Snack Shack in Highland

This is a handy spot for a break on the way to Inverness. Quite basic but not too bad. Plenty car parking. Not far from the main road. Could do with a Saltire or two. Also a bit of information about the town and the local and Scottish drink and food they serve. Not sure why it is listed as a British and not a Scottish cafe.

As usual, our regular stop today - either heading North West to Fort William to our static caravan or South for home. Oriana as welcoming as ever and lovely atmosphere with the big log burner blazing and making the place homely. Both of us had gorgeous home made soup and shared some fries. Had to have the fries to let the soup cool slightly lol. Lovely Caber coffee too. This lass works so hard given its just her and hubby who operate this large restaurant with occasional help from the lovely lad Charlie. Well worth a stop. Well done to a brilliant team🌼🌸🌹

We had previously visited this lovely cafe a few years ago whilst on holiday in the area so were pleased to be able to go again. Unfortunately our experience was not as good as last time. There were staff shortages which is quite understandable due to the remoteness of the premises but it did take a little too long. Staff were friendly and the food was tasty and reasonably priced.

Young girl with reddish hair served us. Clearly didn't want to be there. Very abrupt, and not at all accommodating. There was no fish on the menu so we were left with Mac & Cheese or a burger. We asked for a burger without mayonnaise (as Aunt is allergic to egg). She was told "You get it as it comes as we're under staffed" at this point it was nearly empty and only 2 tables waiting for food. Portion sizes were okay. Macaroni cheese was pretty flavourless and out of a tin. Decor was clean and pleasant, very traditional with a lovely wood burner stove (don't let young kids out of your sight though as not enclosed) Male staff member was heard to be much more friendly and agree to changes to menu items.

The café room is great. Really delicious cappuccino—I had to have two large ones. And the bacon is perfectly cooked and rich in flavour. The views out over the Truim river are so bonny.

Wear your coat inside, drink and eat as quick as possible as your food and drink WILL go cold, if it even arrives warm. The whole place is freezing, toilets are in terrible condition, one working toilet for the ladies that had no lights working. The floor was so so slippery. Hardly anything available on the menu. One girl on the front taking orders and giving out food from the kitchen. Food is very cheap and not tasty. Save your money and drive onto the next stop for food.

Worst coffee I have ever tasted…. Due to fact it didn’t taste of coffee. How hard can it be to make a coffee that tastes of coffee? Not much to ask really.

My husband and myself stopped here for a breakfast on our way up from Falkirk. We did not eat everything on the breakfast so asked for items to be removed. We got told that the chef woukd kick off because of this, the girl said to the other one you can give it to him (our order) as he won't be happy. I asked if there was going to be a problem and the lady said the chef will kick off. I said to her it doesn't matter we will leave it and have a coffee. The lady came back and said i spoke with the chef and your in luck he is in a good mood and will do it for you. My response was no thanks. It's such a shame as we have been here before and it was beautiful, so disappointed with the service we got and don't think we will return.

The Snack Shack is far more than a snack place and is nothing like a shack. We've stopped here several times this year as it is on our route up to, or back from, Fort William. Sometimes we just grab a coffee and go, and sometimes sit in and eat. It is a comfortable and welcoming place. Last time was late in the evening and we enjoyed sitting by the wood-burning stove. The food and drinks are always excellent, as is the service. Highly recommended.

The Good Restaurant Staff helpful and friendly. Food hot and delicious. The Bad Another guest had to show me how to lock the door, turn a knob on the inside and lock from outside. Make sure you don't lock keys inside the room. My room was absolutely baltic, I used 2 duvets to try to keep warm. Towel rail broken. Soap diah on shower rail which had been broken from previous visits had a sharp broken edge to it, careful not to cut your back in the shower on it. The Ugly The shower had not been cleaned from the previous occupant. Used shampoo bottle on top of shower unit and previous persons body hair ontop of shower unit. I left my number for the manager when he came in to ring me after I had left, I explained to the waitress and left a note of the above. These issues can easily be resolved but like another reviewer has said the rooms really need investment. As i said at the top the staff were friendly and helpful and the food is nice.

