The Moorings in Highland

Ken and his colleagues are so friendly and helpful. The food is simple but is very good value and very tasty. My kids 3 & 7 were made to feel so welcome and special and the atmosphere was relaxed. Would highly recommend for families.

Overpriced crap food that is deep fried within an inch of its life. The owner and waiters also like to spend their time talking to any young girl that walks in. Put it this way, I wouldn’t let my teenage daughters in there without adult supervision.

Score it for what it is - a cosy, friendly spot, but clearly set up for speedy service to suit all the mini tour buses and boat trip folk, it's not a fancy restaurant. BUT don't let that put you off, great menu, very fast service (although it was nearly full) and our choices were delicious, good quality meals. The staff were friendly and I would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Absolutely dreadful food, very poor quality and ridiculously expensive. A glass of diet coke is £3.25! Food prices grossly inflated given the substandard quality and then the staff have the cheek to try and encourage a gratuity at payment. Give this place a miss, they don't deserve to be in business and an embarrassment that this is offered to the hundreds of tourists who visit Fort Augustus each day.

I would have loved to give this restaurant a better review because the owner is such a lovely, friendly person and the location is very good. However, I had the spaghetti bolognaise and it was not very nice. My husband had a pizza which had a base thicker than the topping. My friend had the BBQ ribs which were grey and tasted like they’d been boiled. Not cheap prices either!

The most DISGUSTING food we have ever ate! We went through the town on our way to Inverness and this restaurant was the only one open on a Tuesday. We reluctantly went in. It’s a dirty mismatch looking place with all the men speaking Turkish and smoking under the canopy. We ordered a pizza $16 and chicken wings $8 for 5 wings. The food came out and the pizza smelled like rotten cheese. It was a frozen pizza with cheese thrown on it. The wings tasted like freezer burn. We complained and they were very rude and told us to bad. We got the check and the waiter said that service is not included so we need to pay $5 more. They have a captive audience because they are the only place open in a very touristy area. AVOID this restaurant! It should be shut down.

Ordered a fish and chips supper very poor chips cold and battered fish was reheated not fresh and cost £11

This was a good place to eat such a variation of food styles. The place was clean and pleasant, the staff are polite and friendly. But the portions are way to much.

Tuesday lunch. Staggered at the prices but thought it would be worth it. Served with zero enthusiasm. Truly a very sad looking lunch. Staff smoking in the under shelter dining area. Stuff doesn't cost this much. Just a tourist trap. Please find better elsewhere.

Average visit nothing exciting that you couldn’t get anywhere else Everything was fried tasted great though Nobody else in when I was there but that no hardship Wouldn’t return again either

Great food. Value for money. Fabulous friendly staff. Highly recommended. We will be back when next up in Fort Augustus.

We dropped in for lunch at "the mooring" (august 30) and sat in the open air. It started to rain, so we moved to an outdoor rain proof table. The turkish owner treated us like family. He took time to have a talk with us. We got top quality americano and cappuccino and had delicious tuna sandwiches (4 sandwiches) with chips and salad. Not to much mayonaise or salt. Toilets were clean. We cannot think of anything to improve. Value for money.

Super fast service, good food, pleasant staff, good burgers and chips, and nicely presented sandwich.

C’est marrant que les avis négatifs ne paraissent pas sinon nous n’y serions pas allés. L’endroit est sale. Nous avons hésité à partir quand nous avons vu l’etat des toilettes et de l’endroit à l’exterieur où nous étions installés. Pour autant la seule que nous n’avons digéré c’est le prix de l’eau 9£les 3 bouteilles de 50 cl. Repas très moyen surgelés sans aucun doute

Pizza buona (e lo dice un italiano), pesce fresco. Personale molto gentile. Lo consiglio per una cena tranquilla in famiglia👍🏻

Great service, and food. The food was hot, coffee was lovely. Wonderful view over the river. Very good value for money. I'd recommend the Moorings to everyone.

Not sure if it was a time of day thing but having read quite a few of the reviews of this place I'm wondering where many of the other diners ate. We liked it so much we went 2 days in a row for late...

Bad attitude from unpolite staff,cold chips that smelt of dirty oil,don't bother, you'll be dissapointed!

We decided to go back into Fort Augustus for an evening meal on the last night of our holiday. Hubby had spotted this Restaurant on our previous visit here so we went in about 6pm to see if we could get a table and were...

Fish'n'chips is basically thick batter and potatoes both fried in old smelly oil. Just awful. Staff is polite but I wish that was enough.

