Good wetherdspoons with good cheap pub good.

dads burger came out cold and went up to the bar less than 2 minutes later came out with a new one and that was even colder than the last!! the server tried to say they were freshly made then felt it herself took it back and put it all in microwave to heat up. felt ill since i ate there today and have been spewing since. the amount of dishes lying was a put off piling high, glasses were covered in marks too and food took a while to come . just a overall bad experience

Nice breakfast the f coffee was fresh and tasty ☕ I had the miners Benedict which is egg black pudding with the Benedict sauce 😋 Freindly and efficient staff in a nice environment

Very quiet and peaceful. Service was good. Table needed a wipe from the night before. I would prefer potato scones, the hash browns over done and tasteless for me

One of the cleanest Spoons I've ever been in, went in for a quick dinner, good service, good food and good price 👍🏼 well done

Typical wetherspoons, decent food at good prices.

Went in today for a lunch Husband had small fish and chips I had shawarma wrap and chips Chips were best ive had in ages wrap was good too Husband enjoyed his fish n chips Good quick service and very pleasant staff Glad we went in

Excellent service excellent food great value for your money 💰 luv it 👍

Modern looking place,nice and quiet,but my food was lukewarm, but edible

Always welcoming staff, customer service is very good and the availability and range of drinks and menu items is vast. The only negative is that on occasion you find yourself on a table lacking condiments or menu etc. The staff will correct this if asked and this is no reason to slate this establishment. Chef, too much vinegar in the eggs benedict, kinda overpowering. This is a JD W and not Le Manoir😁

Just a quick nip in for food with my son. Food was decent. Had the Sticky Chicken Korean bowl. Very tasty. Fish n chips were a bit meh. Good value food as always

Nice pub decent prices food decent too not as cheap as it used to be

Lots of choice for drinks and food at very reasonable prices.

Great food amazing service quick and sufficient although some members of staff could smile more apart from that amazing place always busy great prices

Pub is fine but the blond woman who served me has had a personality bypass and it's working just fine. I asked if she was having a good day. I won't tell you her reply. If you don't like your job little lady, then. ?? But don't take it out on people who pay your wages. Won't be back. 👎

Ok for a quick bite to eat and drink service is ok .

Good sized portions, tasty grub, at great price, so what's not to like? Really enjoyed our meal, and the service was really speedy, even considered how busy the place was. Will certainly be back.

Went into Wetherspoons in Kilmarnock today with my son for breakfast. My son has learning difficulties and I am trying to promote his independence and self esteem so I sent to the bar to order breakfast. He returned to the table a couple of moments later visibly upset. He told me the man behind the bar refused to serve him and told him he had too much to drink. My son was 100% sober. I went to the bar to confront the barman and got a muted apology, Wetherspoons need to train their employees properly as this is not only detrimental to vulnerable peoples self esteem but verges on discrimination. Needless to say myself, friends and family will not be back

First time in here with friends & sat in the lovely beer garden. High fence for privacy & shelter, plenty tables , parasols & lush fake grass Staff & locals friendly.

JD Wetherspoon. The most tried and tested pub in Britain. We had stopped into Irvine for the day for leisure and found ourselves quite hungry so popped in here. Service was quick, my grandmother and I both had the fish and chips, tasted lovely but unfortunately we seemed to have a little food poisoning afterwards. The service was…alright, staff seemed to be quite busy and sort of put out, but things happen so this might have just have been a one off experience. We did tip which wasn’t really appreciated as much as we would have liked, not a lot of manners from the waiter who picked it up. A nice day out, and a nice pub, very dim in certain areas. 3 out of 5 as there is room for improvement.

Tatties and mash was terrible very dry and bland was ill and sick after eating

Good layout, fast service and fine value. Can be draughty if you sit near the doors.

We have just discovered the auld brig great prices and all the coffee you can drink

Nope, they don't allow dogs even outside!

Visted today for the first time place was really busy really disappointed that tables arent clearrd and cleaned between people leaving and other people coming in should have staff checking at all times even after asking oour table wasnt cleaned or the plqt3s cleared feom previous people meals where OK chips and chess weren't good nachos either and the hot chocolate fudge cake had oil floating near the ice cream bot the best wetherspoons we have visited

Decent pub. Staff are always friendly regardless of how late you're In.

