Ballinluig Motor Grill in Perth & Kinross

Called in enroute to Inverness for a quick bacon roll. Ordered 2 bacon rolls and asked for bacon and black pudding on toast. Was totally overcharged at the till and when I questioned it the woman behind the counter denied it. I will not go again and would advise you carry on to Pitlochry and a nice little cafe there 🥲

Had been recommended to us by friends, so enroute to Inverness , we stopped. We had small breakfast(with toast) ,bacon roll, tea & coffee for £14.39! Great value and made even better when we were given free refills! We stopped on return journey for coffee and scones, but had to complain that my scone had been heated without asking, ( I hate when butter melts) staff took this complaint graciously, advising that going forward they would ask before heating. Would certainly recommend this place to stop as friendly staff, very clean and tremendous value for money.

We have went to Ballinluig Motor Grill for years and years and always had amazing food and service. Particularly like the make over and the staff have always treated us very great kindness . The Macaroni is our favourite . Also great that staff and owners are locals too .

I thought this was a very nice visit and meal with a friend. The food was brilliant however, the burger didn’t have a bun which was 60p more I still liked the burger and the fries were incredible they also had lots of supply’s of sauce and vinegar aswell as salt! The drink I got was a bottomless and was good because they had different choices as usual like vimto and lemon and lime which was so good! I recommend going here if you visit Scotland or live around the area.

Great breakfast and coffee, fast service, clean and with a nice transport caff atmosphere. Easy parking after filling up with fuel. Staff not exactly rude but just not friendly at all - a cheerful welcome would really add to a positive experience especially when you’ve been driving for a few hours! Would have been five stars if staff had been a bit more welcoming (I work in tourism so appreciate it gets tiring but a simple smile works wonders!)

Just off the A9, Ballinluig Services and Motorgrill is the real deal. Fair price for fuel. A few lorries parked up - always a good sign. Looks out at hills and forests - very calming. The motorgrill looks like it has been refurbished recently - contemporary take on retro/vintage diner. I had a full Scottish breakfast but asked for no black pudding and got extra bacon in it's place. The quality of the ingredients was superb and the portions were generous. VERY tasty bacon. Bottomless refills of tea/coffee when buying a main meal. I benefited from this by getting my travel mug filled before leaving. Anyone reading my reviews may think I give 5* to everywhere I go. Not so - if I don't like somewhere I don't go back and I don't leave a review. There are plenty of folk who revel in leaving negative reviews and complaining constantly. I've decided I don't want to join that club of complainers. Instead, if I have a positive experience with good service and enjoy good quality produce, I choose to write about that. In this instance I'm absolutely blown away by how good Ballinluig Services Motorgrill is - authentic, independent - proper grub, plenty of it and excellent service.

Never fails to offer good, hot food fast. Good value for money. Staff always pleasant and the place is always clean. Always busy!

Always welcoming, fast reliable service and good quality food. Cannot fault the whole Ballinuig team they always go above and beyond to make it an enjoyable experience with my disabled Dad.

Visited with my family on way back from Aberdeen. I had sausage, egg, chips and beans. To be fair the egg was nice and beans fine but took a bite of the sausage and immediately spat it back out as it tasted absolutely disgusting, like it was off . The chips were all mostly hard and not cooked properly. The tea was ok. Definitely won't be going back.

We've been coming to this place for over 30 years and it WAS excellent. The place has had a make over with less tables. The meal choices have been significantly reduced and the prices were high. My wife loves 'mince and tatties', but that had been removed from the menu. She ordered chicken and it was average. I ordered the fish and chips and the quality of the dinner was average, the portions small. Neither of us were impressed. How in the name of the wee man could you anyone make a howler of such a famous and popular restaurant? The usually friendly staff seemed bored and disinterested. After doing up the restaurant they forgot to do anything with the toilets! Own goal. My advice would be to avoid this place and try Pitlochry for restaurants/food. Such a pity this has been ruined. New owner?

We’ve been going here as a family for many years, and it was always good, with friendly, cheerful staff. We went in for lunch and were surprised to see that the place has had a makeover (except the toilets!). Has the place changed hands? There seems to be less tables. We preferred it as it used to be - a traditional ‘no frills’ truck stop/restaurant, suitable for all. No waitress service anymore which is a real shame, and you now must pay up front, which is never a good idea if you have an issue with your meal. Most of the staff were friendly, but one in particular looked like he’d rather be anywhere else than standing taking orders and payment from ‘irritating’ customers! The food was ok. Not sure if we’ll ever return. Lots of other places in the area to go instead!

