Stopped for tea and cakes, place was busy but staff not really helpful and a bit dour. They had some function going on in the back, which they seemed more interested in we were just happy to eat and leave and not hang about.

The restaurant is nicely decorated and very clean. The staff are very nice and friendly. We have been before when we stayed in Callander. Can recommend the Fish & Chips, Steak Pie, The OD Burger and the Lasagne.. to be honest, everything looks great and reasonably priced. Highly recommended..10/10 all day... thanks all concerned in the Old Bank...

My bloke and I called here for a takeaway coffee on our way home to Livingston after a long drive. We'd tried another café (our usual go-to) but they were closed. Not only were the 2 lady staff in the Old Bank pleasant and friendly, especially as we'd arrived just before 5pm and they were about to close, but we were given 2 cups of great quality latte and not charged at all!! THIS will be our go-to from now on 💖

The Old Bank was pleasant, bright, and served a range of delicious meals. I gave it 4 because we had ordered chips and they didn’t arrive (yet they never charged us in the end) and there was no cress on my egg and cress sandwich, however these were very minor problems and didn’t affect our overall experience :) xxx

1hr and 10mins and we still have not got our food, but tables arriving after us have got there’s!! We ordered and our hot drinks never arrived asked for them after 30mins! When we questioned where our food was we were told we were informed of the wait- actually we were not but we did hear the table next to us being is when they arrived 20mins after us and got there food before us!! The service is diabolical I wouldn’t recommend!

Popped in here for dinner, on the way back to Glasgow from a day out at The Trossachs. Had a very big & filling meal. Portion size is excellent. Staff pleasant. Restaurant was surprisingly quiet for a Sunday at late afternoon, when it was such a good day. Burgers were proper butcher meat. I had the ale and steak pie, came with chips and loads of vegetables. Would recommend. Thankyou

Poor professionalism by the manager/owner. Lovely staff though. My elderly parents have medical issues due to which they have to consume some home made food, we usually take permission from the restaurant before we eat, we did the same here and the waitress allowed us. My parents were in middle of lunch and suddenly a lady - most probably the owner or manager rudely informed not to eat outside food. We informed her that your staff allowed us but it went on deaf rude ears. Make a policy and stick it out. Waitresses are polite and quick. Food was ok too!

Excellent service et bon burger végétarien. Le old bank n’est pas un restaurant gastronomique, mais plutôt un style familial. Nous avons manger le burger au bœuf et le burger végétarien aux pois chiche. Les deux burgers étaient savoureux. Les frites croustillantes, mais je n’ai pas aimé la salade de choux, car elle était inondée de mayonnaise.

The restaurant is very simple, and despite expecting an equally simple dish, I received very tasty food. Service is a little slow, with a long wait to be served. Depending on the day, it may be impossible to get a table without a reservation.

Saw a fish platter on the menu board outside and thought it sounded good. Booked a table and came back from a long bike ride to eat. It was better than good, it was great! Freshly cooked, piping hot (bits which needed to be 😂) and absolutely delicious. Compliments to the chef. If we lived nearby we’d be regulars.

Puffing at customer just because it was a group of 9 (6 adults+3 kids) just highlights a significant lack of professionalism. You may have the better food in this world but your service attitude was simply shocking. Of note, at the time most of the tables were empty, so no issues to accommodate the group. If I could score zero I would without looking back.

The staff are horribly rude and arrogant. When we went to order at the bar, they told us we should wait for table service, which was slow to begin with. Without asking me, she got me a large glass of wine. She should have mentioned 2 size of servings - large and medium. When it was time to pay, she signalled to me with her finger and said 'come here' to come to the counter to pay. No breakdown of the bill was also provided. It was humiliating to be the receiving end of this unacceptable behaviour. Since we were 2 brown girls, it does come across as the staff being their racist best.

