The Real Food Cafe in Stirling

Can't believe this is in Burnley! The menu choice and the food quality 😘. I used this venue for business meetings

Amazing little place. Staff were lovely, courteous, helpful. My fruit scone was fresh & delicious.

The cafe was absolutely packed, but despite this, the queues moved quickly due to the efficient and friendly service and the food was brought out to our table quickly. The food was delicious and the servings generous. A fabulous place to stop for a scrumptious meal!

Very busy, not very pleasant and not very tasty food.

Fish and chips + burger were both great. Perfect place to stop for a quick lunch on the go. Place seems popular with the local police which is always a positive sign 😂

Amazing little spot with amazing food! We have come here a few times and every time, it is lovely. Update: This is still a lovely little area, however, it seems like the service has deteriorated. It was very busy when I arrived, which is completely understandable, but after waiting in line to order for 25mins, I was told that I was too late to order breakfast. This was very disappointing as we arrived in time, waited for almost 40 minutes altogether and wasn't able to order what we came in for.

We stopped here on our way to Fort William from Glasgow for lunch. It’s right next to the road and quite big with a lot of place to sit inside and outside. The food was good for the price, but nothing spectacular. Portion sizes are good as well.

Literally the best fish and chips in the world. WOW

It’s a good option if you’re in a roadtrip, food is fine, good quality but not incredible taste. It’s also a clean a good place to rest a little

Great place to stop off for quality food. Not the cheapest, but quality does come at a cost. Great staff, just about enough parking, great food - ☆☆☆☆☆

Really nice gluten-free fish and chips, and nice selection of soft drinks and beer.

Tried the baked goods and they were delicious.

Very welcoming vibe We had the breakfast which was on point They really have put a good effort in operating this place

We ate fish and chips and scottish breakfast. Both were very good!

Very cute cafe! The hot chocolate was good, and if you get it then eat in and get the marshmallows and whipped cream with it. They’re very generous and it makes one feel like a kid again.

Some more great food on way home. Great place to stop in Tyndrum. Always busy, great service, great staff and freshly cooked food. Pet friendly. We had fish & chips, burger & chips and dirty fries (chips, haggis, peppercorn sauce, cheese and crispy onions)

Very tasty scones and soooo great breakfast! I had the vegetarian haggis and loved it.

More great food. Great place to stop on the way home. Always busy, always a great atmosphere and staff super helpful. Pet friendly We had fish & chips, burger and chips and dirty fries (chips, haggis, peppercorn sauce, cheese and crispy onions)

Really lovely spot! Amazing vibes and super dog friendly. I just quickly stopped to get some food and go but I should have planned this as a stop. The people were great too and they really made it an inviting place. You can clearly see that lots of hikers would use this place as a break. Also, the chips were amazing! Proper chippy chips. And I *LOVE* that you have unlimited sauce on tap. Mayo, ketchup and (I think) BBQ? My only gripe is that the veggie burger seems like an afterthought. The bun itself is lovely but the Pattie is just a supermarket Pattie with veggies inside it. I would certainly go here for all other meals though. It's a great place to be!

It's OK, especially if you're on the way since it's next to a main road. I must say we did not try the fish options, which apparently are their speciality. However, the vegetarian soup was very salty, and the bread crust was quite burnt. It was very busy.

Great fish & chips. Fast service

Best fish and chips supper. The portions are large enough to fill hungry travellers tummies. The staff, especially the cashier, are friendly and helpful.

What a welcome welcome! Staff are lovely, all the good is super fresh, the place is clean and well done - a little more than a cafe!

Delicious food, the macaroni and cheese was excellent and so were the chips!

The food was okay, but it was expensive for what it was. The chips weren't nice enough to finish. Would do in a pinch, but for the price of a takeaway, I would have been cheaper tp have a sit in pub meal elsewhere.

The cafe was very busy. We were queuing out the door. We were told you order your food at the counter, and it's cooked fresh. The food was nice but the portion size we felt was small for the price. Also we would prefer a china plate and not cardboard which the food was served on.

Definitely the best place for food in tyndrum. Worth the wait.

Although most fish and chip shops say that they are either, "Award winning!", or "Famous Fish and Chips!", The fish and chips here *are* famous. The breaded haddock is very crunchy. It is the BEST!!!!! The chips are as crispy as are soft! They are the best filler for a long journey!

