    Awesome atmosphere as soon as you walked in and very very busy. Service was great and drinks were served at the bar while they got our table ready. Chicken burgers were enormous and some of the best chicken I’ve ever had. We had the buffalo burger. Sorry forgot the name! Overall amazing experience and would recommend anyone in Edinburgh to visit.

    From start to finish the overall experience was great! Went after recommendations from family members and we were not let down. Rory the server went about his business in a very effective and proficient manner. The quality of our meal was very good, piping hot and appealing to the eye. Tasted great too... Would not hesitate in recommending Bucks Bar to others, you will not regret it..

    Bucks bar has always been a favourite of mine. The atmosphere is amazing, and the food and service by the staff are always top-notch. I can't fault anything about them. You get large portions, and it's pretty good value for money. I always go for the chicken and waffles and a hard shake. You can't go wrong.
