Best KPortal Reviews
The iconic Star Bar at Eglinton Toll, famous for the cheapest 3 course meal in Glasgow.
After 40 years, they reluctantly raised prices!
It is now a whopping £4 for a three course meal. I know!
Dined there today and although never likely to win a Michelin Star, it was decent nosh at an incredible price.
Andrea the manager, server, head honcho was like the Tasmanian Devil.
So efficient yet very attentive. Very friendly. Looked after our party of 7 so well.
No complaints.
A piece of Glasgow history that lives on and thrives still.
This is one of those places that hasn't changed in decades, quite the institution and well known for it's insane value 3 course meal for a few quid. I've not tried the food. Their drinks offering is truly basic. Not many beers on tap either, but you can expect to pay the cheapest price. Sadly it is still cash only. Went in on a midweek evening and it had a small crowd of very drunk old men.
Everyone in Glasgow has heard of the Star Bar and it’s infamous £4 three course lunch. Yes FOUR pounds. Madness!! But what is it like as a pub? On this visit I did not consume said lunch but did enjoy some banter and a pint. It’s pretty basic inside with a vintage Glasgow pub decor of wood and leather. Locals were mostly sober and staff friendly. I can’t complain but I reckon I’d return just to try the food
Travelled 200 miles to visit here and the lounge was really busy but the lovely lady with the blonde bobbed hair was over to serve us quickly and she never had her head up the whole time. Cheerful helpful and very pleasant she was an absolute joy to deal with. I'd fruit juice mac and cheese chips and marrowfat peas then rice pudding and fruit cocktail. My partner had the soup ashet pie...steak not home made gravy veg peas and boiled potatoes then rice pudding and fruit. The soup was hot thick stick to your ribs stuff which he thoroughly enjoyed. Ditto his pie etc and the rice pudding.....TO DIE FOR. Only rated four stars because the macaroni was pretty tasteless and lacking in seasoning but it was piping hot and a good plate of grub. The marrowfat peas I thought were the dried ones boiled no juice like you'd get in a tin which we didn't mind but aside from that winner winner. Didn't see anyone having the roasts the breaded fish looked very tasty and the lady on the opposite table was praising it highly. Hats off to the lady in the kitchen....what a grafter and she was doing the dishes food orders tidying up and must have been roasting! There's no pretentiousness or snobbery here what you see is what you get but we left stuffed and very satisfied. One lovely thing I noticed there were a lot of older folks most known to the staff and the way the staff treated them was very touching and treating them very well and with respect. A lot of the elderly are treated like they're invisible or an inconvenience but the gentleman behind the bar was old school and it was so refreshing to see and hear....Great staff and they all worked like navvies.
Was pleasantly surprised as its so cheap but food was lovely. Soup was proper old school like my granny used to make. The mince pie, chips mushy peas & gravy was delightful as was fish. Then to finish ice cream and jelly.
Three of us feed a 3 course meal with fresh orange & lemonade each for less than £20. If anyone moans then should give themselves a good shake cos you won't get better anywhere else
Atmosphere was pure authentic and nostalgic, will definitely be back to try more
I feel very lucky to have found this gem by accident. Going on the weekend for lunch has become something of a tradition now, the extremely reasonably priced lunch menu is delicious and filling and the staff are extremely friendly. It's very welcoming and easy to get to as there are multiple buses that stop nearby.
Best value 3 course meal ever!
Lovely staff and friendly locals.
Soup, mince and tatties and homemade rice pudding with fruit for £5.
Breaded fish was tasty too.
Old school but filling food.
Great bar for and drinks .music on a Saturday afternoon been serving food since the 80s . Great selection for only £4 . 3 course
