  • Neighborhood gem

The gateway to Argyll & Bute, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and then wherever your sense of adventure takes you from there.
Fresh local produce runs throughout the menu alongside expertly chosen wines. Follow that with a whisky with the locals in the bar or a cocktail by the fire in the snug.

    Overall a good meal in a nice pub restaurant. Food was good quality. I had the steak pie main which had plenty of nicely cooked beef. Wife had the ham and leek pie but she didn’t particularly enjoy the taste although, again, it had a good amount of filling. My chicken wing starter was a bit disappointing. 3 small wings for £6.95 was pretty poor value. Nicely presented but double the quantity in a basket would have been better received! Wouldn’t mind seeing a slightly improved selection of desserts. Service was excellent and the restaurant itself is very pleasant to eat in. Overall, a good meal but it felt a bit pricy for good pub food. We might be back again for a special occasion but unlikely to make it a regular thing.

    Party of 7 for bar lunch, lovely wee place spotlessly clean and freshly decorated, Penne Pasta was excellent, Steak Pie was tasty although a bit dry, the staff were attentive and pleasant Whole experience was spoiled as the place was freezing resulting in some of our party choosing to eat their lunch with winter coats on, there was a coal fire which wasn’t / could have been lit, we were there early 12:30 so possibly heating was on but not had time to heat up the place sufficiently

    Lovely cosy restaurant. Sat in one of their booths and it felt cosy and private. Good food choices and top marks for providing gluten free options. The food was very tasty and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    Really enjoyed our trip to Cardross Inn. It’s a cracking pub and the restaurant is very good too. Worth a visit.

    Waited an hour for our starters and after asking why such a long wait we were told there was only one person in the kitchen (it was Friday night). No explanation or apology without asking, we would have waited the full hour without any correspondence. Live in village and want it to work but constantly disappointed whenever we go for dinner. Owner/management should take responsibility and sort the mess out.

    Basic good Inn/Pub menu. A bit limited on the fish side of the options. Very friendly service.
