"Went to this venue with a few friends having seen it was rated #1 in the local area. Food I got a tomahawk steak with all the usual extras. It was decent. Best steak I’ve had, no, but was cooked well. Sauce didn’t blow me away. Main itself was good but not mind blowing. Got sticky toffee for dessert and again, it was good, but not overwhelming. Service we had to prompt the staff to ask for dessert which wasn’t ideal. Atmosphere they had a live singer. He was decent but didn’t really add any real value to the experience. Overall A decent enough venue with above average food. Is it worthy of the best restaurant in the town. Probably not. Would recommend for casual dining but for a special occasion I’d venture elsewhere"

"Pretty darn rotten poor takeaway think more throw away. We got about 10 meals from here I paid but someone else took my credit card for the purpose. I didn’t bother going in for the food or looking at the receipt when I got my card back, so I’ve no idea of the cost but it wasn’t worth it. I got to taste a few main dishes: curry and black bean had lousy flavour, they were watery with the latter particularly awful as the onions were essentially boiled and likewise the chicken which looked stringy from being boiled. Good black bean sauce is a deep tasting rich coating to the meat not near a half pint of tasteless runny liquid more akin to dishwater. 2 star for the curry zero for black bean. The sweet and sour was the other end of the scale it was jam like, sticky, due to a copious amount of boiled sugar and sunset yellow food colour that’s nasty stuff. I could have held the sauce upside down in the container and it wouldn’t have run out. Two stars out of 5. My wife declared her salted chilli chicken as rotten, so no stars. The smoked chicken was alright and just barely 3 star. The fried rice was good likewise the soft noodles 3 star for both. The free prawn crackers are cheap, nasty rubbish so no stars. Tip to owner go buy quality crackers and get a few takeaways from Red Panda Belfast to show what good takeaway Chinese food is."

"We called for dinner on Sunday 9/7/23 for at 7pm and had pre booked for our party of four. Having dined here a number of years ago I had recommended the restaurant to our group and unfortunately lived to regret it. This was not simply an underwhelming experience it was a poor one. The restaurant was untidy, dirty and smelt like a greasy spoon. . We were seated in a large room adjacent to a large sun room. There was absolutely nothing appealing about the room and we were tortured with flies and bluebottles and when we drew this to the attention of the staff their suggestion was that they would close the conservatory windows. The food was very poor. Two of our party had a turkey and ham stack as there were insufficient ingredients remaining for a roast dinner. This was edible.. just One person had fish which was coated in a heavy thick batter and the other person had a chicken dish. Not one of the plates s had any salad or veg garnish. The bill when it arrived did not match the transport cafe experience."

"I have passed by the Ramble Inn many many times down the years and had never stopped in for food until late yesterday afternoon. We were a party of four and all ordered different meals from the menu. All of us enjoyed our choices immensely, the portions were massive and the food absolutely delicious. Service was just about spot on, attentive without being an interruption. The price was very reasonable, but when you consider the quantity and quality of the food it was very good value indeed. I'm glad we called in yesterday. All those years of just passing by are my loss."
