Queen Street Tavern in Angus

Me and my partner where up in Forfar for the week with the kids(6 and 7),my partner used to work in this establishment in her teenage years..the welcome was fantastic and the food was amazing..the chef even came out and has a chat with us...We'll done the Queen Street 👌👏👏

David who served was fantastic, food was perfect. Would not hesitate to recommend. My husband had steak pie, and I had fish and chips. Both were superb.

The worst curry i have eaten full of tomatoes and not very curry tasting at all, rice was a blob, small steak pie was nice.

It is divided into two environments, a pub area for drinking beers and alcoholic beverages and the other area for enjoying food. The waitress is very attentive and is attentive to customers all day. They have dishes of the day that consist of a bowl of soup with a piece of bread and a complete sandwich or sandwich.

We had a beautiful meal last night,a party of 11 and everything was faultless,the staff are really friendly and efficient,well done to you all 👌

Brilliant food, good laugh with the staff will be back next time we are in the area

Staff are Magic. Very pleasant. Food is braw. Go and enjoy!😎👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Bar staff worked like clockwork very busy Great boozer

Lunch in a very nice restaurant with good options on menu. Catered for myself and my partner and guide dog in training.

Had a lovely lunch. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Toilets very clean. Ten out of ten to the cleaner

What a warm welcome from very friendly staff. Food was excellent 👌 I will definitely be back.

Food and service is always top notch.

Attended for the Sunday carvery… a little disappointed. It used to be 10/10 The steak pie had no chunks of meat it was all “pulled pork” like consistency but pretty much 80% gravy , half the roast potatoes were burnt and had no potato in them, Yorkshire puddings burnt, cold, left out for a while very stodgy. One member of our group had macaroni cheese instead of the carvery and it was prepared badly due the huge amount of oils that was sitting on top of the dish from the cheese, it tasted like tinned macaroni with extra cheese on top again nothing like it used to be. Overheard another customer asking if the gravy was made from the juices from the meat and she was told it’s just gravy granules (it used to be made from meat juices and was lovely!) good points - waitress was very kind, polite and helpful, the gammon tasted nice, the puddings were good.. over all the standard has came down a lot

Thank you for a lovely meal My husband & I came for our Anniversary on 17th of march . 10/10

First time back to the Queen Street tavern since re-openig for lunch. Not a massive menu but I think this is the way to go as the quality of the food was first class. better quality than quantity. The waitress was very friendly and good at her job its obvious the restaurant is needing a bit of TLC but there is definitely improvement since my last visit. I wish the new landlord every success.

For the meals I would give 4.5 for the bar good service always welcoming worth a visit- looks like another great pub will be closing its doors this week. Now under new management. Hopefully it is getting there looking promising.

Lovely lunch, had garlic mushrooms then prawn salad. Fantastic

We came on a Sunday and the "all you can eat" buffet was wonderful!

Absolutely fantastic, we were in there with our uncle, a wheelchair user, the staff were great and very helpful, food excellent and very reasonably priced. Many thanks 👍👍

Was there for a funeral, slow service for tea/ coffee and sausage rolls were offered after we were finished .

Very good food at a very reasonable price. Plenty of choice and good size portions. Polite and friendly staff.

Had a really nice 3 course meal at Queen Streets Christmas Party tonight. Food was lovely, portions very generous and food that was meant to be hot was piping hot and food that was chilled was exactly that. Service was really good, we were looked after really well by the staff. I would highly recommend this place.

Chicken & rice soup Prawn cocktail Steak pie Brisket Christmas menu Perfectly cooked lunch

As newcomers to Forfar we popped in for lunch today and we're not disappointed. Hadn't booked but managed to get a table easily. Great table service from the 2 lovely ladies (who never stop) and the food (esp stake pie) was lush. Option of several dessert pies which we both succumbed to the temptation of. 1st time ever seen a Haggis n cheese panini so had to have and didn't disappoint

Great deal on the 2 & 3 course menu, lovely home cooked food.

