Stellar service!! I mean, I don't know if it was intentional but it felt like a floating service…read more We had plenty of waitstaff the kept our drinks full and made sure our orders came out hot! Garlic bread is incredible though the "aioli" tasted like it was just mayo but the bread didn't need it at all. Goujons were good but the bbq sauce didn't taste bbq at all. The pepper sauce was nice though. Star here was the rotisserie chicken: fall off the bone and cooked perfectly. Again though, sauce was mid. Nothing on this menu needs a sauce (except Goujons) but they all come with them! Dishes def stand alone. All that said, the device made the meal!

I walked up the hill and there it was. Lot of people standing outside on the patio but no seats. I went in to the small bar on the lower level and a very friendly male bartender waited on me. I wandered upstairs to the second level where it was a huge space and had plenty of big screen TVs for the golf. I found the place to be very comfortable and great views of the water. The young guy at the second level bar was nice but a bit of an airhead (the drink was £11 and I handed him £20, he stood waiting for more money and ummmmmmm didn't I give you a 20? He seemed clueless about the money) We had a laugh but prob a good idea to know what the local money looks like! The top level of this place was an amazing view but it was Sunday afternoon and the bar was not open. Has more of a night feel. It's a fantastic building and I enjoyed my visit.

The best of the best is a high honor to achieve in Brian's burger world. I visited on a Sunday late afternoon. The sunday after Pride Day. It was quiet, and there were many open tables. The servers were both really nice, and the food was cooked perfectly and delivered swiftly. I can't say specifically why I can't give it a 5/5; my burger standards are high. It was right up there knocking on the door to a perfect score. To each their own, but it *just* missed the mark.

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.

I have to agree with another review that, based on the hype I read about online, I was pretty…read moreunderwhelmed with this burger. The flavor and the char on the meat is kinda nice, but the meat is cooked to hell and dry as a desert... that's desert, not dessert. The sauce had to do that work, and even with 'extra sauce' requested, it was not enough make up for the dry burger. Staff is friendly, but to my palette, the food was barely acceptable and reminiscent of the pre foil-wrapped burgers you get at a hospital or school cafeteria. There's a time and place for that type of burger, but not at these prices.

If you remember the much missed Fouters Bistro you won't recognise the place now! The Smoking Goat is primarily a traditional pub with cosy nooks and crannies, real ales on tap and in bottles, and a great wee bar menu. The lunchtime options feature rare breed beef burger, venison sausage sandwich, pulled pork slider, smoked haddock fishcake, black pudding scotch egg with whisky mustard and more - all pretty imaginative stuff for this part of the world! Vegetarians are valued customers and it was a rare treat to find myself swithering over the menu. I narrowed things down to the red pepper falafel or the jerk spiced portobello mushroom burger with pineapple salsa. I went with the latter and it didn't disappoint, though I could have done with a few more of their lovely crisp fries on the side. Yay for free wifi without a password. I found it impossible to get a data signal down there so it came in handy. Customer-wise this is a good spot for socialising as well as dining. There are events going on throughout the week including pub quizzes and they have a pull down screen which I think they are showing the 6 nations rugby on, though this is not a 'sports bar' and there are no TVs. This is just a personal opinion, but I'd love to see the music turned down a wee notch to make conversation easier, and the lighting turned up a wee notch so the menu can be more easily read. Despite all the hard stone surfaces the acoustics were excellent. I can see this being a good venue for the occasional intimate music gig. Recommended!
