Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Popped in this morning, seeing the breakfast for £2.95 couldn’t pass up on that. For the price, the meal was nice and no complaints. The seating area was clean, tidy and you could see the entertainment opportunities with the bar and event goings on. I’d definitely go again and recommend to anyone looking for value for money breakfast."
"Amazing prices. £10 for large roast and a glass of wine, £6 for spice bag including Guinness. £1.25 for a cake. Homemade chips. All food was lovely. Service pleasant, cafe clean, every seat full on a Sunday. Don’t understand the bad reviews."
"Ordered a delivery Sunday dinner today of uber eats, took a whole to come but fair play the food was fantastic, very tasty, well cooked beef and plenty of gravy, will definitely be ordering again :)"
"I travel the world full time and have to say Granny Mac's is one of my favourite places. Best Guinness in Cardiff, great atmosphere & 10/10 pub performers. Gotta be done"
"Best pint of Guinness in Cardiff! (For £4.85). Friendliest landlady as well as the owner. Always up for chat with you and the regulars are a great laugh too. Really care about the quality of their Guinness and have a good selection of other drinks (Budvar, Neck Oil, Inches etc). Haven't tried the food but good selection of bar snacks (Taytos) and they do a spice bag if that tickles your fancy. Often have live music on weekends and the atmosphere is always top. Local favourite!"
"Great place to get a cheap roast dinner, £9.95 for full roast with a glass of wine. Good music and service. Able to host our large group with no problem. Will be returning :)"
