Old Salty's — Restaurant in Scotland

We had a Fathers Day lunch booked here which we were really looking forward to. We were greeted by some very friendly staff and shown to our table. 15 minutes later our drinks order was taken and then the drinks were brought about 10 minutes later. Our waitress left without taking our food order, so when 40 minutes had went passed since we arrived with no food order taken, I had to go looking for someone. We had a child with us but no kids menu was offered so we just ordered from the main menu for him. When our food finally arrived it was tasty, we ordered the kebabs which were lovely but luke warm. Our son had asked for a plain chicken burger but it arrived with everything on it. By the time our food arrived we only a short amount of time to eat as we had another engagement so the whole thing was rushed because our food order wasn't taken for so long. On top of that my husband ordered a second drink which we were billed for but he never received it. Thank goodness I checked the bill before I paid. On the whole it is a lovely wee place but I dont know what happened that day. I felt as if the waitress was annoyed at me but the events which happened were not my fault. One of the other waitresses did apologies for our wait when we were leaving which was nice but really it should have been the waitress serving us. This was our first visit here and it did not leave us with a good impression...

I am leaving a negative review despite the actual food being of good quality. The restaurant charged us for items we did not have and having messaged them several times on Facebook and phoned them with no answer I cannot recommend this restaurant. Perhaps it was an error by the server but based on them completely ignoring me I can’t determine this, if they adding an item or two onto every customer that’s easily enough for a full table or two a night.

We booked a table at 6pm for 3 and arrived, we were then put on a table for 6, we asked if there was confusion about us arriving at 6 and offered to move and were told don’t worry about it, several minutes later a table of 6 were crammed into a table of 4 next to us and were all quite unhappy and moaning the entire time. We ordered the stuf, 2 macaronis and a burger and then ten minutes later the server came back to us asking us to confirm we’d ordered a steak pie and we said no.

The place itself is nice and clearly popular with locals as its busy inside however they do takeaways as well who all block the entrance to the tables and don’t have a system to separate the dine ins and takeaways.

If you fancy items on the menu you will have a good meal but absolutely check the bill before paying or else you could be ripped...

Tremendously overrated, bagged salad, slow service and selective seating. Some guests waited for 10 minutes before leaving, others sit outside and are forgotten, thosed deemed 'the right sort' by the hostess are seated immediately.

I was seated on a stool by the door, for a continuous crowd of wet and soon to be dissapointed punters to brush past me. I honestly feel discriminated against and I regret not leaving at that point.

I finished my food as quickly as possible and then had to get up and chase one of the servers to pay, complete joke. She was far more accomodating to another set of lads who came in as I was leaving, even asking if they were sure they didn't want to sit upstairs (at the actual tables).

The macaroni pie is a nice novelty if you're visting and the fish was cooked well but the chips are bland and most of the menu is psuedo-italian food.

Overall this place is not worth the trip and I regret not asking for the gratuity to be removed. It seems that there are other reviews that also mention racism which speaks to the intelligence of...