Another great visit here on way home from Isle of Skye. This time we tried the Tofish and Chips, and Vegan Haggis and Chips. Such inventive delicious dishes for us vegetarians! Finished off with a MASSIVE salted caramel chocolate brownie. Love this place whenever we pass through! And plenty of room to sit outside with the dog.

I was served by Brian, who demonstrated a high level of professionalism throughout my visit. Although he appeared to be unwell—taking two Panadol while I was waiting for my coffee—he continued to serve guests with dedication and courtesy. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was unique, clean, and well-maintained. I highly recommend this place.

Best (glutenfree) fried haddoch and chips i ever had. Had to be sure so went twice

Food was amazing curry sauce was to die for! Will be back!

Don't go there. It took 20 minutes till we came round to even order and pay, then it took another 20 Minutes for the breakfast to arrive. I was polite, respectful and friendly, they were not. The kitchen is loud. Never going back.

Always very busy so sometimes can mean a wait for a table and food order but food arrived quickly. We stopped for breakfast this time and had some excellent venison sausage and black pudding. Staff friendly and good service.

The vegan chocolate cake was delicious

It's now the Ben Luie and the staff were fantastic, breakfast was excellent, tasty and very good value for Money.

Really enjoyable fish and chips and super fast very friendly staff. Would recommend.

Had the vegetarian soup of the day as I wasn't feeling so well. It was hearty and chock full of wonderful veggies, the bread it came with was soft yet crusty. It helped me get whole again. Wife had the famous fish and chips. It was lightly battered, crispy, and flaky with sweet haddock. The mushy peas it came with was also excellent with a hint of mint that did wonders for my feeling of sickliness. Wonderful atmosphere in here with great service. Will visit again if in the area.

The breakfast was good. It is a busy cafe

OMG stopped for a break in our drive and opted for some loaded chips … these are a must!!! There is also a veggie option. Cleaned our plates! Will be back the next time we are up this way.

A lovely 😍 friendly and beautiful cafe, the bacon 🥓 and egg 🥚 and mushrooms 🍄 rolls were fantastic 😋 with the adding of brown sauce and pepper 👍staff were lovely and welcoming 🙏 10/10

Very busy when we arrived but we were quickly seated. The food arrived promptly and was delicious.

At last, we finally managed to visit for a drink and a bite to eat. Extremely friendly staff, delicious food with an impressive display for customers who are gluten free. Did not disappoint.

Good food but can be busy so food takes a while.

Great food!! Stopped in today on our motorbike trip for much needed breakfast role, coffee and warmth and ticks all the boxes! Lovely vibe, fire on to warm us after a cool start on the bike and great coffee! Set us up for the day! Dog friendly which is a bonus.... Although can't get the dog on the bike... Will bring her next time!! 👌

Had excellent coffee and a brilliant vegan Scottish breakfast! Staff was very friendly and their man can make a good strong coffee!! Also, we loved the banana bread!

For a change I managed to drag myself away from the fish & chips and instead tried the cheeseburger. It was amazing, proper tasty beef cooked perfectly and served in a fresh roll with real cheese (no plastic pretend cheese slices allowed here). Just the right amount of relish, tomato etc and a nice sized portion of chips. And excellent friendly service as always, thank you.

Stopped here after a walk, best decision I made! Upon entering I was warmly welcomed. The staff are professional and efficiently produce superior food. My fish and chips were amazing. The batter was thin crisp and delightful. The fish was beautifully fresh and plenty of it. The lemon on the side, fresh! The service impeccable! The cheeseburger was juicy and handmade to perfection. I enjoyed my meal and it put a smile on my face. Thank you very much 😊

I ordered a crispy bacon roll and coffee at the till and found out I'd lost my wallet! Had some cash so could pay ok, but my wallet??? 2min later my phone rang . Wallet had been found by a member of their staff in the car park outside. Another minute and it was returned to me! With over £100 cash in it I was so grateful for their honesty and the staff's efforts to contact me so quickly, saved my day! And the bacon roll was the best I've had in a long time , so support the Real Food Cafe please, great guys all round and great food.

