Cook's Bar and Kitchen in Falkirk

La comida era mediocre y los cócteles eran un desastre, no se puso ningún esfuerzo en ellos pegado en un vaso de jugo normal, he visto mejores servidos en una fiesta en casa

Very good meal at reasonable price. Great service - by Anna - very friendly person. Would recommend this restaurant.

Decepcionado ☹️ mi pareja y yo no habíamos salido a comer en mucho tiempo n decidió tener una cita por la noche. Lo dejamos a última hora y conseguimos una mesa aquí. Después de leer las críticas parecía prometedor. Nunca lo habíamos probado pero habíamos oído cosas buenas. Cuando llegamos el ambiente era encantador teníamos una cabina que nos sentó bien, ya que es mucho más íntimo. Pedimos entrantes que eran promedio. Luego ambos comieron filete... en primer lugar estaba muy soso... sin condimento alguno, pedí medio raro y vino bien hecho. Mi pareja quería que estuviera bien hecho, lo que sí vino bien hecho, pero era masticable y de mal gusto, considerando la cantidad de dinero que cuesta un filete para que no esté a la altura es realmente decepcionante. Las patatas fritas eran como patatas fritas de una bolsa de un supermercado y la salsa de pimienta era espesa y grumosa. Estoy segura que la camarera lo sabía porque casi no tocábamos nuestra comida, aunque nunca preguntó cómo era nuestra comida ni dijo que está todo bien! Tampoco estaba ocupado, ¡así que esa no sería la excusa! Normalmente nos sentamos a tomar unas copas y disfrutar de estar fuera, pero no pudimos salir lo suficientemente rápido. La lección aprendida nunca volverá. La única razón por la que he dado 2 estrellas es el hecho de que es un buen lugar pequeño o tendría 1 estrella.

Una comida fantástica que tuve haggis Bon bons muy sabroso seguido de pastel de carne con puré y verduras encantadoras. Tarta de queso para terminar. Gran personal a buen precio también.

Ate here for 4 nights whilst away with work. Staff were lovely and very attentive. Food was good, some dishes better than others, I had the lamb shoulder, beef burger, steak and a sea food linguine. The steak was ok but really overpriced and served on a Wetherspoons style plate, one sorry looking mushroom and tomato served up with it! The Burger was tasty if a little underdone (no issue for me but maybe check people are ok with served pink!) The lamb was amazing. Seafood linguine wasn’t to my taste. Deserts had plenty of choice but only the sticky toffee did it for me, the rest were mediocre and seemed defrosted. Again expensive for what they are. Atmosphere was ok each night, didn’t spend long in there. I wouldn’t say it’s got a lot of charisma about it though! 4/5 all in as the staff where great!

Nice quite place, has great food and good service and overall makes for a great dining experience, also impressed by reasonable lunch menu.

The most disgusting meal we have had in Scotland. The chicken katzu was a piece of chicken about 2 to 3 mm thick covered in about 8 mm of some sort of batter/ crumb, deep fried. There was a sauce on it they called curry, well I would never have served that to a customer!! It was served with some extremely small portion of instant rice and a cheap shop bought piece of nam bread. How they let it leave the kitchen is beyond me!!! We ate it, and paid full price which in itself makes me sick. I am really disgusted that that is what they consider a decent meal to serve to paying guests!!

Staff made us welcome an was very friendly ☺️.

Rude, disinterested female at front of house when we eventually tracked her down yapping in the kitchen. Rude and dismissive taking our booking and even worse in person, September 29th 2024. We got up and left after the drinks order to give her another chance, which she failed with flying colours.

We came here when we discovered our hotel wasn't doing food . Would definitely recommend. I had blade of beef which was very tender and delicious. My husband had Highland burger which he enjoyed. Definitely recommend.

Had a nice lunch here on the way back from the Kelpies. A really nice prawn cocktail and salad.

Esto está cerca del hotel al que llegamos exhaustos después de volar. . tiene que ser las peores comidas que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo. Personal agradable

Went for lunch/dinner after visiting the Kelpies. I had a starter and a main and both were excellent, and the service was also very efficient. The starters were all pretty pricey, and the mains were on the higher end of what I would have expected to pay, but given how good both were and with good portions size I do feel it was reasonable value.

