We were hungry and just from the name and branding, we decided to take a shot on the idea that anything suggesting a barn full of livestock would likely provide a filling meal. We were not disappointed. We were asked if we had a reservation, which we didn't, but we were still able to get a table near the bar area around 5:30pm without a wait. Service was very attentive and friendly, even as the room began to fill up. I went for the Steak & Ale Pie and the husband went for a T-bone style Steak. Both were cooked perfectly and just flavorful enough while leaving a little room to add more salt or pepper for our own tastes. As an American, I of course had to have ketchup with my chips, and laughed at the big red tomato bottle they brought to the table as I shamelessly doused my fried potatoes in ketchup. We didn't find a less expensive or more satisfying meal along our travels after that- but we were so full after our meal at Stables- we couldn't have even tried one if we'd found it.

My husband got the eggs Benedict and he was pleased it had black pudding in the middle, very Scottish food of course. He did not care for the hollandaise sauce as it had a sweetness to it. I wasn't super hungry as I was saving room for our lunch at 1pm. I got two poached eggs and toast. The poached eggs were a bit runny for my liking. Overall though this is a great cafe and I like the layout. The service was very friendly. They were setting up a bunch of reserved tables for what looked like a fancy lunch. Lot of people were working there at the time and I assume prepping for a big party.

The staff greeted us warmly and invited us in to their warm and cozy establishment. This is small town Scotland at its best. I was surprised at the worldliness of the Salt and Pepper Asian-style fries on the Daily Specials board. They were amazing as was my "Hybrid Toastie" - essentially a Scottish patty melt. Not that it was mundane in any sense. It was delicious! I washed these down with a Diet Irn Bru - the guilt-free version of Scotland's most popular soda. Once again - another great meal with friendly service. Nowhere close to Edinburgh, yet still with that flair of sophistication mixed with small-town civility.

We were very fortunate to come across this place as we left dinner to the very last minute and had…read moreforgotten to pre-book somewhere to eat. Not a single bad word can be said about this place. The food was absolutely incredible, staff was terrific and the whole theme was very unexpected to see in Dunoon. We had ordered a Calzone (with a side of chips) and the Cajun Chicken with chips, both of which came with a wee portion of coleslaw. The chicken melted in your mouth and was seasoned beautifully. The calzone was baked instead of fried and was the BEST calzone I have ever had. The chips were perfect and even the coleslaw was delicious (and I don't even like coleslaw!). We spoke to who we believe is the owner and he was very friendly and approachable and our server was a woman who could not have been better. Her service was as perfect as our meals. We highly recommend The 51st State Bar & Grill and will definitely be back next time we are in Dunoon.

A five-star view, with caveats…read more First off the Drift Inn is without a doubt the best place to eat and drink in Lamlash. We've tried the competition and frankly the Drift has the best beer and Scotch selection, food, and atmosphere. Inside it's a restaurant, outside it's a country pub with lots of well-spaced outdoor seating. It has the basics food-wise down pat. Huge fish and chips and excellent mussels - in the latter case just the right size between tasty and chewy. A great wine and beer selection and excellent service. The one down side was an overly-promised starter. Spending 15 quid on a few tiny bits of food artfully arranged stuck in the craw somewhat. But what the hell, they're nice people and the rest of it was superb.

I loved this pub and the food was probably the best we had on Arran. I actually didn't know about…read morethis place until the day before we left to go to Arran when I had 4 different people recommend it to me - I knew we had to go from that fact alone! It's in the lovely town of Lamlash and really easy to find. We parked along the road and then walked down as we were there quite early and it didn't open til midday. There's a beautiful view over the water to Holy Isle and you can get a ferry over if you're so inclined - we decided to just appreciate it from afar. The pub itself is kind of nautical/rugby themed and really cosy inside - there's a fireplace and lots of seating as well as some couches and a kids area. I ordered a bowl of Cullen Skink (Scottish haddock soup) as well as the Angler's Platter for one (Creeler's hot and cold smoked salmon, seafood and soft cheese mousse, fishcake and homemade bread). The soup was just delicious - I don't eat Cullen Skink enough and when I have one as good as this, I wonder why - thick, jam packed with fish and really tasty. I loved the platter too - the fish cake was the highlight for sure, but everything on it was so tasty and I loved how local it all was. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and we enjoyed grazing here for a while. They have a great booze selection but as I was driving I didn't have any - next time we visit I would definitely see about getting the bus or a taxi here from Brodick so we could get stuck into the gin! Note: they have gluten free bread, breadcumb and batters are available upon request.

Highlight for me was the haddock and chips with the mushy peas, Best fish and chips I've had in a while primarily because they had it was cooked in such away wasn't greasy and the mushy peas were actual real piece that were slightly mashed and nicely seasoned and tasted of peas. I tried my wife's grass fed steak and It was top notch . This together with the seasonal vegetables was well received. Kids had desserts at the end, all in all a great family restaurant and very nice service. A must for those wanting a slightly higher end dining experience after a long hike during the day.
