A beautiful experience visiting the cottages! The volunteers were so helpful and knowledgeable! There was so much kindness in the air and the small details were so beautiful! I would definitely recommend!

Visited on a whim as we were outside Jam Jar having some lunch and noticed it was open. We were shocked actually how much there was to see including the extra building behind and the tea room. Would recommend anyone to have a wee nosey around when you can as it is steeped in Paisley's history. Will be back for tea another day :)

Visited on first day of opening this year when all the volunteers were settling in. The food in the tea room was perfect, lovely home made soup, sandwiches and cream tea. The staff were so friendly and attentive and we'll definitely be back

Fascinating local history, lovely gift shop and delicious homemade cakes!

Very interesting look into the Paisley of old. Very friendly and informative volunteers and a lovely afternoon tea. I would recommend having a visit.

A fascinating glimpse into the past and history of the weaving industry and the "Paisley" pattern - you'll be surprised where it comes from. Expertly hosted by the very helpful volunteers - with not to be missed afternoon tea at the tea shop.

Thoroughly tasteful afternoon tea, and options for drinks. Volunteers couldn't have been any more attentive. Tour was very interesting and informative. Guide was very knowledgeable and open to answering any questions that were asked. Would definitely recommend a visit here and I'll be back for another visit soon

A hidden gem. Really interesting and much more varied and extensive than expected. Staff excellent - very friendly and informative. Highly recommended.

It's Sma' Shot day in Paisley which pays tribute to its weaving past, Paisley arguably was the leading weaving town in Scotland. The weaving industry led to a process for making thread which led to the thread mills but even without the mills industrialisation throughout the UK would probably have led to decline of weaving. There are many reminders of Paisleys thread making past indeed you could describe the centre of Paisley as a living museum to the Coats, the Clarks and the company they built. However there's very little to its weaving past Sma' Shot Cottage being the leading example. A small cottage with a loom and living spaces faithfully preserved in this 18th century cottage, well worth a visit.

Fantastic guides take you round the cottages with lots of interesting stories and a wealth of knowledge. Good shop for a wee reminder of your visit then finish off with a cup of tea and fabulous home baking. Highly recommended.

Awesome place. Well worth a visit 👌👏

Lovely building in the centre of Paisley. Interesting to spend an hour looking around. Small shop/cafe with seating area.

Really enjoyed the Candlelight Concert we attended recently. The music and the orchestra and soloists were all first class. Only downside was the seating which I know cannot be helped. Also it wasn't very clear where to go to purchase merchandise but we will do so online. All in all though a beautiful experience and in spite of the seating would come again.

Amazing building constructed for this specific purpose of supporting 4 tons of telescope. Closes this month for 2 year refurbishment so great opportunity to see it again. Knowledgeable and helpful staff on hand to explain purpose and working

Despite it's clear under funding the by the council, the observatory has been a place of wonderment for me since childhood. The staff are very knowledgeable and thee are a few gems to behold once there, including the Coates telescope which is well over 100 years old, and is still in use today. Well worth a visit if you are in town...

It's a good place to visit. You need to go through the museum to gain access to the building. It's free to visit. If you have mobility issue's it's stair all the way up to the top. The video presentation was good.

This could be OK if only they would actually clean things up a bit (the place is very tatty) and know something of what they are talking about. Maybe it was a bad day but when I visited the guide's talk consisted quite literally of "This is a telescope. It was made in 1880 at the same time the building was built. Any questions". She quite literally knew nothing of her subject. Obviously there is a limit to how much a tiny provincial museum like this can manage but they have an observatory, albeit a tiny one. They have a planetarium (not in use when I visited and similarly tiny) a film presentation and a building to show it all in. So there is no excuse for then locking the building up only to have it unlocked by someone who knows nothing and apparently has no interest in let alone enthusiasm for the subject. One of the rare occasions when it is people at such an exhibition that let it down. Even with their limited resource they have enough to inspire and educate and they failed to do either.

Wanted to do this for years. Well worth the wait. Looked at the moon felt as if you could reach out and touch it.

Very interesting tour, excellent orrery and telescope is cool. Very informative tour guide.

One of the few public buildings of its type. Well worth a visit.

