  “We cannot recommend Flax Steakhouse and Flax Coffee highly enough. They played such a special part in our wedding celebrations, both the night before and the morning after, and helped make the entire experience unforgettable. From the moment we booked, the communication was fantastic. The team were friendly, accommodating, and genuinely excited to celebrate alongside us. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The evening before our wedding, my partner and I had barely eaten all day because we were so nervous. We had dinner booked at Flax Steakhouse and, despite our nerves, had absolutely no trouble finishing every bite. The food was incredible. The steak was genuinely one of the best we've had in a very long time, cooked perfectly and packed with flavour. The menu also offers much more than just steak, which was ideal for members of our bridal party with different tastes. Throughout the evening, drinks were kept topped up and the service was attentive without ever feeling intrusive. The morning after the wedding, we gathered with our family and friends at Flax Coffee for breakfast and a chance to relive the celebrations. The team kindly provided us with a private room, which made it feel even more special. It was the perfect setting to enjoy breakfast together, share stories from the day before, and have a proper wedding debrief with the people we love most. What really stands out about both venues is the people. Every member of staff we encountered was warm, welcoming, and committed to ensuring we had the best possible experience. If you're staying at Raceview Mill, getting married at The Wool Tower, or simply looking for fantastic food and exceptional service, Flax Steakhouse and Flax Coffee are absolute must-visits. Thank you for helping make our wedding celebrations so memorable.”

  “Well I heard alot of good reports about FLAX Steakhouse in Broughshane, so I had to give it a try. We booked a table for Sunday 6.30 for five people. The atmosphere was a little noisy, but you could easily have a conversation without raised voices. The place was buzzing, so if you want to watch here... book early. The food arrived quite fast after ordering. It was hot and presented well. I had the porthouse steak cooked Medium. I can honestly say it rates in My top 5 steaks I've had in the world and Number 1 in Northern Ireland. This steak i had in fLAX beat a UK Michelin Star Restaurant's steak. I'd honestly recommend a visit. All plates were presented well and no complaints.”

  “Went here Sat evening 31/1/26. 1st time here and had been highly recommended by several friends. I had Barbecue ribs as starter- Meat fell off the bone and good and tender but flavour was below average (4/10)I had a Guinness with my meal and not a good head but not the worst ive had and was relatively creamy(5/10). Now for mains my wife had 8 oz sirlion with garlic potatoes and pepper sauce. Was absolutely lovely *her words*(9/10) . I had the Rib eye with garlic fries and pepper sauce and if I had been reviewing it after the first bite I would have give it 9/10. It all went downhill after the 1 st bite. The flavour was absolutely perfect but the ribeye was the worst ive ever tried to eat. I expect a bit of marble/fat but not a stringy hard gristle with nearly every bite that was impossible to eat(2/10). I know I should have said to the waitress when lifting our plate but if they seen what was left then they would clearly know someting wasnt right. Hopefully this was a one off bad cut of ribeye as it can happen so I will try again in a few weeks.”

  “Brilliant restaurant. Lovely outdoor area for outdoor dining or to stop in for a few drinks - dog friendly which is great to have in Raceview Mill. The food is always excellent, however it’s the staff that really make the place. Polite, attentive and remember your drinks order - very personal touch.”

  “Absolutely stellar experience! The bread starter was generous, and the olive & garlic spread was so good they packed some for me to take home. The roasted cod fillet was perfection—melt-in-your-mouth texture with coral sauce, lobster croquette & dill gnocchi. Veggies had the perfect crunch, and the presentation was beautiful. I was too full for dessert, so that’s my excuse to return! The atmosphere was great, though the sound in the main dining area could be softened. Still, I’d come back in a heartbeat!”

  “Having read so many great reviews on this place I was really looking forward to a great meal. The service was good, the atmosphere was good, the steak tasted great but… almost impossible to cut let alone eat. My wife and I both had rib eye steak which was beautifully presented but when we went to cut into it we found it very difficult. I think we both hoped the knives were blunt but no such luck. The meat had great flavour and in places was tender but most of it was much too tough. Regrettably I don’t think we will be back, which is a pity as it has the makings of a great restaurant.”
