Skip's Seafood Bar and Grill in Glasgow City

Mine & my boyfriends fav place to eat out on the southside. We have never left without clearing our plates ❣️ & the staff always go above and beyond 🌟

Dropped in after seeing the Fish Tea offer. Glad we did. Really lovely lunch and a great bargain. Will definitely be visiting again!

Myself and my partner went there Saturday night, it wasn’t overly busy, the staff were good, attentive, and provided quality service. Our food, wow! We both enjoy sea food, and find uk seafood okay, but damn this was good! And the value for money was 100% there. My partner got the platter which was heaped! It was £28 and had four langoustine’s heaps of calamari, squid, sole, monkfish, king prawns, oysters, scallops, and god knows what else but god it was good! Myself, I ordered a half lobster and was not disappointed! £22 for a delicious decent size lobster that had been very well cooked and we even squeezed in a desert each. Would 100% recommend, and we discovered it’s dog friendly, but we didn’t bring ours as it was a date night for us.

We went in for first time, after walking past many times thinking this place looks cosy, for the Fish Tea deal. Great wee place, the fish was brilliant and the waitress so lovely.

25 out of 10 food staff setting well beyond expectations, first class experience from beginning to end. well done to you all, everyone get to this restaurant you'll be blown away, thanks again for a brilliant night

Popped in for a quick lunch. Seafood casserole was outstanding, super fresh produce and very reasonably priced, Hubby had the fish tea and was also really delish and high quality fish. Fab service, relaxed dining. We’ll be back to try all the amazing things on the menu!

Vistes for the first time recently and had a really lovely evening. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive, friendly and welcoming. I’m looking forward to going back. Would definitely recommend

Re-review! Place seems to have been turned around. Service was awesome, food was very food again and the atmosphere was om point. Manager on duty was very attentive and we had a great evening.

I would start with saying that SKIPS has been a regular spot for us for maybe two years, this was our third visit since the start of July. We had been regulars at the Battlefield rest nearby but liked the cosy interior of Skips and were drawn back time and again to decent food and friendly, attentive staff too that knew what they were doing. On the occasion of our last visit (only a week prior to this visit) we had a long chat with the owner who was seemingly very interested in our patronage which we thought as natural for a new owner intent on getting is offering right (or at least we assumed new owner as we had never seen him before and that was the impression we got, a man carefully finding his way and intent on getting it right). When we arrived on this occasion the usual staff were conspicuous by their absence. Service was slow and nervous but understandable if they were new. Most of our allotted 2 hrs from our reservation was spent waiting to be served. We had booked for early evening to avoid being rushed and because we prefer the place less busy (5pm). A few people were in, a gentle buzz in the place and we settled into our booth for an enjoyable couple of hours. Service to the table was slow but once food arrive (sides were forgotten and brought in due course of main course consumption) it was decent and everyone enjoyed. The place that was quiet when we arrived was starting to get quite busy an hour later and we were pleased for the owner who was front of house - but he was clearly feeling the pressure, stacking and racking diners at the all too small bar. The problem for us came after we were invited to order dessert which we did (with 30 mins still on the clock of our reservation). Shortly after ordering we were approached by the owner who addressed the table top whilst gripping the edges of same quietly asking us if we could vacate the table for a recent arrival. A problem with their system not recording a booking which he implied was "us" although we had been greeted and confirmed with first name when surname only was given upon our arrival. A free dessert at the bar was offered if we would give up our comfortable table to help them manage their mismanagement. We declined, settled the bill (without a tip for the first time) and will never return. My advice to the owner manager. Get someone in to run it. This is clearly not your game. I can never remember being asked to vacate a table for someone else anywhere in the world. I travel extensively on business, eat out as a result more than most and have never been treated so disrespectfully and unprofessionally anywhere, I had to come to SKIPS in my home town for that. We will return to the battlefield rest as our regular where the service is never anything short of consummate professionalism, the food is terrific and if the decor is not quite to our liking as Skips it is still top of the class where SKIPS under this management is wearing the dunce cap and facing the wall.

My starter and main were both tepid, the whitebait starter was disappointing due to being under cooked, when my steak arrived the veg along with it was just warm and the sweet which was a lemon tart had a nice flavour but had the texture of custard. A disappointing evening.

