Scallop's Tale in East Dunbartonshire

Outstanding .Good hot food friendly staff .

Food was awful. Tasted as though the fish and chips were fried in oil that had gone off.

fish supper was spot on, fresh and tasty hardly any grease or oil 👍

Good, although much smaller portions this time and no garlic bread as before with the macaroni cheese.

Over priced and really not the best food

We got the calamari and for the second time in a row the cartilage had not been removed meaning that it was almost inedible and one of our party actually choked on it. This is the second time it has been (un)prepared in this way. First time I can put down to a mistake. Second time is just poor. I won’t be ordering again. Shame as this fish is quite good.

Never got my free item as spent over £20

had a haddock supper, I wasn't a fan of the batter. Good piece of fish though.

Chips were hard, calamari was chewy and inedible, overall a bad meal

The food was piping hot, tasted freshly cooked….couldn’t fault it! 10/10

This was the first time that I’ve used just eat - the food was hot when it arrived. If I was to order a take away in future, I’d be happy to use them again.

Ordered a scallop supper and it came without chips, scallops were over cooked and tasted quite bitter. Really disappointing, bought as a treat and won't rush to order again.

IMO the best chip shop in Bearsden. Always made fresh and generous portions.

Great quality food and fast delivery

the food was burnt and dry fish and onion rings. The taste was terrible

Ordered two beef burgers with cheese, both had gristle. Used to be good but the quality of the beef used must be lower. Definitely wouldn't get again, not what you would expect for around 11 pounds per burger.

Generous portions of fish and chips at reasonable prices. Aways fresh and tasty and promptly delivered. The Sally Scallops are my regular favourite, though I would like have them without the batter and lightly fried in garlic. Maybe something for the future...

Chips excellent - would have been 5 stars but fish batter was undercooked - so a bit disappointed

Amazing food, very tasty and great portions! The staff are always lovely and friendly, we always have a great experience!

Fish is lovely won’t be ordering for anywhere else !!

Great presentation, huge portions, food good. We were kept informed about the delivery & could track the driver from the restaurant. Thanks.

Unfortunately the calamari rings were soggy , not crispy and the haggis although a generous portion , it was salty I was disappointed as the reviews were good. The delivery was 15 mins later than booked , pherhaps this contributed to the calamari not being crispy and not very hot

Great food as always . Huge portions , freshly cooked . The panko breaded special fish is awesome, as are the onion rings .

They aren’t the classic salt and chilli chicken you would expect they are very different,still really nice seasoning and chicken just not what I expected, the delivery time kept changing so it was late but I don’t know if just eat counts it as such since the time changes multiple times

Fish was lovely and hot. Chips are another story very dry and pale could have been cooked a bit longer

fish was good chips tasted like they were air fried not good

Thought we'd visit Scallops Tale following it just being awarded one of 5 Best Scottish fish and chip shops named in Good Food Guide and it did not disappoint. All 4 meals were fresh and delicious. Food was reasonably priced, and the service was excellent. Highly recommend and will definitely return!

We visited the Scallops Tail tonight as we had seen that they had won an award and were interested in trying it out. As someone who has worked in customer facing environments before, I have to say, the service was impeccable. The food is cooked from fresh and in view of the counter, so you can see that it is freshly made and for those who care, you can see how it’s made. The food was out of this world. The chips were insane, and the sausage was wonderful. A special batter I was made aware. Very impressed. As with anything, the cost matters, but regardless of posting upwards of £40, I really can’t complain. Everyone has their own threshold of pricing for things, and that’s okay. For me, I was happy to pay that because I felt the service and quality were worth it. Would I do it every weekend? No, but I don’t eat takeout every week, so for a treat, it was worth it. It certainly has become the benchmark for me. Will be some effort to out-do these people. Overall really impressed. Hope to hear more of more success from this place.

Fish was delicious. Chips too big and pale.

Unbelievable sized portions. Everything was excellent.

Superb - and amazing for gluten free also Lovely service and very fresh hot food beautifully packaged thanks

Menu was not nearly as extensive as shown on the website, probably only 30 % despite the booking being a Saturday evening. Food quality was ok apart from the Thai monkfish curry which was more Italian than Thai. Total lack of atmosphere due to only 3 other diners in. Service was excellent with a very pleasant young lady being polite and efficient. Unlikely that we will be back.

