We were hungry and just from the name and branding, we decided to take a shot on the idea that anything suggesting a barn full of livestock would likely provide a filling meal. We were not disappointed. We were asked if we had a reservation, which we didn't, but we were still able to get a table near the bar area around 5:30pm without a wait. Service was very attentive and friendly, even as the room began to fill up. I went for the Steak & Ale Pie and the husband went for a T-bone style Steak. Both were cooked perfectly and just flavorful enough while leaving a little room to add more salt or pepper for our own tastes. As an American, I of course had to have ketchup with my chips, and laughed at the big red tomato bottle they brought to the table as I shamelessly doused my fried potatoes in ketchup. We didn't find a less expensive or more satisfying meal along our travels after that- but we were so full after our meal at Stables- we couldn't have even tried one if we'd found it.

Highlight for me was the haddock and chips with the mushy peas, Best fish and chips I've had in a while primarily because they had it was cooked in such away wasn't greasy and the mushy peas were actual real piece that were slightly mashed and nicely seasoned and tasted of peas. I tried my wife's grass fed steak and It was top notch . This together with the seasonal vegetables was well received. Kids had desserts at the end, all in all a great family restaurant and very nice service. A must for those wanting a slightly higher end dining experience after a long hike during the day.

I decided to keep it simple and go for the Texan burger - a 6oz burger with maple bacon, onion rings, pickles and cheese. As always, the offer of salad was dismissed in a Ron Swansonesque manner. I received a fresh cooked, plentiful burger packed with flavour in a timely manner and a bystander to some good old fashioned political debate from some locals while I waited. This little place has a big character and I'll be sure to pop in whenever I'm in the area.

Terrific new neighbourhood pub tucked away in an historic stone walled candlelit basement. The…read morenewly opened Smoking Goat bar has been totally remodelled and the result is impressive. If you remember the much missed Fouters Bistro you won't recognise the place now! The Smoking Goat is primarily a traditional pub with cosy nooks and crannies, real ales on tap and in bottles, and a great wee bar menu. The lunchtime options feature rare breed beef burger, venison sausage sandwich, pulled pork slider, smoked haddock fishcake, black pudding scotch egg with whisky mustard and more - all pretty imaginative stuff for this part of the world! Vegetarians are valued customers and it was a rare treat to find myself swithering over the menu. I narrowed things down to the red pepper falafel or the jerk spiced portobello mushroom burger with pineapple salsa. I went with the latter and it didn't disappoint, though I could have done with a few more of their lovely crisp fries on the side. Yay for free wifi without a password. I found it impossible to get a data signal down there so it came in handy. Customer-wise this is a good spot for socialising as well as dining. There are events going on throughout the week including pub quizzes and they have a pull down screen which I think they are showing the 6 nations rugby on, though this is not a 'sports bar' and there are no TVs. This is just a personal opinion, but I'd love to see the music turned down a wee notch to make conversation easier, and the lighting turned up a wee notch so the menu can be more easily read. Despite all the hard stone surfaces the acoustics were excellent. I can see this being a good venue for the occasional intimate music gig. Recommended!