It's a dump. Rooms smell of damp. "Restaurant" smells of chip fat. No draught beer very little choice of bottled beer. Toilets off the Restaurant are awful. But hey the steak pie was good and their burgers are huge. It needs completely renovated from top to bottom. We'll never be back.

Great bacon roll great big one and great tasting!!!) and cheerful staff early in the morning. Clean toilets - makes a great pit stop

We finished off a day's road trip by stopping off for dinner on the way home. A warm welcome and good menu selection, we had a lovely meal served by pleasant staff.

Enjoyed pie and chips meal in pleasant surroundings. Very efficient service and courteous host. Had just completed Ben Alder round of six Munros so fuelling stop for me with carrot cake and coffee too. Will definitely be stopping off here again when passing.

Really nice food but a little expensive. We had French toast, Scottish breakfast and two drinks for £22. Good portion size and couldn’t fault the food. Friendly staff, lovely decor and very clean

We both had the full Scottish this morning, very very tasty, nice staff and a lovely and clean place.

Nice atmosphere, roomy, excellent carrot cake and coffee. The service from the staff was exceptional. Really good place to stop off for a break off the A9.

I was travelling with 4 Americans and had tried to stop at the Lochside tearoom at Pitlochry which had closed down. Rather than go back into Pitlochry I suggested we continue North and stop further on. We followed the "Cafe" sign into Dalwhinnie and arrived at the Hotel / Snack Shack. To be honest I was a bit wary but the interior was bright and welcoming. The Americans ordered a variety of burgers and fries plus a sharing plate of fries and chilli. I opted for a roast beef roll. The food was delicious, everyone enjoyed it and the staff were excellent, service was slick and professional. Very impressed and well worth stopping by.

Nice wee cosy and clean place we stumbled upon just off the A9 on our way to Inverness. Soup, breakfasts and lunches and a toilet stop with a petrol station just across the road. Homemade cakes and coffee were delicious.

Stopped by this snack shack today, judging by the look of the outside, we were dubious, as the ancient building needs a lot of TLC. Paint peeling off, overgrown etc However, went for the takeaway coffee, tea and two bacon rolls and was very pleasantly surprised on entering. Inside has a nice open feel, recently redecorated, new carpets and a nice log burning stove. Plenty of room, staff were pleasant, covid measures were in place. Our drinks were hot and large. The bacon rolls were scrumptious. Lots of bacon inside and a large tasty roll. Would def. stop again

Just off the A9 and it doesn't look great from outside but it was Christmas and we were on our way north and needed some lunch. Such a lovely place inside. Warm, clean welcoming. Covid restrictions in place. We will definitely make this a regular...

A first visit here and it won't be the last. Delicious fresh food, served quickly even though it was already busy at 12 o'clock. Beautifully clean. Great value for money.

Still not the cheapest.Handy location and quick service.Full breakfast does not include tea or coffee.

Great stop off on the way home from Loch Ness this morning. We had rolls with Lorne Sausage which was a huge slice, very tasty, and the bacon roll packed full on very big rolls too. Tea was nice and the man behind the counter...

Nearing the end of our holiday we decided to visit snack shack. Although it seems expensive the food is so worth it. The chips were amazing and I can honestly say it was worth every penny . Great service.

In fairness, this place doesn’t claim to be more than a roadside pit stop, but even so our experience was variable. Several menu items were not available & the service was amateurish without being friendly. But it was comfortable (if you ignored the big plastic...

I stopped here on one of trips to Skye. I was impressed by the speed of service and the reasonable prices for the food. The menu ranges from burgers to hot sticky chicken. Sandwiches and light snacks are available to. The food was good and this is somewhere I would stop off again.

Every time we head south we stop in here now!! Love it! Food is great, lovely fire on sometimes. Not had a poor meal yet. Always busy-where do they come from!!

We visited last night as a family of 4. Very welcoming and our table was reserved next to the window. We all had starters which were lovely and 3 of us had steak pie...amazing! 1 had veggie burger...all huge portions. Desert was carrot cake and wow wow wow. Great selection of gins too! Highly recommend and will definitely visit again. Thankyou for an enjoyable evening.

