  “Ordered breakfast as not feeling well. Food arrived soggy cold and under cooked. Bacon was white eggs all gooey pancakes were rotten. Used to be lovely in here been loads off time never had an issue but it's massively went down hill.”

  “I ordered food for delivery as I am not well. The scrambled egg roll was so soggy it fell apart, The tuna mayonnaise sandwich was basically two bits of bread with filling and thrown into box. Presentation was disgraceful, it wouldn't be fit for purpose in any culinary aspect. How on earth you think this is at all acceptable to send food out like that is unbelievable!! Not at all acceptable!!! Not a good representation og your establishment!!”

  “What happened to this amazing place? I don’t know. First time ever I will say that food was absolutely horrible , not sure I will be coming back. Very sad, because Helen’s always even best place to have nice homely food. Such a shame”

  “We have always loved going to Helen’s Café in Ayr and often called it a little hidden gem. Unfortunately, on our most recent visit the experience was very disappointing. …”

  “We stayed in Ayr August 25 and happened upon Helen's just off the high st as it was dog friendly! Not only did the Family enjoy a lovely meal , our Dashund Matilda enjoyed a plate of chicken and bowl water too. The Staff where Great and one of the Young Waitresses suggested Cumbrae to visit as the ferry's to Arron where all booked . We did this next day and that was great too. We visited Helens once more before we left and the meal and staff again lovely worth a visit . Thank you x”

  “This is got to be the worst place to go for breakfast it’s called Helen’s / it should be called howling !!! I went here for the first time and definitely my last time absolutely disqusting food everything about it the smell of the tunnel leading down to the shop was just horrendous it smelled like a mix of dead bodies and rotten fish, I got my son a beef burger and it was so thin you could barley see it the burgers they use are from Farmfoods there 10 for £1.50 and have the cheek to charge £5 a pop , they use very cheap products mayonnaise from aldi tomato sauce from aldi etc , don’t recommend this place to my worst enemy its that bad my son was giving a burger bun harder than a bank safe 😂 , spent £46.75 here and it wasnt even worth £2 mac and chips was 12.50 alone and it was asiff she had mixed raw egg with milk to make the sauce !! maybe if the women was less interested in trying to make herself look better rather than looking after her cafe it might improve the slightest but definitely never be back here again utterly disappointing , people like this shouldn’t be in the food industry if they don’t know how to run it properly / didn’t wash hands / rude attitude / very high prices for extremely low product / SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN HAS RAT TRAPS OUT IN THE OPEN SITTING AREA THE MAN IN THE BACK HAS LONG GREASY HAIR AND IS HANGING OVER YOUNASKING ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS EVERYTHING OK WHILE SLABBERING”

  “No natural light here but despite that the restaurant was quite busy and the waitress was friendly and helpful. We just went in for snack lunches. Note the breakfast menu is served all day, which is a nice touch. The restaurant has a sort of homely, old-fashioned atmosphere. The actual food was average.”

  “Lovely place to eat. Got recommended to come here by the staff at Keepsake in Ayr. Very dog friendly, both dogs had some chicken from the staff which they wolfed down. Lentil soup was tasty and chunky. Jacket potatoes had plenty of filling in it. I would recommend this.”

  “From the outside doesn't look very much, however once inside you could tell it's a local favourite it was busy. Starters were stand your spoon up potato and leek with proper chunks of potato. Main course was baked potato with steak mince. …”

  “Helen's restaurant was an excellent place to eat. I ordered the 9 piece breakfast where you order 9 of whatever you want. The food was cooked fresh & hot, the staff were pleasant and on top of their game, and it's a quaint cheap & cheerful place for a quick snack or a 3 course meal. Awesome stuff.”
