The Commodore in Argyll & Bute

Family friendly. Really peaceful

Lovely and relaxing place to eat should imagine it has a lovely view on a sunny day :-) julien was a very good server thank you!

Juliem was great and friendly! The food was fresh and the service was great

Always love coming for a Sunday roast! Beef was lovely today. Thank you!

It was very busy so everything took longer waited 40 for our meal which is really a long time when you are hungry. Vegetables were lovely and soft which really makes a change usually can’t eat them as to undercooked and the turkey was tasty but lukewarm . What can I say about the dessert it was delicious lemon tart never lets me down.

We booked a table online and with the offer of the 10 quid off if you spend 40 quid quite appealing. What is in the small print is that it takes 6 hours to activate. Fair enough. The place is in need of a massive facelift, it seems to be stuck in the early 90s and reminds me of a Butlins. The decor is very dated and could be spruced up, outside the tables look past their best and slabs could do with modernising. The staff seemed stressed and probably needed more on, the guy we had was a bit over familiar. When I showed him my QR code he took my phone away to scan it which threw me off, I'd never take someone's phone. It was a bit weird. In fact all the staff seemed a bit weird, as if they all hated each other but in a passive aggressive way. Maybe they need a wee staff building sound bath together or something? The food took an age to arrive and it wasn't a complex dish, it was a starter Mac n cheese chips and onion rings as a main, and fish and chips. Probably waiting around 40 minutes. The Mac was sickeningly overwhelming, chips greasy and onion rings mostly batter. The fish and chips were okay although I had trouble finding the fish through the over cooked batter. The giant chips were supposed to be triple fried but I think they were reheats. I had to ask for the bill twice and they didn't return so we paid at the bar. The best part of the meal was that they had bottled fentmans ginger beer. First time here and I'm relatively local but definitely the last. My wife wanted to go to la barca, and I've learned she's always right! So thanks for helping my marriage last longer.

We popped in on a very busy Saturday. My husbands fish finger sandwich he said was lovely. I had the chicken salad. My chicken was a little dry and could maybe have done woth more dressing but decent. Marc our server was lovely and attentive. Couldn't do enough for us. 10/10

This is one of our favourite places to eat. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. It’s a lovely relaxing place to have a drink and some dinner. Julien is a fantastic server. Super friendly and attentive.

Excellent service by Julien, food really enjoyable and great atmosphere.

Almost always guaranteed a table. Service is always friendly and the food is always good.

Lovely afternoon celebrating 3 birthdays. Eric was great, very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble

Always great, food was lovely and service was brilliant. Eric looked after us perfectly and nothing was to big an ask

Lovely meal from start to finish was serviced by Gary food was lovely,glasses were never empty and he was always on hand and the banter was great. Would definitely come back again! Thanks for looking after us Gary ❤️

Great atmosphere and excellent service. Food was good. Serene our server was excellent.

Great service by Kieran. Really enjoyabke after a long day travel

Juliem was a great server and took care of our family! Great stuff! Thankyou

Best server was Julien he made tonight the best! Thank you amazing food!

Great food amazing service staff are friendly and helpful for all you needs nice relaxing atmosphere.

Do not go for lunch no option in soup, lasagna came in a bowl which looked like soup, the macaroni had more non melted cheese than pasta. Will come back to see how night time meals fair but lunch time food was abysmal.

Great service, amazing food and good atmosphere. Would recommend!

Excellent food at the bar, friendly and welcoming staff, really good value for money only down side we stayed in the hotel on the Saturday night and bar closed at 2230hrs

A welcoming pub with lovely staff we were served by Serena. The food was well cooked. We had the katsu curry and lasagne it was delicious

We had Sunday Roast around 15.30. Found it was cold when arrived and like it had been sat from lunchtime for a while. Considering the price I don’t see why you should pay for a meal at another time of day only to get 2nd best. The standard should be the same all through the day if open all day. We were offered it to be reheated but didn’t fancy a microwaved roast. No discounts were offered as compensation. Def would recommend the Balloch House Vintage Inn - way above standards and better food for same cost. Disappointing and run down venue needing refurbishment. House Merlot Red wine was very nice.

