Unbelievably disappointing. If you're on a tour and this is the place the driver/tour guide brings you be prepared! The driver will get your order beforehand, upon arrival at the pub they will ask you if you did place an order with the driver and ask for your orders again. Make SURE they get your orders and give them to you not to other people. I suggest ask them to put down your name to make sure it's gonna be served to you. Follow up on your order every 5 minutes just to make sure it will arrive. It is unbearable to do a Giant's Causeway tour on an empty stomach as this is the only place you can get lunch prior to going there. Just imagine the staff telling you someone claimed your food 15 mins before the bus leaves. It might be unintentional and was an honest mistake, but I believe this pub is well informed that tourists will be dining there and should be well organised. What's the point of getting orders prior our arrival if you don't know who will be served first and who will need to have to wait. For tourists be warned and be prepared at least!!!

Went here for lunch before the big walk to Giant's Causeway, waited for 30 minutes for Irish stew, only to find out they served our food to someone else! Absolute disgrace! Ruined our Belfast trip!

The four of us had a lovely evening. There was a turf fire, a few locals and a very friendly bar keep. We had dinner, desserts and a drink or two. The food was excellent.

We went in just for a pint of Guinness, we were not disappointed! One of the best we have ever had. The staff were friendly and helpful too.

Very comfortable place with great soups, food a beer! The service was outstanding and the people running the place treated us very well. Can’t wait to go back!!

This stop along the Causeway Coast is truly one of the best. The combination of delicious food and incredible atmosphere is unbeatable. The crackling peat fire and the warm, welcoming locals at the bar create an authentic Irish/Northern Irish experience. We indulged in mouthwatering dishes, enjoyed refreshing drinks, and laughed until the early hours of the morning. The staff was friendly and the vibes were fantastic. I cannot recommend this place enough. Those who have a different opinion simply don't understand and should explore other options.

Gabrielle was amazing! By far the best service we have received in Ireland!!! She was friendly and offered lots of really good local advice. The chowder and sooooo delicious and the whiskey and beer were cheap!!

We stopped for lunch during a daylong tour. Fish chowder was amazing! Great burgers also. Clean, friendly and cozy in the front bar room, with lots of room in the outer room for a crowd. Perfect place to get a bite!

The Chili Chicken pasta is gorgeous and if not well worth the visit alone, the view is spectacular and on a stormy day the fire is always lit. We have been before and will again as the bar and table service is prompt and very friendly.
