"Went for the BLT and have to say the quality was unreal and not at the expense of a good portion size. Chocolate milkshake was lovely too and my girlfriend really enjoyed the Caesar wrap."

"Stopped in to this fantastic little spot in my search for the greatest breakfast in Northern Ireland. Busy little place on a Sunday morning. Seating for maybe a dozen people. I had their fry with a hash brown. Everything was good. Stop in if you're passing by, or even go out of your way to get here. It's worth the stop."