What a gem. This place is the Redbeck of the North. (If you know you know) a stop to break the journey North. Cracking service and lovely food. Well worth the visit. Its not Michelin star, it's just good wholesome food. Top COVID preparations and standards. Thanks for looking after us in these difficult times.

What a great place, great staff and great place👍Stopped on our way back home to London Superb Breakfast 👍

Quick fast food even in COVID times. Had the chicken strips that hit the spot. Staff very friendly..

Stopped here for a change on the drive down from Inverness. Ideally situated just off the A9 only 20 miles from Perth and 5 miles from Pitlochry. Breakfast I had was £7.90 and the cuppa was £1.50. Worth every penny.

Excellent food, well priced, good service and friendly staff. All day breakfast recommended. Good covid security measures in place

Paramos aquí para comer algo en nuestro camino de regreso de Benbecula y, como siempre, la comida y el servicio son excelentes, bien organizados para covid: 19 restricciones, el personal fue muy agradable y la comida de primera clase, esta es nuestra parada habitual. punto cuando nos dirigimos al norte, muy recomendable.

He estado en algunos lugares desde que se levantó el bloqueo y la mayoría se ha adaptado muy bien a la situación con el coronavirus. Desafortunadamente, Motor Grill no fue uno de ellos.Aunque se ha cambiado la distribución de los asientos y hay mucho espacio entre las mesas con medidas de higiene adicionales introducidas, hubo otras cosas que no fueron tan buenas.Las puertas estaban abiertas de par en par y no era nada cómodo sentarse en el frío restaurante siendo golpeado por el viento que soplaba por el lugar. Pedimos cambiar de mesa cuando nos informaron que no se les permitía cerrar las puertas, sin embargo, la nueva mesa era solo un poco mejor.¡Este es el único lugar en el que he estado donde dijeron que no se les permite cerrar las puertas! Si es así, ¡necesitan invertir seriamente en algunos rompevientos y calentadores!Después de hacer el pedido, se nos pidió que pagáramos antes de la comida (debido al sistema de un solo sentido aparentemente implementado, sin embargo, para hacer esto tuvimos que caminar en el camino equivocado por el sistema de un solo sentido, junto con todos los demás que necesitan pagar o quieren hacerlo). ¡Usa el retrete!) Bastante inútil realmente.También hubo algunas quejas de otros clientes mientras estuvimos allí (el restaurante frío y algunas personas a las que les dijeron que no podían entrar sin máscaras). Cualquiera que trabaje en servicio al cliente sabe que nunca debe levantar la voz a un cliente, sin importar lo incómodo que sea, sin embargo, el gerente de turno tuvo una pelea de gritos con los quejosos de la máscara y luego procedió a quejarse con quien sea (presumiblemente miembro del personal) durante los siguientes 10 minutos sobre cómo estaba siguiendo las reglas. ¡Sin consideración a los clientes que solo querían un poco de tranquilidad mientras comían!Al ir al baño, tienes que llevar contigo un poco de cartulina plastificada para que sepan que hay alguien dentro si falta la carta en la mesa. Luego, vuelve a colocar la tarjeta en la mesa cuando sale del baño. Honestamente, no puedo pensar en nada más antihigiénico, la cantidad de personas que lo han tocado justo antes y después de ir al baño. (¡Todos sabemos que las personas no se lavan las manos en el mejor de los casos!)

Just popped In for lunch staff very attentive very prestigious about cleaning and sanitising. Good system going no one allowed in without face covering. As it should be. Food good as always. Thank you.

un pequeño y fabuloso lugar donde llevo a mis hijos por la mañana para un rollo de tocino y mi café, el personal es muy amable en la parrilla del motor y en la estación de servicio que se usa de manera intermitente durante los últimos años y siempre esperamos con ansias el Al día siguiente para llegar son el desayuno, recomendaría encarecidamente este lugar. ?

great place, good old fashioned cafe, nothing fancy good food I've been in many time over the last 15 years and it never fails to fill you up

Partiendo de Inverness a Edimburgo, es hora de una parada de combustible y comida. Encontramos este lindo y pequeño lugar después de salir de la autopista ... lo cual es perfecto.Pedimos el desayuno completo con café. Wow ... un gran alimento. La comida estaba muy bien preparada y era súper barata ... justo por debajo de la factura total de 20 alimentos. Perfecto. Esto nos mantendrá llenos por el resto del día.Tómese el tiempo para detenerse aquí para una buena alimentación.

