A lovely little diner located in Stirling…read more The diner itself is quite small and I'd reccommend making a booking around peak times. It's definitely not fancy or dressy, it's pretty laid back and the breakfasts are incredibly cheap. Coming in for lunch, we both ordered the specials off the menu- beef with mushroom and cream sauce for me and Thai beef for my pal- both served as sandwiches with fries which we swapped for salad topped with sweet potato without issue. It's very much all about home cooking, which is why i cant understand why breakfasts range between £3-7 and the mains jump to £18-19. For what it was, the food was good. We also ordered coffee and homemade carrot cake which was delightful. The owner of Gabe's was a really friendly man, though he did push the specials quite strongly- we even planned o order the ceasar salad but he continued to push the beef so we just changed out order. Overall a nice place if you're in the area.

Sunday and Brunch go hand in hand. Or at least they should…read more After a busy morning trawling around Garden centres, my brother and I were excited to try eating in Gabe's Diner. Unfortunately, this was not to be. While it was quite busy when we arrived there were visibly still a number of tables free and we were shown to a table within about four minutes. The tables themselves were clean, but the menus on the tables left a greasy feeling on my hands. After being seated we were left sitting for 14 minutes before someone came over to ask us what we wanted. My order was taken fine, but when my brother asked what was in the homemade milkshakes the waiting staff had to go and look it up, after finding out what flavours were available, a second member of staff came over to ask if he could pick something else as it took too long to prepare a milkshake and they were very busy. Now a small diner running out of stock half way through the service is one thing, but to ask a paying customer not to order something because it takes too long to make, seems a little cheeky to me. Giving them the benefit of the doubt my brother ordered a latte he didn't particularly want before going on to order the scrambled eggs, with bacon served on a toasted bagel. And that as they say, is where the straw broke the camels back. They had unfortunately run out of bagels, and rather than asking whether a toast substitute was acceptable just presumed it would be fine and went straight on to offer brown or white bread. We made the executive decision to walk out after this, too many little things just hadn't gone to plan, and add to that the waiting time between being seated and a drinks order being taken, neither of us felt compelled to stay. Perhaps this time just wasn't meant to be, and I'd like to think I'd go back and actually try the food sometime, but this experience was enough to put me off going back for quite a while.

Stopped in here for lunch before heading to our Hotel for the evening…read more First thing, this is unique to me as an American so it was neat, you use an ap to order at your table, or you can go to the bar and place the order. You don't interact with any one until they bring you your drinks. We ordered a Pizza, Scampi (fried shrimp) and the fish & chips and Pepsi. Pepsi here is by the 1/2 pint or Pint. Or some places you can pay for additional refills. Its not an automatically guaranteed thing. The pizza was undercooked, but my friend ate it anyway. He said the flavour was good, but the crust was pretty mierable. I ordered the Fish & chips, The fish was tasty, the chips were ok, and I don't care for frozen peas. My friend enjoyed her scampi and joined the clean plate club.

The staff were friendly, helpful & accommodating. We ordered cocktails (Margarita & Spicy Bloody Mary) A little on the expensive side, but large and worth every penny, cool, refreshing & enough to last the meal. The menu is varied & pleasing to both the eye and the wallet. We both had burgers, my wife choosing a double burger tower , with myself ordering a spinach & falafel burger, both with delicious hand cooked fries and salad. All meals are freshly made on site, but with perfect company & a wonderful view to soak up, the wait seemed momentary. Everything about the Boathouse is warm and inviting. I look forward to our next visit. 10/10

Hahahahaha. I'm really not sure how to review this pub but I will give it a shot. We visited here…read moreon a Friday afternoon while in Stirling as my Aussie friend requested an "old man pub with a fire". Stirling's resident Yelp expert, Nicola C recommended here with the disclaimer of "I don't know what it's like during the day though." So, my friend and I pitched up to be greeted by two regulars at the door who told us the pub was closed. "Awwww, really?" I said. "Naw hen!" followed by much guffawing on their behalf. In we stumbled, both having a laugh at the two oldies. The bar was empty apart from one other old gent which seems reasonable for 4.30pm on a Friday. We got a couple of drinks (Thistly Cross bottles for £3.50 each which is what I pay for them in the supermarket!) and sat by the fire (which thankfully someone came and stoked the hell out of so it was absolutely roaring, and scorching hot). The bar had a nice relaxed vibe. By the time we were leaving one of the regulars was well steaming and came over to talk to the Australian lassies and generally give us a bit of a ribbing. He got us to sign the visitors book and was generally pretty funny - I even got a kiss as I was leaving. Lucky me. So, would I recommend going here? Yes, I definitely would, even just for the laughs you'll have. The fire was warm, the seats were comfy and they had a nice selection of crisps/chips for snacking on. Thanks for the recommendation Nicola!
