The Riverside Inn in Stirling

Very quiet and a bit cold. Turn up the heating .

We have past The Riverside Inn for many years and never been in. Tried it for lunch and waw, the place is nice and clean, the staff were very nice and the food was amazing. Definitely be back absolutely recommend.

Had a meal Saturday night and was very pleased with everything.. Great food and friendly staff. Good prices. Recommend nae bother.

Food exceeded expectations, it was really good and reasonably priced.

Very tasty burger and the best Guinness

Food amazing and value for money , excellent staff,

Was closed for quite some time, now reopened under new management . Always was a good venue in Callander and is so again. Steak pie was great but soup i'm afraid was way too salty for both our tastes. Great location with back entrance onto Callander meadows. Live music at weekends. A welcome Return down by the riverside😏

This is a lovely wee pub. The food was really good, proper steak pie cooked with the pastry on top. The staff were lovely and we had a great afternoon.

Couldn't believe how good the steak pie and veg was. Served piping hot as it should be and all very tasty.

Warm and friendly staff. Varied mix of seating with only a few bar height tables, thankfully, as I cannot sit at those comfortably. There's the bar area and 2 other areas, one with a bench along the wall with several tables. This setup means you can have normal conversations without talking loudly over background noise. There's also an outdoor deck. Food was typical bar selection but was cooked and presented well. Nice assortment of drinks

Everything was excellent. We shared the roast chicken, beef pie, bread and dips, and tried a side of haggis. All was impressively flavored and just the right temperature. We would definitely return.

Lovely pub nice food good service friendly staff. Recommended.

Be sure to pay a visit when passing through!

All in all a very nice restaurant and the food was delicious. Always my pleasure.

Lovely food, very dog friendly even made up a dish of chicken for our little girl.

I wasn’t expecting much but decided to trust the reviews. I’m so glad I did. Lovely food. I recommended the steak pie!

Popped in for a meal, we’ve been in over the years and have to say this is the best it’s been. Nice atmosphere, staff are very friendly and helpful. The standard of food was spot on, very good food, and prices matched the food being served. Excellent meal and desert. Left happy and will return. The mushroom starter is fab 😜

Sat outside with the dog and kids. Food came out quickly and the staff were friendly allover. Really nice fish and chips and stone baked pizza. I had a coffee too and wasn't disappointed. I recommend this place

A busy place in the heart of Calendar, decorated since I went there last, much smarter and appealing, a busy lunch lots of people coming and going, the sun was out so lucky for the pub, the weather can make or break a business in Scotland, lots of people who you can talk to which is nice. The food was nice and reasonably priced. The Riverside Inn is definitely worth going to whether for drinks or food. Highly recommended.

Just nipped in for a quick drink after climbing Ben Vorlich, was kinda busy but service was still fast and the outside seating area was nice, shame you have to pay for parking out back.

Nice pub, fast ordering and service. Cool staff. Dish chosen, a very generous fish & chips!

Fantastic staff, lovely friendly relaxed atmosphere... my friends and I were made to feel super welcome. Food and drinks also 😋 and reasonably priced too. When visiting the area we will definitely eat and have drinks here again.

I’m in Callander most weekends & this is my new favourite for lunch. The food has been consistently good.. staff are always very helpful & friendly … The onion rings are amazing ( I’m an onion ring connoisseur).

Excellent food, friendly service, lovely terrace. Price/quality is very good!

In for drinks,while meeting friends for a weekend away.very friendly staff.Food looked good next time I am at Callandar ,I would come in and try the food.Great outdoo space,always a bonus.

Big surprise for the dishes at this restaurant! The best quality we had during our entire stay in Scotland, and the super friendly service.

Popped in for a meal and staff were friendly and food was really nice.

Very slow service. Didnt stay for food. Sorry, bar staff although friendly, could do with some training 🙁

Stopped off after walk, friendly staff and great soup !! Would definitely recommend

Really good , dog friendly and great staff

Overall Thoughts: in Callendar Scotland for a High School Field Trip. Obviously as an American we LOVE food! We had some time before we returned to Edinburgh and needed some lunch! The restaurant is at tue beginning of the town (BTW a really cute little town) I’d give this place a 4.8 out of 5. Friendly staff, great food, great atmosphere! 1. Restaurant Type: Burger 2. Coke Or Pepsi: Coke 3. Ketchup Type: Heinz 4. Price/Value: affordable 5. Atmosphere: Bar/Burger Joint 6. Food Quality: Good Quality 7. Service: Friendly Staff 8. Parking: NA 9. Must Haves: the “starter” bread plate was fresh and pretty good. I had a cheeseburger with bacon, very good. My son had the Dirty Mac and said it was also good. My wife had the Fish & Chips, and said it was very good

Lovely friendly place. Dog friendly too. Didnt have food today but will be back!

Everything was perfect. Staff were lovely, food was brilliant. I’ve been to most of the places in Callander for food and this is by far the nicest place!

