When we went to go get food, it said on google maps it was open and it wasn’t. My mum went to go get food while I stayed in the car and she said that 3 dogs were about to jump on her, there were bin bags everywhere and it looked very dirty and it looked like it was permanently closed so

Absolutely outstanding. Unfortunately for the owner it was a cold wet Wednesday so it was quiet, but we are very happy we stopped by and will definitely be back when we next visit Rothesay. We had the southern fried chicken burger and bacon cheese burger, we opted for Cajun fries and they were delicious. the chicken burger was out of this world, crispy, great bite to it and full of flavour. great music playing in the background and the place was spotless, a well looked after establishment, where you can tell they take pride in their business.

You won't find fine dining here but what you will get is great burgers, hot dogs and fries with a very warm welcome, if you are looking for something a bit different in Bute give this place a try, they also have a kids menu and my 7 year old daughter loved it.

Incredibly underwhelming experience. My 16 year old daughter could have done far superior. Chilli cheese fries - WITH NO CHILLI??? consisted of chips with cheese and what I surmise was cajun seasoning, that was all. Definitely nothing like the picture advertised. No sour cream or salsa.... nothing. Cheese steak sandwich - not slices of beef as you would of expected but more like stew ? A baguette, which was soggy with the sauce, cheese, fried onions, they had no peppers left - frankly this was inedible. Milkshakes - the Milkshake was nice, really small for the price and they were out of whipped cream. All in all it was pretty much a disaster. We got a sorry about that but you still have to pay the full price. As we were leaving we received a very condescending good bye from the staff. Such a shame!

Food took an hour to come and was a little underwhelming. Said on the menu that the chicken and wafle sandwich came with chips but when I asked about it was told that it doesn't. Maple syrup was also missing and waffles were dry. Have checked the menu and it deffo says it comes with chips. Was still charged nearly £20 for the meal 😭have to say it's still an interesting place to go in a cool spot. They were probably having a bad night but not a good experience.

Overly large portions by my standards although food is fresh and tasty. The waiter offered to pack any left overs. Short drive from centre of Bute. Great location at Ardbeg Point.

Enjoyed a lovely evening here while on holiday in Bute - we had been hoping to eat at the diner and were happy to get booked in. Food was absolutely delicious - my partner had the spicy burger and was not disappointed ! We shared wings Mac and cheese and onion rinds and all were super tasty and freshly made. After dinner we were able to sit through in the bar with another couple on their honeymoon where a lovely member of staff, and later the friendly owner, served us. Had a great laugh with everyone. Such a cool place and lots of fun with great staff, chat and recommendations for things to do on the island.

Not sure how / why this place isn't overflowing with reviews! It's a great option on Bute, & - as an American - pretty true to the Americana diner form! On point with the Elvis memorabilia & classic Cadillac out front. We had the fried chicken (breast) & waffles, Canadian fried chicken sandwich & Philly cheese steak. The fried chicken - honestly, top notch! Nice seasoning/rub - an homage to the owner who originally hails from the southern part of the USA. The philly cheese steak, while not 100% like the ones you'd get on South Street in Philly, still tasted delicious & in our top 2 cheese steaks we've had in the UK. On my next visit: I'd give the Mac & cheese & waffle a pass personally, & load up more on the fried chicken (the chicken wings are next on my hit list). Aside from the food, service was also cheerful & fun! Remember to walk over to the bar adjacent to the restaurant, grab a Bud, & hopefully you'll catch the owner, Brody, who's a massive hoot!!

This place was absolutely terrific - the owners was so very nice to us, and the waitress was incredible. We had the BIG BLOCK, the TACOS, a most amazing ENCHILADA plate and other assorted goodies. Having been on the island for several days (and for the first time - a very beautiful island I must say!), we noticed a few places offering something very similar (several quasi-American places to chose from), but THIS is the real deal! We couldn't recommend this place enough, and we will definitely be back! Thankyou so much for a very delicious time!!! :)

He recommended the R and B rockabilly diner as the place we wouldn’t want to miss. Our family decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. The food was great and the atmosphere was fantastic. Wish we had something like this in our village. Highly recommend this restaurant. Great food, great atmosphere, and great service.

