Came in on a Friday night super excited for a burger- my partner and I had been waiting for this all week! At 7pm the place was already full, but we were told if we could wait a few minutes a table would be available. So after some back and forth debtate, we decided to wait it out. This establishment is small, I don't think it could seat more than 20 people. There are about 6 tables, all in close proximity. Service was decent and we both just opted for the classic burger and fries combination. The food came out not long after and it really wasn't anything to be amazed by, I could have made this burger at home. Fried were good but you know, fries are always good. Nothing proprietary here. What I absolutely hated was the communal sauces concept- the whole idea just seems unhygienic and gross to me. There were a variety of sauces given to each table on a large platter, shared from table to table to have with your meal. One of the tubs was a tiny scraping of mayonnaise the other table had but we were given the rest of to finish- ugh, gross. Overall quite underwhelming and did not hit the spot. I'm sure there are better burger joints around where you don't have to share the sauce. I wouldn't return and I'm really disappointed- I was hoping to add this one to the list of local faves.

It had it all: delicious bacon and sausage, a surprisingly good black pudding (I didn't like it the last time I had it, but this was spiced very well), Heinz beans, fried tomatoes and mushrooms, and huge slices of toast.

I ordered steak fajitas, because it sounded amazing, though it was 15. So what, if it's good. The problem is that it was only ok. My friend's ribs were too fatty and he only ate some of them. His burger was small, and matched with tasteless pinkish tomatoes. He said he would never go back, and so while we enjoyed the ambiance, and the company, there is little point of spending what we spent for a meal that was less than grand. The staff were amazing, cute and sweet, and checked in on us a few times. If the food were only as good.

It was busy but was busy but we were able to get a table. Menu was your usual pub food. Nothing really much cheer about. Salad wise, we did notice that A LOT of places don't offer much.

I'm normally not one for long reviews, but in this case it's merited :) It has to be one of the best steaks I have had in Edinburgh, and almost matching up to Black and Blue in Vancouver (a compliment I would toss out lightly), I just managed to resist the urge to lick the plate to get the last of the rich blue cheese sauce. Totally worth checking out next time you have the urge to eat steak :) Was out and about looking for somewhere to check out for dinner, and Yelp suggested dropping in here. Very glad I did :) Burger deliciousness, they are giving Bread Meats Bread and Burger Meats Bun a run for their money. They recently renovated I was told. Very nice, friendly service, and a great burger, will have to stop back to check out the steaks I saw going by :)

Now though, the place looks fantastic with a relaxed Southwestern vibe, some quirky accessories and enough cool grey paint to keep the whole thing from feeling too kitsch. We ate the ribs and wings to start which were great (particularly the wings - perfectly chargrilled) and then both had the Boss Hog burger as our main, myself on a chicken fillet, my partner on a traditional beef burger. Both were great - well cooked and with just the right amount of juiciness. The service we received was attentive without being overbearing - no mean feat as the restaurant was deserted when we first arrived. Overall a great experience, and it's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

I don't generally write yelp reviews but had to come on here and warn everyone to stay away from this restaurant. I ate half of my sandwich and threw it up when I arrived home. My mother also got very ill from her wrap which consisted of 99% of a strange cheese and 1% lettuce and peppers. The fries were freezing cold (which doesn't really bother me but I just wanted to add that in here in case it would bother you.) The Mac and cheese was also disgusting and inedible. I planned to throw it away but gave it to a homeless man instead. He said it was horrible and he hadn't eaten in three days so that really says something.

The waitress who took us to our table was friendly and chatty and our waiter (Jaime) was great. I had fish and chips and it was a massive portion! It was pretty expensive (£12) but I got a 20% discount with my cinema ticket. Not bad considering the meal was good. To drink I had Pepsi which was good but a little bit watery from all the ice in the glass. The only real negative about the experience was that our table was next to the toilets and it was not busy so we could have been seated elsewhere. While Filling Station is pretty pricey, the cinema discount is good and if you take part in their survey you get a £10 discount!

Entered early evening as we had a toddler in our group, possibly about 6 tables with guests. The person who greeted us, went to get the table ready, then left all the cleaning products on the next table, and did not set the table. Food was ordered, and it didn't come out all at one time, it was staggered. One person ordered a toasted pulled beef sandwich - it was charcoaled, the bread was so burnt it was black. We returned this and it took an age for the replacement to come. During this time we wondered why the toddler was not eating the burger, on closer inspection it was also charcoaled. When the meals were served there was no cutlery on the table, we did ask for some and were told oh yes will get some for you, alas another fail as no cutlery materialised. When the server came back I told her I was taking the cutlery from the table behind. We entered the restaurant at 5:45pm and just prior to 7pm the replacement burnt sandwich was served. Disappointing on so many levels, one to avoid.

I had a pleasant pint of Orchard Cider (of the standard draft ciders this is one of the better ones) and listened to some smooth tunes. The staff were professional and fairly attentive, they also make decent cocktails (as I discovered on a second visit) and the food looks good, though I haven't yet had a chance to try it. Normally open until 1am, it also offers an alternative late night option on Friday and Saturday with a 3am license and food served until 2.30. As to the entertainment it is scheduled through the night, normally the evening set starts at around 7, though that is from memory... All in all Badabing is a chilled out bar to spend a few hours in and while I'll always be a rock and metal fan, sometimes it's nice to sit back relax and sip a cocktail, so I guess I'm a fan.

Someone has taken a classic (possibly read dodgy as fuck) 'spit and sawdust' (for the blood) bars and turned it into a trendy new thing. Initially what drew me to Bar Brig is its big Heverlee sign! It's a delicious beer and I don't find a lot of bars serving it in Edinburgh, and it's not very far from my house which helps of a week day night! I feel it's a confused little bar. They've a very well stocked bar, loads of interesting beers and gins and such, very much ticking the things that are in right now boxes, but the guy serving us (on a friday night) didn't really have much of a clue about anything. They bar clearly has a found objects thing going on, all the furniture is made of driftwood or something similar, which normally I find pretty annoying because it's uncomfy, but they've adorned the place with throws and cushions which actually makes it really cosy. A big plus for me, but the bar is really weirdly lit. Huge BRIG sign that floods the bar with LED light, and generally I feel they would be suited both turning the brightness down on that sign, and just generally going for warmer lights in the bar. I haven't tried the food yet, so there might be more to come from Bar Brig, but it's not massively charmed me...
