Mini Bar Glasgow in Glasgow City

Amazing steaks from a small restaurant in the city. Lovely decor and traditional Scottish menu and drinks. See our full video review on our experience under The Olive Tree Family on all social media platforms.

After visiting here a few times, this is one of my favourite places for a special dinner. The service is excellent, alcohol menu extensive and food delicious. The steak was tender and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. There was seating available as well as the ability to make a reservation online. Parking can be difficult though being in the city centre there's enough streets that it should be possible within a 10 minute radius. Overall a great place for a special occasion.

Very friendly place. The food was excellent.

Christmas day was made a pleasure by the service (Tricia, Cara especially) being pleasant and professional without being snooty. The Christmas Dinner was delicious, all four of us were in agreement, cooked and seasoned beautifully. I'm looking forward to going back to try the steak dishes or the Sunday lunch...👌 Thanks guys, sadly for you, I could become a regular...😊

Visited for my graduation meal and it was absolutely brilliant, the staff were lovely and the food was incredible! We will definitely be back.

Excellent steak restaurant. Probably the best in Glasgow.

£39 for a sirloin steak is expensive, but I don't mind if it's worth it. The steak was cooked medium as recommended, but somehow ended up as the driest and tasteless steak I have paid for outside of cheap chain places. No real taste or seasoning, so was a bit of a chore to eat. I've been to pretty much all steak restaurants in Glasgow and West End, this is the most disappointing, I have never reviewed a bad steak before. Ordered a coca cola on arrival which arrived lukewarm, ego reacts to drink lukewarm drinks??? didn't finish it and ordered a pint instead which at least arrived cold, had to ask twice before I was served it though. Wife had Sunday Roast, which she said was ok at best.

Cute restaurant with great service, atmosphere was mid, but it was only Wednesday evening. Food was delicious, but main meal was not hot enough. Trio of Haggis was a highlight!

A absolutely brill and experience from start to finish. Welcomed in by very friendly staff and was seen to promptly and frequently throughout our visit. The aesthetic of the place is really nice. The space is quite small but you don't feel crammed in. The food was sensational. The steak was absolutely perfect. The sides to compliment were equally sensational. The staffs knowledge of the menu was also very helpful and appreciated. I forgot the name of the female server we had but she was just brilliant! Funny but professional. It was the night before my brothers wedding and upon learning this our server brought us free Tequila shots to round of a turely perfect and delicious evening. 10/10 Would recommend to anyone.

Mini Grill in Glasgow offers a dining experience that is both intimate and unforgettable. The cozy ambiance, with its warm lighting and rustic decor, sets the perfect stage for a delightful meal. The atmosphere is truly great, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. We visited Mini Grill as a party of eight to celebrate my daughter's graduation. The food was delicious, starting with a variety of starters including bruschetta, haggis bites, and pork belly. For the mains, we enjoyed chateaubriand, Côte de boeuf bavette, sirloin, and venison, all cooked to perfection. The delicious sauces, fabulous chips, and rosemary roast potatoes complemented the dishes perfectly. Some of us managed to squeeze in a dessert, and the beautiful panna cotta was described by one guest as the best she'd ever had. One of our guests has multiple food allergies, and we had alerted Mini Grill at the time of booking. They handled it brilliantly, with no fuss or hassle, demonstrating a complete understanding of the food they had cooked and what could and couldn't be included. The drinks were excellent, including a recommendation by our server, Sam, about gin with fresh chili. Wow, what a revelation! Sam was amazing—warm, friendly, and chatty, with a great knowledge of the food and drinks. It was a brilliant experience, definitely the best steakhouse experience in Glasgow by a mile. Overall, Mini Grill is a hidden gem in Glasgow that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

The best steak I've ever had and one of the most flavoursome meals overall. Wonderful restaurant, beautiful decor, lovely staff and fantastic customer service. Highly recommend. Thank you!

Great place. Lovely sirloin steak with the tastiest red wine jus! Delicious. Service was excellent too and a really nice ambience about the place. Trisha went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and great banter too! A real asset to the restaurant. Will definately return x

Service excellent, great atmosphere and lovely reasonably priced food.

Lovely restaurant went in for Sunday lunch and also had the roe deer. Great friendly service very attentive and food was exceptional would highly recommend. Comfortable restaurant nicely decorated.

Just went here hour ago and I could not recommend this place enough. The staff was absolutely amazing and were very very friendly. The portions were absolutely massive and me being a food guy I can usually finish it but there was no chance. I’ll deffo be back.

Our overall experience was exemplary to be honest. From customer service to quality of food, to the general ambience. Perfect. As someone who doesn't like places that are too noisy or too busy, this was perfect for my partner and I, since it was a smaller environment. We felt really well looked after and especially because of the fact that my partner has a myriad of allergies. They were super attentive and made sure several times that the food would be appropriate for him (and me!). The food was fantastic, I had the smoked haddock and my partner had a steak. Very delicious. If you're looking for a steakhouse to eat at in Glasgow, definitely try this restaurant!

