Two people working the front, one was the food runner, one worked the bar, who also took orders, cashed you out, poured your drink, etc. Make sure to grab a table before you get in line to order, as you'll need your table number. It took a while to order, as there was a long line. We got the following: - soup and sandwich combo - Traditional Iris Stew - Steak & Guinness Pie It took about 15 minutes to get our food, but only two of the three came out and the lamb stew I ordered was given to my family member, the food runner didn't say anything, just dropped it off and left. While waiting, other tables were getting their food, but we still haven't received our 3rd dish, so after 15 minutes of waiting went up to the bar to inquire, but the lady working there was gone. After waiting few minutes, she was now delivering the foods... wait few minutes, then went back to the table and our 3rd dish was there. The interior looked like it hadn't changed in years and the tables don't get cleaned often due to limited staff. I guess you can be thankful for being able to get some food and use the restroom. The food was decent, but things could be a lot more efficient, if they have one person taking orders, one person working the bar, few working to deliver the food and people cleaning up the tables. That would require a lot more staff than the numbers they had when we visited.

We came in, very hungry, after a tour at the distillery, and very cold due to the arctic gale force winds that let smacking us! Once inside, we considered just moving in! The place is literally at the entrance to the Giants Causeway visitors center parking lot. It's a cute, rustic (like every other building in the area) building with equally quaint interior that trends towards a pub with a subtle nautical theme. Darker woods, lighter walls, a nice bar and several rooms that lead into each other, but seem very separate. The vibe is perfect! They've got plenty of Irish pub fare, most of which is hot - a key piece of info as most fingers were fighting for feeling at this point. We ordered Steak and Guinness pie, fish pie, fish and chips, a couple scones and Irish Stew. Ravenously hungry, we tackled this beastly lunch and all left full and warm. The scones were closer to biscuits, but were probably the best we've had in the country - and my better half loves her some scones! The food came out quick - the place was crazy busy and it still took less than 10 minutes. By the time we were done, we wondered if we could just stow away in the basement and live off the scones and cream! Parking was best done in the visitors center parking lot so make sure you're coming out here where you've already paid for the trip out to the coastline. The was exactly what we hoped it would be and exactly what we were looking for on this typical Irish spring day!

It was a drizzly March afternoon when we arrived, and the place was quiet as there was an hour to go until closing. The cafe itself was cute, with mismatched chairs and tables - so familiar in quirky 'offbeat' metropolitan cafes, but offered something a little different in this small town. We had open sandwiches and coffees, the bread was superb, everything was freshly prepared and it tasted like it. The proprietors, a young couple, were pleasant without being overenthusiastic, a trait that rings false in some Dublin cafes. We were left to eat our food in peace. As we paid they kindly gave us a couple of complimentary pastries to take with us - which were most appreciated when we reached our final destination. Shortly thereafter we encountered Ursa Minor bread in Babushka in Portrush! Great to see that a young local business is thriving all over Northern Ireland!

The absolute best part of the meal was the bakery items. Their salted caramel cake was to die for. It was three layered and super fresh. The pumpkin roll was also absolute perfection.

It must be awesome for business if you are the owner of this place…read more The reason I say this is because today I am on a tour with "The Paddywagon." There must be a contract where they shut the place down for certain time periods. This allows tour buses to come for lunch and have their tourists get a quick bite. As you get off your bus, boom. Food is warm and ready for you to order. I ordered the Seafood Chowder and was very impressed with it. For some reason I thought it was going to be one of those things where I got a bunch of different seafood in it along with clams. But all I really saw was Salmon chunks. That being said, the soup itself was delish. It oddly enough didn't taste super fishy either which I know can be hit or miss for people. But I really just enjoyed that creamy broth. Ugh...I feel like any broth that is tasty and creamy just owns my soul. OH! Big protip. Get the Guinness bread. Its the big fluffy brown bread. It has a lot of flavor and was recommended to us by our tour guide. Definitely worth it, just like this cafe.
