The Pizza Parlour

Great pizza and sides. They now have the option where children can construct their own two topping pizza at the table which they then take away and cook. Excellent.

Main Street Pizzeria ,Kells

The man on the till who served me and my friends was super friendly and very helpful with giving positive opinions of all the food options. The chicken kickers were absolutely amazing, I'm not one for spice but it was absolutely lovely, not too spicy, not too plain. Would 100% recommend and will be back in the future??

Johnny Joe's Mccollum's Bar

Was here over the weekend, Anne and staff are excellent, received a warm and friendly welcome by all. Great atmosphere, would definitely recommend, overall top notch.

Roosters

If you like Fried Chicken then do not rule out this fast food outlet to get your fix.It would be my first choice over Kentucky any day when in Ballymena. It is very tasty with well priced, sizeable portions that trump KFC all day long.

ballymena kebab and pizza house

not sure what folk's problem with it is! i've eaten here for several years now and always found it very satisfactory & good portions!! Beware that there's no card reader, you may have to venture into town to get one or chance your luck with the one across the road, which works sometimes.

Bob & Berts Ballymena

I have never left feedback for any food establishment before, but my wife and I decided we should because the staff were just so lovely. Really pleasant, chatty, and really good with our kids.

Go Sun Chinese Restaurant

First visit and definitely not the last. Sweet and sour lightly battered prawns, melt in the mouth duck, tasty noodles and a few chips for good measure ?
Friendly and very helpful staff. We can definitely recommend going to Go Sun!

Vegetarian options: Apart from the labelled items there are other veggie options in the 'sides' choices.

Parking: We parked adjacent to the restaurant in a public, paid for car park. It's not far but a couple of busy roads to cross.

McAllister's Whiskey Lounge

Large group of us went here to celebrate a birthday. Could not fault one single thing. Staff were brilliant and the menu/food also really good. There was a gentleman playing live music, not too loud and added to the great atmosphere. Would definitely come back.

Tesco Cafe

Very nice cafe ,meals very good and have nice range.Parking: Lots of parking spaces.Wheelchair accessibility: yes there is a good life tp the cafe use it every time we visit

Big Bear Pizza Shack

Tried it on Saturday night I'm impressed got the mixed Kebab on Naan with Kebab sauce very tasty my partner got the spice bag she loved it we will be back again very soon

Parking: Not sure but there's plenty

Wheelchair accessibility: There is A ramp right up into the shop

The Doury Frier

I ordered for delivery. The staff member on the phone was really friendly. I ordered a sausage supper, 8 chicken nuggets and a bottle of coke zero. The total came to around £11. Not bad in my eyes. The food tasted amazing.The only downside I had was the delivery time. It was around 50 mins. Overall I would definitely recomed The Doury Frier.

Mirador Chinese Takeaway

For food only reason. Giveing 3 stars is because it's a hit an miss sometimes iv had my food delivered freezing or missing drinks so stopped ordering drinks with them....... Definitely think it's down to who's working and who's delivering use to be one my favourites but definitely not anymore I dnt care about price as I love a nice Chinese but u might aswell throw ur money into the bin because 9 times out of 10 that's were the food goes and when u ring they say we will put a note and make sure ur drinks are sent neber received them lol so na it's a no from me il stick to my new Chinese golden city best about so far

The Khayber | Indian Restaurant

We have visited here regularly for the past nearly 10 years and absolutely love it. We live in Bushmills and would take the drive to here as nothing else compares. We stumbled across it from visiting the galgorm regular.We would often stay at the galgorm but come here for an Indian !The very best Indian around ! Highly recommended

Asian Taste

We've had the Kung Po Beef twice, The Chicken Chow Mein and the Chicken with Cashew Nuts in sweet chilli sauce. The meat and chicken, are tender and succulent and all have a lovely flavour which the spices enhance, not disguise. Only downside is that delivery is not the quickest so would suggest that you order early, however, the food IS worth the wait.

Sunny's

Ordered the mixed kebab a while ago for my partner and there was a big enough chicken bone in it, lucky enough our daughter didn't take any as it could have been alot worse, but got in touch with the shop and explained it to them so I was to get a voucher for online and still waiting for

Sanjha Indian Restaurant

Ordered online for the first time. Service, quality of the food was brilliant. The only thing that stops me from giving them 5 stars is that they forgot the rice from my order

KFC Ballymena - Larne Road Link

The food was hot and fresh and the staff super helpful. One of our burgers wasn't right and they changed it quickly and without hesitation. The two fellas who were on couldn't have been more helpful. As KFCs go this is one of the better ones. As the photo shows the grub went down a treat!!

Cafe Cova

Great place for Brunch/Breakfast that we always visit in Cushendall, which we do annually. Friendly staff, good value, and great food, worth a visit.

Parking: Parking fine outside

Moat Bar

Absolutely brilliant place for a day out, professional friendly staff, all visitors were made to feel at home, as a Scottish visitor for the first time I'll definitely be going back

Harbour Lights Cafe

Eventually got to stop for a bite of lunch… food was delicious, and great portion size, lovely friendly staff and well presented inside. Would highly recommend. Will definitely be back.

The Greenlough Bar

Lovely staff who gave us many recommendations to visit on our week here, we did most of them and enjoyed them all. Cheap drinks and dog friendly. The pub dog is gorgeous and loved the attention we gave him!

Maureens Chippy

The fast food restaurant is functionally furnished. The staff is friendly and attentive. The tables are quickly cleared and wiped down properly.
The quality of the food is good.

The Diamond Bar

Booked for a family of 5 to eat in the Restaurant. Quick response and booking very easy. We arrived 5 minutes before our booking and were immediately seated and drinks order taken. \n\nMenu had loads of options and with 3 courses for £25 it was clear to see why the place was so busy. Our food order was taken and starters arrived soon after, the Brie and Cheesy Bacon Garlic Bread were amongst the orders and were fantastic.\n\nFor main course, we had a mixture of the roast beef, peppered chicken & chicken goujons. Portion sizes were excellent, but the quality was even better. The staff checked in regularly to ensure any additional requests were handled and for another drinks order. \n\nThe dessert menu arrived upon the clearing of plates and we just couldn’t resist when seeing the options available. Again, the portion sizes were amazing and everyone left feeling fully satisfied. \n\nWe cannot recommend The Diamond Bar/Restaurant highly enough. Everything was fantastic from start to finish, and we can’t wait to return!

Papa's Kitchen

Love me some Papa’s!!! A trip to the Mena just ain’t complete without some Papa’s. Must try at least once for some takeout. Don’t skip the sauce. There’s nothing like that sauce in the whole world!

Corner Bakery

Had a very lovely lunch here today and was really impressed.2 sourdough toasted Sandwiches, Chicken curry pie and a tray bake.Very fast service and really tasty food.Lovely decor and just really impressed by my experience today.

Cape Cod Ballymena

Not a food review......
Thanks to the friendly staff who let me take shelter from a downpour while I changed into waterproof running gear on my long run.

Merchant Fish & Chip Shop Ballymena

I've had food from here a few times but today was the best. I sat in and got food from the lunchtime menu (12-2pm) and had a plate of chips, chicken goujons, a fairly large pot of curry sauce and a bottle of water for £7.50. The chips were very nice, the battered goujons were perfect (very nice chicken and the batter was very light and crispy) and the curry sauce was the perfect compliment. Portion size was decent and the staff were nice too. Overall very positive