Nothing special. Food was overcooked and bland.

Fantastic wee place and the service we received was exceptional; huge shout-out to Sam for making us laugh so much! She had a great sense of humour, but was also very attentive and made sure we had all we needed. Food was amazing and the bartender, Lad, was great, too. Will definitely be visiting again!

Three of us had a fantastic meal at the end of October. Wonderful service, awesome steaks and burger and great atmosphere. Will come back next time we’re in town

We were in Glasgow 3 nights and had dinner here twice! That should be an indication of our appreciation of Mini Grill. From the Pork Belly starter to the venison, steak and risotto mains, we found the food delicious. We especially enjoyed Tricia as our server as she provided insights to the menu as well as suggestions to make our stay in Glasgow memorable. Glenn received high marks for his martinis. My wife was thrilled that they were so accommodating to those that have to eat gluten-free. All in all, a totally enjoyable experience - both times!

This was the first time I had tried this restaurant and it was fantastic. The food was amazing, the staff were so nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend it.

Mini Grill Steakhouse in Glasgow is a must-visit for meat lovers! The burgers are fantastic, but the real star is the perfectly grilled, top-quality meat cuts—truly exceptional. It's not the cheapest, but the taste and quality are absolutely worth it. Highly recommend for a special meal!

Esther and Olivia were lovely servers made us feel welcome and great customer service! All round fab experience and fab food highly recommend !

Visited recently for daughter’s 21st and from start to finish the whole experience was fantastic. Food was delicious and enjoyed by all. The service we received was second to none - well done to all the staff! What an asset you all are. You made our daughter’s day very special

This is my 2nd time to this restaurant and it did not disappoint. Both times I have been attending the Kings which is a stones throw away from this venue. On this occasion I was with my mum. Our travel arrangements to our booking of 16:45 did not go according to plan so we were running late. No issues telephoned the Restaurant they held our booking as long as we could finish for 18:30 which was not a problem. On arriving we were a little bit frazzled however no worries, the staff including Tricia made us feel so welcome and relaxed. We had the Haggis Trio which is a favourite of mine and Burger both of which were delicious. We ate downstairs which is very intimate as you are seated close to other diners. This makes, in my opinion, for a pleasant atmosphere and we spoke to a lovely couple sitting to next to us. Tricia along with other staff made us feel really special and could not do enough to make our visit thoroughly enjoyable. Will be back. Thanks to all the staff we spoke to or were served by you made our day out extra special.

The Beef Sunday Roast was so delicious. The beef was tender and the array of vegetables delicious and perfectly cooked. The sauces (au jour and bone marrow) added to the flavor. The waitress recommended a caramel meringue dessert that was fantastic as well. I dine out a lot and it was in top 5 meals out. Really, really good. Tannah, Tasha and Esther were efficient and friendly serving and giving recommendations when asked.

Went on a recommendation from a local, was pleasantly surprised with the quality of food and service, top steakhouse, would highly recommend 👌

Always a friendly welcome. Wine selection is great and the food fantastic.

Spent a Saturday afternoon here with 8 member of my family for my mums 70th birthday and the experience was excellent. I had visited a few years ago and found the food and service to be brilliant so was keen to try again. I had to pre-order due to the amount of people we had and the fact that it was a Saturday, a little different to what I'm used to but everything went smoothly. If I had to have a little grievance I would say that when I had to change a couple of orders a few days before, and phoned to do this, whoever took my call never managed to actually relay this onto the staff that served us on the day. Right, down to the food. Most of us had fillet steak and the standard and taste was outstanding. Cooked to perfection and my table was very satisfied. The food standard, from what I remember, has not dropped and we couldn't have been happier. Starters were all given pass marks also. Service, now this is what stood out on the day. Tricia was terrific, nothing was too much trouble and her bubbly sociable self was a breath of fresh air. I can't give Tricia enough praise for her level of attention and service. The rest of the staff were also very good too. Overall, a brilliant restaurant for a scran, good atmosphere and prices are not over the top. You pay for quality food and that's what you get. Keep up the good work!!

Food was incredible, steak was amazing, service topped it off from as soon as we walked in. Very warm welcome from both Tricia and Tom. Cannot wait to be back!

Food was delicious and well prepared and cooked

We had a great dinner and they were super friendly. The meat was spectacular. good discovery

amazing food and atmosphere! first time in this great wee restaurant. Big thank you to Sam for everything 💓

Had the haggis starter followed by the 400g sirloin. Superb and excellent service.

Had Sunday roast with my son. He loved it. Food was delicious and staff are excellent. Been a few times now and recommend it all the time. Can't wait for the next visit.

