I almost NEVER give a review if it won't be 4 or better, but for this place I'll make an exception. Location is perfectly fine. First let me say that the woman who served us was wonderful, friendly, and clearly trying to put out fires everywhere. But beyond that, this was not a great spot. First off, it's Irish not Scottish (if that matters to you). The food was mediocre at best. Said server only arrived at our table after the first server had approached then left us and didn't return for 20 minutes. We finally changed seats, hoping someone would notice us. As you enter, there is the typical hostess stands, surrounded by a dirty ashtray, piles of dirty dishes, a plastic bag with someone's box of hair dye in it, a plastic trash bin. Not at all welcoming. The bar is not welcoming. The food is not good. Felt like an Applebees

From the US. We tried Cullen and skink first time as well as the wild mushrooms risotto. Both were delicious. The smoked haddock in the Cullen was simply amazing. Large portions and very friendly service. Glad we stopped in.

Excellent spot for meal in Inverness. It has a wonderful ambiance especially the booths. It's a pub but won't table service. They have live music today starting at 10:30. But the highlight is the food. My wife ordered the mussels. They were served in a light cream sauce with a hint of peppers. Sublime and plentiful. I had the soup wich was very good and the steak and Guinness pie. Excellent and so much food I could not finish. Top notch service

Typical Scottish pub on the banks of the Ness. Great selection of beers and whiskies. The typical food is also very good, generous portions and prices adequate for both quality and quantity.

We were so lucky to find this on our first night in Inverness. Busy Saturday night but they squeezed us in and great food and great staff and service. The next night we looked around for something better! Couldn?t find it so came back to Johnny Foxes! Don?t fix what ain?t broke! I?d go again and again etc?

Great restaurant/bar with friendly waiters and very tasty food. The food came very quickly. Service was great. Prices are even cheaper than in Germany. Plus the great location. Clear recommendation!

We got a tip from an American to try the Haggis & Neep Spring Rolls here. So, we went there for dinner. Almost all the tables were reserved, but the waiter, who greeted us very kindly, showed us to a table. The pub offers a good selection of various dishes, so everyone should find something they like. The waitstaff do their job cheerfully, and our drinks and food arrived quickly. The food is delicious; the recommended Spring Rolls and the "Foxes Steak & Guinness Pie" and "Foxes Chilli Burger" were top-notch. The atmosphere is cozy, even though the place is quite large and quickly filled up during our meal. Overall, highly recommended, for a good meal and a beer.

I can?t rate on food as I didn?t actually eat there, but as a visitor to Inverness over two weeks I kept finding myself coming back to Johnnys. The staff there are incredible, especially the doormen. Karaoke on Wednesdays was a blast. Next time I?m across the pond, I?m definitely stopping back in.

Absolutely loved our food. We had a bit of a wait so they came to fetch us at the bar. The Hostess was incredible - never once lost her patience with anyone despite being a busy night. The food was also incredible - haven't been so happy about a meal in ages. Now, one thing - there was a £2.50 charge to split a tiny little £7.50 slice of cheesecake which we were not made aware of and I happened to see on our bill. We'd already had a drink each waiting to be seated, starters and mains - I don't find it particularly appropriate to eke out an additional £2.50 from us if you're not even making the portion a bit bigger just because I wanted a bite of my partner's cheesecake. Doesn't cost £2.50 to wash a spoon. At the very least it would be kind to make folks aware they'll be charged.
I won't knock down the rating for £2.50, though. The food was incredible and so was the service of both our hostess and our bartender. No complaints about wait staff either, they were run off their feet.
Thanks for a great experience, and hope the feedback is helpful.
Edit: we've been informed a split is a drink (essentially)! It's great to have this clarity, but as I recall having settled our drinks at the bar I believe this may have been added mistakenly, leading to our assumption that it was from splitting the dessert. No harm done, like I said above, it's £2.50 - and it's good to know what that really was!
Vegetarian options: Several lovely vegetarian options!
