Food was so amazing we came back for a second round the next day. The staff was also very polite and helpful.

I'm not sure where the lack of love is coming from for this place, but we had the opposite…read moreexperience! We came in, very hungry, after a tour at the distillery, and very cold due to the arctic gale force winds that let smacking us! Once inside, we considered just moving in! The place is literally at the entrance to the Giants Causeway visitors center parking lot. It's a cute, rustic (like every other building in the area) building with equally quaint interior that trends towards a pub with a subtle nautical theme. Darker woods, lighter walls, a nice bar and several rooms that lead into each other, but seem very separate. The vibe is perfect! They've got plenty of Irish pub fare, most of which is hot - a key piece of info as most fingers were fighting for feeling at this point. We ordered Steak and Guinness pie, fish pie, fish and chips, a couple scones and Irish Stew. Ravenously hungry, we tackled this beastly lunch and all left full and warm. The scones were closer to biscuits, but were probably the best we've had in the country - and my better half loves her some scones! The food came out quick - the place was crazy busy and it still took less than 10 minutes. By the time we were done, we wondered if we could just stow away in the basement and live off the scones and cream! Parking was best done in the visitors center parking lot so make sure you're coming out here where you've already paid for the trip out to the coastline. The was exactly what we hoped it would be and exactly what we were looking for on this typical Irish spring day!

If you want to grab a bite before or after visiting the Causeway and you enjoy suffering, The Nook…read moreis the place for you. Our group ordered three meals. A "steak burger" for me, a chicken ciabatta for my wife, and a chicken sandwich for our friend that was nothing more than bread, mayo, and chicken. All three dishes shared one thing in common: a level of disappointment I didn't think food could physically achieve. My burger was somehow crunchy and chewy at the same time. I don't know how that is physically possible. The temperature was off, the taste was weird, and the texture felt like it was actively fighting back. My wife's chicken had fake grill lines and actual gray spots, which is exactly the kind of visual you want right before eating. Our friend's sandwich made him sick, which honestly felt like the most accurate review of the entire meal. Inside, the vibe would be cool if anything had been updated since The Troubles, but it hasn't. You order at the bar, where the staff greets you with the emotional warmth of a DMV waiting room. You also get to pay for tap water, which really ties the whole experience together. The food tasted like it came from the back of a freezer last touched in 2005. It fully lives up to the stereotype of bland, sad, English-adjacent cooking. Even prison food probably clears a higher bar. It's crowded, but only because there are two food options in the whole area. Even with that, stay hungry. Wait until you're back in Belfast or Dublin. A gas-station Burger King will bring you more joy. And yes, it's overpriced. Painfully so. It would have been overpriced even if the food were good, which it wasn't. What absolutely blows my mind is that this place somehow averages four stars on Yelp. I am genuinely shocked. I don't know who is rating this, but I can only assume they all lost bets or taste buds. Final verdict: The Causeway is incredible. The Nook is not. Go if you genuinely enjoy misery in restaurant form.

Overall Value: FANTASTIC lunch spot when visiting Giant's Causeway. Local and fresh ingredients…read morefor some of the best grilled cheeses we ever had, plus amazing desserts, plus unique coffees/drinks, all at a very reasonable price. When factoring price, this was easily one of our favorite food spots during our entire trip. Do yourself a favor and skip the overpriced restaurants, and walk/drive the 30 seconds from Giant's Causeway to Maegden for lunch when visiting. The Food: We got the Maegden Mix grilled cheese with corndale salami (£7) and the Smoky Special grilled cheese (smoked cheddar with Corndale chorizo and red pepper/chilli chutney, £7.50). The grilled cheeses were phenomenal. The ingredients were all so fresh and high quality, it really was one of the best grilled cheeses I have ever had, with perfect mixture of crunch brown crust and overflowing gooey cheese. The Smoky Special also had a delightful kick to it, and really stood out. The grilled cheeses also came with a side of homemade pickles - we picked jalapenos and pickled watermelon. I have never had pickled watermelon before, but my mind was blown - such a unique, awesome flavor. The grilled cheese were so good, we also opted for dessert and got the ice cream "slider", which is ice cream in between two chocolate chip cookies topped with fudge and toasted marshmellow. (£4.50). Wow. There was a whole lot going on there. The ice cream is so rich and flavorful, and the combination of flavors really impressed us. A big slider, definitely enough for two to share (although it gets a bit messy). We also got Pineapple chilli soda (£2.50) and Golden Latte (blend of tumeric, cacao, coconut, and vanilla, £3.20) to drink. The Golden Latte was interesting and delicious - the tumeric really came through in a nice way that I had not experienced before in a drink. The chilli in the pineapple chilli soda was a little bit more subtle than I expected. It was a refreshing drink, just a little underwhelming based on the description. Space and Pace: This is a foodtruck located in a field, less than a minute drive from Giant's Causeway. There are plenty of benches for seating. All the food/drinks are made to order, so it takes a few minutes to actually be served. Absolutely worth it! Service: Really friendly and patient with our questions, with great recommendations.

I had the smoked salmon to start followed by amazing seabass thermidor. Both were beautifully prepared and presented. This is a hidden gem on the north coast, buried in historic Bushmills, The distillers arms is somewhere to hunt out.

This is a great place to stop for a bite before or after a tour of the neighbouring Bushmills…read moredistillery. The meals are generous and really tasty. The atmosphere was comfortable and warm. The service is warm and friendly. My only complaint was that it was a bit slow. BF and I made it in just at the edge of the Sunday brunch price break. We didn't have anything to drink besides water, but even that was classy, served with triple citrus wedges. The soup was warming and lovely, and my lamb shank was falling-off-the-bone tender. Served on a bed of champ, with extra potatoes on the side. We finished with a Baileys creme brulee which was spot on. BF's coffee was served with a minty chocolate. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food we got. It was a chilly Sunday and they had every reason to take their time; as soon as we told them we were in a bit of a rush at the end, the servers got us the bill quickly and we were able to be out of there fast. If you like potatoes with your potatoes, lovely food, a warm atmosphere with art and jazz, and a crackling wood fire while you wait for a table, choose the Distiller's Arms.