This is my 3rd time in here, I've had a couple of breakfasts before, which were really good, this time I ordered a large fish & chips, the portion was massive, lovely meaty haddock & really fresh, chips were nice too, this is a great place, recommended 😀

Great place for food that really thinks about their customers down to help yourself water near the door . Portions are great too

Always love planning a trip here - it is always a highlight after a day of walking. The fish and chips is amazing and the staff are lovely. Would definitely recommend!

We drove up to The Real Food Cafe on Saturday. The weather and the scenery were beautiful. When we arrived, it was very busy, but we got a table quite quickly. I ordered the fish chowder, side of chips and a seaweed soda bread, my friends had fish and chios with homemade coleslaw and a burger and chips. My fish chowder had lovely big chunks of fish and included prawns and sweetcorn. The food was so delicious and fresh. There are great views, no matter what window you looked out of. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The queue to sit in and to take away was just never ending, proof that the food here is delicious, good quality and worth the beautiful drive.

The vibe was super cozy, and the coffee was amazing.

Extraordinarily efficient service on a very busy Saturday evening, and excellent food - the fish chowder as well as the fish and chips. Very impressive!

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and friendly staff.... A definite repeat customer

I eat here everytime I go hiking around Tyndrum. I recommend the large haddock and chips! It's the best on the menu. The lady on the till was friendly and chatty. I appreciate how consistent the service is, the team do a fantastic job from front of house to the kitchen. Recently, hiking through the Cononish Valley and beating Ben Lui makes the scran here even better.

the food was just incredible! the staff was friendly and just generally happy people. would def recommend. i went first thing in the morning and the cheese and chive scones were piping hot fresh.

We stopped for lunch after a previous good visit last year. Yet another dog friendly restaurant, take note non dog friendly venues you are losing business. My wife had the chick pea curry with chips which she loved. I went for traditional haddock, chips and mushy peas. Both meals were served quickly and were delicious. Staff were attentive and friendly. There is outside seating and good car park.

Great place to stop en route to the Scottish islands. Very high quality fresh fish - they even tell you where the fish came from. Gluten free batter on request and a large selection of gluten free cakes. Great value as the snack size fish is enough for most normal appetites.

Stopped here for a spot of breakfast on our travels and found the place to be fantastic. the staff were super friendly and helpful The food was fantastic I would highly recommend it for a bite to eat 👍🏻

It was a great place to stop for a bite to eat. Delicious choice of cakes and scones to go with tea or coffee. Fish and chips and hot morning rolls are also available. A busy morning when we arrived, but friendly service from the staff.

Really pleasant staff and great food.

Excellent fish and chips, including gluten free.

Stumbled upon this gem on way back from the Highlands. We loved breakfast and the friendly staff. We shall be back!

Stopped in twice, once heading to Kerrera then on way back. Great eats and drink both times but the best is the atmosphere which is happy because of the folks working here. They are happy, engaged, helpful, and fun. The barista called the coffee he made me a Canadiano, at my suggestion! They feed the birds out back too, oh -- and twin their toilets. A worthy initiative. Great stuff all round.

What a great find travelling back on from Scotland. The service was friendly and fantastic. The place was spotless and a relaxing vibe . Now the food 😋 probably the best fish n chips ive had . Fresh tasting and piping hot. Plus the mushy peas 👌 I'd love to know what was in them . Not your normal run of the mill mushy peas you get from a chippy. If it wasn't a 4 hour drive I'd be there every week.

Consistently brilliant. The best gluten free fish and chips you’ll ever have. As well as very popular for ordinary fish and chips. Great staff; very efficient. And extremely community and environment orientated. Posters for helping Scottish communities, improving our environmental impact, and information on what trawler caught your fish and what oil they are using for frying, is plastered across the walls and on chalk boards. The most well informed, professionally run fish and chip shop you’ll ever be in! Delicious.

Wonderful fresh food and delicious cakes. Best cinnamon buns anywhere. Lovely staff . Can be a bit frantic at busy times.

Good food, reasonable price and good selection.

Fabulous service, gorgeous food and coffee!

Excellent service, delicious coffee, cheese scone, and croissant.

Fantastic place to stop, excellent customer service, great food and pet friendly, top marks

Great food,with gluten-free options

Very popular stop for lunch. Service was fast and friendly, fish and chips were very good.