Always worth stopping here for fast service and hearty food at a reasonable price. If you’re on a long trip, it’s easy to park up, get a nice mug of tea and some nice soup or a burger.

Nos alojamos una noche que estaba bien. En la mañana fui a la parrilla a las 8 am para ducharme. Soy una mujer y la ducha está en los caballeros, no hay problema. El problema era que el miembro femenino del personal probó unos 60 mechones de pelo. Su actitud fue impactante, me habló como si fuera basura. He gastado una buena cantidad de dinero en efectivo en esta parrilla y no volveré a entrar. Cliente perdido! !¡EL PROPIETARIO HAGA UNA MIRADA A SU PERSONAL! !

Poor quality food, poorly sourced. Staff who stand and monitor diners akin to a school dinner.The menus lack any flexibility and a reluctance to change. Any change is £1, and one cannot make dish exclusively from the extras menu. This I found hilarious. This is elsewhere called 'customer service'.I can only assume that those giving 4/5 star rating have equally low expectations. Eat somewhere else and there is an outstanding alternative establishment that's also dog friendly not 500m away.

I had the breakfast fry and it was good. Service was quick and staff was friendly. This place does what it says on the tin.

Stopped for lunch on route to Aviemore, I had the full all day breakfast, starting as I meant to go for the week. The others had soup of the day or a filled roll.All enjoyed the food which came in large size servings. A very busy place as we found out on our return journey and had to wait for a table. Just coffee and cake on the return,Very friendly staff.Good value.

Ballinluig Grill is conveniently situated on the A9, north of Perth. It has been there forever, and hasn’t changed very much over the years. That is part of its charm. If you’re looking for fine dining, this is most definitely not the place for you. If you want good, unpretentious, freshly cooked food, at a reasonable price, you won’t go far wrong. Staff are all incredibly friendly. Food is cooked to order. Free coffee and tea refills. Cooked breakfast is the best I’ve ever had. It has a winning formula, that works for a reason. Reminiscent of a truck stop/ American diner. Love it!

Stopped here for a coffee break wile on the A9. Discovered it is a proper old school transport cafe with excellent staff front of house. My wife and I felt really welcome and her wheelchair was accommodated easily. Brilliant place. Lovely atmosphere.

Hard to believe that anywhere, in this day and age, doesn't adequately cater for vegetarians/vegans but this place... wow. A veggie burger. That's it. Literally, that's it. Asked the staff and got told no, we don't do vegetarian stuff. Wow.

Fantastic hot food. Clean cutlery. (Amazing how often dirty cutlery is put out) Friendly staff. Good parking

We stopped off the A9 for a late family dinner. There was a separate children’s menu and an extensive brunch/cafe focused main menu. We had some omelettes, egg and sausage, roast chicken and a veggie burger. All of it came with chips which were ok as chips go, and various veg. It was all priced reasonably and the portions were generous. We were in a rush so didn’t stay for the children’s ice cream (from the kids’ menu), but bought some from the freezer. I would go back.

We have always stopped here, too many years back to remember, on the road north and sometimes on the return journey too. We stopped on Monday heading south and had to wait on a table, but no probs you dont wait long. We were sitting and ordered in 5 mins from a very cheery waitress...food came quickly & was delicious as always. I nipped to ladies while my other half paid bill and was shocked as a young waitress who was in the ladies at the same time left WITHOUT washing her hands. When I exited toilets she was delivering food to tables.

This has been a favourite for years and is still consistently good. Friendly efficient staff even at their busiest times. Food is freshly cooked but there’s never a long wait and there’s a good choice on the menu plus one or two daily specials. One of the best places to stop on the A9 if you don’t want anything fancy, just good honest food t sensible prices. Seating both inside and out.

This is a real proper old fashioned diner. Excellent menu, prices and service. Great for travelling families or anyone for that matter. Awesome selection on the menu, good food portions. Very busy place. Wished we had places like this in New Zealand!

