Old Salty's in Glasgow City

Amazing food, amazing service will definitely be back 😋

Very friendly service. Very mediocre food. Tartar sauce was runny. The mushy peas were barely mushy. Chips were ok. Fish was ok. Batter was too light. Not a typical chippy. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Atmosphere and decoration is great.

It was my first time visiting Old Salty’s for a takeaway. Unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. The staff was not exactly welcoming and in addition to having to put up with a customer who paced up and down the restaurant, I was treated to an unobstructed view of a dirty toilet seat nestled right next to the kitchen. Most of the cooks were not wearing any gloves when preparing the food meaning one poor customer has been treated to nose scratchings. When my food was finally prepared, I asked for a bag. I was tossed a brown paper bag which made it clear that customers are expected to bag their own food. I can’t comment on the quality of the dish as it went straight in the bin. The disadvantage with ordering takeaways is that you have to pay in advance. Had I known about the restaurant’s poor sanitation, I would never have gone in.

A great local chippy/restaurant. Added to by the fact that they have their own GF batter. So people who are gluten intolerant don't have to miss out on the superb food.

Caught a posh fish supper before a gig at Oran Mor. Thank goodness we booked a table as it was buzzing. Great food and even though drinks were a wee bit slow the servers were attentive and friendly.

Really good fish and chips! Staff were very friendly and helpful.

We had wanted to go here for a while. I asked advice on the menu and a waiter gave me totally false information in telling me the smoked fish came in a casserole bake the same as the lasagne so I ordered it based on this. It did not and was the tiniest piece of fish and maybe one potato chopped in 4 and 4 sprigs of broccoli for £17! Was livid and did not want to ruin our lunch by complaining. The fish tasted nice but you would need another lunch after it. Disappointing and will not return. Maybe a wee training session in the menu for staff is needed.

Dropped into Old Salty’s on Byres Road for a Saturday morning treat, and I’m so glad I did! The Full Scottish breakfast was fantastic—great value for the price and beautifully presented. I also tried their hot chocolate with oat milk, which was surprisingly delicious. The real standout, though, was the service. Julie, who served us, had the biggest, most contagious smile that really made our day. In fact, every member of staff we met was warm, friendly, and ready to help. We did have a funny little hiccup when we mistook the salt shaker for a grinder, but the staff were quick to sort it out, and we all had a good laugh. This is a wonderful spot for a cozy Scottish breakfast, made even better by the lovely team who work there. I’ll definitely be going back soon!

Walked in here expecting to do a takeaway but ended up sitting in and it was a great decision! We got the breakfast roll with lorne and a hash brown and the macaroni cheese with chips. Both were amazing! The mac was so gooey and cheesy and the roll was absolutely lovely! Staff were attentive and the vibes were great! Defiantly recommend!

Lovely hot fish supper with a cup of tea. Great service from friendly waiting staff.

Popped in for lunch today and had a great meal. I had the scampi and chips and my wife had the homemade pie and chips. Excellent food and service. Highly recommended.

Food was not good. Fish and chips, batter solid and thick, chips soggy. And tea was cold. However the servers were very nice and helpful and replaced one of the meals. Didn't feel like having the other replaced as had been put off. Replacement fish batter was better, though chops still soggy. Server also took off price of tea from bill. So, disappointing but might give it another try sometime.

This is one of my favourite places in Glasgow to come and eat and relax the staff are wonderful and so accommodating. I was in today and the way they were very patient and welcoming to an older women, warmed my heart and made me feel warm and happy that there are people in the world like this still! I love it in here and would highly recommend this to anyone plus they have vegan o options and do delivery I feel very welcomed they take good care of the place and I think this should be a place to be always busy and bustling l. They have a lovely outdoor area perfect for summer and great selection of cocktails and wine.

Nice, quite, bright space in the busy West end.

Really friendly service. Tasty food with a good price!

Never been disappointed with anything, The Haddock and Chips is so good , Pasta dishes are beautiful and great Lager 🍺

The interior is really warm, nice and cozy, sitting on entresol was comfortable , not like usually when it's too warm . Service nice and friendly. Obly problem was food, we ordered Scottish breakfast and Benedict eggs and not only I took like 25 minutes with basically empty restaurant to get our food, the worse were eggs. When you order Benedict eggs on muffins you expect they will be running cause thats what you want, not overcooked and dry, the same with my egss on Scottish breakfast. Muffin roll was dry and bacon like gummy bears. My Scottish breakfast was ok expect egss, no the best ingredients but not the worse too. So I would give like 3 foot food. But like I mention interior is really nice , if you want to grab a drink or two, I recommend;)

Went in by chance for breakfast and we were pleasantly surprised by the friendly service and great brunch options.

