Went last friday night with my wife. It has been about 6/7 years since our last visit, we used to visit it quite regulary especially for their christmas dinner which was always excellent. Only really stopped because of the drive from home, either it was foggy, or ice or snow etc and the roads could be quite bad, also parking wasn't (isn't) great. If the restaurant is busy then the smallish car park fills up quickly.Rang Friday afternoon to see if we could get a table for that evening at eight. One of the owners took the call (the lady) tried to get us to change to 7:30 - settled on 7:45. Now when we arrived there was really no need to try and get us to change or time, it was busy but not packed in fact we were the last to arrive for dinner (7:45 on a Friday night). Obivioulsy wanting us to arrive at 7:30 was for the convienence of Lynden Heights. Arrived and no welcome just as well we had been their before so we made our own way into the small bar area and found ourselves a seat. The lady owner was infact sitting at a table talking to other I assume regular guests when she was finished she got up and disappeared without a word to us.The husband then appeared - again didn't ask for our booking but produced menus and asked if we wanted a drink from the bar. Not a big selection of bottled beer (mine in fact was quite warm) but a decent selection of wine. The bar/waiting area hasn't changed since we first starting going over 20 years ago - still the same carpet, painted walls, bar etc, in fact the toliets haven't changed either in years still the same wall paper etc.Shown into the dinning room/conservatory this again hasn't changed since it was built, same carpet, curtains, pink table cloths, plastic flowers on the tables.However the food choice and value and quality are excellent. We opted for the 3 course set menu for £16 which included tea or coffee. All courses were excellent, fresh and well cooked.This could be a really excellent spot if only they spent a little money updated the decor etc and also spent a little bit of money on traing their staff and the owners on customer service.Would I reutrn - maybe in another 6-7 years because you just don't go out for the food but the overall experience you are looking for a wow factor which overall you just don't get. Does food very well for the more mature dinner who is looking for the traditional with a twist.

We had dinner and breakfast here. Dinner was in a busy, fully booked dining room with a sea view; breakfast was served in a lonely, dark back room whereas sea view tables were empty - we were the only overnight guests.

Mattieâs Meeting House is a local hang out just a short stroll up the road from Ballycairn House. We were lucky to get a reservation, as it was almost fully booked. We spent an unforgettable evening at the warm, traditional country pub. My husband and I quenched our thirst after a long day of adventuring with pints of Guinness and Magners, enjoyed Mattieâs mouthwatering Guinness Pie, and sang along with the talented local musicians who played the guitar, banjo, fiddle, recorder, and piccolo and accepted requests all evening. They were extremely friendly to our children who stayed up far after their bedtime enjoying the live music. It was so amazing that we returned the following night, and by that time we were old friends!

We stopped in this small village during a tour and our guide recommended Harry's. We both had the fish and chips - platter came with mushy peas and a small salad. It was a delicious meal with nice flaky fish. Service was great and food came out quite quickly considering the big number of people from the bus who all walked in at the same timeHi FTLCruisers,Many thanks for your most complimentary review. We are delighted that you obviously enjoyed the Harrys Cushendall dining experience. Thank you for sharing with others.#harryscushendall
5. Toast

Probably the best breakfast around. Freshly cooked to order and great selection of breakfast items. Great coffee too with free top-ups and even their decaff tastes good. Great selection of cakes and pastries too. And very good value for money.

Quite a queue to get in, waited and ordered good from the counter, all looked lovely. We are all vegetarian and 2 of us ordered vegetarian frittata. Shortly after the waitress brought the food over and we ate...only for the frittata eaters to discover half way through that it had ham in it! (Small pieces so not immediately obvious). Called the waitress back, who said, " Well it's supposed to be vegetarian, I'll go and see what's happening." No one came back, so my husband went up to the counter and someone checked with the chef, who said it was meat... Got the money back and an offer of different food, but it's really not a nice thing to happen, especially for my daughter, who has vegetarian all her life. And not even any follow up from the staff until we chased it. I rarely give a bad review but I think this one is deserved.

This little cafe could make a lot more of itself. The location is perfect, right in the centre of the village, with few other similar places to eat. The menu was very limited, with few vegetarian options, It was lunchtime, but not full, when we arrived, service seemed very slow and the staff, disinterested. I left feeling disappointed, it has great potential but needs to move forwards.

I've been going to this bar & Restaurant ( The Loft) regularly for at least the last 10 years, many times each year when visiting our local caravan. Great craic and very reasonable prices, it's great to have this facility and never disappoints. Try a 'Paddy's Diamond' cocktail if you want something different .

Called into Londonderry Arms yesterday 12th Feb and enjoyed the special breakfast menu which runs up to 12 o'clock. 5 piece fry for £3.95 including tea/coffee. Basket of toast can be ordered for £1.00. Best value breakfast in lovely surroundings and with an open fire to add to the pleasure. Recommend a visit if passing along the Coast Rd at Carnlough.
