Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Cannot speak highly enough about this fabulous wee find….now located in London Road, near the Barrowlands. Todays brunch was Loaded Burger Fries & The Catalonian Toastie….wow! Already previously tried the loaded fries in previous visits….always a firm favourite of ours, and just delicious! The toastie,...tried for the first time today, absolute taste sensation - tasty, flavours are just perfection! Service is friendly & efficient, cannot wait until our next visit….thanks again Scran ❤️ #scranlover #deliciousfoodMore

As good as it gets. Food is excellent, service is excellent, cakes are amazing and the coffee is fantastic. Great effort goes into making this place fantastic. I visited the old Scran the day it opened and the new location is true to its roots....Always a pleasure visiting and I could recommend pretty much everything.More

Having heard so much about this place, I went along for my lunch. It's a small cosy place with a few tables and a reasonable sized menu. The recommendation was to try the chicken schwarma, which I did. I also ordered their loaded halloumi fries....The food was fine. The wrap was small enough and was basically a chicken curry in a wrap with a bit of cabbage. The fries were fine but no more than that. I would have given Scran a rating of 3 but the staff were very good and very friendly and everything else was lovely.More

We had wanted to try their food for some time and finally were successful. In a waiting list for 45' we were contacted by message and found our tablet ready on arrival. Believe me, it's'not only eggs' it's great products, served with attention to taste...and flavours. I had the day special: focaccia with mortadella, tomatoes etc accompanied by a tomato soup with basil leaves. Delicious!More

We visited Scran yesterday after reading reviews about it. There are not many tables but we got a table immediately and the service was excellent. We had some rolls with sausage, bacon and potato scones and eggs Benedict. The rolls were lovely but the eggs...Benedict were amazing and presented so beautifully. Most of us stuck with tap water, which was brought over in a bottle but one of our group had a cappuccino, which was excellent. We really enjoyed our lunch and the staff were really friendly. Would highly recommend and will go back if we are in the area.More

Great welcome by friendly people. Instantly made you feel like a good place to eat. I had poached eggs on sourdough not expecting to eat it all as sourdough toasted can sometimes be hard!Not so, polished it off with a glass n ice of san...pellegrino pomegranate flavour. . Perfectly poached eggs, delicious! My daughter had the fries with halloumi and crispy onion which she really enjoyed too. I’ll defo be eating here againMore