The place was great. The rough guy behind the bar may or may not be one of those guys hired to throw fighting drunkards out onto the street, but if so, he was a friendly rough guy who could recommend the right beer along with the outstanding onion rings with a smile on his face and a description of their ingredients and preparation that was straight from a chef's school's creative menu-writing class by way of a genuine love for the establishment's own big circular fried veggies. Our waitress was a engaging, beautiful, well-rounded and very cheerful Sco'ish woman with equal enthusiasm for the burgers and beers on tap. Good service, all y'all! The beer recommended for my wife was a Czech Pilsner draft, Krusovice, a mass-market offering from Heineken that's tasty, if not very challenging. She said it was meh - but she was on the way to finishing the whole pint when I expressed surprise that she'd gone through more than a third of the glass, her usual place to stop. Either she liked it more than she let on, or the day's exertions led to a need for extra alcohol. Mine was a more-local-er IPA that I don't have the name of because I've been counting on the name being on the receipt and it isn't. Darn, because it was tasty and went well with the food and you should get that. So why should an American get a burger in Paisley, UK? I dunno. We were here to join an organized tour of northern Scotland, where we were promised all the Scottish food we cared to mange for the next week, and didn't really want to go overboard; plus, we'd been in Edinburgh the previous few days, and tried some of the local versions of lots of kinds of foods, so just wanted a quick somewhat-familiar bite as a respite. It was the right thing for us. Somewhat familiar, anyway. The burger was delicious, but ground a little differently, so not quite the same texture. It was singed on the crust (mmmm!) but cooked to medium-doneness in the inside (mmmm!). The roll was a beautiful, shiny egg-white-finished thing with excellent texture and an actual flavor of its own. We each got slightly different toppings; even though they had familiar American names, the outcome was just a little different - and seriously yummy. Get a hamburger or a cheeseburger! The fries were potato-y, perfectly done and very tasty. Skins on, peppered as well as salted, yum, get those. My onion rings were among the best I've ever tried, due to the wonderful beer batter. The sauce was OK, not great. Which brings us to ketchup. Heinz ketchup in the UK is just a little different from American Heinz. UK palates apparently appreciate a condiment that's slightly sweeter, with maybe a hind of cinnamon and maybe cardamom. I like it, but it's kind of a funny thing. Your tongue may expect one thing, but since it gets another, there may be some cognitive dissonance going on. Don't let your brain tilt to the "it ain't right" side! No! Gently, mindfully, pull it over to "Mmmmmm, this is good." Because it is. This isn't an American burger joint. It's a Paisley American burger joint. Dude, you're in Scotland. Enjoy it, it's good. Go there. BTW, the taxi stand is a few steps across the square next to the train station. It's about 5 - 6 pounds to the airport Holiday Inn, one pound cheaper than our Uber ride coming in - and the Uber driver was an asshole who gave us a lousy review, preventing us from getting the return trip. Whatever, dude. Sorry you're bitter that you lost your business, but might it be due to your attitude?

You see, I've found it ridiculously hard to find a chilli cheese dog in Glasgow that has blown me away. The chilli is too hot or not hot enough, the cheese isn't melted or there just isn't enough of it, the hot dog is of a pretty poor quality... the list goes on. Finally my quest is over. Burger7 have been crowned my hot dog knights in shiny tin-foil armour. Burger7 have been on mine and Craig S's "Top 5 to Try" list for a wee while now so when the mood struck us for some USA dining we decided to take a wee drive out. I found a local postcode and placed a justeat collection order so it would be ready for us arriving. (I won't go into the saga that we thought we were ordering from the Coatbridge restaurant and ended up ordering from the Airdrie restaurant by accident!) I had ordered my chilli cheese dog, some gravy fries and a side of mac and cheese (always!!!) and couldn't wait to tuck in when we got home. First, the gravy fries. It is not your average chips and gravy. The gravy was thin, homemade and sweet, with a tomato-y tang to it. It tasted delicious and went well with the perfectly cooked fries. The portion was absolutely huge too so I was quite happy to share when my little one and hubby decided they wanted to try them too. The mac and cheese was really creamy and well seasoned, with a lovely hint of sharpness. I'm crazy about mac and cheese and this was some pretty good mac. The portion size was just about right, but again my wee one had decided that this looked pretty tasty too and helped me eat it. Now, I know you want to hear about that hot dog. As it was foil wrapped for our journey home it was a mess... a beautiful one at that. The bratwurst was juicy and flavoursome without being watery or greasy. It was also huge and outsized it's bun. The chilli wasn't too chunky, had a nice kick of heat to it without being overpowering. And it was just covered in melty sharp cheese. Everything tasted great on its own. Together, it was pure bliss. I've been searching high and low for that hot dog and now I've found it you can guarantee it'll be a regular part of my life now.
