Never have I experienced service so poor! Five tables seated and served after our order was taken. 1 hour and Forty minutes we waited before leaving and still not served. Cutlery was filthy and again not replaced. We were given plastic cups for our wine as it appears wine glasses are too much hassle. Do not get me wrong when I say food has been outstanding in the past but from where we sat I’m glad I didn’t see the poor hygiene practices of the kitchen staff. Tongues dropped on floor then used without cleaning and hand towels being thrown onto the grill to dispose off. I’m sure this is in contravention of environmental health practices! Will not be back as standards are nonexistent.

Visited a couple times with no issues before apart from a slight wait for our food, which I can understand when busy and made fresh. However, this experience fell short. The first issue was having to flag down a waitress to take our order, then subsequently waiting almost an hour to get our food (despite getting there early and it not being busy when we placed the order). My meal was average with hard inedible chips, nothing to rave about. However my partners £30 fillet steak arrived cold and dry accompanied by similar chips to mine. Again, flagged down a waitress to let them know the issue and was told they would make a new one, that was much appreciated. After another 15 minutes the new steak arrived which was cooked perfectly and hot like it should be. We felt like the main issue was the wait staff’s lack of attentiveness, they never once came over to check on the remade steak or if we wanted any more drinks. A very weak apology and no follow up led us to consider not coming back. It is a real shame as the chefs seem to do everything right but it is ruined by inexperienced wait staff.

What an awesome restaurant!! Staff were absolutely lovely and welcoming, they made a big impact -chefs too were friendly when saying hi to see the amazing work they are doing; you can see the whole kitchen at work and it was quite a show. Food was delicious, although the name has steak in it, we also saw delicious burgers and chicken kebabs which made ordering really difficult. Being inside a barn, we thought it would be very cold, especially at this time of the year, but it was warmer than our own home! The atmosphere was absolutely great. Staff made all the difference There are LOADS of gluten free options, such as the onion rings! Which, by the way, were delicious -not the usual greasy. I can't read this gem outside of St. Andrews any higher

This was my first time visiting this establishment and 16 of us went as part of our weekend trip to st Andrews (others have been here before and recommended it). The restaurant was very busy but we were seated within 30 minutes ( you can’t book a table unfortunately). We all ordered just about everything from the menu and everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. I had a fillet steak , which was cooked to perfection and chips, the chips were slightly overcooked but still good. I bought a round of drinks for 5 of us as we were the first to arrive and was delighted at the price, 4 pints and a bottle of coke was around £22, that’s something unheard of nowadays. I will certainly be back when visiting st Andrews again.

Great place to go for excellent steak. The meat is from their very own onsite butchers, so as fresh as you can get. They also serve sausages and lamb with chips, salad, onion rings, etc. The barn is what it is, so in the colder months (we went in January), it can be a bit chilly, but they do have a large heater that does bring the temp up when it's been on for a while. Overall, it's a great place to go if you're into your steaks. Unfortunately, there are no dogs allowed in the barn. Also, they only take reservations when st Andrews University graduation is on. Otherwise, you just turn up.

Prices what you'd expect for steak and it is good, the onion rings are the best I've had. But in terms of the steak the sear isn't good, and if you are a place specialising in steak you should be able to get your pan or grill hot enough to get a proper sear. It's good and the atmosphere is nice but it isn't one of the best steaks you can find.

I loved the cosy rustic barn which felt warm inside despite the miserable weather. The food was delious. I applaud Balgove with their ethical standards and wish more restaurants/farm shops would adapt these standards. I’m sorry but I simply could not give a higher score due to the poor standard of service by the staff in the barn. I’ve since read other reviews and it appears this wasn’t just a one off. The staff avoid eye contact, are slow to bring menus/drinks/food. There really is no excuse for the lack of customer service. Sort your staff out Balgove.

Venue is stunning and very cosy. Not much of a choice starter wise. Steaks were outstanding. Desserts were ok, once we eventually got them. Service was abysmal for not being overly busy at all, waited an age on our starters, then came but one short so had to wait a further 10 minutes on that (everyone else finished) Drinks were delivered one short too. Ordered a second round of drinks, we are still waiting on them yet! We were given some money off but the service did really disappoint us and don't think we will be back for that reason. Had big hopes for the Barn as well but left somewhat disappointed.

