I had the crispy duck taco , but all clients were impressed . Uninterrupted Views of the beach is an added bonus . Keep up the great work .. luv it .
Great afternoon lunch
Brilliant service, fantastic food. Despite walking in without a booking after a short wait (at the bar) we were seated inside. We will definitely be back with friends and family. Many thanks for a lovely afternoon.
A welcoming atmosphere with quality fresh food & friendly service.
We had a wonderful meal & experience at Harry’s Shack, Portstewart late yesterday afternoon Wed (21/02/24). The weather outside had turned stormy with a high tide, so no walk on the beach. The staff were extremely helpful & accommodating, when we arrived at their door. Our fish & chips & extras were delicious & tasted really fresh. The Shack had a lovely warm open log fire & a very welcoming & inviting ambience, which was very much appreciated. The meal was very reasonably priced with great service. Highly recommended! Looking forward to a return visit very soon!
Sept rude staff who didn’t seem to want customers
I hadn’t been to Harry’s shack in years and I was excited to take my boyfriend there to try it. We were greeted with a very abrupt ‘ you haven’t booked’ from a man with an English accent and so I apologised that we were unaware of the booking policy. This nice younger guy then helped us with the online booking system and apologised for how we were spoken to. When we returned for our booked lunch the man said to us again it’s bookings only so I showed him my booking and it seemed like we were reluctantly seated. We then watched the same man turn people away with the same attitude and say we are fully booked when another group came unannounced and were seated straight away by another waiter. To be honest the atmosphere put us off so much we just left. Two of the other waiters were very nice I just couldn’t believe how this man was speaking to customers. It unfortunately has really put me off returning :(
Good service to start but went down hill very quickly
Unfortunately there was a problem but we were just disparaged. At no time was we asking for anything other than a replacement. This seemed to send the chef into some kind of Gordon Ramsey strop and refused to acknowledge that there was a problem. He refused to take item of the bill. We only paid for what we had. We have eaten all over the world and have never been treated in such a manner. I sincerely hope this place doesn’t rely on the chef to heavily - he will put you out business. Honestly it was only average at best. Good luck.
Wee dinner date.
Really nice place to eat. Lovely log fire on, nice music playing in background. Waiter at table pretty quickly with drink and food menus. We ordered chowder and the mussels. Both were fantastic. Nice pint of rockshore to go with mussels. Will definitely be back. Parked on beach which was close by.
Amazing compared to June!
So much better than when we visited in June and said we wouldn’t be back!! Today we decided to give it another go.. firstly please keep the waitress that served us today, she was amazing!! The place was so warm and the service was just a complete turn around 200%…food amazing especially the padron peppers and the level of service was honestly just a completely different restaurant experience..we might even go back tomorrow 🥰
Disappointing and over priced
First visit and we won't be back. Firstly it was freezing! One member of staff tried to keep it going but it was so cold, which wasn't a great start. Mains - steak was very expensive and was very fatty and you could barely see the kale! Other mains were average but would've expected more for what we paid. Dessert - shouldn't have been served! The profiteroles were hard as rocks! Barely any sauce on them! Service- after asking a few times for dessert menu, the waitress slapped down the menus on the table and didn't say anything to us. Also, all staff are dressed in hoodies. I'd normally not have an issue with this but it didn't reflect the prices of the food - would expect a higher level of service.
Disappointing
Lovely staff and really good service but food was disappointing. Nice starters of wings and mussels. Nice Chardonnay wine. Gnocchi was tasty. Burger was burnt and dry. Cod was cooked well but sauce was oily and not nice. Expensive for a less than average meal.
Good food, friendly service and tremendous views
Enjoyable evening here with my wife - great views and a cosy log burner that kept the chill away. Food was good quality and service attentive and friendly. Thank you.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Harry's Shack Portstewart at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Harry's Shack Portstewart page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* BraveCloth47, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* BraveCloth47 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to BraveCloth47 for any questions Peter may have as BraveCloth47 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at Harry's Shack Portstewart to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Harry's Shack Portstewart!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
