About The Scenic Inn

The Scenic Inn is a halal restaurant on Fivey Rd in Ballymoney, with a dining hall at the front and a pub area further back. Tables are also available in the bar, so the layout gives diners a choice of where to sit. The menu includes fish and chips, made with battered cod and served with garlic chips. A private dining room is available for groups, and a small playground gives children somewhere to play during the visit. A wait is common at dinner hours. The restaurant has a large car park at 38 Fivey Rd.

Customer Review Summary

Fish is the draw most reviewers raise: the fresh battered cod with garlic chips and the fish and chips, described by one diner as among the tastiest they have had. Close behind, a ribeye steak with champs earns praise, and the kids menu gets its own mentions, with chicken curry and bangers and mash called fantastic, very affordable and generous in portion. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and accommodating, and several mention a cosy atmosphere, with the pub area likened by one reviewer to a pub from books and movies. A group of five found a table in the bar straight away, and another party without a booking was seated too. The one complaint comes from a single reviewer, who found the wait during dinner hours quite long, while others call the service fast. One family's account closes on a small touch: the children were handed colouring pages with games and a good set of crayons.
