"We were down buying a car in the town and after a long drive down early in the morning we stumbled across this place beautiful exterior and equally impressive interior. My partner loved the artowrk around the walls, everywhere you turn there is something else to look at. Food fantastic, coffee too and the staff are very friendly welcoming. If we are ever up north of ireland again we will defintely be visitng boyds again."

"Herd about it and thought we would give it a try. Not the nicest location outside but lovely modern interior inside the downside is that it is very dark inside daylight doesn't seem to come in during the day and the lights are so dim with old style bulbs. You don't get any sides with burger's like chips etc everything is an extra? The beef burger was very nice and tasty the chicken burger was coated in like a cornflake batter. Soft drinks are served in cans. It's ok for a quick lunch better if sides where included like everywhere else."

"I go to this place every day when I can. The staff are the most pleasant people I have ever met. They treat me like a queen. I couldn't say a bad word about any of them. I am disabled and they go out of...their way to carry my tray to my favourite table if I can get it lol. I am also vegan and they let me keep my dairy free cheese in their fridge for my sub (not many places would do that). I have eaten the same sub for years now and never once have I not enjoyed it. Lately they got vegan pate and it's delicious along with my cheese and loads of great salad stuff. I can't believe that anyone could say anything bad about this place or the staff."

"This restaurant is in need of a thorough cleaning. There was food scattered on the floor near the kebab machine, and it appeared that different foods were mixing together. The large portion sizes were likely due to the fact that most of the food seemed to be frozen for quite some time and then microwaved. It also seemed like they were short-staffed, with only one adult supervising and the other workers appearing too young to be working in the kitchen."

"Visited the bistro this evening with my wife and 11 year old daughter. We arrived at our pre booked time of 7pm and were greeted and shown to our table at which point we were advised we had 1 1/4 hours before we were required to leave.At 7.26pm we placed our food order with our starters of nachos and chicken wings arriving at 7.45pm. Both starters were tasty with no complaints. At 8.15 our main courses arrived after having to ask a waitress. Two sirloin steaks again tasty and cooked as asked, but the kids pasta dish was not eaten as my daughter just simply didn’t like it (personal choice). Chips were overcooked and greasy.As we were eventually eating our main course a young waiter entered the restaurant from outside and upon speaking with another waiter was clearly upset about something and cursed f**k which my daughter clearly heard. At this point I asked to speak with the manger who approached and listened to my complaints as listed above. He was quick to apologise for the bad language and advised that they are currently training up staff but agreed that the language used was unacceptable and offered us our desserts free of charge. He never really offered anything by way of apology for the long wait or overcooked and greasy chips which he agreed with when he saw them.The bill for 2 starters, 2 steaks and a kids meal along with 5 drinks came to £82.96, overpriced I think for an average meal with very slow service.During our time there it was clear another family nearby we’re having similar issues.In short we were very disappointed tonight and will not be returning anytime soon."
