The Birkhill Inn in Angus

Slightly noisy table beside us but other than that great

Perfect place for a family gathering

As always, it is a safe place to meet family and enjoy a special meal. High tea is a family favourite. Thanks to all who work hard to ensure great family time together.

Lovely place staff are great xxxxxxxxx

Great parking and friendly staff. Food brought to the table within 5 minutes and 100% microwaved. Do not recommend and many better options at the price point. Overrated is an understatement.

I've been going here since I was a toddler, it's always been a staple restaurant in my growing up and it brings back numerous memories every single time I go, I can't be happier with this place. The food is top notch and never fails to warm my soul. Extremely good 100/10

Great family restaurant. Lentil soup was excellent. Haddock and chips were of a nice sized portion and served very hot. Service and staff were excellent. Restaurant was busy but we were seated straight away but we did not have a long wait to be served. Others had black pudding stuffed chicken and steak burger. Both again were nice sized portions, hot and very tasty.

Great place to dine great service good food very roomy place enjoyed it all

Loads of parking. Large restaurant. Easy access. Seated quickly, although staff member seemed disinterested and didn't smile once. Ordered drinks, came fairly quickly. Ordered 2x macaroni cheese. Not sure what sauce they use or maybe the cheese used to make the sauce, but it had a horrible bitter taste to it, almost like a sick taste. Only ate a few forkfuls. Tomato ketchup couldn't even save it. Came with chips, they were ok, small pot of salad and 1 slice of thin garlic bread. For almost £15 each it was not worth the money at all. Nobody visited whilst we were eating to ask if everything was OK with our meal, bar staff whilst paying were also disinterested with no smiling. Gone are the days this was the place to go, we won't be back.

Food good. My son the steak pie. I wish I had it also.

The steak pie was excellent as was the sticky toffee pudding. Fish not great.

Popped into The Birkhill Inn as we were passing on our way to Dundee. I'm glad we did. Good choices on the menu. My partner had the sea food, and I had the steak pie. Both meals were substantial, I'm glad I didn't have a starter. The pie is a special of The Brkhill, I can see why. Lots of meat, pastry crispy, and the gravy was very tasty. My partner thoughroughly enjoyed the sea food selection too. A substantial plate, very tasteful. Staff excellent, very attentive but unobtrusive. Reasonable price for both meals with drinks Now I've found The Brkhill, I'll definitely be using it again.

The "Famous Birkie Steak Pie" is a myth from the past. The £16.50 steak pie consisted of 4 tiny pieces of meat, gelatinous "gravy" and pastry, a far cry from the hey day of the legendary steak pie. This place used to be bulging at lunch times, we left about 1.30pm and the place was far from busy, the bar/lounge was empty, seems people have voted with their feet. This was not my choice of venue and in future it will be a hard no thanks, a sad situation. The staff were excellent and as I was with other family, I was not able to complain before the bill was paid. Recommendation would be to drive to the Station Hotel in Carnoustie, beautiful home made steak pie at £13.95, all home made, sadly the usual frozen chips but hey you can't have perfection for that price. I've been persuaded 3 times to give the Birkie another go, there won't be a 4th.

It was unfortunately a funeral wake. Food was good

Great steak pie! Cosy restaurant for nice dinner. Quaint interior.

Stopped by on our way through to Blairgowrie, looked fine, not over busy. But not dog friendly in any area so we didn’t stop.

Went along for afternoon lunch with friends, thoroughly enjoyable afternoon meal from snack menu. Great catch up with friends too as atmosphere was very friendly and comfortable

Good value and great service, what's not to like!

A bit expensive for a tea.Soft drinks prices wat to expensive

Lovely place staff so helpful and was lovely and well cooked play area for little ones plus a kids menu it was very busy and might be better to book xx

Fantastic service, food and atmosphere, staff were amazing and always happy to help!!

Not the cheapest place but worth the money. Steak pie is heavenly, macaroni is filling and lasagne tasty. Portions are not small.

Nice place good food parking small kids play area and a beer garden with sun facing most of the day good beer nice staff food was probably a 7 out of 10

Good plates and good option to stop and eat something in a cozy place during a car trip

The food was amazing, I opted for the famous steak pie which lived up to its name and my partner got the Mac n cheese which was delicious. Portions were huge and really good value for money. Only down side was we ordered dessert, waited almost 30 minutes and no wait staff approached us whilst we were waiting so we left and paid our bill. It turned out the waiter never took our dessert order to the kitchen.

