GWR in Glasgow City

Fish and chips lunch with homemade batter, mushy peas, tartare sauce and chips for £ 7.95...outstanding. Everything freshly made on the premises and absolutely delicious.

Always a lovely atmosphere, cozy vibes. Friendly relaxed staff, providing great service. Good range of choice on the menu. Food is delicious! Good value for money. Been here a few times with friends and they have loved it. Always book a table as it seems busy. Not used the outside domes but would be a great idea for larger parties always seem busy later on at night when leaving. Toilets are a bit shabby and dated in need of a refurb but always clean. Will definitely be back again and again.

Great food and fantastic staff. Made feel extremely welcome and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. Food is reasonably priced and the specials are definitely worth a look.

Booked Dome 5 and had a great night.Dome was amazing.Food was excellent and the staff were so attentive .Will go again .x

Booked a dome for our early Christmas get together. The staff could not have been nicer, they were so friendly, accommodating and attentive. Laura looked after our table and she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, Constantly checking in to see if we needed anything. We had a mixture of Sunday roasts and light bites and all were absolutely delicious. After our booking in the dome we fancied a few more drinks so the staff happily found us a table big enough. Could not recommend this place highly enough. Thanks guys, we’ll be back!

To be honest I never thought I'd give this place a 5/5 again. It is expensive but they have started doing deals so we went for the Tuesday fish and chip deal which was fantastic. The fish was delicious and the house wine was decent. Lovely welcome and service from a lady who was fairly new to the restaurant. This might become our local once more🙂

So , not really one for righting reviews, but, I’ve just had the best Sunday dinner in years here! Can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a meal so much! The beef was moist and cooked well. The veg was cooked to perfection, Al dente. The cauliflower cheese was AMAZING! Will definitely return !

The welcome was luke-warm. As was the food. The atmosphere was dull and customer service (eg. 'how is your food?') was non-existent. The only reason we went there was because we were visiting my dad in Gartnavel Hospital and it seemed convenient. I would not recommend.

We celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary dinner here with local friends who booked it for us. We ate in one of the "Domes", it was a fantastic experience. The service was fast, the food was amazing, and the music was our own with wifi in the dome :) I highly recommend this restaurant and yes you can eat inside as well. Lots of ambiance too.

Hidden little gem . Visited this place today after passing it last week . Was pleasantly surprised chose the lunch menu . Four of us opted for the fish and chips which was delicious . Staff very nice and the place and location is superb and fantastic prices . I will definitely be visiting this place on a regular basis and would highly recommend. You will not be disappointed give it a try . The only thing I wasn’t sure about was the parking as it’s not very clear if it’s free or if you have to pay at the meter . I paid at the meter for 2 hours which cost 6.80 which I am not complaining about but I feel if I go the next time and parking is free I would like to know for future reference. Well done and keep up the good work .

Booked the Mezzanine for a family reunion lunch. From the very first enquiry made by my cousin to the event today the staff were beyond fab. They did everything they CD do to help and the food was lovely. The Mezzanine was perfect and full of history and the perfect venue for our small gettogether. The views out the old track through the trees were lovely. Highly recommend and massive praise to the staff.

Recently started going back to GWR, as it seemed to be perking up. Twice, now, really enjoyed their CnC: lovely, freshly- made fruit scones; good, hot tea and coffee. Back there, today for lunch. Light, fluffy omelettes, and haddock and tasty, chunky chips. Excellent service, too, from friendly, helpful staff. Will definitely be rturning more often, now.

Experience was fantastic the staff are friendly like the fact that you can see into the kitchen which the food looks good by Stevie and bridgade, the front off house team run by Danny is fantastic

They emailed ( no call) with 3 days notice to cancel our 35 year anniversary celebration! ( copied email below as warning for future guests). We’d booked one of the pods to make it extra helpful. Unbelievable. Email follows. 16:09:20 BST To: fiona@glendevon.net Subject: Dine at Dome - 1051 GWR Annual Holidays  Dear Guest, 1051 GWR will be going for annual 2 weeks holidays, reopening on 2nd August. As such, your Dine at Dome reservation had to be either rescheduled or cancelled. As a gesture of good will, if you decide to reschedule, we'd be delighted to offer a complimentary Bottle of prosecco or House wine on the day you come. If you decide to cancel instead, we will refund the booking fee in full. Please accept or apologies for the inconvenience. Kind Regards, Filip Dine at Dome Customer Support

Our group of friends had the most lovely night in one of the pods at GWR. We were served by Lewis throughout and was extremely attentive. They had two menus, the standard one and one with lots of specials. We ordered from both menus and...

