The perfect spot to to go for a quick, delicious, and affordable meal. It's our go to spot whenever we're in town since they've got generous portions, the customer service is great, and the lines are quick. There's nothing like a huge roasted pig in the front to draw in customers! There's limited seating inside, but most people finish their sandwiches in a few minutes so you won't be waiting long. You can choose your bread, toppings, and sauces so there's lots of options to customize. read more

Oink - Fast Food Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Now let me start out by prefacing I come from America, and having lived in the south home to BBQ I know what defines quality BBQ. I ordered the BBQ sauce with the pulled pork (the only thing they serve is pulled pork). It was recommended by a staffer there who took my order and boy was it good. For under €6 I got a medium pulled pork serving which was quiet plentiful in my opinion and filling. The pulled pork tastes wonderful and is highly comparable to proper american BBQ. The place always would seem to have a line out the door and is fast at getting you your food. For this quality pulled pork you really cant manage to find anything that could beat it for the price. The only thing I would like to see is perhaps additions of sides to the menu such as corn bread which would pair really nicely with the pulled pork. read more

Oink - Lad eating some of the best pulled pork east of America - Fast Food Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

I had high expectations given the glowing reviews online. But Oink was disappointing. We ordered a variety of the flavors it offered. Each one was pretty plain jane. In my life, I've had the privilege of having some really good pulled pork barbeque from the Southern USA and kalua pork from Hawaii. In comparison to American pork bbq, Oink was very disappointing. Oink pork was very bland. Lacks flavor. Yes, it was moist. But that's the only compliment for it. For those who have never tried American pulled pork sandwich and Oink is the only thing you know about pork sandwiches......then I pity you. If you ever cross the pond, then go to an authentic BBQ restaurant and try the pulled pork. It will blow your mind. If someone ever opens up a true southern American bbq in Edinburgh, Oink will go out of business. I'm willing to put my house on it. read more

Decent food for decent price. If you like roasted pig you will like this place. My husband didn't like it. I think because he is not used to the gamey taste of the meat. He is used to the American bbq pork with tons of bbq sauce and seasoning. I like it because it is similar to the Asian roasted pig that we eat during special occasions. The place is really small. Not a lot do sitting. The service was fast. Overall, I would come back here again for a quick lunch on the go. read more

Good food at good prices. Location is very basic, we knew that, but sandwiches are very tasty

We were looking for something quick and delicious when we first got to Edinburgh and Oink popped up as being nearby. Located on Victoria Street, you'll be able to spot it easily as it usually has a line wrapping out of it. Seating is limited inside, so it's best to take it to-go or enjoy in one of the many public spaces nearby. You know exactly what you're getting as they show off the whole roasted pig they're carving from from the day in the store window. It makes for good pictures, but also how much product they have left before closing. Since it was our first time in Scotland, we went with the Oink (medium sized) with haggis and chili jam. Never having haggis before, I quite enjoyed it - it reminded me of a very fragrant stuffing and I would have definitely eaten it again. The meat was very moist and I loved that you got some crispy skin with it, combined with the jam, it was one of my favorite things I ate while in the area. The staff were quick and even if it was your first-time, they made you feel welcome and educated on the entire process. I was unsure about the flavor combinations and they were great about making recommendations. Not sure when I'll get to come back to the Royal Mile, but when I do, I'll 100% be stopping back at Oink for another sammie! read more

When you only have one thing on the menu, you darned well better do it right. And when I say one thing, they have... ONE. THING. It's the "Hog Roast Sandwich" which arrives on a yummy split roll. The only choices are extras: chilli sauce, sage & onion stuffing, applesauce and cracklins. There's nothing here if you're a vegetarian or you don't eat pork, though I suppose you could just have the roll. :-) Melt in your mouth, tender pieces of roasted pork, carved off the hog when you order. How do you know it's fresh carved? Because the guest of honor is right there in the shop window. He's in hog heaven now. There is a cooler of drinks - Coke, water, juices - and not much else. 80p for the bottled water I had. Finding the place was a challenge, as their signage is minimal. Note that it's on Victoria Street, not Victoria Terrace. read more

