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

Worst wetherspoons in the country. The triple burger was a joke... Guy behind the grill definately was sleeping. More edible meat on the bottom of my shoe than the 3patties I got. I know Wetherspoons is low budget but never had an issue in the past. Thanks but no thanks.

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.

The guy with the beard is the epitome of cool, and his service wasn’t bad either. The food is just what you expect from a Spoons, which is good enough for us. The alcohol was exquisite as usual and perfectly priced for you discerning consumer. The waitress could have applied her enigmatic skills more diligently, but this was not a concern for us as enthusiastic gourmandizer. We would go back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brutal honesty here. All the surfaces here; including the tables, chairs, menus, forks and knives are sticky and in need of a very serious clean. Most of the food served and presented is below the average standard of pub grub. Chances are you'll end up getting a wrong order (trust me, I've seen it happen.) That also includes your drinks. Speaking of drinks, this spoons happens to never re-stock their barrels. Every bloody pint I've had was still and watery and what did the staff do upon complaint ... ? Nothing. If you're coming here with a pal for a nice drink, meal and conversation ... Good luck to you. When it reaches 7:00 in the afternoon, every table and chair is filled by either groups of young drunk folk or drunk pensioners trying to speak as loud as possible. The entire building sounds like a Metallica concert by noon because of the amount of people talking. What makes it worse is everybody trying to compete over each other , therefore shouting even louder , constant loop of noise. The smoking area is either filled with 'creepy joe' pensioners speaking a load of nonsense or young lads high on substance bouncing about so good luck having a cigarettte. Overall , this spoons is more of a drinkers bar compared to a resteraunt bar. I'd recommend it for a night or two , but not as a regular stop unless you're catching some pre-pints before a pub crawl !!

I had a breakfast muffin which was grim. Muffin was cold, bacon was tough, fried egg was cold and tough whilst the cheese didn't have enough heat from it's surroundings to melt it. Sausage was warm and seemed fresh. I did eat most of it as I as I was hungry and it was edible. I mentioned this to the shift supervisor who cleared my plate and he did apologise but did nothing further. I have had many of these breakfast muffins in a range of wetherspoons and this was by far the worst.

Barely enough for a child, covering less than 1/2 the plate.

The first thing I noticed was that every surface - bannisters, tables, menu, bar - was sticky and in need of a thorough clean. The food that came was not what we ordered, eg Haggis Paninni instead of Ham and Cheese Paninni. A pint instead of a half. The overall impression was that the place is underfunded, understaffed and undercleaned.

My first time at a "spoons". Had I known what I was getting into I'm sure I would have liked it more. Food was edible but not great. The atmosphere makes you think you're walking into an authentic Scottish pub but it's a chain. The American equivalent would be something like an upscale Waffle House. The staff was great though, that was the core redeeming quality for me.

Firstly, may I say that my previous experiences, school reunions, Birthday dinners etc in your establishment have been excellent, with excellent service. I was surprised therefore yesterday to find myself being told off by a bearded young gentleman in the management team loudly and rudely, and in the most public and embarrassing way possible, for an imaginary incident involving my having just urinated in public. We returned from the smoking area to find our dinner, which we had only begun to eat, had been transferred to the bin. It was explained that the brief trip to the smoking area had taken over half an hour. If an accommodation could be reached regarding the ruined dinner, I would be most grateful.

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.

Stayed at the Black Bull as a stop off coming down from Skye. The room was perfect for our family of four with bunk beds and toys for the little ones and a very thoughtful dog tray with bowls, blankets and even some food. It was perfect after a long day of driving. We will definitely be making it our go to place to stay whenever we are in the area.