Went in for breakfast. Very busy but didn't wait any time at all. Service very good with all the staff being very friendly. Breakfast reasonably priced as well. Worth a visit.

We have been stopping here for the last 24 years on and off, from taking the kids to tournaments and now just the two of us making it our own tradition. One and a half hours from Inverness on our way down to the Hillfoots. The ideal place to stop and have a snack. My favourites are a black pudding role and sometimes an egg role with one or two sausages on the side, washeddown with a strong coffee. Always busy, but a good service,

We always stop here whilst travelling up & down the A9 and the food is always really good and the staff always helpful and cheery

No es necesario hacer cola para comer en este pequeño y gran café: se ofrece servicio de mesa. Las opciones para el desayuno y bocadillos / almuerzos son buenas. Grandes tazas de café, se suministran con recambios de cortesía. Rollos frescos se traen a diario. Los precios son competitivos, y un servicio rápido si tienes que saltar. Guarnición en la torta, el personal es excelente. Muy recomendable.

Stopped here twice on my way to camping with friends at the beautiful Loch Rannoch. The first time was for coffee which was very nice, the guy who serviced me was lovely.

We stopped off for breakfast and wasnt disappointed, it was a lovely morning so it was lovely that we could sit outside. Great selection and very prompt service

Being going here since I was kid, whether your looking for a quick well priced lazy friday night meal or stopping off on a long journey well worth a visit! :)

Stopped here after driving from Kent. Place reeked of greasy cooking smells - no ventilation? No healthy options not even poached eggs! Everything fried. We won’t stop there again!

Pulled off the main road to avoid traffic jam and ended up in Ballinluig. Love the food here and coffee refills always a bonus. Staff friendly and helpful. Portions huge didn’t need dinner recommend the home made chicken pie.

So good - proper greasy diner food. Everyone satisfied, free refills on coffee is also a plus for long drives! Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere :)

Straightforward , well staffed decent cafe, lots of choice , and reasonably priced , had a nice meal , had earlier looked round Pitlochry but couldn't get parked, here I could fill up and get something to eat

First Class Top Quality Humble Good Food Cooked to Order, A Friendly Family Run Business Friendly Nice Staff !! Very Easy to get to & from The A9 North or South on & off either direction !! My Mrs, Our Two Boys & I have stopped off for a bite to eat weather it be breakfast, lunch or early dinner Many Many Times over 12 years now & We always Look Forward & Enjoy Our Visit as Your made to feel Very Welcome, it is a Truck Stop Diner but Everyone is Welcome & there is No Class Distinction What So Ever !! Everyone is Treated The Same Way :) Nice & Welcoming it's just Nice to stop & get out of Your Vehicle to rest & eat .....

Basic and simple food, but done as well as can be done. I would always stop here over any other roadside cafe on the A9, a local institution.

The food was amazing, best i had on my entire trip. Cant express enough how much i loved it. The proportions were really nicely sized aswell, alot of dining places either give way to much food or not enough.

Stopped off for breakfast on a long journey north. I was welcomed by very friendly staff who were quick to serve. The breakfast was delicious. Thank you.

Entramos el miércoles 17 para la cena. Gran fiesta de nosotros 15 para ser exactos. Los platos están llenos, recién cocinado, servicio agradable y rápido. La comida es encantadora, el personal es amable, las instalaciones están limpias, a un precio muy razonable. Definitivamente volvería para cuando vuelva a estar en el área.

El Missus y yo llamamos para el desayuno, un desayuno de 6 artículos es 7 más 1. 30 para una taza muy pequeña de té con recargo de cortesía que debe solicitar, no se ofrece por los camareros. El desayuno es excelente, pero la próxima vez que conduzca hacia el sur por la A 9, conduciré otras 23 millas hasta The Harvester, que está justo al lado de la rotonda Broxden en Perth. Hemos estado allí anteriormente y comimos un desayuno de 10 artículos más la cantidad de bollos, frutas, jugos de frutas y gachas, además de té o café y tostadas, solo ayúdense. El precio para 2 personas fue de 9. 98. Eso fue hace unos 9 meses, por lo que los precios pueden haber subido un poco, pero vale la pena recorrer unos cuantos kilómetros adicionales para prepararse para el día. Buen provecho.

