Been here several times for food after a day of trekking around Portrush.
The one thing you are always guaranteed here is slow service. The biggest issue here is most of the food is made to order rather than having a steady supply of food ready. More often than not they are queued right out the door, again this is due to the person taking the orders disappearing after every order to do some seemingly imaginary task out the back, before returning to take the next order. They offer telephone orders so this also contributes to the extraordinary waiting time. Wanna beat the queue, ring your order through.
The food here is just ok. I ordered the goujon special and when I got it home the chicken goujon a where actually closer to nuggets. Given the fact they were so small, I ate my right hand that night. Also the gravy is watery. I would suggest the cod goujons for a hearty feed.
Overall the Dolphin is decent and the staff are polite and courteous, they called me "Sir". This pleased me, so I bumped them to 3 stars. -

I feel obliged to say from the off that I may have been a bit the worse for wear when I visited the Dolphin, but not so bad that I cannot remember a very fine portion of fish and chips slathered in salt, vinegar and tomato ketchup. Surely the only civilised way to have it, no?
The cod was firm and white and the batter suitably thick with a dash of grease. Perfect. The chips were not just so good and I fear they may have seen the deep fat fryer more that once, but hey, there are worse things in life to worry about. And I'm pleased to report that the two cost me a purse friendly £4. High fives to that.
Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I have cod and chips again? Darn right. But with a side of onion rings next time.
Seriously though, the Dolphin does just what you expect it to - serve up lots of portions of fish and chips and pasties and sausages and onion rings. It's not sophisticated and I wouldn't recommend making eye contact with other customers late at night, but it hits the spot.
