Georgie Porgies — Restaurant in Scotland

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Omleltte was Good, The Bad was the greasy frozen chips and the Ugly was definitely me. Such a shame this friendly little cafe was let down by some of the worst chips it has been my unfortunate experience to be served in a lifetime of visiting small cafes in Glasgow..

Everything else was great. The service was quick, the staff were pleasant, and the prices were decent. Small touches like a couple of newspapers for customers to browse didn't go unnoticed and was appreciated.

The bottom line for the existence of cafes is people go there to eat, and when the food is bad it has to be noted so the owners can do somethiung about it.

It takes a lot of effort or carelessness to ruin chips, but sadly Georgie Porgie managed it. There is of course no recipe as such so changing the raw material might be the answer and cooking at the correct temperature for the correct length of time avoids being served the horrible plate of semi-crispy greasy things I was presented with.

Where skill was required, in the cooking of my omelette, I was pleasantly surprised with a well cooked tasty treat, so there is obviously someone who knows how to cook which makes the nasty chips a puzzle to understand.

C'mon Georgie....

I tried to place an order for home delivery online as I was sick with Covid. I was looking forward to ordering lunch as it is good quality though a bit overpriced.

I tried to order using an online delivery app. It was unable to place the order. So I phoned the cafe and a member of staff said they were unable to place an order for home delivery because there were no drivers in the area.

This was a lie because I was able to place an order for delivery with an establishment less than 400 metres away. I do not appreciate the dishonesty. I am aware the cafe can get extremely busy at times....

Terrible service, slower than a week in the jail. Been a loyal customer for months and the standard of quality has did nothing but deteriorate. They have lost the privilege of our custom now and the hundreds of pounds we spend a month in what is probably the worst cafe for breakfast rolls in Glasgow.

it's not hard to source good produce and fry...
