The Rumblin Tum in Dumfries & Galloway

We had a lovely breakfast here today. We had delicious filled rolls and coffee, everything was great quality and the service was friendly and efficient.

It’s a considerable time since we were last in the RumblinTum and it seems to have been transformed from an average caff to a very smart and stylish coffee shop cum cafe in the centre of Moffat. It is roomy and has some comfortable settee seating as well as tables and chairs. We were only in for coffees which were very good and the service was efficient and friendly.

I always go to this cafe and its my favourite in moffat. Good portions, good food, good prices and nice friendly staff. Compared to many other cafes in moffat its the one i prefer

We were driving back from Hexham to Glasgow and decided to stop in Moffat for lunch and headed to the Rumblin Tum which was about half full at the time. We stood at the "Please wait to be seated" sign for about 5 minutes meanwhile the members of staff went about their business without even looking up or acknowledging our presence. Some were directly opposite us making food and coffee others walking past serving orders or replacing stock in the kitchen. But nobody made eye contact or said a word to us. All we needed was a quick "I'll be with you in a minute" or "bear with us a moment" but Nothing so we turned around and went next door to Hugo's where we were immediately acknowledged and seated.

Arrived on a very wet day. Went into cafe and noted please wait to be seated sign so stood and waited to be seated. Waitresses passed us by not even acknowledging us. It was fairly busy but there were some free tables. Waited for a few minutes then walked out. Maybe it was fact we were 2 wet motorcyclists in wet gear but wont be back. Have been in many times before with no problems never again....

Was asked in a sharp tone what I wanted, I said 2 coffees The lady replied “ for inside or out”? When I said out she scrunched her face and told me there’d be a wait, obviously I asked how long because there was 2 people inside and nobody else waiting and she literally growled at me and said “I don’t know do I” It was a older lady with messy teeth, I just left because I wasn’t expecting a sharp attitude or response just for asking for 2 coffees from a coffee shop.

Since 2012 we have called in at the R T each May, with the exception of Covid times with our American cousin for breakfast after picking her up from Glasgow airport. This year we called in a Moffat to find the R T closed. Seems they now open at 9am when previously it was 8.30am which is when we reached Moffat. Hugely disappointing having enjoyed it all those years. On the website it still showed opening at 8.30 (changed now). Need to think of somewhere else next year. Motorway service stations I just don't like

The Rumblin Tum is one of many local restaurants around the central two streets of Moffat. Parking is relatively easy either in the square (or more accurately long rectangle) or nearby streets. This isn't a fancy place, but seems to cater to a combination of locals and visitors to this small town. We came here for lunch. The inside cafe was full, but we were able to find seating outside. We ordered at the counter and our meals came out relatively quickly by friendly service. This is a good choice to pop in for a lunch in Moffat.

I soooo love this cafe, it’s my favourite, oh also my 4 dachshunds drag me in as they know lots of people will want to talk to them and they always get sausages as a treat. As it’s very popular and busy, make sure you get there before the rush. Don’t moan if you’re in a hurry, this is a popular restaurant and not a tacky macdonalds. All the cakes are freshly made by the Owner Alison who was highly trained. So recommend the cakeees Cleans dogs are welcome and towels at front door if it’s been swimming 😍.

Thought by the look it would be outstanding, sadly not so. Service very slow, good selection of food, to find out it’s mainly microwave job reheated sausages is just a no no, not like they haven’t got a big kitchen area. I ordered a pancake and bacon, bacon cooked crispy to burnt turns up cooked just and yes the menu says 1 pancake but for £7. You would think it’s a bloody great sized pancake with 2 bits of bacon. No it isn’t. It was stone cold. Hot chocolate was hot I will give them that, but cups are small. All in all very disappointing

We stopped whilst passing through. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Food was tasty and the menu has something for everyone. A good cafe at good prices

When we last visited The RT, back in 2019, I described it as Rather Tired. I had at that time particularly noted that the toilets and threadbare carpet displayed a need for some renovation and updating. Well, what a wonderful transformation. All the paintwork and new carpets have really freshened up the look and the revamped toilets are much better. Once again the food and drinks were great, but this time it was an all round more enjoyable experience.

