Divey ambiance in the best way possible. Super friendly staff. Many a 20-30-something punk rocker hanging out, hitting the nostalgia vibes for this 50 year old undercover punk rocker. I wanted to exchange Circle Jerks lyrics with them, but I kept it to myself. The food: I had haggis for the first time and it was a revelation. By far the best meal I've had on this trip. If you find yourself in the charming city of Stirling, do yourself a favor and visit Nicky-Tam's.

Our server told us that they are always booked out on a saturday evening so always book ahead. Its a beautiful location and i love the interior. A mix old modern booths with shabby chic touches. I had the gf mac n cheese with chips which was beautifully presented with a side salad. The bf had the haddock and chips and was equally impressed. The range of gf items is really good and its the evening menu which you can see online also has a good selection. It would be nice to see some more gf desserts but since we were so full it wasnt an issue. I cant wait to go back and sample the evening menu.

Was here for a Christmas night out last night. First time I've been and I was pretty impressed…read more The place was absolutely packed with a lot of big parties on Xmas nights out and the staff really had their work cut out - must have been a nightmare shift! The food was surprisingly good - I only say "surprising" because festive menus can be a little hit-or-miss. I usually think Xmas food is less good than the usual menu and sometimes you get the feeling they're just plating up pre-cooked dry turkey as quickly as possible and hoping everybody is too drunk to notice. However, the food here was really nice. I started with duck terrine wrapped in pancetta, which was pretty fantastic. The turkey was the standard Xmas dinner with roasties, chipolatas and a couple of sprouts but it was well presented and well cooked and the cheese selection at the end was good. Everybody else's food looked great too - even the veggie nut loaf looked tasty! The staff were friendly and chatty despite being really busy and apart from the fact that we got our tap water along with our fourth bottle of wine despite asking for it with every bottle of wine from when we first sat down, I can't fault them. (And that's a small thing and it was horribly busy so I feel a bit bad even mentioning it). I'd be really interested to come back when it isn't Christmas and it isn't so busy or so loud. Based on last night's experience I'd expect a nice laid-back atmosphere in a cosy inn with friendly staff and good food. If I ever go back, I'll let you know!

It's clearly a local favorite, with a warm, welcoming vibe and friendly staff who make you feel right at home. They had a good selection of ciders and wines, which were all very reasonably priced. This is a relaxed, down-to-earth place that's everything a little village pub should be. Highly recommended.

Make reservations of possible as this place is very popular with the locals and everyone that came in knew the wait staff and walked straight to their tables as if this is a weekly tradition. We got lucky someone graciously offered their table and eat in the small lounge area to enjoy their drinks. Food was amazing. I ordered chicken curry and was not disappointed. Great quality for a small unassuming restaurant in the Scottish countryside. Those I was with started more traditional and ordered pies, they all commented that the good was great.

Neither was off putting but just not the warm and friendly vibe we had hoped for. I think this is a better place to watch a sporting event as evident later that night. Hardly anyone eating there but lots of people watching football. Here's the catch, there are really only two places to eat in town and if you did not have reservations at the hotel restaurant, then you basically are stuck here. If you have a choice, choose the hotel restaurant option.

Driving up from Loch Lomand to Glen Etive, there are not very many places to eat. This was one of…read morethe few - and we stopped by for a late lunch. The place was empty when we stopped by, and there wasn't much service. We were asked to sit anywhere we wanted and order at the bar. We got the chicken curry, a toastie, side of the rolls, and garlic bread. The chicken curry was okay, but didn't seem like it was fresh - definitely tasted stale. Came with a piece of naan, which was store bought and not fresh again. The garlic bread in my opinion was a bit of a joke - fat slabs of stale bread, slapped with garlic butter and not even toasted well. I see some other good reviews of this place - it is possible we came during an off time and there food is better during regular hours. However I am pretty sure I am not coming back.

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.
