The best restaurants in Lowlands

Excellent buffet choice, well worth a visit

Great food, very welcoming service, amazing view! We ordered half of the menu and our group had different favourites, however all agreed that best were crab cocktail, scallops with garlic, battered haddock and the lobster!

The food here was amazing and the service was fantastic. As I look under 18, they made sure to check for ID before selling me alcoholic beverages. They were very professional and the food was delicious

Great place, with friendly staff that serves up excellent food. Special mention to the bar manager, Kenny, always up for a good bit of banter.

Amazing real Scottish breakfast!! Perfect portion and extraordinary taste. Deffo use it in a future Helpful and kind staff.

Frequently visited this establishment in 2004 when it was a small farm shop , it expanded and rebuilt 12 years ago and remains a hidden gem in Dumfries . Has a great ethos, the food is superb, the staff at all just delightful and the farm shop has the most amazing produce . Not to be missed if you are in the area or just worth a special trip .

While on a Motorcyle tour called here looking for somewhere to get a bite. after being directed by local shop keepers that we asked to find some where to eat and were surprised by the varied menu, ham and gruyere toast was very very tasty, service was reasonably quick considering they were almost full, staff were spot on, price was maybe a little dear but everything has had a hike, so considering the quality on a par, would recommend and use again when in town

Disappointed with our lunch and even more disappointed by the staffs reaction to our complaint. They didn't care at all and charged us in full. Gluten free bread fell apart and no coleslaw or salad even though it was on the menu. Very disappointed.

The Hitching Post is everything you’d want in a classic American diner! The food is delicious, with generous portions and all the comfort food favorites done right. The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home. The atmosphere is warm and nostalgic, perfect for a relaxed meal. Highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed!

Finally got to take my dog to Abbey cottage. So lovely to have the doggy area indoors now, and the food was fantastic as always. Was a busy day but still friendly service and very efficient.

We enjoyed an early dinner on Halloween. Lovely relaxing atmosphere, excellent customer service and superb food. Imaginitive vegetarian options, perfect sea bass and gorgeous steak pie. The sticky toffee pudding was the star of the show! We will definitely be back.

Didn't eat here. Just had a quick rest and a conforting cuppa tea. But the owner was super friendly and I think kindness deserves an award nowadays, so, On this notice a very positive review from me.

We had a lovely lunch hear the other day. The food was super fresh, tasty and there was plenty of it too. Maybe a little too much for some but there was the option for a smaller portion too. Not a lot of seating though.

Our second visit for an anniversary meal. Absolutely wonderful food, lovely restaurant and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Whilst staying nearby I googled a random pub lunch with the kids. The welcome by Craig was awesome, service perfect, interior interesting and immaculate and the food was just phenomenal. The kids food was home cooked and so cheap! Where I live I would have paid double the price for half the quality of smoked salmon fillet ciabatta. I just wish I lived closer!
