Brig O Don in Aberdeen City

Nice establishment i guess, first time in fir lunch, had steak and ale pie chips and mushy peas!!! Very disappointed with it!! The pie puff pastry was tough as old boots, chips were just as tough and no idea how they managed it but the mushy peas were bland and tasteless. Pie filling was ok but thats as far as it goes.

Waited over a hour for food. Other people were getting their food before myself and my friend.

Het grill vlees was taai en droog. Nachos waren geen echte nachos. Personeel was vriendelijk en plek was lekker rustig.

Table of 2... 50minute wait from finishing starter to main course. Not acceptable. Asked for drinks while waiting, 10min wait to be served these. Still waiting for them to reply from contacting them as per their comment below. So all in all, substandard service all round.

We ate there on Friday after being at the cinema. Staff were welcoming, friendly and professional. Food was served quickly and nicely presented. Prices were reasonable.

We were a three generation party of six (92-9). Staff were considerate and helpful. Food was just what we needed after being at the wind swept beach. Would definitely go back.

Waited for over 10 minutes to be seated, no one in front of us, to be told they were only serving bookings. Place did not even appear to be busy. Disappointing front of house organisation.

We had trouble to find decent and affordable places when in Aberdeen. Brig O’Don was one of them with nothing special about the location, the settings or the menu. Feels a lot like an American chain ... We took the mixed grilled plate (it was huge!) and the grilled salmon. Both were correctly grilled and tasty enough. We finished with the apple crumble and the chocolate sundae. Service was efficient and the pricing correct.

We had a birthday meal here food was good service was excellent the staff are brilliant here well worth a try

The place was empty at 8 pm so didn’t really catch the vibe of what it’s like when folks are there but the staff was top notch. But Food was pricey for how enjoyable it was. I don’t mind paying more for food but it has to pass the taste muster. The mushy peas were good tho. Immaculate clean. This pub more than anywhere in Aberdeen reminded me of suburban American restaurants.

The food, divine, hearty and comforting. The service, absolutely terrific. The team are really great and professional. Great conversation with them too. Love the atmosphere. Always busy and a happy place to be.

Lovely, warm reception. Was seated straight away. Drinks order taken. Wasnt rushed for our food order. Meal came out hot, freshly cooked and delicious. Good value, staff very friendly.

Tried a few drinks Tennents £4.50 Estrella £5.95 Moretti £6.05 Peroni £6.19 Sat in the sun in beer garden never got burnt or did I?

I have been there a few times .and the food has been really good .but this time the fish was not very good. But the service was very good

Just down the road from home, this pub that serves meals was great for lunch today the was a group of us who pre-choose their dish in advance., all well excellent and come out hot. Good service and pleasant staff. My salmon was very much more full of flavour than one I had at a speciality restaurant . Several friends had the mix grill which was very good too.

First time visiting Brig O'Don, very nice restaurant, delicious food and great customer service. Pet friendly too.

Visited the brig O'Don pub and grill this evening. And to be honest, I'm not impressed. On the way into the pub, a message board states, Thursday special. X2 signature steaks and a complementary bottle of wine 🍷 Well, on request of the wine, we were told, can't have it as we didn't request it when placing our order. So, question? If complementary, why did we not get it. And offered at the time of placement of our order. Answer from the waitress. Do you think we're mind readers. If you want it you should ask. So left feeling as if it was all our fault. I approached the bar and asked about our complementary wine. It was plain to see the waitress was not happy Bar manager was happy to give us the wine but only white. Surely, they should know that white wine is not served with steak. It's red wine What the hell is wrong with the service industry White wine, fish, and chicken Red wine steak and red meat After spending £40+ for our evening meal also to add insult to injury the 28 day steak was tough it must have chased many a farmer up a tree 🌳 I'm not impressed at all

Lovely place great staff great food nice place to chill has big tables for family meals very spacious recomended

Just wanted to say had a great main meal there Sunday. Food good and the serving staff made it really pleasant chatting and joking

