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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Good food, crispy light batter on fish, nice fresh made tartar sauce. Wife had gammon, nice juicy cut, not thin and dry like supermarket gammon. Nice decor, friendly.

A truly excellent place, brilliant food (including a good range of gluten free options) excellent polite and knowledgeable staff, lovely atmosphere, great decor quite a lot of money must have been spent on the refurb, but well worth it - Toilets are excellent. This is...a brilliant place and deserves to do well my only minor complaint would be that the range of beers could be improved. Thank you for the brilliant meals we had whilst staying in the areaMore

Really nice clean spacious restaurant. We had a brilliant Sunday lunch there but we’re particularly impressed with the friend staff - in particular a lovely young lady named Heather! Thank you! Definitely recommend this place!!

A gem of a pub, never mind the service statins on the M74. Pull off an eat here, you won’t be disappointed. Lovely food and a lovely pub friendly staff. Steak night was well worth it. Many thanks

After moving to Dumfries 2 years ago we've spent almost every weekend looking for the "best" Sunday lunch. Some establishments have been award winning and some have been hidden gems. Today we had our first visit to The Station and we're very happy. We are...very critical (between ourselves) but couldn't find a thing to be critical of! Food was delicious, service was excellent and the large Yorkshire pudding on the shredded roast beef lunch was a meal in itself!!!! Well done to everyone at the restaurant and in the kitchen we will certainly be calling again. ThanksMore

Superb food, drinks & service. Good value too in my opinion. Not our first visit. Not our last. All had 3 courses. All were commented on favourably with the family. Maybe needs some guest ales / craft beers? Otherwise faultless. Even the loos are spotless!

Absolutely lovely village pub. Very friendly and welcoming. We had Sunday dinners and all opted for the giant Yorkshire pudding! Now the word giant falls well short of how monstrously big these things are! Surprised they didn't have their own postcode!!! Seeing the size of...these I assumed the quality must suffer. Couldn't have been more wrong! Am from Yorkshire and lived these 44 years so it's fair to say I've had many Yorkshire puddings and these are way up there with the best! So came from Yorkshire to Scotland and had better Yorkshire puddings than most back home in Yorkshire hahaha! All food was superb quality! Couldn't fault anything! Make sure you book though as it seems very popular.More

The first time visiting The Station for many years. It has been updated and so lovely inside ... very light airy and decor fitting the pub with a nod to its history. Toilets were superior and spotless too! Service was excellent and staff were attentive...We enjoyed our food which was delicious and very fresh. We will be back ... many times I'm sure as we are local. Highly recommend.More

We were staying at a local Airbnb and the owner suggested this spot. We couldn't have been more happy with the food and service. The waitress was especially attentive to our needs as vegetarians. The food was beautiful. Highly recommended.

Called in on our way to a wedding in Scotland as it was very close to the Mway and we’d read the reviews. Really pleased we did. Lovely pub with a helpful, friendly and efficient owner. We had fish and chips and crumble. It was...all really good, didn’t have to wait long and generous portion sizes. Can thoroughly recommend.More

Stopped for lunch after a visit to relatives, the food was great with big portions and cooked fresh. Friendly service, and although the pub was busy it was served about 10 minutes after ordering. Cosy inside, and the toilets were new and spotless.
