 1. Simples don't complain change loyalty. read more

5 star as it was first service station in NI and real clean and modern as expected......and the first Greggs....had my favourite of cheese and onion slice, reminded me of my uni days. Bit pricey but delicious. Great play area for kids. read more

Very plush new motorway services - great selection of food and coffee though pricey for anything more than a subway or burger king.

This place has it all if your looking for something to eat on a long drive or maybe not so long drive.

The Applegreen is a nice little service station near Antrim and you can get to it on your way home from Belfast if you use the motorway. For the restaurants and cafés, there is Burger King, Chopstix, a Bakewell bakery, Subway, Greggs and a shop where you can buy stuff like ice cream and slushies for the road. Upstairs, there is a Lavazza coffee shop and more seating, so if it is ever busy, you can just walk upstairs and take a seat. From the upstairs, there are big windows which have lovely views of the Northern Irish countryside with a wind turbine and a donkey sanctuary among the scenery you can admire. There are toilets on the ground floor which were spotless and spacious. There is plenty of seating to choose from on both levels too. There is also a petrol station attached which has both unleaded and diesel fuel for your car. I loved Applegreen when I visited and it brought Greggs to NI. Thanks for bringing your famous sausage rolls and pastries to Northern Ireland, Greggs! read more