So glad we stopped here for dinner while staying at piperdam the food was fantastic and so was the service we hadn’t booked in advance but we stopped in on our way back to the lodges and so glad we did i highly recommend the steak pie it was fantastic and the portion sizes were great 👍🏻 I would definitely recommend and i will definitely be returning.

Having been at the birkhill inn several times over the years we know that the food is always pretty good. We decided to visit again today. After our meal i decided to have a dessert which was the chocolate fudge cake and cream. Very much aware desserts have a good mark up on them (i worked in a hotel in the same company for a few years) and that they are mostly provided by brake bros. The price this time was £6.75. However when it arrived i needed a microscope to actually see it. It was tiny. Maybe 2 or 3 mouthfuls. It was almost like the slice had been sliced again and was so thin and small it looked pathetic on the big plate. The waitress said she would speak to the duty manager as she agreed it was tiny too. She came back saying he said it was a standard size and looked mortified for having to tell us. The duty manager didnt even have the manners to come over and tell us himself. At that point i said i would not have it and she took it away. I have had that dessert before and it was never that small. The mark up on it must have been at least 95%. When leaving the premises, we were delighted to see that the duty manager had not disappeared, but was laughing and chatting away to other customers. Pity he didn't actually do his job and speak to the customers who spoke very politely to the waitress about the problem they had had. Meanwhile anyone looking for a dessert at the birkhill inn, go and buy a cake elsewhere - more cake for less money. Or bring a microscope with you.

Food was ok, nothing more and nothing less!

Went for family lunch here today was amazing! Staff friendly with great service! Food was a fantastic great portions. Would recommend trying there famous steak pie ! Ticks on the boxes. Can’t wait for my next visit 👍

Great homemade steak pie and a nice friendly atmosphere, staff always welcoming on any visit. Portions are huge on the plate but not on the wallet most importantly.

Never disappoints. Always great food and great service.

Callum & the team looked after us like we were royalty! Highly recommend to anyone ✨

Flawless every single visit. Great food and lovely staff

Easy to get to from Dundee and plenty of parking. The food was very good and I can recommend the fish and chips. The service was also excellent.

The Birkie used to a place I visited lots back in the early 2000s, because we were in the area I knew I had to take my parents and it did not disappoint. Although the staff have obviously changed over the years the food has not, the steak pie was every bit as good as I remembered it to be! Amazing food, fantastic service and good prices. Hopefully won't be leaving it another 20 years before I visit again.

GOOD FOOD.GOOD SERVICE. STAFF FRIENDLY AND EFFICIENT. GO SEE FOR YOURSELF. 👍🍷🍺

Been here many times before and would have recommended to anyone. Sadly we were there the other night with friends we had recommended the place to. On entering we gave our names for the reservation and were greeted with a grunt and a " follow me" no smile no nothing. At the table we were left sitting until another waiter came and took our drinks order and left us the menus. Famous steak pies all round. What a mistake. You needed to be careful with the pasty and have private dental care as it was that hard and just chucked on the plate. We did make mention of this but this was simply ignored. When we are in Dundee we would always make a point of going to the Berkhill sadly that will not be happening again. Their website is also a bit confusing with varying prices. Real pity as it was one of our favourite places.

Had a lovely day with friends and we enjoyed really good food, will definitely be back again sometime soon 😊

Went out tonight for a birthday dinner with family, 2 steak pie, 2 fish n chips and a Mac cheese. Along with 2 kids meals. All food was pretty average, chips served with fish were luke warm and my wife said her steak pie was pretty tasteless. Waitress seemed to have left her smile at home as it certainly wasn’t on display. Choc pudding and ice cream at over £7 a serving was ridiculously small served with a tiny scoop of ice cream. Not impressed tbh and would not rush back… or recommend.

The food here is great staff friendly and helpful would def recommend it steak pie to die for x

Brilliant service and great food 😁😁😁

Had a lovely meal the other evening. We were staying at Piperdam which was a huge disappointment and going to this restaurant was actually the best part of our trip! Definitely eat here if you are staying in the area. Food was amazing and couldn't fault it. I would have given 5 star but service was slow for drinks and they got forgotten about when we ordered more so we were left without drinks whilst eating the meal. However the food arrived very fast. Otherwise it was great and we will definitely return if in the area.

