Railway Inn in Falkirk

We had another fab evening for our annual presentation dinner in the Platform Lounge, with great food and friendly service. Huge thanks to the owners and all the hard working staff who ensured the evening was another great success!

54 pensioners attended a wonderful afternoon at The Railway, wonderful food, great entertainment and the friendly staff went over & above to please everyone...Well done all!

Called in for a drink and glad we did we ended up having Dinner and the atmosphere the staff and the food were excellent. Definitely recommend this clean and pleasant pub for a drink or to eat.

Thoroughly impressed with The Railway Inn in every aspect! We called up fairly last minute looking to pop in for food. The staff were accommodating & friendly. They managed to secure the last table in the lounge for us! Everyone we dealt with was lovely. A real community forward/family feel about the place. (Note: I normally take photos of the food but forgot in this instance, apologies). We ordered: Starters Soup of the day (broccoli & blue cheese) Southern fried chicken tenders Bruschetta Mains Steak Pie Catch of the Day (Breaded fish (haddock) & chips) My partner enjoyed the soup (definitely homemade) which was served with a warm, soft roll. The southern fried chicken tenders were tasty & arrived piping hot. The garlic mayo served with it was delicious as well! The bruschetta was nice but (and this may be a personal preference so nothing negative towards the restaurant!) I prefer the tomato topping cold & the garlic bread warm (both the garlic bread & topping were warm) + a little basil through the topping would have rounded this off nicely. Now, on to the mains... no other word for them other than EXCEPTIONAL!! Absolutely huge portions for the money and everything arrived piping hot & fresh out of the kitchen. The chips were definitely homemade (and very nostalgic of the type I had growing up!), the fry on the fish was perfect (I opted for breaded instead of battered), wonderfully crisp and not oily/greasy whatsoever. A generous portion of peas on the plate (which had been tossed in butter (major plus points!) and another surprising touch that added to the home cooked feel of the dishes) + homemade tartar sauce on the side for dipping. My partner enjoyed his steak pie as well which had nice big chunks of steak, proper gravy (not watery & full of flavour!), a proper piece of puff pastry (didn't disintegrate in to loads of crumbs and wasn't stale either!), lots of chips & perfectly cooked veg (cauliflower, broccoli & turnip). By this point we were unbelievably stuffed. We even felt bad leaving the handful of chips on our plate at the end, they were just so good (but physically no room left to put them anywhere!) All throughout, the staff were incredibly attentive and kind, welcomed us in and made sure we were well looked after. All of this food, plus 2 beers and a soft drink, came to £51!! Blown away by the value considering the quality and quantity of the food being served. We will absolutely be returning to The Railway Inn in the near future as well as recommending it to anyone & everyone we possibly can! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

My new fave place, some would say a little expensive but its worth every penny, staff very friendly, food piping hot and delicious there was so much on my plate i couldnt manage a dessert lol, i had the best steak pie ever, Gammon steak looked delicious as well so im going for that at the end of the month and i will defo be having dessert lol.

Me and my friends decided to go out to watch the football we got a taxi to the railway inn and went in to watch however we did not expect to be refused at the bar even after showing valid id they then proceeded to make us leave the premises because we did not buy a drink this makes no sense to me as if you won’t sell us how can we buy one. Anyway this meant we had to try find our way to another pub luckily for us the crown is right next door and has ten times the atmosphere and a pint for only £3.90.

