"Was meeting a friend for lunch here, had heard good reviews about the place. Arrived and noticed that although there was a small queue, we were the only group of 2 and noticed 2 empty tables for 2 sitting empty and ready for use. You’ve to wait at the door to be seated. The staff were back and forwards past us numerous times as we stood there for at least 5 minutes. As they went past they deliberately avoided eye contact each time, and no one greeted us, or acknowledged us. Others were coming in behind us and with no service whatsoever, 2 pairs of visitors left. We were getting fed up waiting and being deliberately ignored. Stopped a staff member and asked for a table for two. He was rude and abrupt, muttered something, handed us a menu and walked off. I called after him that there were 2 empty tables which we could use. He ignored me and walked away. At this point we decided to cut our losses and we left. Very bad customer service and rude staff who deliberately avoided eye contact as they repeatedly walked past us. A quick and simple “we’ll be with you in a moment” or “sorry, there may be a short wait”, or even just an acknowledgment that we and others were queuing would have been polite. But none of this, we may as well have not been there. First impressions last and I’ll remember the way we were treated and I’ll not be back. I’d give it a miss if I were you. Shame because the food looked nice and I’d heard good reports. But they clearly couldn’t handle lunchtime which I wouldn’t have described as busy. As I said, there were several empty tables which we could have been directed to. There’s no space for queuing so the staff, and there are plenty of them, just no one taking charge, really need to up their game to even get customers in the door to stay while they faff around and ignore new arrivals. Our lunch in the Secret Garden just up the road was first class, we were immediately made to feel welcome, and had our table and food ordered in minutes!"

£6.30 for two take away cups of tea in the branch beside the cinema. I don’t think I need to say anymore, extremely overpriced.

Called into Binkys a while back for some breakfast. I opted for the Avo Eggs. Just beautiful. Will definitely be back to check out the rest of their menu.

Went in, asked for a table for 3, was told the wait would be 20 minutes even though there was at least 6 tables of 2 available. The assistant refused to pull a chair from another table. We went up the road to No.36 cafe. A much better cafe.

My wife and I used to visit Binky's frequently, but as a person with celiac disease, my meals were not always gluten-free as they should have been. Because of this inconsistency, we no longer dine at Binky's and choose to eat at restaurants where we can trust our meals to be prepared correctly. View menu

It was my first time back here in several years. I came for lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon. The club sandwich was very tasty and a decent size. I had a coffee afterwards which was also nice. The staff were friendly but the only negative thing was that once we had finished our meal it took quite a long time for the plates to be cleared.

For cheesecake lovers, be warned that the cheesecake here is jelly-like with a soft base and lacks texture. It almost feels like eating baby food. Even after two of us tried the cheesecake, we both regretted it. One of us opted for the chocolate cake, which was mediocre at best. There was more chocolate sauce than actual cheesecake. We recommend sticking with Cafe Maud's homemade-style cheesecake instead.

We have been going here for Breakfast as a group of friends for years. I’m not sure if they have changed their chef but the food was awful. We said today we would not return. Members of staff were uninterested or disinterested and chatting rather than serving and the food was cold and bacon not cooked. Potato bread almost inedible. Not great for a place that we have enjoyed for many years. They didn’t even give the full fry either with items missing. Poached eggs terrible. Hopefully they can bring it back but we’ll be going elsewhere. View menu

Upon entering, we were informed that there would be a 25-minute wait due to a queue. The male server suggested we come back later, but we ignored him and found a table where a couple was leaving. We ordered two large breakfasts and two pots of tea. Unfortunately, the food was the worst we've had in the UK and Ireland. The breakfasts were soaked in grease and completely inedible. This was the worst dining experience we've had in Belfast, and we will not be returning to this pricey establishment. On the bright side, we found a cafe nearby called 36 Cafe that we would highly recommend. It was a 10 out of 10 experience.
