Went to this eating house/pub last night after a recommendation from my sister Loretta. I went with 2 old work colleagues from Woodilee Hospital. As soon as we arrived the welcome was great from the Manager Simon (I think was his name), We sat down and our food was at our table in no time. 2 Ribeye steaks and a steak pie (In an enamel dish which we thought was a nice touch. Our meals were fantastic and very tasty and plentiful. The waitresses were brilliant and very attentive and joined in our banter which was nice. The price for the 3 of us with wine was excellent. Would I recommend this place, "Definitely" and I cant wait to go back.
Had the most fantastic meal last night with my partner (steak and chips ) food cooked to perfection and lovely presentation . The staff were very accommodating and always happy to help . We had a really nice evening , food to die for would definitely recommend

Been here a few times and always thoroughly enjoyed it. Took the kids tonight who also loved it . Was very busy but table had been booked and kept for us by Simon. My Food was amazing , I had the chilli burger ... Kids meals great , kids burger was particularly tasty . My partner had the tomahawk ! Looked incredible and tasted incredible! Outstanding service by all of the staff members and food was fabulous . Kirky has been needing a place like this for a very long time !
Myself and 3 friends went for food last night at the Lion and Star .The staff were very attentive without being overly pushy or annoying .2 of us had fish and chips and 2 had the chicken skewers and we all enjoyed our meal .It was my first time in for food but will definitely be back - probably for the Knickerbocker glory ! Thank u to the staff !
Had my birthday meal here last night there was 9 of us, the food was outstanding, so fresh and tasty not 1 complaint from anyone, lots of empty plates from starters to main courses, food has been brilliant anytime we have came here, had a lovely strawberry daiquiri which I loved, only 1 issue and that was the length of time we had to wait on food coming and drinks, only 2 lovely boys working the floor/bar and we did have to wait a considerable amount of time for drinks, and quite some time from the kitchen from the time we had starter till main course, cannot fault the staff at all as they were doing their best but maybe a little more staff in as there was a good few tables full for meals. Still 5 � tho as everything was lovely and yes the embarrassing bringing out of the birthday cake and singing to me as well happened. Xxx
I went last night with 2 friends, the service was outstanding, we ordered our food and it came in no time at all. The portion sizes were fantastic and it all tasted delicious. With 2 of us being vegetarian and my other friend was vegan the manager went out of his way to make sure that we all got food that we could eat. When we asked for coffee' s Etc they had no soya milk so they sent someone over to Sainsbury which is just behind the lion and star to go and get some for us. They could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend.
Just had a great night in the Lion & Star. Burns night food was superb. A few tasty drinks and an excellent selection of rum and whisky. Why have I not visited this place before now? Highly recommended.
We had lunch today. The waitress was really friendly, helpful and nice. What I ordered was cold so they took it away and gave me a new plate of food, apologised profusely and didn’t charge me for the meal. What I had was very tasty too.
Great evening spent with the kids for an end of term treat. Food was great and service was great with a friendly atmosphere. Will be back child free to sample the cocktails �
What a great place, the staff were very friendly and attentive and couldn’t do enough for you, the food was lovely and very reasonable prices especially the 2 main courses and bottle of Presecco for £20 Mon-Thurs deal.
The place itself is nicely decorated bright and and has a nice wee atmosphere.
The staff are always really lovely and helpful and go the extra mile to make sure everything's right. We've been a few times and the steak meals are fantastic and great value. The food is delicious and the Lion and Star serves the best onion rings ever! It could do with a wee make over but the food and service make up for that.
Amazing food and nice staff. It has a really nice ambiance, but at the same time if feels like a small town pub. The menu is good, and it has offers for everyone, even vegetarians, and what we ordered was pretty amazing. Will definitely go back when around, and recommend!!
Popped in for lunch with family. Were seated quickly with drinks orders taken. Didn't have to wait long for our order, food was delicious hot and fresh with huuge portions, definitely come here again!
A complete turn around from the previous establishment. Popped in for some lunch, staff were welcoming and friendly and even provided some distraction for my three year old daughter. Food was well prepared and the my choice of the club sandwich was a home run. A real hidden local gem of a restaurant. Bar looked really well stocked also and a great selection of soft drinks. We'll be back!
Really enjoyed my visit to the lion and star. Its always a place I've felt relaxed and most comfortable. I always have my americano. I used to have my slice of delicious cake, but I'm dieting just now, so that's out the window unfortunately. I would absolutely recommend this place both to have drinks, whether that's soft drinks to alcohol drinks or to sit down and have a meal , from a wide choice of their delicious menu.
Dropped in for dinner on the way home. Not disappointed 😋 The steak pie and the scampi with chips with skins were delicious. The staff were very welcoming and it was spotless. Our meal deal was fantastic, with two mains and a bottle of Prosecco for £20 available on Thursdays.
amazing! found a bug in my soup thought it added some flavour absolutely loved it would definitely recommend x
Had lunch today on the eat out to help out scheme. Food as always, was yummy and the atmosphere was pleasant. We expected to wait a bit longer due to current restrictions but 50mins is a long time to wait for 2 mains, and 20mins for 2 soft drinks. Service needs to speed up.
Started with a sharing plate and couple of side dishes.... Food was great and far lore than we expected. Service waz quick and staff were very attentive. Great place for lunch.
I once ate 44 plates at a Yo Sushi all you can eat hour. I was defeated by Lion and Star's £8 veggie burger. So. Much. Food. And it was really nice. The £9 ploughman's would have been enough for two of us, and was beautifully presented. We needed a doggy bag, which they provided (cardboard, not polystyrene!) Staff were super friendly and attentive. Extensive cocktail menu and a variety of draught offerings. Wheelchair accessible entrance, though toilets were tucked away at the back so a bit of a slalem with a mobility aid. There's a children's area away from the bar, and booths can be reserved. Music not loud, but it's a medium sized venue so patrons were quite loud :D
Went into the lion and star before work for a spot of lunch was greeted and seated by the staff on shift I ordered the dirty denvor fries the food that arrived at my table was amazing and the portions where huge compliments to the chef on today will certainly be back
Food delicious, staff are friendly and helpful, can be hit or miss in the evenings at weekends whether its busy or not. Price of drinks are a bit high for a pub diner in Kirkintilloch but not prohibitively so. Real world is you don't really get much change from a tenner for a couple of pints. All said and done nice friendly atmosphere, prodominant age group seems to be late thirties plus but that is observations only from my limited experience there. It may be quite different I'm sure during the week and through the day. Worth a visit.
I am a regular customer here and until now I’ve never been disappointed with my order. We ordered a burger, the Lyon grill, potato skins, and a dessert. The burger and chips were delicious but missing coleslaw. The Lyon grill was over cooked and missing sausage, egg, and garlic bread. The potato skins and lemon cake were also missing from the order. Instead we received a container with some blob of I don’t know what and half a spoilt cheesecake. I would like to give the restaurant a chance to rectify the situation but the phone is off the line.
UPDATE: I was contacted by manager Simon who was very apologetic and concerned with how the order turned out the way it had. He ammended the situation and sent out a new order of food. Absolutely delicious! Im very happy with how the situation was handled in the end.