Lovely venue just reopened recently after a multi year refurbishment. Nice bar with a balcony overlooking the Abbey precinct. Great main hall for bands. Very friendly and helpful staff

Absolutely 💯 Paislry Council should be very proud of themselves amazing historic Reservation for future residence Thank you Paislry from a born glaswegian now living in this 🙌 caring place xc

The town hall was the Exhibition Centre venue of Paisley from World Class Snooker to famous bands doing a small gig to our Comicon. It could and should be so much more so it's full 24/7 busy by attracting bands, comedians, TV shows, am dram and events. I would love something interesting going on there through the week every week from a local band battle to being similar to The Pavillion as local comedy talent from plays to gameshows. The plans look amazing but do you really believe it will get finished before your grandkids have grandkids?

Town Hall looks absolutely amazing. Did amazing job refurbishing it. Went to the Niteworks gig last night and it was outstanding apart from the bar. We were in the queue for 1 hour!! Absolutely ridiculous and because of it we have missed begging to the band set. On events like this there should be more people working behind the bar.

We had a fabulous time at Steven and Sineads wedding on Saturday 18th of November. Staff were very welcoming and helpful throughout the evening. Smashing venue.

Really gorgeous building, the refurbishment has clearly been successful! However, it wasn’t made clear that there was no lift to the top floor when I booked my ticket.

wow! an impressive building and great venue for a concert.

Shocking bar service at gig there. Had to wait an hour to get served. Queues out the door of bar and down through the main hallway. Slow bar staff with little motivation to clear a waiting crowd. A real let down and will not be attending any other functions here again.

Beautiful Town Hall building currently undergoing extensive refurb which I understand should be completed later in 2022. Great location with the White Cart Water running behind the building and Paisley Abbey and it's grounds at the front. Wonderful civic space.

Gorgeous architecture, must see in Paisley.

Remember the model you could see about 7 years ago of what would open in 2021. COVID isn't an excuse when nothing has changed since it was a building site in 2016. No doubt the companies involved still get paid by Renfrewshire Council. On the plus side the workies are friendly enough to pass a joint around when you're passing by. Because passing by is all you'll do for another 5 years

Did not visit the Museum but worked there as it is getting fixed or updated

Visited for the Star Wars toy exhibitions with the family. A bit disappointed that they decided not to allow photos in the main exhibition but it was quite interesting. The kids loved the observatory and we will return one evening to see it in action. There is a side entrance for wheelchair and buggy access that enters from the car park that we missed on the way in. Lots of stairs but lifts around to make things accessible

Lovely little museum. Just enough to look at, from dinosaur foot prints to a mummified child!! A good amount about Paisley's history too. Pram and wheelchair access is up the ramp at the side you just press the bell and once inside there is a lift to get up to the main floor.

Paisley museum and art gallery what a beautiful relaxing place to spend the afternoon, great exhibitions and art,amazing knowledgeable staff that are will king to help and discuss The exhibits. Everyone should visit often to take a moment to reflect on something other than the here and now, very cathartic! There is a bus stop directly out side and plenty of car parks close by if you need them.

Bit of a dated display. Not particularly good at illustrating the history of the town. A chronological approach would be better instead of having it all mixed in with taxidermy and Egyptian artifacts. Paisley Artist's Exhibition is generally good, but with the usual amount of tat. So much kept in storage and never displayed (especially some of the Victorian paintings), but this has recently all been moved to the High St. Regardless, still love the place and hope the council is sensible in its redevelopment.

Great to see local history but not very disabled friendly if you don't have a wheelchair. No parking either, however if you give advance notice they state they will try to accommodate. No use if going there ad hoc though , but advised when it gets upgraded.

First time there but not last. Excellent food at great price. 2 course lunch for 12.95, unheard of these days!

Ordered two tuna salad sandwiches, latte, two cans of juice and biscuit to take away. Sandwiches in large take away containers with side salad and lovely creamy coleslaw. Provided With napkins, plastic cutlery and salt and pepper sachets which was nice. However the let down was the bread for the sandwiches was going stale and the crust was hard and dry. Was hungry so managed to eat the inside of the sandwiches and left the outsides. Extremely disappointed as the main item was stale if this had not been an issue I would be giving 5 star review. Pity let themselves down with serving stale bread.

