    Great service, excellent food, very generous portion sizes and an impressive selection of hot sauces on "the hot rack". The milkshakes are epic, they're basically a meal themselves. As it was Saturday, there was live accoustic music on from 9pm which seemed to fit the ambience and wasn't ridiculously loud. Highly recommended.

    We absolutely love this eatery and would highly recommend to anyone who wants good food in a casual laidback “rock and roll” atmosphere. You will not get better fried chicken anywhere in Edinburgh. The staff are always super efficient and friendly without being over attentive.

    Good food with large portions served by attentive staff. Background music could be a tad quieter. Also, not a fan on allowing dogs in a restaurant.
