Mario's Plaice in Glasgow City

Lovely looking cafe in Glasgow's West End. I had haddock with some coleslaw, my partner had burger and chips, and we both had a mug of tea each. My haddock initially had a strange taste and I soon realised it was the tartare sauce. It was horrible! I ate what I could of the rest but the tartare sauce left a nasty taste in my mouth. That said, I had a few chips from my girlfriend's plate and they were very nice. No grease at all, and in fairness the fish wasn't greasy either. My girlfriend didn't really enjoy her burger saying that the bun didn't taste great and the Gold Star tomato ketchup wasn't great either. The lady who served us though was so welcoming and friendly and a credit to this place. She was lovely and the tip we gave was for her. The cafe is basic but equally quite stylish with exposed brickwork lit up which I liked, and the prices were OK. Please, please, please though get rid of them tartare sauce sachets. I know Gold Star tomato ketchup is what chippies in Scotland use so I can't really suggest changing. I did like the coleslaw though. Food. 6/10 Service. 10/10

Now refurbished and called Simeone's, but still owned by the same family. £8.70 for a sit-in sausage supper and a giant mug of tea is the best value you'll get on Byres Road. Lovely hot fresh chips and crunchy batter on the sausages (two! Bargain!). A marvellous way to set yourself up for a night on the bevvy.

Superb vegetarian breakfast with every item prepared exactly right. Sausages were especially good. Great coffee and lovely waitress.

Simeones is a lovely little stop for excellent fish and chips. Beautiful batter on the fish, and perfect chips to accompany. Service was outstanding too, big thanks to Alice for being so lovely!

Abysmal service, very , very poor food. I was drawn in because it was the only place open so early on a Sunday morning. Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else.

Stumbled across restaurant upon a recommendation and we were not disappointed. We both got fish and chips, the fish batter was delicious and crispy without being greasy, the chips were excellent and I had a delicious coffee afterwards. The waitress was amazing, we are visiting Glasgow with a young baby and nothing was too much trouble, she kept my food hot till I fed her, brought hot water to heat baby’s food, she was welcoming chatty and made us feel at home. Highly recommended and I will definitely visit again myself…

Local family owned restaurant /chip shop/ take away. Recently refurbished. Friendly staff, great service. Most customers are regulars… anything from a coffee, snack, breakfast to a main meal or 3 course meal. Prices are reasonable and food always excellent

Recently refurbished and with a change of name, it’s now SIMEONE’S It’s the same family run business. Staff are very friendly and food is always excellent. I nip in often for anything from a roll and sausage to an all day breakfast, fish tea, or home made pasta. There’s more choices on the menu including a deep fried Mars Bar, which I had once 😂. Simeone’s has a take away (chip shop) and a separate but adjacent restaurant area where you see the same faces time and time again (always a good sign, as is the fact that many family members work in the business. Other staff have been there years too)

I used to love this place and ordered frequently when it was still named "Mario's Plaice". I loved the freshness and quality of the food. I assumed after the renovation and renaming to Simeone's we would get equal or better quality. However, after going to simeones not long after it opened I was left disappointed with the meal killer of having bones in the fish. For a fish and chip shop this is the one thing that puts me and no doubt most others off, no one wants to be picking out fish bones from their mouth having a fish supper. I thought hopefully this was an off day and maybe the quality wasn't there yet due to having just reopened so now a few months later I returned and sadly I had the same experience again. First I was enjoying the fish with nice the nice batter and great chips only to then catch more bones in my mouth. Even after attempting to continue eating the fish the bones continued. Having this experience even once can put you off a chippy but twice, I'm not sure I'll go back and will instead stick to the alternatives.

Just been in for 2 fish teas to ease the lockdown boredom. Asked for special fish instead of batter (happy to pay an extra couple of quid for that)...when bill arrived it worked out at an extra £10 to have breadcrumbs!!!! ...having a laugh! Such a shame as food was great and staff were lovely but leaves a sour taste as ripping people off. Too many other options such as Catch or Old Salty’s...so sorry Simeones we won’t be back

The portion sizing was good, the food was amazing, the staff are super nice the only thing I probably didn’t like is my food was absolutely roasting (which isn’t the worst thing) but I like my food to be a bit cool to enjoy.

