It is a very cozy place, with a beautiful history behind it. My boyfriend and I had the famous pies of the place. I had the Fish pie, and my boyfriend had one with Haggis, like a classic meat pie. Both were good, but nothing spectacular. My boyfriend had a beer, and it was really good. The staff was very kind :)
Greyfriars Bobby's Bar is a standout! Tried the salmon fish balls and steak pie, plus haggis, neeps, and tatties. Haggis was the highlight – delicious and savory.
Quick service, nice atmosphere.
No need to book ahead; walked in on a busy weekend during the Fringe Fest and had a great meal.
Honestly one of the best pub meals ever!
We were lucky to get a seat without booking, on an impromptu decision. Not so the folks trying just after us. It’s popular!
I had the sausage and mash. Husband had the wild boar pie.
Service was top class despite it being a Friday night and they were rushed off their feet.
Excellent place with traditional British food. One of the best fish and chips of Scotland. Also some great pie and cold beer.
Wonderful food and service! It was even better than I had read about. I had the chicken and mushroom pie with mashed potatoes and gravy and the vegetables were perfectly cooked.A goal of mine while in Scotland was to try sticky toffee pudding and my mind was blown by theirs.I highly recommend this establishment!
I had my first haggis experience here. It tasted better than I had expected. Nice and friendly service. Good stop for a drink and snacks.
Great atmosphere and very good ales. The fish and chips were excellent (quite fast service too. Remember to order at the bar and tell them the table number you are at so they can find you when the food is done. The night I was there was pretty raucous, but fun.
A historical marker and a good place for Scottish food (and live music). We had two different pies and they were superb. We went at dinner time on a Saturday night and it was crowded, but we managed to find seats downstairs. Warning - restrooms are not accessible for wheelchairs or those who cannot navigate stairs.
One of our best meals in town! I was expecting a touristy-type average quality (not because of reviews or anything, just because it is so recognizable) but I was blown away with how AMAZING the food was! Very flavorful and very friendly service. We had the Lentil and Veg Pie and the Salmon Dill Cakes with potatoes. I would happily try EVERYTHING on their menu again. We will definitely come back on our next trip to Edinburgh.
Lovely experience. Tried the Cullen Skink, smoked haddock "chowder like" soup, very tasty! Meat pie was also very good. Excellent service.