Had a delicious lunch yesterday, great choice, piping hot. Service was prompt and staff friendly, will definitely be back

This was out 1st time here, had been recommended by family members . We were lucky enough to get the last available table. We were greeted and served by a very polite and exceptionally well mannered young man, and a friendly chatty lady. The room was very clean and comfortable. The starters looked amazing and tasted even better ( 1x nachos & 1x pate) Our mains were probably the best restaurant food we've had in quite a while . It was all home made ,hot, plentiful, fresh and extremely delicious. ( the chunky chips alone were worth the visit) (Chicken, cheese bacon burger & steak pie) The price was very reasonable. We will definitely be back and will certainly recommend to friends and family . Thank you

Best lasagne in Falkirk. I tell everyone about this place. Excellent value for money,great food & friendly staff. Will be back soon again.

we hired the platform lounge for a surprise 60th. we have previously used the hall for a surprise 30th and thinks it’s a brilliant hall for a function. the decor is modern and clean. the buffet food tasted great and the team working on the night were so helpful and nice. they offered to set the hall up in advance if we dropped the stuff off and the price to hire the hall was reasonable. They also provide a DJ you pay so you aren’t stressing about the other details. we had a great night and i’m sure for any further functions we have in the family we will use. thanks so much from the Steins

Best food in central Scotland all ways cooked to perfection tomahawk steak is out standing with all the trimmings

Staff efficient and welcoming. Good value for money. Food really good. Nothing any trouble. I would recommend.

I booked the Railway Inn as I had heard how good the meals were. I messaged them as I live in Guernsey and was coming home for my 60th Birthday. All the correspondence was answered very quickly and they were great to deal with on the phone before the event. When we arrived they had everything all set out and were very quick in serving the 25 of us due to sending everyone's order a few days previously. I can only say the food was generous portions and piping hot. The steak pie was delicious. I would certainly recommend The Railway Inn to anyone looking for great staff, excellent prices and of course the best staff. Thanks again to all the staff for their very attentive service and compliments to the Chef for the delicious food.

My new favourite restaurant, our meal was delicious, lovely pleasant service from staff advisable and friendly made very welcome 🤗 thank you for a lovely night x

Very welcoming staff and great pub food. We had our grandchildren with us and the staff made sure they were catered for first. Will definitely return.

Decided to drop in for a spot of lunch today as we had heard the restaurant was good, and we were not disappointed. We ordered a chicken burger and macaroni cheese. The burger was great: the breast of chicken was huge, but still juicy, the salad and coleslaw were really nice and the chips were excellent. The macaroni also hit the spot: properly made with a decent cheese sauce. Large portions, friendly, efficient service - we'll be back.

Food was fantastic, staff were excellent, would recommend here, the steak was cooked perfectly, the sides were great as well.

Went for my 40th birthday and the food was yummy. The staff were friendly and helpful and I would highly recommend the railway in. For food and drinks.

Had a lovely dinner again. Food was great. Staff pleasant. Never been disappointed. We'll worth a visit 😉

Best pub in the local area by miles, staff are all lovely and the food is amazing. Jackie and Graham are always so inviting, highly recommended pub to visit ♥️

Excellent food, large portions, friendly welcome on arrival and good value for money . Will be back next visit to the Kelpies

Just had a take out meal for two.Very big portion and very delicious ,hard to beat anywhere.Highly recommend.

Had a santa experince booked at another venue and got cancelled due to being in level 3. This place is running a "breakfast with santa experience", which is against current governement restrictions as they are in level 3. I hate to bring a business down at this time, especially hospitality businesses as they have had it tough over the last couple of months, however, its things like this that are going to ruin it for not only themselves but other hospitality businesses, not to mention the health risks that are associated, from no social distancing to singing

Enjoyed the meal there although waited 40mins for it to arrive, even though the place was empty. A lack of atmosphere made worse by no background music. It was like waiting for the party to start.

Great food and nice staff. Chicken and rib combo was excellent. Dessert wasn’t bad either 😜Keep up the good work Jackie, Graham and staff.

Visit here on a regular basis. Not a bad word to say about the food. Sometimes need to wait that little bit longer for the food to arrive, but I appreciate its because it's all fresh made. Highly recommend to anyone wanting some good pub...

