Brooklyn Bay Diner

Roomy, vibrant and buzzing big American diner. The service was very good, friendly and welcoming. Lots of choice on the menu and variations of traditional dishes. The food was beautifully cooked and tasted great. Opted for the steak sandwich and the flavours were delicious. The rest rooms are chic and spotless. Nice vibe in the restaurant with plenty of laughter, chatter and good atmosphere. Only negative criticism being, the food wasn't pipping hot, perhaps because it was busy when we ate there. Overall though , a very pleasurable experience, the food tasted yummy and the staff are so very friendly and helpful.

A rather authentic looking diner around the port. Massive portions, very American sizes, and flavourful. Interesting combinations on the menu for those looking for a fusion option, and a flavourful offering for both beef and chicken burgers. Pretty decent onion rings albeit slightly burnt when we visited, might have been the last use of the oil, but still, crispy with a decent batter. Great for dates and a family meal before the ferry, or just for that dine out. We had a lively waitress sit us and take our orders and everyone else seemed really nice.

The menu here has a wide variety of options including vegetarian options and a vast range of American style burgers which are a must try. Service is amazing here and servers are always really friendly, especially the manager who is very accommodating and professional. The breakfast menu is amazing for value and taste and comes with a variety of options, we will definitely be returning for this and the desserts are perfect as well and come in nice portion sizes.

As I live in Larne but don't drive dining here is a treat for me. My daughter was down and asked where I wanted to go and there was no hesitation 'Brooklyn Bay Diner' please. It takes a bit for your eyes to adjust from the outside to the interior and you have to sort of blink because it's not what you would imagine. It's fabulous seeing the inside and as soon as you walk in the door the staff are very attentive leading you to one of the multitude of booths you can go to. I'm sure if a booth is not to your choice just speak up and they will place you elsewhere. Everything is so clean from the tables, booths, cutlery, condiments, dishes etc As soon as a customer leaves the establishment their table is cleared and disinfected. I must say the gentleman who served us couldn't have been any more professional, courteous and friendly with not being over the top. It's like Goldilocks the staff get it just right. I, of course, got my tea that came in a big pot it was showing a little tiredness being chipped thoughextra milk and I actually forgot how many cups I got for only £1.99 plus a biscuit. It was a thoroughly enjoyable cuppa, I must say. My daughter had asked me before we went if they would allow you in if you just wanted to go for tea. Well we didn't just have tea, in the end, like so many you settle in and the ambiance, spaciousness, menus, friendliness of the staff and for many other reasons, that regular diners know about, you end up wanting to experience it a little longer while enjoying the food, beverages and company. A little slice of America in our wee Larne Town, definitely a place for a catch up with friends, informal meetings, chats, whether as a couple, group, family or just yourself and I am positive you can call in just for a cup of tea when you're doing your shopping in Asda etc

Always a good meal.... great that you can just walk in no booking needed. Excellent deal for a Saturday night two eat for £26 with a drink included plus 2 side orders..great food highly recommend

Beautiful food. We had brunch today and the food and service were excellent. Pancakes were delicious and the milkshake was massive. Would recommend

On holiday from England, we stumbled across this restaurant as we were staying in Larne. Called in late afternoon and the place did not look open. Our waitress was keen and jovial. I chose the baby back ribs and Brisket sandwich. My wife had the chicken pasta. Both dishes were exemplary and sizeable as Parking: Huge car park shared with other businesses

Save your money and eat somewhere else! Wanted to give them zero stars however I had to give then 1 star, as you can’t post a review unless you give it at least 1 star! We ordered food with a waitress who had been there just a week. She came back twice to double check the order which extended our waiting time. That’s fair enough and to be expected given her inexperience. However we also spoke to another waitress twice after that, in order to confirm our order and even then we had to remind them that we had ordered a “large” glass of wine. That ya was eventually sorted. It was 7:30 on Sunday evening and people were out for a meal with their families. Throughout our meal, other staff were moving tables and chairs in another part of the restaurant and with the high ceiling and the acoustics, the noise was like world war 3! We complained and the noise was reduced. We asked for “hot” plates to keep the food warm however when they arrived they were luke warm. We complained to the assistant manager and on arrival at our table she asked “what’s wrong”. Not a great start! The assistant manager said she would look at our bill to see what she could remove which again was fair enough. She came back and advised that she had removed the wine from our bill which meant that we got a £6 discount! That insult was the final straw. We got up, paid the bill and walked out, never to return! Shocking service and appalling customer relations!!

I really enjoyed our family Sunday dinner in Brooklyn bay. The staff were super friendly and professional and obviously loved their job. The food was super tasty even though we have fussy kids. The menu selection was original and really tasty. Brilliant atmosphere with all the lighting and layout. Would 100% recommend.Food: 4/5

The food is great, the staff are amazing. We love coming here!Food: 5/5
