Comfy outdoor seatings, quick service, friendly staff and humungous tasty burgers and onion rings. Definitely going back when I’m next in Rutherglen. That’s all vegetarian burger filled with natural delights.

We stopped here after traveling all day, we were pleasantly surprised with our delicious cheese burger & fisherman’s basket, absolutely the best, highly recommend you stop here, the staff were very busy as it was a Friday night but they were very professional & extremely friendly.

Love to swing by this place whenever we are passing through Rutherglen. The veggie burger is fantastic - it’s basically a potato cake with the lot (inc avo, pineapple and beetroot) Why more places don’t do their veggie burgers like this is a mystery to me. Beats a veggie patty any day!
