Croft and Cairns in Aberdeen City

Went for breakfast I asked for poached egg got a black fried egg not fit to eat ,also another person got eggs that were not cooked ,we asked for toast got hot bread ,coffee was also cold .was told the chef had a hangover unacceptable.won’t be back anytime soon.

This was our first visit here when we went for breakfast with our grandson. Limited menu but perfectly adequate for breakfast. My wife and I opted for the Croft breakfast of one each of bacon, sausage, tattie scone, hash brown, and black pudding. I had a fried egg and my wife had a soft poached egg. Beans in a separate ramekin, and toast completed the plate full, all for a fiver. Our grandson went for the Cairn which at £8 was double the size of ours. Excellent friendly service in a clean and tidy dining room. The premises also has a bar with a pool table and sports programmes showing on wall mounted TVs. We'll definitely be back!

On a visit to Aberdeen for a wedding, we saw that this pub restaurant was recommended, and booked a table for 9. Very impressed with the quality of the food and size of the portions - great value for money. Also very friendly staff, and great photos on the walls of some of Aberdeen's most famous sons & daughters. If I'm back in Aberdeen again, I will be paying this establishment another visit.

Back to the standards it was at the beginning. Food was excellent, portion sizes still massive, will be back next week. Welcome back Chip! You were missed!

It was great to be back at the Croft and back to how it was when it first opened. Top class service, even getting plates to show portion sizes before ordering. My favourite chicken Maryland is still on the menu and it was just how I remembered it and cooked perfectly. When my friend couldn’t finish her meal she was given a takeaway box to take home so no food wastage. One of our favourite places, really recommend giving it a go, you won’t be disappointed.

Lovely dining room and the food just beautiful. We had the macaroni pizza and mushroom pasta and shared as we suffer from food envy!! The pizza was very good but the mushroom pasta was the nicest dish I have ever eaten. 11 out of 10 from me.

GOOD pub grub is what’s on the menu at Croft & Cairns in Stockethill. I could write a review …. but, no need. The pictures speak for themselves. Great choice, excellent value, full-on flavours. Our only quibble? There was far too much! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow..been here now 2 times since I discovered this place and it is only 10min walk from my flat. The food is amazing (mac'n cheese was one the best I have ever had in my life). Try anything in the menu and I bet you wont be dissapointed. Also to point out they do affordable and amazing cocktails as well!

Really good food and very well priced. The waiter was also lovely. Definitely a hidden gem in Aberdeen. Would recommend the pizza and the desserts. Great for a casual family meal.

Once again over from Spain and must say just gets better and better will always eat here when in town Owner little strange but his food is first class

Absolutely fantastic food, each plate was emptied .Definitely top quality food and service was excellent

My family and I went here for Sunday lunch, and were really impressed. The food was amazing, particularly the ribs, the kids meals were great, all portions were really generous. The service was exceptional, they couldn’t have been more helpful. Will definitely be going again soon.

Omg , back again and it just gets better. It’s all been upgraded and looks great. The food, the service and atmosphere is so good. Can’t wait to get back soon.

first time ive used this place and will happily use again, i had mac & cheese it was lovely ,you could really taste the cheese in it .

Been there twice now and on both occasions the quality of the food was excellent and for such quality, the price was very good value. The staff were professional but at the same time friendly, tonight our main serving staff were Fraser and Tom, both lovely lads. The area where the restaurant is situated and the décor maybe leave a bit to be desired but the food and the service more than makes up for this. My only real criticisms would be their lack of proper coffee at the end of the meal and their cheap paper napkins. (We were offered instant?) A small pot of proper coffee and a decent paper napkin would add to the experience.

Food is incredible and portion size definitely worth the cash. Cocktails are a delight and go down easily. Old fashioned, albeit not on the cocktail menu and bartender happy to make, is tremendous.

We came for a meal on re-opening night and it was just as good as before. Food and service was amazing! Love the refurb, I popped into the new cocktail lounge and looks great, can’t wait to try this. Will be back next week!

Absolutely amazing service. The food was exquisite and the service was brilliant. Can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed my visit

Always attentive service from the friendly staff..tasty menu and generous portion size..so happy to see you guys open again we have missed you

Been to this restaurant before And must say just as good as before Couldn't fault it, the house burger is to die for. shame about the weather, been to Aberdeen time and time again never had a sunny day,

Fantastically delicious food and fab service. We quite enjoyed the food in particular the excellent quality burgers. Would definitely go back and would highly recommend. A little off the beaten track but well worth it.

perhaps I got bad service because it was my first order. chicken burger was terrible, thin leathery bit of chicken not crispy batter, wilted slimy lettuce and an undercooked and soggy bun, fries were poor, the pizza was not bad though under cooked. I am...

Being disabled and on the canny go oot list I had a take away from the Croft and Cairns which was every bit as good as when we would go there for a meal in the olden days B.C. (before corona)even with all the added...