Reservamos una mesa en el bar y la cocina de los cocineros para pasar un tiempo de calidad con la familia, fuimos recibidos por Abbie y mostrados a la mesa, pedimos comida y bebidas servidas por la encantadora Abbie nada era demasiado molesto para ella considerando que estaba extremadamente ocupado Abbie siempre tenía una sonrisa , la comida era encantadora y pegajoso pudín de toffee era Devine . volveremos pronto recomendaría encarecidamente cocineros bar y cocina

Vine para una comida de última hora con la familia Menú encantador, porciones fantásticas y calidad de la comida, a un precio razonable Recomendaría encarecidamente

We attended this restaurant due to staying at the hotel for a wedding. There were 13 of us booked in in advance. The service was shockingly slow (over 1 hour from ordering until we received our starters). The food we all agreed was average of taste and presentation. The staff only came to us twice during the whole 2.5 hours we were there to take drink orders. A few went up to the bar to request drinks to be met with “we will come over” which was not received. After our starters it was another 20 minutes until our main meal. They took a while to remove empty plates after finishing as well. Two of us went to find the complaints procedure to discover there was not one - we simply had to discuss this with a waitress. We acknowledged this was not directly the waitresses or chefs fault but more the lack of extras to work when it was a busy night. Sadly we were disappointed and all 13 of us will not be returning to this restaurant due to the length of time it took to serve. I asked for a resolution to this and was met with nothing so requested at least a discount off our £300+ bill which we thankfully got. Sadly would not recommend booking here if you are staying in the hotel with al large group. A real shame as it looked a lovely place.

Visited with friend. Place was quite busy but they managed to squeeze us in. Service was excellent and very friendly. Food was delicious and a lot of it. Definitely will recommend and be back.

Terrible customer service. Front desk was not helpful at all. We went to the restaurant for a drink and snack but waitress told us to go to the bar if we only want a drink. We went to the bar and waited there 10 minutes untill someone took order for our drinks which then been served in dusty glasses.

Awesome food great service highly recommended

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Excellent customer service and great lunch too.

Nice food. Great service. They even did a take away for me which they don't normally do.

Although not overly busy the food did take some time to come. However it was fresh and tasty. Service was great. Very attentive.

One of the worst experiences I have ever had in a restaurant . the food was barely edible. the hygiene was the worst I have ever seen in a food establishment . The staff were unwilling to listen to what I had to say. And it's the worst amount of money I have spent in any restaurant ever

On walking in to the rest the impression you get is it's going to be good, and as we sat down we had high hopes, but on being seated another table had a glasses broken on it which caused the glass to scatter on to the floor, it took the staff 20 mins to even start cleaning it up, and using a floor brush to sweep up the glass from the table made us think have we made the right choice to eat here. We had our starter which was nice. And then our mains came and my husband feathered beef was full off grissel and didn't look very appealing and my own nachos were very bland and I have had better ones made at home. I definitely would not return or recommend this place. When my husband spoke to the server's he was accused of being rude when he pointed out how unhygienic the cleaning up was and they weren't very happy about the comments or feed back. Will definitely avoid in future.

We have visited this restaurant on many occasions without any issues. Unfortunately after today’s visit, I’d be thinking twice before returning. The venue is a good size with a nice setting and good ambiance. The food can be on the pricey side, but has a wide selection and is usually great. This time however, my wife opted for the macaroni & cheese, whereas I had the fajitas. Around 30 minutes later the food finally arrived and I could see the look of disappointment on my wife’s face immediately, as it didn’t look at all appetising. As it turned out, the food was bland and tasteless. No seasoning whatsoever. I had 2 large tortilla wraps, but the amount of vegetables provided, wouldn’t even fill one, and not a lot of variety. Such a let down. The saving grace of the meal was our server Anna. She was absolutely superb.. Went the extra mile to try and rectify the problems.

we went for my husbands 60th birthday meal 5 adults and 2 children. We found the place bright and cheery lovely atmosphere. Staff go out their way for you. We were happy the kids menu wasnt normal chicken nuggets etc and proper meals. My grandsons had fish and chicken both enjoyed the meals and ate them no problem. especially the fish. Even catered for grandsons allergies . The adults enjoyed both their starters and main meals every thing was delicious and prepared how we asked it to be. Will be returning again to try something different as all the food coming out the kitchen looked and smelt amazing.

