Food was a good size. However, the meat on a mixed grill was overcooked. They forgot the extra haggis we ordered and were not informed there was no whiskey sauce as advertised with it. By the time the peppercorn sauce came, the meal was almost over. Tables were full of dirty plates on arrival but were cleaned during our visit. It felt quite dull in there.

Good value grub. Good choice. Gluten free available. No chicken nuggets so granddaughter got a full chicken breast instead at the kids price. Can't say fair than that. Wife had a lovely curry and boy had kids pizza. Looked lovely. Myself had mixed grill. Now I'm really picky a fried egg is not supposed to be a false plastic rubber egg. As this was. It should have been smoothsilky soft and sweet. Never mind though. Quick service Good grub Very pleasant

A relaxed venue as you would expect for a Wetherspoons. This was mid week and so not busy. The WiFi worked. The at table app ordering system worked. Food was served quickly and without fuss. I had the fish and chips and the batter was excellent. One disappointment in that the coffee machine had run out of non decaf. A good meal for a very good price.

I’ve been going to the Robert the Bruce for many years and l can honestly say that the quality and condition of their real ale beers have steadily improved. I have been visiting The Bruce throughout this current Beer Festival period and all of the beers have been presented in pristine condition and served by enthusiastic, friendly and helpful staff. A top shout out to the management and all the staff for making my visits such a memorable experience.

A cold Friday morning in December and The Robert The Bruce in Dumfries was the destination on a trip up to Glasgow. It was wet, it was windy, it was grim. Fortunately it was not so in The Bruce. We ordered two breakfasts in the not too busy pub and waited whilst enjoying our coffees. After a short wait they arrived and frankly, they were lovely. Really very nice indeed. Hot, well cooked and exceptionally tasty, it was delicious. Recommended.

Came for breakfast, food arrived was freezing cold send back and was microwaved, came back egg and bacon still frozen egg was solid. Waited more time for fresh bacon and egg and our extra beans. Manager couldn't even say a word to us. Girls serving us was lovely couldn't apologise more. The cook really should get some training. As a chef myself I would have been embarrassed to send that breakfast out. Disgusted today nobody ever bloody smiles either place is a prison. Table number bar 2 FYI. Been over 40 minutes table is still dirty next to us not been touched. Not like the place is busy today

Good points..Service was friendly enough and food came quick and was a place out the rain. Now not so good points... very poor quality food macaroni tasted like packet cheesy pasta (but not as tasty) and wasnt hot, the chips were overcooked and soggy and my drink had something floating in it!..the full place looks as if it needs a good clean the tables don't get cleaned after one customer to the next, menus were all sticky and the bar area also. Tbh I've only ever visited a few Wetherspoons but this was by far the grubbiest. The place was so noisy and not very nice to sit in and the toilet wasn't working either....100% won't be back tbh was worst macaroni I've ever tasted was rotten!...staff seemed pleasant enough😏

Popped in here during a very brief trip to Dumfries. 1 x curry 1 x pizza 1 x pasta Alfredo, 1 x garlic bread and something else ordered. 3 meals were fine. But the pasta Alfredo wasn't good at all. Was straight out the microwave and the balance of cheese sauce and other ingredients wasn't there. I ordered chicken and it was cold sandwich style chicken added on top. Ordered on the app, meals and drinks arrived quickly. Staff were pleasant. It was fairly busy at the time (Thursday 7ish) At the end of the day it's a Spoons and it serves Spoons food.

I am rating them low for food and service because of fewer vegetarian options on the menu and service as I have wasted money, even though it's cheap on the coffee refill mugs recently. I say that because I have experienced something funny the last few times, the staff doesn't tell you about switching off the machine, when you are buying it or while doing it. I didn't face that problem before. However, I do feel that it's one of the best places in Dumfries to chill with friends and family or even on your own.

Never stay at this hotel. The restaurant food is delicious and large portions. My family use to regularly eat here every Sunday before Covid. After Covid there's a staff shortage that affects the quality of the services. I only visit the restaurant again because the hotel is closing on the June 2nd this year. It is sad to see the hotel close. Hopefully someone buys this hotel and turn it into an apartments.
