Food was nice but want to highly rate two of the staff. Sorry I don’t know the name of the blonde lady, who was very welcoming and another young lady named Helen. She was very attentive and pleasant

Booked lunch here, not only was the food delicious but it was a very large plateful & reasonably priced. Good atmosphere, relaxed, waiter was singing which you don't often see! Overall a lovely experience.

The outside of the hotel/bar doesn’t do it justice & definitely needs some TLC. The bar area is a lovely little space with a small quiet area too if the bar area is a little too much, which I think is a brilliant idea. The reception area as well is lovely and very cozy with some lovey and warm welcoming members of staff. The room itself is small however very clean and comfy. The only problem is that because it is on a main room when you open the window you feel like you’re on the pavement with the cars going past (can get very noisy). The dining area is very dated however the food was gorgeous and offered a wide range of selection as well as deals for the elderly. The continental breakfast was perfect, the selection was great and was available 24 hours. Plus the birds out the back were a nice added touch. Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️

This was an easy and simple stay for us on the last day of our trip. The room was clean had good temperature. Yes it was a little noisy but you're above a local pub so that's just something you need to be okay with and it didn't bother us at all and we slept the whole night the patrons are generally polite and go home from the pub at a good hour or if they're staying the night in the hotel go to bed at a reasonable time. Hotel had all the things we needed before we went. Had only a small issue with the internet. It either needs to be boosted or reset as we had loads of interruptions with it.

Managed to get a booking for 3 people at short notice. The staff were lovely and the food delicious. I had the mixed salad and was amazed at the amount of meats, cheese and coleslaw (which deserves a special mention). The chips were lovely and fluffy but crispy on the outside, the best I've had in a long time. I also ordered the apple pie with custard but had to admit defeat. My companions also enjoyed their food. Very good prices too. It won't be long before we come back.

Went for a laid back family lunch for four, having been at The Kitchin (Leith, Edinburgh) and Boar's Head (Auchtermuchty) earlier in the week so it was always going to be a case of the sublime to the ridiculous.....! You really have to appreciate walking into the dining room - I was not sure if I stumbled into the set from Goodnight Sweetheart or literally had gone back in time to the war. We were all but the only customers when we arrived and were put through a very orderly, controlled, borderline aggressive and hilariously characterful process from the Waitress / Commandant who has apparently worked there for 327 years. The menu experience is fascinating. There is a big menu and a small (luttle) menu. Apparently the small menu is for old people and you get your food on a small plate. I think that you pay a little less. And you receive a little less. But fundamentally it is the same food. With every order the Sergeant Major, I mean waitress demands whether you want chups (chips), salad, vegetables or peas. I don't think that anyone orders either the vegetables or the salad. You are directed towards the chups and the peas. The choice is actually reasonable and expect traditional old school pub classics. The advice is to order smart and don't have high expectations. I had scampi (old school shrimp covered in a yellow breading / batter) and of course chups and peas. It was perfectly tasty. Who could mess that up? The other members of our party had omelettes.....they looked terrible but apparently tasted fine and a roast which was very large indeed. They didn't ask about the cooking temperature and I wouldn't risk enquiring if I were you. The appetizers included mushrooms (fried) soup (canned) and halloumi cheese (grilled - surprisingly well) with a drizzle of......drizzle and an innovative salad of lettuce (iceberg), tomato (quartered) and cucumber (thicker than I have seen previously). They were fine. It is very inexpensive. The food is fine or even slightly better than that - I went to Scotts in South Queensferry which has pretensions of grandeur based simply on location earlier in the week and got food poisoning. You don't get food poisoning at The Elbow Room. The germs wouldn't dare. Go there. Tip generously and enjoy.

