Visited here for the 1st time and avoided a starter as I wanted the banoffee pie for dessert …read more Well let's just say I didn't even get as far as the dessert! I ordered the cajun salmon which came on a bed of salad and a side of garlic potatoes. The portion of salmon was above average and the meal was beautiful. Will defo be back again and will hopefully have room for dessert this time. Would definitely recommend for value for money. Very impressed.

It's unfortunate I have to leave this 2 stars because the food was really good. We stayed at the…read morehotel and ate lunch one day at the restaurant. The food was fabulous but the service was so confusing and all the wait staff just seemed overwhelmed and frazzled. After lunch they brought us the bill but never came back to get it so we just went to the hostess station ourselves- so weird. I attempted to get a bakery snack once and then attempted to order food a different time and could not believe the service. Multiple people just ignored me and when I approached them, they referred me to other people. This is absolutely ridiculous so I just went without eating. It's really too bad because the food was so good.

We went to Howler's for a family celebration. It was myself who suggested we go here as it was…read morerecommended to me by a friend, and having checked them out online, I liked the look of what they had on offer. We got seated upon arrival and had a look at the menus, I decided to go for the American Fried Jumbo Hotdog and chips with cheese. The rest of our party made their decisions too, and after a while, a member of staff came over to take our order. While we were actually in the process of telling her our order, she randomly just walked off and had to be called back. Eventually we got the order placed. Food came within reasonable time, but unfortunately for the duration of our meal, no one came near us once, not even to check if we were enjoying the food, we had to actually go and find someone to place a new drinks order. The food was passable. This place was recommended to me, and I know they have had good reviews elsewhere, so I can only guess that I must have got them on a bad day at the office!

Moes Grill is somewhat of a hidden gem to those living in Magherafelt. Mainly due to the fact that…read moreit's located on the Castledawson roundabout and not actually in the town. It seems to be most popular with those passing through on their way to Belfast from the Derry direction and vice versa. Anyway, my experience? Upon entering the restaurant (only my second time altogether) you're greeted with an American diner type of look similar to that of frankie and Bennys, but no where near as hectic. Myself and my girlfriend were seated quickly which was great. However it took them about 15 minutes to come and ask us for our order, even though there were only 1 or 2 other tables in. In fairness though this could be down to the lack of waitresses, I only saw 2. This wasn't a great start, however once the food was brought I immediately let the service side of things go. I had ordered a chicken and bacon sub and got a starter or chicken wings also (asked for them to come out together, their lunch deal is 2 courses for £7.95!). Anyway, this food was gorgeous and in all honesty I couldn't finish it, even though this was my first meal of the day and it was roughly 2 o clock! My girlfriend had the classic beef burger and chips and it too was beautiful. All in all if you could just have one or two extra staff on then you'd be flying as your food was fantastic!

The Happy Garden is a late night Chinese in Joymount, conveniently located right beside Ownies,…read morewhich is perfect for those Friday or Saturday nights when you come out of the bar after a few drinks and decide that you simply must have something to eat for when you get home. The interior is bright and has plenty of seating (because it can get pretty packed at the bar kicking out time) with a large menu up on the wall with a plethora of dishes available to take away, all at reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and upbeat which is really something, considering at that time of night they usually have slurring drunken punters to contend with. Food wise, I have to admit, there are nicer Chineses in Carrick, but they don't need to worry about this, due to their location and late night opening, they will always do a roaring trade.

I have eaten out of it a handful of times over the years due to being in the pub next door, and want to get something to take home with me to eat. This place is the obvious choice as it's right next door and I can grab something while waiting on my taxi. Any time I've been in the food has been passible but nothing special. They offer all the usual dishes you'd expect. Not awful, but there are better options.

In my opinion this smaller, local business is so much better. You always get a bit of craic from the staff which I think is important, not a depressed spotty teen or automaton serving you! I didn't even used to be a huge pizza fan, but after trying the 'Pizzarella Special' ... drool... I don't think I could go back (Cheese, tomato, onions, peppers, mushrooms, salami, and ham & olives or corn & pineapple ...I go for the latter) it's like one big giant feast of a pizza, great for when you're near starving! They usually put on week day specials where you can grab a bargain for a family deal. Their sundry items are spot on too (think perfectly cooked garlic bread, hard on outside, soft on inside, with melted 'supreme cheese' running off it ... mmm) *Goes to dial number* Too much temptation!

Friday was upon us once again, and it was time to have a traditional Domino's meal deal, but unfortunately I just could not get through. They aren't always the best at answering the phone in that branch, so I thought nothing of it and jumped into the car and drove there (I'd have had to have collected it anyway, since I live outside of their delviery area) But when I got there, the queue was ridiculous, and I was very hungry. I had my heart set on pizza by this stage, so looked up Vicinity on my phone, to see if there was anywhere else nearby, and it threw up this wee place (I'd never heard of it before) I got there in a couple of minutes, and was pleased to see there was not much of a queue, so wasted no time in ordering my pizza with the usual toppings, cheese, tomato, peppers and onions. All in all, it came to just over a tenner, which is less than I would have paid, and it tasted great..Not quite a patch on Domino's, I must admit, but I would certainly go back!