Called in on a whim and was not disappointed. We had homemade chicken and spring onion soup plus minestrone soup with fresh baguette, and tuna sandwiches plus a bowl a freshly cooked fat chips and all was delicious. Great service and friendly. Definitely recommend.

Arrived in plenty of time to order a breakfast, asked if we had booked a table? If not had a 30 minutes wait , in all the times we have been there never had to book a table especially on a Saturday morning, not impressed since found a good cafe across from them

Always stopped here when going to/from Edinburgh but won't be any more. Used to get mugs of coffee, now it is small tea cups of coffee for twice the price. My haggis roll was one medium slice of haggis for £3.95. Gullane Golf Club later was £3.25 for two big slices of haggis. And that is a prestigious golf club. Staff were friendly though.

Sat at a table outside and went into order lunch. Was told a couldn't order food or a drink. A lady followed me in and order 2 lunches and drinks

Quick and friendly service, throughly enjoyed the club sandwich and lovely caramel latte. Great place to visit.

Great Scottish breakfasts, served piping hot and tasty. Service was attentive and friendly - you won’t go wrong here for a breakfast to set you Up for the day - and with a great veggie selection too

We popped in here with our dog for a late lunch. The food was ok, nothing fancy but tasty and reasonably priced. Unlike some other reviewers, we found the staff friendly and efficient.

The food and service was the best we had experienced in the full 3 day trip. The price is very reasonable for the excellent food I would highly recommend a visit here the homemade quiche is the best I’ve ever tasted. so much so I brought home a spare for today.

We visited here on Saturday 26th august for breakfast , two of us had full breakfasts and one had beans on toast with two sausages added as extra , it is the best breakfast we’ve had in any Moffat cafe/restaurant

Arrived in Moffat mid afternoon and hungry after a drive. Visited RTs and was made very welcome, very happy that not only did they have non-dairy milk but also offer vegan cakes! When we ordered we were offered non-dairy cream or ice-cream on the side, another unexpected bonus! Friendly service and good options for plant based eaters. A real gem! Thank you RTs.

Great place. Very dog friendly - even had towels by the door to dry your dogs. No tables when we arrived but lovely chap said he would reserve one and we could come back in 15 minutes. Still let us have breakfast menu even though it should have finished at 11 as he hadn't been able to offer us a table before 11. Good food good prices. Could teach other places about customer service.

Popped in for some lunch to break up the journey to the North of Scotland as convenient just off M74. Found the Rumblin Tum and glad we did! Food was lovely and reasonably priced as too were the drinks. Don't agree with the other reviews, staff were very friendly and attentive, we ordered a milkshake and even came over to apologise that the milkshake would be slightly longer than the other drinks. Would definitely pop in again when in the area.

We ended up coming here twice on a weekend visit to Moffat. The staff were very nice and the food was excellent.

Lovely lunch. Outdoors. Everything clean and plenty sanitiser around. Food freshly prepared. We both had quiche with salad and coleslaw. Tasted delicious. Friendly and prompt service.

It was a sunny day so we sat outside. The cafe we very busy but the service was slick and friendly. I had a jacket potato cooked to perfection and OH had a hot dog. We even managed to squeeze in a pud. Not that we were hungry but the selection looked so delicious. And didn't disappoint. Can definitely understand why it was the busiest cafe along the street.

I popped into the Rumbling Tum today for a light lunch. Latte and a chicken mayonnaise filled roll. Both were outstanding. The owner, when finding me an outside table said to bear with them as due to unforeseen circumstances they were short staffed. Well if she hadn’t told me I would have been none the wiser as the service was nothing but 100% professional and polite. It was obvious that they were busy however all the staff I saw were acting in an extremely calm and professional manner. I feel I didn’t wait any longer than normal for service and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending The Rumbling Tum if your visiting Moffat. A great looking selection of both hot and cold offerings and everything I saw go by looked fresh and appetising. A real gem in a lovely town. Well done Rumbling Tum.

Met here with family members. Lovely little eatery with great service and food. It was extremely busy which speaks for itself, when there are people queuing for tables you KNOW the food is good.

Wonderful freshly prepared food and served with a smile. Would highly recommend and looking forward to visiting again.

Stopped off here en route north and popped in to this cafe. Really impressed with the coronation chicken abs cheese panini snd chips. Service was a bit slow due to covid but they were very busy and turning people away. Highly recommended.