Having recently moved to within 200m of the GWR we have tried on numerous occasions to find good reason to come here. While the food is adequate, on our latest passing we sat at the bar and had a pint each. At 21:54 we asked when they closed, having not heard last call, and they advised 22:00. We asked if we had time for one more - they said we did, of we drank it within the next 5 minutes???? All this on a Saturday night? A group of 8 women then came in and sat themselves at a table. During this interaction (and the following 5 minutes beyond 10pm where no-one approached us to offer us our bill or request payment) noone approached them to either offer service or advise they were about to close. In summary, the staff are uninterested in their clientele and the owners need to reconsider their opening hours to better reflect their customers.

Hired a pod for joint 60th celebration - really lovely, cosy private spot with our own music blue toothed . Food and service was superb - nothing was too much trouble and the staff were efficient and professional. My fish was cooked to perfection ....

What a fabulous night we had last night at GWR to celebrate a joint 60th Birthday. The food was incredible, service impeccable! Between six of us we shared two cheese starters, the chutney was better than mine!! A bit put out as I make a...

We just arrived at our hotel after a very long night & day of travel from Washington DC USA, I noticed the 1051 across the street. Tired and hungry, we arrived to a decently packed restaurant, promptly seated, and had a very enjoyable meal. We...

We’ve visited for dinner a number of times over the past 2 years or so, but we were so disappointed at the decline that we won’t return. The prices have shot up, and the customer service has went down. The food is still very good...

What a beautiful little treasure of a place , the atmosphere is amazing so friendly . The staff very attentive but not hanging over you . Their Sunday roasts are the best in Scotland and I’ve had a lot . Prices for the city are...

My friend and I visited this place for some lunch as we had been previously and found the lunch menu to be good value however upon arrival, we were informed that they don’t do the lunch menu anymore and had to choose from the more...

I was here yesterday for a family lunch with my 88 year old mother. We were served by Eckta originally from Malaysia. The good was excellent and Eckta made our experience memorable great service, so friendly and went out of her way to accomodation us...

Wow, really expensive for drinks. £10 for a large glass of white wine? The place is nice and the staff are very friendly but bring your credit card as this place thinks it’s in the middle of New York or London. Wouldn’t go back or...

First time having come to restaurant and have lived near by for a number of years. Great personal service, nice atmosphere, nice it has some railway history, food was great and just an all round good feel about the place. The restaurant should look to...

I booked a dining dome for Mother’s Day the staff were amazing and so helpful the food was lovely would definitely recommend GWR to anyone Thanks so much to all the staff for your hospitality see you again soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Group of 4, Saturday night visit. Chateaubriand was delicious - would highly recommend. 4 stars as starters were pretty standard tasting yet relatively expensive. Overall a lovely place for food and drinks

Went for a meal here recently, the meal itself was lovely but we were not adviced a £6.50 service charge would be added without our knowledge until we got the receipt, also the server with the long hair and baggy tesco jeans looked miserable and...

A special occasion in the Dome - but felt very rushed. Bar and kitchen close at 9.45 and staff stand wearing coats staring at customers until they leave. Not nice vibe. Food ok but not good enough to warrant a return visit. Expensive for a...

Lovely food, most of the service was great however one member of staff I found to be awkward. She Asked it my autistic child who she referred to as “that one” wanted a drink and appeared disinterested in her job altogether

We used to come in here a lot after work but the price increases are ridiculous. We paid £28 for 3 drinks and if that wasn’t bad enough I realised that there was a £2.50 service charge added!! We got the drinks from the bar...

Such a lovely place to visit & the food is excellent. I must mention the waiting staff. They’re all polite & friendly, particularly the Greek (I think) guy. Will definitely be eating here regularly.

