The Cabin

Great meal but a couple of things let the cabin down tonight — we were told there would be entrainment and the closest we go was the staff fighting in the kitchen
Also they have attempted to do the cabin up a coat of paint was fine but one of the charms was that nothing matched — odd tables chairs cutlery now thay have changed almost all of the chairs — bit of advice either change them all or none of them

This used to be a hip place to go in west end. Lovely meal but on the whole a tad disappointing as no atmosphere at all. Supposed to have entertainment tonight but nothing!

What can I say? Five stars doesn’t even come close to how much this unassuming little eatery impressed me. From the cosy, nautical vintage themed décor, to the warm and friendly staff, and finally the amazing meal I was treated to that evening.
Situated at the Whiteinch end of Dumbarton Rd, you’re able to spot this small restaurant from the ships mast painted on the side. As I entered, a few minutes late to meet my co-​diner (thankfully she was there a half hour early for our booking) I was greeted by the lovely, chirpy young Skye (spelling assumed). My friend Agata already had a bottle of wine waiting for us, and had courteously left it unopened, despite my tardiness. Although nearly every white in the menu wasn’t actually available, the house white, a soft, fruity Pays D’Oc, suitably soothed my palate.
We had come there on the back of a Groupon deal for a lobster dinner for 2, at a fantastically priced £37.50, and I think it is safe to say we got our monies worth. We were given the choices of garlic butter or Thermidor, chips or mash, salad or veg. Agata opted for the Thermidor, I the garlic butter, and both of us decided to be grubbers and have the chips! What was placed before us was a glorious crustacean creation. The lobster was split in half, and the tail separated also. The chunky, crispy chips were generous in portion, and a serving of steamed broccoli and carrot dressed the side. I actually wish I had a picture of my face, even just recalling how good it tasted. There was so much meat in the lobster, differing from the few other places I have had it, and it was so juicy and tasty. I honestly cannot wait to go back for it again, though it doesn’t appear on their A La Carte menu.
I didn’t think I could manage a dessert, but Agata was determined, and when I saw Eton Mess on the menu, I conceded. Fresh chunks of strawberry, floats of meringue, and thick, fresh cream to accompany the last of my wine.
We were checked on regularly by Skye, and a fellow we discovered to be the new owner, of just 5 months, who both looked genuinely pleased at how much we had enjoyed our meal, and I’m sure our compliments were passed on the chef. Keep up the good work and they’re sure to make it a roaring success!

I am very sad to write this reveiw the Cabin has always been a favourite Restuarant of mine I like it’s quirkiness & the food.
Last time I was there I was a bit disappointed as we were a large party and although the food was good it almost felt like being at school dinners.
Yesterday me & the wee cuz decided to give it another chance, we booked through
as is our usual when we arrived the Chap who greeted us was a bit off hand with his remark that we left our booking a bit late, we always decide on the day, it is never a problem anywhere else.
We ordered our usual wine wee cuz’s Rose came in a glass with lipstick marks around the rim, and asked for a fresh glass this was done.
The menu was very nice and I had roasted peppers & butternut squash soup with soda bread it was delicious, wee cuz had roasted feta and also enjoyed it very much. For mains I had lamb stew & colcannon mash it was also delicious wee cuz ordered duck and was very disappointed when it arrive with quills on the skin, as she was looking forward to nice crispy skin to accompany the tender duck.
She did mention this to the waiter who then gave her a complementary dessert & removed the surcharge for the Duck from the bill, the one we had to pay not the Ducks LOL.
Wee cuz ordered a 2^nd glass of wine and it was served in the same glass, not even washed very disappointing.
Good food but come on Guys think about presentation of the whole package.

Really quirky quaint little place with no room to swing a cat. Menu of Scottish favourites with a couple of quirky additions inc duck wontons. We visited with 19 friends for a birthday party and had an absolutely cracking time.
Food was delicious. Duck wontons to start were crispy generous portions and sesame laced noodles below. Then I had venison casserole with the most beautiful mash I’ve tasted in a long time.
Service was genuine homely and hospitable.
After three courses which ended with a lovely cheese board for me, out came the singer and a wee bit of karaōke.
This isn’t dinner, it’s a family feel, party night where you feel as if you’ve entered a grandparents living room for a singalong.
Can’t recommend this place enough. Bring some friends, byob and enjoy the food.

Eating in The Cabin feels more like eating in your auntie’s house on a boozy Christmas afternoon than a restaurant in the West End (albeit Whiteinch). The décor is homely, the traditional menu which changes regularly is delicious and the atmosphere is festive.
After dinner, customers are encouraged to get up for a sing-​a-​long using the plastic microphone, which is a great laugh. Unlike other restaurant/​karaōke places such as the Shanghai Shuffle, The Cabin is warm and personal due to its tiny space. Highly recommended for hen nights/​birthday parties.

Well I must first of all mention my shock at being the first to review this place. Despite its modest, unassuming surroundings, the Cabin is something of a Glasgow institution.
Tucked away in Whiteinch, initimacy is the name of the game here. It’s small and a little cramped but the owners wouldn’t have it any other way as diners are encouraged most nights to join in one of the Cabin’s legendary sing alongs.
This, however, is no tacky karaōke bar. The food, hearty Irish and Scottish fare, is worth the visit alone while the welcome is warm and genuine.
It does have to be said that it’s not the cheapest place in the world, but you’re paying for the atmosphere to boot. Indeed, it needs to be experienced to be understood and is a great place to take people who are visiting Glasgow.

overpriced for mediocre food not particularly friendly staff by the time you have wine etc it cost about £47 per person far superor scottis food at the sisters restaurant

The Cabin is reknown for its quality Scottish food menu as well as it’s size!
It is very small, with a cover of around 25 and only one toilet! It is like being in your living room at home with superb home cooking.
The theme is Scottish produce with fresh seasonal produce, from freshly caught seafood to Ayrshire bacon.
It is good value — especially the lunch menu.
At night there is a singer who comes in to warble on her plastic ice cream cone instead of a microphone. She is good fun and encourages the audience to sing along with her.
Perhaps go for lunch instead if you just want to experience quality Scottish food.