Lovely meal! Staff attentive. Bruchetta was perfect, followed by Lasagne!

Had a fantastic meal here at the end of my trip, we skipped lunch and ordered every course, drink and dessert we wanted (went all out) and still ended up spending little! Delicious food from start to finish, couldn't get enough of the lemonade!

I've never had a bad meal in this restaurant. Our most recent visit for my Father's birthday was just as great as always. The menu has changed since we last visited but I liked the look of the new dishes.

Nice inside, a bit of a rustic feel. Starter was very nice, I had pate, main course was not so good I had saltimbocca which was served on a mushroom risotto. The chicken was fine but the dish arrived swimming in the sauce which may have been better on the side. I also felt the risotto was mushy, a bit overdone. No complaints on the service & the place was busy enough. Maybe I was just a bit unlucky with my choice.

Fantastic restaurant. Delicious, freshly cooked food at an exceptionally reasonable price. Food and service were excellent - will definitely be back!

We were a group of five. The atmosphere was fantastic. The meals were absolutely great. Also the service. It was a great night out. All of us had a good time. Will definitely visit again. Thank you. well done.

Nice early evening meal. Went to old favourite in Paisley. Given early evening menu which is set price for 2/3 course. Food arrives quickly, is hot, seasoned correctly and as described. Meats cooked perfectly, generous portions although salad undressed. Drinks are varied and wine menu has nice classical Italian varieties. House wines (by glass) are really good and priced well. Staff friendly and patient with kids. Surroundings well presented and clean and peak in open kitchen showed a very clean and organised area. Will be back as always

Food was all good except one very disappointing main course. Pork escalope which was served as a tough pork chop plonked on top & totally covering my potatoes & veg. Lots of fat through it, dry & tough. I did query it with the maitre de but he said that’s pork escalope. It is normally, in any other restaurant, pork fillet hammered out to a thin escalope, sometimes it’s breadcrumbed but not always. I would never have ordered a pork chop in any restaurant!! Not happy.

First visit, will be start of many. Delicious food, freshly served and at really value for money prices. Staff lovely. Drinks reasonably priced too. Could not find one fault. They are closing for a refurbishment for 1 week, cannot wait to go back, well done everyone.

Had a lovely family meal celebrating my grandson Daniels tenth birthday. Staff were really good with his birthday cake , singing happy birthday to him . The food was lovely I had the soup for starters and the sea bass for the main. Food was delicious, everyone in our party had nothing but praise for this well priced family friendly restaurant.

Last minute booking last night . Was brilliant , food was great service was great and the price was very good . Places like this keeping their feet on the ground is a breath lf fresh air.

What a great find! Both me (vegan) and my friend (meat eater) really enjoyed our meals, I had the veg supreme (done vegan) and they had a half pizza, half lasagne which we absolutely devoured to our satisfaction 😄 Even though it was clearly a busy night, they found us a table for 2 and we're very attentive and helpful - genuinely very friendly team here and it shows, we even got all our food in good time despite a clear rush and big parties. We had 2 waitresses, one with red hair and one who was blonde (sorry I don't have better ways of describing you both 😅) and they made our meal with great service 💚 Great night, great food, great place.

went with my mate for dinner last night, both had the sharing platter then half pizza half pasta and it was excellent!! staff couldn't b any nicer and so friendly. cocktails where really good as well. bill was very reasonable. will b back in the near future to try other stuff on the menu.

Laid back restaurant with something for everyone. Pizza is very tasty and they have a large cocktail menu. Servings are large! Service is wonderful and very kind. Next time I’ll need to leave room for dessert, it looked delicious.

5 Stars for the Cocktails - So many to choose from, fun menu with a nice local touch in the naming conventions. They also taste as good as they look. Food okay too, possibly lose a star but good value forpmey and plenty to choose from. Perfect place to visit with freinds.

