Don't usually rate food places even if they're bad, I just usually never order again and move on.. but this restaurant are the exception. Ordered a £17 big breakfast box and tossed it straight into the bin. Cold, potato scones, bacon and square sausages are solid, broke one of my fillings. Also didn't bother packing my 2 cans of juice or give any hash browns which as advertised, so quids down with that too. First and last time ordering.

Overview
Bite 'N Bolt is a small daytime cafe on Gallowgate, a short walk from the Barras — breakfast rolls, full Scottish plates with Glasgow nicknames (The Wee Yin / The Big Yin), baked tatties, pasta, toasties and burgers. Morning rolls start around £3.20–£4; a Wee Yin breakfast with tea or “cooncil coffee” is about £6.50. Diners mention food cooked to order, funny Glesga banter from staff, and decent fries with the burgers. Gluten-free burger and fries options get a mention on Find Me Gluten Free, though it isn’t a dedicated GF kitchen — ask if that matters. Phone 0141 548 8884; Uber Eats also lists the shop. The bitenbolt.com domain currently parks as for sale, so don’t rely on the website. Typical hours run morning into mid-afternoon (around 7.30am–3pm weekdays, a bit later at weekends on Google). Same Gallowgate address also appears on delivery apps as Barras Bite / Barras Bites — if ordering online, double-check it’s the shop you mean.
Reviews
Always get our food delivered from here, its consistently good. Big portions, and always arrives warm. Definitely recommend
Read on Google MapsThis was £16 on its own! , missing items , pale links , tiny tub of beans , no cans of juice although paid for , spoonful of mushrooms! Very long wait for what seems to be a half done order
Read on Google MapsBeen coming here for years, new owners now only put 1 slice of bacon in a doubler roll and charge you £3 for the privilege. Won’t be seeing me again if that’s the case.
Read on Google MapsHad tried to get in here numerous times when I've been down to Glasgow but it was always really busy. We were both absolutely starving and couldn't find anywhere half decent so I decided that we would give it a try. All food cooked fresh to order and the three ladies were working their socks off. They'd a rush on and were dealing with existing customers walk ins and the deliveries too. Food seemed to take ages and there was only one table which was taken up by one man who wasn't moving for nobody. Two tables outside but no chairs....however after the considerable wait we headed back to the car and by then we were almost fainting with hunger. I'd a bacon cheeseburger and chips. Oh my days. Stone cold bargain and the chips stayed piping hot perfectly seasoned and the burger was a meal in itself. Extremely satisfying and thoroughly enjoyable. Beloved had a burger with cheese spicy chicken macaroni bacon and chips. He'd never tried it and wasn't sure what to make of it but he thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. Both £8.00 each and we couldn't manage supper because we were still stuffed! The food was piping hot everything spotless and the three ladies were handling the orders like seasoned pros. One thing that really impressed me apart from the fact nothing was any bother to the staff regarding orders was the fact that customers could choose the type of rolls they wanted. This is something I'd never encountered before but one of the customers told me that if you ask for a crispy roll you get it. Only minor gripes were the lack of seating areas and the front of the shop only holds two or three customers tops. Food? Brilliant. From Inverness with love girls and well worth the wait! Sensibly priced and fast service. What's not to love?
