This hidden gem is an absolute must. From the outside it looks like a quaint old cottage and the architecture is beautiful to look at. The inside remides me of somewhere you would go to write you life story and feel relaxed doing it. I was greeted by 2 friendly smiling staff who immediately made me feel welcome and the smell of the fresh made food is so good. It was hard to pick from the menu as I would have happily ate everything, but in the end I settled for the smash burger and fries. Normally I hate fries with a passion but these were warm crunchy potato filled parcels coated in a heavenly cajun seasoning that paired perfectly with the garlic mayo dip. The star of the show was the smash burger. It was grilled to perfection. The caramelised edged of the beef was like heaven and when you got a bite of it along with the bacon, pickles and sauce your taste buds danced and celebrated life. This is easily the best burger I've had in the ballymena/Antrim/Randalstown area and gives Bunsen burger in belfast and absolute kicking. I can't wait to come back with my wife and kids. Please, please please do your and your taste buds a favour and visit this hidden treasure trove of flavour in...

I also noticed that I was overcharged for certain item. I calculated the total in my head and requested a receipt, which had not been offered. When I confronted the staff about the overpayment, she apologise and refunded me the difference.
Additionally, upon seating the table was dirty, and had to request a staff member to clean it. They sprayed cleaning products on it without consideration for the children and adults nearby. They also set a dirty white basket on a another table with people seated on it without any consideration. They looked disgusted.
My poached eggs were overcooked. Again I had to confront a staff member as no one came to check in. They did replaced them, but I honestly just ready to leave and get my money back.
It was quite disappointing, especially since Randalstown could really use...
Read moreHad seen it on tiktok, and it looked really good, however that's were the similarities ended.my wife had the bacon Benny,I had a fry,waited 20 minutes which is acceptable as there was 12 other people waiting. Coffee and tea arrived after 10 minutes, coffee was nice but was cold by the time our breakfast arrived,eggs Benny,hard eggs,cold sauce,over cooked salty bacon,half a plate of uncooked/wilted spinach leaves, looked good on arrival but was the opposite for taste. The fried breakfast, overcooked salty bacon, anaemic potato bread,eggs served on sourdough which wasn't toasted,or fried,beans and mushrooms cold,the only hot items on the plate were the two deep fried sausages. Was £25 for the two breakfasts and drinks, pricey enough, hopefully this review is taking in the right way,its not a personal attack,but if you have a strong social media presence then the expectation is pre built, and as we we were asked to pay in advance we had no opportunity to pass on our complaints and no one came to the table at the end...
