Popped in and booked a table earlier in the day. When we went back to eat no table had been reserved and we were given the most uncomfortable table in the dining area. The poor lad who served us was so nervous he could not take our order. This is a family pub so expect children to be running around. The food was okay, while there was plenty of it, the fish and chips were soggy and the mushy peas looked like dishwater. The veggie options were not the same as shown on the website, nor were the prices. Average throughout, I would have given more stars for the service if I thought they had reserved a table for us as promised

Went here for a Sunday lunch with our golden retriever 1 year old. It was our first attempt to do this and went much better than expected. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the food was good. We both and chicken dishes, the portions were plentiful. Alfie barked 4 times when others dogs arrived. Thankfully it was a single bark each time and we were able to enjoy our meal. Next time I’ll attempt the seafood chowder. Ps if going with a dog you need to book as there are limited spaces

The point is such a nice place to go to. This is where my friends and I met for Lunch last Friday and I must say it was a really lovely experience. The staff were so helpful and friendly and made us feel most welcome. The food did not disappoint, it was well presented and very tasty and plenty of it. We have been here a few times and meant to write a review previous to this as we felt it deserves recognition for the excellent experiences we have had. A special mention to Joanna, Connor & the chef who personally delivered one of our desserts.

Had a really good meal, steak was exceptional, Guinness was excellent. The service could have been a little better, but it was quite late on a Sunday evening, it was good of them to take the booking. It's little things, like the pepper sauce arriving 5 minutes after the steaks and we ordered a second pint of Guinness which never appeared. Nothing major but it spoiled an otherwise perfect meal.

Food is great and if there is something in the meal you want or don't want just inform the staff when ordering. Great selection of food and drink available. Will be back again soon. When you are there there is a nice beach walk beside them with beautiful views well worth a visit. Enjoy

My review is somewhat different. I parked my motorhome outside, got out it, & managed to lock myself out with the keys in the ignition. Went into the restaurant & explained my problem. What a reaction, everyone, customers and staff immediately got involved, people ringing locksmiths etc. One of the staff climbed up on the roof, managed to open an impossibly small skylight & then unscrewed it, removed it, & climbed in! the hole was extremely small. He got my keys out of the ignition, returned them to me & then refitted the skylight; amazing. He wouldn't accept any reward from me for all his efforts on my behalf. All I can say, once again, thank you very much for what you did for me. The reaction of all of the staff & customers was amazing & I am humbled by the experience. I won't forget my visit to the Point Bar in Magilligan for a long time. Derek Moffitt

We were waiting on the ferry back to Greencastle place looked good To be fair the guy that seated us was very friendly and seated us straight away but the girl who took the orders was less than friendly Even managed to take wrong order's The food was ok we've had worse but if i was to offer advice if catching the ferry go to Greencastle and dine at the castle Inn

One of my favourite restaurants. Really relaxed, family orientated and excellent quality food. Can be busy over the summer with the ferry coming over.

Really lovely dinner and arranged at very short notice. We had the dog with us so ate in the bar (about four tables available for that). Restaurant was crowded, boisterous and the atmosphere was great. Even in the cold weather (July !!!) there were diners willing to eat outside. Good, varied menu and attentive service. A real find, with good walks from the door.

While on a touring holiday our B&B host recommended the Point, we arrived mid evening without a reservation, the food hygiene rating was 3 out of 5, we would not normally eat in such a place. Many expensive cars in the car park so we went in. We were found a table after a couple of minutes, the place was busy, the food being served looked good. Drinks arrived quickly, followed by the main course, all looked well except the side dish of potatoes didn’t arrive. We had to ask for them! My wife enjoyed her goats cheese and portobello mushroom meal, I however did not enjoy my ribeye steak from the special of the day board. Every mouthful of meat had some hard or stringy bits in it that I was unable to chew properly, either leaving it on the plate or swallowing it if possible. The staff were very busy and were scruffily dressed and obviously untrained for the job at hand, nobody checked with us while eating. Maybe I should have complained, but after seeing the calibre of staff I decided to finish our meal and leave. Outside is the local ferry and some lovely views, but I cannot recommend this place for either food or service.