Great food, value and staff in a wa friendly atmosphere.

Good food and friendly service.

Love this place, food amazing service is great. Make sure you go on a Friday or Sunday for the all you can eat buffet and carvery.

As usual nice atmosphere ,great beer

Wonderful quality wholesome food with excellent service!

Excellent service and good food

Excellent food and service was superb. Couldn't fault it. 👍

Very friendly and professional service from Mine Host Sharon ably assisted by Vicki. High standard of Covid regulations in place with great selection of beers and wines.

Amazing food , served quick aswell

Lovely lunch at the QST. Very friendly staff.. Would recommend

Guinness very nice, lager not so

We are regular customers who love the sunday carvery and the odd lunch time trip to Queen Street. Sharon and staff can't do enough for you. With the recent COVID restrictions they have everything planned out well and with hand gels on each table and a one way system in operation. Food is fresh, hot and plentiful. You really can't go wrong with a visit here.

Great service friendly staff amazing food

Nice evening , very well done for social distance.staff made sure everyone was where they should be 👍👍pity we didn't notice the seating at the back till we were leaving or we'd have been outside in the sunshine 🌞😂.

Great local pub staff all very friendly

Great pub the best in forfar for food

What a difference since last visit and change of management! We enjoyed a delicious two course lunch here. Ample portions (one small) served piping hot. We each had the very tasty steak pie with baby potatoes, carrots and peas followed by the now famous sticky toffee pudding (the sponge is so light!) which is served with either cream or icecream. Friendly waitress, great value and most important good food! Only downside is old fashioned decor - could do with refurbishment. That said, would certainly recommend ..... and our compliments to the chefs ‍‍

Nice lunch with friends would go again

Visited with friends on a Friday evening for the buffet.Great selection of mains eg beef olives,mac and cheese,fish cakes,chicken curry,etc.Our fav was the steak pie which was OUTSTANDING.Finished off with a delish sweet.The only downside for us was that the bar only had 2 bottles of prosecco in stock leading to us leaving earlier than planned!

Food and service was first class

Having been recommended to try the Carvery we went last Sunday and have to say it was Excellent, 2 courses for £12.95. Choice of 3 roast, I had beef and gammon and both were tender and delicious, nice choice of fresh vegetables and 2 kinds of potatoes, I also tried the steak pie which was delicious. We had the hot dessert, sticky toffee pudding and custard. Excellent service and lovely staff..will definitely be back.

Amazing steak pie well worth a visit menu 1st class and staff very cheerful just what you need xx

Great little place with a brilliant atmosphere staff and food were lovely, I went with a group of friends and I loved it so much I'm going to taking my family ,very reasonable price for the quality of food :) ,I suggest getting your dessert quickly as it can get busy

Had a lovely lunch recently at Queen Street Tavern! We had mac n cheese & chicken curry, chips and boiled rice and both were very tasty! Well worth a visit !!! They have also a Friday night buffet & Sunday buffet breakfast which is on our list to try !!!

Stopped off for a bite of lunch in this lovely pub. Lounge Bar was warm and friendly and the staff were excellent. Great choice of food, great value and tasted lovely. Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We went here for the sunday carvery the food is amazing we had so much carvery we didnt have space for our dessert so one of the staff boxed it up so we could take it home, I would highly recommend I will definitely be back

Just visited for the Friday night buffet. What a lovely meal. There are about 6 choices of the main course. Along with veg, potatoes, chips and rice. The desserts were delicious with a very good choice also. Very good value for the price. Will definitely be back.

Been a while since visiting Queen Street Tavern but enjoyed it the same as always. Good food, good service and reasonable prices.

Won a facebook competition for the Friday night buffet and visited tonight. Was not disappointed...it was amazing. Lots to choose from and very tasty. Well defo be back. Yummy banoffee pie for dessert which was included too.

It's OK normal pub food nothing special

Nae music, nae pool table and yer pints are absolute stinking

I had the steak pie, and was stuffed. Worth the money for sure.