Went for dinner with my son. Had a cheese and bacon burger which was amazing. I do like a good burger and this steak burger was definitely up there with the best of them. It wasn't cheap but I don't mind paying extra when the...

I have to thank David Maguire and staff for the wonderful service provided on Monday 6th February 2023. The venue was closed to the public to let us have private time. The food provided was plentiful and well prepared. The bar staff were courteous and...

Met a friend for a quick lunch, lovely venue, we had the cutest table and I loved the decor and artwork. Staff were friendly and attentive. Menu for lunch had great choices and I opted for a special of prawn tagliatelle with mussels & chilli...

Avoid. Quite simply the worst bar/restaurant I have ever visited in Glasgow. Ambiance, staff, food, errors..the lot!

We had a lovely meal in Dome 1. It was freezing outside but warm and snug inside the dome. The service was fast, the food piping hot and the company perfect!. A special word of thanks goes to Amy our server. She was helpful, welcoming...

Went for a light lunch, had their Lentil soup which tasted more like onion soup. A few soft drinks and for three of us, we were almost £50 lighter.

I cannot rate 1051 GWR highly enough. Beautiful venue inside and out with welcoming staff. Food stunning and service amazing. And manageress Elena an absolute star who made our two visits so special. Thank you 1051 GWR ❤

enjoyed a lovely dinner here on hogmanay . i had the ribs,hubby had the beef shin.both were absolutely fabulous.service was of a very high standard.

We dined last night at the Dome dining experience last night with 6 friends . We paid £45 to hire the Dome . As promised we had a Dyson heater , the Dome was cozy , the lighting was perfect , the waiting staff were...

Paid £30 for dome lunch. Informed staff about booking. 10 min later another guy came in and started to ask my name for booking again. Also he mentioned we have to hurry up with food ordering as this dome booked after us. This guy was...

I can only rate this 10/10 as it's the highest commendation available. From the greeting, the the service then to the exceptional fabulous food. The menu too is Marvellous with many mouthwatering choices. We had REAL problems getting a taxi for a family member who...

Was really looking forward to annual Christmas night out as a group of 4 friends. We paid £45 charge for the Christmas Dome dining experience promising mood lighting and Dyson heating. Lighting poor with most of it not working. Dyson heater was not provided and...

We booked a dome and paid £45 for the privilege. However, it was not as advertised, there was no Dyson heater, only a very small cheap fan heater (freezing), only half the lights were working and the floor was wet. One of the waitresses told...

I used to really like GWR but something has gone terribly awry since Covid restrictions lifted. The 12.5% ‘fuel surcharge’ was a terrible idea and has thankfully been reversed. What I witnessed trying to enjoy a quiet pint was beyond the pale though. There is...

Bit of an odd one, booked a table for dinner online but when got there was told that it was only drinks and the kitchen was closed. Not the end of the world but bit odd it allowed me to book a restaurant reservation. Ok,...

We had an amazing meal one scallops and one special which was beetroot and goats cheese for starters followed by 2 chicken and haggis for mains. We sat in a lovely booth. The waiting staff were really helpful and attentive. We will definitely return the...

The food was fantastic, great sized portions and the staff were incredibly helpful. We went for my mums birthday and had a great time. We ate in one of the outside pods where u can play your own music plus it’s very warm and cosy....

We had a lovely family dinner in a pod. The service was excellent and the food was great. The kids loved it! The portions are very generous and reasonably priced. Will definitely return.

Fantastic food and staff. Live locally and always have a great freshly prepared meal with a nice beer or wine. The chicken and haggis is a favourite but never been disappointed with any choice. The staff are fantastic, always friendly and willing to accommodate any...

Used this restaurant several times in the past and had nice food and an enjoyable celebrations with friends. Visited with our grand daughter last Sunday and won’t be back service was poor, after a drinks order we had to eventually stop a waiter to take...

After visiting the restaurant to book specific tables for a birthday celebration we arrived to find we were sat at a completely different area between the entrance and the serving hatch. Couldn’t have been a worse spot. The owner rather condescendingly agreed to move us...

Everything has a mandatory 12.5% surcharge. Nice looking place, but with the economy as it is - the place being empty on a Friday after payday speaks volumes.