Visited here recently during the week to try their fish tea, and it was lovely. Fresh fish, and great portion sizes, the restaurant was quiet when we went around 3pm, but it was very nice and relaxed. Very friendly staff and quick service too, looking forward to visiting again at some point to try out some of their seafood dishes!

Went for dinner via a voucher, food was good, quick service, staff friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.

Been here twice recently using an Itison deal which was great value. Lovely food and service.

We would like to try visit Skips again . We were here prior to a concert and onky the events menu was available therefore didn't get the full choice which looked great . Staff were absolutely lovely , interior nice snd the food we did have was good too however very slow to bring food for starter and main . We feel this was only as they were so busy due to event , so as said will definitely be giving them another go !

Lovely little restaurant. Went for sunday lunch and it was delicious. Really good value and great portions. Will definitely go back.

Decided to try this lovely little restaurant out for a Sunday lunch and was very impressed. The meal was delicious. Really good portions and very good value. Staff very friendly. Can't wait to come back. Thanks again

Went into battlefield rd Glasgow branch for dinner. They had a deal called steak Tuesday, wot a bargain, 2 sirloins, 3 shared sides, choice of sauce and a glass of wine each £30 for2. Didn’t expect much but it was amazing and piping hot which I love. Food was fabulous and David the guy who served us was fabulous and so helpful and pleasant. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back there. !!

Generous portions, kind and welcoming staff, my go to place to round off good Saturday nights. It was actually Baldy Chefs not Skips but they are only metres apart so easy mistake to make.

We were in after the match on Saturday and the food was delicious! We had the mixed seafood starter and steaks for mains! The food and drinks were all fantastic! Franco and David’s service was amazing too. Will certainly be back!

Excellent seaood, the crab fritters were divine, the seafood stew packed with well cooked ingredients, the calamari meltingly soft in crispy coating and the crab on sourdough were all totally delicious. The steak and burgers went down a treat too. Super friendly staff gave us excellent service. We had a great time and hope to be back soon.

First impression was good, warm welcome and nice to see restaurant style was bistro/intimate. We had a limited menu due to an ITISON deal that had good options for our taste. However, Crab Rarebit was returned as the crab element was less than a teaspoon. They served my husband their Veg Tempura that was wonderful. I had not chosen wisely. Second attempt at Rarebit was lacking in crabmeat again but was warm and came with tartare sauce this time - crab meat increased to 2 teaspoons worth. Steak Pie was served in a Soup bowl minus their promised gravy.

We found this wee place on Google whilst searching for Seafood restaurants and fancied giving it a try. We went on Steak Tuesdays which looks like an amazing deal (£30 per couple for steaks, wines and sides) but we had our heart set on seafood so went for the 3x course market menu for £25. The food was amazing. We had squid and crab rarebit to start and both had the seafood stew. All cooked to perfection. Then topped it with brownies and a lemoncelo tart. We will definitely be back next week for the steak Tuesday. Friendly staff, easy parking and amazing food! What's not tae like.

First time dining here, and it was a lovely cosy restaurant with friendly staff and nice food. Will definitely return.

Great venue and the food is amazing. Francesco the manager was very attentive and made our experience unique. We can’t wait to return

We visited on 4th May service, food and very fair prices, thoroughly enjoyed we will be back.

Been wanting to try this place for a while Eventually got round to it , Disappointed ☹️

Cocktails we got where lovely, bit of a salty aftertaste to them but overall lovely. Shane Haroldson was very welcoming to me and very hospitable. Ordered prawns, weird white sticky substance which was salty, however tasted amazing. Will definitely be back for more

This was our first visit to Skips Seafood Bar and Diner in Battlefield. Very tasty it was too. I did the foodie equivalent of double denim... Fish followed by fish! Well... It is a seafood restaurant! Be rude not to. 😎 Whitebait starter for me. Few places served it, which is such a shame as it is a favourite of mine. We both had the fantastic value fish tea for main. My dessert was a delicious fruit crumble with ice cream. My wife had the Tiramisu! She actually makes a legendary Tiramisu and always tries it in a restaurant, only to be disappointed. Her verdict of Skips Tiramisu? "It tastes like mine"! 😯😯😯😎♥️ Well I never! Tea and coffee as part of the fish tea deal rounded off a fabulous feast with fantastic service too. Planning a return already. 😎

The service was great but the food was very very salty and dry - had definitely been microwaved/reheated

Had the Sunday roast. Mussels had hardly any sauce and were tasteless and at 1pm they had no seabass left. I had fish and chips. The chips were the nicest part of the meal. Wouldn’t rush back.