Went for the Sunday carvery. So glad we did. Succulent ham, beef and turkey, with their famous steak pie ( I always doubt claims like that, but this time I have to say that it was fabulous) plenty veg, loved the cauliflower cheese, and it was all you could eat. I was well stuffed. Beautiful sweets to be had. Simple and delicious . Lovely staff, nice surroundings. Second chance, recommended. Go try.

What a great local pub!! Friendly. Good prices and a great atmosphere. Will return!!

Great Sunday Carvery at a very affordable price - great food and cosy atmosphere.

Had an excellent lunch. 2 courses for £8.25 or 3 courses for £10.45. Very good value. Homemade soup was very good as was the Steak pie & the banoffe pie. Portions were quite big. My only small thing wrong was that the chips could have been cooked a wee bit longer but it won't stop me going back. You can't beat these prices. The staff were very nice & attentive. Such a shame that there weren't more people in especially it being Saturday

Fantastic brilliant Food excellent staff

Great place with wide range of food and drinks along with comfortable surrounds.

Needing some tlc but staff were friendly

Read great reviews about the food here so we decided to try as they are dog friendly. We asked for a bowl of water for the pup and it arrived in a proper dog bowl. We ordered the haggis balls starter between us and a small homemade mince pie, beans and chips each. The haggis balls were nice enough although the batter was soft, but came with beautiful bread and a salad. The pie beans and chips were rather tasteless and dry I’m afraid and we were given a full portion rather than the small portion we asked for. An honest mistake. We had to ask for salt, pepper and vinegar and no napkins were supplied. Service was swift and the young lady serving us always had a smile. Second chances are always given so we will return for a meal at a later date.

Very nice lunch , great menu , dog friendly in the bar , great beer , will be back soon , would have been 5 🌟 if we had a bowl of water for our dog lol

After previous management and their inability to manage and get good cooks in place it's great to see the new management has reopened the restaurant and food is now back to (if not better) the excellent standard it was... Good Surroundings relaxed and great staff .

Veeeery tasty food, friendly atmosphere. I was there only two times and I wish I could come back.

As a young single guy in Forfar it’s hard to find a pub with a friendly atmosphere that is not cliquey however since I have started going here I have met so many good people, the bar staff are friendly customer oriented and can’t help enough, I have not once gone in and felt unwelcome, it’s always a good laugh no matter when you go in, the quiz nights are also a brilliant laugh Xmas eve and Hogmanay the pub was packed, everyone laughing and enjoying them selves, brilliant choice of both draft beers and ciders and an excellent choice of spirits and shots and all at very reasonable competitive prices, overall this is a brilliant pub and I wouldn’t choose to go for a pint anywhere else!!

What has happened here??? Just recently returned to Forfar after a few years away - and this place used to be a proper comfortable pub. Good atmosphere, freindly staff always welcoming.... But now! The atmosphere is terrible. The bar staff seemed to be more interested in chatting & laughing to each other than serving customers. I stood at the bar for several minutes until one woman who was sitting at the other end of the bar chatting away on her phone, raised her eyes, got up to eventually serve me my pint. I actually felt guilty that I had to interrupt her conversation to be served. After that she went back to her corner and resumed her phone call. I only drank half of my pint and left it and walked out. Not a friendly place anymore. Oh one other thing. The lager was warm and flat!

Tried to book for family meal but was told the restaurant is closed,(apparently for over two weeks now). I've since found out that not one but two chefs have walked out!

Having visited recently can't say we felt welcome at all . Food was sub standard and not presented very well.

Fantastic food and service. Family atmosphere. Reminded me of meals while growing up! Great crumble and custard

Well what can I say food was great steak pie is fantastic and homemade macaroni is brilliant wish we didn't have starters though we were stuffed.

This was my first visit in around 4 years. The lack of customers on a Sunday evening should have been a clue. The food was ok but only the potatoes could be described as hot, the ham was nice though. My pint was barely full with too large a head. We weren't asked if we wanted any more drinks or a coffee. Fine for the price and might try again but needs more attention to detail and customer service.

