I never expected to be eating South African grill in Scotland, but that's where I found myself on a…read morecold winter night in Edinburgh. We had found this place after asking an unsuspecting passerby on the street on recommendations for dinner, perhaps thinking that the local patrons will take us to stories untold. Or perhaps my fingers would have froze if I had taken them out to Yelp. Upon waddling up to the second floor of the building where Shebeen is located, the strong savory smells of hearty slabs of meat enveloped and ensnared us. My dad was dead set upon eating here. The only problem was that the restaurant was entirely booked! (Go make reservations if you don't want to wait!) The waitress told us that we would have to wait about 30 minutes for a table to clear. And so we waited. Thank goodness the locals showed us mercy and a table cleared up a bit earlier than expected. I was starving at this point. But nothing could have prepared me for the onslaught that would come ahead. I didn't particularly feel like digging into a piece of steak, so I ended up ordering a burger. My parents got steak, although they were disappointed that the place didn't serve cheetah and lion meat. (Those were the names of the different sizes of the steaks.) Then came more waiting. It felt like almost an eternity as we watched everyone else vigorously tear into their entrees like a pride of lions feasting on a kill. My burger was enormous! And so were their steaks. The smallest size would definitely be enough for any normal person's appetite. I could end up only consuming half of my burger in the end, not that it wasn't absolutely delicious. The sheer amount of pulled pork on top of the patty seemed excessive, but hey I guess this place is a meat lover's haven. It also came with some potato wedges and a giant portobello mushroom! The mushroom was the perfect texture. However, it was smothered with a mountain of garlic. Good thing I wasn't on a date.

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.

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.
