    We ate here on our last night in Inverness after a very long day on a tour. We did not have…read morereservations but the restaurant was accommodating and kind. The World Cup Game was on so it was lively and fun. I will tell you, this was some of the best seasoned food we had the entire time we were in the UK (two weeks). Finally we didn't feel the need to add salt to something. The flavor was just spot on. My husband had the beer steak pie with puff pastry, I had the Cullen skink, my son had a pizza (I can't remember if it was on the kids' menu or not) and my daughter had a Caesar salad with chicken, which she eats a lot at home and had been craving. Both the skink and the stew were perfectly flavored! The fish in the stew was tender and so was the steak in the pie. If we ever go back to Inverness, we will be sure to be returning to Johnny Foxes. Oh! And our waiter was wonderful! I don't remember his name but a young blonde man with a mullet kind of haircut. Thank you to him!

It was so tasty I managed to eat most of it, I just didn't have room for much of the fries or peas. Quick service and a lovely pub atmosphere.

    This was an excellent lunch stop for us in the town of Inverness.  We picked this place partially…read morebecause it was a recommendation by renowned travel writer Rick Steves back in 2014.  It is also located conveniently in the heart of the commercial district and right alongside the Ness River.  Our friendly and engaging hostess/manager was Alina, a 17 year veteran.  They have a cozy and attractive 2 story high ceilinged setting and we sat on the 2nd floor.  The lunch menu was a variety of high quality 2 course selections for a very reasonable 18.95 GBP.  Our party of 4 had a delicious and beautifully presented lunch.  For the mains, I had their traditional fish pie and wife had their filet of seabass.  Our travel mates had the rump steak and red pesto gnocchi.  It got busy and the kitchen might have gotten backed up and it took a little while on the food, but we enjoyed hanging out here.  Service was otherwise friendly and attentive.  Highly recommended should you find yourselves in the lovely town of Inverness.

    Nice. But also somewhat disappointing. After reading the rave reviews we chose to come here for…read moredinner. It's a big and very busy restaurant, with two levels of tables. We were taken to our table upstairs, frankly it was warm and a bit uncomfortable. Our server was a charming man, who unfortunately for him was working along on his first day. The restaurant was short staffed and they assisted him very well. He apologized multiple times. The goat cheese salad starter was reasonably good, certainly not great. My wife selected the halibut special that was frankly too salty. My choice of the monkfish was much better. On the recommendation of the people at the next table, I ordered the cheese board dessert. It was the best part of my meal.

    Stopped by this spot after a quick jaunt to Loch Ness. This was the 4th stop on our British Isles…read morecruise and our 2nd stop in Scotland. Inverness is a small town and easily maneuverable. We only had about an hour before we had to meet the bus to head back to the cruise ship. We were starving and I needed a beer. From the outside this place didn't look like a pub but walking in you definitely got that feeling. I ordered 2 Yorkshire puddings and haggis with whiskey sauce (because I was told they were appetizers) and my husband ordered some kind of soup which he said was very tasty. Of course he ate my other appetizer.. Because it was awesome. I ordered the Tennant Lager. Very good choice. Scotland has some mighty tasty brews. The service was ok though not especially attentive or quick. We unfortunately had to ask for everything. Had we more time to spend maybe the wait would not have been so bad. Having said that, the food was great and the beer was delicious. If you have some time and want something tasty, definitely stop in here.

You can also chose 2 meals between a list of 8 for £10,50. However, the link between these meals is quite difficult to make.