Food garbage service diabolical, bar staff have no customer relations whatsoever will never be back 😒

Disgraceful it's not dog friendly, Sat outside and asked to leave coz of a small friendly dog. Shut it down.

No very good at all spaghetti bolognses really bad like.

Was looking forward to a nice poached egg on my miners muffin but was like boiled egg, yes very busy so got over cooked.

(This review written from the perspective of a Canadian) The first Wetherspoons I fell in love with—maybe it was the company that brought me along, but there's a lot to love either way. This is where I found out about unlimited café beverages, from a self-serve machine (no waiting around to bug a waiter for a refill)—making this place, and pretty much any Spoons an instant winner. If you vape, there are plenty of tables that have easy access to a (quite) open outdoors area (it's a parking lot); this is really nice. I can always step out for a minute, and making distance isn't hard—neither is coming back in. The food is always very good—I've had some orders come missing items, but staff are always helpful, despite the restaurant almost always being busy. For food, the only area I'd like to see evolved on—some five-spice items (such as the Naga Chili Chicken Vindaloo, available at the Sir John Moore and the Crystal Palace) would be fantastic; for any fans of spiciness, it will knock your socks off—but it's not available at this location. The item rated one spice lower—the Beef Madras—is very manageable for me--that extra spice the Naga Vindaloo has is like an extra order of magnitude; it takes what one can manage confidently, and lays on nine more. Overwhelming, in the best way—I do wish it, or something similar were here. (if you're at a Wetherspoons where it's served, it's very good stuff—it will have you putting those free decaf mochas to use!) Costs are very reasonable, considering how pricey eating out in the UK can be (in my experience). I specify the costs as ranging from £1-£10, as it's true that that is all you will often have to spend—however, I was almost always enticed to spend more; everything I've had has been very, very good in terms of texture, taste, and value for money. If it's from Wetherspoons, the chances are that it's good—so if you're in the UK and you want what's nearly guaranteed to be a good meal, Wetherspoons is a safe bet. (For anyone who drinks—a wide variety of pints are priced very reasonably, here. I can't go into too much detail, as I don't drink—but a friend who does gave me the quick rundown.) Regarding washrooms/toilets: The bathrooms are on the main floor—and the word that comes to mind is "dignified". As a male, I appreciate that there are separating walls for all of the urinals—the only time I'm not pee shy to the point of having trouble is when I'm back in Canada, under the strong influence of cannabis. I have been to many places in the UK (and Canada) without walls separating the urinals—it's never fun. The toilets themselves are very confidential—very, very tall separators. Good for you guys—few places anywhere at all get it so right. I think the Wetherspoons at the Sir John Moore even goes so far as to have individual toilets, entirely walled-off from one-another, with a very tall door; I've literally never seen such good execution on the idea of a "dignified public restroom", or anything close. Both are winners. Love the location, love the food, love how I never feel like I'm a prisoner or live in a barn—it really is too bad I don't live in the country, let alone the area! Great restaurant.

Always seem to be out of stock of anything I want and portions aren't great

Always know what you're going to get

Amazing food, the service is wow. Best atmosphere with a beautiful view in front of you

Decent pub for a pint , only had the 1 as was getting the train into Glasgow, service was good seating inside and outside , decent pint of Guinness

Went for dinner and when it came out all of it was cold took it back. The staff said we could heat it up in mircowave for you . One the barstaff short change me by a ten pounds . Wont go back into that pub.

I lost my phone... I thought I left it in the bathroom and I did not but the staff were lovely and accommodating even tho I was stressed and crying. I did indeed get my phone back (it wasn't in spoons tho) thank you to the staff and management 💗💗💗 xx

No one clearing tables and theres at least 6 tables need clearing. Food served cold and overcooked, this place needs is below expextations

Let's be honest, no one goes to any spoons. For the quality of their food. This one is no different. But speed of service for drinks and attention of staff to detail. Raises this one, slightly above the others

Can't fault the place, plus brilliant toilets . Perfect for waiting on the train to Glasgow out of Irvine .

Always clean with friendly, helpful staff. Good freshly made food

Have been going for a few months every week for breakfast. In the past it wasnt too bad. But now the breakfast comes out cold, the plate was cold and some of the food was cold. The eggs leave a lot to be desired. Sent it back , it was just microwaved, so result was everything was tough. Might need to look for somewhere else I think.