Cozy wee pub - not sure about restaurant side.

Visited for Sunday carvery, very disappointed Yorkshire puddings cold as sitting open with no heat.Roast potatoes and chips luke warm.Meat was cut with person-holding the meat with gloved hand ,again all meats luke warm. The young waitress asked how we enjoyed the meal when my husband was paying the bill, unfortunately replied ok,as the family were that disappointed we just wanted to leave .Sorry will not return.It would be nice if meat was handled properly with utensils and not man handled with blue gloves.Never seen meat cut in this way ever.Very poor example of a carvery .Poor display ,chips and some roast potatoes mixed together ,only one small helping of cauliflower cheese left ,carrots over cooked and broccoli the only other veggie ,hot water trays don’t work.Dessert told to stand at display and some one will serve you ,poor choice and very poor customer service.At least 2 of company didn’t have dessert.Really should have complained at time .Hope lessons are learned from this review.

Nice place great food very nice staff very clean and tidy

Ok so a solo carvery but made to feel welcome as soon as you enter the pub.

The bar of the queens street tavern, has pulled in a lot of new customers , from one particular bar in the town, before the new management . This is due to the atmosphere and banter in the bar, created by the 'new' customers AND the bar staff. I thought that customer engagement and building report, would be a prime directive that would be encouraged , if not mandated by any management. Rather than listen to one prudish indivual, listen to the LOYAL customers . If Highladdie2018 does not like the Atmosphere and banter, no-one is forcing him/her to frequent the bar. One individual who may have an axe to grind with specific bar staff does not represent the majority of customers . To all - get yourself into the bar and have a great laugh with the customers and the staff!!!!

Had a nice lunch here. Would recommend.

Excellent service and food. Sunday Carvery has a good variety of meat and vegetables and is excellent value for money. Also has a nice varied menu throughout the week.

Good atmosphere and the food is good. Staff are very friendly and smaller portions are available for senior citizens. Special menu for seniors at reduced rates. Main menu has lots of choice.

Well, after a big push on publicity and advertising in the local newspaper, the Queen Street Tavern should be pulling the punters in, or so you would think? The food and menu is more or less the same usual stuff, no change there!

Lovely friendly atmosphere and fantastic food

Nice Sunday Roast. Good choice of puddings.

Great staff,food not up to usual standard,m ust ve change of chef,lasagne tasteless,

Called in for lunch and were very surprised to see hardly any diners - this place used to be very busy for meals and had a good reputation... but not now!

What a shame, we are regular customers to the buffet. Our first experience of eating out for Xmas dinner, at a place we go to regularly, and enjoy. What a disappointment, the starter, pate had been sitting out and was beginning to discolour, the main turkey dinner, was awful, looked like a microwave dinner with two new potatoes, one roast potato, and over boiled watery veg, a very fried Yorkshire pudding!!, with turkey and a grey mound of what was meant to be stuffing, it was soon bad. The husband's favourite, Trifle, he didn't eat it, even though he was hungry. What happened to the usual quality we get, the whole basis of us choosing our Xmas dinner there. Too upset to make a complaint and ruin the rest of the day and the waiting staff's day.

Brilliant food. Macaroni and cheese amazing

Went here for a family meal and left feeling very disappointed ... was here a few months ago and the food was really good? The steak pie was full of gristle,there was a slice of meat in a dark gravy with a very strange texture ... maybe from a tin? The curry was meant to be a Rogan josh and definitely was not ... bitter and dry chicken and in a gravy not a curry sauce... the macaroni cheese was all dried up with no sauce what so ever ...I could go on and on ... it was awful.... all of the desserts were bought in ... stodgy and unpleasant ..... the waitress asked is how our meal was and we did say it wasn’t good ... she apologised but what can they do it’s not them that’s cooking ... this place has really gone down hill ... very below standard ... defiantly shouldn’t be charging good money for this... will not be back