Place looked nice and staff were friendly Food was awful 😖 so won't be back sorry

Stopped here for a late lunch on the way home from a weekend north. It was really busy but at no point were we made to feel anything other than welcome. The staff were all outstanding, well mannered & really good at their job. We were served great drinks & the most amazing food. The kids menu meant the boy's could have hearty food in smaller portions (steak pie & fish & chips) The prices were really reasonable for the exceptional food we were served. Honestly can't recommend this place enough. It really is a warm, comfortable & friendly place. The staff were happy & inviting. We can't wait to go back. Also dog friendly! Again our dog was made to feel as welcome as us! ⭐️🐾

Great setting on the river. Good reasonable prices Service terrific as usual. Service is always friendly and professional. You must try their latte. Amy is the best latte maker in the whole WORLD ☕☕☕☕☕

Very kind service, large portions of food. Cozy restaurant, we were very satisfied. The chicken burger is delicious 😀

Excellent crispy chicken very nice but the sauce was very hot

Good sele tion of food and nicely presented. Very tasty.

Very very good!!!!! We were traveling and wandering around half of Scotland for a few days and, without seeming to aspire to much, this place was, by far, where we ate the best, one of the best in terms of how we felt and, by far, the best price. We had dinner there because we were passing through and what a surprise... The waiters were very pleasant and attentive. Delicious food and very reasonable price. We were surprised and liked it a lot. Thanks to the waitress and waiter. We have great memories of the place. On our future trip back to Scotland, we will repeat. Thanks guys! Good luck in your life!!!!

Lovely views from the beer garden, food was great and staff are super nice. A real plus that dogs are allowed as well.

Too many dogs, even one on a table!!! On a wet day it wasn't the most pleasant smell, put us off staying for food,

Attending a private function, staff were most efficient and considerate.

Great potion size for your money and realy fresh and tasty food

Our favourite place to chill and eat vist at least once a month. Food is amazing, brilliant service staff very friendly and helpful. Always a great atmosphere

Always a treat to visit. Food is excellent and the staff are friendly and service oriented. Good value for money, comfortable and relaxed.

Lovely staff. I had the pulled pork mac and cheese. Delicious 😋

Nice atmosphere. I enjoyed the DryGate 7 Peaks 🍻

Had a lovely meal this evening, the stuffed chicken breast was absolutely delicious and the veggies were perfectly cooked. Kids meals great value and the burgers were also amazing. Thank you, we'll be back 😀

Amazing meals 4 of us came here today and we got excellent care and service the food was amazing good care for our family dog Rosie well spoiled we will return .

Great wee find on the main road, better than average pub grub. Young friendly staff. Good service.

Food was tasty and staff were very welcoming and helpful

Really good food with friendly staff and lovely decor.

Went in to see the live music during the festival. Great atmosphere lovely pub will go back.

The food was excellent and great service

lovely place good food and very clean.

Average, decent pub food, quick and tasty. Lacking any sort of atmosphere compared to the others we passed on the way home.....

Pub vraiment sympa, personnel très agréable et serviable Allez y sans hésitation !!!

The food is good, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Plus, it's dog-friendly! I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Bit pricey for bottles of cider

Very good pint of Guinness at £4.50 brought to the table by the staff. Fresh water bowl brought without having to ask. Did not have any food but can vouch for the look of it getting delivered to nearby tables.

Muy bonito y muy buena comida. Los camareros muy serviciales y atentos.

Great to be able to bring our wee dog in.

Great food wine and beer attentive staff and experience. Accessible toilet was a nightmare for me as the space was tight, flush was in a place where. bin prevented operation, taps impossible to reach and pump taps too difficult to use. I lead an independent life with a motor wheelchair but was in my push along chair which is small, I sadly had no room to manoeuvre and transfer. My friend had to help me with the things I normally do without issue ie flushing and washing my hands. It was altogether a demeaning experience and shouldn't have been. I hope this will help others or prompt management to address this. Everything else was fantastic but this spoilt what was a reunion of special friends.

2nd time this year ,last time was when it had just reopened and it was a bit slow, but this time staff on the ball , good looks great , did not have time to try anything apart from chips , but I will be back

Great wee afternoon in here. Lost 1 point for atmosphere as there was a dog owner that let his dog bark everytime a new dog came in. Not the pubs fault but if you have wee dog that barks all the time sit on the outside seats.

Did not have any food on this visit but what I seen looked good. Liked the novelty of "the Baught Corner" drink was nice a refreshing.

Lovely dog friendly pub. Had a bar lunch. 3 of us ate. Lovely grub. Couldn,t fault it.

Genuine warm welcome, dog friendly (and brought dogs water), nice beer, very tasty burger. Spot on for quick beer and bite with the dogs

Unhappy with our fish and chips as mostly batter. Complained and paid for 2 out of 3 meals.