This was the only place in the area I could find that could reserve a table for five during the Eat Out To Help Out initiative, on the way back to Kenmore after a day at the Highland Safari Park. Now I know why.Incidentally, we booked a table at the Loch Ericht Hotel Restaurant - it's the same place as in all these pics, but the other reviews call it the Snack Shack. There is a takeaway next door by that name, but the impression we had from the website was that we'd be eating in a proper hotel restaurant. The lounge reminded me of an 80s ski lodge - tall, vaulted ceilings, balcony, long, well stocked bar. Untidy but comfortable. Its age made us wonder about its cleanliness, but the only staff member we saw on duty (behind the bar and waitressing) wore PPS and we saw her disinfect the table so thought it would be OK. She was very pleasant, couldn't fault her at all. The place was, as others have said, quirky and in other circumstances I wouldn't have minded staying there.But the food was TERRIBLE. It started off well enough. Starters were all deep fried - garlic mushrooms and brie wedges and were tasty enough - certainly presented very nicely. But then out came the main courses. Our three children had macaroni cheese and all three said it was tasteless and wouldn't eat more than a few mouthfuls, one saying that the stringy cheese reminded her of microwaved cheese slices. I had crispy chilli beef with rice - beef was so rubbery and chewy I could barely break it down to swallow it. Chilli coating was BBQ sauce, rice was the blandest I've ever tasted (how on earth do you spoil rice?) carrots and other veg were soggy and overcooked.The only bright spot was my partner's steak pie, which was quite tasty - although again the veg was overcooked and tasteless. We didn't even finish dinner, just got up and left. Not even a coffee. It's difficult to know how to react to this, given how hard times are for these places at the moment, but even at half price we paid too much. We're not restaurant snobs - we're happy anywhere providing the food tastes good but this fell far short of any reasonable expectations. It just felt like a badly-cooked meal of the cheapest quality ingredients. Or perhaps the ingredients had been sitting in freezers right through lockdown and were now approaching the end of their viability - in fact, when my daughter opened a sachet of vinegar for her chips, she found the ingredients had separated and the caramel had congealed, leaving a dribble of something clear and unappetising. Says it all, really.

Best bacon rolls around even if they do charge you 50 pence just for cheese but even at 3 pounds it's a large bap lovely bacon and nice cheese pop in every week..yes some of its stuff is expensive but considering the location, it would need to charge more to break even .but if you're looking for the best Bacon roll on the A9 try here..and for a meal, it's lovely and warm inside with plenty of souvenirs and they also serve alcohol and have a pool table..

By modern standards the place is needs of an upgrade. However the place is clean, the food is simple and excellent as are the staff. It’s quirky and brilliant!

It was easy to find. It's a spacious place to snack. It was a cold day and the cafe had not had much time to warm up. Also, being a main Scottish Holiday there were not many people about. The lady at the counter was very welcoming and after taking our order at the counter, suggested where we would be warm and comfortable. She made sure that we were in direct line to one of a number of heaters.While we waited for our order we took time to enjoy the lovely view. The lady explained about the particular wild life that was playing in the running water.We had a traditional breakfast/brunch (egg and bacon) in a good-sized bun with a side of baked beans. Not greasy and nice and hot.There are split levels to negotiate at the snack shack. The toilet facilities are shared by the hotel attached to the Snack Shack.Though a bit dated, the toilets and wash area were all very clean and fresh. We were happy with our visit. It's not every day you get a knowledgeable talk on wildlife when you stop off for refreshments!

Fantastic place - great food and roaring fire with great service - strongly recommend stop off from A9 or just for touring Badenoch

A quick stop for something to eat as heading home so glad we did food was outstanding very good value for money the guy who was serving was very friendly shame the female working there had a face like a slapped behind but you definitely can’t fault the service the guy gave will definitely be back

Dropped in here for a comfort break. We had a look at the baking cabinet and decided to stop in. The wife had a chocolate crispie cake with a Fanta while I opted for a piece of millionaires shortbread with sugar free irn bru. The cakes had a lovely home baked flavour and the drinks were perfectly chilled. We would definitely come back and would not hesitate to recommend this café to anyone.

