Little spot in gran town…read more What do you get when you cross a polish chef making American food in Scotland? Some grub bub that will stick with y'a. Tasty little ditty of a place with a taste of American food. Ok after processing how dang tasty this was I had to come back and change to 5 stars!! Yes 5 stars! I had the chicken sandwich and one of the best I have ever had!!! So good. I added the jalapeños and cheese and bacon and it was off the hook. Guy Fieri needs to try this spot. This place should be on diners, drive inns and dives!! Wife had the pulled pork nachos and they were better than most places in Texas! Place is legit! If anywhere near here then must visit!! No naked chips!! And house made puffed chips were legit!! With an infinity for cars and hospitality for days. Cool little spot with some nice people. Quick to make and easy to eat. And the service was great and ambiance a cool little hometown diner feel.

It definitely has a diner feel to it with records on the wall, and a cool mural, as well as red and white striped chairs and polished tables. The service was great, as the owner came over and delivered our food and chated with us. He's Jon and really sweet! The food? Dayyyum! Soooo good! My husband said it was the best chicken sandwich he has had in a long time, he almost ordered another one, and my nachos were quite possibly the best nachos I've had (certainly top 3!) Better than Texas, and I lived there for 30 years. I heard they make the chips here fresh every morning! Too cool. They were light, fluffy, crispy, seasoned, sturdy enough, and absolutely fantastic! There wasn't a naked chip amongst them and the toppings made it all the way to the bottom and then some. You really need to try this place if you come through here on the way to the whiskey trails and distilleries. You won't be disappointed! You will be ecstatic!

The food here was solid, but honestly, the service was a little goofy. First of all, why is it…read morethat some of these restaurants in the smaller towns have no idea what to do with a solo diner? I have no problem travelling alone or eating alone. Trust me, it's by choice. In some examples, it is excessive deference; in some, the coldest indifference; in some, utter bewilderment. In any case, it drives me crazy to see a server's behavior change going from my table to a family of four across the aisle. Second, I have to tell this story about marinara sauce. Maybe this was a cultural disparity, or maybe this girl was dumber than a box of rocks. You make the call. I ordered a calzone and, when it came out, asked for some marinara sauce. "I don't know what that is. I don't think we have that." "Uh...tomato sauce?" "Oh, sure, okay." And as she's walking away, I think, "Come on, we both speak English here. How can you work in food service and not know what marinara sauce is? And this is a PIZZA HOUSE?" Okay, so maybe they don't call it "marinara" in Scotland. After all, I read that the boom in Americanized Italian cooking in the United States occurred after WWII GIs returned from tours of duty in Italy raving about the food that they had eaten there; so maybe British Italian cooking is different than what evolved in the U.S. So she comes back with a dish full of...ketchup. Wow. Okay, that was funny. We clearly have a cultural barrier here, for which I can't fault her. The thought of ruining a perfectly good calzone with ketchup offends me, but oh well. Third try: "Uh, actually I wanted tomato sauce, like pasta sauce. Like pizza sauce--what you would put on the pizzas?" "I don't think we have that." Now I'm just stunned. My mind is going through all these wild possibilities, such as, Maybe they don't use tomato sauce on their pizzas here...? Nothing but white pizza? So I splutter, "Wh--uh--what? Don't you make your pizzas with tomato sauce? Any of the pizzas? Like those folks over there, that seems to be a regular pizza, with tomato sauce, right?" "Oh, like THAT stuff? You want that in a dish?" And then she looked at me as if I had a weird skin disease but she didn't want to be impolite but she was failing and still making a face. You know that look, right? So anyway, then she brought me the marinara sauce, but what the fuck. So the calzone was good--a vegetable calzone, which included corn! And they made me a delightful little chocolate sundae with cookie pieces at the end, so I was mostly satisfied with the experience other than those two minutes which I will never forget as long as I live.

TLDR: tourists should avoid or be prepared for frustration…read more Went there on a Thursday night at 8:20pm. We were told the kitchen closed at 8. No problem, that's on me, even though the hours published on their website don't list the kitchen closing during any certain times and their hours went until much, much later. Still, no real complaint; just the way it is. Fast forward to Sunday. I won't get caught short again; I have a foolproof plan. I'll call ahead. The discourteous person on the other end of the phone explains to me that their kitchen hours are 1115a to 730p. Thanks, we will see you before long then. We arrive just prior to 3pm and the same person I spoke to on the phone informs me that they simply have nothing available; reservations required. Now, this isn't posted on their website, but I understand that since it's Easter Sunday, they may have temporary rules for that. But how about this? TELL ME THAT ON THE PHONE WHEN I CALL AND ASK ABOUT TODAY'S KITCHEN HOURS!!! My bottom line in this place is that they may have great food, but I suspect that they just aren't tourist friendly. We will not give them a third opportunity and if you're here for leisure, I'd recommend that you avoid this place as well. Unless you draft an airtight questionnaire determining when they will deign to allow you to be seated for dinner. And maybe the hostess/phone person should be picked for her abilities to communicate in a friendly, approachable manner.

Wandered into the Copper Dog (since it was the only place that had food at 3pm). Quaint and rustic and just what you would imagine in the countryside of Scotland. Finally tried haggis bon bons for the first time and ordered 3 types of local cheeses. The haggis was much more tasty than were originally led to believe. Although it's a mix of heart, liver and lung minced up - it was served deep fried in a bon bon (haggis ball) with a whisky sauce and a wee bit of lettuce. The local cheeses were also tasty served with oat crackers (not as much a fan). The haggis bon bons were so good we ordered another plate to share between the 3 of us. Had a huge array of whisky, beer and wine available. ordered the steak pie, fish and chips and haggis and cabbage. Everything was so good. Who would have thought a small countryside venue would be serving up such delicious Scottish food.
