Customer Review Summary
Burgers dominate the praise here, with the pit burger and its dragon fries drawing repeated enthusiasm, alongside the patriot burger, the Oklahoma Stack, and the cauli wings singled out as a go-to order. The beer selection comes in close behind, with wingman, black heart, and the cookie stout getting specific mentions, and several reviewers note staff who offer knowledgeable suggestions on what to drink. Desserts also earn attention, from the chocolate cake to fried Oreo cookies, with one family noting staff didn't charge them after a long wait for the latter. One reviewer, however, describes the haggis fritters as over-fried with a thick, greasy batter and found their pints of black heart flat that visit, calling for kitchen retraining. Atmosphere is described as buzzing when full, though a couple of quieter late-afternoon visits are mentioned. Several reviewers say they plan to return.

“My colleague and I both ordered the haggis burgers, and unfortunately, the experience was significantly below expectations. The "crispy haggis fritters" appeared to be over-fried to the point that the haggis content was negligible. The batter was roughly 10mm thick; rather than being crispy, it was solid and acted as a grease sponge. I would strongly recommend either removing this item from the menu or providing further training for the kitchen staff. Additionally, the two pints of Black Heart lacked the usual high quality. Both were flat and lacked the signature creamy head. We were looking forward to catching up over a great meal, but that simply wasn't the case on this occasion.”

“Wings Wednesday was really good and a great challenge. Reece kept us fed with loads of chicken throughout our 1.5hrs and gave us brilliant service. A special thanks to Ed Hardy ;)”

“The atmosphere is always buzzing, the beer selection is second to none, and the food is outstanding. I'm a huge fan of their burgers, which are always juicy and flavourful...the best I've had in a long time and closest burger I've had that can compete with the states. But the real game-changer for me are the cauli wings. They are truly amazing... perfectly crunchy, saucy, and so delicious that they've become my go-to order. The staff are always friendly and knowledgeable about the beers, making the whole experience top tier. Whether you're a craft beer connoisseur or just looking for great food and a good time, BrewDog is the one.”
