Argyll Cafe in Argyll & Bute

One of the most expensive cups of coffee I have ever had and it wasn't worth waiting for. The whole cafe smelt strongly of oil fryer fumes. The service was unwelcoming and slow.

Stopped in Lochgilphead on our whistle stop tour of the West Coast of Scotland and found this cafe and takeaway that served the most delicious coffee. Comfy seating inside and the menu for food looked goo too as well as an extensive selection of cakes. We just had coffee on this occasion. Staff were very friendly too and good pricing!

Friendly staff and good food, I especially liked the Club Sandwich.

Best fish and chips, so good went back the next night, very friendly staff excellent

Great little cafe with a very wide selection

Lovely fish supper and very friendly staff.

For fresh fish and chips and good pizza it's very good. The service and prices are good. Too bad we couldn't have a beer. No license.

Not sure what the food was like, we couldn't get past the door! The owner didn't want our custom. She told us we couldn't sit at a table for four as there were only 2 of us, although 2 people had just been sat there. Other tables only had 1 person on them and that didn't seem to be a problem. Never mind, we spent our money elsewhere, your loss love!

A cracking place for fresh fish n chips, very friendly and tasty food. Can’t wait to go back

The home-baked cake was great. Despite the impending break, we received very friendly service.

Always a nice experience friendly staff make you feel welcome when sitting in and take away is great. There pizzas are amazing

Compact cafe and was busy. Warm welcome from staff. Toastie lovely but had to remind waitress about side portion of chips (worth the wait though). Partner had macaroni and said it was delicious 😋

What a brilliant find! Stopped here for lunch on a motorbike tour and sat at an outside table. Superb home made sandwiches and lovely coffee at a very reasonable price (something you rarely find these days). Staff were very friendly and chatty. Very clean kitchen and service area. Will be back here again next time we are in the area.

Been in before thought it was overpriced but with not a lot off choice in Lochgilphead tried the pizza this time. Payed £13:90 for a meat bonanza pizza. Firstly it was like a margarita pizza with a few bits of meat on it. Not what I would call a bonanza. Secondly the base was so thin it would not support the topping, so you where left with a lump off cheese and tomato in the centre of the box. If this guy had his shop in a big city he wouldn’t make any money so has chosen to overprice in a town where people don’t have much choice. Will definitely not be going back.

Nice cafe, average. A bit too costly for the quality. Got my coffee before I got my sandwich. Normally it would be synced. Took more time than necessary to get my order. Sandwich was too dry and not a lot on. I'd go here again but order something else.

Popped in for lunch to a warm welcome and friendly, helpful service. Tasty, simple food cooked well.

Yummmm! Delicious food and a warm welcome at Argyll Cafe 👌

Dropped in with friends while out exploring the area . I had fish and chips , the others had toasties. Very olde worlde in a good way . Young staff were lovely. Good food too .

Well what can I say not only was my order 1hour and 5 mins after the booked delivery time there was not even so much as an apology for it being for late. Its undercooked and over price. I have never know anyone to under cook chips it's not that hard a monkey could do it. Chips were undercooked and half of my order was cold. I think maybe investing in a thermal bag to transport food would be a good start. I was very disappointed when I looked in the box that my meal came in and it looked like something that..... I will attach a photo for you to see for yourselves. I don't understand how if you have booked your time slot at least an hour before sometime longer how is my food still over an hour past delivery time. It's sad that the people in Lochgilphead and surrounding areas are at a disadvantage with our lack of a good takeaway

You haven't lived till you've tried Assuntas. Lasagne, amazing every time .Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Had to fill up the minimum letter requirement lol

Excellent food , tasted like it was made with love ! Tasty milkshakes too .super friendly welcoming young waitress and nostalgic comfy diner decor . I wish I lived closer I would be in all the time .

