I arrived at The Chippy Doon The Lane at the right time, around 5:45 p.m., on Tuesday 16 July 2019…read more The walk in to the entrance was through an alley between two buildings and had signage marking the restaurant was getting near, as I approached not another person did appear. The name of the restaurant was in sideways vertical lettering on the building face. Making my way in the entrance, a host greeted me and took me to an open table. The dinner rush at that time was small, and I looked over the menu. I went with fried haddock, hand-cut baked/fried chips, small white orbs of pickled onions, and tartar sauce. For my beverage I went with water with lemon in it. Prices were excellent (for example the pickled onions were less than one pound) and the servings were very large, I was happy I was hungry. The fish was perfectly flaky and fried to a golden perfection. The tartar sauce was thick and flavorful and the fries not too crispy nor soggy. They were especially good dipped in the tartar sauce. The restrooms were marked by gender - male and female. I felt more at home with those terms than I did the terms man and woman used back in the United States of America. Found it as a form of confidence builder as a female solo traveler that night. It was still light out when I left and I felt safe walking back out through the alley and to my hotel.

Food was lovely and I was so surprised it sold alcohol The service was amazing with lovely staff…read moreWas definitely made very welcome

The wine list is replete with moderately priced wines; honestly we would have been willing to pay more for a couple of even better alternatives, but I would not classify that as a complaint. Service was friendly and attentive and this restaurant is so eclectic and fun.

This was a higher rated local pub we tried and about a 12 minute walk from our Hilton. It was…read moreearly at 5:00pm and not busy. 3 of the 4 of us ordered the fish and chips (17.95 GBP) just to try another joint. The wife ordered their "Fisherman" which is pan seared Scottish coley or pollock (for 27 GBP). The battered fish with the chips was more delicately done here and delicious. As an aside I tried several times to find a place here in Glasgow or in Edinburgh that did a "special" fish and chips, that is breaded with crumbs and not battered, but apparently no one does that healthier old school preparation anymore (and I need to inform my old work colleague who hailed from Glasgow and gave me this inside tip that it's not practiced anymore). I also had a Chieftain IPA. The side of peas were dryish and not flavorful and small portioned and not done as well and tasty as I have had in London or Perth, just saying. We also had their sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert and that was good. The fries were mediocre. Server was friendly and attentive. 4 stars overall and a nice local flavor Glasgow outing.

With everywhere closing…read morefairly early out at Anniesland this is one of the few places that remains lively beyond dark - which is both good and bad. It can attract a few idiots who treat it as shelter as they await their train from Anniesland train station (right beside) but it means there is somewhere to go when you're craving some unhealthy fast food. My dad was always desperate to pop in when visiting my flat and did so on the day I moved out (his treat after I watched him carrying my stuff down three flights of stairs...I jest, I helped...with the light things). He raved about the fish and chips. I came once late at night, starving after a concert, and as the only sober person in there the guys working behind the counter struck up a convo with me. Their friendly chat and lovely service would be enough to make me return. A much-loved and needed chipp in the area.

Good, solid chippy which stocks all the usual fare at reasonable prices. It's particularly handy…read moregiven this is an area massively devoid of such eating out options, although it can be a tad annoying when people pop in en route to Anniesland train station and duly stink out the train with a fish supper. It's a minor gripe though and not enough to dilute the fact if it weren't for this Italian/Scottish eaterie you may well be forced to have something healthy as a late night snack.

There is limited seating but we got one of the few tables available. Seating was tight as one of the workers had to squeeze behind one of my friend's chair to get out from behind the counter. My fish and chips meal was excellent and a large portion. You pay extra for condiments like ketchup but vinegar is included if that is your preference. Someone suggested we tried their deep-fried Mars bar but we couldn't even finish our fish and chips so had to pass. It looked delicious though.

It would still be good, but it would be incomplete. This establishment is in the heart of the Merchant City neighborhood of Glasgow. It is found at the corner of High St. and Ingram St. They offer some great options. Fish and Chips and other seafood delights are the staple offerings but there are also other local favorites like Haggis, Scotch Pie, Sausage and Black Pudding. Add to those some more adventurous things like Fried Pizza as well as BBQ Ribs and Burgers, and there is something for most everyone. There is even a Halloumi Burger for non-carnivores. On the more unusual heart-attacky side, for dessert there is a Fried Mars Bar. A Strawberry Tart dessert is offered for those who want a more normal life expectancy. We visited this place on a Sunday night around 8 PM. It was an easy walk from our hotel. They were still doing a brisk business even an hour before closing. The atmosphere is cozy with three or four inside tables and an approximately equal number of little outdoor patio tables for those who prefer to be outside. The format is walk-up-and-order. The staff are quite efficient and pleasant enough to deal with. The food comes out quickly. We tried the 1-pc. Fish and Chips Haddock Supper along with the 1-pc. Cod. There were enough chips that we could split them. It's fair to say that we thoroughly enjoyed these classics. The rest of the good news is that the price tag for these was £23 all in. At £11.50 per person, this is a very good value for a simple, filling, classic meal. We would try this place again if we make it to Glasgow.