Staying on caravan site in Moffat walked into town had a lovely meal at Rumbling Tum . I had baked potato which was delicious and very filling . Husband had a bacon and Egg Roll It was a really hot day and the waitress brought out a bowl of water for our dog which we really appreciated .. lovely friendly staff quick service even though they were very busy .. We will be back next time we visit

Stopped in Moffat for lunch and definitely picked the wrong place here.Smells like a greasy spoon, food is not great at all. Ordered one of the burgers on special, served in a morning roll and tastes like it had been reheated 10 times.Even the chips were rotten.Noone comes to the table to ask how your food is, on leaving the server did ask how it was. We said it wasn't nice, he says "ok".Crap.

Went in for a snack, daughter has a portion of chips. Undercooked and anemic looking. She left nearly all of them. I had a roll with sausage, ok but no butter offered pretty ordinary. Greg’s has better quality and less than 1/2 the price.Gents toilet a bit rundown with cracked tiles.Mentioned the chips when paying and just got an “oh sorry”.We wouldn’t return.

Well l was rather hungry so me and my wife went to get something to eat so w went .We were shown to our table ,we ordered our food .firstly our drinks came my wife's coffee was fine .but l was pouring my tea into my cup and l noticed the cup was very very unclean and dirty so l said to the servers and they changed it with l am sorry.OK fine so we ordered our food l ordered and fryer egg on a roll , but when it got to me l through experience l had a look at what was on offer . Now this is a first anywhere l have eaten ,the egg was cooked but the yoke of the egg was raw still cold as it had just came out of the fridge ...l could not believe it l showed my wife she was stunned saying that egg its raw ..they changed it with a wee sorry again but if l had not check it l reckon l would be I'll just now ...so no l would not ever eat there again so be careful if you go for something to eat there...

Called in for a coffee and we weren’t really that impressed. Also while I’m sure they were trying to maintain the 1 metre social distance rule we didn’t feel comfortable as it was busy and some of the customers had clearly never heard of it. Service wasn’t great.

Food was ok but quite pricey for the portion size. Service was fine. A few customers entering and walking around without masks unchallenged so a bit worrying.

This is a very old fashioned cafe/ restaurant which as far as decor is concerned needs an upgrade. The service was excellent but it is a pity that was not matched by the food.

was staying in moffat overnight and tried this little place for breakfast. food was all cooked to perfection, clear plates all round... price wise its on par with everything around it, we were £36 for 4 breakfasts and drinks. would definately recommend it.

Ate here quite a few times, but this would be our last! Ordered 2 tuna mozzarella panni's and an egg and bacon roll. Was quite busy and waited about 45 mins. While waiting, noticed none of the menu's were sanitised after each customer. Neither was the pen that was used for track and trace. Vinegar bottle took from one customer to another with out been sanitised.Eventually got our sandwiches, to our disappointment, no tuna in the panni, instead it was tomato! Far too much tomato making it soggy! And the egg and bacon roll was swimming in grease, just dripped from the roll.When we went to pay the bill, mentioned it to the gentleman at the till to be told its usually him that does that!Such a shame as it used to be such a lovely place to eat.

Just wanted a hot drink and a small bite to eat. Lucky enough to get a table outside then you order inside. A bit late in the day (about 4.30pm) but still a few sweet options. Gluten free options were limited but they did have a fruit scone. Hot chocolate was nice but very small for the price. Can't really comment on the interior. Staff were friendly and we were asked for contact & trace details.

Stopped here for breakfast on way to Edinburgh. Friendly place and staff. Food was very good and everywhere clean. We sat on comfy leather sofa.

Visited this place for scone and coffee before going home.Comfortable seating.Looks like it has been a pub but is much more. Meals,cakes,lunches etc were being served. Good service and despite being busy were available if needed.

Seen to be covid friendly but we got the last available table. As we were shown to it another customer was commenting to someone how easy it was to reach. Service slow but it was lunchtime, i would rather queue outside and there be less tables. We copped for a table where everyone passes closely going to the toilets. Cornish pasty and mushy peas no mint sauce available is a big let down. I chose soup and was amazed how crammed with veg it was but as someone who cooks with salt and adds if neccesary i found 2 spoonfuls was the best i could do of the soup, totally inedible,i dud mention it on the way out but no offer of deduction. In all the cup of tea was the best so never bothered with the cakes and wont bother going back either

I have been going here for lunch for a year now [would also go as a wee one as a treat from my nana] and my mum and I prefer it to anywhere else in town. very nice warm and yummy food and the staff are such the friendliest bunch!

