Barking Dog Restaurant - beef shin burger is definitely not your average burger

Burgers are ubiquitous and far too common in the US, but that doesn't mean it's where you…read morenecessarily come across the best. I've had my fair share of memorable burgers from coast to coast in America, but just glancing at a picture of the beef shin burger transports me back across the pond to the Barking Dog. I remember the few days I spent in Belfast fondly and of the many memories, my meal at the Barking Dog was a definite highlight. In a rather quaint and charming neighborhood, I took a nice short stroll from my Airbnb and came across this gem of an establishment and decided I had to check it out. I had a nice beer to start, and it wasn't a Guinness because stouts aren't my thing, but whatever it was I remember it being excellent and local. Undoubtedly you could make this place a regular haunt and there is no shortage of drinks and food options to make this a go-to for a date, celebration, or a quick meal. The staff are welcoming, kind, and helpful and the general atmosphere is chill. The food for me was ethereal - a burger isn't just a burger here and what you get when you bite into the beef shin burger is a little slice of Heaven. Moist and tender are a given but the taste is just so divine with the caramelized onion, cheddar, and horseradish mayo melding into an union of perfection. It's hard not to describe one of the most memorable meals of my life in such hyperbole but the vivid recall I have of this particular place is uncanny and merits all the praise I can heap upon the fine folks that run the place. If timing had worked out, I would have eaten as meals here as I could have but I'll thank my lucky stars for at least giving me one opportunity to eat such a wonderful burger at such a wonderful eatery. A+ and a definite must when visiting Belfast.

This is a wonderful place. We really look forward to it when we know we are going…read more We are infrequent visitors as we only go here when we travel to Armagh to go to the Marketplace theatre and with covid it's only our third visit in about three years, so they'll not make much of a living on us. We've never been disappointed and we really enjoyed our latest visit. They get the meaning of hospitality: the welcome is warm, the food is great and all the staff charming. I opted for a steak & chips but it was a close run thing to a delicious sounding vegetarian risotto but it was my third dine out in 4 days with the other two being non meat, so steak it was. I asked for medium; I got medium. The meat was really flavoursome too. I asked for English mustard (best in the world) and it was a yes and I flipped the onion rings for tobacco onions and it was no problem. Just to note in passing the number of so called steak houses that don't have English mustard is as staggering as it is unacceptable. The tasty steak had a bacon jam spread atop. I'd never heard of it. It was salty, sweet so bacon, balsamic vinegar maybe sugar, I ate it all though my personal preference remains mustard. I'd like to try it as a spread on toasted crumpets with a lightly fried egg on top. The only thing I would change in my meal is the pepper sauce but again it's personal taste as I'd add double cream and a lot more black pepper. My wife opted for salmon and she declared it delicious. All in all another enjoyable meal in cosy surroundings. Hopefully we'll be back sooner rather than later.

Visited the Speckled hen a few weeks back for a family members 30th on a Tuesday evening. Heard…read moregreat reports and read great reviews. The menu was just up my street. With an extensive wine and craft beer choice there is something for everyone! On arrival we were a little confused to where the dining area was as we came in what we knew later to be the back bar entrance. Leading us into a separate dining area which had no one about. The bar staff were busy and didn't catch on that we were a little lost. A member of our party tried a door which took us into the restaurant area. We had a good table and it was relatively busy for a Tuesday. It turns out Tuesdays are a night with steaks on offer also, a good deal but I knew what I wanted before I got there. I chose the local scallops, black pudding crumb, lobster & parmesan infused risotto this looked great on arrival however I quickly spotted there was no black pudding and an addition of chopped king prawn to the risotto. The dish was a little bland but with additional parmesan it improved. Another lady with my party did not enjoy the risotto at all and really only ate the small scallops on top. For main course I went for the flat iron steak having loved it at another restaurant. I was informed by the waitress it was served pink... My favourite way for a steak! When the food was delivered there was a little mix up and tooing and froing. What seemed like a little misunderstanding over surf with some turf, kinda felt like a big deal to one of the waitresses. Having tucked in I could see the steak was more medium-well and as i bit in realised it was very tough, chewy and over cooked. I tried another bit and it was the same. I brought this to the attention of another waitress who quickly took it away. She returned to assure me another was on the way and that they would speak to supplier as this was unusually tough cut. I got my replacement which was exactly how I had imagined however my whole party had finished their meal and I felt a little like I as holding them up. We had brought our own cake for dessert and organised for the obligatory candles, parade and song. However before taking the cake out the waitress didn't check our table and it was missed by the guys Mum and daughter who'd went to the bathroom. Id tried to make eye contact to kitchen door but Birthday spotted her and she had to continue. Ha what a palava! We got no plates or forks with the heavily iced bday cake which we had to chase. I don't know what to make of here. Nearly want to try it again due to food being quite nice, friendly but inconsistent service and the great reputation it has built. Maybe this was an off night?

Seeing as the Speckled Hen is only up the street from me we thought we'd give their steak night a…read moretry and can safely say we weren't disappointed. Their steak night is every Tuesday and consists of 2 8oz steaks 2 sides and 2 sauces for £23, what a bargin. Steaks cooked to perfection and believe me I'm not shy at sending a steak back if it overcooked (if it's not rare it's not worth eating). They also do a great breakfast menu at weekends which is the perfect way to start your weekend. The bar has a great selection of beers, wines, spirits as well as a fantastic selection of craft beers including their very own.

Do yourself a favor and make reservations on a Saturday night. It's out in the countryside but…read moreit's lively because they have live traditional music. If you enter through the red door you can go either of two ways but you will want the restaurant in the back. Very open architectural feel to it. And very young appearing wait staff of local lasses under the watchful eye of John from Ballygally. Our dinner started with an appetizer--homemade quick bread which fabulous because it was made with Guinness! The two mains were the seafood special and then the venison. Perfectly prepared and well presented. Best meal in Ireland! Four stars, but.... Ok, we went back a week later. Not the same....the guys in the bar were telling mostly offensive, sexist, off-color, and crude jokes. The food was still good--had the house specials of steak and the breen--but our desert was a total disappointment; where was the lemon crud int? Totally missing, and the manager totally agreed. Then, he gave us another one and didn't charge us for it. But at the end, our waitress literally disappeared for 20 minutes only to reappear to wish us good night never acknowledging the dessert fiasco and her disappearance. Three stars...

We were having a lot of trouble finding somewhere open for lunch on a Sunday, but we were fortunate…read moreenough to come across Billy Andy's, which was both open and able to squeeze us in even though we didn't have a reservation. Behind the bar, there is a restaurant that is quite large and very popular. The Sunday menu is a two course set price menu, and there were so many excellent sounding options. I ended up choosing the prawns for the appetizer and the Larne salmon as my entree, and my husband had the lamb. The entrees were also accompanied by potatoes and vegetables. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked, and the staff were so friendly! We're very thankful that we stumbled across this gem during our trip, and we would highly recommend it.
