Everything was really good, although the sauce made the bun too soggy to pick up, so I had to eat it with a knife and fork (which is a bit of a shame..).

Thanks to it being Sunday, street parking outside was free which is an added bonus. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I asked for my usual Chai but unfortunately they don't have it...yet! But I was advised to try the London Fog. Earl grey tea with honey and foamy milk, mmmm, very tasty! My friend got jealous so ordered one too. For food I had stacked pancakes and bacon. The only way these could have been better is by having streaky bacon rather than British bacon, but still tasty. I love that they hit brought the jug of maple syrup to the table, usually you have to beg borrow and steal at places to get more! Ben got a side of macaroni cheese because, why not. And he enjoyed it thoroughly, just the right amount of creaminess to the cheese. Very reasonably priced, great food, lovely staff. It's such a quaint little place, try it if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed!

Drinks order was wrong, no bug issue although I felt awkward when I was asked of I could still drink it while being watched, and it was not nice. Secondly the food wasn't that great, it was nice but I wasn't blown away. I got the lamb which wasn't a lot with small bits of potato and veg. The goats cheese bon bons are delicious though. The biggest thing that made it bad was that it was freezing, I had to wear my scarf and my hand and face were cold. My husband who usually doesn't complain was not happy at how cold it was sitting having dinner. It was clear we looked cold but no one even asked us. When we left which was quicker than normal we noticed a second section, at the opposite side of the front door which had a log fire. People having dinner in the warmest part of the restaurant. Not a good start or end!! I have recommended this place to so many people after our first visit but I am not that impressed anymore.

We decided on here for our Sunday dog-friendly lunch destination and were really chuffed with it…read more Lebowski's is very dog-friendly - as soon as we arrived, they brought over a bowl for Joffrey and all the staff were really nice and welcoming to him which was good! When we were there, they seemed to be only doing a brunch menu which was a shame as I actually didn't feel like brunch but I went with the veggie breakfast (no beans) all the same. The brunch menu is pretty standard - full breakfast, veggie option, pancake stack or eggs florentine/benedict. They have gluten free options as well which was good to see. Food didn't take long to arrive and the veggie breakfast was good - nothing ground breaking, but a good selection for £8.95. Most interesting was the falafel which was really nice. The menu said there was a rosti but I didn't seem to get that which I only just realised writing this review! All up, I was really pleased with this brunch spot in terms of the dog-friendliness and how relaxing it was for us. We'll definitely be back.

I genuinely struggled to believe it was the same place. This could be a serious competitor to…read moreBungo, the music venue part is now a kitchen and dining area, and the old, dark bar is now bright and modern,...and it serves West Hefeweizen! We opted for the burgers, it is after all what Lebowski's are famous for, they're not particularly cheap and you pay for extra toppings, but they come with a choice of skinny fries or tats (sic). They were very friendly, I even got a tour, and were very generous to our party. The service in general was good too. I really liked my burger even though I'd only elected to have a smoked Applewood cheese slice on it augmented by ketchup from the table. The bun stayed together, the juicy burger stayed together, and the meat was of good quality and nicely seasoned. What more can you ask for from a patty? The skinny fries were as good as any too. So why is it not five stars? Well, a couple of other people commented their burger was a little too dry, so taking that into account a four.

It was my…read morebirthday and my sista from another mista Angela B. and I do like to have a wee day out for our birthdays as we are a week apart. I thought visiting the Southside for a wee change. It's somewhere I wouldn't normally go but Angela had been before and new some good places to visit including The Glad Café. We opted for a brunch and I had my favourite dish French Toast, bacon and maple syrup. Yum! I had a cheeky mocha and it just complicated my delicious mound of food goodness on my plate. The place was always constantly busy and it was like a tardis and much bigger than I thought. The entrance is just a door with a small shop beside it, once you walk down the corridor it just opens up and it was wonderful. It was bright and it's for all ages. I wouldn't mind seeing a gig here as they always promote local talent. It's a great project and I'm so glad, literally, it's became such a success.

Been wanting to check this place out since I first heard about it & finally, a couple of weeks ago,…read moreI got to go. Thankfully it lived up to my expectations of the place. I was only here in the bar for a drink after work but it is such a lovely and cool place to hang about it. Some might say living in the West End I am spoiled for choice for hip bars/venues but I really don't think there's anywhere WE quite like the Glad Cafe. It reminds me more of Stereo or Mono in that not only is the GC a great place to have a drink but also does really nice food (so I hear) and puts on gigs and other such events. It's what Shawlands/the South Side has been crying out for. If I lived local this would most definitely be my local. Beers on tap the evening I went were Brooklyn Lager, William's Lager and Caesar Augustus, West Munich Red and a Sam Smith's beer. This is a really good selection for a place the size it is. Prices were not too bad either ~ £3.50 for a pint of the William's Bros. lager. They also had some nice bottled beers too, including the Drygate beers. The wine list looked pretty substantial also and again, pretty good prices. I did have an issue with the West Munich Red beer in that it tasted bizarre/off but thankfully the nice girl serving let me choose another beer instead. I like the decor, furniture and layout of the cafe, it feels very boho and being in here on a Winters evening with all the wee tealights lit it was delightfully cosy & just what I needed after a long, tiring week. If you want to come here for food I noticed the kitchen stops serving at 7pm which surprised me as just assumed this was a place were folk could come for an evening meal but obviously it really is more a 'cafe' than just the name suggests. Great place, lovely vibe and providing that little bit something extra for the area ~ I'm a fan.