We had a late breakfast at this place today whilst driving back from Edinburgh. The service was absolutely fabulous, smiley happy and helpful.... We ordered to vege breakfasts, with hot drinks and orange juice. The eggs were lovely, roasts were served warm. The grilled tomatoes unfortunately tasted as if they were microwaved so didn’t come up to expectations. Overall we were pleased to have stopped here, a hearty breakfast served by a lovely team.

Stopping here was the perfect end to completing the Grey Mares Tail walk! Delish soup and 1/2 sandwich and gorgeous milky latte! Lovely friendly staff and 100x better coffee served here than fancier looking 'Hugo's' next door.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here, after a small wait for an indoor table (outdoor seating was available, but was blowing a gale!) we were seated by a lovely gentleman, perhaps the owner? on a comfy sofa with table spaced apart from others due to COVID measures in place.We chose the soup of the day and a sandwich, along with coffees. Food arrived quickly considering they were quite busy and was obviously freshly prepared. There was a selection of homemade cakes and pastries on offer.Good value for money and would definitely recommend and would deffo return if in the area

We called in on Sunday morning on and the cafe was set for social distancing as expected and we sat outside .We waited fir half an hour for two coffees and two bacon/egg rolls... fair enough they were busy ....however the service the order taking and the service with a smile was sadly lacking.When the food eventually arrived the rolls were stale the bacon looked like it was boiled and the eggs still snotty .....We were in a hurry as we had waited so long but nobody came outside yet the servers were standing inside talking....and The social distancing Queue was growing .I won’t be going there ever again !!Worst bacon roll ever !!Wish I’d gone to Arietty s across the road

Had pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Even though we were past breakfast time they were still happy to do them for us. Pancakes or should I say 'pancake', was disappointing, probably bought in, nothing special, bacon was nice, but quite hard. I'd say for nearly £6 for the pancake, 2 pancakes would of been more reasonable, plus freshly made would be much nicer and make me want to return. Coffee was nice though and staff were friendly.

We visited this cafe for a quick bite after we had walked the local walk to Gallow Hill. It was a really friendly cafe with a varied menu considering C-19. The staff were lovely and the food was too. The service was quick and their hygiene measures were spot on. Well done

Great service and good food . Didn’t even know that the bill would be half price cos of government backing. Happy smiling staff is what your 👀 for then this place has it. I’ll be back half price or not because the food was delicious

As we have being here in the past,called in on back home this place is friendly and spread out,got to our table asked to fill in details re covid, ordered our lunch of pot of tea haggis n mozzarella panini and a hot dog with onions both meals was excellent and service was the best,great place to go to.

Just a quick review. Nipped in for a quick coffee after walking Grey Mares Tail. Service and Covid arrangements were reassuring but the coffee wasn't great unfortunately. My morning coffee from my coffee pod machine at home was better which was a shame.

We called in here for a coffee - take away only as COVID-19 restrictions applied. The coffee was lovely and a warm pleasant welcome from 1 of the few establishments open on the Saturday we visited.

We had a fabulous lunch here on the way to a weekend break at Loch Long. Menu was varied and service was excellent.On leaving I accidentally left a glove behind and a wonderful member of staff had jumped into her car and driven to the coach station in order to look for me and return my glove - thank you so much - service way over and above expectations

Visited with my sister, needed just a light lunch and there was so much to chose from. We thoroughly enjoyed our baked potatoes and scones. Always good service and delicious food!

Always a great place to visit. One of my favourite little cafes. Great cakes and food, always friendly service. Reminds me of the places I used to go when I was wee and now I get to take my own daughter who also loves it. I come all the time and alway stop here when I'm on the M74 back to Glasgow. Ten minutes off the motorway and better than the miserable services by miles.

