Excellent early morning option right beside the Stagecoach station. We ordered a six-item set and an omelette. Both were excellent - delicious, very reasonable price. Place clean and spacious. An excellent option for breakfast before onward travel.

Went here purposely for their mid year Christmas dinner……wish I’d held out to have my own in December. Food wasn’t hot but luke warm, vegetables were overcooked so Brussels mushy and carrots as bad. The mashed tatties were not seasoned and lumpy. Turkey dry. Staff looked miserable.

Charlie's Cafe All Day Breakfast Two slices of Bacon 1 Sausage 1 Fried Egg ( requested added Scrambled eggs ) 2 Hash Browns Potato Bread Beans 1 Fried Tomato 1 Cappuccino The bacon was smoked I Personally prefer my bacon unsmoked but that's personal preference The sausage was just okay not the best The fried egg was just okay nothing special The Scrambled Eggs tasted microwaved and were not the best The Hash browns were alright again not fantastic The potato bread was hard The beans were beans you basically can't go wrong with beans lol The Fried Tomato was Lovely and was so nice The Cappuccino was such a nice coffee and was so so nice I Loved it The Harry Gows Dream ring was Amazing as always and gets a 5 stars as per because I love them so much However against the Radisson Blu Hotel Breakfast in Glasgow This was miles better.

The food was out of this world, macaroni and cheese,served with a small salad and beautiful chips and delicious home made bread and butter pudding. All the food was served piping hot,well done. Do not hesitate to visit this cafe, right in the town centre by the bus station.service was very quick as well.

Super location in the main bus stand and round the corner from the railway station. Fresh hot food and snacks. A great all day breakfast which will be at least 5 to 7 £ cheaper than your hotel. All the hotels around charge so much more for do less. Go to Charlie’s instead. Free WiFi too. Great owner. Just yesterday in front of me - an old lady walked in and was trying to use a food stamp/ discount coupon that wasn’t valid. But the owner took it and clicked in the discount ❤️ Lots of candy/ juices etc thanks but before your bus trip as well.

Have seen this cafe many times but never used it. Was waiting for a train - railway station 2 mins. walk away - and nowhere else open at 0715 so tried this. Surprisingly busy and I think others waiting for the Inverness - London King's Cross train had had the same idea. Staff very friendly, varied menu and prices very fair. Food freshly cooked and good. Couldn't fault it.

Had a gorgeous cup of tea and a beautiful coffee & walnut cake for £3.50 total. Menu is very varied and so reasonably priced, not ripping their customers off 🙂 Highly recommend Charlie’s Cafe to anyone in transit at Inverness Bus Station.

Martin got this place from his Grandfather "Charlie" who opened it in the 50's.The pictures are on the wall of the original, it has been rebuilt. This is the place to eat or buy snacks and such before your tour, or if you arrive here by bus. We had porridge (oatmeal) bacon and hot drinks the first morning. Everything was great. Like most little diners all the cooking is done in front of you, so you know what your getting. The staff is super welcoming , and it gets busy at times, so be patient. Full breakfast is a bit large, so my wife and I always share. Prices are fair, place is clean. and the late 60's-70's motorbikes are a real flashback.

Me and my partner decided to go in for something to eat after a long day of shopping, it was the bikes on the wall that caught my partners attention, I stood outside with my wee dog while my partner went in to see if dogs were aloud, so he went up to the counter to ask, and the lady walked right passed him with her hand up to his face and said I'm busy! I'm a waitress myself and I would never ever dream of doing that to any of my customers! Eventually she got to my partner and she said yes dogs are aloud, so we ordered and took a seat, I ordered a panini and my partner ordered a steak roll, which was meant to come with mushrooms and onions, it was a roll with a rubber bit of steak on it, nothing else, my panini was absolutely vile! It was freezing! The cheese was rubber and the bacon looked under cooked! I had one bite and left it, the lady that was going about cleaning tables kept scowling at us! I'm not one for making a sene so we left! I can't get over the attitude of the staff, absolutely shocking!

Charlie's is a basic canteen style cafe, handily located next to the bus station and is ideal for killing a few minutes whilst waiting for a bus.The service is efficient and not unfriendly. Tables are kept clean, though you may find yourself sharing as there aren't many small tables.I had a bacon roll there today which was nice, tasty bacon and a good soft roll. Had a black coffee too which unfortunately wasn't great (it's filter coffee not ground). There was a good range of meals available, not that i can comment on themWorth baring in mind its cash only. Charlie's isn't a destination for a meal, but it's perfectly fine if you're looking for a quick snack or to kill time.

This long-established Italian restaurant is ideally situated at the edge of the main bus and coach station in Inverness. Very convenient for travellers.On this occasion, however, the service was extremely slow; I'd been travelling for eight hours and just had twenty minutes beween buses, but in spite of telling the staff when I eventually got served, they didn't seem to have any sense of urgency.Price -- probably OK for the quantity provided.Quality -- the fish was good, but fairly small. The chips were average. It was a pity, however, that the food was very politically-correct and supplied with only a tiny sachet of salt. Absence of enough salt rather spoiled things. A little more effort and the offer of more salt would have improved things considerably. Easy faults to remedy.

The gentleman who took our order was very friendly and efficient. The elderly waitress who served our breakfasts was less so.The food was average but perfectly adequate with big portions. Not the fanciest breakfast I have ever had but it set us up perfectly for our bus trip to Edinburgh.