Oink - Yummy, but not kosher - Fast Food Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Delishhhh! Their menu is simple: chose a size, bread (or carton if you're staying away from carbs), topping and sauce. Highly recommend the pulled pork with haggis and chili pepper jam. They also top it off with complimentary cracklings which was my favorite part! The space is tight with only a few seats but folks rotate out fairly quickly. Seemed popular for both locals and tourists, and is located on quaint Victoria Street. read more

This is one of those shops off the royal mile you should go to if you're craving a quick, easy, and relatively inexpensive meal near the Royal Mile. First off, you're immediately greeted with a fully (chopped up) pig in the window. Ordering here is about as easy as "fast casual" gets: - Choose the amount of meat you want aka piglet, oink, or grunter (aka small, medium, large) - Choose your breads, stuffing, and sauces Being the all american eater that I am, I went with the grunter, had some haggis (because who doesn't order haggis when you're in Scotland), and chili jam. The combination was delicious and the meat was super tasty. All in was about $8 USD. read more

Very popular but overrated bbq pork joint. Virtually no place to sit when crowded so expect to take out if there's a line. The meat itself is tender, well cooked, and plentiful but the bun and condiments are unremarkable. We were rushed through in a manner bordering on rude. read more

Fantastic BBQ, freshly made and creatively served. Be sure to try the cracklings. Always a line, so plan ahead - but well worth any wait.

Loved this place! Just off the Royal Mile. We all had pork sandwiches, chips and drinks for 6 of us for less than 40 pounds total. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was very tasty and filling. Only downside is that it is small and very limited seating. Most people just grab their food and eat it elsewhere, which is what we did. read more

First timer (Edinburgh, Scotland) As a pork lover I had to stop at this place. I had an Oink sandwich and it was goooooood. The pork skin gave it that extra crunch and texture to the experience. Aside, from Puerto Rican cuisine (and maybe Dominican), the Scots and Brits know how to work with pork. read more

This place came super recommended. It's just on Victoria Street, so it's very convenient for seeing the sites and stopping by for lunch. The interior is really cute and homey. It's pretty good deal (There are three sizes for pork rolls: Piglet 3.40 pounds, Oink 4.60 pounds, grunter 5.80 pounds). Tastewise, it's a'ight. There wasn't anything special about the pork itself as it was quite dry and bland even with the sauce. The bun was just your regular run of the mill. Bonus: If you do check this place out, make sure you ask for the freeee crackling (aka roasted pork skin). Be sure to get there early for lunch as they may run out. We went around 1pm and there was a long line out the door. So perhaps aim to go slightly early to beat the crowds. The place itself is quite small, so if there is a line, you might not be able to wait it out and snag a seat inside which is just as well because eating in a park or on the go is just as fun. read more

My husband has been looking forward to having a meal here for several months. It was one of the first things he mentioned after we got off the train at Waverly Station, and it kept creeping into conversation as the days in Edinburgh swept on by. We finally had a chance to give it a try the day before we were set to leave for Prague. We each got the "The Oink" - which is a regular-sized version of the sandwich. I chose to dress my brown roll with sage and onion and the chili relish, while my husband chose the apple sauce and chili relish on a white roll. They are cash only, and their "dining room" is almost non-existent, so if they're busy, you may have to take your sandwich to go. As it was, the one table by the window was taken, and the one bar area (with four chairs) was also taken. We were just discussing where we could go to eat when the guys at the bar offered us their seats, as they were finishing up. The sandwich was good, but I wasn't blown away by it. I guess I had built it up in my head so much over the months - we talked about it, we drooled over the pictures - so I was expecting it to knock me on my bum. It was decent, and it filled me up. Plus, it was by far the cheapest meal we had on the entire trip, so that has to count for something. read more

Service is excellent, but flavor is lacking. Meat gets smothered with sauce. Small site...

Only meal we had in Edinburgh and we don't regret it! The pulled pork sandwich was delicious. You choose your size (small, medium, large) get a choice of base: haggis or sage onion, and a sauce (many options). A medium was perfect for me and actually still left room for dessert, which is perfect. The small is more like a kids size, or a snack. The large is the same bun as the medium with double to meat. My favorite part was the pork skin bit. It was super crispy and didn't have much fat. We got the onion base with apple sauce combination and..... so delicious!! I will definitely come back if I'm ever in Edinburgh again. There's not much seating area, people usually get it to go and eat as they walk. It's a rather small shop, and they close up once they sell out of the meat (they do one pig a day). read more