Had half portion of the salad (roast beef), and it was more than ample. I found roast beef to be slightly on the dry side but that is my personal opinion.

Stopped in past for lunch with my daughter .This is where we have came for years when in the area .Couldn’t fault the food as usual.I had the steak pie and my daughter had the fish .Service was perfect.The only negative i would say is that the prices are a bit on the expensive side to what they used to be with most main courses around the £16 mark (where we live most mains are around £13).But the food was perfect and certainly won’t stop us coming back in the future

Great mid-week lunch in this busy pub restaurant. Delicious loaded potato skins with Chilli to share for our starter, followed by a fabulous Homemade Steak pie and generous Gammon with Eggs and chips. No room for pudding!!

Seems to have gone downhill! Food was pretty poor, service not great either. Waited for about 5 minutes to be seated and not a very nice welcome! Was more disappointed to have paid £110 for 4 average meals on Father's Day having driven from Glasgow.

Food was excellent. Service was excellent until it came to the desert where the waitress repeatedly asked if we were ready for dessert even though we said we weren't and would let her know when we were. Everything else was spot on.

This is possibly the best Restaurant in the Dundee area for lunch. We went there on fathers day and during the week after that in June 24. Food is fantastic, service very efficient and surroundings are very nice, cant ask for more.

Great place and delicious food,service is spot on too.

The food was excellent, as always. For the most part, the service was also excellent, however, the waitress who was responsible for asking if we wanted desert was a bit pushy and kept coming back asking if we were ready to order even though we said we weren't ready. In the end we just ordered but it would have been nice to allow our main meal 10 or 15 minutes to go down.

Food was basic. Service shocking! Staff very young and inexperienced, didn't no what kinda deserts, couldn't tell if burger is homemade, was eating and told by staff I need to leave my meal and order drink at bar which was then told by other staff it is table service. Very poor service. Won't be back

Booked a table for 4,with Canadian cousins....really good meals and good portions....staff must also get a mention,all those whom served us today..TOP NOTCH!

Had steak pie , the pastry looked burnt and was hard , not fresh , the gravy wasn’t too my liking, frozen chips and under cooked veggies, the staff were nice though , took a photo but can’t seem to post it

Very disappointed... 1) I had caesar salad....but way way too spicy had to leave most of it 2) salad only had lettuce ,croutons, chicken and bacon...no eggs??? 3) worst bit...Option on menu said potatoes or chips... When chips arrived the non empathy of waiter Ross was poor...he never offered option..when I politely asked he sid ' I never said therefore default is chip's!' Never been to restaurant where don't offer customer the option..then blame customer! 4) Ross asked how meal was ( though daft question as I had half of it on plate)..I explained why I'd left it...not an ounce of sympathy or apology ! ( tbf the polite young lady behind the bar was sorry to hear and said would feed back to chef) Very disappointed as notcheap!

Staff were friendly, bit slow however very welcoming and food was amazing

The best restaurant i have been to ! The staff are so welcoming and kind. 1 boy in particular is absolutely amazing. The food is always 10/10. i’ve never had a bad experience here. I recommend the steak pie as it’s lovely and will continue to dine here in the future!

Food excellent service very good would always recommend birkie to anyone

Good sized portions of quality food served by friendly efficient staff. Relaxed comfortable atmosphere.

Servers were great, food was amazing. However, the bar supervisor when we came to pay was extremely hostile, one of my family members had an extra drink on the bill which we didn’t have and when we asked for it to be taken off, the bar supervisor claimed he had ordered a double of this drink, which he hadn’t, and had said my family member had watched him make it, which is impossible since he went to the toilet. He argued with us, including a 16 year old girl…threatening to show us CCTV which he didn’t. Spent £170, as i said servers were amazing and the food was incredible but this left a bad taste in my mouth.

This place was very busy when we went in. The quality of food & service was excellent & we will be back.

Sadly it was a funeral... Staff were excellent as was the food

I was there with my friends for my birthday. I wanted to order a seafood platter but also have breaded chicken nuggets, breaded cheese nuggets and chips. And they did that for me. The atmosphere is very pleasant both inside and outside. The staff is friendly. The food was prepared quickly even though the restaurant was full. I think only music is missing. At least there was no music outside. I like going there.

A massive thank you to Cheryl for organising a funeral tea very last minute and being extremely helpful. And to Ross and team on the day for looking after my family. The food and drink was exactly as advertised and fit the occasion perfectly.

