A pleasant enough experience for a typical pub lunch drop-in. Food was quite flavoursome & definitely better than the Christmas Dinner offering which was (at best & sorry to say) bland.

I was happily surprised at the interior, I had wrongly assumed it was a dark shabby pub, not somewhere I would feel comfortable. But it was fresh and colourful with the Christmas decorations up, staff were really nice and our order came quickly. We all enjoyed our food, the only thing I'd say is, I had the open prawn sandwich, and the wheaten bread was hard and dense, not nice at all. Everything else was lovely

Love this place. I visit it every time that I go to N Ireland ?? The atmosphere is so warm and friendly, the bar has a very wide selection of wines,beers and spirits and there is also a restaurant which has a very fair menu with plenty of choices for all sorts of dietary needs. Highly recommend.

I have been in ownies for a drink only a few times over the years. This time I went for a meal and was not disappointed, the staff where excellent and so helpful, the chef produced an awesome feast and I would give him 10 out of 10, it was delicious ?. Recommend 100%, I haven't met chef but a big cheers to him. Thank you very much.

Lovely pub. Went for Sunday lunch, but restaurant was fully booked, so had to settle for bar food. Service at bar a little slow, but friendly, courteous and efficient. Food took about 45 minutes to arrive, which was disappointing, as not too many diners.Food was very nice, and very reasonably priced. Will return, but to the restaurant.

Super wee friendly bar. Staff and customers having a great time. The banter was good. Service very quick and cheery. The bar itself was very clean and well laid out. Food was available although we didn't have anything. Looking at other folks though it did look very good.

What a great stop on a vacation with family. Something for everyone. Great prices in a cozy atmosphere.Dietary restrictions: Our gluten free diner was also accommodated without trouble.

Fantastic food, & great service, the only thing that lets it down is u have 2 order at the bar, the waitresses & waiter's don't take your order at the table.

I hired the private room at Ownies for a surprise party. Dinner was lovely and the staff were exceptional, going above and beyond to help make everything perfect and keep the surprise until the end. They were especially good with the kids.Thank you to everyone who was working on the night. Highly recommend this venue.Kid-friendliness: Very child friendly. Staff helped keep the kids and baby busy to allow us to enjoy our meal.
Called in for breakfast, fry was perfect and everything was cooked really well, staff really friendly and welcoming and has a nice atmosphere, best fry in Carrick area by far, actually fried and not dry potato and soda bread like most places, first time trying here and won't be going anywhere else again.

Lovely Sunday roast beef dinner. My daughter had turkey and ham which was slightly ruined by the cranberry sauce all over it - maybe put it in a separate pot and let it be optional instead of being all over the food. That said the food was delicious and hot - The children's meal that my granddaughter had came with a cone after so that was a definite winner! It was quite empty so can't comment on the atmosphere but i would recommend the place overall!

Went to Ownies for dinner one night this week with my wife. We arrived on time for our booking, sat downstairs as we waited for our table. Forty five minutes later we were shown upstairs to our table. Ten minutes later we gave our order to the waiter. I ordered the steak pie with chips, and my wife ordered a burger and chips. The meals were brought to the table fairly quickly, everything on the plates was hot and very tastey. My only complaint would be that the pie was NOT a pie. The pie!! was served in a bowl, steak pieces and mushrooms in a gravy sauce, with a very small piece of flakey pastry on top. The potato was a small spoonful of mashed potatoe with little bits of scallion mixed in, veg was a few very thin slices of carrot. I do have to say that the PIE??? was very very tastey. Staff are excellent.