Visited for lunch on Saturday 24th June with my friend. The staff were so friendly and the service was excellent. We sat outside in the sun and enjoyed a delicious lunch and a lovely Scottish gin, the name of which I could not pronounce, but it was fab! Highly recommend Jam Jar. 👌

Brilliant service from start to finish. Staff were all welcoming and attentive and the food itself was great. As well as the portions being large I thought the quality of the food was good too. Definitely the place to go if you're in need of a good feed.

The food & cocktails as always were good, but the last couple of times we've been in we have felt very rushed and unable to enjoy the meal properly as a result. There were 5 of us booked for 5:30pm and even at the time of booking we were told the table must be back no later than 7. We didn't order starters which was just as well as we never actually got food until we'd been there an hour, the order wasn't taken until we'd been seated for 45 mins. Since the time before we were reminded that we had to give the table back a couple of times, we rushed our food and then it transpired while waiting on the bill, that the next booking had cancelled and they asked us if we wanted another round of cocktails. We had places to be so we declined, but yeah thankfully none of us wanted desert as we wouldn't have had time to eat it in normal circumstances. I think if there are only a couple of you it would be fine but if you're looking to chat and enjoy some food and cocktails as an experience/evening out its likely not the place to go.

Absolutely love this place! Food,cocktails and service are all amazing. Very reasonably priced as well. All servers are super friendly and efficient. The twister cocktail 🍹🍸 and Paulo martini are so so good!!

Fun. Not exactly what I was expecting. You can’t really tell from the other reviews and pics. From the outside it looks like a gym, you walk in to what looks like a cross between a bingo hall and diner. Not somewhere to visit on a romantic date. But this was a staff do, so it kind of worked. Drink selection was ok, food was, well let’s say it was fun. How could I deny myself of a dish that claimed to be legendary?! I had Hawaiian pizza and pasta bolognese. The pasta was actually very tasty, impressed. The pizza however was very bland and something you’d expect to purchase from Aldi. Service average Food average Ambiance, wacky. Good for friends and fun.

Took a wee while to be served despite waitresses standing around our table but the place was so so busy so it's understandable. The portion sizes were so big and the food was really delicious. The food also came out so quick, it took under 10-20 minutes to come out. I really enjoyed it and will definitely be back. My only issue is that it is a very busy place and the tables are quite close so the chatty atmosphere can be slightly overwhelming if you want a calm dinner. We went on a Saturday though, so that's to be expected, especially with a place that has cocktails. Regardless, I loved it!

Food is always lovely at Jam Jar. Service staff are very friendly and always passing by to see if they can help with anything else, as well as have a quick chat.

Me and my girlfriend have been here a few times and it’s quickly become my favourite restaurant in paisley. Reasonably priced and delicious for food and drink, do not skip on the cocktails! Cant wait to be back again soon

Very busy, so definitely worth booking. Staff very pleasant, welcoming and attentive. Food was excellent, had to take a doggy bag home for the first time, I just couldn't leave the rest behind & it was just as delicious the next day. Only reduced star on atmosphere because I have sensory overload issues & noise levels were a lot for me a couple of times.

Always enjoy Jam Jar, very attentive staff, lovely food, and huge portions. Great value for money. Tasty cocktails 🍸never disappointed. Will always recommend and enjoy going again 👍 😊

Always a great friendly welcoming experience when at this restaurant, food is always fast and tastes amazing. Staff are so friendly also. Definitely one of my favourite places to go out and eat

Party of 2 adults and 2 kids went for lunch. Although it was busy, the staff were fantastic. Nothing was a hassle for them, and they were great with the kids. The food was good, and the portions were large (even the kids meals!) We are already planning our next visit without the kids as the cocktails looked fantastic! Great overall experience

Tasty and very good quality, the servers were rushed off their feet but the service was very friendly and helpful

Quickly seated. Food speed was slow - see below. The garlic to just to hard and Mac ball basic and small for nearly £8. I felt that I had to push the staff to get things done. Only the one older member of staff looked interested in taking orders and service. Could see other customers struggling to get attention. The young staff many look like they were just pushing time. Not interested in helping. F&B people are there just before catching a flight so they need very fast service that means all staff need to understand that. It's not like we are there to pass time. Your board outside says food served in 7 mins..that's misleading. I was there when it was not busy and not understaffed and then it took 22 mins from order to table. Be real. Enough veggie and vegan options.