Absolutely amazing food served in a friendly and intimate dining atmosphere, the team led by Usman (owner) Stephen (manager/chef) are first class..... Highly recommended 👍🏼

The food was reasonably nice, but nothing to write home about. The service was slow, the menu was different from what it said online, and the price was extortionate. Seriously? Over 90 quid for 3 people?!! And no alcohol available either. Tables were small and there was little room for anything like glasses.

Fantastic food, piping hot, generous portions. 10/10, will definitely use them again

Friendly staff and excellent take away - we had mini haddock supper and breaded sole goujons - big portions and best take away fish I've had in ages.

We just oreded three large portions of chips to take away And when we got home The chips and a portion of nuggets .everthing was really ,chewy and totally inedible .spoke to somone and they didnt seem interested al all We will not be going back again

It's absolutely brilliant. Food was piping hot and delicious. We only had pizza and chips, but they were fresh and tasty. Will order again, Thanks!!

The fish was delicious. My little girl gave it 10/10! First time we had tried Scallops Tale and we will definitely order again.

This is my favourite Just East delivery. Tasty and big portions always delivered on time.

So we went in for a meal tonight and got a starter with 2 mains and asked for it to all come out at the same time. This totally did not happen and we were left waiting an extra 15mins on my wife’s food being brought to the table. The food was very good tasty scampi basket with very good chop shop chips and side salad with and excellent dressing. The chicken pasta my wife got because was late had a watery sauce and was bland due to this. We complained about this but apparently the waitress blamed us saying we asked for it separately which is weird as we asked for the mains and starters together. There is also a nonnegotiable service charge of 10% on the meal that when asked if it could be removed as we didn’t think the service warranted it was told no. Again I must stress the food from the chip shop side was amazing just the rest was a complete disappointment.

I got the scampi and fish which arrived piping hot. They both were fab. I will be ordering again from scallops tale.

Absolutely delicious fish suppers. Be very hungry, the portions are huge. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely place. Attractively decorated with a nice ambience. Food was delicious - we had queen scallops, calamari, mussels, monkfish curry, scampi and no one left anything on their plate. Service was efficient and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Our experience wasn’t good. Service was terrible, haphazard slow and very low end. Staff poorly trained. Felt like I was in a cafe not a restaurant. Fish and chips was ok but Thai monkfish curry was a disaster. Fish overcooked, only Four pieces and the sauce was as Thai as an Eskimo. I’m sure the rice was from a microwave rice bag. Won’t be back.

Quite pricey but fish was phenomenal

Best fish we’ve ever had. Love the batter! Will try the chips next time.

Great tasting food and lovely waitress. Only disappointment was my eyes stinging from the smoke from the fish fryers down the stairs coming up. Needs a better ventilation system.

Didn’t arrive - app showing delivered. Disappointing service from restaurant taking no responsibility.

Absolutely huge portions and delicious food. Definitely the best restaurant in Bearsden. The creamed corn with the steak is so good and the scallops were gorgeous too. Compliments to the chef as every dish was seasoned and the sauces were delicious. Very good value. Will be back soon.

Fantastic scallops. Light batter. Lovely chips.

Fresh tasty fish, nicely packaged 👍

Food came quickly, especially considering it was a Saturday night, and was nice and hot so we were off to a good start there, however the food was really disappointing, considering the price. The fish was all batter (breadcrumbs) and no fish, the fish itself was tasteless, the chips were non-descript, and the minty mushy peas were nice in themselves, but have no place with a chippy. I'm afraid our next order will be with Romys, as Scallops Tale has been hit or miss so far for us.

Fish was a bit disappointing. Batter was too thick and dry, a bit sickly. Squid was good.

It was quiet the day we visited, we had great service , helpful staff, the food was really good 👍

Regularly had delivery since Scallop’s Tale opened. Early orders were great but recently multiple mixed up deliveries, really oily batter and weird undercooked/potato wedge chips means I will go elsewhere.

We had the scallops for starters and the fish supper for mains. Both were lovely. The fish supper was a good, big portion. BYOB though they are also licensed.

No salt on the fish or chips & no tartare sauce delivered - but the fish and chips were both excellent.

I love this restaurant. Food and ambience is amazing.

Had a lovely meal. Presentation & food was amazing. Would highly recommend.

