I thought I had found the best takeaway in Ayr the last time I visited this place…read more Wow - was I wrong. Don't misunderstand me. The Lucky Star is a stunning Fish and Chips takeaway but the Eighty 8 is dishing out a level of quality I have not seen for a while. The Lucky Star is also a mighty trek from the city centre and I had to catch a train. First off a disclaimer. I found this place after being at the Ayrshire Whisky Festival. So, was I slightly pissed? Oh Yes. But despite this, I will share my opinion. I am a pain in the butt when it comes to Chinese Food. I like particular dishes. Always have. I always order Singapore Rice Vermicelli. It is really a melange of cuisine with Rice Noodles, Curry, Seafood, CharSui Pork and Chinese Vegetables. Most places cannot make it. They screw it up. Noodles are too thick, the pork is wrong, they mess up the spices, etc etc. The Eighty 8 pulled it off perfectly. Great heat, enough curry, great mix of ingredients. Wow. Too bad it is in bloody Ayr or I would be back - a lot. So, get yourself down here. I would phone ahead or you will have a 30 minute wait ahead of you. The fact that they takes longer usually means the staff uses fresher ingredients. I am always suspicious of places that can churn out a dish in under 4 minutes. It makes me think that some corners are cut and some things are pre-made and microwaved. The dishes from the Eighty 8 hit a bar that I have not seen reached for a very long time. Congrats.

I talk about this Subway when I recount the differences between the UK and USA. The sandwiches are…read morethe same great Subway you get anywhere...even down to the condiments, which is what makes it so awesome. I'm an American who lived in Ayr and sorely missed ranch dressing. You cannot find it anywhere in Scotland except at Subway! I lamented this problem to the Subway employees who weren't overly impressed with my ranch dressing cravings, but would give me extra ranch in a soda cup anyway. Just in case you're wondering, I do not carry ranch dressing in my purse, but if I ever moved back to the UK, I would definitely bring a supply.

Usually not bad as Subways go. Staff are mostly friendly, particularly on the late nights…read more(suprising!). Perhaps a bit grubbier than it should be but it has been well-used. Seems to have a pretty high staff turnover these days, which doesn't always say much for a place. Not been in the area for a while, things could have changed. Tiny, tiny store and terribly warm in the summer.

Again, what do you expect in a review of McDs? They stock the whole McDonalds portfolio. I know…read morethat a lot of people used to go to McDonalds because there is nothing much else to do in Ayr. Especially those who had just past their driving test. Same old, same old. This one is normally quite clean though - to give it it's dues. It's recently had a refurb as I see that McDonalds is trying to go for the whole cafe culture thing - I just don't see that working in Ayr but what can you do?

Well located in the retail park in Ayr. Very easy to find. Always busy, Fast and friendly service…read more Usually it is quite clean. Has all the usual things you would expect to find at McDonalds. And as always all at reasonable prices. The layout is more or less the same as every other McDonalds restraunt in the uk. There is also a drive thru which comes in handy if you are in a hurry or just dont want to move from the comfort of your wheels. They quite often has special or limited burgers on offer wether it be a special chicken burger for 99p or a limited edition mcflurry.. You're sure to find a meal to suit even the most stubbon people in here.

What do you expect? It is Dominos, like you get in every other town. Reasonable service, quick but…read moreexpensive - only order from here if you are after a treat. Best to order with friends to take advantage of the discounts. They do deals where you canbuy three pizzas for a set price - normally cheaper than buying just one pizza. As far as I can remember, Dominos in Ayr offered quick and friendly service. It was quite near pizza hut though so it wasa personal preference what you decided to go for in the end.

This is my favorite chinese takeaway in all of ayrshire. It is a little more expensive than other…read morechinese takeaways but it is well worth it. The beef curry and chips is the best. they don't however provide the free bag of prawn crackers any more but i now buy these as they are also very good. We have a varried taste for food in my family (some like it hotter thn others ) but we all love the curries from here. The ribs here are also to die for. It has a very good choice of different meals on the menus for both meat and non meat meals. It is open most nights except tuesdays but it is not open at lunch times ( i wish they were open lunch times).

You're not usually kept waiting very long if you go in to pick up your order and there's a tv and some goldfish to look at while you're there Kung po king prawn is really good from here. Not too expensive and you get the bigger size of tin foil tray.

All of which are home made. It has a nice cosy environment thanks to the way in which the cafe is set up. You can also sit at the window and do a bit of people watching.

The truffles are soft and squishy - something I've never managed to replicate - and they also do a great rocky road.