Very quick which is just what you want at the airport. Decent food at reasonable price. Our waitress Andrea was so lovely. She even gave us some insider holiday tips as we were going to her homeland.

Quite simply the worst Bloody Mary that I have ever had the misfortune to drink! Lukewarm, flavourless dishwater and that’s being generous… A disturbing, off-colour concoction with no discernible taste of tomato devoid of the anticipated peppery bite and savoury tang! Naturally a couple of juicy olives were missing as was a stalk of crisp celery. The only concession to garnish was a forlorn, translucent slice of lemon languishing at the bottom of the glass. I could taste the vodka, but that was about it! A disappointing experience all round as the breakfast roll ordered alongside arrived almost instantly and was cold as were the accompanying fried potatoes. The excuse for the Bloody Mary and flat white coffee also arrived after I’d all but finished my meal, which was particularly disappointing as the restaurant was almost empty… Still what would you expect for over 20 quid! I won’t be returning…

Very limited menu selection, most dishes unavailable due to shortages. 20+ minute wait to get seated but food delivered in 15 minutes. Otherwise standard venue for Frankie's. Not the fanciest choice at the airport but better than most.

Stopped in to have breakfast before our flight. Plenty of room around our table for us and bags so we did not feel closed in. Andrea was cheerful and smiling, even as she walked around and cleaned off the tables. Took the time to stop and talk to us several times to check on us and chat. The food was exceptional. Will definitely make this a stop on our return.

All of the staff were very hospitable and welcoming when we came in to the restaurant. When we handed them our TUI congratulations slip for our honeymoon they went far and beyond to ensure we had an even greater time and wished us a happy marriage. Thank you Frankie and Benny's for the love and kindness. Graeme and the other staff, keep doing what you are doing. You've made myself and my wife very happy before we fly away on our honeymoon!

Arrived here for a quick breakfast. I was seated quickly and my order was taken promptly,I opted for the all day breakfast and and a Carmel latte. The breakfast was good, and portion was ample. My Carmel latte was delicious and was tempted to have another. I paid with card, and it was fairly cheap for my breakfast and coffee, £17. I would have paid more at Burger King for a burger meal deal. Very pleased and my tummy more so. Will easily come back again in future.

Very expensive even at airport rates Food was not bad. I had meatball starter. Not a bad portion but at £7.60 though

Excellent all round. A warm welcome from the smiling lady at the entrance included checking if I had any allergies and showed me to a table. Prompt and efficient service from providing a menu, taking my order and serving hot food and drink with a smile and commending my choices. A lovely calm and enjoyable atmosphere with personal service in a busy airport. Breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend.

Frankie and Benny's Glasgow Airport charging £5.60 for a 300ml bottle of Budweiser beer feels excessive. Given that a full pint of Budweiser costs a similar amount, the value for money is questionable. Customers might be discouraged from ordering beer due to the inflated price. It would be more reasonable to adjust the pricing to align with industry standards and offer a better experience for patrons.

Having breakfast at Frankie and Benny’s was a great start to the holiday. Our server Kai was friendly and helpful when selecting drinks.

With two hours to go until our flight to London we popped in at about 11am for brunch. I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't even know that this company still existed. It was always a late'90s thing. For me, it was a great little menu with plenty that I'd have happily chosen. I opted for the Brisket Hash which came with onions and eggs. Food was superbly tasty but let down by it being only really luke-warm. My wife's was the opposite...really hot but served with fridge-cold avocado. A bit of a disappoint. I did mention to this our waiting person when paying...she was apologetic enough. The really good thing was that there was no-one here on laptops - (making a filter coffee last for six hours) whilst using the restaurants power supply to charge all of their electrical devices.

What a lovely evening my partner and I have had tonight in The Little Steak House a warm welcoming atmosphere as soon as you enter this intimate little restaurant, a cozy homely feel, the staff could not have been nicer and the food was excellent and so was the rioja. We usually have a main and dessert but both of us were full to bursting after our mains my partner had 12oz fillet that was butter tender an I had the full rack of ribs that was also beautifully tender. No faults at all for us we thoroughly enjoyed our night, thanks Lauren and team.

