Chips(french fries) were too crunchy. Chicken tasted of char . Mushroom sauce didn't hit the spot. The Cajun chicken was better.Staff were nice and it's a fun place to visit.It was open late afternoon. Unlike a lot of other places in Aviemore.

Food was great the time I went. One person on shift that was very unimpressed looking..didnt crack a smile and made us feel pretty uncomfortable with the lack of 'friendliness'.Tried going last year in October and they were closed and same again this year. I think this is only a summer restaurant.Unfortunately won't be attempting to go again as let down twice, tried to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Great down to earth restaurant and bar with excellent service and yummy food in excellent portions. We had the chilli nachos to start between the 4 of us (massive portion), ,burgers for main and chocolate cake and ice-cream for dessert. All well presented and tasty at reasonable prices.

Incredible American-style ski chalet vibes. Service was quick and friendly despite managing the floor as a solo waitress! Beyond meat vegetarian burger was bland and over cooked. Standard beef burger was average. Very impressive selection of shots (50+) and bar downstairs was full of life! Would definitely recommend the bar.Vegetarian options: Limited vegetarian options (2-3) including 2x burger options and one pasta option. Unless you particularly want something specific on the menu, I would not recommend as a vegetarian.

The Skiing Doo represents a large milestone in my girlfriends life; first time eating Chicken Wings, which were amazing by the way. The staff went above and beyond to go the extra mile (shout out to our boy Hayden). As the Tenents and mad dog shots flowed I was encouraged by the good patrons of the Skiing Doo to jump up and play song for the open Mic Night, which we could not recommend more. Scottish hospitality and alcohol left a mark on hearts and souls, and we will be forever grateful to have passed through The Skiing Doo ❣️

Really disappointing. Kids were really looking forward to going. Burgers, steak and waffles what is not to like! Likely many places they are clearly short of staff and potentially have been in roles they are not really qualified for. But the ribeye steak was awful, wet and soggy and the sauce was inedible, while the pulled pork with the burgers was more like one lump of stewed pork with a BBQ sauce thrown on top. The toilets downstairs in the bar area were shocking. Really dirty with any ledges or surfaces covered in what looks like (sticky) dust. Hopefully an off night but so very disappointing.

Found the bar downstairs under the restaurant. Great wee bar that does “open Mike” nights. A hidden gem and I do mean hidden. Good selection of beers and helpful staff.

Pulled directions up on the site. Handwritten note on the door saying kitchen is closed until they can hire help. We drove a half hour to get here. Say something on the site!!!!!!! Very disappointed and hungry.

Little restaurant, a little hard to find. But if you can find it, what a treat. Cannot recommend enough, great macaroni and well worth a visit

We were told to expect a long wait when we arrived as the kitchen was short staffed. This was exactly what happened but having been notified in advance this wasn’t a problem at all. We just had a nice chat and drink to keep us going. The staff were very friendly and the music is superb. Worth going just for that! The food when it arrived was lush (for want of a better word) and tasty. Nice big portions and value for money was excellent. Three meals less than £50! Perfect. Will definitely be going for a second visit this week!
We found this place completely by accident, however it was a real hidden gem, the decor was fantastic, they had a great selection of food and drinks. The chilli cheeseburger was great and the chips were amazing. The staff were super friendly and allowed us to look around the areas underground. We will certainly be coming here every time we visit.

We had previously been many times to Ski-ing Doo and this visit did not disappoint. There were 5 adults in our party and we all enjoyed our meals and the service was great. Two of us had been many times but for the other 3 it was their first visit. They liked the novelty of the decor and the huge variety in the menu.