Folks, only giving this a one star as I want to share our experience. We are literally just out of the restaurant and we are appalled by the service. As we have been coming here for a while as we stay down here in summer months, we arrived today at a table booking for 15:30. We were brought down to our table (not asked did we want a drink) and sat for approx 15 minutes looking at a menu before being approached by a member of staff to take our order. After placing our order, we then sat for a further hour waiting and I decided to go and ask as the people beside us was wondering what was going on also. At this stage I had 2 drinks and I went to the manager and explained that I would pay the bill for the drinks and go elsewhere and I got an apology as one of the ‘new starts’ misplaced our order docket. So we ordered our food and the waitress that originally took our order came down and apologised and put the blame on someone else. At this stage I said don’t worry and I ordered another drink with her and she said don’t worry, I’ll get this drink for you. We were then approached by a waitress asking did we want desert, well a further 10/15 minutes past and still no menu left. When my other half went and asked for a desert menu she was told by the waitress ‘this isn’t your day is it’. We decided enough was enough and avoided desert and went to pay the bill and we were told one drink was being deducted for our troubles. Yes one pint. I paid the bill and spoke to the manager in the reception area and explained the situation as he was the one himself that said the rounds of drink prior to this would be excluded to be simply told, ‘I’m sorry about that’. More or less bye. The sickening thing is the food is good, however service is atrocious. My money can be spent elsewhere!!

Ordered kids sausages and chips. Was given vinegar full of flies and child had already put all over her dinner, flies and all. Kids cheesy pasta was like rubber. Seafood chowder was the worst I’ve ever had with a consistency of porridge and tasteless with a few small flakes of salmon and 2 prawns, didn’t have a choice to change as they had no wheaten bread left so served it with burnt ciabatta without even asking. Steak was poor with limp old salad garnish, greasy chilli chips with too much chilli and chorizo sauce which was full of grease and too many big chunks for a sauce! Wont be back!

Lovely place situated right by lough Foyle looking over into Donegal. We booked in advance as we wanted to eat in the bar and we have two dogs The Point Bar is dog friendly. 2nd visit this year, my daughter had Salmon and prawns, with fries, my wife had chicken stack and skinny fries and I ordered the chilli beef pitta, salted chilli chips and a mixed salad. Honestly it was so tasty, my beef pitta was delicious, all three of us cleaned our plates. For all of that, plus 2 pints of 00 Guinness, 2 cokes, 2 x 250ml bottles of Chilean Sauvignon for £85. Staff very helpful, extremely friendly and polite. Def we will be back soon!

Stopped for lunch at 12 o'clock before going over on the Lough Foyle ferry. Restaurant was chilly as it had just opened and raining outside. I did not realise there is a lunch menu as we were only given the full menu which is more pricey. However staff were pleasant and efficient; order came correctly, food was great and portions large! My chicken gougons were tender and nicely done and everyone enjoyed their meal. Happy to recommend and will definitely return.

Staff clearly very stressed even with quite a few empty tables. Waiter who said us down was super rude and argued quite a bit with us that we didn’t tell him we had a pram with us when requesting a table and this seemed to be a major issue. It was super embarrassing and I just felt a little like babies weren’t welcome - I’m still getting used to baby life with a 4 month old and this was one of our first trips out for dinner as family of 3. Food and Guinness were lovely but staff really made it a horrible experience for us and definitely wouldn’t be back unfortunately.

The tea is absolutely dreadful, tastes like it was made from the hot water tank in an airing cupboard! Very metallic and unfresh. The chowder was a disappointment too unfortunately, however the chicken goujons and homemade triple-cooked chips were cooked to perfection. The coffee was acceptable although the blend used wasn't anything special, maybe they don'tdrinkcoffee themselves? But for a warm atmosphere from both staff and regular customers, this place is top notch in that regard. The prices are reasonable in my opinion, the COL crisis affects everyone and as such cutbacks have to be made to allow the business to survive.

1st time back in over a year. Went elsewhere because I felt the standard had fallen of a cliff. Tonight was bunged being Paddy's night so I am guarded about what I want to say. Standard is better than last season, but still just OK. It's not enough to pay over the odds and travel the distance. The steak was just OK, the pepper sauce was poor but the tobacco onions were very good. Service was good considering the crowd and staff were professional, if a little rushed. I will reserve proper judgement until I go on a weekday or any day accept a public holiday. I do generally like this place, love its location and the atmosphere, just wish I could rave about the food, unfortunately at this time I can't.

Food menu is just the right size - not so long that you're paralysed by choice yet enough variety to prevent it from being boring. Relaxed atmosphere. Reasonable prices. My favourite thing about here is that it's not fancy food, it's not trying to be something it isn't, it's just honest freshly cooked food. Good location, easy to get to by car and plenty of parking. I will be back soon! Highly recommended.