Very tasty burger and chicken caesar salad 👍

The steak pie was excellent, the burger was mediocre.

The food was perfectly fine, not very inspired but I did just pick a burger so maybe my fault. Service was in 2 parts. The first waitress was smiley and present unfortunately we didn't see much of her. The second was really grumpy, forced, and mostly trying not to make eye contact. Guests were left waiting to be seated for so long, I had second hand embarrassment.

Food was amazing from Entree to Dessert. Great sized portions. Very well priced. The staff were friendly and the meals were brought out promptly. The atmosphere was very cosy. Highly recommend.

Food was simply amazing from Entree to Dessert. Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

We booked a table online being a Saturday night and was glad we had since it was very busy. We were seated at a window table by one of the very friendly waitresses. There was a very wide and varied menu choice with something to suit every taste along with a specials board. My husband had the haggis bon bons to start and I had the black pudding and brie which I have to say was one of the nicest starters I have tasted in a long time. We both had the blade of beef with peppercorn sauce for main and we finished off with a sticky toffee pudding and a panna cotta. All dishes were delicious and well presented and the staff were so friendly and efficient also. We had a lovely meal and would certainly recommend a visit if in the area. 10 out of 10!

Went for a catch up with a friend. The place was quiet at the time we were there so we were able to get a table without booking ahead. Food was lovely and a good choice

Staying tonight in the adjoining hotel and decided to try this restaurant. Very little custom and therefore, atmosphere. That may have been because it was a Sunday evening and the Scottish football team were playing in the Euros. Having looked back at the previous comments, I would wholeheartedly agree with the size of the prawns in the prawn cocktail. For £10 these should have been considerably larger, not the small cooking prawns offered. On to the main course, ok with burger etc. However, the placing of gherkins on the prawn cocktail and also on the burger reminds one of a local fast food franchise and a previous incident in USA. I would suggest removing from the menu. Back to the reviews, the over indulgent use of copy and pasting of responses makes a patron think that management don't care.

Had a family meal for 8 adults with 1 baby in a high chair for fathers day. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

Dined on a Wednesday evening and was well pleased. Meat in steak pie was really tender, a little bit more pastry would have been appreciated. Peaceful ambience, nice staff. Will return for sure.

Food was really nice and service was pretty good, friendly staff, but the place was empty and we still waited quite a while for desserts. I will definitely come back though, worth a visit for sure.

Top food at reasonable prices. Friendly service.

Served by Anna she was helpful And great service she recommended trying the apple crumble and custard and it was delicious highly recommend this restaurant And this restaurant is very child friendly

Ambiente acolhedor. Lilla nos atendeu com muita atenção. Torta de carne muito saborosa, e sirloin também. Perfeito, vale muito à pena. Estacionamento no local

Went on a recommendation, superb food

Very tasty food, nice and fast service

Lovely wee restaurant. Food was good and service was great- attentive but not annoying! Didn't feel rushed and had a very pleasant evening. Have been several times for lunch but this was the first time for dinner will definitely be back!

Really enjoy our meal, our Sunday roast was very tasty and the service was great. Definitely recommend

It was alright, tbf. I think they are trying to go upper class from a public house. Food was nice. Meal for 2 and drinks £65. Pet friendly...

It was very tasty, lots of choice for a rather small restaurant. Cozy atmosphere and friendly service. No waiting times when we were there for lunch during the week.

Restaurant 15 minutes walk from “Tea Kelpies” and next to “The Grange Manor” hotel. Welcome and pleasant service. The different dishes we ordered were delicious. On the menu, there are several traditional Scottish dishes. The atmosphere is a bit reminiscent of a dinner.

Good food, cosy and lovely staff

Worked with me and my dietary restrictions (gluten, egg, dairy) Best meal I’ve had eating out in a while. I was so grateful!

Sunday lunch with the parents, lovely meat and well worth the value for money. 3 courses is only £21 and the meat is incredible, 2 courses for £20 it's defo worth the visit of this out of sight but great place to eat. Staff very friendly and courteous.

Good quality food but rather cold, don't think they had any heating on.