I popped in on the off chance I'd get a table and thankfully I did. The food was lovely and the staff were all friendly

Amazing steak from the grill. Excellent staff attitude and really friendly

Loved it! We had the Chateaubriand deal, 700g steak, salad, parmesan fries and onion rings, with a small glass of red wine each. We will be back. A small space so be sure to book

Found this little restaurant on Google and it was the best place we ate in Scotland. We took the Angus fillet with potatoes and found them truly exceptional. Juicy and soft meat and the fries fried to perfection. Everything was so good that we took another portion. The livale is also really nice. Well done. Compliments.

Thank you for the late welcome and your kindness.

Quiet environment, good music at the right volume, excellent dishes and very good service.

A lovely intimate restaurant with friendly staff and great food! Came here to celebrate my partners birthday and we were not disappointed! All of the staff were so friendly and really took care of us, a particular thank you to Olivia and Glen!! The food was perfect and my partner said it was the best burger he had had! We will definitely be back.

Excellent steaks, even the chips were excellent, very friendly and warm staff in a casual, cozy atmosphere.

I am in a food heaven. We had the venison dish and it was so good. The teenager in our group did not want to eat anything else as it would take away the great after taste. I did have the Bee garden desert and it was the perfect light dessert after such an amazing meal. Food is great and ambience is good

We had dinner in this restaurant with family after a day of visiting Glasgow. The meat was excellent and the sauces divine. The products are fresh. Special mention for the kindness and friendliness of the waitresses (Leyla and Zoé), a joy!

Superb steaks! Love the quiet atmosphere.

Exquisite!!! I enjoyed food here its a different level of dining. I had deer steak!! The presentation of the food adds up to this experience. I highly recommend it!!

Only negative: they don't accept American Express cards.

Delicious and Yummy food.Tmas and Carman provides excellent service😃

Went for the Sunday Roast, only thing missing was skirlie but not complaining the meal was yum Glad to have found this place

We chose Mini Grill for dinner while in Glasgow. Ester took exceptional care of us from the second we arrived. Her recommendations for wine and food were great. Treat yourself to this restaurant.

Great evening celebrating our anniversary. Esther made us feel very welcome and had great customer care. The food was 10/10!

Would highly recommend the Sunday roast, the meat comes within a large and very delicious Yorkshire pudding, the sauce is lovely and complements the veg and potatoes well. The portion is more than enough and the other cuts look and smell amazing as well. A place can often be judged by the kids menu and hand made chicken and hand cut chips are certainly a good indication. Overall the atmosphere is unnoticed in an appreciable way, the food is all you need to focus on. The service was amazing, a rarity in Scotland, ready to give anything and very accommodating. 5/5

Outstanding steak, young South African girl was lovely and very pleasant to deal with. It is quite expensive but it didn't disappoint, definitely worth the extra for what is served up.

Pretty disappointing experience. Went for the Sunday roast. The chicken was a measly portion, barely any gravy and boiled unseasoned disappointing veg. Really don't recommend going here for the roast, you can get better elsewhere. Staff are friendly though, service was completely fine.

I Read the reviews and was so looking forward to my visit. I travelled from Birmingham for this special meal with Friends. Sadly it was very disappointing, they forgot to do one of the main meals, had asked for scallops as a main, when it eventually came there was only 4 on the plate, then 3 of the 4 steaks we ordered had to go back as tough as old boots. They did us new steaks, two of them was very good, but the fillet was still not great. We had to ask for more vegetables as they had gone cold whilst waiting , this should have been done automatically. We were given some free drinks and the bill was reduced down to rectify what had happened, but would have much preferred a good meal after driving 6 hours for the evening. Sadly I doubt we will go back there

Back again, Trica was fantastic and looked after us well. Great place, Great food!

We had lunch here on the 7/7/2024 and the food and the service was excellent and outstanding, second to none!!!! I wish I could rate the place more, but unfortunately I can’t. Definitely 20/10 and would recommend this place to anyone! Will definitely be back again!

My husband and I ate here last night and all I can say is WOW...my husbands ribeye steak was cooked to perfection and I had the best burger I have ever eaten, staff were lovely and very attentive (but not too much) will certainly be back.

We had a very warm,hospitable welcome from leyla right off,which set us up for a nice experience,, the food was excellent,, we had a "my dine" voucher, which was great value,, and our steaks were amazing, all the staff were very friendly service and food 10 out 10..would highly recommend, well done leyla see you again soon.

Smashing dinner, staff went above and beyond

Service is Great but They don't have LAMB on the menu anymore.

Lovely place. Welcoming and pretty decor. Food was delicious, specially the haggis!

The steak was spot on. Quite pricey but of high quality. The sides were nondescript. The chicken salt fries didn't really taste of anything particular and the seasonal veg and blue cheese dip was a bit bland. Wine choices by the glass was good. Recommend you book but the website is flunky so ring and check.

