Just Be in Dumfries & Galloway

Another fantastic meal at Just Be, amazing choice, all delicious! Wonderful service from Deni, Ruby and Ella, sorry I pinched your phone Deni! 🤣Looking forward to the next time. Ma C

Table of 10 for the early birds menu, all the dishes were amazing and great value for money. Could not fault a thing. Staff and service always brilliant too. Would definitely recommend.

We booked a table at 5:30 PM as we were attending a concert at the town hall later that evening. Mum and I chose the early bird menu—three courses for just £24, which was an absolute bargain! While the portions are slightly smaller, they were still incredibly generous—any larger and we’d have struggled to finish! Dad and Kev opted for steaks, and they were cooked to absolute perfection—juicy, tender, and full of flavour. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxing, and the staff were welcoming and attentive, making sure we were well looked after throughout our meal. Highly recommend Just Be for both the quality of the food and the excellent service!

The food was lovely and the service was excellent. We would recommend it as a great place to meet friends for lunch.

Absolutely lovely place to eat at, the only fault I have is the bacon is cooked to much, other than than perfect, the staff are very polite and friendly, I always go there when up at Lockerbie.

Food and service was was excellent when coming in for a Sunday dinner. Deni and her team were fabulous; will definitely be back for another Sunday roast 🫶🏼

Food was lovely and staff were friendly but potion size was shocking. My fish and chips was a child's portion at best. Mentioned this to the staff and got zero response. Disappointing experience to say the least. Won't be rushing back.

Great food selection and good service but most importantly for me, great gluten free options.

From the states... Chicago Totally pleased with the service, atmosphere and the food. (Outstanding...fresh & delicious)

lovely friendly restaurant with a good choice of menu

Brilliant food, Brilliant service, and are always smiling with politeness. Big 5 stars

Wonderful experience at this sweet cafe! Great specials options and fair prices. Very calm and welcoming atmosphere. Locals were welcoming and chatty! Loved our visit!

We stopped in for coffee and some snacks when visiting Lockerbie. Great place with really good coffee, great service and friendly people. The cake was outstanding. Enjoyed the atmosphere. Thank you!!

I had a great coffee and chose from a range of gluten-free treats, which was a great surprise. The staff were very friendly and obliged my request for a coffee after they had closed. I'll definitely be coming back. Thank you

Fabulous bistro and very reasonable. We had the combo it was delicious

Good selection of gluten free items, excellent other food well presented. Busy when we were in but staff were friendly and extremely helpful.

Popped in for a Sunday Dinner. Was not disappointed! Great food, lovely atmosphere, attentive staff. Loved the decorative autumn touches and pleased to see a spotlessly clean bathroom. Had a beef dinner and enjoyed every mouthful! Could have eaten a whole plateful of the sweet chilli parsnips! Will be recommending.

Can't fault it, food was amazing, service was 2nd to none , highly recommended 😀👍👍

Lovely wee place handy for the station

Nice breakfast and tea. Was busy first thing in the morning.

Lovely soup and tea and lovely service

Excellent menu, very friendly staff!

We stopped here on our way home to Scotland. We had a sunday roast dinner. It was superb. We stop here every time we come back from England.

Best blackened Cod dish my wife has ever had and the beef Sunday roast was superb. Very pleasant young staff. Keep up the good work.

Love this place whether sitting in or taking out a brownie and coffee it is my go to in Lockerbie

The perfect bistro serving coffee and fruity pancakes on a Sunday, right when I needed them. And so many vegetarian treats! Really great and I plan to go there constantly. 😋

Our first visit and little gem of a place too. We arrived on Saturday lunchtime, about 13:00 and it was very busy, although we did manage to get a table. The menu was extensive and the staff were friendly and attentive. The quality of food was excellent and service rapid. The prices were very competitive. We will definitely be back ☺️

Amazing food and service. Great selection of cakes. Serves breakfasts and meals. Cater for vegans and other dietary requirements.

Nice coffee and cake but they forgot my partners order

Located in Lockerbie. We stopped there for lunch on the way to Samye Ling. Service and food was spot on!

A M A Z I N G 🤩 Great atmosphere, very friendly staff who clearly know their regulars and took time to chat to them. Full gluten free menu with many options from full breakfasts including GF tattie scones and haggis. Toasties, paninis, wraps and pancakes. Freshly made. The pancake platter was absolutely delicious 😋

You know when you've found the right place when you want everyone else's meal, then you taste your own and everything else disappears! A black pudding salad! Apparently, it's not popular! How? It comes in large crumbled chunks spread over a bed of various leaves, with juicy chunks of Stilton, slices of apple, baby tomatoes, and dressing. I was greedy and had a bowl of chips with it. Soooo crispy and tasty! My wife and oldest daughter had mac'n'cheese, which they loved - very cheesy! My youngest girl had mushroom soup which was also well received. Very impressed. And the service was professional, warm and friendly. Thank you all!