Stayed here in 2016 and not improved. Also had kebabs mentioned in previous review. Barely warm and swimming with sweet chilli sauce out of a bottle and not cheap also poor service

It's not often I leave a bad review but I can safely say this is the worst fish and chips place I have been to in my 34 years. Actually felt embarassed that tourists would come here and think this is what fish and chips...

Awful meal. Doner kebab, chips, barely warm, meat dry, clearly hadn’t been cooked fresh or it would be piping hot. Husband had jacket potato which the knife wouldn’t cut through. Wasn’t even cheap.

Nice fresh haddock with chips, sat outside with a beer. Friendly staff. Will definitely try again as we are staying nearby

Got a carryout for 9 people. Gave us the stuff that they obviously couldn't shift onto anyone else. Absolute trash. Don't folks, just dont

Wonderful fish (hake) and chips delicious coffee and more importantly friendly, caring customer service?

Our food was quick to arrive, very tasty, and the lovely Adam looked after us delightfully! We had the lasagne with salad, and made friends with the visiting ducks. Yes we were outside!

Extremely rude staff would not recommend going here. Essentially got told off by them for asking for more ketchup. Food comparable to what you get at the grocery store.

We had gluten free vegetable soup - I had a gluten free bread roll and Hubby had 'normal' bread. The soup and bread were very tasty as was the coffee ☕️.

Not the place to go! Wanted a light brunch and the menu choice looked reasonable for what we were after, just a sandwich and coffee. The tuna mayo sandwich tasted exactly the same as the egg mayo sandwich both made on the thinniest bread I...

An adequate menu ( mix of Turkish and British)at reasonable prices for this very touristy area. Clean and tidy premises with pleasant staff. Nice location just after the Caledonian canal locks . Good selection of coffees and also licensed for alcohol. Food was tasty and...

Nice location on the Canal, in Fort Augusta with a variety of food options. Service good and pleasant. Turkish salad fresh and plentiful and the hummus was tasty and service with warm pita. Would visit again for a fresh meal.

This is our second trip to this area / first time was march 2020. Yes 2020 This place was the only one to take us in for our lunch n dinners .... we just came back and again we were low on dinner for the...

Avoid at all costs!! Worst kebab of my life! Overpriced and microwaved with a cold pitta bread that prob came from the nearest spar shop! Even the chips were tasteless, salad limp and brown at edges. Don’t waste your time or money people

Restaurant qui propose un large choix, Assiette très généreuse et goûteuse Vous trouverez des plats typiques mais pas que !...

Wir hatten Cheeseburger. Brötchen, Bulette waren Aufback bzw. TK-Ware und schmeckten wirklich nicht gut. Labbrige Pommes gab es dazu. Habe...

Second time we have been here. Staff nice enough. Didn't enjoy fish and chips last time so went for a basic Pizza. I had thought it might be hand made but it was no better than a low end supermarket value pizza. No character and...

Overpriced, badly presented disgusting food. Tourist trap. Avoid at all costs. Was a very disappointing experience.

Delicous foods, smiling face worker, quick serve, goog location. If you don' t enough time to cruise just tell Mr. Kenan Cetiner

First class restaurant 5 stars plus. Staff ever so friendly and helpful. Food excellent freshly cooked Owner real nice guy !!

How this place is still open is beyond me. My nephew fancied a kebab and against my better judgemwnt we ended up here. Only one table occupied and zero atmosphere, Mish mash of strange decor, it has an odd feeling about it. Anyway, lady who...

We had a quick lunch here in October and although the food was good, freshly cooked and portion sizes, especially for the kebab was huge, my gripe is with the pricing. The prices advertised on the menu outside and inside on the tables are ex-VAT....

Mostly the food from this establishment is of a decent standard, especially the takeaway easy food such as Pizza, Kebab and chips etc. What is totally unacceptable, is when you are massively overcharged at the counter and then find out they have put more onto...

Any one writing a review for the Moorings under 4 stars is an idiot,food is superb,serving staff are polite and very friendly,box supplied for left overs,which we ate after drinking beer in British legion on main street,which is highly recommended to

Brilliant food and excellent service couldn’t fault it 5 stars all the way even boxed up leftovers and so friendly staff will come back everytime we here

Terrible! We went to place a takeaway order and the person on the counter could hardly speak English. We were told it would take about 15 minutes, received the food after 45 minutes. We followed up with them during the 45 minutes and they were...

Decided to go and eat at this place despite the negative reviews and glad we did. We both had pizza which was absolutely yummy and piping hot. Noone in the restaurant when we went in, absolutely full by the time we left. Helpful staff and...