Staff were very nice, smiles and takes their time, they even offer a taste of the Haggis or the other choice..(sorry i forgot) price was reasonable. The sandwich is actually hood for 2 people! Overall taste was very good. read more

Oink was pointed out during a free walking tour of Edinburgh as one of the better places to go for lunch. This was enough for us, so we made our way here when our tour came to an end. The length of the queue and the shortage of seats inside initially seemed off-putting, but we decided it was worth staying, and indeed the queue moved quickly and seats became available. The options fairly simple--you choose your bread (white or wheat), and your filling (slow-roasted pork, haggis, or both), sauces (there are several options) and crackling or not, and that's pretty much it. The sandwiches are definitely tasty, but ultimately not especially interesting, though they hit the spot for us and fortified us to continue our walking through the old town. read more

If you're a pork lover, this place is a must-visit. For me, it was the pig's skin (they call it a different name here) that was the highlight. You have to ask for extras because it's free and it's good. For 6 pounds, you get an Oink sandwich (the medium-sized one), chips and a drink. You get through the line fairly quickly and once you get the food, there's usually a seat to sit and enjoy the pork. People were steaming and flooding this place all day. This was no surprise because this place is good. Why can't they have something like this in California? read more

We had Oink on our list of lunch spots to try and I'm so glad we did! Its right off the Royal Mile on Grassmarket. Great location to stop in for a quick sandwich in the midst of shopping and strolling. Price was good for the quality of food. Only downside is that its a small shop, so if its busy you may not get a seat. I would stick to either right before or right after the lunch rush to get a table. But still a good indication of how many people love this place! read more

Super simple concept. Choose your size, choose a vessel (bread, or in a box), choose a sauce. Enjoy. Looking in the window reminded me of filipino lechon. I do like that they give you pieces of the skin (which is the best part by the way). The shop is extremely small - only room for maybe 20 total diners. My family of 5 decided to order the meat in a togo box and eat with a fork. Overall it was really good. The apple sauce was maybe a little too sweet for my liking. I wish they had Mang Tomas as one of the sauce options. read more

Great place to go, but only if you looove meat - especially pork. The pork is cooked extremely well and sandwiches are inexpensive, but still very generous portions. I ordered the grunter which is the largest size sandwich and paired it with haggis and spicy cheese sauce. This was my first time trying haggis and it was very good, but if that isn't quite your taste, then there are other topping options like sage and onion! Great location as well and very friendly staff that helped me make a decision (I needed help deciding what to pair with Haggis). read more

Pink came recommended to us from a tour guide in England. While walking about in Edinburgh we found one of the three locations and they had pork left!! I loved what I had. If I ever get back to Edinburgh I most definitely make a beeline for Oink. Just amazing! read more

This place cannot be passed up simply because as you walk past the aroma will draw you in. The store itself is fun. It's a smaller space but we had no trouble finding a place to sit and enjoy our sandwich. I had the pork sandwich with Haggis. I was not disappointed. This sandwich made me feel like I needed to put Haggis on absolutely everything going forward. The taste was perfection. It was a well crafted sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised by the cost - it was less than what I was expecting to spend. The staff worked quickly and efficiently and got through the line very quickly. They were also all very pleasant. I would definitely recommend visiting oink if you are in the area it is very close to the Royal Mile. It's a fun area to sit and enjoy a meal. read more

Oink was on my list and was nice to see it confirmed by the number and quality of Yelp reviews and even better to see it live up to the hype. Between 3 various sizes of sandwich all below 8 pounds, you get a ton of pork, some stuffing (haggis or sage and onion), and a sauce to choose from. The pork is really tender and tasty. Bread is decent. Haggis acts some great texture and flavor. I really wish they had more sauce since it would really inject some more flavor. You can also get it without bread in a take out box. Overall, a really good value and would recommend. Only downside is the lack of sauce and wee size read more

The line for this place is huge! I got in at a good time but it always seems busy. The lady behind the counter was super nice. A sandwich is around £4 and not the most filling. I was still a bit hungry after. I found the sandwich dry and I've definitely had better pork elsewhere. I think maybe with some mayo or something it might've tasted better? Just to dry for my taste. People love it though. read more