Once again the railway inn and platform inn does not disappoint the food is amazing huge portions and always piping hot. The staff are wonderful would highly recommend this place to eat

Have been going for weekly visits to the railway for a while. Was gutted during lockdown missing out. Since going back I can honestly say have loved every minute wether for food or quiet drink. One of the best places I have been in for...

Took my son here for lunch on route to nearby alpaca trekking experience, food was lovely and great value as portions were big. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would defo recommend

Brilliant singer great entertainer. Food was fab. Service fantastic. Drinks very reasonable. Only problem. When we tried to leave all the coatrails had collapsed. Took us ages to find our coats.

23 of us visited here for my mums 80th birthday meal. From the moment I emailed to enquire the service was great with Sharon making sure everything was planned to perfection. The service during the meal was outstanding and we enjoyed every single plate! Thanks...

Went here for food with my family, food portions were large and of excellent quality, service was excellent and they had a large rabge of drinks available, overall a good experience.

Friendly staff, great food and very welcoming. We'll definitely be back. Well worth a visit for you too. I will highly recommend.

Wife and i took our family for dinner...12 of us in total....nothing was too much trouble for the staff..they were very attentive.Great with the grandkids too. Food was awesome...as usual....looking forward to our next meal at the Railway.:-)

Catered for 30 people. Closed lounge to public . Set tables etc . All meals pre ordered. ALL guests thought the choice was great and everything was served on time, and meals were hot and presented well. Staff are excellent here and were exceptional on...

Had a very enjoyable lunch here 11/11/19 we were five all had different meals all served promptly and hot. Lovely staff and very friendly atmosphere, would certainly recommend although not for big celebrations.

Whenever I read some of the reviews I have just experienced I truly begin to wonder if some of the reviewers visited the same establishment! This is truly a little 'nugget' of a place for well prepared food. NOT the kinda place for your wedding...

For several months my friend and I have visited a broad selection of restaurants in the Stirling, Falkirk area for lunch. The Railway is by far the best we have visited from the well priced excellent food to the warm welcome and great service from Julie and the rest of the staff,there's no better place to go.

Brilliant pub grub. All had something different from the menu and all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Also great service.

Good food,pleasant staff,nice relaxing atmosphere.

My go to meal when I’m out for lunch is a BLT and this is the best I’ve ever eaten. Excellent staff and great value for money. Would recommend.

The food was very good,staff were very good,atmosphere nice and relaxing.

We meet our friends every Tuesday for lunch so are always looking for new venues, we have dined here several times which says a lot, service is good, food wholesome and plentiful friendly atmosphere. One small problem depending when you go it can be a bit chilly a door opens directly into dining area.

Called up last minute (as I was driving there) looking for a table for 5 and it wasn’t a problem. We were seated right by the door however so got a nightly draft as people came and went. Food was nice service was great when we told them we had to be going for a certain time they made sure our food was out quickly.

with a party of 21 we were all delighted with the excellent food and friendly service of all the staff - well worth a visit if you have not been before

Had a fabulous lunch and staff are very friendly and attentive. Very clean warm and bright. Parking good too.

The last few times we've been for Sunday lunch the roast beef has been very disappointing. Tough, hard to cut and even harder to chew. In fact the last time I had it, I choked quite badly. It used to be "melt in the mouth"! What's Happened to it? However on a more positive note, I visited with my daughter and their macaroni cheese is the best I've ever tasted, as is their lasagne. We love the Railway Inn and still think their food is first class (apart from the roast beef)!!

Restaurant clean & modern. Staff friendly. Great selection of food to choose from. Arrived promptly & warm. Definitely recommend & shall be back. 👍🏼

Excellent staff. Service great. Smashing suroundings owner makes a point of speaking to customers. Been many times and will keep doing so

A fantastic meal as always. Our family love the home cooked food at a affordable price. Keep up the good work guys

Local pub and lounge on our doorstep the food is brilliant and the service is great and staff are very polite and friendly. Jackie and Graham have did a great job with this business so would recommend to all
