The place was packed when we got there for lunch, but it didn't at all affect the service or quality of the food. Our table of 5 all enjoyed their meals - great portion sizes too!Dietary restrictions: I have allergies that they accommodated really easily.Kid-friendliness: We took our 10month old and they were all really accomodating and friendly with her which was nice to see.

Always visit when up staying with my parents. It's a highlight of my stay. Lovely staff that are always up for a news. Always busy and would definitely recommend booking. Food fantastic and all the family go away vowing they don't need to eat for a week. Favourite eatery in Ellon.

My battered fish was lovely and had that creamy quality you get when it has been cooked perfectly. My wife enjoyed a lasagne.
Vicki Kelso
Beautiful food and friendly staff.

This place was heaving on a Wednesday evening, probably because there are so very few places in Scotland to eat out? Menu reads well with some interesting options. Service was good. The ubiquitous Haggis Bonbons were OK but weirdly sat on an Asian-Flavoured slaw of some sort, Steak Stroganoff with rice was creamy & pleasant, but Crispy Chicken stir-fry was so overloaded with (bottled?) sweet & sour sauce that it was almost inedible. Perhaps stick to standard dishes if you eat here?

Fillet steak cooked to perfection, all the staff were very efficient and helpful had a most enjoyable evening. Car parking available with numbered exit from staff very well organised

Lovely dinner. Hubby has the steak tagliatelle, which he couldn't finish (generous portion) and I had the steak pie which was lovely. I actually couldn't finish it either and took some of the beef home (my cat wolfed it down so it must've been good as he is very fussy!!!) Def will be back and get the steak pie again!

Service excellent as usual, food was very nice, bit noisy as there was a 21st birthday celebration lunch on the Thursday we were there.

I love that they have a full vegan menu, makes such a difference when eating out locally. Food is good, overall the place is really affordable and staff are all really friendly. Only downside is that it's a popular place and can get a bit noisy when having a conversation over dinner, a minor inconvenience really!Dietary restrictions: Full vegan menu, gluten free also catered for.
Have eaten here several times now. Food is excellent with a wide choice on the menu. Homely, warm feel inside. Excellent service and the staff are 5*. Free car parking at the rear of the restaurant. There are very few decent quality eating places since The View closed in Newburgh. This is one of the best.

Very reasonably priced food and great service. Would definitely visit again.

I always love the service here. I felt very special as the waiter was courteous and made such an effort to ensure we knew he would serve us shortly and, most importantly, he did.Parking: They have their own car park and disabled bays.

Another great old eating place from my past. Very enjoyable lunch, excellent steak and ale pie. Wonderful service and attention from the staff, one even said she recognised me even though I'd left the NE 40 years ago. Well worth a visit for anyone looking for an eatery on the road. Highly recommended.

Nice wee restaurant in Ellon, lovely lunch in the Cornkist, Honey Chilli Stirfry was a treat and Sticky Toffee Pudding, rich, moist, gooey and very moreish, staff attentive and friendly, would recommend, 5*****