Just had a Sunday Roast at The Commodore in Helensburgh and it was superb. The atmosphere and service were second to none I will certainly be back. My waiter was Julien and he was friendly, polite and professional and I was looked after extremely well

Shame there’s not 4.5star option. Had a few meals in here last week. 6 out of 7 were great but the last one was not amazing however the staff sorted the issues out promptly, pricing is average and staff are mostly attentive and helpful,

Excellent afternoon of great food, starters and mains while staying in the adjoining hotel. Would highly recommend to any family or friends. The person looking after us so well was Marc, and despite the service being super busy due to good weather he looked after us really well. Again being busy the food came out super quick and hot and was delicious. Thanks All.

Stopped by The Commodore one Sunday with the family and went for the lamb rump, £19.75, which came with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, carrots, parsnips, greens, and gravy. Also shared a cauliflower cheese, £3.75. Unfortunately, it missed the mark. The lamb was tough and fatty, and they didn’t ask how I wanted it cooked. The gravy was nice, and the veg was fine but nothing special. The cauliflower cheese was the best part - creamy, cheesy and well-seasoned—definitely helped lift the meal. The overall service was poor, which added to the disappointment. When we made them aware of one of the dishes being cold, they took it away and microwaved it.

Hi! Enjoyable evening. Our server Katie was awesome! Helpful, friendly and great service. Tbh food was good, just not Amazing, that's OK! It's a pub. The fish was fresh! The triple cooked chips were not triple cooked, just average. But great night we had and it was busy.

Great food, service and atmosphere!

Nice wee place with good service and a beer garden with a smashing view

Fit us in last minute and the food was lovely! Great service too

Had an amazing experience at The Commodore in Helensburgh! Tried the Signature Burger, and it was absolutely delicious—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was great, and the service was even better. Huge shoutout to Eric, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely great at what he does. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area!

We’ve been coming to the commodore for years and always enjoy the cosy atmosphere and the yummy food. We especially love the lasagne! Marc is especially helpful and friendly.

Had a wonderful meal in here with my family. Julian’s service was amazing and took great care of us!

Booked an early evening meal. The four of us have eaten here previously so decided to return. Because I'm using crutches I requested a table out of the way from the main walkway. Marc served us and looked after us very well. The menu had plenty options and we all chose something different. No complaints at all. We will be back. Thank you.

A regular venue for us. Tasty food. As always, great service by Marc.

Lovely specials and very friendly staff. The food is always good. Our waitress Katie was brilliant and very helpful.

Experienced a wonderful anniversary meal here tonight! Serena took such great care of us. Nothing was an inconvenience to her, and she made our evening very special. We love to come to the Commodore Inn. All the staff are great, and we’ve never had a bad experience here. Thanks to Robert and the team!

Charming older building with professional staff. The food was lovely, too. Pie and mash top scran.

Food was delicious. We were served by Katie and she is super bubbly and lovely happy to have a chat with us. This is our regular go to pub and all staff are super friendly and chatty. Haven't had a bad experience yet! Katie is our favourite though 😉

Another great meal here at the commodore! Served by Serena who provided us with amazing service, attentive and had great recommendations, overall another great experience and meal out here!

Good food and good service from Julien

Our favourite place in Helensburgh. A regular for our family. We love the staff and atmosphere. Julien was very friendly and attentive. Food was good but little improvements needed to get 5 stars.

Excellent venue, food and service very good. Serena our waitress was very helpful in our choice of food and wine. We will certainly be back and have taken out a vintage card as a result.

Server Marc was lovely and attentive, speedy service and food was lovely

As a regular visitor, the food is generally very good. On some occasions the chips and fries can be dissapointing. It's not their flavour, just that they can be on the cool side, not piping hot! On the other hand fish dishes, steaks etc are always fresh and hot. This appears to suggest the chips and fries are sitting for a while prior to serving. Thanks to Serena for her pleasant and friendly manner.

Lovely helpfull and friendly staff Julian served us today and he was delightful. Excellent service all round.

Great food amazing service and lovely atmosphere

Julien was amazing great service and very polite
