Mclaughlin's Corner - Coleraine

My friend received a voucher for a meal at this restaurant, so we decided to try the Sunday carvery. If I had to pay for it, I wouldn't go back. The young female servers seemed more interested in chatting than serving. When we went to get our main meal from the carvery, we had to wait for about 5 minutes because there was no one there to carve the meat. The staff walked past us and saw the situation but did nothing to help. We also witnessed a family next to us with a baby in a high chair. When they lifted the baby to nurse her, the staff took the chair away and gave it to another family that had just arrived, leaving the first family to figure out how to nurse their child while eating. Overall, it was not a good experience.

The beer was fantastic, the food was top-notch, especially the chili beef and ribs and steak were very good. The service was excellent. We will definitely be coming back.

I have driven past this restaurant many times in the past, but was always in a rush and didn't have the chance to stop. Finally, I had some free time to stop and check it out. The staff was friendly and our food came out quickly. The dishes we ordered were decent, but lacked a strong flavor. It was just your average restaurant meal, reasonably priced and served with a smile. I plan to return in the future and hope that it lives up to its good reputation in the local area.

Had a beautiful meal service excellent food lovely and cheap service r eat and price excellent free starter and desser

We arrived as part of a large party for christmas dinner. We chose the baked cod which was served first. We were both given the tail end of the cod, which was dry, grey, and inedible. The vegetables were boiled into mush, sprouts and carrots. Potatoes were one roast and two scoops of mash which were grey and unappetising. We returned our food to the waitress who offered no apology. We were told that the cod would be freshly cooked for us. On arrival, it was a better cut of fish, and moist. We were able to eat the fish and one roast potato each. The sauce accompanying the fish was like yellow milk which we could not use. The second plate of food arrived on cold greasy plates. No apology was proferred! Another of our party beside us had roast beef which was tough and very difficult to cut through (he did not complaint as he thought there was no point as staff were indifferent and uninterested). Coffee served was watery with no coffee taste. There was no accompnying biscuit offered. After the meal we tried several times to get a drink from the bar but there were no staff there or at reception. When ee eventually got served the beer was served in an obviously dirty glass. When pointed out to the barmaid, ther was no response and no apology. Terrible disapointment on what should have been a relaxing and happy xmas day out. We will not return.