Ordered in and was delivered in quick time, with courtesy and requests fulfilled. It even came in a beautiful bag!! The veggie burger is delicious! The chips are so juicy. Definitely recommend.

Quick stop here for 4 portions of chips with various accompnyments and all were decent. Can't argue with price either, plenty in a small chips portion for one person for a quick lunch.

We both got fish and chips, the fish batter was delicious and crispy to the end, the chips were good, too many for me though.excellent, would highly recommend.

having popped in at 8,30 for a single fish at £5.00 i thought should be ok . what a mistake that was the batter was soggy , the fish very dry ,cold and tasted of nothiing total crap must have been sitting for a good hour or two . i will never return but go to old salty's instead it's not about the money. at that price they should be making fish to order !!!!

Best chippy in Glasgow. Excellent service and excellent food. I reccomend the deep fried pizza supper. Best chippy chips ive ever tasted

Although the staff in the restaurant area of Mario's Plaice are very pleasant and chatty, it's not enough to take away from the poor value for money on offer here. With the breakfast, you are unable to swap items meaning if you don't like an item (e.g. potato scone) then you still have to pay for the full breakfast with this item missing and no replacement of anything else - other breakfast spots in the West End (and pretty much everywhere) allow this, so I think Mario's Plaice is really missing a trick here, especially given their prices are not the cheapest. You also only get one of each item (one strip of bacon, one sausage etc.) - that's not a big breakfast so it shouldn't be stated as that - I will also note that previously when I have bought a roll from here there has been one strip of bacon, which only covers half the roll - not great. The takeaway area is also not great value for money at all - you hardly get any chips in a bag and again, the prices are not cheap, so I would expect to get way more chips than is offered - the portion sizes really need to be looked at in this place as the value for money is shocking which is exactly why my partner and I will not be back, which is a real shame.

I go here all the time and am never disappointed. Really good smoked sausage and chips on offer. My favourite fish and chip shop on Byres Road.

I’ve been coming here for many years, if you want fresh ,tasty fish and Chips in a no frills cafe , come here.

Good food for a good price. Very nice and helpful waitress, who recommended us typical English food. I ordered chicken with bacon and chips. It was delicious!

Comida muy rica y buen precio. El personal muy amable y paciente. Los platos son generosos y tenían muy buen sabor. Los postres también estaban muy ricos. Repetiría sin dudarlo.

My niece and I have just had the most delicious and yummiest dinner ever at Mario's Plaice! We stumbled upon it by accident! We were initially heading to University Cafe however we were bitterly disappointed to discover that by 8:00 pm it had in fact closed! Having a niece with great demands of desiring 'chips and curry sauce' I slowly continued up Byres Road where I saw the beautiful Mario's Plaice! We were warmly greeted by a legend of a lady named ALICE who could not have been anymore friendly, charming and hospitable towards us! There was nothing that was too much trouble for her! We will DEFINITELY be back!

Waited 15 minutes for 3 Special fish to carry out - looked ok when served up. Got home - Huge disappointment as the tiniest slither of fish between the very thick bread crumbs. Probably the worst fish suppers ever. Over £20 wasted.

Excellent food, especially the chips, the menu has plenty veggie options, top class friendly service, what more can you ask?

We come here a lot if we are at a gig. Great traditional chippy, freshly cooked and the best chips in town. Great service even when busy, and always quick to get roasting hot food. Absolutely love the steak pie, and the meatballs too. Huge platefuls at a very reasonable price

Había pasado mucho tiempo desde que el Peckster había comido un pastel. Como de costumbre, le preguntó a la camarera cuál tendrían y, efectivamente, él también optó por lo mismo. Yo, por otro lado, fui directamente al pastel de carne picada con papas fritas y una lata de Irn Bru, ¡qué maravilla!