On arrival we were ignored by a chap on the door playing with his phone and it did not get any better to be honest. The food was okay although not very hot, served on a very well used chopping board (im surprised they get away with that hygiene wise) i was going to ask for some mustard the the girl was off before i had the chance. nobody came to check on us as is usually standard. We left without tipping but dont even think they cared, shame.

This was me and my partners first anniversary dinner. During the service there was zero food checks. We got the chateaubriand between the two of us, it was uncut burnt and £79 this is by far not worth the money. We also asked for the steak to be medium rare and came out cremated. Would like to state that the first time we came here it was fantastic but this time round it was seriously disappointing!!!

We last visited the St Andrews area back in August 2021, since then the Balgrove Larder and Steak Barn have been introduced. A nice touch, if you like Steak, but not much else if you don't. Bit pricey for my liking, £33 for a Sirloin, so I had Chicken instead. Our server, Turner (from California) was very good, chatty, professional and added to the experience of sitting at long tables, which you share with others. Would I go back, Yes probably.

Previously had a great time although incredibly rude and terrible service this time. We waited over an hour for our group of six to get served, other people who had arrived after got served before us. Then after waiting ages we finally got our food and finished, waited ages once again to pay, by this time it was almost 10pm and everyone had gone including the kitchen staff because the till wasn't working. Joanne, the manager, was quite abrupt as if it was our fault the till wasn't working and didn't have £180 in cash to pay, asked us to write down our credit card details on a piece of paper because of their problem! We kindly offered to return the following day to make our payment, and being honest people we turned up and had to wait. To top it off Joanne didn't have the decency to come out for us to pay. The bill was put through IN FULL with no goodwill gesture of deduction from it, the even asked us if we wanted to pay gratuity on top! The least they could have done was knock a bit off our bill and thanked us for coming back. It has all left a bad taste in our mouths after previously nice food.

Friday evening 6:30 PM was able to sit down immediately. Excellent atmosphere in this barn, which is warm and inviting with the open kitchen and Wood fired Grill. Started with the cauliflower, have the 8 ounce fillet with Parmesan truffle fries, and peppercorn sauce, sirloin steak with the cooked tomatoes and also the vegetarian burger with chickpeas. The food came out quickly, and all had a great flavor cooked perfectly. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back again.

Great place to grab a steak at a very reasonable price. Would've scored 5 for food except that we ordered 1 medium rare and 1 medium fillet steak and the calamari wasn't crispy. The medium fillet was slightly more medium well but was still delicious. The service was again great, except I ordered a lager initially and again for a second drink. However, a pale ale was delivered, I drank it as I'm not too fussed, but this small detail in the service would've made the 5 stars.

We knew you couldn’t make a reservation so we risked going Saturday night and were told approximately 40/45 min wait which was well worth it. Bar set up was a bit weird you order your drink, pay for it and then you wait to be called to collect your drink. I assume it works for them but thought it was a bit weird. The restaurant is in a barn, it was cosy and warm once inside but waiting outside for 45 mins was pretty cold. It was mega busy, big groups including lots of young kids obviously a very popular spot for locals. The wait for the food wasn’t too long and it was amazing. Food cooked to perfection. The service was very good too, all staff were friendly. The desserts were freshly made and yummy we shared the strawberry tart and was big enough. Plenty parking and only 5 min drive from St Andrews. Well worth a visit.

You dining in a large barn, so the atmosphere is a bit lacking, but it's also a nice change from the norm. Steaks and burgers are excellent. Cooked to perfection and tasted fantastic. Service is ok. Warning on some charges…You are charged extra for sauce for the steak - £10 (x4) for peppercorn sauce, which is a bit steep. And an eye-watering charge for a large glass of standard white wine at £13.10 – shockingly expensive.

