Jackos Bar & Diner — Restaurant in Scotland

I was so looking forward to coming here for the first time but unfortunately I wasn’t feeling welcomed. The bar woman was judgemental, definitely is lacking knowledge about ID. I was quite surprised as a lot of people use a Young Scot card for ID. She said and I quote, “I will serve you this time.” She kept on making an arse out of herself by repeating how I need ‘better’ ID. The law is that I can be served, and quite rightly so. (Thankfully) I got served. Tbh, I did get a good laugh out of this night. I got talking to a guy but he then tried to hit my Mum up and she had zero interest, and found it strange after him talking to me 😆. Unfortunately that’s what happens to some people when they get a confidence boost, they can become arrogant, I’ve seen this many times. He did seem like a lovely guy at heart. Overall, the music was great and it wasn’t ALL bad. The barman was friendly and seemed understanding. I really don’t know if I will be back… 😅 Even if I was (pied)🤣 🙌🏼 I still had a good time...

Returning here for food for the second year. Went for a family meal, 6 of us, absolutly great! Just happened to be steak night too, bonus! So the daily specials board was wasted on us. 3 sirloins cooked to how we preferred at a generous £9.99 each. I have to say, the peppercorn sauce was one of the best I have ever had. The Mrs had fish and chips which looked just as good as the steak. The children had the Kids Chicken Nuggets with chips and the opted for beans. We all cleared the lot, even the children, and they can be particularly fussy with food, but their plates too were clean. Most opted for Hot Fudge Cake for dessert, I had vanilla ice cream and cream, yummy. One of us had apple pie and custard. Again clean plates! A lovely meal and we would definitely return. I do believe they are in the process of having a menu update, even more reason to return. All in all, 6 very good meals and desserts with no faults. Staff were very pleasant and the waiting time next to none....

We visited Jackos by chance as we were walking past from the harbour. During the day, whilst quieter, this didn't inhibit the atmosphere at all. We were promptly welcomed by the staff who were friendly and attentive, offering a choice of tables. The menu is broad but not too big to help with making a decision. We got there just before the 3pm switch from lunch to evening meals, but both menus looked delicious. I chose the haggis and cheese ciabatta, and I was not disappointed. It was gorgeous. I added some curly fries to share with the table, and these are a great addition. We enjoyed two bottles of prosecco as we were celebrating a friend's hen do. The bill was so reasonable for the 4 of us and 2 bottles of plonk. I would definitely recommend a visit to Jackos. You will be looked after, and the food is awesome. Don't walk, run there. I can't wait to be home...