Ordered 4 fish and chips plus extras The batter was so thick and it retained the oil it was awful . Nearly £50 so won't be back .service great spotless shop

Food was delicious (Haddock supper and burgers)! Had to add something to the order after payment and the restaurant couldn't have been more helpful.

Great place for dinner. Fish and chips was absolutely delicious

Best breaded haddock I've tasted will be back .

Come on Bearsden Cross. If you insist on lowering the standards of Bearsden to having a fish and chips shop then at least choose a good one. Thick over crispy batter on thawed out frozen fish and odd tasting chips.

Food was amazing however it costs £11 for a large fish supper, but the chips were served separately and the portion was tiny. There was more chips in the single fish supper. The chips in the large just wasnt enough. We were offered a free side so we ordered the salt and chilli chips which were also amazing. Overall, the food was delivered hot and fresh. The batter was so crispy and the food was not at all soggy. It was one of the best fish suppers ive had, let alone delivered. I will definitely order again and i highly recommend it. The only disappointment was the serving of chips in the large supper.

Excellent. Food delivered on time. Food was warm and tasty. Will be ordering again!

We had a beautiful meal on Saturday evening the food was great and the service was excellent the two waitresses were so helpful and the “bring your own bottle “ idea is superb. However later that night the smell of chip pan fat from our clothes was unbearable ..I’m not sure if this problem could be solved but it would possibly keep us from returning...solve the problem and they have a top restaurant.

Came for my birthday dinner tonight, and unfortunately, I left disappointed. I've been before so I was expecting the same experience. My starter before was fresh crisp and delicate with a beautiful fresh salad. Tonight the calamari was rubber and no sign of my salad, as it was absolutely covered in thick mayo yuck. The full dish was just saturated in the squid ink mayo. The main meal was fish and chips, and it can't go wrong, really. Fish was lovely but missing our sourdough bread and butter as advertised. Also, dishes that are advertised on Facebook are not on the menu, disappointing. Shame, we don't get out much, and I was desperate for this wee celebration meal. Can't fault our server, a very tall young chap who was extremely polite and always had a smile.

Came in over Xmas and had the Christmas Fish Supper which was delicious then had the Orange & Cinnamon Cheesecake for dessert. Stephen the chef was awesome. Highly recommend!

Great service great food highly recommend

Nice place, good service however some points of improvement. Starter of scallops were nice, mains we both got surf and turf. I asked for medium rare and got completely well done, my partner also asked for medium rare and was perfect. My steak was very thin in comparison to my partners which was more than double the size, I don't know how the cuts were so different but mine was chewy and disappointing. Everything else on the plate was lovely. I would suggest anyone thinking of going here not to wear nice clothes as you will go home and stink of a chip shop. I wore a brand new jacket which had to be put in the wash with all my other clothes which had such a strong smell stuck to them. The deal we got for starter and main for £35 was good however if we never had this deal I think this place would be very over priced.

Myself and my partner had a takeaway of fish and chips some weeks ago and really enjoyed it so ordered the same again last night, it was awful the chips were all stuck together and so greasy and the fish not much better it repeated on us both the rest of the night. A complete waste of money.

Amazingly fresh fish. Excellent restaurant

Crisp batter on fish. Salt and chilli chips hot. Mint mushy peas good.

Freezing cold, had to ask for heating to be put on! Food Luke warm, and average Vastly over priced. Wouldn't go back. Discounts available on line, certainly wouldn't pay asking prices.

Finally, a great meal in Bearsden. We enjoyed the varied festive menu so much! From fresh scallops to beautiful surf and turf. All fresh food and cooked with tasty accompaniments. You will not believe the size of the fish, scallops cookes to perfection. We were a party of 8 and all enjoyed every course so much!! Staff were lovely and attentative. We were so pleasantly surprised, this is far better than just posh fish and chips.... Our new favourite local restaurant!!! We can't wait to go back and try to the new menus. Thank you Scallops Tail team.x

The food was superb 3 courses for £34.95 set menu excellent value and portion size certainly worthy a visit and very attentive service from chef etc when we arrived at 4 pm will definitely enjoy again

Had 2 dishes both were lacking flavour - fortunately I had salt and vinegar in stock which helped. Portion size was reasonable. The best part of the experience was the packaging. Sadly very disappointed in the food.

