Great meal to have. Definitely would come back for their pulled pork burger as well as their tbone steaks. Lovely service, people and selection of food. Extremely worth eating here.

On the main road with a large car park so access is easy. Handy online booking system so you can ensure you get a table. Staff are friendly and welcoming, the food is excellent and service is quick. This was our first visit, but we'll definitely be back.

This is not a hotel, it's Souter Johnny's old house. Living and breathing history and it's really a small cottage, in a beautiful little village. Love visiting here and also getting ice cream 🍦 from the cafe'

A five minute drive from Trump Turnberry Golf Course and you'll enjoy exquisitely presented food delivered with a warm welcoming service in a historic building for a fraction of the price you'll pay at Turnberry. I asked for suggestions on something healthy and tasty for lunch that wouldn't bloat me fir the afternoon's golf. The waiter recommended the salmon and although not overly keen on salmon, I accepted his recommendation and how right that decision was to prove! Devine! My hungry bother conquered the colossal banoffee sundae for dessert. Must confess I did indulge in the lighter but I'm sure equally tasty option with the biscoff cheesecake. Beautiful!

We're camping at a site not far from this Inn, and as we were looking for somewhere to eat out tonight after arriving and setting up we looked through the reviews of local restaurants and this one jumped out right away - the reviews were almost all gushing with praise about the quality of the food - so we decided to give it a go. Good call. The food was genuinely stunningly good, absolutely first class, served quickly and red hot too. I'd go so far as to say it was one of the best meals we've had anywhere. My Korean sticky ribs were melt-in-the-mouth, and the lamb chops were thick and tender and perfectly cooked. Simply first class. We treated ourselves to a sundae each for dessert and they were huge, with OMG-good locally produced ice cream and lovely sauce, too. As I said, one of the best meals we've had anywhere in our travels. Very friendly and attentive staff too.

Found this gem of a pub when out on Tuesday. It is without a doubt the best food we have eaten out in a very long time. Excellent service from the lovely Australian waitress as well. Would highly recommend making a diversion to include this restaurant if you’re exploring Scotland. Will definitely visit again.

Visited for an early evening meal. Lovely dining areas with a hybrid of modern and rustic decor. Service very attentive from friendly staff who were keen to help. Food was tasty, with generous portions. Would recommend the Aero mint ice cream sundae for anyone with a sweet tooth, incredible and worth the money. I'm only knocking a star off because it was really busy, which affected the ambience a bit - a victim of its own success in that regard.

Two car loads, ie eight adults, called in last minute on the way to the Cairnryan ferry. Phoned ahead to confirm that they had a gluten free menu, they had... The service was first class, as we were in a rush.... The menu was excellent and they offered GF. Plenty of parking with a lovely atmosphere and surroundings. Pity we hadn't more time to spend there, but we will certainly be back..... Many thanks

Generous portions, delicious kids meals, lovely big sandwich with all the trimmings.....and then we saw the dessert menu! You could come here just for the dessert! Efficient and friendly staff, the place seemed to run like clockwork with a relaxed atmosphere even though it was very busy. Thanks for a lovely lunch - worth every penny.

We ordered Fish and Chips for 4 of us to take away so we could go and sit on the beach to eat. We decided to sit at the bar while they cooked. And so ordered a round of drinks. However, the food was done so impressively quickly that we had to down the last bit of our drinks! The both the fish and the chips was beautifully cooked. They were still piping hot when we reached the beach 10 minutes later. Just the perfect amount of saltiness. Not greasy at all. Came with a lovely portion of tartare sauce and a good wedge of lemon. Our only criticism was that the food was too blooming filling for us to go and order a second helping! The staff were very lovely too Would absolutely recommend!

The restaurant looks very cosy inside with a fireplace and a TV around it. The waitress was outstanding, and the food was exactly what I was looking for. We had our breakfast here. We were so pleased with the service. We were very impressed with the quality of the food and beverage we received. The restaurant also has a great ice cream selection and garden by the A77 which is open on a nice day. If you are passing by this beautiful town in Scotland, called Kirkoswald make sure that you have a drink and food here. I can highly recommend The Souter's Inn.

What a beautiful place to eat. This place is impressive. The grounds are beautiful and extremely well kept, the interior is very well decorated and extremely well kept. The staff Very polite, very courteous and very pleasant. The restaurant is beautiful, very well kept and of a very high standard. The food I could not fault the food in any way shape or form, it was perfect. This restaurant was packed and had a line of people waiting to eat. My one and only criticism would be because it was so busy it was really noisy. This is not a fault the staff or the restaurant could do anything about and is a victim of its own success in that respect. Some people don’t mind this I sadly do, but like I say it has no reflection on the restaurant, The staff or the food. Would I eat here again? Without a shadow of a doubt yes I would. Amazing food guys thank you.

Stopped in here, by chance, for a family meal. Restaurant was busy. Everything looked fresh clean and inviting. Staff all appeared to be young(maybe I'm just getting old). They were friendly and very efficient at their jobs. Interesting menu and I really was impressed with my meal. Not the cheapest of places to eat out, nor is it a rip off. The quality of food and the pleasant surroundings and cheery staff made it worth every penny. There also was a shopping area as you enter the premises but sadly I didn't get a chance to browse there, but again everything looked very inviting. I'd love to visit again.

We spent the day on the coast sightseeing and came here for a later lunch (3pm). The tables were 80% occupied but the pace was slow, the crowd was older and were having their dinner. The server swapped my bread order with my friend (white vs whole wheat) which we didn't correct the server. I ordered a basil chicken sandwich which was dry and looking at the receipt shows the waitress swapped out the basil chicken for southwestern chicken and didn't tell me. Flagging someone down to ask about my dish was hard so instead of ordering coffee for the road we walked up to the bar and asked for our bill, paid, and just left. We choose this place due to the great reviews but I would have rather gone to a fast food place for better service.

Very generous portions - we were almost full after our starters! Burgers were excellent, as was the caesar salad. Salt & pepper calamari delicious although surprisingly served with ketchup. Flavours on sea bass and haggis were a bit underwhelming. We’d recommend sticking to the more ‘pub food’ options here.

The Lochgreen Hotel is a beautiful hotel. We ate in the main restaurant and had a very good meal. The experience was slightly let down by the service, especially towards the end of the evening when virtually no waiting staff were around. At one point I thought I might need to go into the kitchen to get someone. Receptionist also lost all enthusiasm by the end of the evening, she only barely said goodbye. Staff need to keep standards up until the place closes.

I've been 3 times over the last year, once was exceptional, once was ok and most recent visit was disappointing. Scallop starter and fillet steak were wonderful, flavorful and beautifully cooked. 'Denver' wagu special was disappointing, after querying what kind of cut it was the waitress disappeared and came back having seemingly asked the chef and told me it was similar to a cross between fillet and sirloin... I ordered it based on that. When it arrived it was blue instead of medium rare and really really tough. Waitress took it away and brought it back 10 mins later, said the chef agreed it was a bad cut but had inexplicably cooked it for longer and I was asked if I wanted it? It was still tough so I asked for something else. By the time it was brought out my wife's meal was long finished and I had lost the notion. At it's best the food is amazing, but if I'm spending £100+ per head I want consistency, and I don't want my menu to be behind a plastic cover. I won't be rushing back after my most recent experience.