Stayed in this hotel for an Ice Hockey game which is round the corner. Room was quite small but ok for a couple. Very nice with a balcony/seating area. Probably nice in the summer but bit cold in the winter! Dinner was nice served in a large room which had a few locals in which is a good sign! Breakfast is continental which is laid out in the corridor...bit strange at first but you just help your self and take back to the room. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

We had stopped here for lunch on way home. Was extremely busy but managed to get us a table. The food was delicious. Portions were massive. Plenty to choose from menu and they have a pensioners menu with smaller portions. Staff were lovely and friendly and chatty. Was so good we had family visit the same week and we took them for lunch. Excellent value for money

Stayed at the Elbow Room for 3 nights with my sister and teenage daughter. The room was immaculate, very well designed and thought out. Beds really comfortable and everything there that you could possibly need. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Although it’s above a busy pub there was very little noise. The balcony off the room was a massive tick in the box for us as smokers. Room cleaned and things replenished every day. And the birds in the yard were an added bonus. Will definitely be staying again and would recommend it to anybody.

Cannot fault the food, it is fabulous. However, I phoned Sunday 25th June to enquire if table available for dinner was told by, I think, a young male, no. Asked if perhaps one would become available later, was told Nut! What? How rude! Who speaks to potential customers like that? Anyway we decided to drive along 10 minutes later and we got a table. There was actually 4 tables available, 2 for 4 people and 2 for 2 people. So why was I told Nut? Could have been lost business. Fortunately, food is good as are the staff so will return but strangers might not!

A small group of friends called for our lunch on Father's Day. We were greeted warmly, our drinks order was taken and we were given time to check out the menu. Having eaten here previously we knew the standard and what to expect, as before the food was well presented, simple and tasty. I really enjoyed the black pudding bites with apple sauce that I had for my starter. A couple of us had roast silverside for our main course. The meat was lean and incredibly tender, (if you enjoy rare meat this maybe not for you!). This was served with carrots, cabbage broccoli and a choice of potatoes. I had it with roast pots. All of our plates were emptied. We will be back as it is very reliable, tasty and reasonably priced.

Stayed for one night with our 2 dogs plus points: Friendly welcome. Had a very tasty lunch when we arrived. Room and bathroom was a fair size. Basic but clean. Staff stripped the single bed in the room and covered with a throw so the dogs could be comfy too. Very good continental breakfast selection. Minus points: The double bed was very uncomfortable and on inspection it appeared broken and had been mended with what look like a piece of pallet wood. There was a strange smell, which we could only describe as a mixture of damp and disinfectant. While in our room, the door was opened by a man who claimed we were in his room. When we went to clear the matter up with the management, we were advised that he had the room for 2 weeks prior to our arrival had been moved to another room but they had forgotten to tell him or take the key back! Could have been very scary if this had happened to a woman travelling alone.

Visited the Elbow Room last night for a high tea and what a disappointment! When we arrived and said we’d booked for high tea we were told to “just sit anywhere “ . We sat down at a table and we had to ask for tea and coffee which eventually came lukewarm. We asked if we could get more which we did get but the coffee was very poor quality. We waited for a bit then had our order taken but still no toast,we then asked for some which arrived at same time as our meal. Also we had to ask for butter and jam. The meal itself was ok not bad just ok. After our meal we got a plate with a selection of sponge cakes and caramel shortbread. Nice but not your traditional cakes you’d get and no scones which was a disappointment. The boy that served us tried his best I think but no guidance from other staff. We were made to feel it was time to go at the end very clearly,my friend had her plate taken away from her as she was still eating. A thumbs down from me. Very disappointed.

I meant to leave this review before now. I visited the Elbow room with my mum and a family friend just before Christmas. The food was excellent as was the service. It was also very good value for money. The steak pie was amazing as was The Banana Spilt which I must add was a proper Banana spilt. I'm originally from Fife and this was my first visit to The Elbow room.Will definitely be back and would highly recommend.

What a lovely meal we had as always all 7 of us could find all we wanted on the menu although the food is plain it is very tastey they have attentive waiting staff which is very good. Some guest bitters such as John Smiths are welcome by family who come from Yorkshire.