Visited here with friends. It’s a 25 minute walk from Rothesay ferry terminal. Upon arriving, we were assigned seats and got our drink orders taken. I had a glass of water and then ordered the chicken legs with “Texan toast (basically french toast with cinnamon and some powdered sugar on). The waitresses were very polite and attentive. The chicken was good, however some more seasoning would have been even better, the meal also came with mac and cheese which was nice but could’ve been a lot hotter. The Texan toast could’ve been more flavourful as well (my friend got the pancakes and they were so much better!) the chicken was very hot which was good. I was full after this otherwise I would’ve tried the desserts on offer. The bar guy was also really friendly. I would return to try other menu items.

We are holidaying in Bute as a family and managed to book a table in the bar. From the outside this diner doesn’t look like anything special, but how wrong was I. This is an absolute gem and I would highly recommend a visit. The decor inside was very colourful and there was a wonderful atmosphere. We were greeted with friendly, happy staff. Everyone that served us had a smile on their face. My daughter and I had burgers; husband had burrito. The food was outstanding! My daughter had an amazing milkshake, the best she’s ever had apparently! Thank you for a great evening. If you’re in Bute, this is definitely worth a visit

Our 2 year old loved it and having lived in a diet of crisps and sweets for last 2 days, we were chuffed that she wolfed it down! Despite the theme, the decor was so new and fresh and we had a laugh at the innuendo on the wall displays! We had a really welcoming reception despite lots of new rules. Thanks, will definitely visit again!

It was a pleasure to visit this quirky and welcoming restaurant. American style food served in a realistically themed diner is not what you expect to find on a quiet Scottish island but it worked. The charming American host made us really welcome and we were sorry not to have managed to spend more time in his eclectically furnished Rockabilly bar. The food in the diner was bang on but the portions were perhaps a tad on the large side, even for us! One of the things that we most enjoyed about Bute was the lack of any chain restaurants or bars thus allowing super individual places like this and others that we visited to thrive. Great stuff.

Visited as a group of 5 with two children (13 and 9) - it was their chosen restaurant.Meals are large and fried. Yes some come with a side salad, but it's minuscule.I was put off slightly when my chicken wrap was delivered and the waitress apologised for the state of it as they had tried to roll it twice and it still didn't work. Lost my appetite at the thought of multiple hands wrapped around my food (I'm sure they were wearing gloves, but still)! Maybe just use another tortilla and hope it works better next time.

Food was proper home-cooked American diner fayre - we agreed as we were eating it there had to be someone from across the pond cooking, as having lived in the US, we can confirm you don't get mac and cheese like that made by someone from the UK! Home made burger patties and PBR on tap were a treat too. Lovely service and great decor completed the experience. Don't be fooled by the slightly inauspicious exterior, get in there and enjoy your fix of top quality Americana. Would highly recommend.

Went on the basis of reviews. I’d like to hope we just picked an off night as our meals certainly didn’t live up to other reviews. I chose fried chicken having seen photos of the meal online. Mine had a really dark brown burnt tasting coating as if fried on too high a heat. The accompanying mac n cheese was just a pot of macaroni which had a bit of cheese microwaved into it, no sauce as it should have. Waitress tried to tell me both items were always served that way. I don’t think so. Nachos looked appetising but the cheese sauce that was dolloped on tasted like a bad packet mix. The only choice that was halfway ok was a burger which one of us chose but even that was way short of the mark. Like I say, maybe an off night and the usual chef was off.

The young waitress that attended to us didn’t seem to have any knowledge of the diner or customer service. Starter arrived before our drinks, mains arrived half way through eating starter waitress still gave us the main and asked if we wanted our starters taken away while we were still eating them!!

We have been before the diner part opened, the meals have always been delicious, but the newly opened diner side really does give you the feeling you are back in 60's America! The choice of food is great, you really must try the waffles and chicken, in fact, the pancakes, the burgers, you just can't fault any of it. The fries come in a tasty dusting of Cajun spice, and I had my meal served with a delicious bottle of Elvis juice beer, seemed very apt for the surroundings. We relaxed through in the bar area after the meal, this is very cosy with subdued lighting, the walls are decorated again with memorabilia from all over, and evidence of the live music events that are put on at the weekends. The staff Rima and Brodie are always so welcoming and seem to love getting to know their customers. This place is an absolute must to visit, it's the most genuine American diner you will be to without crossing the big pond. (Only crossing the little one) we wish they would open one in Glasgow, we would be in there all the time. Thanks for another amazing weekend guys.