Fuimos aquí por algo de comer antes de un espectáculo en el cercano Oran Mor. Nos sentamos abajo. El servicio fue atento y el personal fue muy agradable. Tomé medio tazón de mejillones en una deliciosa salsa a base de tomate. El "medio tazón" fue muy generoso. Tenía una porción de patatas fritas deliciosas. Mi esposa tenía una hamburguesa con papas fritas. No puedo culpar al restaurante en absoluto y para el West End, era una gran relación calidad-precio. ¡Gracias! ¡Volveremos!

Great service,cosy atmosphere and just what you want from a Scottish breakfast. Only negative was the coffee,but I'd happily go back again!

A cozy place with excellent national cuisine. Be sure to try Hagis. Yes the service is very good

Encantador lugar. Servicio un poco lento. La comida era bastante buena, así que la experiencia no iba tan mal hasta que vimos al chef (la zona de cocina está justo al lado de la zona de estar) tomar un trago de agua fuera de un vaso y volver a ponerlo con los vasos limpios sin lavar. YUK y sobre todo después del Covid. No es bueno.

Service is so long. Took us 45mins - 1 hr to get our food. Then desert takes another 35 mins.

Came here for family dinner. Good Gluten Free options including fish dinner. Food was delicious and service fast. Staff friendly & helpful.

Really like this place and the staff are lovely

Got sausage supper delivery the sausage was hard and the chips were inedible everything went straight in the bin the chips were definitely the worse I've ever seen tiny pieces of hard chips that looked days old will never order from here again

Great spot with gluten-free items and a nice selection of various foods such as fish and chips, Italian pasta, and chicken wings and soup.

I am leaving a negative review despite the actual food being of good quality. The restaurant charged us for items we did not have and having messaged them several times on Facebook and phoned them with no answer I cannot recommend this restaurant. Perhaps it was an error by the server but based on them completely ignoring me I can’t determine this, if they adding an item or two onto every customer that’s easily enough for a full table or two a night. We booked a table at 6pm for 3 and arrived, we were then put on a table for 6, we asked if there was confusion about us arriving at 6 and offered to move and were told don’t worry about it, several minutes later a table of 6 were crammed into a table of 4 next to us and were all quite unhappy and moaning the entire time. We ordered the stuf, 2 macaronis and a burger and then ten minutes later the server came back to us asking us to confirm we’d ordered a steak pie and we said no. The place itself is nice and clearly popular with locals as its busy inside however they do takeaways as well who all block the entrance to the tables and don’t have a system to separate the dine ins and takeaways. If you fancy items on the menu you will have a good meal but absolutely check the bill before paying or else you could be ripped off like me.

The restaurant is in a great spot the staff and atmosphere really great.The food was ok . slightly disappointed and at £40 for 2 expensive.

Had a fantastic breakfast here. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Lovely.

Very good chippie! Nice restaurant to catch up with people in

Great place. Attention was incredible. So nice waitress and good service. Food was also delicious and prices very good. Will return for sure!!

Just had an amazing eggs royale in here and my wife had classic French toast (gluten free range is great), and could have happily stayed there all day for lunch and dinner too if we didn’t have to move on and go home

Last Thursday I had a takeaway and got food poisoning The following day I sent a message on social media to inform them and got no reply I sent a copy of the msg today in an email from the same platform but it bounced back I phoned them today Saturday and spoke with a waitress/supervisor who asked me to phone back tomorrow as the restaurant was very busy! My intention was to inform them thinking they might want to review food standards…apparently not….mac ’n’ cheese + chips not recommended…

This place is a bit of a tourist trap, it’s not a traditional chippy. On the expensive side and quality of food not great. I paid £30 for cod, chips, curry sauce, and a kids portion of chips and fish goujons , and x2 drinks. Batter on fish was too thick and stodgy on the inside. Fish very crumbly. My daughter’s fish bites were over cooked. We were placed up stairs and forgotten about, had to come down with my toddler daughter to remind them we wanted to order. Also not given a children’s menu. It was busy and there looked like there were some regulars in there that the staff were very attentive to. Overall it was an OK experience, although I wouldn’t recommend it to people and probably won’t go back unless it was for a cheaper lunch option.

Best fish and chips in Glasgow!staff are all lovely and very attentive

Decent fish and chips and steak pies etc

Lovely cafe with fresh, flavorful vegetarian options! I swapped vegan sausage for avocado, and it was perfect alongside the roasted tomatoes, beans, and poached eggs. Big thanks to Anna for the warm and friendly service.