Have to add to the cacophony of complaints regarding the Xmas meal. We were first sitting at 1pm. The place was full and the atmosphere convivial. However, once the food started arriving the Xmas spirit left us. The pate was greying at the edges and the soup was watery and insipid. My “turkey” fell apart easily but had no taste whatsoever. The stuffing slice was over cooked and had the texture of rubber. Washed out veg and spongy Yorkshire pudding (with a turkey dinner??) completed the horror. My partners “steak” had clearly been cut from a pre cooked roast and hadn’t been anywhere near a griddle. Pasty and grey, it was swamped with gravy. My cheeseboard was a small side plate with clearly just unwrapped prices of insipid soap like cheese. The trifle was a slice of awfulness in presentation and tastelessness. We couldn’t wait to leave. Thankfully, I was cooking on Boxing Day for the extended family so our festive season wasn’t entirely ruined. But we won’t be back. Such a shame.

We to were unfortunate enough to have our Xmas meal here and fully confirm what kay1971 has said it was one of the worst meals we have ever had.

We pre booked a table for 5 and preordered from a set menu ,our sitting was 3pm .We arrived about 2.55pm our table wasn't ready and we were told not to pleasantly to go to the bar ,we were there for about 20 mins and couldn't even get a drink as no one was serving .Once we were seated and the food arrived the nightmare really began ,starters arrived and weren't too bad ,then came the main course ,it was supposed to be slow roasted Aberdeen Angus Sirlion ,but apart from being only slightly warm it was pale tough and full of fat and girsle ,more like it had been boiled rather than roasted ,couldn't cut it with the cutlery provided which was non to clean ,accompanying this mess was one small piece of boiled potatoe which was hard ,2 small roast potatoes ,3 small slices of carrot and 3 of the tiniest Brussels sprouts I have ever seen and a Yorkshire pudding . On to the sweet 2 X trifle a runny mess of jelly topped with a fatty glutinous substance ,2xcheesecake with whipped cream ,the cream was from a can and about the size of a pound coin but it was large enough to hide the cheesecake ,1 X cheese and biscuits ,a lump of rubbery processed cheese and 3 soft biscuits ,absolutely ridiculous .Was supposed to finish with tea coffee and mints which were never offered ,think they should change the name to Dick Turpins as at £38.95 a head this was daylight robbery .

we unfortunately booked here for xmas,where can i start,the place was dirty,tables were not even set,nobody on the bar,waited over an hour for all i can descibe as the worst meal we have ever sat down to-meat was worse than the cheapest grade you can get in farmfoods!-totally unedible,yorkshire puddings were deep fried!!!,did not stay to even sample the puddings which looked cheap shop bought rubbish-can safely say we will never be back,this was once a very good pub with an excellent carvery,it has not just went down hill but more like it has fallen off a cliff!!!

Great place for a pub lunch, and their Sunday Carvery is excellent. Well recommend it

Stopped off for lunch as had been recommended by friends, arrived at 1405 to be told we may not get served as they closed at 3.. staff were very side, overheard one saying to the chef she couldn't be bothered and this was very apparent.. ordered drinks and other patrons were leaving at this point so the door got locked, again I couldn't understand this as according to the website and staff they were open until 3, had literally just looked at the menu when the waitress asked "do you know what you want" ordered 2 panini, they came and just tasted of nothing considering they were supposed to be Cajun chicken, the chips were half cooked and the waitresses attitude definitely put us off.. ended up paying £12.70 for a couple of chips, bite of a panini n half a pint of coke each.. certainly wouldn't recommend or be back!

Great location up a side street. Fantastic choice of food and great quality. Brilliant ambiance. Dog friendly well worth a visit

Went in for Sunday car very.Went to carvery hotplate a member of staff put some beef on the plate I was about to take for my lunch to go on.the plate went to the bar after my lunch I saw a dog eating off the plate how disgusting .outrages a dogs dinner photo shows a silver bowl for dog food not used.yuk..

Had a lively lunch ,friendly staff
