Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the chicken burgers, with the black garlic chicken burger and the truffle chicken described as flavourful, and one saying the chicken burger melts in the mouth. Close behind are the beef options, including the Reuben, the Portobello smash and a truffle beef burger, along with a vegan BLT with jalapeño relish. The fries draw repeated comment for their huge portions, with several saying one large order is enough to share, and the truffle, Parmesan and rosemary salt version gets a recommendation. Reviewers also mention that the menu is halal and that staff are friendly. The complaints are specific. Some burgers reportedly arrived cold while others came out hot, the chicken tenders have no dip, sides are bought separately, and one reviewer found the BBQ wings overpowering and another found the chips too salty. Two diners who came at 5pm found the room nearly empty and echoey, and one questioned the service fee and felt the food was a little overpriced. Several reviewers say they ate until the plates were clear.

“Stopped by Butta Burger today and was seriously impressed. The portions here are massive—you definitely won't leave hungry! Every single thing we ordered was delicious, top-quality, and super reasonably priced for what you get. On top of that, the staff provided excellent, friendly service. Highly recommend, will definitely be coming back!”

“We booked butta burger through first table so had 50% discount on food, which made it a more reasonable priced meal for 4 as adding on fries to the price of the burgers does all add up. The drinks were more reasonably priced than a lot of restaurants. We all enjoyed our food. The fries are a big portion and one large portion would easily do 3 people, 4 at a push. The only criticism I have is that we arrived at 5pm and there was 1 other diner in the restaurant. With the huge ceilings it felt very empty and echoey. My suggestion would be to play some quiet back ground music, even if it was just when it was very quiet to make it feel a bit more relaxed.”

“Food is quite nice but a little overpriced for what it is. The large fries were huuuge so share them! No one was in the place tho and we were eating at 5pm which was a little eerie 10% service fee even tho the staff (who was nice) didn't really do anything special... ok”

“Delicious! Great place for solo dining, especially as a vegan. I had the vegan BLT with extra jalapeño relish, and it was great. Staff were all super friendly, and full of local knowledge.”

“It’s a favourite of ours. We highly recommend you try Butta Burger if you’re visiting Edinburgh. The burgers are unreal!!! Butta Burger is located on George Street. It’s a short walk from Waverley Station. If travelling by car we recommend parking in St James Quarter. It’s only a 10-15 walk and the parking is slightly cheaper there than the street parking. The restaurant is bright and spacious with a vibrant yellow colour scheme. Staff are friendly and the service is efficient. The food is halal and there is plenty to choose from. The burgers are packed with flavour. My only critique would be that the chicken tenders could do with a dip on the side or alternatively the staff could maybe advise that it doesn’t come with a dip and suggest a sauce is ordered with it. The tenders are great nonetheless. The coating they use on the chicken here is amazing. Highly recommend the truffle chick and the truffle, Parmesan and rosemary salt fries.”