Visited this place before X-Mas as I was staying overnight in Lochgilphead , it was seemed to me busy from outside so popped in , staff were busy but still they were welcoming each and every guest pleasantly. I ordered coffee first as it was freezing outside , Then I ordered Chicken Goujons which was fresh and juicy , I’m sure they were made homemade the way the were tasted , last but not in the list i ordered chicken Pizza which was perfect as I was looking for , been here almost a year tried pizzas here and there never found what I was looking for there was a chef Michael who explain me about there homemade pizza dough procedure and also the ingredients they use in pizzas it shows there passion for food and good customer service 👌 Thank you for good food and pleasant service , special thanks for chef Michael 😊 Will definitely visit again in future , The best place ❤️

The carry-out large haddock supper was very good and one portion was sufficient for two of us. Prices were a little cheaper than what we would pay at home in Central Scotland. This cafe appears popular and food is cooked to order so you may have a bit of a wait at busy times.

Busy little place. No table available when I got there but within minutes, had a table sorted for me. The breaded haddock was just sublime - best I have had in a long time!!

Very small but very accommodating. Good food made fast. Kids catered for and staff very helpful and friendly.

One of the best calzones I've ever had. They seated us on short notice, even with dogs. Fast service, nice staff, good food, well priced.

Best fish and chips we have had in the UK

Great breaded fish altho a little small and haggis fritters were tremendous

The fish n chips are the dugs baws! I would recommend it.

Probably the best fish and chips I've ever had

Reluctant to go in this cafe but the young man at front of house was lovely , very freindly and very accommodating for me and my in-laws and dog . Food was nice and sufficient with great chips and nice coffee

Very wide selection of food and great service

Good quality food in simple, happy environment. We ordered the fish and chips (great) but we're eyeing up the pizzas as they came out too.

Been before wish it would let people know “it’s CLOSED FOR GOOD”

Great tasting food cooked fresh

Lovely food, we ordered to takeaway rather than sit in the cafe as we had our campervan in the campsite just around the corner, a few people before us and a few people came while we waited. Clearly popular. Prices seem a little higher than some other takeaways/chip shops but for a reason; the portions were big! My photo doesn’t quite do it justice but there was a lot of food. I got vegetable pakora and chips, my partner got chicken pakora and chips. Cooked fresh while we waited, I could only manage 3 out of my 6 pakora as they were massive. Really tasty. Would go back if we had stayed longer.

Don't wait to jump into a typical italian restaurant! Try their wonderful Pizza and AMAZING LASAGNA hot served and PROPERLY DONE by traditional ITALIAN RECIPE!! 🇮🇹 WONDERFUL is a diminutive facing their quality and impeccable italian food quality! 💙 Take a seat and try whatever italian they serve.. it's truly amazing! Also fresh original GELATO (not chemical uk icecream) and more delicious 😋 sweetness as cakes and desserts 🍰! Is also served local uk food as fish&chips , sausages and more.. but honestly i haven't tried.. are uncomparable with amazing TRUE ITALIAN FOOD served here! Best restaurant in town BY FAR! (told from an Italian traveller guy!) So.. step in.. and take a sit in paradise!

Great wee place food was delicious 😋 👌

An oasis of culinary delight in an otherwise under utilised town

Worst fish and chips I've ever had

With a fairly limited choice of venue in town on a Wednesday evening, we happened upon this place after a full day of cycling. What can I say - delightful staff who couldn’t do more, fantastic and freshly prepared pizza arrived very quickly after we ordered and a nominal charge for BYO beer. This place is a gem that deserves to keep doing well - wholeheartedly recommend!

Such a unpleasant experience for tourists passing by aiming for a nice stroll around and have a bit of scran before heading off - food overpriced (tourists?) and bland, could not feel a speck of seasoning. Staff was reasonably ok but the atmosphere and decor looked like from just after second world war. As much as I would like to give it a second shot I would happily go anywhere else.

Had the beef burger toasties. Good food and nice friendly staff. Well recommended!

We called in to The Argyll Cafe for lunch. We ordered Water with ice and lemon (We were told no ice) Orange juice. Medium latte. The drinks arrived a bottle of water no lemon. We waited ages for someone to take our order so much so I went to the counter and ordered. Fish chips Lasagne Macaroni cheese I ordered one haggis for my nephew (he's been in Scotland for 3 years and never tasted it) The orders came apart from the haggis. The fish and chips (came with a slice of lemon)on the menu was with bread and butter and a coffee or tea. We were charged for the coffee. I questioned it as I did not have a coffee with my fish and chips. She said you had a medium one, so I will have to charge you an extra £1. On the menu, it states a family owned for 30 years. I'm not sure how they have lasted 30 days with a bad attitude. I am very, very disappointed with the staffs attitude. We will not be returning even though the food was excellent. Dickie :-(

Amazing. We had chicken goujons and chips. Each goujon must have been a third of a chicken breast. They tasted fantastic. The chips were brilliant as well. Not the cheapest but definitely excellent value for money. Gentlemen serving was very friendly as well and promised the portion would keep us alive until tea time! Definitely worth a visit.

