    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.

    Atmosphere and service are great. Very friendly staff and some cozy corners and unique seating…read moreareas in this establishment. The food was unfortunately on the bland side. We enjoyed the appetizer of Guinness and onion soup and the Inn's bread but they weren't as special as the menu descriptions made them out to be: the whiskey and smoked cheese roll was hard to tell either of those flavors but the butter and pesto were very good. The soup was fine but I guess we had high expectations for it to be better than your average French onion soup. Again for entrees I think the menu descriptions built up our expectations but everything seemed even more bland than the apps. The BAHARAT SPICE RUMP OF IRISH LAMB was cooked well but was pretty flavorless even with the hummus and sauce and the lamb fat potato stack just soft potato. The unique piccolo peppers were the only thing that provided some pop to the dish- maybe it wasn't seasoned properly? The filet with the Bushmills whiskey black pepper cream and roast mushroom tomato and rocket was seasoned a little better but the cream was lacking some punch. Good but not great. It all sounds good but doesn't feel like elevated cooking especially for the price. Finally the desserts were split. We ordered a shot of the Bushmills 10 yr to go with the butterscotch sundae which made the sundae perfect. Without it I'm thinking way too sweet. The milk and honey delice was disappointing. We ate the ganache and left the rest. The crust had a strange herb like flavor that was very unappealing.

    This is a beautiful restaurant and the service was impeccable. But it is very expensive for both…read moredrinks and food in comparison to other establishments in town. It is probably why the local folks we met did not recommend it because it was expensive. But overall we had a good experience and cannot complain about the quality of the food or service.

    So, this was one of the weirdest experiences we've had in a long time. We arrived right before…read moreopening and joined a queue, waiting to enter. We were sat at a lovely table by a staff member and given menus. We looked it over and waited and waited.... No one came to the table. We learned 30 minutes later that we had to go order at a bar, and that no one actually takes your order. It wasn't clear, because there were no signs, instructions, and waiters were bringing food to the tables. We then hungrily joined a standing line to order. A waitress told us to move forward to an open spot to order, only to find that the spot was not in fact ready for a new order. We waited in that spot for so long that 4 parties ordered before us, that were behind us in line. They ordered at the register that we originally were in line for. No one acknowledged us, no clear order was advertised. It was SO weird! So we finally order, and after a very expensive bill for the food that we ordered, we were told to wait standing until the drinks were made. We needed to walk the drinks back to our table. We waited and waited, while they took other people's orders. After while, a staff member showed us that the drinks were waiting for us, ice melted, and no one told us. Ugh. We go back to the table. Many tables around us ate and are leaving, as they seem to rush people in and out. We wait for 40 minutes and our food isntvthere. We ask about it, and right away, someone else's order shows up. It's not our food. We bring it to attention of the server, and they take it away. After a while our food arrives. The dishes were good, drinks ok. The service seemed like they tried to be friendly but it was such a disorganized crap show that they might not have realized how bad it really was. My family wanted to shop after but we were so ready to leave the area, we just took off. Bad experience, wish we tried another recommendation. We spent a lot of time, a lot of money, and really felt taken advantage of.