Oink - So dry! - Fast Food Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

"How big is the 'Oink' sandwich?"... First off the mark I have to give a shout out to the staff who answered this question again and again with smiles on their faces while I was there. A valid question, in fairness, as the 'Oink' is the most popular choice here, but probably not great craic if you get asked it every five minutes. Located on the very picturesque Victoria Street, Oink is the perfect place to go if you're looking for delicious food on the go. What you see is exactly what you get here, pulled pork sandwiches done really well. There's a very small seating area at the back but most people get their food to go. The service is excellent and turn-around time is probably only a couple of minutes. So how does it work? You choose your bread, size, sage and onion or haggis stuffing, sauce...and enjoy! I'd highly recommend grabbing a sandwich from here and rambling around Grassmarket, an afternoon well spent in my opinion! read more

Here's what you need to know dear reader: of all my dining experiences throughout Scotland, Oink was without a doubt the best. End of story. Star 1: How was the service and atmosphere? Quick and hassle free, Oink is about as straight forward as it comes, which is marvelous considering you really should be out and about enjoying the wonderful city that is Edinburgh. Walk up, order your roll, and walk out with a full meal in under three minutes. Brilliant. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Guys. Just stop. Guys. Seriously. Now hold on just a second. This sandwich: http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=tK1WuHZ3iEwtW_fuzaV2Hw&userid=OKX-V5j_qfuOebeHeWGrHg This beautiful, filling, meaty sandwich. Cost me £3.60. That's it. That's like... less than literally anything in any of the gift shops in Edinburgh. Beautiful. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? DELICIOUS. First and foremost? The roll. Freshly made. Flaky. Buttery. Warm. Ugh. So good. The pork? Well, the whole damn pig is right there in front of you, so you know it's as fresh as it possibly could be. It tastes exactly like it should, and is only made better by one of the fantastically unique sauces that are made available. This is honestly as good if not better than a lot of the pork barbecue I can get in Dallas. Dual Stars Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Without a second thought. This is as good as it gets. Star Granted. read more

The phenomenon of "Roadkill cusine" has popped up in the media semi-regularly over the past few years as an alternative to Waitrose for thrifty carnivores nationwide. Unsurprisingly, flicking on the hazard lights and popping to the side of the road to bury one's head in the entrails of a recently flattened fox is still an acquired taste to some, but for those "on the fence" so to speak, Oink provides the ideal introduction. It's fair to say that the British office monkey can often feel limited to a number of fairly sanitised options. The neverending stream of social-climbing delis half-heartedly scoop out bowls of hummus or red pesto chicken onto a tiresome array of flatbreads and as we fester in the queue, running down our precious minutes, the feeling that we're eating inauthentic crap made by arseholes, for arseholes never strays too far away. But Oink is different. There's not a ciabbata in sight. Just some plain bread rolls, some rudimentary sauces and the putrefying remains of an unfortunate local swine. Be in no doubt that this is the grisliest, most brutal and downright best lunch on offer in Scotland. The animalistic experience on offer at Oink really is second to none. Looking on, mouth watering as the staff hack at the rotting carcass before feasting upon the ragged, sweaty flesh of the wretched pig is the closest most of us will ever get to those basal predatory instincts long lost to evolution. And all for about four quid. After just one visit to Oink, you'll see a congealing tub of room-temperatrure mediterranean tuna salad for what it really is. Pathetic. read more

What was my most memorable moment of my 10 day UK trip? My first bite into Oink's "Grunter"! No, not exaggerating, not really.... Ok ok, there are other really memorable moments in my trip, but I honest can say that if I have to list my top 10 most memorable moments, Oink would be somewhere on top. If I am to list my BEST meal in this UK trip, Oink is DEFINITELY on the tippy top. It's that good. It really is.... Hubbo and I first shared a "grunter', their largest size sandwich. We picked their spicy chili cheese sauce and haggis with lots of cracklins. After my first bite, I told him to get his own... I polished off the grunter and got up and bought a t-shirt and another grunter to take with me. The store clerk asked where we were from. "Jacksonville, northeast FL", I replied. He was surprised and said he thought we would have plenty of BBQ pork places like Oink. Yeah, not like this.... roasted whole hog stuffed with herbs with crispy skin and haggis? Nope, definitely not. The next day, we returned and bought three more grunters and asked the store clerk to 'package them well cause they are traveling'! Yep, we took them on the train with us as we were leaving Edinburgh. read more