Absolutely brilliant Delicious food Superb staff

Music was good…. Service was slow … the waiter got the order wrong but anyways the dish my partner got had way too much salt so they changed that for another dish. The restaurant wasn’t busy and the service was really slow. Wouldn’t be rushing to go back

We’ve been here about six times and it is always a joy. I particularly love their mussels and chips for lunch. Delish!

Lovely food and excellent customer service. Fresh fish. Very good calamari and prawns. Rich seafood casserole .

Revisited tonight 10/1/24 to give a second chance......one word AWFUL. Never be back!! 4 people in restaurant and our starters were tepid. Seafood casserole below average and fish and chips really below average......same owner as tinto next door which is a regular haunt of mine no comparison whatsoever skips 1/5 tinto 5/5.......I cancelled battlefield rest to go here wont be making that mistake again!

We were there and there was water dripping from the ceiling,buckets everywhere,pouring down on two widow seats then also at the bar,disgrace ,what if someone had slipped

We shared a seafood platter. Best ever! As was the rest of our meal. We were delighted to have found this gem of a place. A lovely evening. Food, service, atmosphere just perfect. Best experience in ages. Can't wait to return. In fact, just booking again when I thought I would leave a review. Thanks. Hoping you'll be around for many years. Cathy

Great service. Nothing is too much trouble for them.

Can't understand why this place isn't better known.

This is my favourite place for seafood in the area, hope they open on Saturdays for food again

Food was lovely one day and not so nice the next

Sunday roast is processed meat ,not good also Yorkshire pudding was really hard.

Great food and service, really enjoyed the menu. I had the Hake for a main and it was delicious ans beautifully presented.

First time here but will be back, great cocktails, food and service. Thanks guys.

Loved this restaurant. Potentially the best restaurant/bar I've eaten. The food was phenomenal. I'm a big seafood fan and I've been to places where the seafood wasn't quite right. But it was cooked and presented to perfection. The sauces used for the mussels and the lamb were really nice. Great presentation. My mum loved her cocktail. The service was amazing too. Jose was really nice and attentive and the barman. I didn't catch his name but he was really nice too. Good guys. Felt like the feeling of the place was very relaxed but at the same time it felt like you were getting a really good dining experience. Again, genuinely wouldn't say this lightly, but it's probably my favourite restaurant. Will definitely be back. My wife wants to go... So yeah, I'll definitely be back.

Lovely food, very helpful staff, was restricted menu due to an event at Hampden, but allowed my wife to order from the main menu as she is vegetarian and couldn't have anything from the set menu Looking forward to going back when the full menu is available too

Absolutely fantastic, one of the best steaks I've ever had and the service was first class. Highly recommended

Pity they don't do zero stars.....they have the lights on, doors opened cocktail sign illuminated.....you park up pay for parking then Justin belfort who's on his phone tells you...."we're deep cleaning the kitchen, not opened till 12pm".......we only went to give the place a 2nd chance as our first visit was a solid 3 out of 10. Does this place look closed to you??

Wonderful spot to enjoy a meal. The food was amazing. The service was fantastic and I absolutely loved this treasure. We found the prices really reasonable. Next time we'll invite family as well! Thank you guys for a great meal!

The food was bland and burnt, Also when I asked for a cocktail I wasn't able to get one as there was no one available at the time that knew how to make one. The service was good though.

Had late lunch here with my wife this afternoon and it was just first class in every way . Skips owners have done a fantastic job converting bookies into a fine dining restaurant the decor and ambiance just perfect Started with langoustine then fillet steak My wife Scallops sirloin steak And of course we had to try the sweet menus fruit crumble white chocolate cheese cake Every bit of our food was delicious we both had a lovely experience whilst dining in skips I would give it 11 out of 10 highly recommended by us

Food cold..Disappointed as had heard good reviews Would not go back

I enjoyed it here, most dishes were great and you can't find fault with the value on the £9 fish tea deal. The oysters, ceviche and lobster ravioli were excellent. I wasn't a big fan of the fruit crumble as it was powdery and the cinnamon was overpowering. I'd definitely come back though.

