My husband and I never really bother too much with fast food, however when our kids and grandkids…read morewere visiting recently, they took us to McDonalds in Balloch for a quick lunch. What a pleasant surprise! I had expected a dirty, greasy place but was very pleased to see that it was exceptionally clean and there was one member of staff who seemed to be engaged in full-time cleaning duties of the restaurant. Our food was basic but very tasty, and there was some nutritional info on a leaflet given to us with the tray which again surprised me as it was nowhere as bad as I had expected - my entire meal had approx 600 calories. They also have a drive-in service which is very popular - we watched dozens of cars passing through while we ate. Although I never thought I'd say it, I would highly recommend stopping off here for a very cheap and cheerful lunch - it's a lot better than I expected!

For me, visiting a McDonald's is never exactly a proud moment. It usually means I'm a) drunk, b)…read morehungover or c) suffering a momentary lapse of self control and ruining my most recent attempts to be healthy. We've all been there, I'm sure. Thing is, McDonald's actually is good for those things and if that's what you're after then there's no shame in that. This branch is especially handy in that it's open 24 hours. It also has a drive-thru attached, although I've never used that facility so I can't properly comment on it. In spite of being a small, drive-thru branch they still do all of the major offers (so if you get one of those vouchers for a big mac and fries for £1.99 then go ahead, they'll accept it) and they do all the standard UK menu items, including the specials as they come and go. Food-wise it's the same as any other McDonald's. They can alter your items if you have any particular requirements and they almost always have a few Big Macs and McChicken Sandwiches ready to go as you walk in. If not, they're still pretty quick. Less popular items, such as specials, salads and deli sandwiches take a bit longer, but I'm pretty sure that's true everywhere. You can expect really long queues around dinner time and long-ish queues at lunch time over the weekends. I've only ever once failed to get a seat, though. Plus, the staff are quick enough and clearing the queue and if there's a wait for fries (or if you've ordered something less popular) they'll tell you to go take a seat and will bring it to you when it's ready. The toilets are kept pretty clean and the staff do a decent job of clearing the tables whenever they get chance. The WiFi is free too, so I could even imagine people working here during quieter hours. One very important thing though - don't get the coffee. It's the worst I've ever tasted. Just don't.

Most folk by now, will realise this about me... I like curries and burgers!…read more This is a local restaurant to me & as an out of city place, it really does well against them in the food quality department & interior ambience. Is it my most favourite first go to place? Not exactly - The Den is my most favourite place in the world, but sometimes I don't want to drive a 15 miles round trip for a curry! Having this place within a mile is a god send & I know it's fresh, cooked with care & the service is warm and friendly. This is a place where everyone is a regular & knows everyone. That in part is what makes this a great place. You don't have a raft of passers by, so in order to keep regulars you can't disappoint them with sub standard food. (You won't get the generic 'tomato' base for every single dish here!) We show our faces around 2-3 times a month here & have done for nearly 4 years now. As long as this place is still around and we live here, it will be the same for the next 4 years. They have recently opened a huge hall on the back, so larger parties and events are also catered for. Great amenities for something local! You Gotta Eat Here - For Sure!! :-D

The service in this place is terrible. We waited for 75 mins to get our starter on…read moreSaturday night, the place wasn't that busy. After starters it was another hour to be presented with (after much complaining) cold curries which had a thick skin on top. At this point, I told them to take the curries away, I didn't want any of their food and that we would not be paying for any food. The manageress apologised and said 3 staff members phoned in sick. Okay this happens, but when you have bookings and food not going out, put a hold on take aways, I counted 42 going out whilst we were waiting for our food. Our free drinks took 20 mins and then only half the order appeared. Eventually the owner turned up at the restaurant and we could see the manageress giving him the details of what happened. Two days later, we are still awaiting an apology. We were part of a larger group and this ruined my friend's 40th birthday. Don't waste, your time, money or taste buds.

They sell an abundance of freshly made subway sandwiches, some of them are hot. They can be toasted to suit. A variety of hot and cold drinks and snacks are available to accompany your sandwich. It is clean enough in here but can be a bit messy at times due to the high volume of teenage schoolkids which use it at lunchtimes. It is good value for money and is even better when they have special offers on.