Thankyou to all the staff at 1051 GWR! All my family had a unique and unforgettable experience here. From the food and drinks to the service there was nothing to complain about. We reserved one of their outside domes which is worth doing. I’d 100%...

Just want to say thank you to David and the staff at 1051 GWR for making our family lunch so great yesterday. Food was delicious with huge portions. Service was quick and efficient despite there being 15 adults and 4 kids in our group. All...

Had been here some time ago and food wasn’t bad so returned today just the 2 of us Was very disappointed, appreciate businesses need to make a profit but £16 for burger and chips which were not home made! Salad dry, limp no dressing, very...

Welcome and service in this restaurant is really commendable. My wife and I had a Delightful lunch in which we enjoyed a splendid home-made lentil soup and bread and a beautifully cooked fish and chips of just the correct proportions for a lunchtime dish. This...

I enjoyed lunch today at 1051 GWR with four friends - we hadn't eaten together since 1969! The restaurant proved ideal for our reunion and the wide-ranging menu suited everyone's tastes. We were particularly impressed by our waiter, Kieran, and we say thanks to him...

My wife & I came across the '1051' while taking a short sentimental stay, revisiting the area of Glasgow, where I lived in my youth and where many members of my mother's family resided 'back in the day'. We were so impressed with this restaurant...

Visited GWR, Sunday 12th June, had a beautiful lunch,great fresh Scottish food, including mussels, hake, steak pie,cumbrian oysters everything was delicious ,, , amazing food, all staff, brilliant service, and a special thank you to Teigan, very very reasonable prices , this is a must...

Service friendly but slow. (think issue was in kitchen). We also had to ask if the sweets were coming. Food pretty average. Black pudding fritter with bacon and poached egg came without bacon! when we pointed it out to waitress and said it was on...

Can not thank David and the team enough for looking after our family and friends at what was an extremely difficult time for our family funeral. The service they provided throughout our time here, from offering their time and hospitality in the week prior, to...

Great atmosphere, had the £25 pizza margarita and pitcher of margaritas deal. Absolutely stellar and the staff were fantastic. Our wee dug was very welcome too. We'll be back.

As well as the great food and good value, the ambience is nice, the decor attractive but most of all our waiter was very professional, friendly and eager to please, going the extra mile to find French, not English, mustard for my fussy mother!

Really tasty food, great atmosphere & very attentive chatty staff. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Visited your restaurant today with 2 friends. Most impressed by your menu and the food when it was brought to our table. However, the young man (Australian accent) who was our waiter was so rude & impatient and didn’t make any effort to hide his...

We dropped in, without a reservation, but were quickly found a table by the welcoming staff. Although only two of us, and the table was set for four, we were allowed to pick a booth at the bar. We were quickly presented with a drinks...

Back for our Club Annual Dinner on 24th March after two year absence. Fantastic night, food good and plentiful. 29 of us enjoyed our evening of chat and 3 courses. Staff very attentive and polite. Thank you to all...... We'll be back.

We shared a booth across from the bar on Saturday night. The restaurant was busy, a delightful sight to see, and we had pre-booked, so no trouble there. No starters as we had eaten there before and finally know our limitations. Both our mains were...

Arrived, shown to table. Waited. Waited. No menu, no drinks offered. No eye contact. No one noticed me after I sat down. Waited 15 minutes then left.

We have not been to this place for years and years, and will not be back ever! Service was slow - we had to ask for a menu after sitting 15 minutes and it was another 15 minutes before we got asked what we wanted....

Just left the restaurant with a very hungry 7 yr old child. Ordered my own meal and a ribeye steak for my son, explained my son has allergies. It’s steak and chips how hard can it be right?! Wrong! The food comes 10 minutes later,...

Went there for a family meal. Each one of us ordered a different meal. We were all impressed with the quality of the food. Bottles of wine not overpriced. Good value for money. Can recommend it and would go back any time.

Really disappointed in the food at GWR last night. We had gone based on recommendation but food was shocking. The lamb was inedible and both parties who had it left most of their dinner. Even the burger was poor with chips too hard to eat....

See personal message. This biz does not deserve to succeed. The focus of your concern is on profit with no hesitation in sacking staff

I was staying near the 1051 for a few weeks and it was only in the last few days that I decided to have lunch there. I was not very hungry so I ordered a cheese omelet it was served reasonably promptly and after I...