Recently visited for our 2nd time. The Seafood platter for 2, did not disappoint! Lovely staff Jose, Lucy & Paul, all went the extra mile. It was our anniversary and when the restaurant was a little quieter in the evening, they even took a song request. Great banter & lovely relaxing atmosphere.

What a great place to eat and chill. The atmosphere was amazing. The food even better jazz and josh were outstanding and so friendly, they really made our night. We'll done lads well lads you both amazing at your jobs. Also comments to the chef as the steaks were up there with the best I've had and cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back soon as this is the one of the best places in the southside due to the service and chilled vibes. Back ground was also brilliant 👏🏼 hats off to you all ❤️

Lovely spot for a bit of lunch. Had 2 courses for £15, couple drinks and an espresso. Was yummy, tho it being a seafood bar and grill thought I would have anchovies in my ceaser salad, not a problem though as it was good. Nice service, bar man and waitress were friendly. Good experience with a fair price point 👌

First time on Saturday, was amazing food, service great, can't wait to go back, definitely recommend x thank you xx

Overall an uninspired experience, then my partner developed food poisoning that night…probably the hake or a bad scallop. Won’t be going back…

First time visit. Went for the Oysters followed by the Hake. Absolutely lovely. Decent service and on my doorstep. Can't wait until my next visit.

Sensational Service and first class food ... Catered to my requests without hesitation. Going over and beyond. Food was 5 Star... Very fresh, cooked to perfection, well presented and substantial portion. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Excellent food, staff Steven and Joshua couldn't be any nicer prices Excellent. Will definitely be going back and telling Friend's about this wee place. 10 out of 10 for everything!!!

What a great find, just taking a wonder about in the southside and popped in for lunch, lovely!

I just love this restaurant. The food and the service are exceptional. A must try!!

I had the traditional Fish Tea which consisted of haddock, chips, mushy peas, tea, bread &butter for £9. I thought it was good value for money. It was very yellow because it was cooked in rapeseed oil - if i had one thing I wasn’t keen on it was the bread, it was just ordinary thin sliced bread. Overall though, good value and i would go again

My girlfriend and I had fish and chips was very small and tasteless (it was Coley) which was disappointing for the the price (£16.50) and we left quite hungry.The service was quite slow; it took a long time to get a drinks order, which is not the end of the world I know. The bar setting is nice but I wouldn't rush back.

Can only comment on breakfast. We both had the full breakfast and it was fine, nothing special. Service was very good because we were the only ones there except a table of one of the kitchen staff's mates. But this did mean it was lacking in atmosphere and felt a bit awkward. Might be better at another time of day.

First time and we went for a family occasion. If I could give 10 stars I would for sure. David attended our table and what a friendly guy plus excellent service David provided. The food was really good and every one of the varied dishes could not have been better. Do not hesitate to try Skip's and all the other staff were also excellent...Well Done.

Chased down the street and manhandled by 2 of the most stupidly dressed barman I’ve ever seen. Accusing me of leaving without paying - only to return to the bar to find my friend standing waiting to pay (why would I try to steal 2 coronas). Barman did try to apologise but they can ram they’re apologies. Have a think before resorting to putting hands on paying customers please. Won’t be back and lucky I didn’t report the incident to the police.

This place is superb excellent quality of food at a great price. Staff so friendly and helpful. Defo be back soon.

First time and OMFG ! I absolutely love sea food and I thought I was trying it for the first time seas food platter cooked to perfection first class left very satisfied can’t wait to try rest of menu

Fish was lovely the chips were ok the cheese cake was delicious so was the wine and the staff were great

Great food for your money. Staff are great ♥️

This is a diamond in the south side Something food wise very different Great quality of food as does specials and early evening menus so always something different Great atmosphere music fab Jaz mixologist very good Very well presented young girl think her name is candy so so helpful my husband a plain eater recommended all the right things soup he wouldn’t normally eat Parsnip and cinnamon delicious and the pie of the day beef and pepper also delicious I like to try different food so I was well pleased with all of mine again delicious All in all great food Great atmosphere Great staff

