The Riverside Inn

Stopped here for a late lunch on the way home from a weekend north. It was really busy but at no point were we made to feel anything other than welcome. The staff were all outstanding, well mannered & really good at their job. We were served great drinks & the most amazing food. The kids menu meant the boy's could have hearty food in smaller portions (steak pie & fish & chips) The prices were really reasonable for the exceptional food we were served. Honestly can't recommend this place enough. It really is a warm, comfortable & friendly place. The staff were happy & inviting. We can't wait to go back.
Also dog friendly! Again our dog was made to feel as welcome as us! ⭐🐾

9. Must Haves: the “starter” bread plate was fresh and pretty good. I had a cheeseburger with bacon, very good. My son had the Dirty Mac and said it was also good. My wife had the Fish & Chips, and said it was very good

Very kind service, large portions of food. Cozy restaurant, we were very satisfied.
The chicken burger is delicious 😀

Amazing atmosphere with great songs being played. Staff were very nice. Dog friendly with indoor and outdoor seating.
The food was decent. The pizza dough was great but everything else about it was nothing spectacular.
Overall, I am satisfied and would definitely recommend (just not the pizza).

Lovely views from the beer garden, food was great and staff are super nice.
A real plus that dogs are allowed as well.

Stopped off after walk, friendly staff and great soup !! Would definitely recommend

Great setting on the river.
Good reasonable prices
Service terrific as usual.
Service is always friendly and professional.
You must try their latte.
Amy is the best latte maker in the whole WORLD ☕☕☕☕☕

Food delicious and staff lovely, too. Highly recommend. Foodies won't be disappointed. We will defo be back . A+++++

Everything was perfect. Staff were lovely, food was brilliant. I’ve been to most of the places in Callander for food and this is by far the nicest place!

Lovely friendly place. Dog friendly too. Didnt have food today but will be back!

Our favourite place to chill and eat vist at least once a month. Food is amazing, brilliant service staff very friendly and helpful. Always a great atmosphere

Good service, nice local lager, healthy food in the menu of the day. Loved the steak and chips, butternut squash soup, burgers all food.
Nice ambience with peaceful view, though next to car park, in the back garden (plants could do with some care then it'd look lovely!).

Genuine warm welcome, dog friendly (and brought dogs water), nice beer, very tasty burger. Spot on for quick beer and bite with the dogs

Had the most incredible meal here yesterday! My husband 1 year old and I were in Calendar for a day trip. We decided to stop in for a bite to eat. I had the steak burger and my goodness it has to be the best burger I have ever tried! So juicy and the flavours just burst into my mouth. Nicest burger ever! My husband had the steak pie and it was melt in your mouth good so succulent. Last but not least my daughter had the kids macaroni and she scoffed it. We tasted it aswell and the cheese sauce was absolutely mouth watering. The service was incredible and the boys were great with our daughter. Our server had just had a birthday in Amsterdam- so attentive. will most definitely be back!

Always a treat to visit. Food is excellent and the staff are friendly and service oriented.
Good value for money, comfortable and relaxed.

Had some pub grub & a good laugh with the guys behind the bar
Four main things we enjoyed.
1. The 2 lads begind the bar
2. Oscar & Hunter (read the end of my review)
3. Juke box music
4. The lady(customer) dancing/miming to " I feel like a woman" by Shania Twain she/that impressed me much" !
We had a good couple of hours relaxing.
I am sure it will be ever better during the summer & I wish the the Lads all the best.
OK... about Oscar & Hunter 2 superb dogs who had us both laughing. Everytime the bar was left to collect glasses the 2 dogs would stand up on the "dog" gate waiting for their "Dad's" to come back behind the bar.
Have a visit I am sure you wont be disappointed & that you will have a great time.

Very good pint of Guinness at £4.50 brought to the table by the staff. Fresh water bowl brought without having to ask. Did not have any food but can vouch for the look of it getting delivered to nearby tables.

Really good , dog friendly and great staff

Great place for food & a beverage.
Prices are reasonable and portions won't disappoint.
Make the effort to visit ..!

Lovely food and nice staff