We were a party of 3 and booked for Sunday lunch but when one of our party ordered the Sunday carvery we were told that it wasn’t available as there was only one chef on duty. We all chose a different dish and waited a reasonable amount of time for the food to come. Our wine came in nice wine glasses but they had obviously just been washed and not dried as they were dripping with water, a basic no no for a bar I would have thought. When our food came it was lukewarm at best let alone hot, the majority of it was inedible but I tried to eat most of my salmon dish. When the server came to clear our plates and asked how our meal was I said ‘not the best’, he pointed to plate as much as to say ‘well you managed to eat most of it’ As I was being treated to my meal I didn’t take it any further but safe to say that we won’t be coming back to this restaurant again.

A very cozy place with very good food. It is not cheap but we already know that quality pays

I had it planned to make a stop on our route through the area, and the truth is that it was worth it. It is a little on the outskirts but if you go with a car they have a fairly large parking lot. The food is very delicious and the dishes are very filling with a very reasonable price. We asked to share some chicken wings, a pulled pork sandwich and some quesadillas. Additionally, the staff was super friendly to us. Highly recommended if you are visiting Aberdeen.

Reunion with work colleagues , lovely lunch.

Large group of us (16) went for a friends birthday dinner this night. The kids (6 of them) were super hyper and their behaviour was less than ideal but our waiter Josh was absolutely fantastic with them - very patient, seriously good interaction with them; laughing and joking the whole time. Kept them amused the whole time. He made what was shaping up as a difficult night REALLY easy and enjoyable!

Excellent restaurant, high quality service and cuisine and very competitive price, I recommend 👍

Nice family pub, nice quiet atmosphere in the mornings, the small play area attached kept the children busy for as long as children keep themselves occupied that is... Good bacon pancakes for the kids, I wasn't hungry myself but will order food next time I am there.

I will not be visiting again as I went in at about 12:30 and was told that there was a staff member off sick I did have 7 people with me but the staff member said that was too much people so I asked could I reduce it to table of 4 and a table off 3 and he said no. It was almost empty then he allowed 4 people of the street in. It was disappointing as I had a couple from Canada with me. Normally do not need to book I was just beginning to be a local there as I recently retired .

Three times we have made our way out for a meal here and have been turned away, twice as the closed the kitchen early , then another as they are short staffed. Very disappointed

Cozy pub, unfortunately the service wasn't that good, the waiting time was longer, even though we ordered via the app. Not enough staff

Regularly took people I support for lunches and dinners here. The staff are great and very welcoming to vulnerable and disabled people. Sadly yesterday was my last "professional" visit and I'd ordered steak which I couldn't finish as my client was becoming anxious so we had to leave. They were very short staffed yesterday but my steak was perfect. I will miss taking people there but will definately go back when I get the opportunity. Thanks again for being so welcoming.

Food was slow to come out, but tasty when it arrived

Tasty food so it makes the portions appear too small. More, please. Fast and friendly service. They were out of vegan options when I visited, so points off for that.

Nice place , good food , staff friendly and polite.

We visited with my elderly father in law who is deaf and Hamish and Leah did am exceptional job of making it a lovely visit for us. They were attentive to our needs and served us so brilliantly. Would definitely come back again.

As a regular attendee of this pub/restaurant I have noticed a clear deterioration in the standard of service in recent months brought about by insufficient staff numbers. On a recent visit I overheard a group complaining they had waited 90 minutes for main courses to be served despite booking a small works outing well in advance and actually pre-ordering their meals! The kitchen closes at 9pm but a sign appeared on the door advising it would close at 8pm. Regular customers arrived at 7.20pm to be told they couldn't order food as there were already too many unfulfilled orders so they left. No chance of drinks being served at table so long wait at bar as only one member of staff working behind bar, booking in customers and supplying restaurant waiting staff with orders. The staff on duty were doing their best but simply not enough of them and this was not a one-off event just a culmination of events over tine. This was, and can be a very welcoming bar but someone has to take a serious look at the efficiency of the place.

