"Visited here twice within a few weeks. First time food was OK standard, but service was extremely slow like ridiculously slow! We overheard others complaining about same thing and suggesting they might leave because no sign of their food, so obviously not just us. We did order two separate burger meals for the kids, but were presented with (what we were told was an adult burger cut in half. Not really what we expect given kids meals are £5.95 each. We tried again to give benefit of doubt. This time service was much better, but food very poor. One of us ordered chilli chicken penne pasta, with garlic bread. Dish was served in good time, but had no chicken (yes just pasta and sauce! . Garlic bread was slightly burnt and appeared to have no garlic taste at all. By time we were asked if everything was ok, it was too late. It was suggested that chicken could be added at that point but honestly, that is just not sensible at all, pasta was going cold and we had eaten at least half whilst digging around looking for some chicken! Like what decent place would ever suggest to do that here's a side of chicken to go with already eaten pasta! We expected an apology/compensation, considering most important part of meal was missing we got a miserly £3 reduction from the bill. A gesture so tiny they needn’t have bothered, and just showed how uninterested they were on the issue. Pasta and sauce themselves were not great in any case, lumpy sauce that had no real taste. I’m not into leaving poor reviews, but problems twice in quick succession is just not good enough. Prices here are also on the high side in comparison to other establishments close by, so really would expect higher quality and better service. Do yourself a favor and try other places in the area."

Stumbled across their sign outside and went in for a coffee. Very pleasant, clean and welcoming. I added today’s cheesecake to my coffee.. very naughty!! Very nice too.

Late lunch for a group of (19) hungry motorcyclists. As expected it was great. Service was quick and friendly and the food was excellent. Everyone commented on the quality of their lunch and at the end there were 19 empty plates! Thank you to all at Nico’s

Recently I dined with my good friend Jean. As it was the month of December we took advantage of their Christmas Lunch menu and we both opted for the Loaded Christmas Fries. What a delight that turned out to be! Skinny fires with Turkey, Ham, Stuffing, Sausages, covered with gravy and cranberry on the side. Simply awesome.

Nicos is a little gem in the town of Ballymoney. We went for my dad's 60th a table of 9. Food was absolutely beautiful, great portions and catered to the children in a lovely way nothing was a bother. We will definitely be back. Have dined here several occasions and have never had a bad meal. Desserts are gorgeous! Thanks to all at Nicos for making it a special family evening.

Went for lunch. The place is a bit difficult to find as it's at the back of all others buildings. It looks cool and nice but the smell from the kitchen in the whole place is not what you want to feel. Waitresses very nice and food is good. Bring cash with you as we found the problem when paying. No card, no Revolut. Just back to the main road to the ATM! They should change this system as the bank transfer wasn't easy either.

Family meal for four during Easter holidays. Now I am here reasonably regularly for lunch, but this was the first time for an evening meal in quite some time. Being a Monday night it was a bit quiet, but as ever the food was fabulous. We had a chicken stack, fish, mixed grill and honey chilli chicken. It was all freshly prepared and excellent. As this restaurant is unlicensed we were able to bring our own wine which suits us well. If you like good quality fresh food (and a generous helping) this is the place!

Met with a friend for lunch on Thursday. When we entered, we were told to pick where we wanted to sit. This immediately made me feel at ease as the girl was so friendly. Sat at our table and had a scan of the menu. To say the menu was a lunchtime menu is an understatement. It was full of 'homemade ' dishes. Ordered lasagne and garlic fries. Once the food arrived, I was in shock at how big the portions were. Side salad, or as they call it garnish, was amazing. Lasagne was definitely homemade, as were the fries. Brilliant food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. If I could give 10/10, I would. Definitely will return for more of the same. 5

I’ve been here before so we thought we would try again Menu has changed prices are too much for what it is a burger with a skewer and over cooked garlic fries which you had to pay £2 extra for My friend went to the toilet and came back out quickly they need a good clean debris on the floor We didn’t see the owner this time just an over zealous staff member who asked did we book and then when we said we didn’t looked around her at empty tables and said sit here There was another 2 couples dining plenty of room! Surroundings ok Food not worth the price but the burger tasted ok fries were overpriced and burned Staff doing their job but not over friendly Waiting time good Parking great (but buil...