Popped in here today for a bar lunch and as expected the meal was very good, the servers were polite, well presented and very helpful. Free parking around the back. If you are in Kirkcaldy give the Elbow Room a try.

Stayed here for 1 night on a 3 day trip to Scotland. Lovely hotel . Great staff who had moved us from a double room to a larger family room with seating area in the room and a massive bathroom. If your in the area this is the place to stay

At first I was concerned we had made a mistake as the restaurant was rather empty but I needn't have worried. The room soon began to buzz and the atmosphere was great. The food was wonderful and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Lovely place to eat. Will definitely return.

Have visited the elbow room now a few times for meals and it's always lovely.On this occasion there was just the 2 of us,both had 3 courses and a couple of drinks and was just over £50 so really good value.I had the soup which was one of the only things I wasn't impressed with,described as lentil but more like vegetable.No taste of lentil and with big chunks of carrot and potato,don't get me wrong it was still nice!Partner had the burger and it was that big he had to eat it with a knife and fork,for me I had the large fish and with 2 slices of fresh haddock chips and peas it was really enjoyable,whilst the portions r massive they r always served on a tiny plate,I know some places do this to make the portions look bigger but here u don't have to they r actually massive.Puddings were also lovely.Another small disappointment was after my dad had joined us for a drink he went to order a beer and it must have took the young lad a good 5 mins before even acknowledging him.However they were just a couple of small niggles on what was as always a great meal.Be back soon.

Nice place for a family meal, food was cooked to order and plenty on the plate, tables are set out in the pub area which is still separated from everywhere else, did have to wait about 40 mins for our meals but well worth it, prices were really good, free wifi too and car park, will be back

Went here for the first time on Friday at 4pm for an early dinner with my 5 year old daughter. Really enjoyed it and will be going back. Friendly staff, good food, and relaxing atmosphere. I had nachos for a starter and then steak and ale pie for my main and they were delicious. My daughter had the chicken dippers kids meal. I also had a point of lager and the entire bill was less than 20 pounds.

Our family continually frequent the Elbow Room, especially at weekends. There is an adequate menu to suit most tastes and purses. Food is always well prepared and PLENTIFUL. Parking is available to the rear of the restaurant.

I've visited the Elbow Room many times, and have always been very happy with the warm welcome, friendly informal service and the value and quality of the food. I was there tonight with the kids, and there was a good selection of the usual pub style food, plus a couple of specials. It's nothing fancy, but very well priced and freshly cooked. I always notice that the place improves with every visit, but retains a lot of original character. I will certainly continue to support this local, and happy to recommend it for a visit.

I was in Kirkcaldy for the day with my wife and fiends , the woman went shopping and the men went to the elbow room with our maltese terrier dog. The welcome we got from the bar staff and customers was excellent , everyone was so friendly and the dog got a lot of attention with treats from behind the bar, i just like to thank all for making us feel at home in my local , its the best welcome ive had in a long time going into a strange pub in a different town

one of our party asked if the soup was gluten free the waitress went to check and confirmed it was but when it was brought to the table she also brought bread on the same plate for his main course he told the waitress no coleslaw as it has dairy but when it came to the table it had to be taken back as it had coleslaw on it, another of our party ordered gammon steak but had to leave it as it was smoked but there was no mention of smoked on the menu when the waitress collected the plates and she was informed of this she just smiled not what you expect from a catering establishment.