Personal grosero y desagradable. Están abiertos hasta la 1 am los fines de semana. Visité a las 12: 25 am e hice una solicitud cortés para que me hicieran un artículo. La forma en que me respondieron fue inaceptable. Si trabaja en un entorno orientado al cliente, se espera un cierto nivel de servicio. La forma en que me respondieron fue inaceptable, así que no volveré y recomendaría a otros que prueben en otro lugar donde aprecian a sus clientes y a sus clientes.

Llegué aquí el viernes a la hora del té para cubrir el estómago antes de una noche en el bevvy. Una cena de haggis y una taza de té hicieron el trabajo, llenándome la barriga con suficiente basura para seguir adelante. Es bueno verlos ofreciendo salsa marrón para los aficionados como una alternativa al vinagre de mercado.

Estábamos en un fin de semana de chicas y nos apetecía un desayuno caliente, así que me llevé a Mario's con una cálida bienvenida. Todos pedimos un desayuno completo y pudimos cambiar los artículos si no nos gustaban (no me gusta el budín negro) sin ningún problema. La comida estaba perfectamente preparada y sabía increíble y recién hecha. Enormes tazas de té y una tostada redonda cada uno también. El servicio fue amable y muy acogedor. Muy recomendable y volveremos la próxima vez que estemos en Glasgow!

Popped in for late lunch. Friendly and welcoming waitress. Extensive menu. Coffee is delicious. Fish is fresh. Good prices.

Review by Dr H C Matthew Sim. Pretty good breakfast menu even for lunch. Decent Prices. Good Service. Food is basic but good. I have eaten at this place before. I will probably come back the next time I come back to Glasgow.. Ambience is basic but cosy. Staff is friendly. We are tourists. See my youtube channel Dr H C Matthew SIm. Regards Dr H C Matthew Sim

Cup of tea, slice of white bread, haddock and chips for £8.20, can't be bad can it? All served with a friendly smile. There is lots more on the menu, pasta dishes and such like but the regular fish and chips has to be the meal of choice. Never been dissapointed going here, and will return again and again.

Stumbled in here after a walk through the West End and was so pleased I chose it for lunch! Lots of options from fish and chips to pasta and more. Great variety. Plenty for vegetarians and they will accommodate allergies. Friendly service and very kind staff. Great place for a cheap but cosy meal!

I’d nipped our for some messages, standard, but I’d locked myself out. Big dafty. Big big dafty. It was getting late and decided that food was the way forward, so Mario’s plaice it was.

Rodeado de innumerables tiendas de moda, bares de vinos y cafeterías, ninguno de los cuales, en mi opinión, es tan bueno como el de "Plaice" de Mario.

Soy un cliente habitual aquí, ya que está cerca de la universidad y vende comida que se adapta a mis necesidades dietéticas particulares, y el servicio es siempre amable y la comida es muy agradable. No es un lugar elegante, pero es un buen lugar de pescado y papas fritas local.

Llamé aquí para probar el desayuno. Pensé que el precio era razonable ya que incluía tu bebida. Tenemos dos desayunos estándar. Huevo, 2 salchichas, 1 tocino, bollo de patata, frijoles y tostadas. Las salchichas eran las congeladas (grasosas), los granos no tenían marca y la tostada estaba cubierta con mantequilla (deberían permitirte esparcir la tuya). Además del té, aunque una taza grande era té barato, no una marca. En general, supongo que era una buena relación calidad-precio, pero no volvería.

He estado en Mario's algunas veces cuando he estado en el área, generalmente para el almuerzo. Nunca me ha decepcionado la comida que he comido y siempre he estado tan fresca, he probado las mejores patatas fritas. El personal está siempre dispuesto a servir y son muy amables. Recomiendo encarecidamente a cualquiera que lo pruebe.

Been going here for many years. Good old fashoned chippy with sitting area and also seperate takeaway area. The fish and chips are excellent

3ème fois que je viens et toujours agréable. J’ai amené une amie pour tester les saveurs locals. C’était jute PARFAIT! Elle a adoré. La serveuse est aimable et la nourriture très bonne!