Amazing atmosphere with great songs being played. Staff were very nice. Dog friendly with indoor and outdoor seating. The food was decent. The pizza dough was great but everything else about it was nothing spectacular. Overall, I am satisfied and would definitely recommend (just not the pizza).

Delicious food, staff are very helpful, clean place and can get busy as located at public car park easy access for all. Recommend trying this place if in Callander

Just back after a really disappointing evening meal. Onion rings soggy, fish was tiny, wife chips arrived with salt already on them. Complained to waitress and guy behind bar. Sorry you found your meal like that. Not a mention of taking anything off the bill. Shocking and won't be back. Felt a bit like being robbed to be honest

Popped in here today after Been in callander brilliant pub staff friendly and helpful will be definitely recommend and will be returning

This is a nice inn, had a pint with my other half and bar staff were nice. Wish we had went there for our dinner, but will next time. Was lovely watching the world go by in the beer garden. I would recommend The Riverside Inn for a quiet refreshments and a bite to eat.

Food delicious and staff lovely, too. Highly recommend. Foodies won't be disappointed. We will defo be back . A+++++

Vegetables was dirty and hard as bricks and the waitress asked us for. The tip not. Good wee will never be back

First time service very slow .second time went on a Sunday afternoon just for drinks. Ask for peroni got handed corona .ask for dry roasted peanuts salted nuts placed on the bar .my wife asked for salt and vinegar or cheese and onion crisps. After waiting while they searched through the back eventually told they had none

Good service,garlic mushrooms excellent.Pate superb.

Staff super helpful. Food great.

Great wee pub and a lovely wee beer garden out the back 😀

Service was pretty dire... ordered prawn sandwich and other food...10 minutes later they came back and said they didn't have prawns so I ordered the chicken blt...15 minutes later a girl arrived with a cheese toastie.. told her that wasn't what I ordered and it was taken away and the correct sandwich brought out. went to pay the bill and found out I was charged £9 for 3 tiny bowls of chips that the girl told us came with the meal. Another far more competent member of staff solved the issue and refunded me money for the chips and also refunded money I was over charged on 2 other items..... the place wasn't busy but the younger members of staff need some proper training.... also £3 for a can of coke is taking the piss

Recht gutes Essen, in etwas moderneren Pub-Style. Sehr junges Personal mit wenig Erfahrung, sehr freundlich.

Prices for drinks where over the top, I think. 1 pint of lager and single brandy with was mostly lemonade £11.60 ??? Table where not cleaned from the last guests 😑..No no for me..

Nipped in for food on a day trip and was not disappointed. Staff were friendly and the food was awesome. Would definitely recommend and we will be back again.

Handy carpark around the back. Quick friendly service. Nice food, Clean toilets.

Good location for a few beers, solid, if not spectacular, real ale selection.

So nice place!! So nice food , so helpful staff !! recommend 100 %

Have been stopping in here for 30+ years never disappoints. Cracking pub any time of year and the food is always great. Friendly helpful staff too

Good food Quick service Great staff

This is my second review, the first being from 2019 before being closed during covid and changing hands twice. Just not the same to be honest.

Had the most incredible meal here yesterday! My husband 1 year old and I were in Calendar for a day trip. We decided to stop in for a bite to eat. I had the steak burger and my goodness it has to be the best burger I have ever tried! So juicy and the flavours just burst into my mouth. Nicest burger ever! My husband had the steak pie and it was melt in your mouth good so succulent. Last but not least my daughter had the kids macaroni and she scoffed it. We tasted it aswell and the cheese sauce was absolutely mouth watering. The service was incredible and the boys were great with our daughter. Our server had just had a birthday in Amsterdam- so attentive. will most definitely be back!

Available from Amazon is a book called. The art of good manners, should be compulsory reading for certain people in this establishment

Leider hatte das Restaurant zu. Es waren alle Fenster mit brettern zugenagelt und keinerlei Aktivitäten zu verzeichnen. Ein Aushang konnte nicht entdeckt werden. Sehr schade

Stood outside. We couldnt get the qr code to read. Stood for 20 mins. Staff seen us but never bothered to ask if we were having problems with their silly pale QR code. Never again. WE WERE STANDING WAITING NOT SITTING AS YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE OUT. INCOMPETENT STAFF TO THE MAX

Loved it, even more so as they are great with dogs 🐾🐾

What a nice place! I’ve been there for a resourceful rest on our way to Glencoe. The food is tasteful, the beer is refreshing, and the people there are great! I’ve had the pleasure to be served by Simon and Megan, two very nice people to who I wish the best!

Very friendly staff. Very dog friendly. Good portions of food. Good selection of drinks. Highly recommend. Will return.

Lovely carpark right next to river, just had (steak & black pudding pie, wife had chicken & leek) greggs shut, your only get wot u pay for, lol

The Riverside is a relaxing venue with great food and friendly staff.
