The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in South West Scotland

The staff are friendly and really welcoming but the surroundings not so much. It's a huge space with not a lot filling it. It was cold on the few occasions I was in. The menu has enough to suit most tastes but it is really expensive for what you get. Unfortunately, the cost has put me off going back. In comparison to other cafes in Hamilton, Macs is very overpriced.

My partner and I stopped here for lunch with our 2 year old son today. My partner joined the queue to place our order while I took our little boy to find a seat as we had been on our feet all morning and he was getting tired, hungry and a little grumpy. A woman stopped us with a shout across the cafe and told us we were not able to take a seat until we had been served at the counter. I explained that my partner was waiting in the queue to place our order while we selected a table. This was not sufficient to allow us a seat however. The red haired waitress who repeatedly called me darling while carrying on a public argument with me was determined that my tired little boy be denied a seat while we waited for lunch. I thought this was an unusual way to treat customers but when we were eventually allowed to sit down, I overheard the same woman subject two other customers to similar treatment so I assume this is standard procedure in this cafe. We will not be back.

Every time I go here, the staff are all talking behind the counter when there is plenty to do, the tables always need cleared, and as usual I had to ask someone to clean our table before our coffees were made. Better service in Costa! Won’t be back!

We were let down for breakfast by our hotel and came on a breakfast hunt and oh what a find. Quiet but pleasant, lovely food and staff who are friendly and helpful. ( Two young guy's). Thanks it was lovely,.

Went with friends for dinner service was excellent very friendly staff the friendliest staff I've cam across in a spoons food was served quick and hot will deffo be back

Had lunch here on a quiet Wednesday afternoon. Sits on a busy corner of the main street but once inside it opens into a bar area and good restaurant area and garden overlooking the river( and boatyard). Menu has a good selection of classic pub food. Took a little time for our meal to arrive but as is was freshly made this was not a problem. The boatyard burger was one of the best burgers I have had in years and my wife was delighted with the chicken pie with mash and fresh veg. The chef knows how to cook!! If you are in Girvan this place is worth a visit for the food and the view.

Pure dive with the rudest staff. Went as a one off out of pure necessity but will never be back. Ordered at the drive through and basically had my drink thrown at me with just "£3.75" sticking a card reader into my face and nothing else. Manners cost absolutely nothing. Terrible place.

once, twice, more than thrice, these clowns manage to F up orders. last 3 orders, half the order missing? Why? inability to move beyond the first number they see and assume that's the quantum (for the dumb Costa staff - this means number) of items. Instead, the quantum is noted as 2@, 3@ etc. Or a little bit of common sense. Look at the cost and think, does one coffee cost £19? Absolute morons. A shame when serving coffee is a competency step too far.

Went for a meal looked lovely small eating place. Will never be back. Waited 30 minutes for fish chips. Told cooked fresh so thought the wait would be ok. When put down I thought it was a starter 1/2 fish 2 small pieces of lettuce and a cherry tomato cut in half. A wire basket of chips. Fish overcooked couldn't even taste fish. Avoid this place. Even school meals were better. Never be back all I can say is go to fish and chip shop pay less and enjoy Rotten school out if 10 would be 0

Visited here for breakfast and ordered all day breakfast with tea included and bacon roll with tea paid for separate. When ordering and then paid, I asked if we could have our teas along with food only to be declined, and hot tea served right away. SO MUCH FOR CUSTOMER CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Their feeble excuse was it caused queues??!! So waited around 15 minutes for food albeit our tea was drank or would be stone cold. Possibly tactic for people to buy more tea, but as a customer we should have a choice whither we have hot drinks prior to food or with food. This is also dictatorship, and also there is no table service. Staff were pleasant enough and food ok but sorry won`t be back until they give customers the right to choice. Liz and Gordy

2 coffee and a scone to share with butter jam and cream was £10.50. I recall this was much more than our last visit to this cafe but a nice place.

My Work Colleague and I both got the Macaroni & Chips out of here today and it was probably the most disgusting thing we've both tasted since...well...forever. The chips tasted like reheated Microwave Chips and the Macaroni itself was almost beyond description, like some kind of weird synthetic tasting yellow goo. Honestly, their Macaroni tastes like an experiment gone horribly wrong and I'm gutted that we wasted £9 and 20 minutes of our lives going to collect cartons of hot crap. Suffice to say my Work colleagues and I won't be eating from here again.

The food is consistently fantastic for the Sunday carvery. Kids are always kept amused with the soft play area. The staff are fantastic - very personable whilst staying professional. I recommend booking ahead.

Travelled up from Manchester to meet family before the football. They allowed me entry, allowed me to buy drinks then told me I had to find a table or leave… Was then thrown out with no refund for the drink I’d just paid for. Usually use this as the main meeting place with family and friends pre-match but won’t be back!