Amazing meal at skips! staff were very friendly and attentive. Given free mock-tails while we waited for table (which were very tasty) our starters were very good and the steaks were cooked to perfection and Mac and cheese was amazing, beef jus sauce was the best sauce I’ve ever tasted! Overall just a great atmosphere and enjoyable night. Will definitely come again! 😁

We have just been to Skip's and gotten the best fish and chips of our lives. Only made better by the very reasonable price and incredibly kind, attentive staff. The fact that they, not only welcome dogs, but cater extensively for them too is just the icing on the cake. The decor is beautiful, the toilets are nice and clean and the atmosphere was great. Would highly recommend to anyone and we will be back to sample more Skips delights.

Had a wonderful Sunday roast/birthday dinner with my family. Food was fantastic and our table of 10 was extremely well looked after. This was my second visit. Thank you everyone.

Great service and amazing food!

Waited too long for drinks whilst barman talked to colleagues. Strange atmosphere where it appeared that a number of kitchen staff were regularly out on restaurant floor and staff coming in and out front door. Not what you'd expect to experience in a restaurant. Food was nice but presentation lacking.

Fantastic food great service brilliant staff

Amazing place and tasty food,friendly staff,recommended

Delicious crab cakes, double-decker burger & roast chicken. Cool interior design & friendly staff. They are still learning so just a teeny bit slow getting the bill organised & paid. We will be back!

Excellent restaurant on Battlefield Rd, quite small but food and cocktails were fantastic service was excellent.

Food, service, wine and location are excellent. We will be back. :)

We have loved our previous visits here. However, today we were very disappointed by the long waits for food (over an hour) but also by the behaviour of the staff. The manager was very aggressive towards his staff in front of customers. It made for a very uncomfortable atmosphere for all the customers. I would probably not visit again after this.

I was really looking forward to a lovely meal at Skips as it had been recommended. Unfortunately, I experienced the worst service that I've ever had in a restaurant. Our table was booked for 6.30pm and when we arrived, our table was not ready. We were asked to sit at the bar and waited until around 7pm before we were seated. The waiter apologised and said that the people at our table were friends of the owner, so they clearly did not want to ask them to leave. We then ordered our meal and our starters came about 7.20pm which were lovely. An hour later, our main meals had not arrived and we asked the waiter twice what was happening and he just didn't return to let us know. By this point, we were starting to get quite annoyed and my husband then asked the manager what was happening with our food. The manager was extremely rude and asked us to leave as he was of the opinion that we were in the wrong and we were hassling them! By this point, it was 8.40pm (2 hours 10 minutes after our booking) - I don't think it's unreasonable to expect to have been served by this point. We also had 2 young children with us and the manager offered no apology, he just said that they were short staffed and busy. I am so disappointed as the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and from other reviews the food seems to be nice. The manager has to manage his restaurant properly and let people know what is going on. If he had explained the situation in a friendly manner, maybe offered us a drink while we waited, offered a sincere apology - things would have worked out much better. Such a shame that we won't be back.

Worst experience we have had in a long time! The Restaurant was freezing we were there at 6.30 and it wasn’t busy. My brother-in-law ordered the lemon sole, we asked if it could be taken off the bone and were told no as that’s how it comes. I ordered the Monkfish Curry which arrived with two small pieces of Monkfish in what I could only describe as a tomato sauce and was accompanied by a small bowl of rice and a burnt flatbread. It just got worse when my husband’s Hake arrived, his food was cold and when we complained the waiter argued with us it was not cold, it was because there was a pea purée served with it that the food was cold! he then sent the Manager over and he also began arguing with us saying it wasn’t cold it was due to the pea purée! I mean honestly, the potatoes were cold as was the Hake nothing to do with the purée.We eventually asked him to heat it up in an effort to put an end to the drama. On the whole they did not handle the complaint properly, we only complained about my husband’s food and they couldn’t deal with that correctly. Suffice to say we will not be back, we are all in the Restaurant and Hotel trade so we know all about food and how it should be served, heaven forbid we should deal with our customers in this way, we wouldn’t have many left!

