Pitstop - North Down

The restaurant has a charming atmosphere and the owner appears to be very friendly, however, there isn't much of a selection for vegetarians and vegans. Unfortunately, I was put off by how an elderly family member was treated somewhat harshly by a staff member. It seems she may not realize that older individuals may not be as quick or aware as she is. It's a shame because the restaurant looks beautiful and the owner clearly pays attention to detail, but it's not a place I would return to.

Called in for breakfast around 11.30am with family.....was almost tempted to get a lunchtime dinner instead....until I saw the flies resting happily on the freshly set out food (yuck)....so I reverted back to my original option of the full soda as I know its cooked right away and brought out to the table before the flies have time to feast on it.....mind you who knows where the soda has been sitting uncovered ??? Also it would be nice if the windows and glass partitions between seats were cleaned at least once a week as opposed to what looks like once a year as they were filthy......not leaving out the grease marks running down the walls near the door !!! There is also an Asian woman walking around who doesn't smile and not even a hello....she seems to be a table cleaner but when not doing this task could attempt to do a quick clean of the glass partitions at least as she does have a spray and cloth in her hand. We'll just go elsewhere to a nice cafe instead next time.... Dare i mention the staff they could also do with a lesson in friendliness and manners when dealing with the public.....

I brought my family into here for their breakfast, standing in the queue i watched the flies landing on the food i was nearly sick, people dont realise that once a fly lands it vomits on food and thats what gives you a tummy bug,hence we only eat a fry , the glass windows were filthy between the seats, grease running down the walls the place is a disgrace, person walking up and down nothing to do with a tray in her hand spray cloth, clean some glass in between the seats theres always something to clean. Very disappointed called the fella over about all our eggs were fried hard no yoke, well thats the way we do them we turn are eggs over! Great attitude. Time to clean up your act and get your staff to work harder and learn to wash and clean in a food business. It will be a while before we are back, then some day we will call in and see if your place is any cleaner. You should consider a pull down lid for the front of your food to keep flies out, your food looks nice but i dont want to become ill with food not being covered.

We had Sunday carvery there a few weeks ago. The food was well cooked and hot when it was brought to our table. Go early as it gets very busy around 1-1.30.

In our search for the best fry in Bangor, we decided to give the Pit Stop a try. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. When we placed our order, we requested to have our tea served at the same time as our fry, but we were told we would have to go back up and get it ourselves. When our fry finally arrived, it did not look very appetizing. The fried egg was hard and cold, leading us to believe it had been cooked earlier. The rest of the food on the plate was not very warm either. On the bright side, the tea was hot. After reading other reviews, we can relate to the negative experiences others have had. Overall, we did not enjoy our visit and will not be returning.