Thank you Adem for being so hospitable and kind! You customer service skills are amazing Keep up your great work!

As I sit here at the table in The Moorings I wonder where have I gone so badly wrong in life that I ended up here for dinner? We were the only people eating in the 30 plus cover restaurant, surely a sign so blindingly...

We stumbled across this restaurant by chance when staying in Fort Augustus and liked it so much we ate there both nights of our stay. The food was really nice - I had pizza both nights and hubby had sea bass on one of the...

Husband and I loved the food. Haddock was huge and moist. Lentil soup was the best. Kind staff. When I said I loved the soup, they gave us tips to make ours better- lemon and red pepper flakes. The staff was incredible.

Restaurante com boa localização, junto ao canal do lago Ness, serviço rápido e preços compatíveis com os demais da região....

The restaurant didn't look much from the outside, but this was a stunning meal. I had the Kebab and it was amazing. The only problem was that there was so much I struggles to eat it all. I think my wife told you how much...

Très bonne adresse pour le lunch ! Accueil charmant, places assises bien au chaud. Excellente salade de saumon fumé !...

Went to the moorings with a little intrepidation after reading all the negative reviews but had a fabulous meal. The waiter made a real fuss over the children and the kebabs were fantastic, if too large to finish! Don’t go expecting a posh meal, go...

We decided to eat here after the owner kindly helped us with local information. All the staff are very sweet. The doner kebab meal was absolutely huge and delicious and the meat moussaka moreish. If you are looking for a classic restaurant atmosphere (the kind...

We loved this place. Lovely food, great service. I don't understand the negative reviews. We were here for a family meal, The service could not have been friendlier, and we had great fish and chips.

Je ne comprends pas non plus les critiques. Nous avons été bien accueillis et placés rapidement Les plats sont copieux...

The staff here is fabulous. Warm and welcoming and quick with the service. Good quality seems to depend on what you order. Kebabs were excellent, both chicken and lamb. Other dishes we ordered, less so. For a good kebab meal, this is place to go.

Très bon Fish and chips service rapide et sympathique 60 livres pour 4 avec boissons Restaurant qui ne mérite pas...

We had a great meal in the moorings hotel bistro. The staff were very friendly and attentive, in fact they couldn’t be more helpful. Ordered a linguine and veg curry. Both were excellent dishes. Would have no hesitation but to recommend this place.

We were unsure of this place based on other reviews but I'm so glad we ignored this and went to find out for ourselves. We had takeaway one night and a sit in meal 2 nights later and could not fault them on either occasion!...

Staying in the area and nipped to Fort Augustus and decided to grab some lunch. Quite a busy day with coaches of people visiting and spied The Moorings. Service was pretty quick but waitress forgot our drinks which we had to remind her about and...

Sat down and the waitress dropped a whole glass of coke all over my daughter. She had to sit there soaking wet as the dryer in bathroom didn't work. She asked for beans with her meal but they never arrived. My wife asked for rice...

Fast service, friendly staff. Food was a little overpriced, however their fish catch of day was worth the price. Stayed two days in town and better than most.

Staff very friendly, lovely food, I had the grilled salmon with vegetables, very tasty, others in the Company had a Fish Combo, Shish Kabab and last but not least Gammon Steak with extras, all food was served promptly and with a smile and the banter...

Went here for Lunch.We sat in under the canopy as we had our dog with us. Ordered inside and payed for it. Table service was grand and food was excellent. Will definitely go back before holiday is over.

The food is overpriced. Ordered a sandwich it was the cheapest white bread, cheapest ham and processed cheese. The chips were greasy. Not value for money. I would use the Londis up the road. Takeaway wasn’t fast either. Avoid.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! The food was overpriced, a clear tourist trap. We went in because it seemed nice enough and affordable. Ordered starters, the calamari was hard as a rock and clearly from the frozen aisle. For the mains, they got half our order...

Fish & Chips et tourte au poulet et aux champignons sans goût, semblent tout juste décongelés et servi de manière...

Advertised on menu £4.95. The vendor rounded up to £5. This is what I got! A very small chips with HALF a pot of peas. There are plenty of eateries at Fort Augustus. Go elsewhere.

We were staying overnight in Fort Augustus on a cold April evening. We walked into The Moorings and ordered the Turkish Sausage, salad, homemade Hummus and other bits and bobs. Not only were the staff really sweet but the food was delicious. So we went...