We stopped here on our way to Skye and were delighted with the quality and friendly service we received. We've previously stopped at House of Bruar and fought our way through the crowds. The food was excellent and we sat by the log fire. My son was utterly delighted that he could have a haggis toastie! We stopped again on the way home and were welcomed and remembered. The owner circled the room with a box of lollipops for any kids which helped too.

My family stopped in here en route from Edinburgh to Inverness, after visiting the Dalwhinnie distillery. We were pleasantly surprised not only by the price but also by the quality of the food. In particular the soups of the day, the big breakfast and the scones. The owner had a friendly chat with us and told us all about Toby the draught horse and the goat, who happily peered in at the restaurant windows to watch us eat.We enjoyed the experience so much that we came for lunch on our way back down to Edinburgh too, and were not disappointed.

I had the Scottish breakfast there yesterday morning. Now don't get me wrong, it was lovely but:The only other breakfast option was of a a vegetarian sort.I would have liked just a small plate with say, two eggs, two bacon and a slice of toast.Unfortunately there was only one option which was massive and no way could I finish it.There was sausage, bacon, egg, beans, haggis, black pudding and toast.This might be ok for younger hill climbing types but way too much food for an older person.Good though ;-)

Dropped in here for lunch with family for lunch and a cuppa. Friendly, not rushed, affordable and tasty. When having sandwiches at other places such as House of Bruar and Hettie's of Pitlochry they have been pricey, overly creamy and heavy but the roast beef, horseradish and salad sandwich was the best of the bunch. We also had a ham and cheese toastie, tuna and cheese toastie and a chicken burger. Everyone fully enjoyed. Fresh, crisp salad which were well presented on each plate. Lovely chicken fillet. I really don't understand how anyone can be negative about the price here, as I find many coffee shops in the Highlands quite pricey for what you get. Lovely, relaxed, informal lunch. You get exactly what you pay for. It was lovely to meet a smiley, lovely waitress from our home of Gateshead enjoying Highland life.

Dropped in here a few years ago and thought it was very cheap for basic everyday food so thought on our way down the road we would nip in for lunch

It looks a bit shabby on the outside, but don’t let this put you off, have eaten here on two evenings and found the food to be very good, had the steak pie first time and the fish cakes the second evening with a glass of wine, very reasonably priced and staff were very pleasant. I would definitely come here again after a day on the hills, hidden gem not to be missed!

Ci siamo fermati in questo "ristorante" dopo 2 ore di macchina, 3 di aereo e altre 3 ore di macchina, con una fame da lupi. Appena entrati ci ha assalito una odore nauseante di muffa e di vecchio e di fritto. Servizio veloce e staff cordiale. Abbiamo mangiato un Fish & Chips accompagnato da pisellini. La fame era tanta, ma il cibo non era un granchè. Il posto è proprio vecchio!

Eravamo in un bellissimo bad and breakfast a Dalwhinnie e quasi un po’ obbligati abbiamo fatto colazione in questo locale molto informale.

So happy to find this place and there are not a ton of restaurants in this area. They have a great beer/wine and whisky selection, comfortable seating and free wifi. Also I had some of the best pizza I’ve ever eaten and I live in Brooklyn NY so they are doing a great job here! Stop by if you are in the area.

Soupe et sandwichs excellents, propre, service très agréable ! Perdu au milieu de nulle part, endroit parfait pour un casse croûte !

Always a focal point in Dalwhinnie this place was closed for a number of years. This was our first visit since it reopened and rest assured we will be back. The food is wholesome Scottish cafe fare with a number of classic dishes available. Service was both efficient and very friendly. The surroundings are ‘tired’ but it is good to see someone making a go of a much needed facility in this small Highland village.

I do not know what the foreign visitors thought of the Scottish welcome that they got today in this place as it was NON EXISTANT. Was it too much trouble to get customers what they wanted instead of oh it's over there I was so embarrassed and for the prices, people were paying. The young girl was so dour it was unreal. The steak pie was so bland, I don't think it was even seasoned and the gravy was like water the veg was not just al dente.it was solid. NOTHING like the last time we visited the place but then again it was a lovely couple that had it then.

