    Let me preface this review by saying I'm American and I love heavy Scottish food... Ok, now we can continue! I came here for a late lunch/early supper. I was starving from walking around town all day. I had been in the UK for over a week and still hadn't had my beloved fish'n'chips. My sister and I decided to swing in here and see if we could track some down. We were in luck! We had gotten in right before the happy hour crowd and had fantastic service from the staff there. The bartender remembered us from a few days prior when we came in for drinks, which was nice, and he had our round out before I had my coat off. I had the fish'n'chips and my sister had the mac'n'cheese, both came out piping hot and were delicous. The portions were overwhelming, we couldn't finish our meals. Next time I think we'll order something and split it. Decent prices and great food!

    Chicken breast stuffed with haggis and Mediterranean haddock. Both delish!

    Rather big place also a pub with as they say and I believe it, the best food in town. It was pointed out to us by the girl from Starbucks. The service is great. I had chicken breast filled with haggis and a tasty creamy sauce. Jur had haddock Meditarenian style. Huge portions, with new potatoes. If you ever want to visit Dumfries, go here.

    Globe Inn - Our lovely bartender!

    This was Robert Burns' "howff," or, his favorite local pub. In fact, he allegedly scratched verses…read morein the windows with a diamond and had an illegitimate child with the barmaid. Thus, for historical value, I had to check it out, but I only stayed for one drink because I did not find it particularly friendly. I have found that dichotomy across Britain (but not Ireland): pubs in large cities welcome everyone, perhaps because of the cosmopolitan nature of a city; in the small towns, where there are probably fewer tourists and more local regulars, I often get a very icy vibe from both patrons and staff. Too bad. I paid 2 for a Tennett's Velvet, a great price for a quality beer.

    Sorry to hear about David R.'s experience at the Globe, I found the staff to be very friendly…read more However, my grandmother and aunts and uncles live in Dumfries so I did come in with locals (I'm American, so I stuck out!). My family and I came to the Globe Inn for some after supper drinks. I had never seen the Robbie Burns' paraphenalia in the other parts of the Inn and my uncle asked the bartender if she would show us around. The lady was more than happy to open it up for us and show us the other rooms. I got to take some cool pictures with my family in the backrooms of the Inn. After the unplanned tour we had about 3 more rounds and then headed to another pub. I'm not sure when the other parts of the Inn are open regularly with the Robbie Burns memorabilia, but it was pretty interesting if you're fan of his. Definitely made this place above average.