Nice spot to stop for a coffee Nice chips

My wife and I opted for the breaded haddock and chips. Strange breading coating, more like batter with no raiding agent and breadcrumbs. Overcooked resulting in dry fish Inside. Probably because of the lack of customers, the staff were over attentive, even asking if they could remove our plates whilst my wife was still eating and there was still food on the plate. The member of staff manning the orders till, bruskly sent me back to my table to find the number, not that there any instructions as to how to order. We have been visiting the real food cafe since it started and this was a disappointing visit.

We visit this venue every time we pass for an excellent breakfast or later meal. On this occasion it was just for Tea and a Cake to break up a mid afternoon journey home. It was as good as ever with a great selection of cakes and scones. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. Well worth a visit if you are passing. Carpark is good.

Thos is one of those little finds on the road to Oben or Fort William & the Highlands. That just knocks your socks off. It is brilliant!!!! Firstly there is good parking, with car charging facilities. It is not a huge car park but it also has a fast food collection point and generally, you can get a space. There are two indoor dining areas. A very nice seating area with a roaring fire and comfortable chairs. Along with a quicker bar stool area. They are happy to serve you a quick tea. Coffee and cake right up to full-on fish suppers. Which is also fantastic. The menu is varied and it's very well presented. Staff are friendly and welcoming, as soon as you walk in the door you are met with a friendly smile and are seated a menu presented and away you go. In the area go and enjoy.

Friendly staff. Pretty good cheeseburger and a great fish finger sandwich. Dog friendly.

Always a safe bet for something to eat. Good quality food and posters tell you just where the food came from.

Great place to have breakfast very doggy friendly

Only stayed for coffee and cake but this place shows how a business should be run.

Really great Food and reasonable price. I highly recommend that Cafe

Would've given 5 stars but the full breakfast didn't include haggis and wasn't served with toast! Everything on the plate was clearly good quality and cooked well and was really tasty so only a little point, but it made a difference between good and great 👍

Great place, great service, great atmosphere, very good food

I stopped in for breakfast one rainy February morning. This place deserves all its positive reviews. Cosy and warm, the wood burner was lit and my dog was made to feel as welcome as me. The staff were so nice, I felt like an old friend. We had the delicious full Scottish breakfast prepared by Angel (thank you), and also a special doggie breakfast of sausage. Highly recommend.

Lovely warm spot to stop on a rainy day. Got the fish chowder and onion rings which was delicious and more than enough food. Servers were all very friendly and helpful, would love to stop in again sometime.

Lovely fish and chips. One the best I've had

Fantastic food high recommended 👌

What a lifesaver. Even in February it was open for a delicious burger & chips in the evening and then a lovely breakfast the next morning with a nice view and a real fire! Staff are really friendly and the food is good quality.

Very nice café where we ate well. The warmth of the fireplace brings a soft and cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend.

Food was ok, but considering the price and the fact it was served on paper plates reflects in the honest 3 star review. Also don’t understand the point in waiting to be seated at the door when it’s basically a canteen and you go up and queue the same as a cross the road at the green welly? Since there isn’t many other places nearby choice is limited which must be why this place is so busy.

Nice fish and chips. It's quite a crowded place. Maybe because it's convenient when you drive from Fort William to Glasgow. By the road side.

Absolute gem! Delicious gluten free haddock, chips and mushy peas. Great place to eat, lovely surroundings, pleasant staff, always busy which is a really good sign. Don’t drive by, stop off for a real treat. I was lucky the twice I came they also had gluten free Bakewell tart. 👌🏻.

Stopped in here while hiking the West Highland Way. Class full Scottish breakfast. Nice place, all staff were helpful and happy to be there. Seemed to be looked after by Diego while we got the caffeine in. Sick guy 👌

Busy wee chippy. Quick service yummy food

Best fried egg I have tasted in years

Every now and again you find a random gem. Whilst travelling back from Scotland to Yorkshire we stumbled upon this cafe on the long winding road at the side of Loch Ness. Needing a quick food stop we bought a fish with mussy peas to share. The food was beautiful! Unfortunately it's a bit far to travel for regular purchase but if we ever are back in the area I would definitely call again. Thank you for amazing food for 2 weary yorkshire travellers!
