Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Our children had their amazing Corn Dawgs and we enjoyed the most amazing burgers."

  • "Scotch and Rye serves one of the best quesadillas with pork or chicken fillings."
  • "Food was amazing. You can build your own burger or choose from the menu."

Cons:

Ambiance

Pros:

Cons:

  • "Be aware that the music is loud."
  • "The atmosphere was fairly nice, a bit loud for my taste but I survived."
  • "Atmosphere good but super loud."
  • "Atmosphere was diabolical. For all the 6 people that were there, between them I'd seen more smiles at a funeral that included the bar staff."
  • "We were sat at a table in a very traffic-heavy area so I got bumped by staff and customers a few times."
  • "When you're just a single diner & the staff completely ignore you because you're not worthy of service as a solo diner & put you in literally the most back dingy corner of the restaurant."

Price

Pros:

  • "Very well priced for the quality."
  • "The prices for the portion sizes are great value for money."

  • "Great food choice and very well priced for the quality."
  • "The food was amazing too and if we are ever in Inverness again will return."

Cons:

  • "For two of us we spent the best part of 40 quid and I chose this place to avoid Weatherspoons and to have a special lunch. Didn’t quite happen to be honest and that is the most upsetting part."
  • "But overall too overpriced for the experience you get."
  • "We thought it was quite expensive for what we got, you also have to add sides to what you order, so your plate for a pretty bad burger and fries would be around 17 pounds."
  • "Only got 2 stars for the craft beer which was decent all be it a bit pricey."
  • "For what they get it's quite pricey."
  • "Overpriced dbl bacon and cheese burger. Was dry and tasteless."
  • "Overpriced dbl bacon and cheese burger. For £20, this was very poor value."

Menu Variety

Pros:
