With cheaper drink and simple pub bites, it's no surprise so many people stop by when they hit the town.
And some folk were so impressed with their local Spoons they left a great review after their visit.
Casino comparison site Suomicasinot scoured the reviews of every Wetherspoons in Scotland and found the ones with the best reviews.
The league was compiled based on the number of five star ratings on Google.
And the Spoons that got the best reviews in Scotland was the Caley Picture House in Edinburgh.
More than half (57%) of the reviews for the Lothian Road pub were five stars.
The pub is located in an old cinema, which opened in 1923, and is a Grade B listed building.
Despite the cinema closing down the building has lived on as a nightclub, music venue and now Scotland's best Wetherspoons with 6,661 reviews, with 3,852 of them being five stars.
The number two spot went to a pub further west.
The Prestwick Pioneer in South Ayrshire has raked in plenty of reviews and 48.5% of them were five stars from well-impressed punters.

Edinburgh's Standing Order had a five-star ranking of 47.3%.
The city centre pub received 10,951 reviews, and 5,185 of them had five stars.
Finally, The Corryvreckan in Oban came in fifth with 47% of top reviews, with 1,930 out of 4,104 being the top score.
Markku Kanerva, a spokesperson for Suomicasinot, said: 'Wetherspoons is one of Scotland's most loved pub chains, and with summer approaching, many Scots are looking for the perfect spot for a pint.
'While many of the top ten venues are located in the major city of Edinburgh, it's interesting that some of the most loved Wetherspoons in Scotland are in smaller towns, like Oban and Largs.
'With 60 Wetherspoons locations in Scotland, anybody is within reach of one, whether you're in a big city or a small town.'