Excellent steak and chips. Great Merlot by the glass. Really good service. Liked this place a lot especially after a 5 hour train journey.

Stopped in to get out of the rain and something to eat. Food was really good, nice and homely. Friendly customer service too :).

Lovely bistro in the centre of Lockerbie. We had the roast beef Sunday lunch. Wow. One of the nicest Sunday lunches I’ve had in years. Large portions might not suit everyone but I really enjoyed it . Excellent staff were polite and chatty. I’d certainly go there again.

A very nice place. Good food at a good price. Good service.

First visit here today. Delicious Sunday roast. We will be back.x

Lovely, busy, well-run cafe with fantastic home made cakes

Full Scottish breakfast excellent, staff very efficient got tables moved to let everyone sit together.

I ordered a full ham salad with two poached eggs on top with honey mayo dressing and a black coffee and a slice of blueberry and lime cake, Out off all the places I have been to this week for lunch it's the best for food ,

I had Caesar Salad and my hubby had the special which loved. The staff were very pleasant and professional. We had coffee/ tea and cake to follow, all in all a good experience.

We met here for a very late Sunday lunch. Food was delicious, including the raspberry and Prosecco posset. Coffee excellent too. The staff left us to relax after our meal and we only realised that they were closed after someone who came in for a coffee was told they were closed!

Best coffee for miles around. Also really great ambience and service. Young, cool and friendly! Makes me feel old 🤣

Stopped in for a bite of lunch, luckily arrived just before they stopped serving food. Cozy little spot. Large menu, and assortment of cakes and tray bakes. The coffee was also delicious. Will certainly stop in again if I am ever in the area.

Lovely meal at Just Be Bistro last night. Food and cocktails were lovely and staff were great. Good to now have somewhere like this in the town for an evening meal.

We had lunch here the food was very good.the service was excellent. And the place was clean with plenty of room. Worth a visit 👍

Best cafe in town. Staff are always friendly and the food's excellent. We're lucky to have such a great spot in Lockerbie.

Great coffee, friendly service and a good way to spend time before your train journey

Best vegan breakfast ever! And great service too, would definitely recommend

We took our mums for an evening meal for a Mothers day treat snd what a treat it was . Food was delicious ! The mums had the small plates and main menu was on offer too which I had the most delicious chicken noodle stir fry , it really was the best bowl of noodles that I have had . The passion fruit panacotta dessert was amazing too , ending it off with a yummy cocktail . Service was fab too as well as the food . It’s great that Lockerbie has a place to go and enjoy a delicious meal in the evening. Thank you Just Be , we had 2 very happy mums 😊

A lovely cafe with a warm welcome and great selection of coffees and food. Wonderful specials on offer (I loved the fish cakes) as well as a great selection of tasty cakes. Highly recommended!

Called in on a rainy Sunday afternoon, nice cozy atmosphere, a good choice on the menu and the staff were friendly and accommodating. I had a toasted sandwich and it was delicious. I'll happily recommend a visit.

Very nice but very expensive for a coffee and cake 🎂

Sadly no dogs allowed. Train was cancelled so went to the only open cafe in Lockerbie. Politely turned away.

Lovely place with great food and excellent service. Recommend this place highly.

Cozy cafe. Excellent gluten free menu.

Travelling south we couldn't face a motorway service station so we called into Lockerbie. We passed Just Be, called in but the menu had nothing vegetarian or vegan. Fortunately my wife spotted in the corner of the menu that they had a separate vegan/vegetarian menu. The choice, food and service were excellent. One of the best cafes we have been to and certainly worth a couple of extra miles to come off the motorway.

We had our office Christmas party here. Good communication on the run up to the date. Ample choices everyone was catered for Staff on the day cheery and helpful, food was perfectly portioned and tasted amazing.

A busy little bistro with customers being turned away. Comprehensive menu with something for everyone. Opted for the breakfasts. The food was delicious the least greasy breakfast ever. Delicious bacon, haggis and sausage. Perfect fried egg and a decent portion of beans. Service was a little slow and card machine not working was a little problematic. Didn't affect the quality of the food.

Been many times, sorry but the service is very very slow although pleasant.

Shame it was the turning on of the lights as the menu was only soup and sandwich. Saying that, the soup was was home made, served well and staff very pleasant. I will be going back that is for sure.

Go here every year, brilliant place I especially love the pancake platter.

Brilliant staff...food lovely ,will definitely tell friends what an amazing restaurant/bistro this is..Thanks so much ..

Very friendly staff. Huge choice available from menu. Panini was very nice with crisps and salad on side. Lovely coffee as well! Couldn't fault it 😎

Lovely food and lovely service! Stopped for some food, tea and cakes and was very impressed! Had the special, chicken and hallomi gyros and it tasted as good as the ones I had in Greece! Happy ☺️

Had the special was amazing as always.

Best coffee so far on our UK visit.

