Shelby's Holywood is out of this world. We ordered 8 dishes of food and each dish was 10/10 delicious. I have honestly never been to a restaurant before were I have been so taken aback by a dish, nevermind 8! The chicken & waffle, pork burnt ends and meat tacos were something else. Not only was the food fantastic, the service was impeccable. A nice small cocktail bar with a hidden gem of a chef. We will 100% be back.

The food was disappointing. We have been before, but on this occasion the menu was different and it all tasted very deep fat fried. The service was very good however.

Superb service and food! Great value for money. Ambience marked the it is, as it seemed fairly quiet which was compensated with loud music. We will be back! Menu was flawless! Thank you!

We’ve been to Shelbys a few times and always enjoyed the meal. This time the menu was in the process of being updated so there were 4 dishes currently unavailable with no alternatives. Given the smallish menu, this was quite a high proportion. However, the food we had was as delicious as ever. It’s just a shame my favourite dish (the dirty rice) wasn’t available!

Shelbys is a lovely addition to Holywood. A great place for a beautiful glass of wine, some nibbles and a catch up with friends.

We were two couples and decided to visit the restaurant as the result of online reviews. We were a bit surprised that hardly any of the tables were taken particularly on a Saturday evening so any ambience was somewhat lacking. We each had 3 dishes, nearly all different so we could sample a little of each other’s. The food although not your normal run of the mill menu, was average, pleasant but nothing special. The staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. We ordered a couple of bottles of wine and had two craft beers. Have to say the drinks pricing here is much too expensive. Overall we were disappointed and would neither recommend the restaurant nor revisit.
