Staff were very helpful and friendly and very busy, especially the big ginger glass collecter.

Visited with wife for breakfast today. It was reasonably busy, and we struggled to find a clean table to sit at. Order through the App which was reasonably simple & painless. Food came out within 10 minutes which was pleasing. Small Scottish breakfast for me with added haggis. Beans had been heated more times than the earth. Tattie scone overcooked, haggis lukewarm as was the egg. Bacon was okay and the black pudding could have smashed windows. Ordered a coffee/hot chocolate on App, which when hot chocolate was dispensed from the machine was hot milk with sprinkles on top. Took it to the bar to ask for another mug so I could try another machine. Server was abrupt and rude, stating both machines weren’t working right so I couldn’t have one. ‘What ye wantin’ instead?” With a torn faced look wasn’t the best response either. I politely declined an alternative as I had also ordered an apple juice. No refund offered. Might it have been an idea for the other server to tell people when dropping mugs at the table that the hot chocolate wasn’t working? They were clearly aware of it. Wetherspoons usually do a much better job as a chain but this was really below par.

If you're looking for a no frills breakfast, this is the place.Food is good for what you pay.Refill coffee is a bonus and tastes good.All for more than half of other places

First visit on a CAMRA outing. Pleasant atmosphere and busy for a Saturday. Real Ale very much available. Had the Midnight Sun and the Birds and Bees, both well worth it. Meal was of good standard. Those into high expectations on food no doubt wouldn't find it appealing ( my partner for one), but for me it's good meals.

Was in Weatherspoons on wednesdayand had the small fish and chips with peas. The fish was ok taste wise but if it was much smaller it would be a fish finger. The tea was so weak you would have to put more than one tea bag in the cup. Had seen a review on weatherspoons pubs in england and the small fish that was ordered was a lot bigger than mine. Perhaps you get a better deal in england. aFor much the same price (£7) Morrisons supermarket diner would give you a better meal and i hate saying that. I did have a free drink with the fish meal but indirectly i paid for my pint. Morrisons give you a larger supper but no pint.

Good food good service and good value for money as you would expect from wetherspoons. However the atmosphere is flat . Music would go a long way especially in the evenings.

Staff are horrible so unhelpful. An the food has went down hill. Only good thing about the place is its drink menu.

Had our evening dinner here having only arrived earlier that day,it being Monday it was fairly quiet. The meals we had were excellent and the service was excellent.Wheelchair accessibility: It had no step to negotiate if you went in by the entrance at the rear of the establishment

It is what it is.Gutted to see no bao buns on the menu but Irvine have them!Food is fine, service is fine and quick, tables get cleared regularly. It's an average wetherspoons.

A group of 7 went to Wetherspoons Kilmarnock for dinner on a Sunday evening. The food was good, everyone enjoyed their meal, extremely unusual for 7 people to enjoy their meal and no complaints! There is a good selection of vegetarian food, very rare in any eateries! I suggest the macaroni cheese and chips for vegetarians as it’s always good. Although the Mediterranean salad is good as well and I think it’s also suitable for Vegans. You don’t have to wait ages for the food to arrive, unlike some places, where It takes so long you just feel like going home and getting a takeaway! The staff are always pleasant. The tables are not squashed up to each other , a big bonus. The prices are very good as well, what’s not to like? I go in for lunch quite often and I can recommend wholeheartedly.

I only go to the brig to meet friends and have a drink I have seen the meals coming out and they look good and it is always busy the only thing is that sometimes you have to que but nobody seems to know were the que starts so sometimes I can be a pain in the arse

This was my first visit here, and I will definitely be going back. It's a very good-sized place and really well kept. Even the outside smoking area was clean and tidy. It's has a very comfortable atmosphere and you feel welcome on arrival. Ordering food was quick and easy. It came out in almost no time at all. Very fresh, hot, and tasty. The cost for 2 of us to eat and have a drink was less than £15. Quality!! Highly recommend ?