This place is a hidden gem so much better than the chain restaurant in the centre the food was brilliant and loads of variety.

Second visit from Spain. Had to try this place again it didn't disappoint. Both had the ribs and would highly recommend them.This place is well worth going out of your way for , without a doubt will be back on my next trip to uk

I got recommended to try this from a work colleague as they said the food was amazing. We came in as a table of 4 last night and was really impressed. It’s no wonder people are raving about this place as it’s a classic case...

What can I say! Good home cooked quality food . Excellent value and service with a smile. After a long day sightseeing from spain. This was a perfect end to the day !

I was one of a group of four who booked a table for 6.30 on Saturday. As others have said, it's a bit off the beaten track, but don't let that put you off. All in all, it was a pretty good experience. Most importantly...

Great value. Good quality meal. Plenty on the plate. Ideal for what we wanted. Disregard the location. Hop in a taxi and pay it a visit. Recommended

I visited with my father in law, he had the fish and chips and there were over three different options for the chips : fries/ sweet potato/regular, he couldn’t recommend his meal any higher , batter light and perfect and the fish was cooked to...

Wow first time here and definitely won’t be the last, the ribs are to die for and the portions are massive, so much more on the menu we want to try. Highly recommend

My husband and I have visited this restaurant many times now and wanted to set up a tripadvisor account to let other people know how fantastic this place is. The food is freshly made and presented beautifully and the service from arriving to leaving was...

Ordered the chefs special. The chicken pollo. Was quite disappointed tbh, the chicken was quite hard and burnt on some parts. The cheese sauce was just threw on top was far too much for how strong the sauce is. Heard alot of good reviews and...

We decided to have a meal at the Cairns with family as we had no plans for the night arrived for8.25 and we were sited and ordered drinks and looked at the menu We have been here a few times and know the menu is...

Went with the family for a meal. Food was really good. We had 2 toddlers with us and could not believe the size of portions for them, they were huge and great value for the price of them. Staff were really nice and helpful.

We decided to go out for Christmas dinner this year and WOW it was amazing we were welcomed by Danny and had no waiting to get seated in a very well planned event As for the food ... flawless the kitchen led brilliantly by Roy...

Finished work and nipped in for a late supper - food was excellent but as the Chef left at 8:30 we could not have any desserts which was a bit dissapointing seeing as the website states it's open till 9pm.

Popped in on a Sunday night...a few diners in....but got a table for 2 no problem. Wife opted for the slab of ribs(£16.95...a little expensive I thought....but well worth it...the wife said) I choice the chicken maryland (£13.95....well worth it too) Good variety on the...

The staff member was very bubbly and helpfull. Explained lunch menu. Food when came was delish. Price was quite good too. Only crit is nothing for wee one.

This is my 8th time here and as always service and food were 10/10. I'm a creature of habit and usually have Maryland chicken or haddock but went with the macaroni cheese & fries today which was delicious and very cheesy. If you haven't been...

Delicious food, freshly prepared, all piping hot, and beautifully presented. Well done to Roy and Danny who looked after us all very well!! The menu has something for everyone! Plus loved the juke Box!!

We went on recommendations from trip advisor, and we weren’t disappointed! We were a little dubious when arriving at the venue as there was only parking outside the flats and on the street-no car park, but once inside we only had positive things to say....

I visited here with my friend a couple of months ago for lunch. The place was empty although it was a week day and was around 12 so didn't bother us. My friend has been before and has enjoyed the food so I was really...

After hearing great things about this place we couldn't wait to try it. The reviews are spot on. Thankfully we had reserved a table as it was very busy when we arrived with very few tables free and most of those were reserved. We received...

As other reviews state, this place looks a little rough around the edges, nestled within some high rises in a housing estate. However the newly refurbished lounge in this pub is lovely clean and tidy. Drinks selection a little basic but the pint of Belhaven...

Best pizza I have ever tasted in Aberdeen and the millionaires cheesecake is to die for. Very well priced, and fast friendly service. Will definitely be back l.

Would highly recommend for family/friends or a solo visit. Food is well made and have never had a problem with service.

As this Restaurant/bar is just down the road from me I have been here a few times. Everything I have tried on the menu has been fantastic, and you get big portions. All the staff are very welcoming and helpful for what you need, I...

Visiting Aberdeen for one night, I used trip advisor to get a table booked as it was a Saturday night. Chose this restaurant purely on the reviews that already been left. When we arrived I honestly thought we had made a mistake with the address...

Went tonight with my wife and baby boy after reading the great reviews. The only problem we had was deciding on what to eat. It’s a great menu with a lot of my favourites. The food was perfect and tasty with good sized portions. The...

Great Food at reasonable prices. Also a bonus that it’s owned locally and not by a chain, which is refreshing these days.

Food and service is amazing, visited loads of times and never disappoints! Portions and very generous and the quality of the food is unreal.

Just been for a meal. It was amazing food at an amazing price. Highly recommend. Jack Daniel's chicken, I will be back for more.
