We were very fortunate to come across this place as we left dinner to the very last minute and had…read moreforgotten to pre-book somewhere to eat. Not a single bad word can be said about this place. The food was absolutely incredible, staff was terrific and the whole theme was very unexpected to see in Dunoon. We had ordered a Calzone (with a side of chips) and the Cajun Chicken with chips, both of which came with a wee portion of coleslaw. The chicken melted in your mouth and was seasoned beautifully. The calzone was baked instead of fried and was the BEST calzone I have ever had. The chips were perfect and even the coleslaw was delicious (and I don't even like coleslaw!). We spoke to who we believe is the owner and he was very friendly and approachable and our server was a woman who could not have been better. Her service was as perfect as our meals. We highly recommend The 51st State Bar & Grill and will definitely be back next time we are in Dunoon.

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.

As for the food the kids meals with surprisingly generous portions. We had many a kids meal with the kids isn't big they're hungry. Burger was excellent quality meat with a good complement to fries. Spaghetti Bolognese again a good portion and quality meat balls. Highlight for me was the haddock and chips with the mushy peas, Best fish and chips I've had in a while primarily because they had it was cooked in such away wasn't greasy and the mushy peas were actual real piece that were slightly mashed and nicely seasoned and tasted of peas. I tried my wife's grass fed steak and It was top notch . This together with the seasonal vegetables was well received. Kids had desserts at the end, all in all a great family restaurant and very nice service. A must for those wanting a slightly higher end dining experience after a long hike during the day.

This is a review of the Kingarth Pub as opposed to the hotel which I've not stayed…read moreat....anyway.....I'd like to say that The Kingarth Hotel does Scotland proud. I mean that 100%. This is real Scottish style country cooking. Homemade grub that isn't fancy or pretentious but hearty, honest and just so darn delicious. I've eaten here on a couple of occasions and each time our party has been blown away with the quality of the food, the epic portion sizes and fantastic value for money. The focus of the food is around the daily specials, which shows just how fresh the food is. Although there is a standard menu, most of the dishes served will be from the large blackboard above the fireplace. So go and seek this out before ordering. I know I may seem to be going overboard here, considering it is just a simple pub serving traditional fare, but I feel like we are getting served up more gastropub type food in our pubs nowadays or just simply cheap frozen stuff. I love The Kingarth because its seems to be clinging to tradition! Staff are very welcoming and friendly, there is a decent ale selection and also a pool table, which probably makes this the best pub on the island. If your in the area cycling, walking or sight seeing then this place has to be on your to-do list for lunch or dinner.

Since I moved to Dunoon I've been searching for a takeaway that could rival the quality I grew…read moreaccustomed to living in the city and finally I've found one that not only meets those standards, it exceeds them. The food from this little fish and chip shop is outstanding, as well as very reasonably priced, and the service is friendly and fast. Established in 1938, the Queen Street Chip Shop was the first and remains the oldest in Dunoon. It's not big. I'd say that if more than half-a-dozen customers were in there at any one time it would start to feel cramped, but I've never had to queue so it's not a problem. The only criticism I would make is the lack of parking. The road outside is double yellow lines, so you can't just nip in and out unless you're on foot. However, there is a free car park in neighbouring Pilot Street, barely fifty yards away, and in Union Lane just around the corner, so the inconvenience is minor and well worth it for the food provided. I've yet to explore their full menu, but what I've tasted is of exceptional quality. The chips in particular are crispy and chunky, and a large portion for just £2 is sure to fill you up. As far as takeaways go, you're not going to find better in Dunoon. There are others that are reasonable, some that are good, but this place is by far the best and whenever my wife and I fancy a treat it's definitely the place we'll go.