Lovely place to eat. Good food, great, attentive service. Ample parking. Kids menu is good also, with standard selection for the.

Beautiful cosy wee place. The 2 ladies waiting on us were perfect hosts! The food was Devine. We both had the sirloin steak and it was cooked to perfection. Portion sizes were spot on. Onion rings were delicious in a lovely crispy batter. Dessert was to die for too. Highly recommend coming here if you’re in the area or staying at The Grange Manor Hotel like we are.

Had a meal in here, was lovely I will definitely be back

Great lunch 😋 couldn't move after it. The service was excellent 👌

Was here on a weekday for lunch with my partner. Well decorated. Wasn't too busy but they did have a few tables filled. [To be updated re thoughts on food.] The hot chocolates we had were smooth, but mine arrived very much spilled. I think management would prove wise providing staff with some self balancing service trays. Service was okay, did feel like our server was waiting for her shift to finish. We were overcharged 40% on the 2-course menu, it was probably a genuine mistake.

Our booking was last Friday at 4.45pm so place was very quiet, as you would expect. We all enjoyed our meals. Only disappointment was we planned on ordering from their 2 and 3 course menu as it states this is available Monday to Friday between 12pm and 5pm but the waitress said last orders for that menu is 4.30pm!! Think they need to clarify this on the menu then as misleading and unfair. Meals from this menu are presented slightly differently but same excellent quality and great value.

I decided to go here for lunch a few months before Christmas as I was about to make a reservation for Christmas Dinner, thankfully I decided to check this place out first. Service was slow. I had the chicken and my veg was all cooked frozen veg. No taste. Some of the chicken and haggis was ok. Some was overcooked under a heat lamp probably for a while. Mashed potato was good. The persons I was with main course wasn't any better theirs was fish and chips with an uncooked batter! We complained and received the meals comoensated but this put me off booking there for Christmas. Won't be running back there anytime soon!

Quiet place to eat and enjoy a wonderful 5⭐️food

Staff were good,restaurant was clean food was excellent.

We had Christmas Day lunch here - party of 4. It was faultless. The food was delicious and well cooked, the staff were charming, efficient and friendly and the atmosphere was festive. Santa even made an appearance. It couldn't have been better - well done to everyone involved.

The flat iron steak was very tasty, nice ambience, swift service.

Lovely meal. Exceptional service. 2 waitresses on, and the place was full, including a party of at least 16.

Really good to get a booth, nice ambience, great service without being imposing, food of a high quality so will definitely be back

The restaurant is advertised on Google as dog friendly. We arrived with a small dog and were told that the restaurant is not dog friendly today

We’d visited Cooks years ago and wasn’t impressed but our recent visit was really nice. Food was great. Service great too. Nice friendly staff. Booking was a bit awkward so would recommend just calling.

3 course meal with drinks. Delicious starter of lentil soup, mains of sirloin steak cooked to our preferences, followed with desserts of Arran ice cream and a sundae. All delicious. Service could not be faulted. Knowledgeable, attentive staff. Lovely greeting on entering Restaurant. Hope to return soon.

Thank you to the lovely staff who let us in an hour early! Food was wonderful and the service continued to be great. Ideal spot if visiting the Kelpies.

Great wee place for great food and service

Amazing food and excellent service! The Haggis BonBons were incredible, was my first taste of Haggis and I'm hooked!! Beautiful restaurant and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend it!

I took my Aunt for lunch as it was her 90 birthday. The restaurant was lovely. Greeted by a lovely girl. My Aunt had her first cocktail! The meal was delicious and plentiful as it was from the special menu great value for money. The girl was attentive and when my Aunt's latte came she had put a candle in the shortbread biscuit as she wasn't having a dessert. What a lovely thoughtful thing to do. Will definitely return.

A place with a nice interior, with friendly staff and delicious food.

Super jagnjetina. Dolazim ponovo

This has been on the list of places to try for a while! We went for dinner early on a Saturday evening. Food was scrumptious and the staff were friendly and polite. Our food arrived promptly. Would definitely recommend 👌

First time visitor, but will definitely return. Loved the decor, the setting and the ambience, only bettered by the service & tasty food on offer, which was top drawer. We were hoping for a nice, relaxing anniversary dinner and couldn't have imagined it going better than it did. Highly recommended.