Thank you to the Ballinluig services for providing quick and plentiful sustenance to two very tired travellers. It was almost closing time but without quibble they gave us friendly welcomes and fresh cooked food.

On route north for a golfing weekend the lads needed fueling for the golf and beers ahead. It was suggested we stop for a big breakfast at Ballinluig and we weren’t disappointed. Top notch food in a great roadside restaurant. Well priced in great surroundings.

This motorgrill offers fantastic value for money with a typical scottish selection of pies, breakfasts, main meals and bakes. We stop here whenever we travel north, breaking up a 4 hour journey halfway with a stop that we all enjoy. The kids selection suit my kids down to the ground, finished off with an ice cream from the freezer.

We stopped here for a quick breakfast on our way to Perth. Food is good for the value. Staff were friendly and prompt.

We stopped for lunch burgers were still pink in the middle so were sausages Did not like the 6 staff members standing talking and looking at us while we ate it was very off putting . The soup was nice and tasty

Found this place on our way from Cromarty to Malton. Four very weary travellers, meals ordered were 1 small haddock and garden peas, 1 roast chicken, chips, salad and coleslaw, 2 full breakfast, 3 teas and 1 coffee. Okay tea and coffee served in mugs, but you get complementary refills. Tea was lovely, my husband said his coffee was good too. Food order was served very quickly and efficiently, and it was very good. This place is a real gem, £34 for four meals with drinks was extremely good value. You’d be hard pushed to get better. Highly recommend this place.

Had heard good things about the grill but had never had the chance to pop in but had the opportunity today. Sadly must of been one of there off days. The staff couldn’t raise a smile on greeting us and showing us to the table. After we ordered and the tea arrived at our table with a thump down no smile or thank you. Then the food full English came the egg was fried to within a inch of its life the sausages had skins wouldn’t let your knife cut into. The rest was all fine

Infamous to all who use the A9 on a regular basis – the Ballinluig Motor Grill serves a great bacon, fried egg or sausage roll. Other items are on the menu – but stick to the basics and you won’t be disappointed! Parking can be a bit tight and sometimes you may have to queue .. but believe me it will be worth it. Prices are incredibly reasonable – and you will probably be able to catch up with your friends and neighbours at the same time – who have also made the right decision to stop here!! Beware of other local imitations – the Ballinluig Motor Grill is THE one to visit!

Simple, but tasty food in generous portions with excellent service. Considerably passed our expectations.

Great place to stop for food and refreshments. The service is quick, the quality of food is great for the price I.e. good value. The staff are very helpful

A well run well organised roadside cafe which offers good food choice at reasonable prices for a traditional British greasy spoon cafe

We where stopping a B&B; next door so decided to eat here , I had cheese burger and chips first night my wife had small fish and chips , on return we popped in for a sausage bun with locally saused butchers sausages very nice .

£3 for the chips in the picture. Absolutely horrible food in my opinion though other food may be ok. I’ll be sure to update if I decide to go there again. Staff were nice enough though

stopped for a late breakfast on our journey North ,tasty rolls with bacon and sausages.Called again as we returned South.Our daughter had chicken nuggets and chips,I had a scotch pie and my husband a roll and sausages.Other people were tucking into generous portions of macaroni cheese,salads,full breakfasts,and looked as if they were enjoying it .Good varied menu ,generous portions ,all prepared on the premises ,and good prices.My husband says we are eating there again

We had originally went to the red brolly next door but were told all the empty seats in the restaurant and cafe were booked but we could try next door, so we did! Its a nice big eating area with table service, after a short wait our order was taken, 2 bacon rolls and coffee. The food was good and the drinks hot. Although a couple of people who came in after us got served first, the servers were polite and well presented when they took our order. The toilets were clean.

Nothing fancy. Just good and fast home cooking. Try the daily specials. Mince and tatties are a sinker!!

Top place for a breakfast.. bacon roll egg rolls ect Nothing fancy rapid food delivered within minutes good service and a free top of tea ..

Stopped off with my wife on trip south. Food excellent and staff very friendly. Would have been 5 star but for the tight parking outside. Reading some of the bad reviews, I don't recognise it as being the same place... Recommended!

Stopped in for breakfast with group of friends on way to mountains. (And on way back from hills too for sit down fish and chips). Dependable stop for good honest refreshments for as long as I can remember. Free tea or coffee refills!