Discovered this Gem and just had to share it with you! It was a tasty retreat in Bearsden! A real treat! The fish was fresh and tasty. We also ordered some prawns and pizzas- it was amazing. This was the best fish supper I’ve had in a while! The decor and ambience was stunning. It definitely felt like fine dining! Excellent service and staff- We will be definitely be regulars! Thank you Scallops Tale 😋🍕🐟🍤

Excellent food, good portion size 😊

Best locally for freshly prepared fish and chips

The quality of the food was first class and arrived exactly when told. Highly recommend Scallops Tale.

Ordered and paid for a bottle of irn bru, was sent a can but still charged for the bottle. No explanation given

First time in this wee delightful restutrant really beautiful and cozy upstairs. I had the scampi basket which was delicious! Love byob concept, long may that continue. Was served by a lovely girl Emma who was very attentive. Loved to see how busy it was on a Tuesday night. Will definitely be back.

Fish and food arrived cold and dry. Fish mostly dry greasy batter. Fish pieces very small and inedible. Tried to call no reply. Delivery very long almost hour. Not happy at all. Fritters also very greasy

We looked forward to going here but upon arriving the place was very humid, apparently the air con was broken which was understandable but it made our experience very uncomfortable. We ordered a seafood platter of which all consisted of fried foods. There was fried calamari, scampi, fish cake, fried fish and lots of bread with more bread on the side. There was a squid ink sauce but was not too keen on this. Had mussels in a thai curry sauce, think the flavours did not quite match up. Usually we have mussels with a tomato sauce or white wine sauce. Ordered an orange lemonade for about £7 as apparently they charge you separately. Think the best part was the chips, it was cooked really well. Maybe the fish and chips are more popular here than everything else, but overall there was too much fried food, felt very bloated rather than full, hair and clothes stank afterwards. If the fish was pan fried in the platter and included mussels within I think this would be much better. Staff were lovely though.

Requested on just eat website food to be delivered between 5 & 6pm however this was ignored??

Great takeaway excellent chips friendly staff

Lovely fish however batter soaked in oil ,very greasy. Chips were perfect and very tasty

I tried Scallop's Tale for the first time yesterday and I can confidently say that it is the best fish and chips I have ever had in Glasgow. I had the food delivered in and the first thing I noticed was the quality of the packaging. It screams fine dining whilst still being able to reveal itself as a humble chippy that anyone can order on a Friday night. You can instantly tell that they have spent a lot of time and effort into this. Solidifying that this establishment is here to stay and is able to compete and win against only the most revered competitors in Glasgow. Upon opening my fish supper the first thing I noticed was the portion size of the fish, especially in these times, they did not stiff the customer on mediocre food portions which I adored! The fish itself had a beautiful light batter, with a crispy and flaky exterior, whilst still impressively managing to maintain that gorgeous soft and tender interior throughout the fish. Despite being such an extremely generous portion, it seems they have managed to perfect their frying technique to cook the fish, ensuring there are no uneven parts and that every bite is heavenly. The next thing I noticed were the various sides which the fish supper itself had come with. The chips themselves were exactly what I look for in a chippy, they have that distinct soft texture and fluffiness to them, whilst still maintaining a crispy outside. The most memorable moment for me personally, when indulging in the chips and most delightful homemade smushed pees, was the homemade tartar sauce. The tartar sauce is something I expect out of only the most top quality and awards winning fish and chips restaurants. It was something I finished completely and found myself returning to my roots as a child, scraping the bottom of the tub with my fingers. Overall Scallop's Tale is something of a diamond in the rough. The market is very competitive and saturated, however this establishment very impressively still manages to stand out despite these challenges and whatever their technique is or what they are trying to achieve, it seems to be working and I am here for it. Thank you Scallop's Tale.

What else can you order but a fish supper when you try a posh fish n chip shop. Generous portions , well presented and fish was so soft it breaks apart as soon as you cut into I love a posh chippy and this one did not disappoint

Amazing food and experience. Staff was kind and helpful- would definitely come back xxx

Great food, generous portions & fresh. Will be back again for sure.

Excellent fish and chips, price has gone up a bit but that's to be expected at moment

First class fish and chips. Lovely and crispy. Dry crispy chips. Excellent.

We had delicious fish supper. Everything was cooked to perfection.

Very impressed delivery very quick and piping hot.very pleasant delivery person . Thank you.

The fish was superb, very tasty and the batter crispy, chips also very nice. Fish portions are massive, 2 large pieces. Very good 👍