The food was good, freshly made and the portions were massive. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a bite to eat if you are around the aerea

Stopped for a bite to eat and was so disappointed at the interior . The Snack Shack is in need of a good decorating . Food was very basic but it was tasty . The toilets were in need of a good clean .

So glad to have stopped here for lunch today. We had the lentil soup and a cheeseburger. Food was fresh and out fast, service was With a warm friendly smile. Food was hot and delicious. Burger came with yum onion rings and fries. Recommend a stop over here.

Este pequeño restaurant esta estrategicamente ubicado en la A9, parada obligatoria para un snack para descansar un poco. Es acogedor, buena atencion, tiene lo indispensable, limpio y con buenos precios

Just off the A9, great Scottish breakfast, good coffee. Reasonably priced, way better than using a service station. Can't fault!

Pas clean, pas très bon, pas joli, des bières américaines... Pas grand chose de positif à dire sur ce resto. On peut s'y arrêter pour faire pipi et c'est déjà beaucoup.

On a long drive we needed a place to stop and grab a snack, a drink and to use the "facilities". The staff at the Snack Shack were friendly and the drinks and snacks were lovely.

Stopped here on the way to Dalwhinnie Distillery for lunch got a warm welcome the food was good and reasonably priced

Ci siamo fermati perchè di passaggio per fare rifornimento ( cè un benzinaio vicino) , e sinceramente è stata una bella scoperta.Il posto è molto carino , all'interno è presente una stufa camino e divanetti dove pranzare o fare colazione. Noi abbiamo optato per dei french toast davvero buonissimi e cappuccino. Grazie mille

Alors je suis déjà venue en 2017 avec ma sœur et là je débarque avec ma moitié

Ate here after visiting the Dalwhinnie distillery and really enjoyed it. Food was good, staff very friendly and we enjoyed saying hello to the horse on our way out!

We were looking for a pit stop for us to get some breakfast on the way up to Loch Ness, and came across the Snack Shack. Granted it doesn't look all that from outside, but the welcome inside is very friendly, the food we had was fantastic value for money, and tasted incredible. The gent that served us took some time to interact with our children, showing them napkin folding tricks.

Insanely nice service and the french toast was the best I ever tasted. tuna roll was tasty as well. Worth a stop!

Great service, and great food. We stopped in while on a group tour and my wife and I ordered Sticky Chicken. It was delicious! The gentleman at the register was very friendly.

Stopped on route to Inverness and we were greeted by what I can only describe as a very rude human being.. very snappy when asking about the menu. I can only suggest that he should go for some lessons on how to deal with customers and get some people skills and this should DEFINITELY not be the person to be greeting tourists!

Stopped for a snack and toilet break with the fam and the man serving was so rude and snappy to us we DEFINITELY won’t be back.. his customer service skills are SHOCKING!!

Stopped for food as we were renting a cottage nearby. Friendly staff and told us that we could take food away. Food was put in a take away box and was really delicious. Would go back again

We stopped here after doing the East drumochter hills. The staff were friendly the cakes big and delicious. There are lots of speciality teas on offer and the cafe is very clean and comfortable.

Very nice steak pie, broccoli soup and lovely view of little stream out of he back windows. Very quick and good service. Makes for a nice drive back to Edinburgh on the back roads to avoid the hustle on the motorway.

One of the problem of driving the A9 is the paucity of stopping places. My wife and I decided that we would stop in Dalwhinnie and the Snack Shack - which is attached to the Hotel was open.

There is a terrible atmosphere in this place, the large guy in a waistcoat was staring at us to make us hurry up with our coffee. Alongside the staring he was barking orders at the poor youngster working in there.

First time here so stopped for lunch. Place was empty when we arrived but was clean and comfy enough. The barman was friendly enough and told us to help ourselves when we asked for soup. He appeared with four rounds of fresh bread to go with it and our coffee. The soup was delicious and so was the bread but the soup needed to be a bit hotter. Decent sized piece of carrot cake which was good as well. Bit on the pricey side but worth a visit.

My wife and I stopped for something to eat breaking a long journey

We needed a light snack on our travels and regrettably chose this place. It takes a lot to force a score of one star from me (I would have given zero if that had been possible) but let me start.