They have a good selection of gluten free options, and cater for coeliac disease (including breakfast rolls and fish and chips). It was quite a cold day when we visited, and the room struggled to warm up a bit, but we noticed they filled tables by the fire and radiators first, to keep people cosy enough.

Made clear wanted me to leave n not serve me. Vacuumed around me-I'd come in n spent £26 as open til 6pm when bus due. Poor unfriendly service-would not recommend.

Peter and I had coffee and cream scones here. It was quite acceptable apart from the strawberry jam which was edible but unpleasant. Whoever had made it had been distracted while adding the setting agent and we were served a translucent, seedless, insipid, gelatinous red goo. Service was good - in fact three waitresses tried to take our order in the first five minutes which says a lot for staff morale and enthusiasm or, more likely, the ladies were hoping to impress Peter who is a finely chiselled Adonis and an infamous babe magnet. Coffee was good and the ambiance was excellent if you’re a pensioner with a hearing aid. 3 out of 5 from the Scone Rangers.

Went in with our two dogs, there is a separate section if ypu wnat to take your dogs in. The lady (sorry, forgot to take her name but she has six dogs) who came to get our order was amazing. Friendly, professional service that put a smile on our face and us at ease straight away. We ordered the open steak sandwich and it was delicious. Plenty of steak on soft bread with crusty sides and horseradish sauce, topped with the best red onion chutney. No stinginess in portion size and everything was fresh. Value for money as well. Went into the main restaurant to pay and even though it was really busy I was greeted with a smile. Will definitely go back.

5 stars for the grilled open-face toastie with grilled halloumi, avocado and bell peppers. I was surprised by the generous portion, and also this was really tasty. The coffee portions are similarly generous - was surprised by how large my coffee cup was. But I think food is their stronger point, coffee not so much. Service is good, but come if you are not in a rush.

We were staying at Ripple Retreat and were kindly given vouchers by The Old Bank Inn. Their kindness and generosity was truly heartwarming. We went to get takeaway and the owner wanted to make sure we spent every last penny of the voucher, offering for us to come back for coffee the next day because we didn't quite use it all. She couldn't have been more welcoming. We enjoyed the food so much that we both said we can't wait til we're back in Callander to return!

Ordered fish and chips. Quite disappointing. The quality was low and the batter unusual to say the least, mushy peas were garden with added mint. Not something i would have expected with fish and chips. On the upside staff were pleasant. First and last visit I'm afraid. Question. Having read some of the reviews i am now wondering if we were served gluten free?

Stopped for lunch, we're not able to get afternoon tea due to large booking before us which was unfortunate, we were able to take dogs in and they accommodated our wheelchair. Less stars due to speaker being glitchy skipping the music which was very irritating and staff being busy at the other side made our service a bit slower.

We called in for lunch whilst in Calander. We had soup which was delicious. The service was prompt. The only thing which lets this location down is the decoration, which is very bland someone must have gotten a good deal with magnolia paint.

Not open during published open hours. We tried to call in for a drink at 1 pm as a halfway stop on our hike on 10.10.24. The lights were on, the radio blaring and a dog barking, but no one answered. There was no closed sign, and their website said it was open, so we rang both website numbers to see if it was due to open soon - no answer. It seems it's not a place to pop in for anything without notice!

Two nights staying in the hotel this restaurant is attached to, so two nights eating here! Firstly on the way we tried to phone to ensure we got a table, the phone rang and rang but was unanswered, tried for over an hour. Mentioned it when got here “we were too busy”. First nights meal was ok but noted the menu was “tricky” bit precocious if anything and I actually said to person with me that I hoped it would be different menu next night. No it wasn’t so then I opted for the trusty steak with £11.95 surcharge!! If there is going to be a surcharge of that magnitude the dish needs to be good, it wasn’t in fact it was atrocious, tough, badly cooked and presented pathetically. The wait for some mustard just added to the frustration. Unfortunately I like staying at this hotel so no doubt will have to eat here again…..although I’d rather not, Hilton it’s time for a change please