Found this place today by chance. Ordered sausage, chips & peas. Sadly processed peas but the food was excellent overall and good and hot. Will be calling there for breakfast on my return trip in 2 days time. A bit concerned about the charge to amend a breakfast but we will see what happens.....

Stopped off for a bacon roll with the family this morning and was very impressed with the generous quantity of bacon in the rolls (kids thought it was great too) Also free coffee refills - really set us up for our journey North! Highly recommend this place for a quick brekkie stop

We stopped here on the way up to the Highlands from Glasgow and were extremely disappointed with the menu and food. We ordered the full breakfast and asked for some mushrooms instead of a sausage, and were rudely told we can’t do that - we have to pay full price plus add mushrooms as an extra. We felt this is completely unreasonable! The food was greasy, poor quality and the fried bread was SOGGY, dripping in oil. The staff were rude, the food was over priced, and I would definitely not recommend stopping here - poor standards and there attitude to customer service is disgusting!

Used to love this place for breakfast, but they now charge you extra if you want to change something on their main breakfast menu ie if you want tomato instead of beans! I don’t know how they can justify this, they’ve just increased their menu prices, and although I admit the food is good and service fast, as a matter of principle I refuse to pay extra to change the breakfast menu!

Stopped here on way north recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were pleasant on arrival and service good. Their homemade soup was excellent ( mushroom) as was both their omelette and BLT. Good wholesome food at a reasonable price.

Stopped here on way to Glasgow from Aviemore for breakfast. Seated quickly and opted for a breakfast and breakfast roll. Food came quick and decent quality. Nothing fancy just what we needed.

It was just really bad. I did not eat much of it. It's such low quality. It has a good reputation but we will never go hear again. Poor portions and poor price. Poor descriptions and definitions of what a breakfast or salad actually is.

We headed to Dundee from inverness and thought this would be the perfect place to stop, stretch the legs and get a bite to eat. How wrong were we. Yes it is very reasonably priced but, ooft, it's cheap for a reason. Deep fried sausages and microwaved everything else, the food was inedible, I will not be back.

Pretty basic food and not the cheapest! Plenty of pleasant staff To serve. Free tea and coffee refills

Conveniently located just off the southbound side of the A9. A bit greasy spoon but food was freshly cooked and served promptly and the waiter kindly substituted bread and and butter for the fried bread of my full Scottish. Beware if you have a big car - car parking is tight and was a bit congested when I was there.

Black pudding is like eating a full tub of butter, pure diabtetes. Only criticism is the toad living in one of the urinals that appears to be breeding with the staff. Otherwise incredible

I frequently travel the A9 & this is always the breakfast stop we use. Facilities are clean, staff are friendly, food is good and you can pick up a wee charity quiz for the road ahead

Gegeten op doorreis van Edinburgh naar Inverness. Koffie en eten waren prima. Was geen luxe restaurant, leek een beetje op een restaurant in Amerikaanse films waarbij de serveersters met kannen koffie lopen en je mok ‘refillen’

We had this restaurant recommended to us and we would certainly use it again. Ideally situated just off the A9 south of Pitlochry. The menu is typical of this type of establishment but the food is freshly made to order. Good wholesome meals accompanied by friendly and efficient service.

A cafe with petrol station next door, not a complex, and a pleasant change from the standard issue soulless and overpriced service station in that it's independent, reasonably priced and well run.

went in on monday 27th nov only because other cafe we liked was closed, been here lots of times because didn't know about other place, anyway this place has had its way for a long time probably because word of mouth over the years, you go in and wait to be seated while folk stare at you, when seated waiter or waitress can be surly as if they don't really want you there, no chit chat, no smile, i mean really whats the big deal to smile at your customers, left feeling we were annoying the staff! word to owner just because you have been here for years, wake up and smell your own coffee not too far away there is competition and i for one will be passing on the details on where to go

Repeat visit, convenient stop on the A9 for years. Frequented by locals, truckers and motorists alike. Good service with no Scottish-shortbread-tin-nonsense like it’s more famous expensive neighbour further up the road. Horses for courses. It’s honest food for hungry travellers. Table service with a good variety of food including soup, roasts, hot rolls and breakfasts.

Excellent food served quickly. Free parking outside. Scenic views too. Friendly staff, and just off the road, so not a...

