    First time I've been here was very happy food was well seasoned and choice was excellent, would definitely recommend to others, I worked in a french kitchen for 7 years and in the hotel restaurant trade too.

    We visited this place this time last year and it was amazing, not sure if there are new owners. Food was not great, steak pie super dry little gravy and the gf fish and chips was just ok. We also had the teriyaki wings very very salty. Sad as we loved the food last year. Server was on point though fast, efficient and knowledgeable.

    Food was ok, just not what we were expecting for the price we paid. The smoked salmon sandwich sounded lovely, however when it arrived I was a bit disappointed to find it was a salmon paste. Cucumbers and tomato missing, if there isn’t any I feel like the server should notify there would be changes to the food. Quick and friendly service, lovely restaurant.

    Restaurant was very busy but the staff worked hard to ensure we were offered a table at the time we booked. Service was good and ther was no delay in being offered drinks and in placing the order. Two orders of fish and chips and one burger. Fish was cooked in thick batter which was very undercooked and we were able to only eat the fish and had to leave the batter. The burger was overcooked and tough. We complained about the quality of the food and were offered complementary coffees which we refused. We accepted a 10% reduction on the cost of the food. We have been to the Cardross Inn a few times in the past and were generally satisfied. This time the food was very much below standard. Such a pity as it was a birthday celebration.

    Took 25 minutes to tell us one of the starters was unavailable and another 20 minutes to tell us a different one was also not available. Took over 1hour and half before started arrived. The food was terrible. Have been before and was amazing. Have been back on 2 more occasions and the food was definitely below par

    From check in to check out our stay was fantastic. The room was spotless and well supplied with toiletries and tea, coffee and bottled water. Our evening meal was very tasty and only surpassed by a truly exceptional breakfast. The service and atmosphere were brilliant and a special mention must go to Eve “the playlist queen” who gave great service over breakfast. If you get the opportunity to stay here, don’t hesitate just book it.

    Food we had was awful. One member of the party ordered the Sunday roast - the beef was so tough that he struggled to cut it and the Yorkshire pudding and potatoes were hard, overcooked and (in the case of the puddings) burned! There was very little macaroni in the mac and cheese options and 2 of us found the sauce far too salty. The waitresses were brilliant at keeping us informed about delays due to an exceptionally (and very loud) large group who were also there. They were excellent, the one bright spot in an otherwise disappointing visit.

    Traditional (limited) menu of pub food, which has generous portions. Food was tasty but a little overpriced for what you get compared to some premium restaurants around. (£4.50 for a small bowl of fries, for example). More home cooked food than chef cooked. Lovely warm fireplace and was nice and cosy. Nice clean decor and comfortable to sit - like the booths. Easy to book online.

    Good food in lovely atmosphere. Great turkey dinner, kids fish and chips. Would have given 5 star for food if lasagne hadn't been so cheesy and Brussels sprouts were with Christmas turkey as it said on menu. Also cheesecake unfortunately wasn't set right and just was like eating cream but could have been nice if not for this mistake. Well presented.