Less than an hour between buses meant I needed a quick lunch. Home style meals await at this small diner. Food is traditional and cooked fresh. I had the macaron and cheese and for 2.95 it was a plentiful and tasty lunch.

I had a baked Tattie with cheese. Tattie was hot on outside but stone cold in the middle. Cheese was rubbery and placed on side of plate and so had not melted at all. Wouldn't eat there again.

We thought this would be a good place to eat having just arrived by bus. Wrong. As hungry as I was, I could NOT eat the Macaroni and Cheese dish I ordered. It was incredibly greasy and the macaroni over cooked. My husband's sandwich was no better. Greasy cheese. Horrible.

We were in today for lunch. I had the all day breakfast, they brought it to the table and said they would bring the toast shortly. The toast never arrived at all. My lunch companion had the macaroni cheese, it looked disgusting and she claims it was the worst she ever had..

Poor service. I walked in here just before I was going to get on the bus to Aberdeen a few months ago. There wasn't just 1 staff member chatting away to each other but 4.

Always a tasty option of homemade soup which changes daily and great value for money. Service is quick and the cafe is clean and bright. It's open seven days a week so really handy to pick up a bite to eat before getting the bus.

Had to laugh at the previous persons comments about the napkins. The 'Just One' they refer to is actually the makers branding for that particular dispenser. When you pull a napkin from it just one comes out. I happen to know as we have one in our establishment. Think they should go to Specsavers lol!! As for the food and service, I've always found it to be great value for money and the girls are always very pleasant towards me. I have been going to Charlie's for years and I particularly love their macaroni.

Charlies was once very good always my first stop after getting of the bus, always a cheerful welcome with wholesome and reasonably priced food ....but now poor food served by very grumpy people at a high price

Awful food served by rude staff. Tiny portions and everything overpriced. I think this cafe only survives because it's at the bus station and has a "captive" clientele.

The staff are rude, you are not allowed to substitute any items in the all day breakfast and there's a sign on the napkin dispenser to inform you that it's one napkin per person. Very unwelcoming. They only accept cash. The breakfast is mostly cheap fillers like hash browns and beans, no mushrooms or black pudding and no chance to substitute. Bacon was soggy and fried egg was like rubber. I can't remember the last time I encountered such rude and unhelpful staff. Give it a miss.

In spite of the name, this is a long-established Italian café, one of several cafés located in or immediately adjacent to the bus station, a major terminus for long-distance coaches as well as many local bus services.Charlie's Café has stuck to its roots as far as its approach is concerned and is a firm favourite with locals as well as travellers. Good selection of newspapers, too. Just the place to have a quick bite while waiting for your bus. And decent toilets, though naturally they're only for patrons of the café, to the chagrin of those trying to avoid paying for the none-too-great facilities in the bus station booking office.Charlie's does what it sets out to do and does it very well. Measured against the immediate competition, it shows up well.

Charlies is an average café situated at the exit from the Inverness bus terminal. Snacks and hot foods are served throughout the day at average prices.A point of interest are the motorcycles. Two Hondas and two MV Agustas in excellent external condition are sited on a podium above head height inside the café.

Staying at the nearby Dornoch Caravan and Camping site we walked into Dornoch for a meal. We chose The Coach House because it is dog friendly. We received a warm welcome by staff and locals alike along with their dogs. Our haddock and chips arrived promptly and were delicious. However, our Westie started making a fuss. One of the locals and then a member of staff offered to “dog sit” so we could enjoy our meal. Exceptional! Thanks to all involved.

This Country Hotel lacks love and attention. Outside front and sides are very tall weeds, the flower boxes were full of wilted. Car park resembles a quary.. On entering the dining room was well presented albeit I felt it chilly . Only 3 diners and we had to wait to see if we would be accommodated. We were..we sat at our table and the really lovely young server took our order limited menu and 3 choices off that evening.. Food was just OK...not value for money @ £17.95 for haddock and chips. Overall not the greatest.. I'd love to see the outside tidied up and give the hotel some road side appeal

After arriving at skye and looking for places to eat this proved a little difficult as it was out of season and places had limited opening hours. We went for Gabbro bar after seeing it on google maps. The pictures of food looked passable. After getting there having to get our own wipes to clean the table after ordering things weren't looking good, then the toilets were very rundown and like a back street bar toilets. The food then came out in baskets, lined with greaseproof paper. (Something you would expect in a arcade) Fish and chips and the macaroni and chips. Even a plate would have been acceptable even though the fish was clearly out the freezer and very greasy. To top it off a random dog was wandering around trying to smell the food on the table and pushing its way under the table to check for any food.

The fab cinnamon buns elevated our coffee stop from great to awesome! Other really yummy cakes are available. Oh, and the vegan tomato pizza swirl looked great too if you fancy a savoury.

A total shambles. Sunday carvery .couldn't eat any of the meat as mostly fat.Plates so small you can't get much else on the plate.waitress saw me trying to catch her attention and hid .eventually came over sheepish with bill and at that point looked at all the fatty meat on plate and her response was sorry about that .we then never say any staff .They had vanished into kitchen .On our way out there was a lady who had mobility issues annoyed there was no disabled access just a set of very steep stairs .£24 each for 2 courses and only starter choice was soup.Dont waste your time .
