This was the last place we had dinner at and on one crazy day out in the city. I had burgers and they didn't let me down. Mine was a Smashburger with true bacon and cheese, pickles and a light amount of lettuce. My girlfriend got the chicken sandwich with pickled red onion, lettuce and a creme on top. We shared large shoestring fries and onion rings and had soda with it too. Its a nice place and the help was great. I was recommend going there when its not a fight night out in the streets. lol! read more

This place is a must-do in Edinburgh. They offer a nice variety of Burgers, Sandwiches, Wings, Fries, and all the fixings. My B-Rex Burger was probably the best vegan burger I've ever had, it included vegan bacon and cheese. Absolutely delicious! The fries were hot, fresh, crispy, and delicious as well. I came in shortly after 13:30 and was greeted and quickly seated. The server was very friendly, welcoming and inviting. She knew the menu well and offered both food and drink suggestions. Within 10-15 minutes, my food was on the table hot and fresh. The restaurant is very big, split level with plenty of seating. Very clean, and comfortable. Overall... great staff, delicious food, comfortable seating, and clean restaurant. I had a great experience and would definitely come back. Highly Recommended! read more

I got the Haggis burger, and it was so flavorful and huge. The portions were big for a good price. We were seated fast, and the service was great. There were only 2 servers, and despite it being busy, they were quick. Really impressive! It was lively inside and spacious. Would recommend! read more

Came here to eat after a long day of travelling. The staff was so nice and accomodating to let us put our luggage to the side and out of the way. We enjoyed our food. The burgers were tasty. Fries were crispy and delicious. The cheese on the fries were not very flavorful, but they were okay. Chicken tenders were small, but still good. Very chill vibe inside with a modern feel. Would recommend if you're craving burgers on the Royal Mile. read more

Our intended dinner spot had no space so we walked down here. Kids were in the mood for burgers and wife was hangry. The burgers, chicken sandwich and fries were all good and the service was friendly. The kids shared a sundae and enjoyed it. We all enjoy our burgers on the well done side so when our server said that was the only way they come we were totally cool with it - but if you like them bloody then beware. read more

We were hungry from our travels and happened upon this place. What a welcome respite. The burgers were good and hearty but not over cooked or over raw. The fries were crispy and good. My kid got the halumi fries and was happy. I liked my shake and my date liked his beer. All with pleasant service and great ambiance. They didn't sell tshirts to bring back for our friend Byron but they did give us some hot sauce. read more

1. Definitely get the fries next to the burger, it's definitely worth it. Perfectly crispy with nice spices, plus the burger isn't large 2. I understand why it took so long, the beef spent 10 minutes too long on the grill 3. The milkshake was fluffy and wonderfully executed but the American in me views the size as an affront to my culture 4. Had the shake come at the same time as the burger I would have been happier as I could dip my fries into it. Alas, due to the size and the time difference the shake was gone before the rest of the meal got to me :( 5. I loved the music read more

Decent burger but nothing over the top , it's a solid 3 , nothing spectacular but a good value

We had a very stressful day as Americans driving for the first time on the other side of the road through the Scottish highlands and after returning to our hotel with splitting headaches we just wanted some good, simple food. I thought I was just going to eat some chicken fingers and go to sleep but here I am writing a Yelp review because these were hands down the best chicken fingers I've ever had in my entire life. I know what you're thinking. Girl they're chicken fingers. But oh man. Soft, slightly crispy breading, juicy chicken on the inside. Plus the BBQ sauce is bomb and the branding is awesome too. Thanks for putting a spin on my otherwise wild day!!!! Update: We came back the next night. Too good to not eat these chicken fingers again. read more

Friendly staff. Flavorful burgers. Fresh ingredients. Tasty milkshakes. Consistent products. Gluten-free buns that actually taste good! Whether eating in or takeaway, Byron's is always a good, solid choice for your burger fix. Juicy, tasty burgers, delicious bacon and cheese...what's not to love?? Try the sweet potato fries. Delicious. (Some cross contamination risk abound so YMMV) read more

The food was delicious which is why it annoys me more that our service was such crap. It took 15 min after being sat for anyone to even come ask us what we wanted to drink. We ordered everything at once knowing we wouldn't see our waiter again for a while if we waited. The food came and as I mentioned, it was really good (which is why I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1). But once we finished, it took over 20ish minutes to get our check; even after directly asking for it. In the time we waited, another table next to us was sat and ordered their full meal, the table behind us paid and left even though we were done before them, and our waiter walked by us 8+ times without acknowledging us. Super frustrating. read more

Really great burger find in the heart of Old Town. Chicken sandwiches were also really yummy