Upon arriving at Balgove Farm Shop, to the right is a large Disneyland style faux Wild West Steak ranch barn. It is reminiscent of the sort of tat decoration you see whilst waiting in the queue at a theme park. Its screams rustic charm and homely food with the subtly of a shotgun. Curiously there are no doors into said barn, but instead a dark curtain through which you are beckoned by a sign. It is how I imagine a brothel owner might set up the entrance to a Wild West Fetish Night. Upon entering the cavernous barn, the looming darkness within (they do not believe in lighting, and energy costs are up) - means there is a degree of sensory deprivation. The senses will return when you walk into things, but hey ho, its the look they are going for and it saves money. No the set up is weird. But. The steak is actually rather good. I have to give credit where credit is due. I assume they sous vide then finish in a pan, but the meat is perfectly seasoned and cooked with real talent and flair. Hats off to the chefs, they know what they are doing. The (clearly batch cooked) chips are a little dry and often cooler than they really should be. Now we have been 3 times this year, because the steak (obviously from the farm shop is great). The starters are lacklustre and not worth your time or money. They are expensive for what they are, and clearly thrown together. However, temper your excitement of delicious steak with the knowledge you will be annoyed by the mind bendingly awful service. I have received better service in rural Congo. It is beyond bad. The staff are young all seemingly under 20 years old (presumably to save money). But there needs to be an older and more experienced manager of some sort. The staff huddle together around the till at the bar on their phones talking amongst themselves. Many patrons gave up trying to catch the staff’s eye (who were more interested in talking amongst themselves). Many (if not most) people ended walking up to the waiting staff at the till and asking them directly. This is a recurring theme. This place was not even half full when we have been there each time. On each visit we have been here in different groups, it is always the same set up. The problem is, it is a big restaurant and the staff will have to walk around asking people if they want things.. It is not great when people at the tables next to us on two occasions are actually laughing about how poor the service is. But the lack of staff experience and training really comes through with hygiene. We ordered wine. 4 glasses arrived. They were genuinely filthy. Utterly horrible. Clearly a dishwasher that needed rinse aid with scum stains and a funny smell. We politely asked for 4 clean glasses. A huff and dirty fingers stuck into the glasses to be taken away before the same ones returned a few minutes later again with thumb prints on the inside, grease and lipstick on the outside and not on a tray. Now this may seem minor, but wine is pretty cheap in the shops. If I am going to pay 6 times the purchase cost of a bottle of wine, it is reasonable to expect a clean glass. We gave up and cleaned the glasses ourselves on our shirts. Macdonalds manage clean cups...... We asked for a jug of water. Obviously this was ignored. HA! we got a few thimble sized glass. We asked for a jug and were then told by the waitress we would have to ask another waitress ourselves. I commented that this was odd. We would have ordered more food (and spent more money) had there been anyone at all proximate or interested in taking an order! Working in a restaurant is tough. I do get that, I’ve done it. It is even more tough if you employ young people and no one is experienced or managing. People whine about rubbish, but guys, don’t huddle and gossip with your backs to the room and playing on your phones. Clean glassware and crockery is a basic and reasonable expectation, and when people come in, it is nice to ask them if you can get them a drink or anything when they arrive. Good meat. Awful service, hope it gets better.

Having been here before we decided to go again since we were back in St Andrews we had chicken wings they were ok hardly any meat on them plus they should provide a wet wipe because they are very messy. We then had steak we both ordered fillet mine had been battered with a steak hammer it looked like a rump the steak was ok the chips a bit undercooked we also had onion rings they were ok and mushrooms All in all it was decent no more including tip we were £100 for 2 a bit expensive to sit in a barn for ok food will we be back ?

Perhaps the worst service I have ever experienced in my life. We were a group of five and ordered starters and main courses. Firstly, they all came together which was not noted on the menu and highly inconvenient. I had ordered a steak and asked for no pepper and on first inspection this seemed to have been catered for. However after one bite all I could taste was pepper so I flipped the steak over to reveal the entire reverse side covered in pepper. Clearly the kitchen had missed this on my order and tried to hide their mistake. A deceptive choice, particularly if I were allergic to pepper. I complained and it took fifteen minutes for a waitress to come back and respond with, ‘it’s really busy so the kitchen must have seen your request but forgot and served it anyway. Can you eat around the pepper?’ By this point the steak was stone cold so I asked for a replacement. Another 15 minutes went by and we asked on the status only for the waitress not to return. When my friends had finished their meals and a waitress came to clean their plates, I asked again where my meal was. The waitress returned and said the kitchen had forgotten and asked would I still like it. No apology was given. I finally got my meal fifteen minutes later and had the pleasure of eating it while all my friends had finished their meals. I can safely say it was not worth the effort and time taken to acquire it: the new steak was much smaller, thinner and looked like it was just slapped onto the board. When it came to pay I expected some sort of apology and recompense for such awful service however neither of these were given. Unsurprising now since the whole experience was marred by incompetence. When I brought this up, I wad told it was company policy to not refund steaks and the best they could do was take off my starter. How amiable. Avoid this place: complete and utter farce.