First time visiting, the food was fantastic, on the bigger side portion wise, but worth it. The staff were fantastic! It was a busy Saturday, and they were polite, friendly and knowledgeable of their menu and drinks. Will definitely return next time we are in the area.

Was here today for my birthday lunch and the food was fantastic. Super nice staff very helpful. Deffo recommend 👌

Friendly staff. Good sized portions. Fast service. Was busy but staff were still attentive. Tasty food.

Went with friends for supper, local band playing, so was busier than usual. The band played a mix of Motown, some Noryhern soul,and a mix of other songs. Good food, steak pie looked delicious, I had chicken ceasar salad, slightly spicy, but good, notheless Wine was Zinfandel, but was only 9%, OK but not the best, will try different next time Reccomend for a lovely meal & night out Lots of parking space at rear, but I notice the signs it's getting work done next week (15/04/24),

I recently dined at The Birkhill Inn in Dundee, and it was an average experience from start to finish. While the restaurant's ambiance may be casual, the quality of the food was pleasant. The menu offers a range of classic pub grub dishes, all executed with care and flavor. From hearty burgers to comforting pies, each dish showcased fresh ingredients and skillful preparation. The portions were generous, ensuring that no one left the table hungry. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant dining atmosphere. Despite the bustling nature of the pub, the staff made sure to attend to our needs promptly and with a smile. While The Birkhill Inn may not boast a Michelin-starred status, its honest and delicious fare more than makes up for it. For a satisfying meal that won't break the bank, I highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try during your visit to Dundee.

Food is amazing especially the sticky toffee pudding

Good selection of quality food at reasonable prices. Great service from entirely to the Restaurant till you leave.

Had a lovely meal fish ,chips and peas ,hot chocolate and sticky toffee pudding thank you, there plenty of parking at the back ,there is toilets

Was here for a funeral, sandwiches, cakes and scones all good and tasty. Service ace and lovely we replace. Parking area

Very Nice Restaurant in a very nice Space We have not been for a while but expected it still to be a very good place for a Lunch we were not disappointed everyone we came into contact with with were very friendly and welcoming so off to a good start Our meals were both very good Gammon with everything and A very Meaty Lasagne we could not complain about anything except maybe there was a lot on your plate ! It’s a very restaurant too lovely and clean With as I said earlier very nice staff We will return and take some pictures of the food Plenty of space for parties as well We might consider a large group of us sometime but we would phone them first as they are always pretty busy Situated along the road from Camperdown Park or come up Gordie Bray or from Muirhead Plenty of room for parking too My only comment would be maybe a few more disabled spaces A Top Class Restaurant with a young enthusiastic team

Booked the Birkhill Inn for my dad's 85th Birthday. Can't thank the staff enough for making it such a wonderful day. He had a great time. I don't expect it was the easiest for staff - a party of 16 over 2 tables including elderly, disabled and the odd fussy customer. The serving staff were outstanding, so respectful and patient. Nothing was too much trouble. Everyone loved the food - steak pie is still the best! Shout out in particular to the young staff - your care and attention to our party was fantastic. Thank you so much x

Busy place with excellent service. Food looks much better than it tastes. We found it a bit bland. Nonetheless I will probably go again and get some more condiments next time.

Amazing food and quick service 10/10 Also asked for a slightly larger kids portion as I was feeding twins and they sorted me out without a issue

We had excellent food. Everyone has a good time and had time to relax after the meal without feeling we had to rush out. I would recommend the Birkhill Inn to others.

50p charged for hot milk with my coffee!! I have never been charged for hot milk anywhere else in Scotland. Shame on you the management at Birkhill Inn. Last time I'll be having a coffee at Birkhill Inn

Got some albino chicken nuggets for my little boy, the burger we got wasn’t nice and the chicken gojouns were ok. Won’t be back staff didn’t seem to care that we hardly eat what was on the plate had to tell them I wasn’t paying for the dishes.

We were greeted by a woman whose face would have cracked if she’d smiled! Led to a table and left with menus. Gave order. Fish dry and hard batter! Chips dry and not hot. Steak pie chucked on plate with gravy which there was no taste to. Pie crust abysmal, hard! I believe people go there because they can’t be bothered cooking….certainly not for the service nor the food. The Birkie used to be amazing selling the best steak pie but obviously a change of chef over the years. Would not recommend and won’t be back.

