Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

A cozy classic that never disappoints.

Desperate Dan's Sandwich Bar is like that nostalgic café you didn't know you missed until you stepped inside. This place serves up a classic fry that’ll make your heart sing and your stomach dance. Mark, the owner, gets a special shout-out for swapping out eggs for black pudding—now that’s service. Paul and Ryan have been singing its praises for years, calling it the number one fry spot in Ballymena, and honestly, who can argue with that?

The atmosphere here is warm and welcoming, just like a hug from your favorite aunt. Trust me, if you want comfort food at a reasonable price, this is where you want to be. It’s got that down-to-earth vibe that makes you feel right at home. You might just find yourself wishing you could take this place back with you. 🥓🍞
