    Nice lamp
    Tara M.

    Had to work out what this place is trying to be. Advertises itself as food,bar and disco. Will be interesting to see if that works out. The feel of the place is low budget. The food and drinks lack the depth of flavour you would get in another places. Sampled pizza and wraps. The dough wasn't the nicest. Quite think and stodgy. Like a bad frozen pizza. Interior is quirky with random ornaments and lots of graffiti. The staff are nice and cope well under pressure.

    Definitely appeared to be & tasted like a shop-bought, frozen-type of pizza base!

    Date of visit: Saturday, 3 September 2016 @2pm. Decor: Fantastic, I loved the funky colours and street-art-style wall murals. A really different, unique and distinctive restaurant space. Ambience: Dragged down by lack of clientele, there was only one other table occupied whilst I was there. Loud music helped lift the vibe a little. Food: Really not good. I was with two friends and we all ordered pizza with sides and dips. The pizza base was definitely not hand-made, instead it appeared to be poor-quality, shop-bought base with the bottom strangely doused in white flour. The tomato sauce was too strong, again like shop-bought tomato puree, whilst cheese was a bland cheddar. My side of fries were good but the dips came in very tiny portions. Overall pretty poor food. Drink: I started with a G&T which was fine, except I asked for a slimline tonic and only realised after pouring that it was standard tonic water. We shared a bottle of Pinot Grigio which was not the best, looking and tasting a bit yellow and old even though the year was only 2015. Service: Staff extremely pleasant and helpful, but unfortunately from start to finish there were a litany of mistakes made. Not getting the slimline tonic I asked for was just the start of a list of errors, thus followed: * I was given the wrong dip with my food and had to ask for the correct one. * One of our party was served fries instead of the Cajun Fries she ordered. * We thought we would try a Prosecco Fizz cocktail for dessert but they didn't have the ingredients to make them, so Vandal really should remove these drinks from their menu. * We were overcharged on our bill. The pizzas included a side and dip on the menu but we were charged extra for these. We pointed this out and had the bill amended, well kind of, they give us an amended bill with sides removed but with the dips still listed, as the till couldn't deduct these. So our bill stated one price but staff verbally told us the cost minus the dips. In conclusion, a very poor and disappointing experience and I won't be returning to Vandal. Unless there are serious improvements, I can't foresee this place lasting very long. One star for the cool, unique decor and one star for the two guys who served us as they were so nice, despite all the botch-ups. The food was not expensive, but I would happily pay more for better quality...

    About 20 of us Yelpers ventured to Vandals for a real American feast. Vandals is the recently opened restaurant come club above and part of Whites. It's a real US graffiti styled bar/eatery/club. We were served a sharing platter of stuffed jalapeños, onion rings, battered mushrooms, BBQ wings and blue cheese wings, skinny fries, dips and a BBQ chicken pizza between two (for £23). This was followed by an aero ice cream sundae (£7.50). An absolute mountain of food and it was delicious.....could easily feed a family of four!!!! This really reminded me of being in the States...now I need to sleep it off!!

    Vandal sharing platter, simply devine!

    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.

I hate it when restaurants do this, I can understand it for Christmas party bookings, but dislike when deposits are requested throughout the year. It would prevent me from returning with a large party in future. It's just a hassle trying to collect money from people you won't necessarily be seeing before an evening out. Alternatively one person has to cover the deposit before the meal, which is unfair and leaves them out of pocket until the night out. Other than this we had a good overall experience. Waiting staff were excellent and the menu is huge with a vast selection of dishes, even plenty of veggie options - burgers, pizzas, pastas etc. I ordered vegetarian fajitas which were served with a side of fries, 3 fajita pancakes, a large sizzling plate of mixed veg (mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes) plus guacamole, sour cream and salsa. The guacamole and salsa weren't fresh, instead they seemed quite processed. But it was good food - not great - but filling, tasty and reasonable for the price. Our whole party enjoyed their meals. We also ordered dessert and the Banoffee Pie was absolutely gorgeous- though I did have dessert envy when I saw the Nutella Dough Balls some of the others ordered! Ginger, gin, beer and plenty of wine flowed. In total two courses, drinks and tips cost approximately £35 per person. A good night was had by all. This is a nice, casual, relaxed restaurant and I would return - but not with a large party as I dislike the insistence on a deposit and enforced service charge. Whilst I recognise the reasoning for these charges and appreciate they are becoming common in a lot of restaurants, I will primarily take my custom to establishments who don't insist on a deposit. A good, solid 3.5 stars from me...

    There are some diners in Belfast that have been a huge let down to me (Diarmuid P and I disagree on…read moreSpringsteen's!). I hadn't much hope for Jennifer's Diner either. It's in a part of town that I wouldn't really praise for it's restaurant's, usually it's just the Café's and Deli's around this area and sure enough the food served at Jennifer's serves regular Café fare. This doesn't mean that what they serve is bad, I ordered the Burger and chips and was quick pleased with it. The burger was made fresh from mince and wasn't just a frozen mass bought patty from a whole sellers. The service was quick, the waitress was really friendly and bubbly and the price's are fine. Quite pleased to find this place, try it out!

Jennifer's is somewhere I would certainly come back to as the food was great, quick and hot and its really easy to get to and just has that nice atmosphere about it helped by the great staff.

    If you're a fan of burgers and American Diners than you're going to love Belfast's newest burger…read morebar, Eddie Rockets. One of only a few in Ireland ER's is already proving to be a big hit on the Lisburn Road. Yesterday when I paid a visit it was absolutely jam packed. But the pin striped, attentive staff managed to deal with the hoards of burger lover admirably. The whole restaurant follows the USA diner theme, red tiles, bold brash posters with American slogans and red leather booths. Right down to even the tiniest details this place is perfect - they have mini duke boxes (50's style) where you can pay 20p for your choice of song. Right on to the important bit, the food. The menu is full of tempting delights but I went for the Smokestack burger upon a recommendation. I have to say I was not disappointed! The Burger bun was soft and fluffy, the burger was meaty and the extras combination were sublime. The best part of the burger was definitely the 'secret' sauce - sort of like a vinegary mayo. I'm underselling it with that description. Burgers will set you back £6.45 but they are not small and you certainly won't be hungry after eating them. I loved Eddie Rocket's - the only tiny thing I would mention is that it took a while for us to get our food which made us rush eating it. I will put this down to how busy it was. The place certainly isn't understaffed. Top marks from me - there's so much on the menu to sample that I will have to make a trip back soon!

When you enter Eddies you can see that it is just like stepping into a real American diner and a great touch is that there is a juke box at every table. The food is great also.

I loved the food so much that I went back for seconds the next day and I can davey say that I will be back again.