I went with 2 friends for an evening meal and it was lovely ,plenty of it, the service was great and the staff were very helpful, we were impressed and will go again

A solid local gem the food is top notch pub grub portion sizes on point, we were a party of 30 and the food arrived swiftly and without disappointment. I had the prawns which were good although the salad was undressed and could have been better, for the main I had a burger which was ok nothing amazing but enjoyable. The place is always busy so the atmosphere is as you would expect.

We had a lovely meal, we went for an early Mothers Day meal the food was excellent it was served piping hot and the portions were great. The service was excellent, from the moment we arrived we were looked after so well, the 2 girls serving us Kayden and Sophie were lovely nothing was too much trouble for them lovely girls. Can’t wait to go back…

The food was good quality the prices were fair but the disorganisation let them down on service due to order errors. overall a good place to eat but could use some minor improvements

very friendly staff and good food

Popped in for lunch. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Excellent service. All the food was very tasty with generous portions. The steak pie was so tasty as was the chicken with black pudding. Our little grandson had the macaroni cheese which he really enjoyed. We will definitely visit again.

Lovely quick family meal - fast service, good food. Bit slow coming to take the dessert order. We were seated in the converstory section - which is looking rather tired nowadays

Fantastic service staff were very polite and efficient,our meals were lovely, award winning steak 😀 and chicken stuffed with black pudding, then sticky toffee pudding with cream and cheese cake with cream Highly recommend

Recently, dining out has become a rare indulgence, and we approach our lunch choices with care. Based on past experiences, The Birkhill Inn (affectionately known as ‘Birkie’) has been a reliable choice for us. For starters, I enjoyed the potato skins, while my husband opted for the mozzarella sticks—both dishes were quite good, although the portions were quite generous for an appetizer. I ended up taking half of my potato skin home. As for the main course, we both ordered the steak pie, which has typically been a favorite. However, this time, the pastry was undercooked. We managed by pushing the raw pastry aside, but the real disappointment was the jellied gravy—it lacked the usual flavor and fell short of our expectations. I regret not speaking up at the time, but I didn’t want to come across as a complainer in a busy restaurant. Unfortunately, it seems that prices have increased, and the decline in quality and standards is disheartening. We won’t be returning to The Birkhill Inn anytime soon. 😔

Family restaurant with a friendly atmosphere. I'm usually unable to get past the steak pie on the menu, but I've never had a bad experience whatever meal I've chosen. Staff are friendly, approachable and very helpful.

Lovely place for a bit of dinner. Food is amazing and great service. Also very reasonable in price.

Had a great High Tea her..had the famous Steak Pie and cannot fault anything. Meal and service was excellent and highly recommended. Parking at rear and entrance at rear👍 Great..will be back..thank you for a lovely meal *****

Excellent service, excellent price for the food, Steak Pie was one of the best Steak Pies I have ever tried, will be coming back again.

First time being there it was a family thing we were (staying at piperdam for the weekend ) food excellent definitely go back

Banging burger. Coming back this week to try the steak pie.

Man at end of the night was rude to my partner. Noone asked if we wanted cream or ice cream so when dessert came out with ice cream we asking for pouring cream instead. The boy said "you could have asked before we served it". We were there for my MIL birthday meal and it just added a really sad note to the end as it's all we could talk about.

I have always loved the Birkie but it’s just not as good. Menu changed and everything basically £14/15 per meal and a lot less choice. I had the veg Lasagne and it was extremely salty and I really couldn’t eat it. Won’t be back in hurry.

We visited this restaurant whilst staying at the nearby Piperdam after seeing positive reviews. We weren’t disappointed, food and service were excellent. Generous portions and sensibly priced as well. Steak pie was delicious as promised and I was assured by family that Mac &cheese was equally delicious. Will definitely return and feel confident in recommending this restaurant.

What a wonderful evening meal in a fantastically comfortable location. We are travelling round Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 from our home in Canada 🇨🇦 and were recommended to try the famous steak pie. It was amazing. We were wonderfully looked after by Ross and Gemma who could not have made us more comfortable. Thank you guys for giving us a memorable meal and wonderful service.

Great service from all the team. Working away from home popped in for a bite to eat and everyone was very welcoming ! Nice atmosphere in the pub with a fair few tables enjoying their evening and delicious food ! Thanks to the whole team - would highly recommend a visit here, well done guys 😊
