    Really enjoyed our evening meal at the Queen's. It was our first visit and we'll definitely return. Delicious food, great beer, vast range of whiskies, friendly efficient service and a real buzz about the place. Only minor quibble was that the chips were too crispy hard for someone with sensitive gums.

    Anniversary weekend & booked here after doing some researching online for a good roast dinner after the Rugby!! Beautiful cozy atmosphere, very busy, but the staff are so friendly and do a fantastic job of keeping up with all the customers and reservations! Food was glorious and paired with a really lovely bottle of Red! Will definitely be returning & will make sure to book in advance to not miss out !!!

    Very cosy pub in the centre of Edinburgh. We went while the rugby was on but even if there were lots of people the service was impeccable and we had a lovely time. Portions were definitely larger than most places and very tasty. We had the fried chicken to share, a burger and the pie of the day.

    We dined here while visiting Edinburgh. The service was excellent and our server was brilliant. We were very disappointed with the pie. It was just a pot of meat with a round of puff pastry sat on the top. Not a proper pie in my book. However the meat was hot and tasty as were the veggies. The sticky toffee pud was divine. It had a great atmosphere. In hindsight if we had know it wasnโ€™t a proper pie we would have ordered something else: the burgers looked amazing. Over it was a nice lunch just not what we were expecting.

    The best roast. We had the beef roast and the vegan one. Both great. Vegan gravy goes well with the beef. Staff were very friendly and super accommodating.

    Booked a seat and was told to leave our seat 10 minutes before the end of the booking because the next people were waiting. Agreed, stood up to watch the end of the rugby and no one arrived. For future it would be good to ask people to leave their seat when the next booking arrives, not in anticipation for a group that never arrives.