Pros: -Modern vibe -Lots of seating -- The Classic Chicken Grilled chicken with LTO, pickles, and Byron's sauce. I ordered without the sauce and it came with a strange green color... possibly pesto? I didn't question it and dove in. It was delicious! Juicy chicken on a fluffy bun--what's not to like? No question that the chicken was the star--it was just as good eaten outside of the bun. Super satisfying. read more

We have always liked Byron, also this one, for the good burgers and the atmosphere. Also this time the food was great. However, a lot of the rest felt wrong. Entering, the waiter was distracted by deliveries. The drinks didn't arrive on time and everything else was extremely quick. The food arrived quickly, was cleared quickly and the music was set to make you eat quickly. On top of this there is a standard assumed 10% service charge. We'll give this a miss for a while. read more

Americans in Edinburgh eating at a burger joint seemed odd to me, but our daughter said that we must try this place and it was great! Burgers were juicy and very tasty but the hard milkshakes were next level, I had the Makers Mark shake and it was incredibly good! read more

Went for dinner here as this branch was right next to our hotel in Edinburgh. The food was excellent and the waitress we had was so lovely, I'm so upset I forgot to ask her name. She gave us a few suggestions on how to enjoy the food and even came to tell us she was going on her break and that her colleague (very lovely too) would be serving us in her absence. Burgers were brilliant and milkshakes very yummy. When we left a tip with the payment our lovely waitress came over mid-break to say thank you. That's the first time I've ever had someone do that and it was so sweet of her! Great service all round and loved the food too. read more

We found this place while wandering around The Royal Mile in Edinburgh looking for a place to eat. Most places were very crowded and Scottish law prevents young children from being at Pubs after 8pm (we had our 4 year old daughter with us). It was about 7:15pm and there was concern we would be done in time to be out by 8pm (they explained they could be fined). We stumbled across Byrons Burgers. The aromas from their kitchen which made their way outside their restaurant smelled amazing! It was somewhat crowded and we were a party of 6 so we went in to ask If they could accomodate us. We ended up speaking to the manager who offered to put a couple of tables together for us. We ordered various versions of their Burgers which were all awesome. 2 in our party also had the chicken sandwich (breaded) and the Tenders and Fries. Both good size and very good! I tried two craft beers (see pics). Both were good but I'd strongly recommend the Welsh Red - 'Cwtch'. That one was REALLY good! One of my sons had a vanilla milkshake and the other a Malt. Both really liked them. Fries and Onion Rings were really good too. Our waiter - Jaime - was incredible and made us feel very welcomed. Will definitely return to Byron when we return to Edinburgh! read more

With such a sought out location slap bang in the middle of the royal mile, Byron burgers opened its doors on a rainy Saturday night in January. I've been to quite a couple of their branches in London and have always left feeling satisfied with meaty goodness. The Edinburgh branch is no exception and visiting certainly filled a huge gap. I'd advise on getting the sweet potato fries as a side, as they're particularly yummy. The burgers come as medium as standard, so I asked for medium rare, which I'd also advise you do to get that desired pink middle that all burgers should have. The gfod overall, was good. It's certainly nothing mind blowing, but it's better than your usual tourist trap that I imagine the royal mile is full of. I've also got to mention the service. I'm pretty sure it's because of it being their opening night, but my goodness they were attentive. A little like the stepford wives of the waiting-on world, we were greeted and served by two very lovely, but very over the top waitresses throughout the meal. Very enthusiastic if a little invasive, but I'm sure that will tire in time. read more

Last night we joined the queues to raise money for the 1 Feeds 2 charity at the launch night of Byron's new Royal Mile location in Edinburgh. Burgers were just a £0.25 donation to the charity, and it was a great cause and a great deal! As such, we waited for an hour in the freezing cold in the queue but finally got in. The place was totally packed for the launch charity event, but the burgers were still excellent. I had the B-Rex which was a good quality burger with tasty BBQ sauce, onions, and even an onion ring on top! We also split the courgette fries (which weren't as flavourful as I would have liked) and the skin-on chips which were pretty good. Next time I'd get the sweet potato fries instead. The chocolate milkshake was a proper ice cream milkshake which was to die for! And that was the version without the booze added, but that sounded fab to add Bailey's or bourbon. Maybe next time! The servers were a bit overwhelmed and service wasn't amazing but I'll chalk it up to the packed night there which was a bit unusual. Overall, it was a delicious burger and milkshake, but like Joseph said it's a bit pricey (£12.50 for the burger plus another £3 or so for fries) but then again it's good quality and convenient right on the Royal Mile. #underdog read more

