Been a lot of years since we were last in. And it didn't disappoint, like it didn't 25 years ago. Brilliant place with brilliant staff. Would highly recommend.

Atmosphere, staff, regulars, ales, shots. Wednesday is jam night and a fine night it is. Bit of a tricky one to find if the upstairs is closed but don't let that put you off. It's a rare place and all the better for it.

Food was great the time I went. One person on shift that was very unimpressed looking..didnt crack a smile and made us feel pretty uncomfortable with the lack of 'friendliness'. Tried going last year in October and they were closed and same again this year. I think this is only a summer restaurant. Unfortunately won't be attempting to go again as let down twice, tried to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Chips(french fries) were too crunchy. Chicken tasted of char . Mushroom sauce didn't hit the spot. The Cajun chicken was better. Staff were nice and it's a fun place to visit. It was open late afternoon. Unlike a lot of other places in Aviemore.

Incredible American-style ski chalet vibes. Service was quick and friendly despite managing the floor as a solo waitress! Beyond meat vegetarian burger was bland and over cooked. Standard beef burger was average. Very impressive selection of shots (50+) and bar downstairs was full of life! Would definitely recommend the bar.

The Skiing Doo represents a large milestone in my girlfriends life; first time eating Chicken Wings, which were amazing by the way. The staff went above and beyond to go the extra mile (shout out to our boy Hayden). As the Tenents and mad dog shots flowed I was encouraged by the good patrons of the Skiing Doo to jump up and play song for the open Mic Night, which we could not recommend more. Scottish hospitality and alcohol left a mark on hearts and souls, and we will be forever grateful to have passed through The Skiing Doo ❣️

We found this place completely by accident, however it was a real hidden gem, the decor was fantastic, they had a great selection of food and drinks. The chilli cheeseburger was great and the chips were amazing. The staff were super friendly and allowed us to look around the areas underground. We will certainly be coming here every time we visit.

We were told to expect a long wait when we arrived as the kitchen was short staffed. This was exactly what happened but having been notified in advance this wasn’t a problem at all. We just had a nice chat and drink to keep us going. The staff were very friendly and the music is superb. Worth going just for that! The food when it arrived was lush (for want of a better word) and tasty. Nice big portions and value for money was excellent. Three meals less than £50! Perfect. Will definitely be going for a second visit this week!

A friend recommended we come here for steaks as he had a great experience recently. We had a rump and a sirloin, both washed down with a wheat beer and a local beer. We were not disappointed. Food was excellent, seasonal veg was delicious. Steaks brilliant. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend. Menu caters for all but can only comment on the steaks we had. Will definitely be back. Thank you Skiing Doo.

Would give 0 Stars if I could I have been going to this restaurant since 2000 and have always been able to get a table and the food has been fantastic. My son and nephew were especially looking forward to going this year year as they were going to have the T-bone steaks However when we tried to book a table for 4 they said they didn’t take bookings for less than 5 people and would just have to try a walk in. We then went to the restaurant at 5:10pm to see if we could get in, they said they were full and that we could try and we should try again at 7:30pm. We thought maybe we would go back a little earlier 7pm and wait for a table only to be told that they were now booked until after 8pm and then only if the chef could be persuaded to stay later we may be able to get in then if we came back at that time. Quite frankly I am disgusted at the service here, not taking bookings for 4 is unbelievable, We were a group of 4 (2 adults and 2 Very hungry teenage boys), and were like to spend over £150 as we were all having steaks Doubt I’ll ever return to this restaurant unless it changes hands.

The most bizarre experience in a restaurant - something out of Faulty Towers! Walked in off the street on a Sunday evening with my 2 boys. Pretty quiet with a good number of empty and unused tables probably 50% of the restaurants capacity. Asked for a table for 3 but was refused as a booking of 8 was coming in! So bizarre obviously wasn't interested in our business. The place looked good but the attitude of the staff was well below par what is expected these days - not the 1970s.

Was in here on Tuesday night. Waitress was so rude no manners what so ever or a smile. Me and my son had the spaghetti bolognaise it was utterly disgusting we didn’t eat it. I wouldn’t of even gave it to my dog. Definitely not what it should taste like. Didn’t say anything as couldn’t be bothered with the waitress and the attitude. Shame as we come here every year definitely won’t be rushing back. My husband and other son said they enjoyed theres but please avoid the bolognaise like the plague yuck

We decided to stop here for some dinner before heading back home. The place was totally empty of which was fine for us, peace and quiet. Service was nice and fast. Food came pretty quick as well. My wife had a venison burger and that was delicious. I had a hot-dog and it’s the reason for 4 stars. It was literally just a sausage in the bun, but the thing was that the actual sausage was just weird and not tasty at all. As soon as it entered my mouth it just sort of like melted without even chewing it. So I definitely recommend not ordering it, not worth your £13. But the burger yes please. Thy also have a bar downstairs with a wee outside sitting area with 2 tables and we had a drink there before going and that was nice.

We're currently doing a Scotland road trip and I've been looking forward to coming back here as aviemore is our last stop before heading home, unfortunately it was a massive let down. We're both ordered steaks, I ordered the T-bone and it was over cooked and very fatty, my partner ordered a rare rib eye that came over done and chewy. The sides had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp for 10 minutes as they were all dried out, the mushrooms were a solid rubber like texture that could of been used as beer mats. Chips were decent. We told all of this to the waitress and she offered to send our food back but I declined as I didn't want to waste a piece of meat that would get thrown in the bin. If the owner by chance reads this review then please either re-train your kitchen staff or get new people in because the skiing doo is losing what once was a great place to go.

Visiting the local area we looked for somewhere to eat, we found Skiing Doo with good reviews and looked somewhat different so decided to give it a go ! We walked in. Place was very quiet, but they had to check it they accommodate us as we hadn’t booked. We were seated into a booth after a few minutes. Waiter brought us over some menus and followed with a dog eared piece of paper as the Kids menu. Table was sticky. Condiments on the table looked they hadn’t been cleaned in quite some time. We ordered 2 x Mac & Cheese, An Angus burger and a kids nuggets and chips and drink for us all. Although the beer I chose was off ! Food arrived after around 20 minutes. We found the 4 cheese Mac & Cheese tasteless. Garlic Bread tasted burnt as If it has been laid on the grill Element. Angus burger was over cooked. Salad on the plate was warm & soggy. Kids nuggets and chips was the best meal out of all of them. Cost us £55. We wouldn’t recommend or return. We witnessed and father and son eat two mouthfuls of there food. Didn’t finish there drinks either. Paid and left after 5 minutes of there food arriving. They were not impressed either.

Great service and food with big portions. The starters are big enough to share but when you don't know this and they are so nice you can't resist eating all of them. We did this and then couldn't manage the amazing haggis and beefburger combo. In hindsight one starter to share and a smaller burger would have been enough. Also there is a great bar downstairs if you are early, all just added to the table tab.
