    So we needed a pre-flight meal and decided to try out F&Bs for lack of many other options. I've only eaten at a F&Bs once before which was when I first moved to Scotland. I couldn't remember that experience so was interested to see what it's like. This one is at the top of the stairs once you've been through security. It's kind of dark inside and the lighting really needs to be improved - in the booth we were sitting in, I actually felt like I was under an interrogation light. Anyway, we ended up ordering a starter to share and a main each. We got the chicken strips and I got the penne chicken and mushroom for main. I was also having some rosé wine because holidays. The chicken strips were good. I really liked this. I wish I had them as a main. My main was terrible. Probably the blandest meal I've ever eaten. Ever. It just didn't taste like anything. The cheese crumb just tasted like bread crumbs, I couldn't taste any cheese at all. It was a big fat meh. And a pretty expensive one too at £11. I should have complained but I couldn't be bothered. Upside of the meal was the chicken strips, they were good. I liked the rosé. Our waiter, Liam, was probably the MOST chipper person I've encountered at the airport and you could tell he took his job really seriously. Not in an annoying way, he was very professional, friendly and polite. He's the reason this is 3-stars and not two. Liam, you rock.

    Skinny burger with zucchini fries
    Liis R.

    I've only been to Frankie & Benny's once before, and because of the stories i've heard about the whole franchise, it isn't exactly my idea of 'quality dining', but let me tell you, i was gobsmacked about the whole experience in the Glasgow Airport one! I chose the place, because out of all the others, it seemed to have the most healthy options (i was looking for low cal, but still a tasty meal). The waiter was really nice, chatty, welcoming; even consolidated a crying girl sitting a few tables from me.. I couldn't decide between their goats cheese salad or a skinny burger, which i mentioned, and i ended up getting the burger with zucchini fries - the waiter also had them add a wee extra bit of goats cheese with my salad just cus i couldn't decide earlier!! the taste was as expected, decent for a 'fast food' establishment such as Frankie & Benny's I had a few hours to kill before my flight, so i stayed and had a pick of their cocktail selection, which is also quite impressive. Ast got busier, the service still staid 5*, despite the waiter having about 5+ tables to keep an eye on. All in all, a very pleasant dining experience & i would definitely come back next time i've got time to spare at the airport! (only reason i gave it 4* in stead of 5* is cus i know a bit about how their kitchen works..)

    I stopped at F&B's at 4am right before I started my long journey home. The staff was warm, friendly, and professional and the food was outstanding. This was exactly what I needed before beginning a long international trip. The eggs Benedict is amazing and I highly recommend it.

    Avocado toast
    Rachel L.

    We always ate here before it moved location and it became a bit of a tradition before we flew off on holiday. Unfortunately we had an overwhelmingly negative experience. Despite the restaurant being virtually empty we waited for a table. We then waited about fifteen minutes before a drinks order was taken. The ordering process took a very long time. Then the orders came up wrong, with three of the four breakfast being incorrect. There was no tomato juice for bloody Mary's, no hash browns, no irn bru (we were told but seen lots of people get irn bru after we asked). The avocado toast I ordered was just avocado smashed on a slice of ciabatta it was barely toasted. Definitely won't be coming back next time!

