Tasteful food and very decent prices. The restaurant will let you park and visit the causeway after eating! No need to buy a ticket in the other car park. I enjoyed the steak and Guinness pie, it was delightful. The sticky toffee dessert was amazing as well. read more

Food had a lot of flavor but was kinda pricey for my taste. I ordered seafood soup with a pint of Guinness and my wife ordered a sandwich. Good place to take a knee after a long hike at the Giants Causeway. read more

This place obviously has a great location, but the food is also great! There ARE a few other dining options very nearby. There's a pub, hotel restaurant, the visitor center, and a sandwhich shop so this isn't an only option. Tours stop here because the prices are reasonable, the environment is very warning (fireplace included), and the view is spectacular. read more

This is a cute place right by the Giant's Causeway. It can get busy but the staff does their best to move things along and is friendly and helpful! You order at the bar and give your table number and they deliver. My friend loved the seafood chowder--got lots of big chunks of fish. I had a wonderful steak burger and fries! read more

As most people coming to this pub, i had just hiked the causeway. I needed to rest after almost fainting two (2) times and throwing up three (3) times. When I entered, I needed to take a big-o-dump, if you know what I'm hinting at. Anyways. I was abruptly haulted by a sign in bold red letters; "TOILETS STRICTLY FOR PAYING CUSTOMERS". I mean wow. So are you really telling me that if i needed to take a big-o-dump (which in this case, i did) if i didn't have money for a diet coke, I couldn't? I walked up to the bar table to have a soft drink, because, you know, I'm a sober sister. I'm not ur typical smirnof hoe. To begin, there was one lady (fairly pretty, id give her a solid los angeles 8 but a northern Ireland 10) taking a man's order. it took an absurd amount of time considering that he was not in a group. There were 6 people waiting while they were taking their time. When she finally finished, she looked very confused as she asked "Who is next?" When she got to my order, I asked for a Sanpelligrino. Because. You know. Gotta lose 20 pounds before summer ends. You know how it be sometimes. I drank it all and paid. I was looking at my phone to see if i could find hemorrhoids creme resellers near the area (news flash, i couldn't!!!) I asked the lady if i could have the wifi code, because they had a distinct wifi server called "TheNook". this lady HAD THE NERVE to say "Wifi is for staff only". Like who hurt you? Do you not realize that WiFi is a GOOD thing to provide to customers. They are more likely to stay/order more. Idk man, s**t be crazy in northern Ireland. Something about it being owned by the UK? Idk my man. Anyways, i took my bruised butt (keyword- hemorrhoids!!!!!!) up from the bar and then decided, "hey! I'm hungry again. let's eat some phat scampi". And so i did. I sat myself down (which hurt really bad, if you were curious) I ordered, and got my food SURPRISINGLY FAST (served by a los angeles 4. nobody's perfect.) While i was eating, it started smelling LIKE DOWNRIGHT S**T! LIKE COW. it wasn't me this time (although i did fart in this establishment 5 1/2 times in the bathroom. Whoever smelt dealt it doesn't work in this situation. I think they were holding a cow with diabetes hostage behind the bar. The food was okay. I pooped in my pants a lil, but that's not unusual for me. When i gave up on my diet I ordered a chocolate cake and it was so nostalgic!!! Like from my 7 y/o half sisters birthday party! Yum? I think no. So I left! I will never return! It was not a good experience! The bathroom sucked (which is always top priority) . The lock didn't work! Do you know what horror is in peoples eyes when they open the stall when I'm on the pot? Not okay. Never again read more

This charming building used to be a school and is now a great stop for a meal. I had the steak and Guinness pie and it was delicious, a very generous portion and full of meat. I ordered at the bar and the food came out quickly. The staff was great. I would definitely return! read more

This is a don't miss stop for lunch! I had the seafood chowder and it was WONDERFUL! Friends had the Irish stew and the tomato soup and ham sandwich. Both said their food was very good! My husband had the fish and chips and said it was the best he'd had in Ireland (this was his 3rd fish & chips for the trip). Was so happy with the food I forgot to take a picture. Service was good. Also, husband LOVES the Guinness Hop House 13! Try it if you like lagers. read more

I visit this spot when i went to The Giant Causeway. Its really busy and crowded due to the tour buses and many visitors. However, if you can wait a minute this little pub is really realy good. The chips are big and tasty. Very nice. I recommend this place. read more

I did a tour of the Giant's Causeway and ended up in this nice little place. The people are super nice here and it's a nice homie place. We got the steak and Guinness pie and the Fish pie. Both were awesome. If you end up at the Giant's Causeway, don't eat at the visitor's center, take a 30 second walk down the road and eat this awesome place. P.S. I am from the U.S and I love their server's Irish Accents!!! read more

