You gotta have the mash and bangers . They also have a good but small selection of local beers . Price is definitely reasonable and it is not too far from the Royal Mile.

Julia Kaid

Their speciality are sausages and mashes and those are REALLY good! Lamb and mint sausage is must try. Try also Thistly Cross cider from whiskey cask ! Strong, but delicious!

Rafa Larrañaga

The staff is really friendly and the food is good since is really comfort food , you should expect to leave this place with a couple of pounds on your belly.

Thaís Soares

Reasonable prices and friendly staff . This place is so good we went there twice during our 5-day stay in Edinburgh. Try the stake and ale pie and you won't regret it.

Julia Mello

The atmosphere of this place is just the best! Staff are super friendly and makes the difference. Sausages are great! Try the veggies as well , you won't regret.

Main meal: Shepherds Pie was delicious ???? dessert : Treacle & Date Pudding was good … definitely we recommend this restaurant

Hope Whitehead

Pancakes were so good and filling and were the perfect blend of salty and sweet. Best breakfast in ages

J Tt

Had a great dinner here. Excellent service and the sausages are delicious. I like the red pepper + chilli and the lamb and mint sausages

Andy Robinson

Pancakes with bacon and maple syrup are incredible. Try the luxury hot chocolate too.

Felipe Conde

Super friendly staff . British menu at its best ???????? Great music selection

Fraser Geraghty

Great food and friendly service . Not your average sausage , you can tell that there's effort put into the cooking, but you don't pay extra for it

Halsted Bernard

Most of Mum's sausages are gluten-free, and there is always a gluten-free gravy on hand. The service is friendly and fast.

Kieran Smyth

These are the best burgers in town . Try the chips . Home made , crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Adam Whitehead

The pancakes are amazing!! Service was impeccable as well . Highly recommended.

Jan A

My venison burger with blue cheese was excellent. Pies are great as well , as are the milkshakes . Staff is very welcoming.

Elise

Great comfort food , amazing desserts and fun staff . A must visit if you're in Edinburgh!

Thomas Seberechts

We had really nice pies at a great price. Don't forget to get a craft beer with it.

Jimmy Angelakos

Excellent artisan sausages , best place for bangers & mash ! Very good staff

Harith Al Jahwari

Assiel

Great food, super friendly staff , cool music . Highly recommended

Anna Vimes

Giant portions ! Probably the best pie I've eaten in my life ????

Layla

Really wanted to like this place, but food’s a bit overpriced, the fried camembert was almost burnt, same with the fries . Staff was very friendly though and mac and cheese was ok.

Brittany Sübers

Vegetarian haggis and mushy peas . The starter sizes are half the price and still a decent portion. ????

Josh Barton

The staff here are amazing. Sausage and mash were good too, but the service was 10/10

Sofie ʚϊɞ Tal

Beautiful vintage cosy place with comfort food

Have to have Bangers and one of their 18 different mashes . awesome! :-)

Bianka M

The milkshakes are really good, especially Reese Cups, and if you want a pie try the Pumpkin & Sage !

John Clark

Great home cooking

James Wright

The Eggs Benedict was great. And so was the coffee .

Daniel Autumn

Not too bad! Had a chicken breast burger and a Reeces Cup milkshake which were spectacular. Staff lovely. Nice enough, decor was a bit underwhelming. 7/10!

Iris Veldwijk

Order the Wellington and talk to the nice waitresses !

leticia frungillo

Good food! Good price!

Annie Cappetta

Gave three of us severe food poisoning- pie crust was not cooked through among other issues

Elena Ego

The friendliest place in the whole Edinburgh.

Gotta love it - the Brittish equivalent of an American diner - Instead of burgers & bries its bangers , mash & gravy !

Kim Hutton

The milk shakes here are the best. Coffee ! NOM!

Gavin Morrice

"The pancakes and bacon are awesome!!!" - An American

Betty Kaplan

Service was not at all as amazing as everybody said. Guess they were busy. Bread is not good. Haggis is not fried. Soup is ok. Yay for vegetarian options !

Going Kraut

Try the porter ! It's very tasty.

Κωνσταντίνος Παυλίδης

Stick to the pies . Burgers are overcooked.

paul doffman

Very very wicked nice bangers and mash for all the family! highly choice!

Serg

Holy fuck the stake & ale pie ... #foodboner

???????????????????? dnǝʇsɔɥ

Tastes like packaged food, except it's also overcooked and bland.

Bianka M
