Who eats at a diner in the middle of the Scottish highlands?…read more Me. It was actually my birthday this day and I knew I needed a milkshake with dinner after hiking approximately 14 miles on the West Highland Way. The spicy chicken sandwich hit the spot. The Oreo milkshake was actually fantastical in every way possible. A very nice man named David was our server and we enjoyed his conversation!

This was one of the worst diner experiences I have ever had. We were greeted by a very unfriendly…read morewoman who judged us with every dirty look she gave us. The food was okay, though it wasn't worth the price at all. The mayonnaise tasted like it had been in the store for years. I ordered a Cheese Tomato Toastie, though was given one with onions instead of tomatoes. When returning the Toastie, I was once again given a dirty look. The new one tasted like they just reused the old toast. The diner itself was weirdly empty - I would suggest getting more furniture. Would not come back. Go to the TJ's instead - it is WAYYY better than this.

I'm never really in this neck of the woods but tonight I was and it was time for dinner! My friend…read moreand I decided to pop in for dinner and I'm pleased to say, we were not disappointed. There were plenty of booths and tables. At first it looked really busy (good sign) with plenty of families tucking into their food. Walking round, we found a booth straight away. Usual style of pub grub you would expect, with many coming in 'big plate' portions as well as standard servings. With pub favourite dishes being offered at two for £8.99, it's reasonably priced. Every day, they have a different offer on too; tonight was a free starter/dessert if you otdered a big plate. Ordering is done at the bar. I ordered the chicken skewers with piri piri sauce, lemon rice and a side salad with a coke. The waitress quivkly brought over a stand with cutlery and a range of condments in full sized bottles (not a sachet in sight!). Food arrived prompty and I started tucking into my meal.. I love spucy food and it's not often I say that something is too soicy but this piri piri sauce was HOT! The chicken was delicious but the highlight was the rice. I wasn't expecting to like it much (not a massive fan of lemon in savoury foods) but the balance was just right. The salad was okay, but not that exciting and I didn't like the salad dressing much. If I'm in the area I'd definitely head back but it wouldn't be my first choice.

To be honest, I've walked passed the alley that has signs on it for Bread + Butter and Chippy Doon…read morethe Lane but have never ventured down in to either. Well, this has all changed. My boyfriend and two of our friends enjoyed a day at a sneaker (yes, it was called a sneaker festival, not a trainer festival) in Finneston when we decided to venture in to the city for some drinks. Well, they drank, I had water, as I'm currently off the booze for health reasons. Anyway, we were looking for anyplace really that had seating and after trying a few of our normal haunts, we decided to check to see if we could get a seat here. Voila! We could! The catch was that the massive table we were able to score had to be back in a few hours time, which was fine by us. What an interesting concept this place. It's part cafeteria, part bar, part sports pub, part party hall. It really is a massive place with not a single style to call it's own, rather a few mixed in. Loads of family sized wooden tables and benches to sit at, as well as cozy chairs, stool and mini tables. A mixed crowd of kids (yes, kids), families, groups of women and men, and of course us. Three dudes and me. Ha! The lot of us really don't understand why pubs/bars are starting to cater to having kids in among all the drinking and the booze but I digress... The guys decided they were going to partake in the cocktails they had on their list. Mai-thai, and a DeNiro. The Mai-thai, they said was pretty boozy but good and the DeNiro was really sweet. The DeNiro was Jack Daniels, vanilla essence, coke and a piece of orange. They all agreed, instead of an orange, it would have been better with a cherry. I enjoyed my water just fine (boo!!)- but the waiter didn't seemed pleased about serving it. He basically threw it on the table, not even asking who may have ordered it. On top of that, even though I asked for a lemon, it came barely with any ice and no lemon. Oh well. Anyway, I think this could be a place to bring the girls back for a night out. The guys I was with weren't too keen on the music being like in a club and it just wasn't their style. The drinks are a bit pricey, but for one or two, it's ok.

The pizzas are a bit cheese heavy, (and that's coming from a cheese lover) and topping light, but for a tenner for 2 I won't complain. The base is thin and crispy, and always perfectly cooked. Service was fairly quick, and there's plenty of space and seating. I wouldn't choose it for a meal or evening out, but for an after work drink and munch it does the job.

The cafe itself is going for a rundown 50s era American dinner look. To be honest, a bit cliché, but it is what it is.

The red vinyl booth seating, shiny chrome, mini jukeboxes in each booth and thoroughly wholesome Americana vibe is done well. Unfortunately, I feel that it's more style than substance. The menu looked interesting but failed to excite, The waitress made it clear we were still in Scotland and did not transport us to the land of over enthusiasm and gushing service. Whilst there was nothing wrong with our food and it arrived piping hot it was a standard burger and chips. In an American Diner I expect perfectly crisp french fries not anaemic, limp chips that you know were pulled out of the freezer minutes before. The other sides were equally disappointing frozen onion rings and bought in coleslaw. I wanted to like Ed's Easy Diner. I wanted to it to be more than just a pretty face. I'm just a bit meh about everything other than the decor.

We got three courses for £11, served a lovely waiter with (what I hope was) a cheesy fake Italian accent. I got mushrooms to start, creamy chicken pasta for main and finished with waffles. Everything was delicious!!! I was stuffed and chuffed ;). My Mum also enjoyed her meal, she had garlic bread, fish and chips and ice cream. I'm not a big drinker and Mum was driving to I had diet coke (with unlimited refills) and Mum had tea. The best part was the music they played! Elvis, Dusty Springfield, The Beatles and lots of others that I love. The bathrooms were nice too :). So my views of Frankie and Benny's have definitely changed and I will no doubt return.