We visited Just Be last year and really enjoyed it. We visited this time for breakfast and coffee and cake. The Full Scottish and Eggs Benedict were amazing. The cakes are delicious, it was a struggle to pick only one. The staff are always welcoming and helpful. A fantastic stop-off.

I had an unplanned visit to the cafe. What a very friendly place. Latte was just right. Had a Haggis roll it was yum and the carrot cake was the best I have had. Pleased I popped in. Highly recommend it.

Usually use the Bistro at least once a week. Great place just for a coffee or a nice neal. Quite often have a specials board with something different on it. Staff, food and drinks are great. Lower area is wheelchair accessible

Lovely staff, food and vegan breakfast! Good prices. I recommend.

Asked for the gf menu and it was very very similar to the none gf one...I had a breakfast that had everything on it as a normal brekky had but gf holy cow it was amazing

We might have a new favourite Scottish cafe. The coffee is fruity and tasty. The menu is good with all day breakfasts and lunch options including homemade soup. The cafe is comfortable and welcoming.

Lovely food that is slightly different and definitely cannot be described as mundane. Staff are friendly and there to ensure you enjoy your eating experience.

Very nice cafe. The staff are friendly and efficient, surroundings are very pleasant. The food is very nice, we enjoyed our breakfasts, great choice with mix and match options.

5* Place! Best cafe for miles around! Friendly staff Super food Cater for veggies :) Incredible pancakes and cakes #legends

Food was lovely staff really nice but was on the noisy side . But really nice.

We had the best Scottish breakfast of all the places we visited on a trip around Scotland. The coffee was very smooth and creamy too and overall very reasonably priced. Will be recommending this place to anyone on their way to or from Scotland.

A friendly, welcoming cafe where the food never disappoints. Lots of choices on the menu, and fresh sweet options on the counter each day

This place is that good I am writing this as I am still sitting here!! We are a vegan family and the choices are vast! We had the vegan breakfast and vegan cheese and beam jacket potato. The portion sizes are so good and certainly value for money. Staff are so so friendly and knowledgeable and even brought out a free bit of vegan cake for our views on If your reading this, go!!!!

The breakfast was OK, don't arrive until 9 am as they do not let you in. I would describe it as a middle of the road place for breakfast.

I didn’t see the sign that said to wait to be seated so found a table and sat for a while before I realised my mistake. After that I quickly got served. The food was well worth the wait. The Eggs Benedict was cooked to perfection, the ingredients on the Caesar salad were extremely fresh. The cheesecake was the best by far that I have had for years. Thank you

Nice cafe in centre of Lockerbie. Busy at lunchtime, and seemed to attract a fair number of tourists. Great variety of lunch items including sandwiches, soups and salads. Also had alternative milks for coffees.

Fantastic food and a friendly atmosphere. We popped in for brunch, the Eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked with a delicious hollandaise. The Pancake Platter has two huge pancakes with sweet and savoury toppings. Just Be also serves the best coffee in Lockerbie.

This was a great find - looking for somewhere just off the motorway as we had a long drive. I had a posh fish finger sandwich and my wife had a small scottish. Despite the fact we were both stuffed, we went for dessert. The cakes are even bigger than the mains! Will be back at a later date as it's only an hour away from home.

Regular diners here, love the weekly specials and coffee is always a treat

Great little cafe if looking to stop off the motorway. Food choice was great and loads of lovely cakes. Caters really well for gluten free which is how we found this place from recommendations. Highly recommend

Excellent cafe in the centre of Lockerbie. We stopped here on one of many trips up and down the country and will certainly be going back. Food was excellent - but not fast. Good price. Good atmosphere. Much enjoyed.

Lovely little layout. Perfect for catching up with friends. I had a hot roll, along with a coffee, both were lovely. Service was great. Would recommend to most.

Lovely lunch on Sunday on our way to visit my sister in Lochmaben. 🥰

Nice place with food. Prices are very reasonable!

Very disappointing experience. It seems the service depends on whether the young staff know you or not. Despite being in before other customers, they were served before me because the staff knew them and when I asked if I could place my order it still wasn't taken and I was told they would be back. Needless to say with that kind of service I didn't wait and just left without sampling anything

Fantastic cake and coffee, great service, toilet and free car park 50m away Caters to vegan and dairy allergy Top spot

Nice cuppa coffee outside in sunshine watching the world go by. Quick service. Nice people. Do try it. Right on main thoroughfare.

Bobbed in for lunch. Food was great and reasonably priced. Lovely atmosphere. Great coffee.

Absolutely lovely food, with a great selection,for both my daughter and myself. Great value and one of the best flat whites I've ever had.

Been before a few times and had good experience but this time was a bit of a let down. Got a pot of tea for two and never got asked if needed sugar so had to go ask and got only 3 sachets for a whole pot of tea. Breakfast came and never got offered sauce so again had to ask for it. My cup had a big chip in it and bacon was solid 😞
