About Sallys of Omagh
Sallys of Omagh is an Irish pub on John St, with a front bar set apart from a newer outside area and restaurant. Live music plays in the front bar on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, alongside multiple screens for sports. The kitchen runs cod tacos, a goats cheese starter, fried Brie, chilli chicken, turkey and ham, and lamb shank, with breakfast and a Sunday lunch of the day also served. Lunchtime options are narrower for those wanting something beyond burgers and chips. Even when the restaurant is fully booked, walk-ins are still seated, and larger parties of up to nine can be accommodated. The front bar keeps its older-style decor, distinct from the newer space attached to it.

Customer Review Summary
Cod tacos draw repeated praise, with diners also singling out the goats cheese starter, fried Brie, chilli chicken, turkey and ham, and lamb shank as standouts, alongside breakfasts and lunch specials described as tasty and well presented. The front bar and back restaurant decor come up often, along with a warm, buzzing atmosphere. Staff are called helpful and friendly by most, arranging transport for one large group and accommodating walk ins and last minute bookings. A recurring counterpoint is inconsistent front of house: a couple of reviewers describe a server who didn't mention specials or hand out menus promptly, and one recounts a particularly unfriendly server who scraped leftover food onto a single plate while clearing the table. One diner also reports being served a cold, inedible tuna wrap and poor coffee that had to be sent back. Despite this, most describe returning more than once, including one who came back for dinner after an earlier breakfast visit on the same trip.

“We stopped by on our travels on a Sunday morning and we got a lovely breakfast. The staff were very friendly and the interior decor is so beautiful. Even the toilets were pretty! We liked it so much that we retired on our way home from our travels on the following Wednesday afternoon and had lovely dinner. I'd happily return and recommend it”

“Giving one star as staff were pleasant. Otherwise both the food and the coffee here were terrible. I had to give mine back as it was inedible. Toasted wrap was cold on the inside and ingredients were not used in equal measure.What was supposed to be a tuna melt ended up being a cold wrap with a load of tuna water falling out the end of the wrap and barely any other ingredients. Very limited lunchtime menu if you don’t want burgers/chips etc.”

“Both the food and staff here are phenomenal! Visited twice on a recent trip to Omagh and although they were fully booked on the second evening they accommodated our large family group of 9. The staff couldn't have helped enough and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. They even arranged our transport back to the hotel. Thank you Sallys! Highly recommended!!”

“A Must-Visit in Omagh: Exceptional Food at Sally’s If you’re looking for a vibrant atmosphere and top-tier gastropub fare in Omagh, Sally’s is the place to be. We visited recently and were immediately struck by the delightful decor—it’s stylish, welcoming, and clearly a hit with locals, as the place was buzzing with a fantastic energy. The food was nothing short of brilliant. We kicked things off by sharing the goats cheese starter, which was perfectly balanced and a great indicator of the quality to come. For the mains, I opted for the cod tacos. The fish was beautifully cooked, fresh, and served with vibrant toppings that made every bite a treat. My dad went for the burger, which was juicy, substantial, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the service. Despite how popular and busy the restaurant was, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Co. Tyrone, Sally’s is a standout choice for a memorable meal. I can’t recommend it enough!”