Popped into Marios to meet my student son on Byres Road. First visit. I had a breakfast roll and my son had a standard breakfast. Both were good value. All of it was served cheerfully, and both were tasty, hot and fresh. Coffee did not disappoint and was a pleasant change from the big chains. Based on this experience I will definitely be back. Staff were welcoming and pleasant. Good value. Recommend it.

Was walking down Bhyres Road when I saw this small chippy plus seating.

All in all there’s just not much to say about this place. The food was all quite bland, especially the chips. Maybe it was just an off day, but I probably won’t try again.

Mac and cheese to die for. Good prices and friendly service. Not fine dining but great spot on Byre Street

Litet frukost-/lunchhak. Min fru var väldigt nära att få en kycklingburgare istället för vegoburgare. Servitrisen glömde ge oss dricka. Min steak pie var okej men vegoburgaren var (överraskande nog?) tydligen väldigt god.

Friendly service. Seating fairly small and tight in booths. They do all day breakfasts but we opted for the suppers. Chips were good and batter on fish, king ribs was good. Good value and fairly wide choice on the menu

Ordered a fish supper ,usually when i have previously bought from another place its so greasy,But the fish from here is the absolute BEST ,service was great ,prices are great and staff are lovely,wouldn't change a thing ,would highly recommend,takeaway or sit in,We'll Done Guys ,will be back.

Each time I pop in to Marios the standard is always high, fabulouso 🙋🏻‍♂️🎭🤸🏽‍♂️⛹🏻‍♂️🍳 the food is scottish mainly breakfast lunch dinner as well as a few traditional Italian dishes too.. home made soups are delish 😋

Lite billigare än andra platser. Men helt okej mat. Blandad pasta.pizza och massor annat. Väldigt god milkshake.

Estaba deambulando por el lugar Byres Road, como diría destinados a comer en (Antigua salado) estaba cerrado. Encontramos este pequeño lugar, ordenó el queso macarrones con un lado de patatas fritas. El mac era decente, te dan un buen tamaño de la porción, pero las patatas fritas eran incomibles. Estaban empapadas y flojo, yo diría apuesta nada hubieran estado fritos en aceite viejo, ya que sabía a la porquería a la izquierda en el fondo de la sartén. Quizás más comida tradicional como el abadejo sería mejor, pero incluso entonces yo estaría preocupado de esas patatas asquerosas.

I love fish and chips. Therefore, I was very disappointed when the fish and chips I ordered was so terrible that I couldn't eat more than a couple of bites. Even the chips tasted horrible. My friends burger was tasteless and her chips equally horrible as mine. Her coke was warm. We couldn't eat the food and therefore asked for a discount but didn't find any understanding among the staff. We paid and left the food almost untouched.

Our family of five visited Mario’s Plaice on Byres Road in Glasgow for a late lunch on a weekday. Three of us had the fish and chips, one had scampi and chips, and one had the homemade steak pie. All the food was very fresh and very tasty, not at all greasy, and portions were generous. Service was friendly and quick. We all left feeling full and happy!

Title say's it all. The dug's dangles of west end eateries. Brilliant staff and amazing food .We Return again and again. If you venture into the west end of glasgow come here you won't be disappointed.

I’ve been here for years and I have never had a problem with my food customer service excellent food chips are awesome better than old salty chips and the omelette is amazing

Being a tourist in glasgow I wanted to try a pizza crunch. I got it here! They also did good cod. Chips weren’t so great but nice enough - just a little soggy. Shame I missed the deep friend mars bars.

This is not a classy overpriced 5 star restaurant - but that's not what we wanted! If you want decent freshly cooked comfort food, this is the place to go. Love that it's still got its wee 50s style booths and a local non upper...

Went there for breakfast, fresh orange juice, mushroom omelette. Service with a smile, big portion, tasty and unpretentious.

Been a few times Notre and its average at best had breakfast twice now and both times they got something wrong, but they won't swap items they only let you pay more to add things, so for instance if you can't eat tomatoes or beans...

Byres Rd has become a desert of coffee shops selling visually appealing but gastronomically awful coffees cakes pastries toasties and the likes. They seem to able to get away with this because of 'attutude'. Exceptions are Cup and Saucer Vintage Tea Room (upstairs Decorsey's Arcade,...