After travelling around the UK, enduring no more than mediocre food and questionable service since lockdown, it was a fantastic surprise to actually eat great food and be served by very pleasant staff. We had ribeye steak and chicken fajitas and they were delicious. We would love to come back, when we’re next this way.

The meals were excellent and we couldn't fault the staff. Recommended to us by Premier Lodge. A good choice.

I went with my mum to cooks this afternoon for lunch the food was absolutely delicious I would definitely recommend it for eating out

Good service, limited gluten free options but server had good awareness and checked with kitchen which great - had steak which felt was a little expensive and not great £28 ish (and no mushroom as stated !) sadly for money far better value in many other places in glasgow. Felt bit hotel prices (which in fairness it is!) not best food, was ok!

Great little bar / restaurant with some excellent food at reasonable prices. Service can be a little slow, though.

My daughter and I had Dinner at Cook's Bar and Kitchen. The staff were very welcoming, efficient and pleasant. Our starters were followed by seafood linguine and feather blade of beef - all excellent quality and taste and very substantial portions. Much as we wanted to try the cheese board, we just weren't able to!

Great place to eat,good location,food and service really good.

Popped in to this fabulous eatery after visiting the Kelpies. We were warmly welcomed by a lovely young lady who looked after our table (3 adults, 4 children) from start to finish. The food, service and atmosphere was truly exceptional. Would highly recommend to all.

Nice food Nice service with a smile 😊

I love the quiet, but don't let that put you off a meal. Food is delicious

Clean smart place and staff. Will be back

Always enjoy meals here and good service value for money

Had a lovely meal here. Good home cooked food. Staff were welcoming and pleasant. Overall we had a good experience. Definitely will be back.

Fantastic food always get a great meal. Lovley friendly staff

Cant fault the food and the surroundings, however little dissapointed with service only 2 members of staff and we sat for long periods with empty glasses having twice to approach the bar to get srvice. Staff just seemed to be under a heavy load and unable to cope with the demand. One little other issue my wife noticed was when i put my info in the card machine to pay my £122.40 Bill she said the waitress stood over me and watched me enter my pin. Yes perfectly inocent and no disrespect on her part but not the done thing in my opinion. Never mind we gave it a shot but again food was amazing but wont be back sorry to say. Not willing to spend that amount of money for 2nd Class Service....

Booked luxury High Tea with Grange only to be told there was a wedding (wedding would have been booked well in advance) so we had to go here. Disappointed and wondered as to how they named what we got as it was not “Luxury” plate of mac n cheese, warned plates were hot-mac n cheese wasnt! One scone, a strawberry tart and Tea (which we had to ask for) bought this for my sisters birthday and was disappointed. Not enough staff for the amount of customers

Out for Fathers day dinner with my husband, our daughter, son in law and toddler grandson! Lovely restaurant, very friendly staff, lovely menu, lots of choice, specials board and a roast menu (as it was Sunday) offering not one but 3 different roasts! Also a smashing kids menu which pleased our grandson very much! Food was all fresh, tasty and very well presented and also very reasonable! We all enjoyed what we had to eat, not a lot was left on our plates! Very relaxed atmosphere, no rush, we all felt very welcome!

Had an amazing sunday roast today, food is outstanding, beautiful restaurant

What a gem of a restuarant, lovely ambience,nice staff and amazing food we really enjoyed everything Also heard Sunday lunch is amazing

Whilst many restaurants have reduced their menus, this one still has an impressive menu with plenty of variety. Food was great and service was prompt and friendly. Draft larger options are a bit limited.

Went for the Groupon steak deal with a glass of wine. Steaks were excellent great service and atmosphere would definitely return.

Service was very slow and food was pretty average. Had the nachos and it was soaked with salsa. A bit disappointing given all the positive reviews.

Very good food for reasonable prices

We went for a leaving lunch for a workmate. 10 of us at lunch ordering off the main menu and we're well catered for and food delivered quickly. I had the goats cheese and mushroom risotto and it tasted great. Had some food envy seeing the other meals coming to the table too. Good quality and quick turnaround for lunchtime period.

Staff was very friendly and helpful food was good definitely recommend to everyone looking for somewhere to go thank u cook's bar 👍
