Had a really tasty lunch both days last weekend in Fat Jacks. Myself and my partner had soup and toasties. The owner was very friendly and accommodating regarding a booking for his nearby resturant also . Food was wholesome , tasty and reasonable prices.Decor was very unique and had a homely feel to it - loving the sofas mixed with retro feel furniture . An eclectic little find . Definitely return on our next trip to Callander . ?

Avoid this place, over priced not value for money. Coffee, tea and 2 basic toasties £20.90. Staff looked as if they couldn’t be bothered, not even a good afternoon when walking in. Again avoid this place.

I had a coffee and cake here a couple of days ago, and was outstanding. I met the new owner at the door, and he was a great bloke to chat with. I can already see he means business and is putting his all into the shop.I stopped here during my Rob Roy Way hike. Perfect in all ways.

Delicious brownie and gluten-free apple and cinnamon cake with best peppermint tea I’ve tasted. Coffee excellent also my husband said. Please note under new management and only been open 3 days, but already popular and full!

Great little cafe, just taken over by new owners. Spoke to the guy who had bought it and obviously has a lot of passion to make a good cafe. Great hot chocolate and cake!!

Was in yesterday, 2nd time in a week. Last week it was busy this week we were the only people in. Ordered 4 toasties , 3 coffees and a bottle of juice. It was £50 exactly, I thought it was a bit expensive but the because the food was good last week I didn't question it. It then turned out I had been over charged. Firstly I was asked if I was ok with a cash refund and then I was told it had been put back on my card. I checked this morning and the money going out is gone but no sign of the refund. Tried calling the number on Google and Facebook but it is unavailable. Overall a bad experience compared to the first time I was in . I travelled 45 miles for this service and was not impressed. I wonder if anyone will get back to me ?

Looks great from outside, food terrible ended up having a roast beef roll, you can see by photo not looking to good, the toilet were in a terrible state, needless to say didn't use. Won't be back.

I went there for coffee and they didn't have mugs although I had the coffee inside the place and when I asked if the carrot muffin had nuts they couldn't tell me if they had. I have a strong allergy to nuts and I would expect a minimum of knowing the allergens of the food you sell.

Very miserable staff!!! ..... Paid for food and it now comes up as sq retrophenia!!!...Why not fatjacks!!
Went to Callander for the day and stopped here for a light lunch. It was quite late in lunch terms and there was not a lot left. Understandable if they were not getting the customers and not wasting food. Had a sandwich and a sausage roll and drinks which was quite nice.

Stopped in for a cake and coffee and watched the world go by from the window seats after walking the crags above Callander - nice spot! Like the stone detailing in the bathroom too!

Food lovely, soup + burger. Milkshakes not worth £5 more taste of milk than chocolate. Staff where great. Fast service also

Called here for a quick coffee break while visiting Callandar. Staff were friendly and I really liked the decoration and varied seating arrangements, even down to the style of the bathroom wash basin. The coffee was good, but I would have preferred a proper coffee mug rather than a disposable cup.

We’d spotted what is now called Fat Jack’s while wandering down the street and thought it looked a nice place for a coffee. When we walked in, there was nobody there. Literally no-one. No customers. No staff. We stood for a few minutes talking to ourselves, before I went back outside to give the bell on the door a ring. Still nothing. We thought we could hear someone moving around in the back so we shouted. Eventually a member of staff emerged - no apology, not even a smile. Ordered a coffee and a soft drink, but still no smile. The place looks great, with its steampunk style interior and its quirky toilet plumbing. Maybe they were short-staffed, or she was having an off-day. I don’t know. But it was a real shame that we weren’t made to feel more welcome.