Great fish & chips, fresh fish makes all the difference. All our servers were pleasant and cheery and lovely decor and atmosphere. Not your ordinary chip shop

Plate of the day sea bass with potato chips and an awesome bisque... it was incredible, no joke for a michelin star. I think they should put it permanently on the list.

The passion the owners and the team have for outstanding service and delivering the best food possible has to be the best not only in Scotland but the whole UK. The best menu and most delicious fish and chips you will ever eat. Well done team - You're our family's favourite place to eat. Thank you for hosting our twins birthday party and for accommodating the 3 extra stragglers that joined last minute. 😎 Very cool

Popped in for breakfast taken upstairs….stained ripped chairs, Luke warm coffee, breakfast nothing special poached eggs not runny a real let down to be honest.

Quite expensive for the quality/price ratio, mainly fried food and a side dish without sauce

I paid money for a macaroni cheese supper expecting quality from your establishment. Nae need for words what the hells that 🤢 If there was pasta in there before, it has now turned to sludge 👍 🤢

When I was on holiday in Glasgow I went here each day for dinner and the food was delicious. They even looked after me with my food allergy.

Lovely place, food was delicious and the staff were very attentive, polite and so nice! P.s. hubby didn't find our tickets 🙄 but we got in anyway. Name was on the list lol.

Best fish and chips we’ve had in years

Popped in for breakfast. Lovely place, really friendly staff and the breakfast was spot on. Will definitely visit again.

Least relaxing dining experience I've had. Restaurant was noisey, and staff seemed hyper, constantly asking 'is everything ok?' Quite clear they wanted you to scoff the food, pay, and get out.

The team here are amazing, super friendly and full of chat!

Nice, relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff. Good selection of food with the seafood stew being a real find, very tasty. 👍

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING… we had booked out a table for 25 people for my partners dad’s 80th birthday. The staff went above and beyond for us and we would definitely recommend. We have been eating here for over a year and the food and staff have always been amazing. I would especially like to say Ella (the lady I was in contact with throughout the whole booking) was just amazing! All family and friends, including myself absolutely loved the food and again the staff are just amazing!

Small room on two floors. Pleasant environment, not noisy even if the place was full. Good food. Very kind staff.

Great coffee, great breakfast, lovely staff. I also saw a famous person!

Food was amazing personally i enjoyed the Bolognese the most, Staff were outstanding and very attentive with no issues whatsoever.

Been a regular of this place,food is great and huge portions. However,extremely disappointed with the treatment last night.we waited 25 mins for a table to free up (as we liked the place),got seated,bit of a delay in taking our order,food came and as usual was plentiful and delicious,but when i ordered a coffee ,the manageress came over and told us they needed the table for a booking and to hurry us along,even though i was having my coffee and there was still food on the table,which she was offering us as a doggy bag!....disgraceful conduct and customer service,she should be ashamed. If i had to wait 25 mins for a table and was not notified of any time restrictions or later bookings,i should be entitled to enjoy my meal and not be harrassed out the door. I paid the bill,which had a sneaky 10% service charge added (so beware in case you also tip them) and left and will seriously reconsider visiting there again. Disappointed and left a bad taste in my mouth and spoiled,what was a good meal up till then.

The best fish supper I have ever eaten fish was fresh and the butter very late

We ordered fish suppers, one with hake fish, and the other with haddock. Both were really really good, served with chips, salad and tartar sauce. The best fish&chips in Glasgow!!! The Australian waitress was very helpful, both with the menu and with coming up for a plan for the rest of our night out. 10/10, would recommend to anyone 🙌

Fab place fab food lovely staff , Highly recommend

The fish and chips were juicy and very filling but they weren’t too my liking because it was very salty and the food was way too much. The peas were good though.

After fantastic food and customer service more recently I’m disappointed to say that our Pakora and my Mac n cheese was a let down. This was a big order and the family all said the pakora was dry,heavy & inedible,the Mac wasn’t as good as I’ve had it,not cheesy,broken up & overcooked. I wouldn’t order pasta again,I don’t think it travels well. The great bits are the fish suppers, and a thumbs up for the sausage. We will order again from Salty’s as I’m sure this was just a one off blip.

Fabulous place, great atmosphere, staff and service, friendly and don't get me started on the food! Chicken curry pie and steak pie.Well worth a visit

My favourite chippie in Glasgow. No fuss food, simply delicious. Portions are very generous, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. My only "but" it's that is so good it tends to be packed, so some background noise is to be expected. Go for a full supper and if you feel reckless try the caramel cake with butterscotch sauce. Every calorie is worth it.