Fantastic service .food .wine. Friday lunch time lovely manager staff .Not Bruno posting .his Grandma who was there with friends,

I was excited to try a local seafood restaurant (something we've been lacking in the southside). We ordered a selection of small plates to share as they sounded more appealing (mains were a selection of fish and meat dishes). We had the scallops, ceviche, shrimp, squid, ravioli, and loaded chips (we ordered the truffle chips but were given these instead). Highlights were: - shrimp (these were huge and juicy with a nice crispy batter, lightly coated in a sweet chilli glaze). - scallops (big and juicy with caramelised edges). - ravioli (this was excellent, the pasta was fresh, the lobster filling was really well seasoned and tasty, and the thermidor cream was full of flavour but didn't overpower the dish). - the salt and chilli squid was good, not over cooked and rubbery. I didn't enjoy the loaded chips (it had an American style cheese sauce on top) and the ceviche was nice, it also had some lovely fresh beetroot however there could have been more sea bass. I was driving so I wasn't drinking, I tried a sip of my partners pinot grigio which was nice, there was a bottle of albarino I would definitely order next time. The cocktail menu had a few interesting ones and we're reasonably priced. The restaurant is nicely decorated with a cosy feel, there is a small TV screen up on the far wall which was a bit distracting (I'm assuming it was for football?). The staff were nice and attentive, and the cost was quite good for what we ordered. I wouldn't say I'd rush back but would definitely visit again. I think it's a big plus for anyone living locally.

The food was really great and the staff were lovely and attentive. Would recommend!

A couple of friends and I booked a table in Skips and it was FAB! The staff were super-efficient, lovely, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We will 100% be back, this place is a new gem on the Southside. Thank you to all the staff for the warm welcome, see you again soon. (P.S. the cocktails are all amazing and there's so many to choose from)

Eight of us had Christmas lunch. Food was superb. Most had the turkey dinner, but I shared the seafood platter with a friend. So delicious. Nicest mussels I've ever had. Great value at £60 for two. Place is very nice and the staff were lovely. I will be back.

Hi In tonight order lemon sole I got haddock beautiful cooked but a Fish less then a third of the price I told the waiter I was told by chef it was lemon sole as big fish As we know lemon sole is thin and flat My partner order the lamb Separated 3 lamb chops The cocktails filled with sugar The service good Meal not wroth it

Was at the restaurant with friends on Friday, the food was cooked to perfection, the staff where very helpful as our friends were late due to travel distruptions we were panicking but they told us not to worry about this so kind. This is our second visit and we will definitely be back soon. Well done staff.

He had a great dinner last night. The food was delicious - i loved the monkfish curry!! The atmosphere and service is also great. The manager was really attentive. We had a great night!! We will definitely be back.

Sunday Roast!! Yum yum yum. Finally somewhere in the Southside where you can get a great Sunday Roast. Roast beef, amazingly huge home made Yorkies served with perfectly cooked vegetables and an amazing carrot puree, roast and boiled potatoes and delicious gravy. The starters were brilliant too. We opted for the crab fritters and scallops- perfectly cooked. As for the deconstructed lemon curd cheesecake- probably one of the best desserts I've had!! Well done Skips!! WE WILL BE BACK xx

There was 6 of us in on Saturday night and had such a lovely experience. Staff were so friendly, the drinks were first class and the food was perfect. Also a great atmosphere with great tunes. Would highly recommend.

We had a fantastic experience. Great service, decent amount of choice on menu, reasonably-priced for food and drink. Food cooked to prefection - we had the Chataeubriand medium rare, cooked to perfection with the nicest truffle chips and a mac n cheese that was outstanding. Nice chilled vibe. Bravo!

We had am amazing steak chateaubriand meal in skips. Nicest steak sauce we have ever tried- caramel beef jus, so different but unreal! Service was top notch and so were the cocktails. Can't wait to return!

Delicious! Ate far too much but everything was perfect. We were even given a taste of a dessert because we spent so much. The staff were incredibly love as well. Highly recommend

Great cocktail and very pleasant staff. Foodwise it's another story. I ordered the ''ceviche'' and was served dry, cooked, cold bits of fish on top of a salad mix with a very sweet dressing and beetroot slices which tasted fishy in the wrong way. For my main I tried the monkfish curry, the sauce was tasty by the fish was dry once again. It's a bit of a shame for a ''seafood bar and grill's especially at this price point .