Excellent lunch for colleague leaving - really tasty.

Had a first class early supper for 2 with our wee pal Tilly, couldn't fault it, hunters chicken, haddock and chips, bramley apple pie, and strawberry icecream, downed with a el pico sauvignon blanc, service was attentive also, well done.

Quiet pub with good food and excellent customer service. Not the place for a lively atmosphere but perfect for a quiet meal or drink

Has a great place to sit outside, with overhead covering to keep the sun or rain off. Food and drink prices are reasonable plus 15% off food with your AA card benefits, as it is a Greene King venue.

Excellent food, really excellent for the price point, great service and somewhere I will go again.

Hamish was our server. He was so polite and attentive, making sure at just the right times that we were happy with our food and drinks. Great food and excellent service

Server was hamish. He was so polite and attentive. We will definitely be back thanks to him!

Excellent food and really friendly staff - Hamish and Eilidh. Hamish chatted and Eilidh got me extra mushy peas! Great!

Very nice lunch and Emma and eilidh with excellent service good extensive menu and nice ambience will come again for lunch

Decent eatery with free parking and outdoor sitting

This was a great spot to eat after a quick tour of the city. The steak and ale pie was great. I had Belhaven for the first time and it was fantastic.

The food was traditional British pub food while the beer was all keg based which is disappointing in a green king pub. The atmosphere was slightly anonymous in a motorway service station way but overall not a bad place. The staff were attentive

Good pub great service and reasonably priced.

We appreciated the quality of the evening dishes and also the breakfast served the next morning from 9 a.m.

We had a late dinner and drinks here. Very good American style burgers (high praise for Europe, imho). The staff was very friendly, including our servers Enda and Elidh, who really went out of their way to make sure we as visitors to Scotland had a good experience. The restaurant was clean, neat, and well laid out. Recommended!

Holly was our main server 😊 She was friendly, professional, even when things weren't 100% right. She dealt with the issue in a polite timely manner. Checked in on us & made sure everything was okay. As someone who also works in hospitality it is great to see someone so kind, engaged & professional. Absolute asset to your team 😊⭐️

Thank you to Enda for the goujons outside of the lunch menu times and the roast dinner was delicious. Great service and fast waiting time.

Unbelievable for a chain the service, food and atmosphere all 100% , made to feel welcome from the minute you step thru the doors , servers all chatty and accommodating interaction with everyone , well done to the management team and staff alike , ps the level head IPA is spot on , well done Hamish ,Enda , Emma and Leah for brilliant teamwork and banter

Happy Staff Happy Bellies Happy Wife Happy Life What’s not to love

Make sure to make a reservation and place your order for food before arriving.

I visited for a beer. Excellent experience.

Food is always of good quality and decent value in the lunch menu. A favourite for a spot of lunch while working if in the area. Service is usually very good and friendly and the atmosphere is easy to you would expect from a Kingfisher pub/restaurant. A nice place for a spot of lunch.

We love this place. Brilliant staff, brilliant food. Family friendly. Decent prices.

Lovely friendly staff, lovely food and a lovely Atmosphere.......I'm from England but definitely be back next time in August

There was no salmon for us so we chose another option. The waiter (Hamish) was very friendly and helpful.

Food was lovely, waiter Hamish was absolutely incredible and very helpful and accommodating. Definitely will be back!😊

Recently went out for dinner with my partner at this establishment and we were both blown away by the amazing service of Jiri / Nick. They made us feel incredibly welcome and dealt with our order promptly, going out of their way to make sure the food was allergy safe. Food was delicious (highly recommend the bang bang cauliflower) and we'll definitely be back soon!

The best service from Endu and Hamish, we will be back soon. Also good to know the place is dog friendly. Thank you!

Table of 6 attended . Great service and lovely food, waiter (chef, charity challenge I believe) very personable and funny (Jiri) excellent service!!! Great fun. Definitely rerun. Katsu curry is always second to none!!