Good food and it's very clean, staff are friendly and happy to help

Okay not the best wetherspoons I've been in

Like any other. Staff always friendly and resonable prices.

Had a very disappointing breakfast. Freedom breakfast eggs were overcooked and burned underneath and covered up with other items to try and hide this. Husband had scottish breakfast and the toast was just hot bread. We were looking forward to it as we have had lovely meals here previously

I like Wetherspoons, The Food is nice. My favourite thing is the chicken tikka with garlic naan, but there are other nice things to eat too.

Normal run of the mill wethearspoins

Fish and chips were lovely large portions would highly recommend it

Burger Chips and Onion Rings all over cooked Tables were all dirty and sticky Very disappointed Will not teturn

Was in for a meal was delicious friendly staff ,food was hot and plenty of it will be back soon 😋

boring and dirty tables staffing minimal ,staff looked like no interest in being there. No atmosphere. Food passable. Asked for table cleaned got a look and told someone will get it !!!

My guest's food was uneditable, not fit for human consumption - the sirloin steak was a piece of cremated fat, the peppercorn sauce was cold and lumpy, the mashed potatoes had grown a skin of their own, the cold mushroom was soggy and the peas were cold. In the middle of ordering two antisocial staff just walked off for no apparent reason. The pig ignorant waitress slammed the potmess almost through the table when serving it. The food was not even fit for a dog, absolutely vile food being served at the Auld Brig, they are a disgrace to the Wetherspoon chain. I would give them a zero rating. I had to get a refund and we went somewhere else for dinner.

It is a Weatherspoon's, owned by a bloke who voted for brexit and then complained when he couldn't get any drivers to deliver his beer. I will never use a Wetherspoons again. I now use The Carrick. Other end of the river Gate but does food like Wetherspoons at Wetherspoons prices but without all the brexit guff

Excellent for a wee bite to eat

Basic food but a good all-rounder. Did the job.

Great breakfasts but steer clear of the entrance doorways if looking for a table, the wind howls in. Still, can't beat the prices. 👍

Good evening. Just a point l wish to raise with your company. I feel that you need to change the beans in the breckfast as they totaly ruined the taste of the whole thing. I certainly would have paid the extra to enjoy this but insted l feel l wont be back. Yours

Quick service, friendly staff. Toilets on same level as restaurant.

Pish, and usually overcrowded wae pensioners. They got rid of the Gourmet Burger which was like their one gid food item.

Came here for a wee treat for mother's day as we were having a day out. We ordered at the till, waited over 40 mins for our food the big rush was over at this point. Ordered a BBQ beef burger, kids pizza and fish and chips. The kids pizza plate was boiling hot would say it was hotter than the pizza it's self. The adults ones were like warm. We started to get our meal when taking the salad off my burger I noticed something shiny in it, upon closer look it was a strand of metal running through the actual burger patty. Husband went up to complain after they realized how big the peice of metal was we were offered a refund for the burger only even though no one else trusted eating theres. Would avoid at all cost would put me off visiting any of there sister branches as well

Fish n chips Is best by far in Irvine

My partner and I were in on Mother's day, the tables were filthy covered in plates, people were trying to clean there own tables, I have seen the place busier it was un organized chaos, staff were walking past dirty tables, the bar was covered in plates, glasses, cutlery, and when our food arrived it was cold very disappointed

Had a work lunch. Curry day on Thursday - a katsu chicken curry, soft drink and coffee was under £10 all in. You can't beat it. Fast too.

Went for breakfast and it was lovely

The food quality has gone down drastically and the menu never changes, cheap but nasty.

Good value. Friendly staff. Nice decor.

Excellent customer service from Angeline 5* from the english lass who got queue jumped! Haha x......................

Dump, rude staff, rotten atmosphere, don't take dogs even in beer garden. There are some lovely pubs in the town. Recommend you go elsewhere.

Havnt been to this place for a long time ,I thought I would give it a try . Pleasant staff,clean and well looked after. Had a coffee ( free refills) not Costa but still good , bit of toast as well .I stayed with a mate for over an hour.

Lovely place with a good selection of food and drink.

Good food, good service and friendly place

Avoid unless you want food poisoning. Member of staff large girl, spotty, blonde was picking her bum and then serving!!

Very busy and staff run off their feet but soso friendly and obliging

Back to normal with bar service. Always busy.

