Customer Review Summary
Burgers draw the most praise at Brodies, with reviewers singling out the Scottish burger and the BBQ bacon cheese burger as excellent, and close behind come the hash browns, a toastie with loads of filling, the turkey dinner, steak and ale pie, and fish and chips. Staff earn near-universal warmth, described as lovely and as people who couldn't do enough, including one who found a seat at the bar for the rugby. The kitchen is where the complaints sit. Several reviewers found dishes bland or dry, naming bacon pancakes with rock solid bacon, a chicken parm and chicken and grapefruit salad that were under-seasoned, and a katsu curry that was bitter with dry chicken. One reviewer felt three chicken tacos were skimpy for the money. One reviewer reports being ill with cramps and diarrhoea hours after eating there and questions the kitchen's hygiene. One visitor on a busy Friday night found it jam packed with very young people, while a Tuesday evening was described as quiet and chilled. A German lager at a low price accompanied one reviewer's turkey dinner.

“Would like to say first the service was great, really lovely staff and great atmosphere, however the food was less than good. I had bacon pancakes and you could have made boots from the bacon it was rock solid, my partner had the chicken tacos which were nice but £17 for three tacos which had approximately 2 chicken goujons split up across them seems ridiculous, almost sent it back but felt bad enough about the bacon. Server seemed almost embarrassed, no wonder everywhere else was packed out and we were the only ones eating there. tried to ward off another table who sat down after we finished but no luck, hope they survived!”

“Had crispy tofu which was the only decent thing. Other starter was the gochujang chicken that only tasted of normal spicy sauce instead of gochujang. Also chicken bone dry. Mains were a katsu chicken curry, horribly bitter and dry, and coconut Thai green curry with chicken. Again chicken dry and the curry didn't have the slightest hint of coconut. Rice in both curries was also on the soft end. Shame, because the staff was awesome.”

“We went for food and drinks and to watch the rugby ! We were so grateful the food service was fast and the Scottish burger was delicious! The lovely staff member was able to snag us a seat at the bar area so we could comfortably watch the game! Thank you so much!”

“Ate there with a friend in the afternoon by 9pm we were both very ill with cramps and diarrhoea this lasted several hours and ruined our evening, clearly food poisoning as this was the only thing we ate all day. Raises serious questions regarding food hygiene practises in the kitchen.”
