Large menu with several options for vegetarians too. The veggie hotdog didn't disappoint 🌭. We got seated right away on a Saturday night.

Had lunch here today. Very varied menu with lots of choice at reasonable prices. Cafe is in the design of a 50s style cafe with good music playing in the background. I had the the haggis dirty fries and they were fabulous.

Popped in for a bite to eat on a weds afternoon. Was seated right away (party of 3) then order took shortly after. Wasn't too busy so food and drinks come out in good time. Ordered the apache burger which comes with bacon. Good tasty burger, decent size, well seasoned with the bacon not too crispy. Chips has lots of fluffy potato in the middle and crispy on the outside however we're a bit too chunky for me. Reasonably priced, good place to come and have a decent burger.

Food was ok service was good since the waitress was by her self on the floor. She took all the orders and made the drinks her self. Well done to her. I guess mostly tourists come here for breakfast.
