Desperate Dans - Ballymena

Bad quality food that is not even properly cooked. Very expensive. I ordered a frit, but I gave the wrong order. The "Waitress" that is in her 60s shook so much that she dropped the plates. Avoid all costs.

Used to go to Desperate Dans quite regularly, but was surprised by a recent visit, not very clean and very tired looking. Food is okay, but small portions

Brilliant wee caffe, to which I have been going for many years earlier I visited it as a teenager about 30 years ago and it has not changed anything; the same lady owner is still there that adds only the charm and...secret feeling! The food is nice, I had delicious dry crispy chips, a piece of baked pice and a beautiful side salad. The portion sizing is good, everything was freshly cooked and came hot. This meal was under a fifth excellent value!! There are many specials. I was particularly impressed by the selection of baked potatoes for 3.95 pounds each. Nothing is special and the owner is friendly, yet professional. I definitely come back and bring my family! Thank you.

This is a small family-run café with great simple food, dry crispy chips, crispy bacon, strong tea, many specials and nothing is special. Have often passed, but give it a try you will be pleasantly surprised.

This charming little restaurant in Ballymena has been a favorite of mine for almost 30 years. The food is always delicious, reasonably priced, and served by a wonderful staff in a cozy atmosphere.
