    I've been hearing such good things about this place, so when my friend suggested we meet in the centre of town for a lunchtime bite, this seemed like a no-brainer. I have a bit of a problem with many of the lunch places in town - they're mostly expensive and samey, leaving me feeling that I just should have gone home, or bought things to make sandwiches and sat in a park somewhere. Social Bite's chef is Michelin starred. Their profits go to good causes, and they actually do that whole suspended coffee thing that keeps getting shared to Facebook... I opted for the crayfish & mango salad (£4.25 I think), with a banana & massive cup of tea (£1.30 iirc). (There was also a soup / sandwich / fruit deal for £5, which my lunch buddy had, and which is incredible value.) The salad came with a wee pot of dressing, and was in one of those pre-style boxes. And wow, it really was good. The crayfish was fresh, the mango had just the right amount of bite, and the dressing was well paired. Bloody good.

    Fancy pot noodle with chicken, fresh veg and a chilli kick. Hot and tasty goodness.

    See all

    Right on noon. Was walking past the shop and saw a queue out the door, decided to pass it up, came…read moreback after the queue quieted down to discover just why the queue was so long. Seriously one of the most memorable sandwiches I've ever eaten, lovely happy faces to greet you and so many creative sandwich options! Send your friends.

    This being my first time at this location I wasn't sure if it was going to be like the one in…read moreFinneston. They're about the same size and always packed, and huzzah, their sandwiches are delicious at both locations. I had walked by a few times the day I finally popped in for a late lunch, as they were swamped the whole lunch rush. I managed to squeeze in to the queue around 2pm and I could tell they had just been through the ringer with the lunch crowd. The guy ahead of me wanted a chicken tikka sandwich but they were out of a couple of the ingredients, so he ordered something else. When it was my turn to order, the guy jokingly said 'let's see if I'm able to make your sandwich!" I ordered the Chiken Ole which was chicken meat, manchego cheese, chorizo, salsa and a spicy mayo on ciabatta. The only one thing they didn't have was the salsa, which in exchange they offered me a bit of salad with some sweet chili sauce. I decided against the sauce and took the salad! What a delightful sandwich this was. My stomach is growling just thinking about it! The bread was freshly baked and so delicious, even at 2pm. The ingredients were all fresh and piled high in to the bread. I also grabbed a bag of crisps and a lemon mint san pellagrino. The greatest lunch on the go I've had in a long while. The guys in here were cool as anything and the music was great. The queues might be long but the sandwiches are worth it. They also serve soups, coffee and baked goods if you're looking for something sweet. I will be back for sure!

    This was my favourite place to go for lunch back when I worked in Royal Exchange Square, as it was…read morejust round the corner so it was really handy, as well as being somewhere I knew I could get something good! There are loads of different options, nothing massively different or fancy, but often at lunchtime all you want is something filling and yummy, which is definitely what you get here! There are soups, sandwiches, hot and cold filled rolls (and I believe breakfast items as well?) plus toasties which all come with different fillings and you can pick whatever you want. They aren't stingy with the fillings at all as well which is great! I also highly recommend the macaroni cheese because it's DELICIOUS, you get a fair amount and it's just what you need when the weather's not the best and you still have to face an afternoon of work. Everything's really reasonably priced for what you get as well, especially when you compare it to some of the other places around there. Due to said delicious food, the place is always packed at lunchtimes with hungry workers, and the queue often goes right out the door - not that inside is massive, mind you. However, I never ended up waiting very long as the staff always serve people really quickly, they're very efficient! There are also different snacky things you can grab like the usual packets of crisps, teacakes and other Tunnock's stuff and also some very scrummy home baking - the caramel shortcake in particular is a delight. It is takeaway only so I guess that could be a downside for some people if you've got nowhere to take your food back to, but they really couldn't fit any tables in there!

I was bullied into going here, to be fair, not one to actively pay several pounds for a sandwich (it's still just bread!) but I really enjoyed this wee place, with good service and more importantly, good food. We sat outside which was a delight, being on a nice day, and overall it was a nice experience. I'm rarely up here, but would go back if I was. Recommended.

My tum was still a-rumblin' however, and wouldn't let up, so I gave in. I got me a roast veg wrap, my friend a chargrilled chicken sandwich with coleslaw. When the slightly nervous server took out a whole chicken breast and started to carve it up, that's when I started to look at my surroundings in a new way. The coleslaw was devine and clearly homemade, and as I looked at the sandwich fillings spread out behind the sparkling sneeze guard, I suspected that they were all homemade and of the same standard. No fat encrusted subway bacon here! It has a little breakfast bar at the back to sit in, and aside from the nervousness of the server, both the people working there were very friendly considering I was only there for two tics. My wrap must have been one of the best - and affordable hurried lunch rolls I've had in town - definitely will go back.

It's super close to Central Station, a couple of blocks along Argyle Street from Central Bridge. The space has huge vaulted ceilings, making it feel really spacious. It's got a rustic feel with exposed brick and supports, but managed so make it feel like intentional grunge rather than trying-too-hard-to-be-industrial. The food is as great as it is at the other location, and the staff are just as friendly. The tables are always sticky and the seating is plastic, but you have everything you need. The nuclear beans are excellent, cheesy and warming with a good level of spice. I also often go for the Witchfinder General - a bagel with grilled chicken, chorizo, melted cheddar, chipotle mayo and lettuce. It's really filling and the mayo gives it a good tang to balance out the chorizo, and the little bit of salad on top lightens up what might otherwise be a heavy lunch. (Ok, it's still kinda heavy, but I don't mind). A small thing, but I also appreciate the drinks selections here - along with coke and Irn Bru they stock a few flavours of fruity San Pellegrino drinks, and Bundaberg ginger ale. I never know what I'll be in the mood for so it's great to have some options with different levels of caffeine and sweetness.