Having grown up on Bute in the 60's, this place was a real, and very unexpected eye opener when I recently made one of my infrequent returns to the island. Although part of a large group, along with the usual chaos such a dynamic creates, Brody & the staff were extremely accommodating and friendly, keeping the kitchen open well beyond normal call of duty hours.The food was excellent - none of our party was disappointed with what they had. I went for the Alabama Chilli, which was as hot as promised - and I like my chilli hot, although fortunately, no next day regrets. I spoke with Brody about the meal after and he told me it is made with Bhut Jolokia, aka Ghost Chilli - until a few years ago the hottest chilli you could grow - and it certainly felt like it - definitely burning hot but not agonising, so for aficionados,a definite must try experience.And then there is the bar - a pure bonus over and above the food, with Brody expertly keeping the lubrication flowing against a very heavy demand amidst a decor that my 1960's self would have positively died for to experience. All in all, an excellent night, and my one regret is that my short visit to the island limited me to only that one night. A definite 10/10 and a definite revisit on the cards for next time on Bute.

Stopped at this place on our way back from Rothesay. What a great place! The diner is just amazing. Looks as though it is brand new. So many cool details. Sorry to say that we did not have time to eat hereAlso loved the bar in conjunction with the diner. A must see! The band is skeletons, chair that is a high heel shoe and much more. They are both well worth a visit.

Great diner with great decor, friendly service and interesting menu. We had a great meal at a reasonable price and then went to watch the band next door at the Scottish Honky Tonk. We'll definitely be back! Have since been back again twice and tried different dishes from the menu that were all lovely. The service is excellent and the waitress advised what ingredients were in our chosen meals incase we were allergic or simply didn't like something. Spot on.

Excellent night out, with live bands on a Saturday night. Very warm welcome from the wonderful staff. We loved this place and we wish we came in here for a meal. Loved the atmosphere and the cheerful colourful decor, with intriguing items on displayed on the walls. This is such a cool bar with cool people. Loved it and we will definitely come back.

Great food, great music, great service. A fantastic 50’s diner on Bute - didn’t know it existed but so glad we found it. If you are on the island this is a must for a burger and a bit of fun.

I have to confess, having looked at the leaflet menu, I really wasn't inspired to go here. However, the kids wanted to go so off we want. As soon as we walked through the door, my mind completely changed. What a FANTASTIC place!!!!!Great people - very welcoming, varied menu (much more on offer than the leaflet menu I'd seen) and an absolutely fantastic atmosphere (helped by the music which was at just the right enjoyment/conversation level)The food was really nice - very different for Bute, but really nice and reasonably priced. We did have to wait a while for our meal to come out, but it's all home made and home cooked so that's totally fine.Well done, Rockabilly's. We have family on the Island so will definitely be back!

Been meaning to come here since I arrived ten weeks ago on the island. Since then I've jealously listened to reviews from friends and colleagues who had eaten here. Expectations were very high and it paid off. My dinner partner and I had the fried chicken breast, she had pancakes and I had waffles and it came with mac and cheese. I'm a mac and cheese connoisseur and oh, man! It was delightful. The chicken breast was succulent and moist and very tasty. The decor in the diner is awesome, very fresh and clean and the bar is something special too. You wouldn't expect a place like this in sleepy Port Bannatyne.The owners Brodie and Rima have done really well here and should be very pleased with themselves.

My compliments to Brody , the food and atmosphere were excellent, large portions which we couldn't finish, so placed in a takeaway box. I would recommend the chicken meal for 4, definitely authentic in every way... Well done Brody!!!

A short drive along the water front from Rothesay into Ardbeg you will find this beautiful little place.The diner is excellent and superbly decorated - so a big well done for that.After you’ve enjoyed your meal wander through to the bar and say a big ‘praise the Lord’ to Brody behind the bar, an excellent host who puts in a lot of effort to bring a bit of Alabama sunshine to the island.There is live entertainment on Saturday nights and I would urge anyone visiting Bute to get along and join in the fun

Never had food but the owner showed us around the restuarant. The bar has an atmosphere of its own. The live bands were brilliant. If travelling to Bute this is a must.

Where else can you find posters of Johnny Cash, Elvis, James Dean and Valentina Tereshkova (1st woman cosmonaut) in the same room? Great portions of freshly cooked home-made burgers, fried chicken and sandwiches not for the faint-hearted. Bright, friendly and on-your-toes Music. Regular live music in the bar.

Excellent place to eat. The best place to eat in the area. The steaks take time to cook to absolute perfection! They are well worth the wait. Lovely atmosphere with fantastic Scottish music! Would pick the old inn every time
