Highly recommend. We had the set lunch menu which was great value for fresh, seasonal Scottish ingredients turned into beautiful and delicious plates of food. Great friendly service and overall a lovely Saturday lunchtime.
* Starter of Crab Fish Cakes with Mango & Coriander Salsa
* Main of Roast Sage and Apple Stuffed Pork Fillet in Cider Cream with Dauphinoise Potatoes and Greens
* Dessert of tablet cheesecake
The crab fish cakes were so light and fluffy, you only knew by the taste that it was in your mouth!
The pork was perfectly poised in a to-die-for cream, and the green veg drizzled in a delicious sauce/oil/not-quite-sure-what-it-was....but it was heavenly nonetheless!
And as for the orgasmic (uh-huh, I really did say that!) tablet cheesecake - yes, calorific BUT, as with all the dishes, there was just the right amount on the plate. Not too much and not too little.
I would highly recommend Ian Brown's at Giffnock - compact and bijou but very friendly. I'll be back - Sunday lunch next time!
P.S. And such adorable teapots.... they can be bought from a website called 'Typhoon' so I was told. (The website looks Chinese, so not to be mistaken by other sites of the same name).
Fabulous trout, followed by scrummy chambord Creme brûlée accompanied by a delicious full flavoured red. But not only that we were welcomed as old friends.....this is only our third visit over about 4 years, as it is 'treating yourselves ' prices, but worth it!
Fantastic , tasty Sunday lunch . Very busy but great service and as they knew I needed to be away by 2 they delivered an even speedier service . Lovely place with great food and delightful staff
Great service, great food and a welcoming atmosphere in this south side restaurant.
Easily the best eaterie this side of the river. This is the quality and standards that all the local restaurants need to provide to earn a 5 star rating
Had an absolutely fabulous meal here .. the atmosphere was warm, welcoming and relaxing. Service first class and the food was a delight !!!! Will definitely come back again .....
Amazing! Gorgeous starters, perfectly cooked steaks, delicious sides, and desserts to die for. Add in lovely staff and you have the perfect local restaurant!

Good fresh ingredients, wonderfully prepared, and served with aplomb, the wine list is more reasonably priced than most restaurants. Unpretentious and delicious
Great food, great service & a really friendly vibe. If you haven't been yet then I suggest you go soon. You will not be disappointed.
First time visit and we loved it. Food amazing, great atmosphere great service. What more can I say! We will be back! Would like to sample the whole menu!
Fantastic local restaurant, food brilliant as always, seriously need to some here more often as it's on my doorstep. Food and service is brilliant, will be a shame when they sell up
This place is incredible. I took my family, and they also raved about it. I have a vegetarian amongst us and they also were delighted at the menu. Food, service, superb. The triple cooked chips are a must. The Jamaican banana crumble, cooked to order is incredible. Get it booked👍

Very friendly staff and great food. Food was cooked to perfection, leave room for dessert. I had the apple and rhubarb crumble, delicious. Thank you for a wonderful lunch. Highly recommended.
Before it was a trend Ian Brown was all about food provenance and seasonality. He's so slick at it now that you could take it for granted. If you want to eat fresh, Scottish food, cooked to order for you by an experienced chef who is personally there on the tools here is the place. Ians wife runs the room and really adds to the experience with on point customer interaction. Go!
Fantastic experience. Food beautifully cooked and presented. Brilliant ambience and lovely hosts. Only 5 stars as it won't let us give more. Will defo be back. :-)

Wow, this was a truly delicious meal. Can highly recommend haddock thermidor. But to be honest, I've never had a bad meal here. Very reasonably priced being from their daily specials menu, too. Service is always perfect.
Yet another delightful IBF&D experience.
Fabulous food, amazing staff, great drinks selection.
Easily 10/10
Giffnock can compete with Glasgow's best in terms of food quality and service. Honey glazed beetroot was most appetising. Followed by venison that was cooked to perfection. Wife had crab fishcakes (3 mini) and delicious baked cod. Good selection of reasonably priced wines to complement food. Service efficient and friendly. Overall atmosphere buzzy and happy.
Great food, wine, atmosphere and service. Heartily recommended.
And yes, the logo matches the man... Next time we hope to see the unmasked version. Cheers.
A lovely little gem of a place.
Passed it on my way to a meeting a few days earlier and looked it up. Seeing the lovely reviews, we decided to give it a go for a night out for our anniversary. We were not disappointed. Really excellent food with incredibly lovely front of house staff and a very calm and chilled atmosphere. A great wee find, We will be back.
Food was excellent, service also excellent. Staff very friendly.
Highly recommend

Great little restaurant on southside. The quality of the dishes was excellent. The front of house staff very attentive and helpful, with great advice on the dishes. Wonderful atmosphere, and the service and quality can be seen by the locals. Having visited during a family visit to Scotland we envy the residents who have this place as their local.
Great restaurant, great food, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Always go back to the Great Kitchen 😁
Was with a group of friends... excellent service and fantastic food.