Have eaten here several times previously, however most recent visit was very disappointing. My partner and I both ordered the soup starter followed by the steak and guinness pie though it was extremely salty, vegetables severely overcooked and covered in what appeared to be a...

Pleasant, helpful and engaging staff who genuinely enjoyed interacting with their guests. Food and drink was brilliant. Couldn’t have asked for more. Would highly recommend!

I was staying near the restaurant for a few weeks with a work commitment. Due to the service and quality of food compared to our hotel, myself and work colleagues, ended up eating there on a number of occasions. The service was always fantastic, friendly,...

Nice enough but if you are charging westend prices you need to up your game. Tables dirty, toilets are rotten and not even Heinz ketchup sachets but charging £24 for a steak. Staff friendly enough but not sure the quality of place and food warrants...

We had dinner and drinks at 1051 GWR outside on a clammy late summer night. It was lovely to be al fresco but unfortunately the hotdog and burger were very bland and my wine was served in a dirty glass. I'm sorry, we probably won't...

Had a drink here on Friday night as had not been since the start of the Covid situation. Usual friendly efficient service and Guinness now on the drinks menu, someone must have read my last review. Booked a table for for four of us for...

Was here twice over the summer and found the food very good. We sat outside on both occasions having pasta meals and tasty brownie and sticky toffee pudding desserts!! The first time we went here the food was delivered in plastic plates and with plastic...

We have eaten here before and loved it but today was out of this world. Sitting in the Beer Garden and the weather set the the perfect backdrop. From homemade sourdough to black pudding with the most perfectly made egg and the best Olives! Main...

Had lunch here with my mother – what a great experience all round. The scallops with black pudding and chorizo were delicious; I live in London and had previously ordered scallops at a very swanky eatery there that were not nearly as good as these...

Lovely outdoor space for safe and socially distanced drinks and food. The staff are very friendly and offer excellent service!

Great service today from GWR. Offering some free nibbles and drink and making the best of the Covid rules. Top class 👏🏼 gold ⭐️

The staff were so helpful, offering blankets as there were more doors opened than previous due to ventilation for Covid. Plenty of tables, well spaced. The food was good, home made soup, sandwiches, pizza and sausage rolls. The staff reminded us to wear masks when...

Outside seating area is ugly and messy, pints come in terrible plastic cups, and they only have Heineken, which was flat immediately. Very rude staff.

Felt a bit like the people running this place have bitten off more than they can chew with the amount of people they can seat in the beer garden. Took about 40 minutes at a time to just order a drink and the waiting staff...

I took my mother and sister here for lunch and was very surprised that the food is all done outside in a burger van and you have to sit outside in plastic enclosures. For a lunch menu, it was very pricey. £12 for fish and...

We were so lucky to get a table without booking on a Friday afternoon, and were given an option to be in the sun or out of it. Track and trace procedure involves texting a cellphone number which is nice because it doesn’t exclude people...

Brilliant food Good beers Lovely atmosphere 👍👍👍👍👍 Roof terrace , beer garden , really helpful staff

cant wait to go back, was great before pandemic and was nicely done duri it with the outside set up, food good, service swift and really nice beer arden

This place is shocking. Burnt pizza and an absolute rip off. The wee guy who owns it just got an MBE. He’s a pretentious wee guy trying to make out he’s a do gooder.

Been here twice recently. First visit: dinner, food nice, excellent service. Second visit: lunch, food questionable (chicken breadcrumbs very well done but meat pink in middle; burger pink in centre; bruised chips; barely warm pizza), questionable charging practices. Didn't mind the prices first time round...

My husband, daughter and I went out for our first meal since lockdown. We had been looking forward to going to GWR as we have been there on a number of occasions before lockdown and food was always plentiful and tasty. We have also had...

Lovely evening in our own cosy gazebo, complete with heated blankets. We were looked after by the delightful Laura who was very helpful and friendly. We had great food and lots of good chat!! Looking forward to our next visit. The heated gazebos are the...

Like eating here as there are lots of outside tables and gazebos. The staff are always helpful and they are thorough re Covid measures.