Everything first class 👍will be back 😋

Amazing everything was first class xx

Stepped for lunch, had steak pie and it was excellent. Service was very good, wait staff were attentive and work hard. Prices were reasonable for west end.

Friendly place to sit and have a relaxing meal , would recommend fish and chips, steak pie, and carbonara was delicious especially with red onion and Parmasan foccacia, Lovely meal.

Excellent experience. Our first visit and certainly won’t be our last! The staff, although kept busy were very attentive and pleasant. Lovely people. The cocktails were terrific and they were as reasonably priced as the food. Can’t rate it highly enough.

Lovely fresh food served by very pleasant young lady. Happy to recommend it.

Great service, superb food. An address to recommend with your eyes closed.

We had a great lunch here, the lentil soup was amazing as was the service!

Great food, love the steak pie, always great service and a regular place the we visit

The pizza was the most tasty! The fish was good and was perfect with the traditional malt vinegar. The service was friendly!

Bland, overpriced, bad service. The fish and chips was a 3/10 (passable but overpriced), and the chicken burger was the worst I’ve ever had. I’ve eaten out thousands of times but I’ve never felt compelled to post a review until now. That’s how bad that burger was.

Great food, good music and excellent service

Had a lovely breakfast, good coffee, and friendly service :)

We were greeted with a warm welcome, asked if we had dined here before, we answered it was our first time, told we were in for a treat as the breakfast was great. Taken to our seat at the balcony upstairs. Then left unattended with no service to order while the same waitress took 2 tables orders that arrived after we had sat down. At this point we stood up and left explaining why as we left. Yeah, what a treat

You get the same thing every time at Old Salty's, great food and good service from polite staff, We visit every few weeks and definitely worth the visit if you haven't been.

Reliably good and with a friendly welcome.

Incredible seafood! I don’t normally eat scallops but these ones were to die for. The sauce for the muscles I’m still thinking about it was so delicious. The staff were all so gorgeous and attentive.

Great food, lovely staff, clean environment.

Great breakfast and quick service from friendly staff.

Lovely food and staff were very helpful

Came a bit too early at 11am as their fish and chip was not yet available sadly. Tried the egg benedict instead, it was great. Most of the seatings is on the floor above so people with accessibility issue might find it an issue.

£50 bill for haddock that was clearly frozen. Not fresh and so greasy. Will not be back.

Great little dive that had a small mix of things. Took the servers advise and had a great pasta dish.

The service was fine. Unfortunately the food was not good. I won't come back here.

The staff is very pleasant and welcomes you with a smile 😁. Their fish & chips are plentiful and the fries are the size you've never seen before 😅😋. Good address 👍 where French people are welcome (they even make efforts to translate if we have difficulty 🤭).

Beautiful restaurant with excellent seafood pasta (Mussels and spaghetti was sublime!), lovely focaccia and friendly service! They offer takeaway, sitting in or delivery. The area upstairs is really nice for dining in, and there are some tables outside for al fresco dining. Extensive cocktail menu with good prices too. We'll definitely come back

The place serves nice food with a pleasant atmosphere, however, being charged a service charge for 2 people without being told ruined the experience especially when the tip I gave was ontop of this unknown charge : /

Best fish and chips in Glasgow!

Very friendly staff, quick service and nice food

I tried haggis here today for the first time and it was a LOT better than I thought it was going to be. But then again, I’m still not convinced that what I tried was the real thing though. Despite the fact that the one I tried was deep fried, it still doesn’t look quite like the images which come up on Google when you search for it. Is what I tried just the/a commercialised version of it?? 🤔

They close at 10 not 11, and we arrived around 9:45. The dining room was closed by then but they packed up a nice serving of fish and chips for my mate and I to carry out

Waited for very very long time just to get a seat, even though I could see plenty of empty tables that just needed cleaning up. Couldn’t help but feel that me being Indian had something to do with it. I’ve eaten out a lot, even in places like London, and never felt ignored like this. It just didn’t sit right with me. After feeling ignored for so long, I just ended up leaving. Places need to treat everyone the same, no matter where they’re from. Won’t be coming back until they fix this. Very disappointed.

Food was amazing, and was delivered quickly. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Will come again

Absolutely amazing food, definitely worth a visit if you are in Glasgow

Food very bland got overcharged

Excellent dine in chip shop in Glasgows West end

Fish and chips were really good, the only negative was the tea was cold