We ate a light lunch here, after an excellent tour of the nearby Dalwhinnie distillery, as there was nowhere else to go. Our toasties were fine but the male server was gruff and unfriendly. If you are in a job serving the public you really should be capable of being pleasant. A shame as the setting was fine otherwise.

After increasing breakfast price to £9.25 I queried this with owner on phone only 3 days ago and he assured me £7.45 plus coffee £1.80 is indeed £9.25.

Called in for a meal before setting off on a back pack. The fish and chips were tasty and freshly made.

For the town a large restaurant of maybe 15 tables. Order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Not really table service. The food was ok. The cost was mid priced. There were a few choices on the menu, and daily specials. This restaurant primarily serves the hotel guests.

Stopped here just off the A9. The place is clean, staff are friendly and there is a selection of quick snacks. Outside there’s a pony, goat and lots of ducks to watch. Would stop again.

We had to eat here because there’s barely anywhere to eat in Dalwhinnie. However, we were pleasantly surprised - the food was tasty and the vibe was friendly. The review is only 3 star because there were a lot of flies buzzing around the hot drinks machines, which no one really wants to see!

We were driving down from the Eilean Donan Castle at Dornie to Edinburgh (a 193 mile drive) and were badly in need of a cafe for a quick break. Just before connecting to the A9 route, we found this place. Very friendly staff, great locales, and food that was comforting to all types of diets.

Went there for lunch. We were treated extremely badly by one of the male waiters - DG! He was rude to our group right from the time we entered the restaurant.

It is good to see this place open again, and I hope that it does well.

We firstly stopped here for breakfast was surprised at size and variety of rolls and fillings, stopped a few weeks later for dinner again food portions great and food amazing, staff are so helpful and friendly. We are due back in the area in August for weeks holiday guess where we're heading for breakfast on the way and lunch on the way back Highly recommend.

The sandwiches were pre-made and sort of soggy. The atmosphere was plain. The men's restroom was dirty. The latte I had was good, but I truly wish there were somewhere nearby for better lunch fare, as we wanted to eat before we went to Dalwhinnie Distillery (which was definitely worth touring).

We stopped here on route to the wildlife park for coffee and cake and were not disappointed. The coffee was great and the cake sizes were huge. all at a reasonable price. Good menu of breakfast, lunch and snack items and it was reasonably busy. Friendly staff too

Have been in The Snack Shack on 3 occasions since the current owners took it over.

The food here is lovely. I can highly recommend the full cooked breakfast. I'm sorry to say it beat me on a couple of occasions but I will keep trying. I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner here and am yet to have a bad meal. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Called in to this restaurant while waiting for people to do the distillery tour. Friendly and welcoming man at the counter but as far as the main attraction, the food, distinctly average. Large choice of menu but went for the fish and chips. As is often the case in these type of establishments the plate was an uninspiring site of the cheapest of frozen chips which taste of nothing, a spoonful of frozen peas and two fried fillets of, yes again, frozen fish! Cannot complain that it did not fill a hungry belly however it did not inspire me to either return or send others their way. Quite pricey at £11 as well! If only a little more love was shown to the preparation and delivery of food in such establishments then maybe Scotland’s culinary reputation might match that of the surrounding scenery. Less choice on the menu, less deep fried frozen food and more actual cooking = success and reputation. Granted it may be hard work but only a suggestion??

Ideally placed close to a petrol station. Group of 16 of us arrived and we had lunch quickly served, not much else about and was a welcome stop on a long Day’s riding

Stopped for a snack on the way north. Excellent facility and very popular as it was busy. Ordered our food and drink and it was delivered to our table quickly.

We hiked 2 hours in the wind to have a nice lunch before visiting the Dalwhinnie Distillery to find one bar. There are no other choices so next time we would bring our own picnic. The Snack Shack is really disappointing food and atmosphere-wise, including...

Called in by chance on route to the Dalwhinnie distillery and my wife tried the Scottish breakfast and I had the English breakfast served until 4pm which we both agreed was lovely, tea was in the price of just under £13 pounds and was well...