We’ve been coming here for a really long time and usually love Mini Grill and their entire menu. Cannot recommend the steaks enough, the burger is also one of the best I’ve tried! However, I would definitely say the restaurant has suffered recently. I LOVED their previous risotto which was mushroom and truffle, however the new risotto is god awful. Tonight, we also ordered onion rings which never came with our food, then when we ordered them they came out undercooked which was a real shame. Hoping it was just a bad night! But pleaseeee bring back the old risotto, I feel for the poor vegetarians.

Steaks cooked to perfection as always and starters were lovely very friendly staff and got a birthday treats as well thanks again for a good night

Place was very nice. Food was delicious. We ordered burger, ribeye steak and onion rings. Would always be a choice when we come back to Glasgow.

We had a wonderful experience in this restaurant. It was my daughters birthday, and because of our travel she couldn't celebrate it with her friends. The staff made this dinner a party with great food and an exited staff!

When I went to visit Glasgow, walking around and trying to find a nice little place to eat a good meal I stumbled upon Mini Grill and was extremely satisfied with my meal. The burger here was one of the best burgers that I have ever had.

Great meal. Buddy and I had excellent service from Leyla and Stacey. Not sure what they pay these fine ladies but it isnt enough. Both good hearted people with a natural ability to take care of people. And the steak was good too. 💕🙏

Although we didn't like Glasgow, the food in this restaurant is almost a reason to visit the city again. We enjoyed the incredibly tasty haggis trilogy and the Chateaubriand to the full. If you're looking for a steakhouse, look no further. It doesn't get any better than this!

Very good delicious food. Staff was very friendly. But food is expensive

Great food, service is awesome, would highly recommend this venue and will definitely visit each and every trip to Glasgow

I had issues with a 5pm voucher but contacted Mini Grill Steakhouse directly, and everything is now sorted. Very helpful so far, and I'm looking forward to a Sunday roast!

Rip off , meal was ok but certainly doesnt warrent the price tag , better off going to mc Ds , wont be back!

It is a very friendly business in its own right. The food is very delicious. The employees were the most caring people I have encountered in this country. We would especially like to thank Leyla for her good energy and interest. It was a very nice moment for us. I recommend you go by making a reservation.

Excellent bone in ribeye steak that was cooked to perfection.

Lovely bit of squirrel, great staff to boot

Nice cozy place. Big portions. Food was ok. But heavily overpriced. 110£ for two people.

Excellent 3 course dinner. The service was excellent. Very nice small dining atmosphere .

Absolutely fantastic meal, the host was superb and made us feel really welcome, wil definitely be back

Amazing Sunday roast chicken, and friendly and chatty staff. Definitely would recommend :)

The best steakhouse in glasgow by far. Great service, great portion size, fantastic atmosphere, food is unreal 5*+ Highly recommend

Delicious and delicious, the service is also very good

Fantastic food and service. A wee gem of a place.

Only one word WOW !!!!! Never had anything like it, food was out of this wotld and the service was excellent

Fabulous food will visit again.

although the recommended was medium cooked grill steak it turned out dry n slightly charred, the accompanying sauce n potatoes were fantastic though

Super nice little restaurant Very friendly and attentive staff. Very good cuisine

Went on holiday to Glasgow and decided to try out this steak house just down the road from our hotel, staff member Sam was absolutely lovely! The steak was perfectly cut and the wine was lovely. If we ever come up Glasgow again for sure we’d come back

£88 for a tomahawk steak, horrible taste from the steak and around quarter of the steak was totally inedible due to how tough the meat was! It was a battle to cut through it never mind chew it. Would definitely not recommend this place if you are looking for a premier steak house as it’s far from it.

No sign of no dogs allowed. No info to find regarding this at all. Tried to call ahead and the phone is not being answered, so went ahead and took the trip from the Malmaison. Not only are dogs not allowed but they were closing at 20:45! Just disappointing.

This is my favourite place to get steak in Glasgow. Restaurant is lovely and intimate great place for date night. Food is always amazing including the sides.

Best steak in Glasgow! Steaks, sauces & sides are amazing, best mac n cheese I've had in a long time too! We got the chateaubriand sharing steak 10/10

Relaxing atmosphere, great staff and excellent food.

Mouth watering Carnivorous Heaven!!! If you love meat you're home in the Mini Grill Steakhouse, Bath Street, Glasgow. I only wish I could eat more. Chefs know how to get the best from a cut of beef, chicken and fish even the vegetables are dynamite!!!

Visited for my husband's birthday. What a lovely place . Great atmosphere, steaks were amazing and service was excellent. Will definitely go back.

Incredible food, incredible service and just an amazing place to eat! The staff are so friendly and make you feel welcome and possibly the best food I have eaten.