Lovely homemade soup and sandwiches great choice of food at great prices all freshly made to order wide varity of foods for differant likings well work a wee stop for something to eat on the way up or down the A9 Road

The food is very nice and is sourced locally as much as possible. We love the breakfasts. The serving staff are very friendly and helpful.

Have been several times, always on the way home from Aviemore to Surrey. It's about an hour or so from Aviemore and perfect for a breakfast pitstop. It's a real greasy sppon type affair but good nonetheless. Nice food and reaosnably priced. Plenty of parking and lots of seating available. Recommended.

went in for a coffee and decided to have the tomato and veg broth delicious home made soup.Staff were all very friendly and helpfull.the restraunt was very busy but they cleared a table as soon as someone left and seated us right away.Great menu and great prices will definately stop by again

I say lost because i think it has lost its way, upon entering { after loo visit} { more on that later} i was told to stand and wait to be given a table { the place was EMPTY} mm, i was ushered to a table, Now here is the rub, i realize it was 7;30 in evening and it closes at 8;30, and no doubt the good staff had cleaned up and were ready to make a bolt for home as soon as 8;31 arrived. So i looked at prices, mm , so i opted for a steak baguette, at £5.50, i was asked for drinks but with limited budget i declined{ didn't go down well }, so i sat pondered, meal arrived, now i say baguette , some may say small roll, with side of coleslaw, mm, ah well at £5.50 i should have made my own and brought it with me, having driven through rain, past accidents, police and all that the a9 gives you i had hoped for better. Listen i am no snob and i realize its mainly a truck stop, lashings of coffee and a bacon roll. AND suffice to say the a9 is not overloaded with stop offs for food, especially on an autumnal evening, i do not think House of Bruar would be chuffed if 10 trucks pulled up and drivers all piled in for bacon butties, mm we should try it. I felt sorry for the guy that arrived at 8;15, oh lord , how dare he, DO NOT SIT THEIR, OH to late, i did not enjoy my experience albeit that i needed a break, and loo stop, ah the loo, mm well lets see, the loo would not have looked out of place if it was slap bang in the middle of T in the park on the Sunday afternoon. lets just say the loo,s needed attention, now the sign said it was checked at 09;40 AM, now some 12 hours later i think a bus trip had been through it, next time i will stop in the lay by. So having paid my £5.50 for my roll and side, i soldiered on to Glasgow, albeit with an upset stomach, which returned later, if you get the drift, so on my route passed on way home i was glad it was shut, it is just not a shining example of Scotland's finest road side eateries , Yes if you want to grab a coffee and go { well not go the loo } so lets say room for improvement,

On the way up the A9, this is a must stop for more reasons than one. Food is very reasonably priced, food very well cooked, ample parking too. And also you can have your tea/coffees topped up to which is very good, we are returning customers and recommend stopping here, even heading south.

Popped in for dinner before a visit to the enchanted forest. Good size portion, food cooked too order couldn't fault it. It's a typical truckers stop but it was warm and clean. Staff could have been a bit more friendly but would stop again

We visited here on a Saturday night. We were told to just take a seat anywhere, we had seven of us wanting to eat but the staff were not prepared to assist in getting a table for this amount, this resulted in us sitting at 2 different tables. The staff stand and stare at you while you are eating, the food is good if you like fresh from the freezer, but overall well cooked. The amount of coleslaw you got was like having coleslaw with chicken fillets instead of the other way round. The food didnt take long to arrive but once we finished, staff took 20 minutes to clear our plates before offering pudding. This is after they are constantly standing watching and following each other around. When paying, the women questioned me, without a smile, a few times if i was paying for it all, which i was as that was the table i had asked to pay for.

This privately owned, traditional truck stop cafe has been going for years and has an enviable reputation for serving no nonsense food. Clean with efficient staff, I'm lucky to live nearby and have been known to have double egg and chips for breakfast.........

Called in here on way home from Tain (nth of Inverness) - tried to find somewhere in Pitlochry, sorry, couldn't even find a parking space let alone food in Pitlochry!Loads of parking, good food, reasonably priced, good service - an absolute gem to find. Will happily recommend the scones - they're homemade too!

Been here many times and as it is open early you have little choice. It always performs well, I had a full breakfast with tea. Tea was poor, a bit old and none to hot. Obviously keep a large pot of tea on the go - bad practice. Meal was up to their usual high standards and arrived quickly.
