The queue at Armando's - ma favorite time tae hide fae ma troubles and squeeze in the line. Shout oot 'wan fish supper' - fan oot ma cash then keek roon this auld school memory stash. Gless bottles o Limeade an Barr's Irn-Bru The cigarette case (wi fags hidden noo). Armando's hauns chip at the order mountain and baptise his treats in his Trevi Fountain. The staff stay dead calm though the queue runs for miles as they serve salt an sauce wi slow-fading smiles. The food's cooked sae fresh it's nae bother tae wait in deep-fried Dunfermline ye're at heaven's gate. The punters are ayways a moveable feast wi stories tae tell ye the maist or the least. A quiet man whoops Hoops when they win the Old Firm says next door's Union Jack really makes him squirm. As a Mexican couple across on a whim waft right up the road fae the Holiday Inn a weathered auld worthy laughs 'that wis a peach: plenty mushies there under the copper beech'. Insiders pop heids in - haloed by the sun and grab somethin tasty tae munch on the run. Ma order is ready - I shuffle ma feet but turn at the door cos I feel bitter-sweet. The fish smells amazing - I'm no bein rude it's just that I'm no really here for the food. Although it's cash only I come tae spend time and blend in wi aw human life in the line. When ye just need a breather, this is the place tae abandon the rats and drap oot the race. The world spins and skelters so STOP - look aroon in the queue at Armando's - yer cue tae SLOW DOON.

The food I have to say is amazing, however it's the rest that let's it down, we were asked to come in half hour earlier than our booking, ...ok fair enough but we were not seated until 40 minutes after arrival, what was the point in asking us to come in early , then the table wasn't ready , they don't serve any form of cider so we had a bottle of red wine which we waited for ever for, it also took forever to be asked what we wanted to eat, given everything is cooked to order that bit didn't take to long and was absolutely amazing, they also add a service charge which they don't tell you about and it's not advertised anywhere, so to sum up the food is amazing but front of house let this place down otherwise it would have had five stars

Visited on a Saturday afternoon 31st August. Ice cream was nice, however the milkshakes need work. I'd expect a milkshake to be thick and the straw to initially stand up in the shake, however what we were given was effectively strawberry flavoured milk. My daughter who had one too was also disappointed.