What a gem....always like a coffee shop...this is much more...every year we venture up north and always call in at moffat just an 1 mile from the motorway.Our highlight is the Rumblin tum....friendly staff and great food/choice...we have been coming for years and it never lets us down...we have tried else where...But you cant beat a comfortable environment and a nice food plus the bonus of lovely staff

Stopped in for early lunch on Monday. We chose the panini’s - one Haggis and one their special. Both yummy and came with a lovely salad and coleslaw. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Polite friendly efficient staff. Great bacon rolls and a very decent cuppa.will revisit !

Visited here on Monday, I had smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel, delicious, my husband had the club Sandwich, also delicious. We have since visited today, I had cheese and "real ham" toastie with good helping of fresh salad, my husband had Scotch pie, mushy peas and chips, both meals excellent. They were very busy, staff were efficient and friendly, tables cleared and cleaned straight away. Will be back.

Not quite sure about the 'outdated 1970s decor' comment - maybe I don't read enough interior decoration magazines...... Anyway - a great place to stop for a cup of coffee or a lunch on the way to/from Scotland.

Stopped here for coffee and cake with friends. Seated very quickly with the friendly staff. Order taken and a great selection of what looked like home made cakes, tarts, desserts and biscuits. Drinks and cake came very quickly. Friendly staff and very good value for money. I’d definitely come again and highly recommend for a lunch as the food going past looked great!

Popped into the Rumblin Tum with my partner for a quick coffee and a roll and bacon. The latte, whilst beautifully presented in a a tall glass cup lacked any flavour. It just tasted like warm milk as very little coffee had been used to make it. The bacon roll was of equally poor quality as the bacon had either been microwaved to ensure it met the consistency of chewy leather or had been cooked hours before and left to dehydrate in the oven. The front of the cafe as you go in the door has a relatively modern feel until you walk about 6 metres in and you are met with a time warp in terms of the outdated 1970's decor. The cafe looks good from the outside but really disappoints on the inside.

Visited Sunday 15/12/2019 while on a coach trip I had a Lovely latte and caramel shortbread, while my husband had a coffee, square sausage sandwich with a peppermint slice.

Great (and well-priced) breakfast in a restaurant which is also a bustling community hub. Staff were friendly and helpful, would be delighted to visit again.

My Mum and I visited the Rumblin Tum last week. It was a nice cafe. We only had coffee, as we had only eaten Breakfast a few hours earlier. We'll be back again, when we're up in Scotland. I will recommend to others.

Visited several times during our short stay in Moffat- even for breakfast on last 2 days because another clients looked great!

Restaurant looks small from the outside but is like the Tardis inside. Good selection of food at reasonable prices freshly made and served by friendly and helpful staff, bit disappointed with the toilets which need to be upgraded wall tiles past there sell by date,but would recommend this restaurant for its friendly atmosphere and good food

Called in here while touring in the borders in motorhome. Really fancied a bacon sandwich, but,... to me , a bacon sandwich needs to have 3 rashers, what I got was a large bun with 2 small, fatty rashers for £3.10 ! Mean, mean, mean, very dissapointed, still, there's plenty more cafes.

I was passing through Moffat and decided to have some lunch with my friend. We looked at a few places to eat but decided on this establishment and it was a good choice.

Such a welcome surprise . Food was simply the best and freshly prepared. Served fast and cheap too.. if you want a lovely snack or lunch this is the place.. very friendly staff too.. highly recommend....the young girl on the till was also lovely and friendly ...keep up the good work guys you are at the top of your game...

A wonderful cafe we always visit The Rumblin Tum when we stay at Moffat. Food gorgeous, staff wonderful, always treat you like long lost friends, easy to find on the main street. It has a lot of history. Caters for all types of dietry needs.

We had a lovely sandwich lunch in the Rumblin Tum cafe in the main street of the lovely old town of Moffat. Had we stayed longer we would have returned for dinner. Serves breakfasts, hot meals & light lunches, also wines & beer. Great find - plenty of room, very clean & the staff were really friendly.

very clean and tidy little place food very good staff very good , not very cheap but you get what you pay for.

One of those rare places where you order lunch and get a meal that sets you up for the rest of the day!

Dropped in for food on our way north.

Popped in for a coffee on our way north. Located in a good spot with easy parking. This is a traditional cafe set in a bit of a time warp and doesn't look any different to the way it did in the 50's. Coffee was good and service fast and friendly. The scotch pies could do with gravy as well as mushy peas, but were ok. Good menu and ideally placed.

