Tasty food, huge portions, great additional sauces on the table set in a relaxed atmosphere. Dirty donut and pitboss platter were amazing. Thanks for the experience

Really quirky restaurant don't expect comfy padded seats and table cloths on the tables. It's wooden benches and tables but it just adds to the authenticity, a real american diner. Food is tasty and plenty of it. The staff are really friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back. Give it a try.

Was a fantastic dining experience, we went a little later in the evening so we had the full attention of the waiting staff. We were taken care of, the food was fantastic and the proportions were very generous. Just great.

Excellent service the food was even better and the only drawback to a great experience was the very disappointing children’s menu. Even smaller portions of the adult menu would have been sufficient. Overall great food and experience.

Fabulous hidden gem in Edinburgh. Amazing BBQ cuisine - large portions, so you don't leave hungry. Polite and friendly waiting staff who are knowledgable about the food they are serving. Recommend this restaurant to all

Had trouble finding this restaurant as the entrance is just a door with a sign. Once we were in we’re shown to a smaller room at the back upstairs. Probably not the best time to have gone to any restaurant on the Royal Mile as there had been an Independence march that afternoon and there was a large table of very loud locals also dining. Perhaps this was a good thing as the play list of music was a bit strange for what is essentially an American bbq diner. That said we ordered the Big Boss Platter and shared it with a side of fries, onion rings and coleslaw. The meat was cooked to perfection and especially enjoyed the sausages. Very large portion which the wife surrendered on so I struggled to empty the plate. Well worth a visit if you enjoy American bbq.

The ribs were over-cooked and dry... the brisket the same... It’s a shame the food didn’t match the quality of the server.

We were using an itison voucher which made it good value, but I wouldn't go back and pay full price. I had the 'buttermilk fried chicken burger' special, but it was just a couple of very thin breadcrumbed chicken pieces in a bun with mayo and salad. The mac and cheese was bland, and the 'smothered fries' just had a small amount of cheese, bacon and spring onions on top but most of the chips, being underneath, had nothing on them. But the onion rings and the BBQ sauces were nice. Service was good.

The service was very good with quick check backs and regular drink checks. The food was good overall but inconsistent - hot links, ribs and wings were all cooked well and falling off the bone but the brisket, pulled pork, and pulled chicken were somewhat dry. This was a very good experience but slightly short of great.
