    This is probably more of a 3.5 star review but it nudges towards 4 so here goes…read more We were looking for somewhere to host a family birthday dinner and a family member had suggested here. It was my fist visit but apparently the Elliston Grill has been around for years and is popular with locals. When we phoned to book, we were offered a special menu. At first when we received the menu, we thought it was a typo, but nope it wasn't. £13.95 for 3 courses with optional charges (around £3 extra) for ordering the steak or cheese board. The menu was a steal - great food for the price. The goats cheese starter with honey, beetroot and walnuts was lovely. Really good goats cheese - with a good balance of salty and sweet flavours (not too much salt as with some types of goats cheese). I also tried the pate - this was a very generous portion and it was lovely too! Had a steak, cooked perfectly medium. Was a bit disappointed that the fish with puy lentils was off limits (not gluten free which was surprising) but other dinners who had this option thought it was very good. Very good generous portions so if you come hungry, you won't be disappointed! Typical range of desserts - creme brulee, chocolate cake, cheese board, ice cream which were good - most of us were pretty stuffed by then. Service was friendly but it was here it was a bit of a let down. The staff are all pretty young and friendly but may lack experience and might need someone with a bit more experience to manage the floor. There were two large tables (including ours) and other smaller ones, but there were times when no members of staff were on the floor and it took awhile for them to appear again. We had to constantly try and grab someone to reorder beers, soft drinks, etc for the non wine drinkers and this took awhile trying to find someone a few times when you would expect every now and again for someone to do a walk past to see if anything drink wise was needing replenished. They might have had an off night or been short staffed, who knows. As we had also been offered a set menu, created by the Elliston Grill, we were given a different one to what we had received (most people by then had already decided what they had wanted off the original menu) so we ended up reading the menu off phones so they could provide a copy of the menu that we had been sent. So, probably a 3.5 at the moment. If I go back, it would be back with a smaller group as if you are hosting then you are conscious if you have guests lacking drinks and that does affect your enjoyment. But the food is good :-)

    Myself and the parent came here to watch the Celtic Aberdeen game which was on BT Vision, a channel…read morewe don't have. Phoned the place and spoke to the barmaid on who wasn't sure whether they were showing it or not. They took a telephone number and called back to say they were. Decent service from the off but it's in their interest as we would have headed to the fox and hounds to watch it if they hadn't called back. They were showing it through French channel which meant the commentary was in French. This was odd but originally it was football with music which just didn't sit right so it was changed for French commentary. Whilst there we ate and I had a delicious turkey brie and cranberry toastie and some soup. Pricey though at £7.00 but they always try and fleece you round these parts. The old dears got a better deal as they do a two course senieor lunch for £10.00. The crafty buggers got 1 starter, two mains and 1 dessert. Which was more than enough between them, what they had I can't remember I think it was something fishy so I didn't try it. Again it was a while ago so I can't remember what they had but the starters and desserts were delicious. All in all they were happy with quality of food and portion size. The place wasn't busy so there wasn't much of an atmosphere but all in all it was good visit. If I was 40 years older and eligible for a seniors lunch it may even have got 4 starts as with the cost of the normal menu the seniors deal really is good.

    Kind of rough-looking at first, complete with a very few well-worn tables, a rough-looking…read morebartender and big, angry-eyed Jaegermeister hart on the wall blasting you in the face as soon as you walk in, but don't let appearances mean everything. The place was great. The rough guy behind the bar may or may not be one of those guys hired to throw fighting drunkards out onto the street, but if so, he was a friendly rough guy who could recommend the right beer along with the outstanding onion rings with a smile on his face and a description of their ingredients and preparation that was straight from a chef's school's creative menu-writing class by way of a genuine love for the establishment's own big circular fried veggies. Our waitress was a engaging, beautiful, well-rounded and very cheerful Sco'ish woman with equal enthusiasm for the burgers and beers on tap. Good service, all y'all! The beer recommended for my wife was a Czech Pilsner draft, Krusovice, a mass-market offering from Heineken that's tasty, if not very challenging. She said it was meh - but she was on the way to finishing the whole pint when I expressed surprise that she'd gone through more than a third of the glass, her usual place to stop. Either she liked it more than she let on, or the day's exertions led to a need for extra alcohol. Mine was a more-local-er IPA that I don't have the name of because I've been counting on the name being on the receipt and it isn't. Darn, because it was tasty and went well with the food and you should get that. So why should an American get a burger in Paisley, UK? I dunno. We were here to join an organized tour of northern Scotland, where we were promised all the Scottish food we cared to mange for the next week, and didn't really want to go overboard; plus, we'd been in Edinburgh the previous few days, and tried some of the local versions of lots of kinds of foods, so just wanted a quick somewhat-familiar bite as a respite. It was the right thing for us. Somewhat familiar, anyway. The burger was delicious, but ground a little differently, so not quite the same texture. It was singed on the crust (mmmm!) but cooked to medium-doneness in the inside (mmmm!). The roll was a beautiful, shiny egg-white-finished thing with excellent texture and an actual flavor of its own. We each got slightly different toppings; even though they had familiar American names, the outcome was just a little different - and seriously yummy. Get a hamburger or a cheeseburger! The fries were potato-y, perfectly done and very tasty. Skins on, peppered as well as salted, yum, get those. My onion rings were among the best I've ever tried, due to the wonderful beer batter. The sauce was OK, not great. Which brings us to ketchup. Heinz ketchup in the UK is just a little different from American Heinz. UK palates apparently appreciate a condiment that's slightly sweeter, with maybe a hind of cinnamon and maybe cardamom. I like it, but it's kind of a funny thing. Your tongue may expect one thing, but since it gets another, there may be some cognitive dissonance going on. Don't let your brain tilt to the "it ain't right" side! No! Gently, mindfully, pull it over to "Mmmmmm, this is good." Because it is. This isn't an American burger joint. It's a Paisley American burger joint. Dude, you're in Scotland. Enjoy it, it's good. Go there. BTW, the taxi stand is a few steps across the square next to the train station. It's about 5 - 6 pounds to the airport Holiday Inn, one pound cheaper than our Uber ride coming in - and the Uber driver was an asshole who gave us a lousy review, preventing us from getting the return trip. Whatever, dude. Sorry you're bitter that you lost your business, but might it be due to your attitude?

    Really good burgerand wing place. Recommend the macaroni fritter on the burger for added chubbage…read more Fries are solid, no booze becasuse of covid but looks like a solid bar. Come check it out.