We enjoyed a wee breakfast here of filled rolls and a cup of tea. Not too bad but could be better. The service was good.

We went here for a light lunch and this place was absolutely lovely. A family run business attentive staff and good food could not fault it would definitely go here again. Well worth a visit.

Lunch with a friend , we both had the soup and sandwich deal , fantastic service considering every table was taken !! The soup washimemade tomato and roasted pepper delicious & we both had cheese savoury sandwich !

We had been out for a drive in the Borders and arrived in Moffat around 4pm and thought we would give The Rumblin Tum a try. There are a number of choices along the street

Recently popped in here for a quick snack on our way home from holiday. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Service was quick and food tasty and non expensive. Really enjoyed my coffee too, very tasty. The young lad that served us was so nice and polite. Will definitely recommend.

My daughter & I were in the area to go walking so called in after previously visiting. It was just after 2pm. They were still busy but not flat out in the lunch rush. The young lady who served us was pleasant & chatty. We ordered an apple pie with cream, a fruit slice & tea & coffee. All arrived quickly, the cakes were delicious & tea & coffee were both more than acceptable.

Just visited for morning coffee. Excellent service and pretty good coffee too. Would visit again the next time we are in town.

Just had a tea and lite afternoon lunch in here, staff are lovely, food simple but great and the service was extremely quick. All of this with a price that is very cheap. Will definitely return next time in the area.

What a fab wee place - lovely soup and baguette for my lunch, & "the best bacon roll - ever!" for my friend. Prices are really reasonable - and the staff were all really friendly, and - considering how busy they were - very efficient. Would definitely recommend this place.

On our way back from Scotland we took a 27 mile diversion to go back to The Rumblin Tum and it was worth a second visit as it was as good as we remembered, great food, great staff, lovely loos

Called in for a coffee while Geocaching round Moffat. We sat at a table outside so had a great view of the many motorbikes gathered at the statue of the ram. Coffee was good, staff very pleasant.

stopped for lunch. one of the best steak pie I have ever had. then delicious chocolate cake which was vegan. friendly helpful staff. nice atmosphere. would definitely recommend

Stopped of for lunch Family of five and one dog Sandwiches and cakes were very nice Dog friendly with water provided Wonderful coffee and vegan chocolate cake

Nice little café in a cute town, perfect stop on our ride back to England. Not too far from the highway, Food for everyone. Looking for a good spot to have good food, definitely recommend.

We stopped in Moffat on route to our summer holiday in Dumfriesshire for a quick bite. Sat outside as we had our dog with us. Lovely panini’s and the children’s lunch bags were a hit with our little ones. Great service. Would definitely choose here again.

A perfect spot for an afternoon break after a day of driving. They serve a full range of food, but we had coffee, tea, and a bridal slice and apple pie slice. Yummy stuff, all enjoyed in a cozy environment with good service.

With so many cafes to choose from in Moffat it makes it a difficult choice but we were not disappointed when we chose the RT. We sat outside because we had our wee dog with us. My wife ordered a toastie and I ordered a panini, both came with side salad and both were delicious. We also ordered a cappuccino each and the coffee was excellent. Overall I thought the cafe was excellent and I would highly recommend it.

Only went for in for a take away coffee, but the place looked great to have a meal, and by the way the coffee was excellent.

Stopped for lunch at The Rumblin Tum also known as RT Bistro. RT could certainly be translated as Rather Tired. The hot rolls and soup were OK but the toilets and threadbare carpet displayed a need for some renovation and updating.

Myself and my mum have stopped here for a full breakfast every September since starting university in Glasgow. It makes the perfect pit stop with a beautifully cooked hearty breakfast served by wonderful friendly staff who even remembered us from one year to the next. Beautiful place would thoroughly recommend!

Rumblin Tums is a great cafe that also provides breakfast until 11am lunches and evening meals. It is licensed. There are a few sofas for a comfortable seat and tables inside and a few outside. Staff are very welcoming & friendly. Food is freshly prepared and is excellent. There is a daily specials board in addition to the menus and wine list. Good value for money. The toilets are very clean and welcoming with hand cream in addition to soap. We are regular visitors and will keep on coming.
