We booked last minute for Saturday lunchtime and arrived early. The host was welcoming and we were able to go to our table straight away. My youngest daughter ordered off the kids menu and enjoyed her beef burger with a generous portion of fries. I had the chicken Honey Shot which was amazing! The chicken was tender with a crispy coating, I loved the combo of honey, chilli and blue cheese dressing. My teenage daughter had the Swiss Tony and refused to share and finished it all. The portion of fries was generous which is something their competitors could learn from! A cheeky portion of onion rings on the side were very nice, crispy batter. Our first visit but hopefully not our last. Highly recommend.

The food was amazing. I had the wild bill and my wife had the Great White Buffalo. It was one of the best burgers in Glasgow. Good value for money as they are big. The staff are very nice as well. Very friendly. My only issue is it served on a tray and when I was trying to cut my burger my tray wouldn't stay still on the table. But that me being picky. I would definitely recommend.