What a lovely bar, and it's busy! We snagged a long high table by the front door but those tables to the rear look cosy. I liked the large windows keeping it bright and open. We never ordered food but lots of wine. They have a great selection and the staff were pretty helpful considering there were about 15 of us. I'll go back for food next time I'm home.

I'd read earlier today they were having a free craft beer tasting this coming Friday, so when I…read morewas in Shawlands this evening looking for somewhere to go for a drink I thought I'd pop along here to check it out. I just spotted the restaurant area at first on arrival and was pleased when we were offered the bar area through the back as another seating option as we'd already eaten dinner and didn't want to order food. We bought two craft beers - one by Williams Bros and one by Deeside Brewery, £3.95 each, from their craft beer fridge. I liked that this fridge was easily accessible for people to peruse and select a drink as often it can be hard in bars to get a good look at the selection behind the bar, and also it meant I could look at the labels to read the drink descriptions and ingredients. On the bar was a basket of crisps (Kettle Chips :)) and nuts priced at a £1 per bag. The Lite Bite food menu didn't have much on it that looked suitable for me (as a vegan); perhaps the veggie haggis would be ok if there was no butter in the neeps and tatties, and I spotted on the restaurant menu they also have sorbets by Porrellis, which are vegan-friendly. The toilets had a nice smell and good handdrier. :) There were two TVs, each with the volume off, showing different sports. It was really quiet tonight and as we left we were the only customers in there, possibly because it's not only a Monday but also a bank holiday. I don't mind quiet places though so that was quite nice. Would be nice if there was something on the menu to take my fancy to make me want to go back to eat, but service was good and they have a good selection of craft beers so happy to give 4 stars for somewhere to go back for drinks if I was on a night out on the southside.

This is a combination review of 2 visits!…read more Visit 1: i was excited to try here as from reading online the gluten free menu looked amazing and i wasnt disappointed in person. Gluten free chicken tempura?? Get in my belly!! It was delicious as was the gf haddock and chips. My mum ordered the steak frites amd all was going well till she choked on a piece and things got a little bit scary. The staff were lovely and helpful and thankfully my mum was ok however she had barely touched her meal and was understandably put off finishing it so it was taken away. I was very disappointed then to see that we were charged full price for her meal. Granted it was not the restaurants fault she choked but still. Money was taken off after i queried it. Visit 2: After raving about the gf batter to my bf we visited the other day and I was genuinely gutted to see the tempura and fish and chips were no longer on the menu. I had a chicken burger with gf bun but it was not the same and to be honest I dont think I will be back now as the menu is very generic now with items that are naturally gf anyway. So disappointed!

Don't be deceived by the name or the pretty font, the Waverly Tea Rooms is sadly not a teahouse…read more To be fair, the Waverley (a bar and restaurant) has a sedate and subdued atmosphere most of the time, but this is usually through circumstance rather than choice. The truth is that it is yet another slightly soulless member of the G1 franchise. The drinks are ridiculously expensive (especially the beer I believe) and the clientele (especially at the weekend) are proud members of the white shirted brigade - men with ludicrously gelled back hair, overwhelming aftershave and a liking for labels who think that standing at the bar holding a £20 note will get them served quicker. It is popular for a reason though. It is one of the few pubs in the south side that opens past 12 during the week. Plus, its conservatory and beer garden means that it is as good a place as any to enjoy a leisurely afternoon in the sun. However, I would stay away at the weekend as it becomes cramped and uncomfortable. There are better things to do of an evening than stand in a corner shouting over rubbish music, whilst your friend queues for half an hour for a £4 drink.

Oh dear. Things were not looking up from the start. We wanted Sunday lunch but couldn't get into…read moreour first choice restaurant so we headed here. On entry we were informed that the card machine was broken so we would have to pay cash. No problem, technical problems happen. Then we ordered drinks. Nothing complex just cokes, diet cokes, lemonades. These took forever to arrive and when we enquired with the absent waitress (we had to go into the bar) she wasn't in the least bit apologetic as she barked that they were coming. We ordered food, at the same time as drinks, from the menu imaginatively clipped to pieces of old wine crate - nice touch except that A4 is larger than the board so the menus were tatty round the edge (again, not a deal breaker but symptomatic of worse problems to come!). The propaganda at the beginning described something about the proprietor's love of food (he obviously doesn't eat here very often). Like so many others I went for the 'Famous Sunday Roast' which was shocking. The roast pork loin was ok - not over cooked - but the 'seasonal veg' were non existent. I had peas and carrots which had painfully obviously been frozen (rubbery carrots - eugh). Carrots might be seasonal but peas - not in January. What about some Kale or cabbage? The potatoes weren't great, but by this time we were so exhausted by the waiting for everything that we couldn't be bothered to send it back. We just wanted to leave. As a final salute to terrible restaurants, as she neared the bottom of her green salad, my friend found a hair mixed in with the leaves. On drawing this to the waitress' attention, she wasn't greeted with an outpouring of apology but an indifferent grunt. No 'comped' salad for us then. We finally fished out the loose change (remember no card machine) to make the bill exactly (no a snowball's chance in hell of a tip) and left. For £7.95 I don't expect caviar served by my own personal butler but I don't expect the horrific experience that I endured.
