Great place to go for Baby Back pork ribs and chips. Ribs are really delicious, and chips are…read moremelting in the mouth. If I lived in Edinburgh, I would probably pay a frequent visit to Reekie's. They offer a good variety of meats from pulled pork to steaks and different sauces. I went for half rack of ribs grilled with Irn Bru Bbq sauce and their special hand cut rooster potatoes with meat dust. The place has a self service, therefore be ready to order at the counter and choose your seat. The staff is friendly and will advise you the best beer to your taste - I was pleased with the recommendation of Post Modern Classic Punk IPA from Brewdog. It's interesting to note the smokehouse is student and kid friendly, offering a student discount on Tuesdays and boasts a cool corner for the kids where they can color a pig or a bull to their taste and stick it on the wall.

I had the beef brisket sandwich and fries with their own special seasoning. They have a tasty array of homemade sauces and relishes to choose from to accompany your slow cooked meaty goodness. Was also impressed by the selection of locally produced drinks, they even stocked Roots sodas which I love! Only minor downside is that this place doesn't have the most reliable openings (perhaps once their slow cooked goodness is finished they close up?) so it took a couple of attempts to visit. Would love to come back and next time I'll save room for cake! Note: I had my camera, ready to snap the deliciousness... before I knew it I had delved in and started - oops!

I met a friend here for dinner, and it was warm and inviting on a rainy day. I wanted steak, and…read morehad seen this place in passing, and finally got around to having dinner here. 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.

Too bad - it could've been so nice. Sunday morning brunch…read moreis sometimes a special hangover time and you want to be taken care off. Well in my view anyway. The promise of a fresh waffle with bacon and maple syrup with a Bloody Mary was music to my ears. Good thing that I didn't actually had an hangover otherwise I would have been really annoyed during this visit. The owner / manager showed us to our table. Which was nice, close to the heater. He took our voucher for the brunch and asked if we wanted coffee or tea. - huh? I sometimes like simple, non fuss choices this wasn't one of those moments though. I did find out from the drinks menu there were slightly more choices, but I got the idea that on the voucher it was either coffee OR tea. When our coffee & tea arrived I noticed no sugar on the table - or any table - so it was something that should have been served with the order - so I got up to ask the waiter/owner/manager for some and promptly he did bring some. - It should really be served with the Coffee & Tea (since that wasn't really that complicated of an order to start with) We ordered our waffles; mine with bacon and maple (?) syrup and the wife scrambled egg and salmon. The waffles were of the very thin, round Tefal waffle-maker variety. Shame, as I was expecting a nice thick square Belgium waffle. But yeah a waffle we did get. The bacon was OK and crisps, the syrup tasted golden NOT maple and very little was served. *sigh* here we go again.. I had to ask waiter (non owner / non manager) for extra maple syrup and some butter to moisten the waffle. - which was not offered nor were we asked if anything was to our satisfaction. The Bloody Mary was big, nice. No celery stick, not nice. - and here I went again.. this time asking for Worcester sauce and white pepper. - no white pepper on the premises - but celery salt was offered - thanks. Too many times I had to ask for additional things that you'd expect to be on the table or served with an order. - that staff was not easily approachable. I did try from my seat, but to get things I really had to get of my seat and go to the bar/serving/kitchen area. It was in all a bit of an disappointing visit. it is difficult to complain about having to ask for something and if it was only one thing fine.. but so many things that needed to be asked for was very annoying.

Only minus point were the loaded fries, wouldn't get again, nothing exciting about them- regular fries in a soup bowl with a ladleful of gravy. Presentation needs elevated. In all, a good meal, and would return.

I waited a little bit and no one showed up to greet me so I took a moment to take a small video of the dining area and front counter when I hear a lady from behind me yelling at for making my quick video. She demanded I delete the video immediately- I was still in shock that she had yelled at me in front of the other customers who are now looking at both of us. Feeling awkward I told it was just one person to eat here and she sat me down and walked away. After a few minutes, while she was gone in the back, I noticed a few other tables were either waiting to get their order out in or waiting for their food. After some time, I see her walking back to the front, I get up and let her know I changed my mind, that I don't want to eat here so she simply smiled in agreement. Not recommending this place to anyone. I hope if you decide to visit that you have a better experience than I did.

Crombie's is a darn impressive butcher located on Broughton Street. I come here when I want to feel…read morefancy at dinner time (and when I have the cash to spend). I've bought an amazing lamb rack, steaks, sausages and short ribs from here. All of which have been outstanding. Firstly, the sausages. Crombie's are famous for them! And they are delicious. Well worth the trip just to stock up on sausages. Everything else, the quality of the meet has been great. I've recently purchased a sous vide machine so anything that can be slow cooked for hours is going from Crombie's butcher straight into my machine for hours on end. One thing, it's expensive compared to what you'd get from the grocery stores. I've found the quality to be way better but be warned- it might put a dent in your wallet. Great selection of marinades, ready to cook pies and other savoury pastries, and service is always friendly and helpful.

Crombie's is the best butcher in Edinburgh and luckily it is located just around the corner from my…read moreflat, hurrah! If you mention this place to any self respecting Edinburgh carnivore, they should acknowledge you with a contented sigh ("ahhhh, Crombie's") and a wistful look in their eye. Their sausages are widely regarded as amongst the best in the UK and they supply lots of local restaurants with them to keep the punters happy. There are many different varieties to choose from and they range from the traditional (pork, chipolatas, Scotch beef) to the exotic (boar, pork and stilton is an inspired and tasty combination). Asides from sausages, they do the usual butcher cuts of meat (steaks, lamb etc) and meals for you to heat at home if you can't be bothered cooking. Most of the meat is locally sourced and everything is incredibly good quality. It's just a shame that they close at 5.30pm, far too early for those of us with office jobs.

A godsend: good barbecue in Britain--the best we've found, and not just because they actually know…read morethe difference between "barbecue" and "grilled food". In case you're skeptical, they often have samples--after which, resistance is futile. I've now visited just twice and wish I could go more often. Not only does the barbecue smell alluring, look great, and taste wonderful, but Toby also said what any great pit-master should: "We're still experimenting." Oh, to be a test subject for all those experiments. Food (4.5): Excellent applewood-smoked pulled pork sandwiches (£4) made with local ingredients. Personally, I'd suggest skipping the (tasty) chili jam, which I think over-powers the smoke and pork. The ribs (a new experiment) were great--moist and tender with a good bark (no mean feat)--though I personally would've liked a little more of a smoke ring and a tad more of the delicious barbecue sauce. If Toby starts making oak- or mesquite-smoked brisket, I'll have to initiate a weekly pilgrimage to Edinburgh. People (5): Great people; great service. They know barbecue and will sell you a smoker (or maybe a pit). They're also happy to talk shop... though maybe not to divulge secret ingredients. Side note: I grew up in Texas and have a high bar for barbecue. If you're an aficionado, this probably won't be the best you've ever had, but it's very good and it's certainly the best we've had in Britain. Also, they seem to be aiming to master a range of barbecues. (Right now, it seems mostly NC-style.) It's absolutely worth a visit now, and I'd really love to see what they'll have after a couple more years of experimentation. P.S. I can't believe they keep it up through the Scottish winter. That's dedication.

The best pulled pork I've tasted so far.... since first tasting their pulled pork roll last year…read moreI've made the mistake of having it in various other restaurants and realised the thing Jones & Son do so well is the sauce that's added into the pork - it's just so damn tasty!!!! The combo of the "slaw" and chilli jam is just delicious. Go go go!