This trip was so disappointing for us as a family. The wait wasn’t too long to get in this time and the bar staff were lovely, however service inside was very poor and the standard of cleanliness and quality of food was poor. The tables were dirty, the condiments were empty, the wasps flying around (always there to be fair) However my biggest complaint was the chips and wet lettuce served with the steaks…..I can’t actually describe how poor the chips were??? Even the worst chippy I’ve been to wouldn’t give these out and the wet, limp, pale green lettuce - nothing else, no tomato, no mushroom - just lettuce!! When they have a huge variety for sale in the farm shop attached!! I’m afraid we won’t be back as a family and I really wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else. It is just not worth the money -£180 for a family of 4 and we were all disappointed.

Stumbled upon this place on our way through the down for lunch by luck, after reading some reviews decided to try it ourselves and once we got there for lunch time the place was happening. We tried the squid as a started and ordered a ribeye and fillet steaks. They squid was tasty and both steaks were cooked to perfection. After talking to staff found out everything comes from their farm in the back and also they also have daily specials depending on what surplus they have. They also have a market next door with great selection of meat and other items you can purchase right there. Wish this place was next door from my home 😅

Food was excellent but I give it only 3 stars because they had limited options for those that do not eat beef. A bigger selection of chicken dishes, more options for vegetarian than mushroom burger and perhaps a fish dish. I know it is called the steak barn but not all the party eats beef.

One of the best burgers I've ever had. Great casual setting, super friendly staff. Slightly dearer than most, but the quality shows. Would recommend to anyone.

Decent burger, but extremely uncomfortable seating. Wouldn't pay for a steak in these surroundings. Just a fast food joint really.

Lots of reviews saying dog friendly however NOT dog friendly in the Steak Barn as it clearly states dogs not allowed inside....missing a trick there

What a fantastic find this place is. Farm shop, cafe and best of all the steak barn. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Sign outside says about food being cooked to order which takes time - nothing to worry about there service was prompt and food amazing I can’t remember the last time I had T Bone steak. 2022 Update. Well we are back in Scotland so of course we had to return to Balgove - this time for lunch and we were not disappointed we had lovely fresh sandwiches and scones washed down with latte. Without doubt one of the nicest coffees I’ve had in a long time along with hands down the best scone I’ve ever tasted. Worth the trip north on its own.

Really lovely ambiance, ample parking space. Sadly they do not take bookings and the wait during busy hours are long. There’s a simple drinks bar outside to grab a drink while waiting. Cosy interior with bench tables. Amazing steak and fries. Friendly waiters and service.

Third time here, first time excellent , second time ok, third time really not great , so fed up with inconsistency in restaurants, on this and the visit before, no chicken wings available although on the menu, which is a shame because they were excellent., they offer an alternative which we made the mistake of getting and it’s exactly the same chicken as the main course wrap which we had ordered , think that should have been explained by the staff as it’s really off putting to have the same thing for a starter and main , and again first visit was a large wrap and really good sized portion of perfect succulent chicken, this time much less chicken, not as nicely cooked , smaller portion , and really dried up chips ( I understand the twice cooked thing but these were just past their best ) - really hope you can up your game again as really liked this place and £16.95 is a reasonable price for a chicken wrap but I’d like the chefs to really look at what’s going on the plate and give the best version of it every time , and whats happened to the chicken wings ?

Waited over an hour for a table (for some reason you can't book ahead) the kids got a bit restless but were OK when we finally got a table. Food is very decent (fried halloumi side is phenomenal) and the staff were nice too.

Excellent friendly service, not an expansive menu but it is a steak barn. We had burgers which were well cooked and presented, the Blue Murder cheese was really tasty. Our desserts were a strawberry tart which was delicious and sticky toffee pudding which was unfortunately a bit over cooked or heated. This was dealt with quickly, efficiently and with a very professional manner and even a smile, a replacement was brought out to me which was out of this world. Accidents happen , I will definitely be back and I'm sure it will be 5 stars next time . I saw steaks being cooked and served and am looking forward to sampling them.
