Had the bacon cheeseburger and it's the best burger I've had in Glasgow, easily top 5 burgers I've ever had. Super friendly staff as well. 1000% recommend! (no, it's not a typo)

We love Van Winkles because of the dog menu, the human menu is also pretty good šŸ˜† The food was tasty and service was quick. Saturday lunchtime was not busy which meant the place lacked a bit of atmosphere but when we passed by later in the day 8pm ish it was much busier.

Nice bar with the best selection of bourbons and good food menu, especially for fried chicken fans. The Kentucky inspired afternoon tea is an interesting offer with tasty food, especially the halloumi bites and sweets were good, although the coffee wasn't great.

The atmosphere was a bit low due to it being lunchtime on a weekday. But I imagine it's livelier later on in the evenings and weekends. Looking forward to going back and bringing the dog as it's a dog friendly place.

I am a fool for chicken wings. Their wings were great. I got the extra spicy and they had the perfect amount of heat. They don't count the drummies and flats as separate, so 10 wings are 10 whole wings. The bartender was superlative. He gave us great advice about hiking in the Highlands. Thank you again.

Didnā€™t actually realise this was here, but the place weā€™d planned to go was stowed. It was a quiet Tuesday so we immediately got an outside table. Drink prices were on the high side but, whatever, cost of living crisis. Ordered 2 small plates of Mac cheese and chicken tenders. Canā€™t say either of them blew my mind but they were pretty decent. Everything, including the toilets, was very clean. Bartender was a lovely guy. Iā€™d definitely come back here - good location, good food and drink, good service.

Booked the function room for my works night out as we had been a few times when it was McPhabbs and always enjoyed it. Firstly they called a week before the night out to advise they had double booked the downstairs function room and told us they were moving us upstairs. I said I wasn't happy about it and after numerous phone calls they finally gave us what we had booked! Secondly, on the night, turned up and the bar was no longer in the function room, the sound system wasn't working and no area for buffet food so tables were crammed with food and drink and staff were nowhere to be seen to clear it away. Decided we would never have our annual Christmas night in there again. Thirdly, popped in at the weekend before a show and was charged Ā£21 for two double vodkas. To note we didn't even ask for doubles the barmaid offered šŸ˜• left after one drink and can honestly say I won't ever be back...

As an American visiting Glasgow, there are times that I really miss/crave Buffalo wings!! Y'all, let me tell you... ...The wings here at Van Winkle are the best ones I've ever had!! If you're ever in the area, you must give this place I try!! I give it a 10/10!! šŸ˜Ž (Oh, and the service is incredible!! Also, the atmosphere is great!! It has that quintessential pub feel to it, and they play rock music over the speakers!! It's a pretty dope place to spend a Saturday evening!!)

Was having a particularly terrible day made infinitely worse by a certain food delivery app messing me about and constantly telling me my order would be soon. Cancelled and ordered direct from Van Winkle who got it to me right on time. The food was freshly cooked, tasted amazing, and they'd even sent the cancelled order for free. Amazing service and I'll be ordering direct from them every week now!

The food here is absolutely amazing! Hands down the best macaroni cheese I've ever had. There's so many amazing choices on the menu it was tough to decide what to have. We had the 5 cheese mac and cheese with chips, the pulled pork burger, corndogs and the Buffalo mac and cheese dirty fries. We couldn't believe how reasonably priced it was considering how good it tastes and the great portion sizes. Our server was super friendly and the place just had an awesome vibe all around. Each thing tasted phenomenal and we'll definitely be back.

Went here for dinner one Thursday night as family of 4 with dogs. They do a special of two steaks on the Thursday so we thought we'd give them a try. It's not great, the steak is a cheap cut equivalent to supermarket cuts, served with chips & onion rings, peppercorn sauce is extra. The quality is just ok, nothing great, tasty enough but not like making you think you'll want to come back for it. However, it's served in some victorian looking enamalled metal bowl thing which is a dreadful attempt at being quirky or different, it's also a pain to eat out of, for Ā£25 for two steaks I put up with it, but for the usual price of Ā£21 for a steak I would expect a proper plate. It was a Thursday night right after pay day and the place had 3 tables on, that makes you wonder. All in the food was middling, in all honesty I would have enjoyed a steak cooked at home better, however the service was top notch which is a shame because the food belies the service which is far superior.

I'm surprised there are any positive reviews for this place. We went on a Sunday evening, party of six. The place was dead. The food was at best "ok", nothing special, but not horrible. Portion sizes were also "ok". We nearly died of starvation waiting for it, though - it took AGES to come out! And, when it did, the wings were cold. After it was put on the table, the servers vanished without asking if we wanted any condiments, etc. The final insult though was the price - way too expensive for average food, and poor service (especially the included "service" charge (as there were six of us). We will definitely not be going back.

Very disappointing food. Staff were lovely and the overall look of the place is charming but the chips looked and tasted like they've been taken out the bin - dry, bland and cooked in very old oil, very stale tasting. The rest of the food was a solid 3/10 quality wise (and I'm not even a picky eater whatsoever). Shame! Cause I would have loved to come back to such nice staff and cosy looking venue. Please stop serving food or get much better at it, it will cost you customers :(

Food was lovely, good selection of drinks. Some staff were friendly, however others were quite rude! We knew we had to have the table back after the alloted 2hr time slot but one staff member was rather rude approaching us 10mins before we were due to vacate the table, snippy attitude to say drink up as table has to be clear in 10 mins. Our server who was lovely had already given us a heads up 10mins prior. There was no need for the rude staff member to approach us as I had already asked for the bill which they could quite clearly see in front of me!