Kebab bon je recommande, le restaurant à du changer au vu des commentaires précédents Prix abordable et salle propre..

We were in Fort Augustus for a few hours and saw The Moorings... It looked clean and we were hungry. As it was a beautiful day so we had a takeaway. The service was slow and chaotic but the staff were polite and friendly. I...

Literally the worst meal I’ve ever eaten !! It’s like they’ve gone out of there way to make the food as bad as they can. They must just make a do on unsuspecting tourists as I feel they would be no returning customers.

This place takes advantage of the fact that tourist in the area will not be returning and serves poor quality food at high quality prices. Me and my friend both agreed it was the worst food we had ever had and we have ate at...

Food was tasteless and to expensive for the quality, don’t think the hygiene is to good there also, because my stomach was not happy at all. All 4 of us were pretty disappointed. Look out for the neck sincerely Robin Scømer Turist trap

Pelos en la comida, patatas sin sabor, lasagna malísima y pizza cruda. Encima solo se podia pagar en cash. Que...

We received enthusiastic service but the menu is all over the place at this canal side spot clearly geared towards the tourist crowd. Scottish, Turkish and Italian dishes are on offer. Portions are large, nothing was bad but average is a good descriptor. Calamari’s and...

We ate here during our stay in Fort Augustus. There is a wide menu choice and though it looks a bit like a cafe rather than a restaurant the food was very good. I had a pizza and it was one of the best I...

We stopped here for a light lunch. The menu was vast withvarious fried fast food options. We opted to have the veg pizza which was covered in jalapenos (more jalapenos than anything else). Unfortunately, the food was just okay and nothing special and it left...

On a busy evening I would avoid. Took us over 20 minutes to be asked for our drinks order, which we gave along with our food order. Then a further 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive. Then close to an hour after our food...

Came here twice for dinner. First time was really good, friendly efficient staff, good service, food very good Second visit was terrible, it was very busy but that is no excuse. The staff were still friendly but the food was not good. Our starters took...

We managed to get a table by the window service was slow for drinks and I had to keep shouting for more drinks. Food was ok I had Shish not mouthwatering but was edible. The Restaurant itself could do with a revamp to match the...

Thank you. We found this place next to the loch on off chance. Saw people eating outside decided to give it a go. The best meal we have had in Scotland! Although huge portions, they are attentive food is great and hot. Thank you for...

While staying in Fort Augustus my wife and I decided to try the Moorings because it had been recommended at the B&B where we were staying. The food was great and Adam, the manager there, offered the best customer service in town. It was that...

Got a takeaway from here whilst staying in Fort Augustus and it did not disappoint. Everything was sooo tasty and they do the best garlic Mayo we have everrr! Staff also very friendly would highly recommend!

Had tea here during our stay in Fort Augustus. We had great day in Skye and after the drive back fancied a kebab. We were not disappointed! We ordered a chicken kebab and a mixed kebab... so much meat but very tasty. Prices reasonable and...

We went in this place a couple of time on our recent week away. Food is lovely in here and the pizzas are amazing. Staff are friendly and the prices are decent.

Was pleasantly surprised by a take - away from The Moorings. The staff were friendly and the food was tasty. Very large portions, would certainly order food from there again.

One of the most bizarre places I’ve been in, greasy spoon type looking place, dirty and in need of a revamp. Sat in an outer covered area that had been modelled on a gypsy camp with old broken sofas and tables. Used the loo which...

We walked in at lunch time, found the only empty table which was immediately wiped and cleared for us. Ordered food and drinks, admittedly the drinks took a while to come but it was busy so to be expected. There was one person working on...

Alex made our evening full of fun, great character. Generous portions served, well cooked and nicely presented. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Instead of usual mundane generic burgers and chips, you can have authentic Turkish food. Hand made pitta, beautiful shish , fantastic coffee. All tastes catered for. Kids demolished steak pie, the Mac and cheese looked good. Great find.

I’m used to eating in high class restaurants, so do not believe the reviews about this place. We went in with an expectation that it would be a cheap and cheerful restaurant and that’s exactly what we got. We had a Prosecco, a Peroni, chicken...

We dined here after the Loch Ness excursion. We ordered the mixed kebab for 2 from the specials board. It was average. On paying the bill we found it was £22 per person!!! For a kebab. Don't go here . Don't be conned.

It’s a bit out of the way but I liked it. The chicken kebab was fantastic and the service was friendly. Also there was a team of ducks on the scrounge, which was fun!

Just had a lovely experience at this restaurant. Food was fantastic and huge portions. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to persons visiting the area.