Nice cheap breakfast but I would have paid a pound more to have had a good sausage instead of the tasteless one I had (good like the ones they sell at the butcher's over the road from the restaurant).

Almoçamos lá. O local é pequeno. Escolhemos comida mais ao estilo escocês. Ambos os pratos estavam bastante bons e saborosos....

Stumbled across this place about 6 months ago and ordered a fish supper and was told by the manager we would have to wait as the fish is cooked to order which was fine as we like it cooked fresh. We have been going regularly...

Yo estaba buscando una hamburguesa simple en un mundo de comida gourmet. Gracias a Dios un lugar como Mario Solla todavía existe. Sin frivolidades establecimiento ofrece estrecha para sentarse en la mesa así como cabinas. El menú es variado, pastas, hamburguesas, sándwiches, pasteles y especialidades escocesas, marisco, tartas de postre, desayuno, etc. mi hamburguesa estaba bien - Sabor era bueno, pero había demasiado cartílago mezcladas con la carne. Las patatas fritas eran bien casero bien hecho. Pequeña ensalada fuimos derecho a mi hamburguesa. El servicio era rápido pero no atenta - una vez mi comida llegó nunca vi a mi servidor de nuevo. Mesa nunca fue limpiada de los anteriores comensales. Los precios son muy razonables.

Venimos desde ibiza, aquí hacen un excelente fish&chips;,toda la comida estaba buenísima,muy buena experiencia, lo recomiendo totalmente.

Chose to be seated rather than have a take away meal. A real struggle to get into the booth being taller than the average. The fish was a little cool and soggy whilst the chips were cool and limp. Tea was fine and the apple crumble with custard was very good. A popular restaurant with the atmosphere of old Glasgow. Good prices and portions were acceptable. Staff had personality but were not that attentive.

We both had the haddock and chips, and it was absolutely delicious. The orange juice was freshly squeezed and tasted divine.

Me and the wife were out shopping ended up in bryers rd ,had not been in that area FOR year's both of us were starving clocked marios restaurant went in I got fish and chips ,peas ,the wife got scampie chips peas staff were amazing ,the lady said it would be about 10 min that it was getting made fresh for you i said not a problem well when the food was served my haddock was hanging of the plate chips were roasting hot mario 12 out of 10 the food was delicious the way fish and chips should be prepared,my wife said the same that the scampie was spot on anyone travelling this is the place to go prices are good not getting ripped of ,next time iam in the mood for fish n chips ,i will be in marios plaice

Un accueil souriant, des prix abordables et un service rapide. Cet établissement propose des menus breakfast toute la journée. La nourriture est plus que correcte.

Una taza de café y un panecillo y salchichas para dos libras. Si estás en el West End de Glasgow, después de las 9 de la mañana y busca un rápido desayuno, entonces créeme que podría ser peor. Atención, esto es desde el cabo poco junto al restaurante.

This was our second year to visit Mario's Plaice and we were soooo pleased! to see it was just the same as 2016. Lovely, simple well cooked food! Fish & Chips - SCRUMPTIOUS! Lasagne - LOVELY! Half Roast Chicken which was moist and tender - Not dry and shriveled like so many other restaurants serve - DELICIOUS! Lots of other dishes on the menu which I presume were equally fantastic - But we were only in Glasgow for 4 nights!The price of dishes were very good compared to other local eateries - The staff (Some were there last year) are very friendly, helpful and courteous. The whole ambience when you walk in is that of friendship and care. This pair of Silver Surfers were well pleased and look forward to our next visit to Glasgow so we can reacquaint ourselves with this lovely very clean, sparkling eating establishment! Hope it never changes!

Nice traditional chip shop and cage in the world of coffee and cake shops. The staff are extremely friendly and up for a laugh. Food was nice and fresh.

Being an exile I had forgotten how good a Glasgow Chippy could be. Mario's reminded me! Sat down in the small restaurant and had the Fish,Chips and Mushy Peas and a mug of Tea. The food was cooked to order next door and served by a smashing waitress who was great with obviously regular customers. It was great start to a great night on Byres Road.