After a long day at work, I decided to check out Argyll Cafe for the first time, curious about their Lochgilphead offerings. With a name like Argyll Cafe, I expected something special, and they certainly didn't disappoint. I went for a pizza, on their recommendation, paired with a homemade coffee, which they claimed was the best. And guess what? They weren't joking. The pizza was superb. It had a perfectly firm yet not overly crunchy crust, and the cheese melted to perfection, stretching delightfully with each bite. The sauce was bursting with flavour, and despite the topping being juicy, it didn't compromise the crust's texture. Besides the outstanding taste, what impressed me was the value for money. The pizza, bursting with quality and flavour, was a steal at only 10 Pounds. The accompanying latte was creamy, milky, and packed with a great taste. The service was nothing short of stellar too. The waitress was friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about providing an excellent customer experience. She managed to serve without spilling a drop of coffee, contributing to a positive and upbeat atmosphere for all customers. Definitely a five-star experience. This pizza has quickly become one of my favourites, solidifying Argyll Cafe's status as a Lochgilphead must-visit. I urge everyone to drop by this local gem for an affordable yet delicious dining experience; trust me, you won't be disappointed. As a local guide, I'm willing to stake my reputation on it!

Good fish and chips, not greasy at all, served with a smile and all at a reasonable price.

Great and delicious food. Friendly staff . Definitely we will be back again soon.

Stopped for tea: each had a fish tea (bread and butter and coffee). Big portions, and tasty, and fresh. Good coffee

Fish n chips at its finest…..for the money.

Wont be back. Never gave me part of my order and when i went back in to say it wasn't there I was made to feel like i was in the wrong and lying about it. Staff unpleasant, had to wait 30 mins more than they said when i went to pick it up and for the prices they charge id expect better food and service. Hope they enjoyed the near £10 they got from me for the nonexistent sausage supper.

Waited over an hour, when i finally did get my order, took it back to my car, realised a sausage supper was missing. Went back in and asked for the missing supper. Was made out to be lying from several members of staff. Eventually offered me the supper but told them to stick it. Never going back here and i hope no one else gets a wrong order or they will rip u off. £10 for an invisible sausage supper. Rest if the food was pretty poor. Hope the seagulls enjoyed their £44 dinner tonight, i certainly didnt.

Fantastic fish tea ,fish very fresh , served by a very pleasant young man ..

Food is ok, the chips where deep-fried in old oil though. Prices are great

Great food and very filling. Friendly staff. Coffee is great. And prices are great for the food you get.

It's ok, unless near closing time when service & quality deteriorate…but pretty good the rest of the time 🤷

Popped in for some lunch and we both ordered a fish tea followed by some cake, which was all lovely 😋

Real pizza. Chewy base. Stringy cheese. This place sells real Italian pizza.

Best burger and chips iv ever had, can't wait to go back A++++

But on the slow side, possibly because of the share responsibility over dine in and take away but once you get the food it's very nice. Just order early and don't worry if your a little late for collection because it's likely you'll need to wait a little longer anyway!

Family stopped in for lunch on our way to Campbeltown. Cafe always busy, but worth the wait. Food is fresh and tasty and happy to adjust some orders for dietary requirements. Clean.

The fish supper was exceptionally fresh and delicious. A wee bit pricey but worth it.

Excellent service sitting in, great variety and superb food,cakes are amazing too. Highly recommend.

Nice table, waitress attentive and cheerful, great fish and chips with tea and buttered bread, speedy delivery.

Good menu range. Most welcome on a cold rainy day. Nice chips - thats all I ate.

Fish and chips were some of the best I've had! Batter was so light !

Great value and excellent food.