This place is in dire need of a good clean and more staff each shift. So many mistakes made in a small dinner and drinks order. Tables u occupied but full of empty glasses. You have to ask staff to clean table/clean yourself.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. STAFF ARE DISGUSTING INCLUDING MANAGER SHE IS VERY RUDE AND ALLOWS HER STAFF TO SWEAR AT CUSTOMERS AND THE FOOD IS DISGUSTING TO MATCH

Busy place with plenty of parking. The food is ok for what you are paying. I just love the bottomless coffee.

Wasnt inpressed, price has went up but portions have got smaller

We had an enjoyable meal with family x

Excellent place for a quiet pre or post shop coffee, but food is highly variable with regards to quality! I thought that the big chains and Franchises dealt with this by way of training in the 80's! Food on this occasion was edible, but overcooked fried eggs and rubbery hash browns, really not my idea of a good breakfast content! Damned shame because I've had some excellent meals here previously!

Came in for some breakfast while out shopping and all was delicious and tasty! And really good value for money, the restaurant itself needs a little TLC!

The jackfruit pizza is nice-not an option in all branches of Wetherspoons. The toilets in the Auld Brig aren't a mountainous trek like some! The staff are all friendly and approachable. Staggering distance to the bus stop, taxi rank and Irvine train station.

Great place to go for breakfast or just to have a cuppa and chat with friends

We popped in for a bite of lunch, struggled to find a table, and even when we did, we had to clear a pile of dirty glasses and plates off it. Once we had ordered, the main courses came in around 10 - 15 minutes. The dessert (ice cream) wasn't forthcoming soon after, so after 15 minutes we asked when it was coming, to be told "the order is in the kitchen, they'll bring it out ". After waiting another 15 minutes, we went back to the bar to see where the ice cream was, and one of the staff went into the kitchen and brought it out. It was disappointing to wait 30 minutes for a plate of ice cream.

Nice place,good prices..although they have went up like other places..get here early.. as hard to get a table in the afternoon,breakfast good,get here for 10am if you can and you'll get a table,😎

Breakfast here on 5/11/23. I had the large Scottish and my partner the Scottish. Waited over 20 minutes for them to arrive and when they did they were lukewarm with the beans and eggs conjealing and the square of butter totally melted, suggesting to me the breakfasts had sat some time before being brought to the table. Before starting to eat, my partner noticed neither of us had black pudding on our plates. I should have had 2 slices, my partner 1 slice. On approaching a member of staff to question our missing items I was told that there was no black pudding left! ( Great way to increase profits, not put an item on the plate and not tell the customer!). I was offered any other breakfast item as replacement and opted for link sausage. A short time later a staff member arrived at our table with 1 link sausage each for us. As I had been missing 2 slices of black pudding I would have expected 2 link sausages as replacement. Altogether not recommended as a breakfast venue. I have used Wetherspoons all over the UK and am a regular in the Pioneer in Prestwick and The Paddle Steamer in Largs. Todays experience falls well short of what I have come to expect of Wetherspoons.

It's a nice pub to drink in. It gets busy even mid week. Staff were polite

Ordered a burger meal, food came warm and was lovely. Got a few drinks. Would definitely recommend and will be back soon. Didny help coming here then deciding to go shopping whilst a bit tipsy 🤣 was worth it tho 🤣👌🏼xx

Nice. Clean, locked, disabled toilet.

Came in for dinner recently with my family and everything was delicious, the prices have most definitely went up however everything has! The food was tasty and quick to arrive we all really enjoyed it.

Didn't have food just a couple of drinks and found it very inexpensive

Just typical Wetherspons , food can be a hit or miss affair , depends on what you order whether its Ok or notsame with all Wetherspoons , at least prices are very reasonable

Love this place. Great for food and drinks and at decent prices.

Great pub with very friendly bar staff and management team...very clean in all areas and great local customers. Food again great for the price..can't fault

No atmosphere in weather spoon pub's

Moody girl serving, all other staff were great

Spoons #151 unusual in the fact that there is a car park adjacent to the he front door Very friendly staff, only had Apple crumble and a drink, maybe not the 6 minute target but was worth the wait Great central location for shopping Apparently more popular for food than for the drinkers We sat up on a nice bright mezzanine Had to go downstairs to the ground floor for the toilets, a little ironic 😂

Great spot for a bite to eat. Food was hot on arrival and tasted delicious. Excellent service from the staff.
