Terrific atmosphere in the bar and the restaurant serves good, no nonsense food with a scottish bias.

Nice place to be on a very wet afternoon in Ayr. A particular thank you to Jason who cooked for us even though the kitchen was about to close. Our first try of Haggis. Karen and Matt

On our holidays from Ireland for a few well earned days away with our girls got 2 drinks for myself and husband. Paid sat down to then about to take a drink and the bar lady came over who served us said we can't drink in there with kids but can if we order food . What is the difference I would like to know such bad hospitality we left and got our money back and the drinks were left sitting there . Silly rules maybe look at this again. Don't mind following rules but be clear in the first place .

A very old world pub, steeped in tradition. Cold beers, great staff with the added bonus of Rabbie Burns poems and prose capture on the walls everywhere. No food was consumed, so I can not offer an opinion on that.

It was very busy, but atmosphere was nice. I had macaroni it was ok. But the person I was with had steak pie they said the gravy was over salted, but didnot want to moan because they were as busy.. Would be good if you could get a Mocca...

3 of us went in for lunch, ordered food and waited 35 minutes for mince and tatties which came out like slop, mac n cheese came out in a bath of grease, and cajuin burger came out like charcoal. Was my 1st time there and certainly won't be back. 2 of us had bad stomachs today because of this food. We sent the mince n tatties back as it was brought out cold. Was brought back few minutes later, it had been microwaved, when u could have made a fresh plate quicker.

For years I always nipped in for a drink...never again. Lady behind the bar was dealing with a leak over the till and clearly did not want to be 'bothered' with customers buying over priced drink.

It was a cold wet Sunday when we wandered into the Tam O'Shanter Inn, the chef and staff made us feel so welcome. The food was delicious especially the Tam O'Shanter burger - you'll need a big appetite. Would certainly return as we had value and taste for our money.

We popped in on a Friday evening. It was nice and busy. The one real ale was not on, which was a shame. They have their own Tam O Shanter bottled beer which I will try next time, as didn’t see it until after ordering a very good pint of Guinness.

Lovely traditional bar, smallish inside, however our group of ten were accommodated together. Staff were attentive but not overbearing. The food comes from another building next door (with a lane between them) therefore soup and teas and coffee are not carried between the buildings. Steak pie, macaroni, fish and burgers were all fantastic.

Good food, friendly staff. Even let mum who couldn't finish all of her steak pie take the rest of her meal home in a wee tray. Seats aren't the best though and it's a little cramped but that's just how the building is. Both the steak pie and chicken and leek pies were good, nice chunks of meat. Will definitely come back again.

Had a ham salad, this consisted of 2 pieces of ham, small amount of coleslaw and a handful of chips, with a side of dodgy salad all for the grand cost of £7.95. Complained to the chef and her attitude was atrocious, told me no one else has complained about it, never to get an apology basically just shrugged her shoulders and said she would pass it on. Never had service like that ever, most certainly won't be back.

Great old pub - sadly found the bar staff experience to be poor. Witnessed an elderly gentleman thank them for the service and apologise for not finishing the beer. Only for them to excuse them loudly of being a strange guy as he walked out. Then at 20:40 had to listen to muttering of I want to go home as last orders were called and felt pushed out by 20:45 - wouldn't return sadly

Very cosy place. We love this place with my husband. Sometimes we are coming especially from Glasgow for the dinner. Just to sit and enjoy. Everything is always yummy. Feels like at home - you don't want to get out . There are pictures on wall showing old times - feels like I was in there in another life. It's strange, but I always have feeling, that I was dreaming about exactly this place, before I even came to UK. And I was wondering that time - I do not know place like this (wet pavement that dream time was brick, stone buildings, this warm light from inside , when outside is just about to get dark), no grass, no trees. But there were black lanterns - I think from different age/ century. Today was windy and rainy. Plant behind window was dancing and Robert Burns smiled from label on bottle, sitting under picture in corner. Definitely it was a very nice afternoon, service very professional and smiling. I recommend for all that experience, like this could be a hundred years ago, and I could hear horse behind window, and people could still talking in background...

I really hate to leave a negative review for any business or service but on this occasion I have no choice. We normally go to a different Chinese restaurant in ayr that we love and have really enjoyed in the past but we thought we would try somewhere different to see how it was. Myself my wife and 2 kids went to Ruby 7 days on a Friday evening for a family dinner out that we were looking forward to. The atmosphere in the restaurant was flat and very empty. The food arrived quickly but was not nice and some of Most of it was cold. We sent the cold food back only for it to be brought back out a few minutes later after clearly being being put in a microwave. My wife asked for a white wine at £7 per glass and it was served warm. The restaurant was nearly empty on a Friday evening. All in we didn't enjoy the food or experience. We unfortunately won't be going back .
