Trying to work out what I liked better, the service or the food?! It's a tough call…read more Let me talk you through it. I walked up the dark stairs to be greeted by one of the most friendly waitresses you are ever likely to meet. She sat me at a table of four even though I was on my own which made me feel less of a loser. I sat down and browsed the menu made up of various burgers. I was going to go for the double cheese burger when the waitress came over and showed me their offer. A double cheese burger, fries and a drink for £8! Unreal! I obviously went for that deal, helpfully guided by the waitress. The food took about 10 minutes to come, the chips were served on a tray and the burger dame covered in foil. Packed lunch style! The chips were deep fried but still had a potatoey consistency. The burger was American style just the way I like it. A soft bun and a tender burger patty with plenty of fresh salad. Incredible! The decor is dive style! Think graffiti! They have an alcohol licence too so if you fancy a beer and burger knock yourself out! Easy five stars, for service alone. This is my kind of place, can't wait to go back with some company!

Second trip here, felt I should give it a chance again since the first time I went it was just…read moreafter it had opened. I sort of found it strange that this place opened around the time that Five Guys appeared in Victoria Square, given that it has basically the exact same menu as Five Guys, with the exact same idea of it being a sort of "build your own" with as many toppings as you want. Kind of felt like they were trying to ride the coat-tails of Five Guys, but unfortunately they don't seem to be doing a very good job of it. It has the same high price as Five Guys (for 2 people, one having a double burger with bacon, the other having a single burger with cheese, some angry fries to share and two milkshakes, it was £24), but unfortunately it doesn't quite have as much of an appeal in terms of the quality of the food. The burgers are quite dry, they're extremely messy, which isn't a great thing if you're trying not to spill it all over yourself, the redeemer is the crack sauce which is pretty great. The fries are strange, they're the same quality as you would get from a good chip shop, but I don't think they goes very well with the whole American restaurant aesthetic they're going for. Really, if you're wanting to support local, eat here. If you're wanting to have something a bit more put together but for the exact same price, go eat at Five Guys.

Belfast is currently experiencing a burger boom and Five Guys are the most recent restaurant to…read morejoin the meaty party. This place has been hyped up loads in the media and online so I was really excited to try their grub. Yesterday Belfast was absolutely hiving so it probably wasn't the best idea to pop in to Five Guys at 1pm. This may have slightly tainted my experience. On entrance a staff member handed us a paper menu and ushered us towards the counter to order, the queues were huge but the staff coped admirably working their way through the line. The ordering system is straight forward. Order at the till, you're given a number and then you wait at the service area to grab your order. This seemed to confuse people and rather than line up and wait for their food everyone huddled together in a semi circle around the guy handing the brown bags out. Once you get your food you then have the choice either to take out or eat in. The only problem with eating in is there is nowhere near enough space to sit in. Yesterday every table was occupied and as the seconds ticked by our food got colder and colder - a real pet hate of mine. We eventually sat down at a booth beside other diners. The food itself was OK, nothing special. I ordered a burger with Jalepenos but these were completely devoid of flavour adding nothing but extra crunch to the burger. The burger patty was nice but not out of this world. The major bonus were the chips. They were 'real' and you could tell they had been freshly prepared in house. The price is what will get you! £21 for 2 meals and I didn't even have a drink!? To me that seems extortionate, especially when you can't get a seat to sit down and eat your meal. In my opinion there's plenty of local places in Belfast doing better food than Five Guys without the pomp and ceremony so why not spend £20 there? Definitely worth a try to ease your curiosity but I personally wouldn't rush back. 2.5 Stars!

I was greeted upon entering the restaurant, and was given a choice of full menu inside or a limited…read morepatio menu if I was going to sit outside. It's nice to find a place that has big windows for looking out at a gorgeous day and also patio seating for those who want to feel the sunshine on their face. This place has a great vibe overall, very spacious inside with lots to look at. Menu seems to have a little something for everyone. I decided on the tempura-battered cod fish tacos and they were really good, especially the chipotle ranch sauce (or whatever creamy spicy something was on them!).

Grand! Very delicious and friendly staff. We got carb-dashian and tots. Love the Craic sauce!read more

As Snagglepuss would say "Heavens to Murgatroyd"…read more The rip you off blind market has returned with even higher prices than last year. I didn't think that the robber merchants could increase prices this year as they were extortionate last year. I was wrong. I think I was in this market for 10 minutes Christmas past but this year I left after five minutes. Never again. I nearly swallowed my teeth when I saw a plastic skinned hotdog being offered at a stall here at six quid, or $8 equivalent, and then I saw an Americano coffee at another place here at three quid. Three quid for an Americano - no chance. The coffee was being sold without any embarrassment at a wooden cart and if you preferred a hot chocolate here instead then according to the mini blackboard display you'd have to part with four quid. Despite the stonking prices there are no seats here, no comfort here, instead customers just stand in the damp cold and part with nearly an hour of minimum wage for a 20 year old just for a hot chocolate. Now I hope I'm not coming across as mean, but I could go into Castlecourt and get a first class Chinese king prawn meal at Yangtze on the first floor and receive change out of six quid. In fact that's what I did. I could cross the road from this market in under two minutes into the comfortable heat and seats (and toilet) in Hotel Chocolat and enjoy their first class hot chocolate for £3.50. I really, really despise being ripped off. As I wandered the stalls, trader after trader displayed prices that made me suck in my breath and think 'yer having a laugh'. Am I delighted we live in austerity as I'd hate to see the prices here in good times.

The Christmas Continental Market arriving at Belfast City Hall always signifies the start of the…read morefestive season and approach of Yuletide. Filled with food, mulled wine, olives, sweets, treats, music, merriment and gift ideas, a meander around this market is a must. I go numerous times every year and love to soak up the atmosphere with a cup of warming mulled wine in hand. Yes the stalls are often the same, yes it's often crammed full of people, but it's only on our City Hall doorstep for a few weeks each year so I can forgive all that. I'm a devout advocate of this market for the Christmas spirit, warmth and excitement it brings to Belfast each year. Love it.

Best Chippy in Bangor (and I've tried them all)! Staff at least smile - not like many others I…read morecould name. Food was excellent - Fish supper and sausages can't be beaten! Curried chip very tasty! This shop has been here for years. A family business run by Colin who can be found often on Sundays when the shop is closed polishing the tiles (which explains why the shop is beyond spotless)! Would recommend this Chippy to anyone visiting Bangor as well as regulars. Support these small shops - they're being elbowed out but the big restaurants!

I was running late on my way home after having to follow a diversion when I noticed another sign, and was feeling reasonably ravenous, so decided to go for it. The Chippie is new, clean and modern looking inside, and the counter is low so you can completely see all of the food preparation areas. They have the usual selection of foods, your burgers, chips, hot dogs, pasties, meal deals, kids and pensioner deals, etc. I just happened to be passing through, and got a pastie bap and a coke to eat when I got home. Even though it was cold by the time I finally arrived home, it was still delicious - plus the baps were really fresh, some places don't bother with this. Nice one!

I was unsure what to expect from this chip shop, but seeing that it's advertised in so many…read moreroundabouts in Glengormley I really had to give it a go. I was not disappointed. The shop is really clean and well put together. The food gets to you quick and fresh, I noticed that they only started to fry the chips after I placed my order, so they were not sitting about going stale, and therefore they taste incredible. The best part of my experience at the chippie was their 'big foot' hot dog, a foot long pork sausage (not a frankfurter) with relish, onions and ketchup for £2.70. I was amazed that I managed to finish it, but as it was so nice, it was really hard to stop eating. I would ask anyone that ever goes here to try it. It is really that great.
