    The food was absolutely delicious and the service was outstanding. Very big portions and great value for money. Will definitely be back. Only downside the hand cut chips were a bit soggy and it was quite cold in the restaurant but had a lovely time overall

    Debating where to go to get your chicken fix?! Then this is the place, plenty to choose from and the wings are epic. I'd highly recommend the Korean BBQ wings 👌.

    Great food and service, but was rushed off table after 70 mins having been told we had the table for 90 mins. Was told we could finish drinks in bar but that was full. Pity because the food was great.

    We normally visit the other bucks bar in Glasgow and can never fault it as it’s amazing. This time we decided to change and try trongate. The atmosphere is nothing like the other and feels very rushed. We had our food within 20 mins of sitting down. Our food came out cold and didn’t want to wait for a replacement as we were hungry. Myself and husband left more than we ate as cold Mac n cheese ain’t that great

    The food was drowning in salt which was terrible. It really wasted the experience because im sure the food would have been beautiful had the chef not done this.

    A family favourite! Always consistent on quality and service (not to mention massive portions!). And the ambience is fantastic! My only suggestion is to rock-and-roll up the bathrooms.

    Food is good as always, the service is second to none but we were outside for dinner and the heater had packed in so it was too cold. That would be my only criticism but apart from that it was brilliant.
