Harrys Cushendall — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

We were recommended to visit here by our guesthouse in Garron View and what a great suggestion. We managed to get a table for tonight (a busy Saturday) and were given a warm welcome.

All the staff were really friendly and doing a great job as it was fully booked.

We had a steak from the specials which was cooked perfectly with "tabacco onions". These delightful crispy treats are made from shaved onions which are then lightly battered and fried. We could have eaten a plate of these on their own!

My main of seafood linguini was the most generous version I've ever eaten. There were three types of fish (haddock, salmon and cod?) plus many juicy prawns. They also added green beans and broccoli which was an unusual but very nice touch 🥦

We finished with two desserts: chocolate cake and sticky toffee pudding which were both served warm with a scoop of ice cream.

All in all a great place to visit.

We had went to Harry's upon a locals recommendation, upon arriving we were seated by a young lady who didn't speak a word, just threw a few things onto a table and walked off.

Now worth noting the gentleman that resumed our service was great, very help, polite and professional.

My partner had ordered a chicken stack which she thoroughly enjoyed, myself on the other hand ordered duck from the specials. This was not great at all. The bed of mash the duck lay on had no flavour whatsoever, you would expect the mash to be creamy, maybe even buttery, but no this was like eating boiled potatoes. The sauce was strange and not nice.

Now, when the waiter returned and noticed I hadn't ate any of the food, he very kindly offered to make a different dish, but by this stage my partner was finished, so I had refused.

I'd like to return and try something else, just to be sure, and will surely...

Tuesday night dinner just before the kitchen closed.

We got 2 Harry's burgers on recommendation of the young chap serving. Food came out quick, was hot and a reasonable portion. Unfortunately the burger patty had quite clearly been cooked from frozen and was appalling quality. Looked and tasted like it had been microwaved then overcooked - the meat was not fresh and tasted dry, processed and salty. The chips were decent enough and served with gravy. Side salad consisted of about 2 curly lettuce leaves and some balsamic glaze.

Felt robbed paying £16 per head for something that could've been thrown together from the freezer isle at Tesco. I'm genuinely confused as to why they wouldn't consider making a fresh patty with good Irish beef and charge a bit more. The lad serving asked how things were but they were closing up and I didn't have the energy to...
