  “Down the Hatch never fails to disappoint! Went straight for the old fav (Carne Asada Loaded Fries) and they were an absolute mountain of goodness! Tasty house‑seasoned fries covered in cheddar, sour cream, pico de gallo, avocado crema, a hit of Cholula, and that tender feather blade steak on top. Just a cracking mix of flavours and plenty to go around. The Tropic Like It’s Hot Dirty Soda was also worth a shout — sweet, creamy, and just a fun wee drink that suits the place perfectly. And obviously we couldn’t leave without trying one (or two) of their bakes, which were a nice wee sugary bonus on top of an already great lunch. Staff were friendly, service was quick, and the whole spot has such a good vibe. Will 100% return for another round in the not too distant future.”

  “Food tasty , a bit overpriced for what it is. Staff ok - on their phones . Ordering tablets need to be cleaned . Customer with a dog feeding it with one of the baskets that the food is served with ! Kitchen- disgrace, really filthy. Window broken and the dirt! Was so evident. Chef eating food and putting his earphones in whilst no food that needed preparation. Radiator adjacent to tables was filthy. Table was still dirty , salt strewn over it . Overall- tasty food cant deny that. Food hygiene is a food hygiene that cant be relaxed . Service charge added? For what reason ? Table was dirty , service wasnt great , staff on phones etc .. Won't be back! Similar business that have clean toilets and dont add a service charge for no reason .”

  “An absolute gem of a place. Terrific food, excellent service in a great location. Remember to log your car registration in the restaurant to get 3hrs parking which is long enough to eat and take a walk along South Queensferry. I got the braveheart burger, you should too!”

  “We had a lovely meal at Down the Hatch when visiting south queensferry not too long ago. The portion sizes are just the right size and are super filling. There is a lovely atmosphere within the restaurant and is a perfect place to eat on a sunny afternoon. The price of food isn’t the best, especially as chips are not included. However, the portion size makes the price seem some sort worth it. The service of the food and drinks was quick but the servers were not the most attentive and we had to wait a while for our check and to be served initially. Overall would recommend the restaurant if you are in the area and are looking for some good scran.”

  “First time here and was very impressed with everything. Dirty sodas were amazing and would go back just for them alone. Food was very good and good portion sizes too. Dog friendly outside as well. Highly recommend”

  “Had a LEGENDARY meal at Down the Hatch before a photoshoot! Their special of the day was a Nashville Hot Hoagie, and oh was it good! Crispy chicken tenders, dipped in Nashville hot oil, lashings of ranch slaw, sprinkle of pickles, and a hot honey drizzle and cayenne. Served up in a garlic butter toasted hoagie. I’ve enjoyed many a Down The Hatch special before, and this one snaps up a top spot!! Amazing service from the friendliest of staff as always. See you again soon, and I look forward to what delicious creation you come up with next!”

  “Lovely Canadian themed diner, food was seriously delicious 10/10. We had the haggis peppercorn hot dog, chicken tenders and Mac and cheese. The Mac could have been smoother and cheesier with a nice topped crust but, everything else was so nice that it was still 5*”

  “Eaten here a couple of times, from the breakfast and lunch menus. My favourite is the Mexican breakfast skillet 😋 they have burgers, great sandwiches! But my fave is also the poutine fries. You won't be disappointed with anything you order, they also have a place to eat and drink in Edinburgh. City Centre”