We had been out at local parks, attractions and DIY stores and on way home, decided to stop into a wee gem I had visited in the past with mum. The Twisted Thistle is in the middle of Old Kilpatrick and area of the village appears shabby but the TT is a modern bar/diner located in the shadow of the Erskine Bridge. The interior is very modern and kitchen is open where food prep can be viewed. It has a mix of tables for usual covers and open area with couches for bar adjacent for relaxed vibe. Both were reasonably busy but not overly so. Originally we ate here on a previous occassion as the Lusset ( a former old haunt) didn't do food any more - and sad to say it was very, very run down. However, that was to our benefit once we relocated to the TT. This trip around it was a late lunch / early dinner. I opted for chicken goujons and chilli dip with steak ciabatta as mains. Missus had the soup n sandwich deal. Our youngsters opted for the kids menu with soup and fish n chips for the wee fella and burger for the youngest lass. All were very happy with speed of service, quality of food and we all had a taste of each others grub. Every one agreed on very good value/taste and quality of meals as well as over all service. For me, the goujons were light and crispy and dip was very aromatic - not too sweet and not too spicy. The steak sandwich was cheapest on mains menu (typically tight) but the roll came with chunky steak sliced with onions and cheese. The ends were a little dry but the middle was moist and tasty. Potentially a little expensive for the location but the OK bunch do fancy themselves as a bit up market :) and it was reflected in the high quality of both grub and surroundings. The ambience for a quite quiet day was really good with some ladies lunching in the comfy seats and some lads propping up the bar area all lending to a good atmosphere. The place is very clean including the rest areas. Unknown to me from the previous visit, I spotted that there is a great function area to the rear, so family events could be catered for too - a nice option to learn about. I would like to visit on a weekend evening to check it out then as it's close enough to home to have a relaxed night out and not need to worry about an extended trek home. Plenty of upcoming events with music / DJ advertised such as Hallowe'en, etc. so another reason to nip down on a weekend and TV monitor was on wall with sound down so may be a good spot for watching any big games? In summary; reasonably priced when quality of experience is accounted for. Very very easily the top spot for eats in the Clydebank area. Great big thumbs up. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g186534-d7660613-r319907892-The_Twisted_Thistle-Glasgow_Scotland.html#

    I can only review as a bar as I ain't eaten here…read more.. As a bar it is decent, seems a bit rough about the edges in a dive bar type of way, but the clientele usually are ok and the atmosphere always seems pleasant enough. It's got a lot going on, In that there is a club down stairs, food is served upstairs and there is also a lot of focus on it just being a pub. I've been a good few times and it's usually mobbed. I think that's partly because there ain't any other decent pubs on queen street (that I can think of) and it means everyone heads here. In other areas it might not be my first destination, but where it is it ranks quite highly amongst the places I would stop for a pint if passing. Sometimes it even has some unusual bottles of craft beer hidden in the fridges which is always a good thing. Could be a three on anther street, but a better option on queen street, so I will go with a positive 4 stars.

    Great place to hang out and enjoy some tasty late-night bites. We've enjoyed several lavash wraps…read moreincluding the chicken, cheese, and Jalapeno with Cajun chicken, cheddar cheese with sliced jalapenos and baby gem lettuce, Southern fried chicken with Maxi's hot sauce, peppers, onions and baby gem lettuce and finally the Halloumi Reuben with baby gem lettuce, crispy O's, pickles, mustard and tomato sauce. The wraps are well constructed and bites of flavor. The fajitas are also well executed and thoughtfully presented. The menu is a bit out there, but accessible to the open-minded.

I absolutely love chicken and it seems like every chicken place in the US is always deep-fried. This is grilled and so tasty. The sauces are delightful and even a person like me can have a fabulous meal cause they have a sweet chili sauce that is insanely good. Mashed potatoes are creamy and just perfect. The colorful slaw is low-calorie and taste delicious especially if you add a little of that sweet chili sauce. This is either order at the counter or order with your key QR code at the table where you can pay directly with your credit card. They do deliver your food to your table when it is done would you get your own silverware water, soda, and soda, refills and soft serve ice cream and complete array of every sauce you can imagine.. The ambience is comfortable. It's very clean and cozy with booths and tables and the walls are decorated with the shutters, like one of our finest restaurants in Sacramento. I absolutely love this place!

He told me I had to try it before I leave and that I would absolutely love it. I remember liking it, but that was before I got involved in Yelp and before I started to automatically rate and compare food establishments and tastes & flavors in my head. I'm on vacation here in Scotland and when I spotted the Nando's last night, I knew I had to have it again before I left Glasgow. Nando's is known for their peri-peri chicken, which is chicken cooked in a base/marinade/sauce made from piri piri chilis from Africa and other spices & ingredients. I ordered the Fino Pitta, which is a toasted pita filled with boneless grilled chicken at your choice of spiciness level, halloumi cheese, caramelized red onion relish, and garlic aioli. And of course I picked the Extra Hot peri-peri level of spiciness (the hottest spice level available). My pita sandwich was good. The chicken was perfectly tender and the flavoring from the chicken combined with the garlic aioli complimented each other well. P.s. my food was definitely messy though. Not giving 5 stars because service could still use some improvement.