Been twice in 1 week for lunch. Hands down the best chippy in Glasgow. Expected to pay through the nose for food due to to location but not the case. Very well priced for such good food and the massive portions. Will 100% revisit any time i have the chance.

Went to buy a Spaghetti Carbonara today at Mario's Plaice and the box broke while I was walking back and ruined my clothes. Took the box back and got patronisingly called a liar and that it was "ok to admit that I had dropped it and buy a new one". Never been so disappointed in the attitude of the staff in a restaurant or a takeaway.

Byres Rd has become a desert of coffee shops selling visually appealing but gastronomically awful coffees cakes pastries toasties and the likes. The seem to able to get away with this because of 'attutude'. Exceptions are Cup and Saucer Vintage Tea Room (upstairs Decorsey's Arcade, Creswell Lane) and Mario's Plaice... It's a fish and chip shop and restaurants do that's why it's Plaice and not Place. Well you'll nor get attitude or edible crap in Mario's; that's why it's aye busy and has its regulars going there month after month and year after year. What's more the staff have been there for years too, which is always a good sign, and it means that as a customer your known and receive a genuine friendly and personal service. This wee Plaice is superior to the places that exude a superior attitude. Bear that in mind!

Visited here tonight for a quick meal and had superb service and great food. Son had the spaghetti carbonara which was delicious. Myself and hubby had fresh homemade mushroom soup, which was delicious, and shared a panini. Also had huge mugs of tea! All for £20, who can complain?? Have had fish teas here before which are highly recommended (we just didn't want as much as that on this occasion) This is one of the few places on Byres Rd that has been there for ages and is well worth a visit for traditional food.

Siempre es de agradecer un poco de comida tradicional vayas donde vayas y,en este pequeño restaurante,es su especialidad.Gente muy amable,especialmente (Pauline),que con su peculiar y agradable simpatia hizo de nuestras comidas un verdadero placer.Se come especialmente bien,nos acababamos de sentar y ya nos trajeron el cafe sin necesidad de pedirlo y,la comida,espectacular comida tradicional y grandes porciones,que con el frio siempre se agradece la contundencia.Sin duda es nuestro sitio,Muchas gracias y seguid asi!

popped in here, while waiting for friends. the fish tea was great quality & decently priced. Nice surroundings very similar to a New York Diner I frequent. Staff were friendly & helpful so got to rate this place as excellent!

Visited for lunch yesterday The restaurant was busy but we were served quickly.I usually have the Haddock but opted for the haggis. Delicious..The waitress was friendly and efficient.

El sitio es pequeño y tranquilo.El personal muy muy amable.El fish and chips estaba muy bien hecho y la ración es grande.El breakfast estandart también es una ración suficiente para comer,además no hay limite de hora para servirte el desayuno(en otros restaurantes a las 11h dejan de servirlo) e incluye un té o café.De precio está muy bien comparado con otros sitios en Glasgow(por 12/13 libras el desayuno,fish and chips de los grandes,café y agua).Está bien para comer al visitar la zona del museo kelvingrove,Universidad,asthon lane.

Mario's Plaice is a good place to stop for a breakfast, lunch or dinner. Fresh food, friendly staff. I love their curry sauce, it's like home-made!The chippy bit, has not many spaces to sit in - but they do have a restaurant bit to solve that.

Whether you sit in or take away a fish supper your going to get what all fish suppers aspire to be The wee sit in restaurant has an amazing choice of foods available and all well cooked It's simple fayre done to a very high standard, and the customers keep coming back for more

Clean and friendly local place for good food. Prices are right. The staff were very friendly. If you are in the area and need something to eat give them a try. The customers are friendly as well. This restaurant is kid friendly with lots of local families. I had the Fish and Chip dinner. Generous portions, cooked well.

we have been recomended this place by local as "where the locals go" and really thats exactly what i wanted! wanted to try real scottish dishes and i loved it! no culen skink (kind of fish soup)but the soup of the day was vegetable broth which was eaten till last drop. fish and chips as the main course.the lenth of fish was bigger than the diameter of the plate and was very tasty. if you are after good home made food -- go here! wont be dissapointed!