I have spent quite a few nights at this place over the years and didn't hesitate to book again. What a shock I was in for. Firstly there was no milk in the fridge to go with all the tea and coffee that was left. The restaurant was closed on arrival. We were told it would be open. Once settled and had eaten out we returned for a drink in the snug as we didn't want to join in the karaoke. We witnessed staff shouting at customers. Staff that weren't in duty and drunk. Only then to add insult to injury the staff member then asked us to take her side. Diabolical to say the least. We decided to return to our room to get out the way and retire for the night. Upon getting into bed we discovered holes in the sheets and duvet cover. Photos added. There was also no heating and it was only 1 degree outside. To top off the poor quality of the service we got no breakfast. There wasn't even anyone there to take our keys when we left at 10am. Doors were all locked and no one in sight. We were told the chef didn't start till 10am but that there would be cereals and milk in our room. We are still waiting. Such a disappointment when we have been here a few times previously and the service was perfect before. Have all the good staff deserted a sinking ship coz for me it has well and truly sunk and will not be returning.

Spent 1 night here and have to say was very impressed. We got the family room, which was huge, had 2 single beds and 1 double, there was also a couch and chair in the room. The bathroom was fabulous, very spacious, with separate shower and bath. The accommodation also has separate entry from the main pub. Free wifi in the room and large sky tv package. There is also a fridge in the room. Beds were very comfortable. Staff welcoming and friendly. Didnt get the chance to eat there but would go back as heard many good reviews.

The table for 5 adults was pre-booked.Friendly and polite staff. The wine we wanted was not cold and the staff member put the wine in the chiller for 10 minutes.We placed our order. Food was average. Depending on what your order for the size of the portions. Chefs salad ok. Lasagne you need a side order of chips and the stroganoff and rice, order a side dish aswell ...As mentioned by others the surroundings are tired.

Great location on the Old Course. Beautiful modern terrace on the top floor with stunning views across the fairways to the sea. So wanted to like this place but were disappointed. Food was standard golfing fare - steaks and lobster - OK but nothing special . Wine list reasonable for price and choice. What lets the place down is the lack of management oversight. Tables with broken legs, jet lagged golfers asleep in the lobby, incredibly noisy ambience all overseen by a well meaning but overwhelmed serving staff. Not what you expect when paying $400 for a meal for two. Dinner took three and a half hours. We had to track down staff to order wine, coffee and get the check. Could be a good dining alternative to the Old Course Hotel but its let down badly by the service. Seems its owned by one of those absentee investment companies and it shows .

Had afternoon Tea today(Sunday). The view is stunning, overlooking the golf course and the Forth. We had to wait around 10 minutes and received 4 types of sandwiches, a plain scone and fruit scone and a variety of cakes. The scones were some of the best I’ve ever had- warm from the oven, the cakes were light. We received a bottle of water and large pot of tea but had to ask for glasses. The toilets were a bit more dated than the restaurant but clean

Went for steak night but extremely disappointed. Asked for medium steak but was more rare.Few soggy chips, hard peas and two underdone soggy onion rings. No salad as advertsed. Food was also cold. Asked for a prosecco and was told had no cold ones . Was given small one off top shelf behind bar but when I opened it it was completely flat and very yellow so I think it must have been on the shelf a long while! Lady opened big bottle which again came from top shelf so was not cold but was bubbly. Can't believe there was no bottles in wine fridge. Sticky toffee pudding was good though. Seeing as there was just one other couple in the restaurant there really was no excuse for steak meal being so poor as kitchen not rushed. Won't be rushing back!!!

Arranged to meet friends here for a lunch and a catch up. This is a very popular visit with very pleasant surroundings through a very large conservatory contributing to a very well lit area. There are a number of tables within the conservatory and your extensive menu is on the table. There are hot and cold food choices ordered at the server and brought to your table. We opted for chicken and rice soup and tomato and vegetable soup. To accompany the soup we ordered cheese and onion toasties and cheese and ham. We had carrot cake put aside for later that was the last of it. The chicken soup had a distinct homemade stock flavour with generous amounts of chicken through the rice and veg. The toasties came with crisps and side salad and coleslaw on the side. They were very well cooked with a generous filling. Finally the piece de resistance the home baking carrot cake came bursting with flavour very moist and topped with a very sweet icing. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone and will definitely be back.