Food fine, but 50 min wait for takeaway - definitely not.

very nice coffee, cake a bit dry...friendly staff.

Fab wee cafe breakfast was lovely

Quick service during a busy period lovely fish.

One of the best fish suppers I've had chips were cooked to perfection.

Lovely fresh fish and excellent chips to takeaway. A good sized portion of fish and chips and freshly cooked because this is such a popular takeaway in the town. Had a bit of a wait as a walk-in customer which is understandable but if I had phoned or made the order online I could have just walked in and picked the order up. Would definitely use again but would probably order online next time.

Fish small, chips not wonderful and some had black bits in them - the dog would not eat them! - wonder how old the oil was. Still cannot see how the cost was calculated ..... The girl got the order wrong and then it was my fault! Give it a miss.

Was in today with my brother-in-law had haddock and chips and was absolutely fantastic.

Lovely staff, un trained but very friendly. Our coffee is ok,order flat white and mocha,they are not very hot.Lovely rock bun.

Great chicken soup, sandwiches, tray bakes, cakes and not expensive. Give it a try, staff very pleasant.

We ate in and had fish and chips and pizzas for the four of us. The fish was fresh and tasty, the chips were ‘home done’ and lovely. The pizza was really tasty (lovely tomato sauce). The young man who served us was excellent - attentive and friendly. Thank you very much for a lovely ‘last tea’ before our journey home.

Very nice meals and swift service.

We had fish and chips and pizza and it was all home cooked, fresh and tasty. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. There are around 4 tables and then take-away.

Someone said they are the best fish and chips in the country. I wouldn't go that far. But very very good. Busy on a Saturday evening (good sign). Thank you

We had a delightful sit in fish tea supper in the Argyll, and couldn’t find fault at all. Great food, clean seating area, very friendly staff and all round great dining experience. A credit to the owners. Well done.

Lovely fresh food and very pleasant and efficient staff.

A haddock fish supper. Very tasty.

Very helpful staff,very nice food at reasonable prices 👌.

Je n’ai pas aimé mon plat. J’ai pris des scampi. C’était gorgé d’eau et trop gras. Les frites étaient coupées trop trop grosses. Pas du tout à mon goût. Aucun plat proposer avec des VRAIS LÉGUMES. Mais ça c’est le problème générale du Royaume-Unis. Je ne recommande pas forcément. Mais un lundi férié on n’avais pas trop le choix en faite …. Bref déçu 😞

This is my local chippy haven’t been for a while , recently I heard it was a hit or a miss if you got a good fish supper it always has been good in the past so when checking there website to see closing times on Saturday I was surprised to see so many neg reviews Called in at 5.30 only one person waiting then I put my order in two fish suppers and was surprised to be told 15 mins wait then it got busier a few came to collect online orders to be told 10 mins wait priority for meals was going to the restaurant anyway after 20 mins my fish suppers where ready took them home and the fish was mush the batter was all soft and falling off the fish chips where mostly ok fish should come out fries and into the drier for a few mins they have nothing cooked in advance So I won’t be going back to this chippy again £15 down the drain and 6 mile round trip Expensive dog food

Fantastic, the best fish n chips in the whole of the UK. Well worth a visit and don't forget the ice cream

Great fish suppers and piazzas as is everything else Would thoroughly recommend a visit/takeaway.

Food cooked fresh to order and good portion size

Order online and get a time slot as they can't cope when busy. Was going to be a 25minute wait for a walk up order

Good value . Tasty fish excellent chips best mushy peas.

Nice friendly staff, Price's average.

Nice little place for some Great fish and chips.

Great place for fish and chips and all

Thank you to Argyll Cafe, placed a large order for 16 hungry footballers yesterday with only an hour's notice as we were passing through after a game. Order was ready for us on time, all correct, no problems, very accommodating. Friendly service and most importantly great food, well done, very much appreciated.

Friendly welcome, good service. Food portions are excellent. Recommend the Argyll Burger!

Great customer service and a lovely cosy caffe. Excellent food.

Great food. Well worth a visit. The chips were fantastic and crispy. We ordered the haggis fritters which was a side dish. 4 of them could be easily shared between 2 adults. I wish we'd also ordered the Stornoway black pudding fritters 🤔
