  “Being from america, we wanted to try something traditional. Our waitress Emma was very knowledgeable and suggested the Cod fish n chips. I wanted something like beef stew and she recommended braised beef with onions and mushrooms and a huge carrot that was so fresh and delicious. The meal was very very good , large portions and reasonable prices.”

  “First time visiting The Quays Restaurant and it definitely won’t be my last! The service was so friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was really comfortable and relaxed for a late lunch, making it the perfect place to unwind. The food was amazing, with generous portions that were great value for money. The cocktails were fantastic too! Thank you for a lovely lunch and drinks. I can’t wait to come back!”

  “This place was such a lovely highlight of our time in Portrush. The Guinness was spot on, the food was delicious, and the service was fast and friendly. The seafood chowder was hearty and absolutely perfect in every way. The fish & chips delivered the same quality and execution. The BLT toasty was pretty solid. If I had one criticism, it would be the lettuce. It was shredded iceberg and because of the heat of the sandwich, it turned into a slimy mess inside. Imho, just a big whole piece would be better served in this preparation. It may hold up to the heat better. But, that said, I still ate it all. 😆 We really enjoyed our meal and would go back again. I highly recommend it here!”

  “Great meal. Food was excellent. The staff very friendly. Definitely be back. Very good value for money and just across the road from the railway station. Recommend booking a table in advance at weekends it's very popular.”

  “Best modern pub in Portrush for my money, love the Braised Beef & Potato. Great staff, music and vibe. The ibeer garden has video poker! Paradise. 👏 Edit: poker is fair, true RNG.”

  “First time at The Quays in Portrush and we were not disappointed, the food, the service and atmosphere was outstanding. We went for a Sunday roast and omw it was beautiful, safe to say we left busted as the portions were large, but of course we had room for a gorgeous desert, definitely worth the money and visit 😋😋”

  “One star given to the fact the menu situation was confusing. Advertising on their website showed a special lunch and evening menu. However, on arrival this wasn't available due to it being half term, although there was no mention of this on their website. When we asked we were told it was on their socials which it was but only a day before half term. Surely people would have booked prior to this based on the specials menu. Our experience is disappointing for several reasons. We eat here every time we're in Portrush and always enjoy the food and atmosphere. We felt misled by the menu confusion. We always support local businesses but feel you are not supporting local people with this menu decision. We did witness another couple ask about the specials menu too so we assume others have as well. Plus your reminder on Facebook would indicate this has caused confusion to others. No mention on the attached flyer about this not being available at half term. Updated follow reply from restaurant. You must have confused us with other customers as we didn't dine at lunchtime. There was certainly no rudeness from us as we simply wouldn't do that. In fact we complimented our waitress on our food. With regards to social media, not everyone has it so when they see the menu on your website they could think it is available. Of course it's entirely up to you as a business to do what you want with your menus but we have heard local people saying they are not impressed that the specials menu has been withdrawn over half term. We wish you well in the future. Further update - they have now blocked me on Facebook - how childish. Clearly hit a raw nerve and I know for sure other customers feel the same as we did. Kiwi Brew bar, Ramore are 2 establishments doing half term deals. I now see the specials menu has been removed from your website which should avoid any further customer confusion. All it had to say on the menu is that it didn't include half term but it didn't. I rarely leave negative reviews but I stand by this one. You will see that I gave 4 stars for the food.”

  “First time in the Quays for a bite to eat, seen on Facebook they were having a £10 lunch menu so travelled down to try! We had a lovely waitress! really nicely mannered and nothing was a problem with her ! We had two meals two desserts and a cuppa tea and coffee all for a total of £20! Food was outstanding, braided beef onion and mushroom with garlic mash and Guinness gravy was delicious and so well cooked with loads of flavour! We also ordered quays fried chicken, 3 big goujons, chargrilled corn, pickled slaw fries and chicken gravy was delicious! We ordered one jam and coconut sponge which came with custard and one sticky toffee pudding with lashings of toffee sauce and ice cream was all an unreal taste!!! We will defo be back what a great deal!”

  “Popped in here on a recommendation from the Air BnB accommodation we were staying in and it was very good indeed, the place was busy so book ahead, but the food was excellent and to a very high standard. The 12 hour cooked beef was so nice. Highly recommended, so good we went back 2 nights later.”

  “We didn’t pre-book but we were early enough on a Friday night to get a table. I ordered the Pulled beef and pasta with a garlic creamy sauce which was excellent as was my wife’s Slow cooked Irish beef and mash. The Guinness was great too. I’d thoroughly recommend coming here if you’re in the Portrush area. The staff were great too.”