As mentioned by others, the staff here was very helpful and easy to work with. Their skill is a reflection of the quality of the entire establishment. We will definitely return every time we come to visit Scotland, from Texas. And as a Texan who judges every BBQ by their ribs, this chef absolutely nailed it. Lastly, the ribeye which my wife had was so tender that she cut it with her fork!

I'm from Brazil and I found the restaurant on google, and I can say that: very good service, the food is wonderful, well seasoned! if you have the opportunity to meet go there! Thank you Clare for the service!! 🤍

Absolutely loved our experience here food and staff are phenomenal x can't wait to book again x highly recommend especially the steaks and cocktails,staff went over and above to make our night perfect x

Second visit for us and this little place didn't disappoint great food and really friendly staff. We were encouraged by the waitress to order the Châteaubriand and there was a little wait and because of that we received free bread and dips when the steak arrived it was everything we wanted and the onion rings were amazing

Called in for a glass of wine with an early dinner. Had the set 2 course dinner for £13. Fish and chips then lemon posset. My friend had a much more expensive steak then a more elaborate strawberry and cream confection, also with shortcake. We both got just what we wanted and friendly service. Will go back.

Cozy dining room and friendly, helpful staff make this a favourite spot for us. This celiac needs to eat gluten free and the staff are knowledgeable about gf options. A shared fryer so no chips for me. Daub of beef was delicious with a rich demi glacé and burger was juicy and tasty.

Tasty food. Exciting and busy place with lots of Indian people eating here at the buffet. Very well priced and very good staff. Attentive, talkative and all round nice place to dine for authentic Indian food. 👍🔥😉

I had their lunch set and the food did feel authentic and didn't have the usual saucy/ sweet flavor that curries served at many Indian restaurants in Glasgow have. The service was quick and definitely good value for money. Definitely going back more often.

Loved the hospitality and taste! Was here as part of a group tour and we came here for dinner on 2 nights. Yummy Paneer Karahi. Malaidar paneer was great too. Quick refill in the buffet tubs, there was always a person to ensure the food was always available for the guests.

Excellent restaurant with one of the best Indian Authentic food near Glasgow. The owner is an Indian and was very friendly to us. The supporting staff was also treating us very nicely. We were having a buffet and as much as I have eaten in Indian restaurants in London, I've never tasted food this close to homemade Indian food as they are serving. Everything was delicious. The ambience is nice and clean. Nice place to visit with family. Please do visit if you are looking for amazing Indian taste. Next time I visit Glasgow I know exactly where to have my lunch and dinner. 💯

Lovely food the butter chicken was amazing ! Will recommend!

dinned at the Indian by Nature and had a surprise birthday night out for the brother in law for a party of 11 the food was out of this world what else can i say but thanks to everyone of the staff.

One of the best Indian Authentic food restaurant in the town. The owner and chefs are awesome and very friendly. A homely touch in all dishes made. Variety of drinks options available. Excellent ambience and favourable place for friends and family to hangout. Please do visit if you are looking for Indian authentic taste.

Thank you for a delightful dining experience, every dish was a masterpiece, showcasing Chef talent and dedication. Moreover customer service which they are providing is incredible especially Mr Alok owner of the restaurant your warm hospitality made the evening truly memorable. Can't wait to return…Thank you very much for all.

Firangi has amazing ambience perfect for celebrating any occasion like birthdays, anniversary or any kind of gathering. Food is so delicious, served with perfect presentation and service is quick. We went there to celebrate our anniversary and all the staffs are super friendly and they help in choosing right food as per your taste. We highly recommend it.

The food was good. Service was ok for the buffet, I'm sure it's better when you order. The sitting arrangement needs some improvement so that folks don't run into each other.

Went there for the first time with a couple of friends. Having asked all of us what we liked to eat, we went with the owners recommendations. The food was amazing. Lots of tastes coming through in the sauces and the owner was passionate in answering our questions about the ingredients. We'll be back for sure. Been back a few times now and the food is always authentic and delicious. I found this tandoori salmon and its absolutely delicious. I had mine with rice and a curry sauce. I think I'm addicted.

Absolutely amazing food,brilliant staff and really good value for money - thoroughly recommend.