Bad food badly cooked and so overpriced its disgraceful. The owners of this excuse of a restaurant should be mortified to be associated with it. Ask how much their charging you before you order, as they will double the price of the menu when paying your bill. Better still, just stay away. Great place to ruin a good day out. If you really dislike someone, recommend it to them. read more

Cute and charming, a very nice place to grab a bite after a long walk uphill! We split the seafood chowder and a sandwich, and enjoyed it very much. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant was pretty busy but that's to be expected. read more

This place is one of only two restaurants by the Giants Causeway but well worth it!! We had the seafood chowder and the fish and chips. The chowder was delicious and so filling! There were mussels, clams, shrimp, and fish in the chowder. The fish and chips were about standard, nothing to rave about. If you're visiting the causeway, the Nook is a great bite to eat and the service is great! read more

Just what you'd want from a roadside restaurant. Was there on a national holiday so it wasn't busy. The staff was amazing and helpful. Food was exceptional -- loved the seafood chowder with a side of garlic chips. If it had been a tad warmer could have enjoyed the views while eating on their outside patio. read more

This was some of the best food I had in Ireland. I thought it would be overpriced and look quality since it was the only option in a tourist destination, but it was delicious and very affordable. It was cheaper than the same dish in Dublin and much better. I had the Guinness and beef pie (with a pink of Guinness of course) and it was delicious. read more

Food overpriced for what it is and the young lad the served us was extremely rude. I'd eat elsewhere if possible.

The venue is stunning given the backdrops off the causeway coast, however staff could be friendly service a bit more timely and the food improved. It was reasonable expensive given the quality of the food but truly lovely setting and decor so giving this a 3star as a result. read more

I ordered a scone and chicken fingers and it was so good the scone went so well with the jam and it all just went together perfectly and the chicken fingers were not too big and there weren't too many . read more

As this is only one of two places to eat when visiting the Giants Causeway it was packed and after my visit I imagine the only reason that so many people eat here is because tourists have such a limited choice. I ordered a steak burger well done and my friend a goats cheese sandwich with red onion and a bowl of soup costing almost £20 including a charge for tap water. On looking at my receipt this worked out at almost €35 they state themselves their exchange is quite high why I have no idea? When the food arrived there was no red onion in my friends sandwich filled only with goats cheese. I got a greasy under cooked burger with one slice of tomato on a white bun, it looked similar to the burger you would get at Burger King except worse served with about ten fries (I kid you not). My friend asked where her onion was to be told sorry no onion. I then asked about my burger to be told sorry nothing we can do. I have been in other establishments where staff firstly inform you that they do not have what you ordered and would you like something else and secondly if you do not receive what you ordered (a well done burger) they offer to rectify it for you with an apology. Unhappy with the look and taste I asked to speak to the manager to be informed only a supervisor was available. I explained that I was unhappy with what I had being served to be told nothing we can do, do you want a cup of tea instead. After informing her that I wanted something to eat I was told I would have to pay for it. There was no offer of a replacement or a refund, a cup of tea or nothing, sure they had my money what did it matter to them if I was an unhappy customer (you pay for your meal before it is served,genius no comeback for their customers). I asked her to take the meal away. I then asked her for the telephone number of the establishment and name of person in charge. After five minutes of getting me the details she then offered to ring the manager/owner on my behalf. The following shocked and appalled me and it was based on this that I decided to write this review. I was handed the phone and upon asking to whom I was speaking to I was informed in no uncertain terms "you do not need to know who I am, who are you", after asking again to whom am I speaking to I was told "I already told you, you do not need to know who I am now what do you want, you are a chancer, you are getting nothing, get out of my establishment", the abuse continued on the phone. He was unprepared to listen to what I had to say. Finally when asked if this is how he treats his customer he continued to shout at me to get out of his establishment, my custom was not wanted, again I was a chancer. I asked if he did not care that I would write a complaint about how I was being treated he responded "Do what you like, I will even tell you who you can write to, now get out and put H back on the phone" My tour guide was standing nearby and I put the phone to his ear so that he could hear how his customers where being treated in this establishment. He was appalled and shocked that the owner would speak to anyone never mind a customer in this manner. As I stated this is only one of two establishments in this area so maybe as tourists are not repeat customers the owner/manager presumes he can treat his customers in this way. In a town or village he would have gone out of business a long time ago. The food is over priced for what it is and in my opinion of poor quality. Eat at this place at your peril, if you do, do not have any expectations. I would instead recommend you eat at at the nearby hotel, or wait to grab a sandwich at the Weigh Bridge Tea Room, the staff are lovely, warm friendly and they also offer a nice selection of delicious cakes. Otherwise bring your own packed lunch at least you will be guaranteed rave reviews about your food. read more

Quaint little eatery, really nice food.The interior is warm and homely in the winter with the open fire lit in the big room and the wood burning stove in the smaller room. The staff are all local and are very friendly and accommodating. There are seats outside where you can sit and have a nice cold drink with beautiful views over the coast. read more
