Been dining here since it opened 20 years ago. Great home cooking. Wonderful staff, first class food and the best place to eat in Dromore. A coffee and dessert or even a large (I mean large) full meal. The best value in the ABC Council area and beyond. Also the Christmas Dinners are really worth waiting for. Continued success to Michelle, Adele and Andrea.

We asked another shop in Dromore where to eat and was told about this restaurant. Could not recommend it enough. Good wholesome homemade cooking. It is very reasonably priced and a very varied menu. I had chicken pie, full of chicken, chips, real mushy peas and carrot and parsnip. As you can see I got plenty!

Had lunch in the court yard. Only 6 tables, which meant it was nice and quiet. You had to order upstairs in the main cafe (not so good if you have mobility issues) & the food & drinks were delivered to you. The food was gorgeous. Everything is homemade & this reflects in the taste. Load of sweet treats to tempt everyone. My son choose the apple pie.....wish I had chose this also....beautiful. Will be back.

What a cracking find . Well worth a visit as easy to park with a gift shop on ground level as cafe is upstairs. Spotless clean and the food was delicious and home made. A party of four we all had different things from the menu. Reasonably price with fresh quality ingredients. No mention about the cakes that were available as the sponge cake was devine with a cuppa. Tip…take cash as no card facility.

It doesn’t come much better than this. The food is beautiful home cooked food. You feel like you’re sitting at your granny’s kitchen table all over again.The girls couldn’t be any nicer. And do a great job of remembering a face.Couldn’t beat the portion sizes or value for money.. absolute best place I know for a tasty lunch, I recommend to anyone who will listen. Keep up the great work 5***Oh and make sure you get a wee toffee mallow while you’re there
