Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This establishment has to be the cosiest, most comfortable, casual bar/restaurant on the planet. More importantly the food and service and friendliness are superb. I have started to go on a Friday afternoon to treat myself and I honestly cannot complain about one single thing....The food is so tasty, plentiful and well presented. It is consistently delicious, not common in this day and age. The roast dinners are actually the best anywhere because they actually taste of old fashioned roast dinners. Well done the Inn, I’m so happy I’ve found you.More

Hadn’t been here in a few years and decided to return as a family as we had rented accommodation in the Mournes and wanted a decent meal. Wasn’t disappointed, the food was lovely and portion sizes were great.The service was good considering the place was...packed, about a thirty min wait. I’d recommend the salmon,it was delicious, my daughter in law had the roast beef and loved it. One small thing though, we had one member of our group still eating and the waitress whipped away everyone else’s plates. Overall a great experience and will definitely returnMore

Recommended by the B&B we were staying at. Service was prompt, friendly and efficient. Ordered one of their specials and their salmon dish. The portions are huge, one could easily feed two. The meal was hot, delicious and plentiful. Good atmosphere, clearly a Favorite of...locals and understandably so. Go hungry and you will not be disappointed. The chef and staff are to be commended. Glad we took the advice of our host.More

Love Maghera Inn, always guaranteed a good meal. Went with the family on Friday for dinner. Food was amazing, we ordered steak which was cooked exactly how we liked it & katsu curry. The sauce is phenomenal 👌🏼 Great service, the staff provided the kids...with drawings and colours on arrival which kept them entertained. Went above and beyond in making the kids feel special when bringing out dessert too. Highly recommend!More

The atmosphere was lovely the service and food was lacking. First we were ignored by a young man when we asked for our table and he proceeded to walk off. The lamb my mother had was dry and her single massive roast potato was rock...hard. My fathers baby boiled potato were more like new potatoes and they were rock hard. My middle and fries were decent. The service was extremely poor taking ages to clear our table yet the bill came almost immediately when we asked for it. This was our first experience of this establishment and I’m sorry to say that we were disappointed with sub quality food and the lack of interest and care from the staff who would rather all wipe the same table multiple times than do there jobs.More

The booking process was a bit disappointing but we liked the Maghera apart from it taking a long time to place our order - 45 minutes. The food was great and the service good once we’d overcome the original delay.

The food was unreal but the service is really poor. Walked through the door and had to wait 5 mins before anyone would say can I help you. I then sat down and I'm a man that doesn't m8nd waiting on my food if I...have a pint in my hand but took 15 mins until I waved one of the staff down and asked could I get a drink please and some menus. Took 45 mins for our food which again I wouldn't mind if I didn't have to continue waving waiters down for a drink. Don't get me wrong the food is unreal meaning I'll be tempted to go back. But as off the 9th Aug 2023 @ 7pm - 9pm the service was really poor maybe a lack of staff??More
