Luckily that is what we came in for! We both opted for a Steak & Ale pie and it lived up to expectations. The only bad thing was waiting a bit for some steam to escape so it could cool down enough to eat! The flaky pastry was amazing and we both ate every bit of our pies. It was everything you would want- tender steak, rich gravy, well cooked potatoes and peas. Service was good as well, so no complaints for our visit on any front. Atmosphere was lively and tables are close enough to strike up a conversation with your neighbor. Back in the states now and only wishing we could stop by for another pie.

We ended up being seated outside, which was fine, nothing great about the atmosphere out there besides being in St. Andrews. For food, we had the Steak & Ale Cri Pie, which was good, but not great. I believe this is one of the things they are known for. Again good, but I've had better elsewhere. Also had the Cullen Skink, which was excellent. That is my favorite Scottish dish and this one didn't disappoint. My daughter had nachos, which apparently is a big thing with the kids in Scotland, and she liked those. Criterion is one of her favorite restaurants as a student at St. Andrews. Service was good. Overall, was a good meal.

My family and I were visiting St. Andrews and I was looking up places to eat and yelp introduced us…read moreto this place with super high ratings. It is British food so I expected the typical hamburger, pasties, pastas, and pizza menu ,but for a Bar like british kinda restaurant 4.5 stars is high, so we went. High Yield: A Bar/pub restaurant that offers pretty sweet combo deals good for a family, with hearty burgers, pizzas, pastas, curries, soups, and other things on a large menu with a festive environment. Food: I give them a 3/5 We did the 2 for 10.99 deal. From that deal you can order anything that is marked as qualifying for this deal. You can choose from hamburgers, lasagne, Hunter's chicken, and even chicken masala or vegetable tikka! So we ordered the following: Vegetable tikka: I don't like peppers and this one had a lot of peppers. So if you're someone like me, ask them to remove ahead of time. This seemed to be about a 3/5 in flavoring as my sister didn't even finish 1/3 of her portion. Came with basamati rice and naan. The naan seemed alright and the basmati rice also seemed ok. Hunters Chicken: A chicken breast with bacon put in the middle with some sauce on top. Came with onion rings and wedge fries. Chicken was alright- a little dry for my liking, but the bacon probably helped in keeping it moist Classic Lasagne: This is a beef lasagne with a generous amount of cheese on top baked in its own small dish. The beef was enough for you to see. Lasagne was a little ovvercooked for my liking. And a generous helping of cheese. Very hearty and rich and warm for anyone wanting a good comfort food to keep them warm on a cold day. Soup of the day- Potato Leek- This soup was also pretty good. Add a dash of pepper on top and you're set to go. Not too creamy and not too watery, flavor was just right. 5 a Day Salad- Definitely recommend this if you're someone tired of the Caesar or typical house salad- this one is one of the most unique blends I've ever seen. It had avocado (unripe, you can taste the weird watery texture), green grapes, tomatoes, lettuce, and some red kinda veggie that I wasn't a fan of. But if you need greens, this is the way to go. Service: you order at the bar counter and then sit down. Our waiter was attentive enough. Friendly enough staff so they get a 4/5 for service. Bang for buck: 5/5 2 main courses for 10.99??? You can't beat that kinda deal if you're on a budget. Def recommend. and desserts are 2 for 6 pounds.

Ordered chips and poured salt on them and it turned out that it had been replaced with sand--explained this to the staff and there was barely an apology.

After numerous recommendations, I finally tried the famous Whey Pat nachos. They are quite good, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't necessarily called them legendary. They mix cheese, chips, and tomato sauce (wouldn't call it salsa) and heat it all up. It ends up in a huge bowl of warm delight.

I…read morehadn't tried Haggis before, so wanted to give it a shot, but they weren't great - a little sour tasting maybe? Not horrible, but not something I would order again. Someone else in our party liked Haggis and also thought these weren't good. So I would pass on these next time. For dinner, I initially ordered fish & chips, but they were out of the fish, so went for the Steak Sandwich. It was good, but not great. Others in our party had nachos, the battered chicken burger, and a Hawaiian pizza. Similar to my experience, I think they thought they were fine. For beers, the Yippee IPA was very good. I thought it was supposed to be a hazy, but didn't have the cloudiness to it, so I guess not. Had a higher IBU, but didn't taste bitter to me. Otherwise, just had a standard lager and then the Hazy Helles, which was ok, not great. Service was just average, as well. With the missing dinner items and then maybe being checked on once or twice, was just ok. The place has a cool vibe, though, and nice atmosphere.

Honestly I really like Aikmans though for me its not one of those bars that you start the night off at but one of the bars you finish the night up at since it is open late everyday of the week. Basically, my last couple of nights out have ended at Aikmans. I also really like this place because they have a pretty broad selection of beers and ales as well as harder sprits for the more veteran drinkers out there. Its a pretty solid pub and pretty typical, I like that it is unpretentious and that the bar men are nice even to the student crowd such as myself. Now that I realise it is a bistro I am going to have to try the food one of these days!

The atmosphere was awesome (and divey) for students and I felt moderately comfortable as a 30 year old. They had a guy who was singing absolutely kick ass covers upstairs the first night and I was in love with the place. It gets crowded, so if you don't have a seat be prepared to get close to some undergrads...which could be a good or bad thing. Overall this is definitely worth a pop into whether you are a tourist or a student. If you are a student, you probably know all of this is and just wasted 30 seconds of your life.