Lovely place good food....staff verry kindly

One of my favourite places to eat in the city

Very friendly and cheerful staff. Versatile card with attractively priced options.

Great friendly place to dine. Food always good. Staff always helpful and attentive. Special mention for Josh and Weronika for excellent service, despite them being very busy.

Comodo locale con parcheggio. Abbiamo mangiato burger di pollo alla piastra(che servono la piatto senza panino) e bistecca. Entrambi buoni. Per finire dolce alle mele che non ci ha entusiasmato. Prezzi nella media

We had a lovely meal. Great menu and relaxed atmosphere. The food was excellent and although busy and only 2 servers we didn’t have to wait long. Service from Ed was exceptional. He went out of his way to make a perfect dessert for my 3year old grandson and it was much appreciated. We will return soon and advise anyone to give it a try I’m sure they will be as impressed as we were 😊

Friendly service from Josh, from the moment we walked in the door. Definitely recommend it, and reasonably priced. Josh was attentive and chatty and it was clear he cared about his customers.

After a very busy weekend we decided to treat ourselves to a weekday treat. Food was cooked exactly as I asked for and enjoyed every mouthful. Servers Leah & Bradley were very attentive but not intrusive. Thanks

Had a very tasty meal here and the service from Josh was very friendly and plenty of time between courses Will definitely be back for more !!

Served by Hamish & Enda (?) food and drinks were incredible, little slow with service but manager did good

Popped in for an impromptu date night and had a good meal. Two course each and a drink come to just over £40. Only complaint was the chips where a little over cooked but other than that really good

A Friday evening meal for table of 8. Initially a bit of a slow start in having a suitable table but once settled the service by Holly was attentive and prompt. The venue was very quiet for an evening meal at 7pm. Food was chix burgers, gammon and beef steak, all were very happy with the quality of the food, portions were excellent even with younger family at the table. The venue has excellent parking.

Food was delicious. 5 star is for the young gent. The waitress that took over when young guy went for break was disgraceful. Broken English and just RUDE. We were in a rush to leave so couldn't let manager know. I sure will next time.

AMAZING especially if you have a dog. We were offered water and cooked sausages and our dog was given lots of attention. There was a doggy treat station where you can buy a bag of dog treats for a £1 donation to Macmillan Cancer. Food was lovely and service was first class. I would highly recommend

We were there for our daughters birthday on the 7th April was lovely we had pre ordered our food just a little niggle that 2 of us had to wait a wee bit for our meals but in the other hand was really nice our server was Holly she was really helpful

Lovely friendly staff and lovely food. Lovely to see dogs welcome in the pub

Friendly helpful staff Bradley and Josh.. good food reasonably priced 👍.. cozy and warm after a rainy walk, plenty parking if you have the car

Were quick with taking our order and bringing the food out. The staff were lovely and very polite. Would recommend to a friend and will definitely be coming back

Great service from enda and klaudia who were very attentive. We had a Sunday roast which was lovely.

The meal was amazing, i had the katsu chicken curry and the halloumi fries as a starter, Brilliant service from Bradley and Enda😁

A lovely night at the Brig of don. The food was amazing and we received excellent service from Bradley and Enda. Would definitely go back. 😀

We turned up without a booking and got a table for 2. Great service and good pub grub. Place was very family friendly We were served by Enda and Klaudia

Nice lunch, good food and service,

Perfect spot for a cosy dinner with friends 😊 Food is good, the portions could be bigger, my friend's main dish haggis didnt look very big😆 Price of food and drinks are okay. The smiles and good attitude of the server Natalia made it a great experience 😊

service by Nick, Brandon, Josh and Eilidh was amazing! pancakes with fruit and yogurt was 10/10

Great food! Pastrami eggs Benedict was delicious and staff were great! Thank you to Brandon, Josh and Nick! Eilidh was so accommodating <3
