We were here just before Christmas. My friend ordered a burger, when he eventually got served, it was more than charred, it was black on one side, and not much better on the other, he sent it back, I swear to God, I think they turned it over, and sent it back. Never again

Food is good value but difficult to order on poorly designed App/website. Difficult to see/select items and ultimately App hung before payment. Ordered at the bar where staff helpful but seemed a bit fed up. Others complaining about the App. Food came quickly. Helpful and friendly waiting staff. Free refills on coffee welcome.

Staff are lovely and friendly but service can be slow as it's always so busy. Never had a bad meal in this Spoons! Always a favourite of ours when we go shopping in livingston, great prices too.

Our first time in a "Spoons" and we were very impressed. The place is very well run, spotlessly clean and well laid out. Bar staff were friendly and welcoming and took time to explain how they do things there. The unlimited coffee was new to us and very much appreciated. Our generous full breakfast arrived from the servery in good time, and the food quality was top notch. 10 out of 10 Wetherspoons. I can't fault anything, and the price was lower than expected, which is always a bonus. Left very happy and will most certainly be a regular customer from now on. Fantastic place.

It was extremely busy, only tables outside, which we found to be perfect for us as it was so noisy inside. Bar Service was very fast and they were very pleasant. I had chicken tikka . Very nice but the nan was over done so a bit hard. My daughter had a burger which didn't look very nice but she said it was small but tasty.

Had breakfast and was consistent with any other wetherspoons we have been to. They were very busy but it was a nice touch that someone came over to tell us that food would be 30 minutes or so. Expect queues for coffee machine if you go here but we avoided that, other than that we were very happy all round.

Bad Service Attitude This morning, I ordered two toast breakfasts at your establishment, but unfortunately, both toasts were burnt (photos attached). I raised this issue with a waitress—she had dark brown hair tied in a ponytail and was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt. She told me that the toasts are always like this and there was nothing she could do. As a regular customer, I’ve always been satisfied with the service at your shop, but today’s experience was disappointing. I believe when a customer raises an issue, an apology should be the first response, not dismissal.

Had a good breakfast here, serving staff were friendly. Last time we were here was a few years ago, that time we asked for the table to be cleaned, that didn't happen, same happened this time the staff cleared the table, but never wiped it clean. This is the second time we have been here in 5 years and second time our table has not been cleaned. The last time this happened I emailed the head office and received a cheeky email reply from them, so I won't be emailing their customer services again.

Lady manager told she will bring 1 new hash brow but I requested to replace full plate with new breakfast in plate this was refused by duty manager lucky get money refund.

I have just stood at the bar, which was by no means busy, for 10 to 15 minutes. The young girl serving was going as fast as she probably could. She then served 3 customers who had arrived after me. As I left I spoke to the duty manager, explaining my displeasure of their service, who shrugged her shoulders, turned away and made a half hearted apology. This used to be one of the best pubs in Livingston, JD Wetherspoons get this place sorted or you will loose more than my custom.

Busy Saturday lunchtime so staff were doing as well as they could. However the food wasn't great, none of it was particularly hot despite the plates being roasting, the chips could have done with a few minutes longer in the pan and the sausages were average with not much flavour.

I am here often, whenever I have been shopping in Livingston. Many people look down on Spoons, but it does what it says on the tin. It is cheap and d cheerful. Spoons can have poor service sometime, but this is one of the better ones. Service is usually fine, though sometimes app orders are prioritised over the bar, but once fixed, they catch up soon. The service in this Spoons is definitely one of the better ones, and the staff are always polite and friendly. Food is nothing special, but decent enough. The steaks are good value, compared to eateries round the area. The food special, but does the job. Yes, a lot of it is partially pre-prepared, but that is the case in most chain restaurants, and many others too. Here is where this one has let itself down though, and it is a recent event. It was closed for a few days for re flooring. And it reopened there had also been a reorganisation. Now there are too many tables and chairs. They are crammed together, so there is little to no personal space. The waiting staff down well to navigate through the maze of tables and narrow gaps. Sadly, it also means, if you are in a wheelchair or have limited mobility, it will now be a real struggle for you. Before it was not always straightforward, but was manageable, as there were still a few accessible tables. I am not sure this is the case now. If you have a pushchair, especially given their size now, it will also be a real struggle.

Very disappointing 😞..I used to visit and get a lovely big oval plate FULL of decently cooked food but this is my 1st visit in a while for a meal and boy, we're we disappointed. Both meals were well overcooked - fish and chips and the other meal was a southern fried chicken wrap and chips..the chips were overcooked as well as the chicken from the wrap? The fish took the biscuit though, it was cooked within an inch of its life and there was hardly any fish left in the "batter" which was solid. It qas really shocking - there was a couple in front if us who sent theres back and got a whole new meal straight away but due to us having TRIED to eat it, i didnt think they would have done that for us.. We were taken aback and in shock at the state pf it but I wish I'd asked for our money back. They put us in a position and we ended up losing out but, it just means we will never go there again. Which is sad as I used to like it but, not if that's what food they are putting out. I'd actually appreciate if someone got in touch with me from the shop and offered us another meal - esp due 2 To the fact that we spent a fortune, besides the food, on alcohol, as I think we were hoping that would make the food less horrible..
