Tables open. Couple in front left and told us we might as well go. Waited about 10 more min and another couple showed up without reservations and were seated ahead of 8 of us patiently waiting outside... I went in and the hostess essentially waved a baseball "safe" motion and said no more seating for tonight. I told her there were 8 people outside and I would inform everyone outside that they were done for the night since she wasn't telling anyone anything outside... Unbelievable how disorganized they were. Where is the owner? Manager? We tried to make a reservation earlier on their web site and it didn't work. Also sent an email and that didn't get us anywhere (can you say ghost?). FYI: they seat at 5 to 9pm and we were there at 7ish.

Why they have an attitude is very odd and does not help the restaurant at all.

We were thrilled to find a gluten-free vegan cottage pie on the menu, and the ambiance is really inviting. Good drinks menu too.

Luckily, there was a friendly couple who offered to push one of their tables apart for us. The menu consists of mainly sandwiches and burgers.

The first thing to know about The Crofters is that it fills up quickly. They have a sign out…read morefront that says "Sorry We're Full". Don't despair, they turn the sign around so that it reads, "please wait to be seated". So if you don't arrive early you can hang around and wait until someone leaves and then you can arrive in confidence. The selections are traditional Scottish fare and well made. My roast beef was a little tough but tasty nonetheless. My guests had the fish and chips and they really enjoyed their dishes except for the peas. However, the peas only played a supporting role on their plates. The Crofter is very popular and the atmosphere is fun. Come for a pint or a meal. Today is our final day in Fort William so we will dine elsewhere tomorrow.

I love salad and found theirs to be teeny tiny. I wanted more than a bite of apple and a bite of beet. I ordered the special mussels. They were large and sweet. I was surprised to tons them bathed in a rich cream sauce as that was not mentioned on the menu description. Didn't taste or see garlic or shallots, just a sprinkling of chive. My husband had a burger with haggis. We ordered a honey ice cream with fresh fruit. Here again, the portion was large but the fruit was barely there. The waitress was charming and attentive. The restaurant is attached to a bar. I think the entire town was there tonight.

The more surprising thing is that this oversight hadn't even occurred to us until we sat down for lunch at the Bridge Cafe and saw that a couple of different breakfast plates were on option. It was not too late! I think we both went with the "Wee Yin," which was only £6 and came with an egg, meat (lorne sausage for me), bacon, a tattie scone, beans, and toast. I don't think I have a small appetite, but this was plenty. (The "Big Yin" adds additional good stuff for £2.5 more: haggis, black pudding, and mushrooms. I'd have to wait till the next morning to get some haggis and black pudding...) This was simple but hearty eating, and very satisfying at the midpoint of a drive from Skye back to the Edinburgh area. Spean Bridge is a charming little place, and this spotless cafe is colorful, has plenty of natural light, and a cheerful air to it. At one point, a couple of the young servers picked up instruments (acoustic guitar and accordion) just behind us, and I thought we were going to be subjected to acoustic jam versions of pop songs, just like those dreaded at a certain chain sandwich shop in the States. But this was pretty great, just an interlude of a couple of sprightly yet gentle instrumentals, and then they were back to their tables. Excellent spot.
