"This place is a hidden gem that's not quite so hidden... My wife introduced me to this place when we moved to Ards & it's well worth a visit. I recommend the House Chicken Burger (chicken burger with a battered sausage), it's so good!"

"Nice place and the food is good enough but I think it used to be better. Plus the portions seem a bit small compared to others"

"Me and the family absolutely love the food and have been going there for many years. Very tasty and affordable for the quality. Only issues I do have however, are about how the food can be welded to the paper, like really welded on there everytime, I'll be sometimes eating bits of the paper from the chips or sausages. Maybe it's just a thing I personally don't like, but just want to let it be known. *Finally* last time we were in we ordered a few burgers on the 12th July 2023, nothing complicated, but the girls that were doing the cheeseburgers forgot the cheese and other toppings. This happens rarely to us and hopefully it was just a one time mistake. But overall highly recommend this place to everyone. It's well cooked, tasty, affordable food. Not much to complain about."

"Lovely chip shop in ARDS. Found by pure chance and always go to when in ARDS. Chips are lovely with salt and vinegar. I normally get a small chip but it's decent for a small !"
