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.

We came here because of the reviews we read and we were not disappointed. We are both veggies and it can be hard sometimes to get decent food. The veggie fry we had was one of the best and very decently priced. Staff were lovely...and friendly. If we're back in Ballycastle we will definitely call in again.More

We needed a place for breakfast because we had missed the breakfast that was included at our B&B due to being out hiking. So we wanted to find something that the locals frequented. Nothing extraordinary but great service and a friendly staff. Just what we...needed until our next meal.More

Went here last Sunday morning with 2 friends. The staff were really friendly and the food was very good. We ordered the large frys which were not at all greasy and good value. Would recommend and would return again.

Our favourite place to eat in Ballycastle when with the family. Everyone finds something they like on the menu. My personal favourite is the veggie fry-up. Friendly staff. Excellent coffee. Great value

Back a couple of years ago I had opportunity to have a chat with the owner of our dolly's As a trained chef ( myself ) I advised her at the time to keep providing good honest decent food at a reasonable price and her...customer footfall to her door would grow week by week ... Another visit by my wife and I yesterday was again met by good honest decent food and the price was very affordable.. Our dolly's is just simply the best it's a very well run business with no airs of graces quality food at affordable prices and at 57 years old I doubt if I'll ever see our dolly's closed Many happy years to come our dolly's Decently food at a decent price is the key to success Keep up the great workMore

We enjoyed breakfast at Our Dollys twice on a recent trip to Ballycastle. (Would have been more, but our B&B included breakfast.) Both visits the service was good and food delicious. My girls also thought the lattes were some of the best of anywhere over...our 9 days in Ireland!More

I've always heard people talking about how good the food and service was here but honestly I was disappointed. When we walked in, it was maybe half full but not terribly busy, we were shown to a table by a very grumpy faced young girl...who stopped to the table and literally threw the menus across the table. We waited for 15 minutes before I went to till asking to place an order, I was told there was one staff member taking orders and there was 1 table ahead of us then ours would be taken. 20 minutes and 4 tables later we finally managed to get our order taken. The whole time the rest of the staff just seemed to be standing around with their hands on their hips and sour expressions on their faces. The food did arrive quickly but was pretty basic, chips sausage etc were hard and dry. Dont think ill be rushing back.More

We visited Our Dollys for breakfast (brunch) on the recommendation of our Airbnb host. We were not disappointed. We were seated in a booth and the staff were prompt and friendly taking our order. My husband opted for the large fry whilst I had a...pick and mix of various "fry" items from the menu. We both had large helpings that kept us going throughout the rest of the day. Would highly recommend.More

We had breakfast here twice whilst staying with friends in Ballycastle. The staff were so welcoming especially Shelley who entertained us by flattering our husbands! They have an extensive choice of breakfasts, from traditional to pancakes or eggs Benedict all very reasonably priced. There is...a real community vibe, the staff show a genuine caring approach towards customers which was lovely to witness. They also have a great selection of cakes. If you happen to be in Ballycastle please pop in.More
