Lovely place to eat. Got recommended to come here by the staff at Keepsake in Ayr. Very dog friendly, both dogs had some chicken from the staff which they wolfed down. Lentil soup was tasty and chunky. Jacket potatoes had plenty of filling in it. I would recommend this.

From the outside doesn't look very much, however once inside you could tell it's a local favourite it was busy. Starters were stand your spoon up potato and leek with proper chunks of potato. Main course was baked potato with steak mince. Again great food traditional steak mince in a tasty thick gravy. Forget Subway, KFC and McDonald's, this was traditional good Scottish stick to your ribs food, perfect for a cold breezy day. Happy to return anytime in Ayr.

Food was nice enough, although maybe verging on the expensive side. Staff could be doing with some training on customer service…..sullen and uninterested youngsters. Think it’s the first time I’ve ever been served with neither a word nor response from the waiting staff. Wasn’t even acknowledged when I said thanks as I left. Rude!!

1st and last! Two women viewing a full wedding video, loud, and the staff refused to address it. When I told the waitress I was going to have a dessert but not with that noise, she just said "mmm" and obviously couldn't careless.Food was OK, service, put it this way no tip was given and atmosphere was ruined by staff afraid to challenge. Not my venue, so I hoped the staff would have done their jobs.Seriously hopeless and paid £32 for the privilege!

Noticed the prices have gone up this is understandable. I can’t fault the food and service. I was charged £6.50 for a pot of tea (2 tea bags) + a jug of hot water . I asked the waitress and she said it was correct and just to confirm I phoned the next day and was told it £2 for a cup of tea or £6.50 for a pot for 2 people. I certainly wouldn’t go back with those prices.
Found this place last year on my Scottish holiday and up in these parts again . I can honestly say that this is best Scottish breakfast I have come across, the absolute business. Very friendly proprietor and staff. A little gem of a place.