Visited for a quick bite to eat and wasn't disappointed. Amazing panini filled with mozzarella and black better and such value for money. Waited for a latte longer than the food but would definitely go back.

Comi um prato de fish and chips com purê de ervilha que acompanhava chá e um pão com manteiga. A batata não estava crocante como eu gostaria, mas o peixe e o purê estavam bons. Era muita comida! Tem um prato que vem só fish and chips sem o chá que é ainda maior, dá pra dividir!

Great find amongst many pretentious eateries if you're looking for a traditional breakfast. Great, prompt service.

I was here this morning for a fry up to combat my excesses from the night before. Our waitress was great. Quick and warm service. Fry up was delicious. The eggs were perfect. Quality was good. These guys do a mean fish and chips and easily knock the socks off the closest competition on both price and quality. This is fish and chips the way it's meant to be served: hot, fresh and with a human touch. Well done. I've been going here for years and I will continue to do so.

Les frites ont le goût d'huile de poisson, le poisson quant à lui est copieux mais le goût de l'huile est trop prononcé. La viande du burger ressemble plutôt à de la chair à saucisse qu'à du 100% boeuf. Bref adresse à éviter

Often pop into Marios for a great fish supper when the mood takes us. Do great steak pie too!Well worth a visit. Nice staff.

On the go fish & chips outlet. My lil son just loved Mario's fish & chips. The batter is crispy &'the fish is fresh.

One kid wanted fish n chips, one kid wanted a tuna panini, I wanted some soup....after a full lap of Byres road we realised Marios did it all!. Food was delicious. Scotch broth was lovely, fish tea was brilliant recommendation by the server and even the salad garnish in the panini was scoffed by kid 2.

Had a take-away here & the chips were great...also the gravy was lovely.Busy place and lots of choice.

Not been for many years. Walked past and could not resist revisiting. Surprised that I recognised some of the ladies there, so they must have had good business. The menu was simple: common people's dishes no frills. So I pushed the boat out for a Mario's fish dinner. Haddock, not cod - Good!! The batter is lightly crispy, and not too airy or fluffy, and the fish was kept hot by the batter right up to the last bite - that is what the batter is for! Served with chips fried in fresh oil, small tub of peas, and well-buttered white sliced bread, and a cup of tea, what an original meal. I saw other people ordering sandwiches and paninis and other lunches as well, and all of them came very quickly and without fuss. Still the best. No frills. Practical. Good

The food was delicious and was served reasonably quickly. I've never had, or even heard of 'king rib' (we don't seem to get these in Central/Southern England!) and the waitress informed me that these weren't like the usual ribs that you'd get in TGI Fridays, for example. However, I ordered it with chips and it was a delicious meal overall. Definitely worth a visit if you're on Byres Road and want a chippy tea.

The first time I have been in a while. We both had a pannini with a side portion of delicious chippy chips. I also had a lovely cup of coffee. Can't fault it. Great place for basic, filling and delicious food. The also had a nice selection of pasta dishes that I must try. The macaroni cheese looked amazing! Can't wait to return.

If you want a fish supper on Byres are it's got to be here! Fish is cooked fresh, not left in the warming cabinet. Crucial for a perfect fish supper. Staff are great too, especially the ladies on the takeaway counter.

Really nice Scottish breakfast but pig headed poor service. Was told I couldn't swap beans on the menu for a fried tomato (it was ok last week with a different waitress) but would have to pay for the extra item (85p). Seriously? Is it too complicated to plate a half tomato rather than a scoop of beans? How NOT to run a cafe.

I've been to Mario's several times and love it. It's cheap and cheerful and you get a perfectly cooked good old fashioned fish tea. Lots of other choice on the menu too. The staff are always friendly and efficient. Great choice if you are on a limited budget and want to sit in for your dinner. Writing this review is making me want to return!

Had an excellent meal of Hake, Chips and Mushy Peas while my son had the same with Haddock. It was deliciously fresh. The staff were efficient and pleasant, I would certainly recommend this restaurant.