Edinburgh continues to embracing the burger trend with the latest addition from London chain Byron. It falls somewhere between the mainstream chains like handmade burger/GBK and the more independent places like Bread Meats Bread. It's better than most of the chains but if you want the very best in Edin-burgers then other options are better. I would definitely be happy coming back here though. It's modern looking, clean and I liked the decor. Somewhere in between a nice bar and an American diner. Fun but not in your face. There is a good selection of beers/bourbons to drink. I had the spicy burger. It's was medium/rare; satisfyingly pink and juicy. It had a slight kick but didn't really justify the server warning me that when I ordered it. I appreciated the fact that buying this burger donated a meal to charity; it's the kind of thing would make me want to choose Byron over other chains. The courgette fries were the best of the sides - basically just deep fried in batter. The french fries were adequate but nothing too special. Coleslaw was a bit of a let down though. I had the vanilla shake as a dessert, because it's clearly not a drink - it's a huge metal glass of smushy ice-cream. Good though. I may try it with added bourbon next time. Apparently that's a thing. Overall I liked it here. It's not cheap but doesn't feel overpriced in comparison to the competition. I was enjoyed the burger and liked the ambiance. read more

So delicious! Visiting from the states and of course on the first night here we were looking for anywhere nearby we could just have a quick meal. Our waiter was so sweet -- we asked for a side of ranch and he was disappointed to say they didn't have any, but they had plenty of delicious other sauces that he offered us! The food was hot and delicious. I tried the beer of the month, Neck Oil and it was a rich, tasty IPA that paired great with the Byron Burger. read more

Byron Burgers is a relatively new burger "joint" to Edinburgh (yes another one!) I had the double bacon cheese burger ($12.50) and it was very good, I washed it down with a can of "Beavertown Neck Oil" (£4.50) which was served ice cold in a properly frosted glass, they do a fairly good selection of beers (around the £4 - £5) including Camden lager and pale ale on draught as well as the usual selection of spirits,wines and soft drinks. They also do Milk Shakes (£4.75) which you can add a shot of Bourbon, Rum or Baileys (£2.75), My friend had a vanilla shake with Baileys which she loved, I tried it but thought it was a bit thick, but it did taste pretty good. They also do a "Reese's™ Peanut Butter Cup" which I have to try on my next visit! We all agreed the burgers we ordered were very good as were the fries (I had "Skin-on" fries which were lovely) and the side order of onion rings were very tasty, well cooked, crispy on the outside and moist in the middle. The portion sizes were substantial and nobody left hungry. The only minor criticism anybody had were the "squishy" buns (their description), they WERE very squishy and not really substantial enough to go with burgers as they tended to fall apart. There are a couple veggie options including grilled portobello mushroom, a bean patty or a veggie burger under the "make your own" section. The décor was nice and modern being bare brick and exposed metal. The table and seats were comfortable, we were seated at the back in a "booth". It was fairly busy (early Thursday evening) but the service was friendly and efficient and the prices were reasonable, burgers from around £7 for the "classic" to £12 for my double bacon cheese with side orders (fries ARE extra) around £3. Although arguably not the best burgers in Edinburgh, Byron is certainly up there and well worth a visit (I'll certainly be returning) and conveniently located for The Royal Mile & Princes Street (a second Byron Burgers is due to open on Lothian Road shortly). read more

Was able to customize a chicken burger, no bun and no sauce. Because I nixed those two, a salad was able to sub for the bun, and homemade guac for the sauce, NO extra charge! Food was great, as was the staff. Highly recommend. read more

After being turned away from Cosmo, we trekked up to the Old Town end of North Bridge and entered Byron which was empty at the peak of lunchtime, surprisingly! It took a few minutes for a waiter to acknowledge us, but once we were noticed we were taken to a cosy booth at the front. Since I had previously eaten at the Newcastle Byron, I knew how everything worked. I ordered a cheeseburger with skin-on hand cut chips. They were both very nice! I'm glad that the burger was on a plate and that the chips were in a nice pot. Also the cheese was actually REAL British cheddar! None of that processed American nonsense! It took about 10 minutes for our order to come through. I noticed a dumbwaiter near the stairs to the toilets, so the kitchen is probably in the basement. Maybe that's way the toilet corridor smelled a bit like cheese! To drink, I had a very large salted caramel milkshake, which was really rich and thick. That's how a milkshake should be! The cups are huge though. I was expecting something about the size of a large IKEA glass but the actual size was way better than I expected. Toilets are in the basement and are in 7 separate cubicles. 4 of them are designated for women and 3 are for men. The men's toilets are inconveniently located all the way at the end of the corridor, and it is quite long so I sprinted to the other end when I ventured down there. The stairs down to the toilets are very poorly lit and were a bit greasy and slippery. I would suggest that they add more lighting in that area. The atmosphere is a sort of chic, retro diner style with black and white tiled paths up to the bar and through the seating area and birch flooring in the dining room. The ceiling has lots of pipes and things on it with hip decorations and stuff. Thank you Byron for a nice meal. Might I add that our waiters were helpful, friendly and quick? read more
