Buffalo Grill is one of the best steak restaurants in Edinburgh. The teriyaki steak is one of the tastiest things I have ever eaten. No exaggeration. It is located centrally and is perfect for a pre theatre meal. The staff are fantastic and the service is great. A must try when visiting Edinburgh.

Absolutely charming place! Came to Edinburgh for a weekend and we're so happy to have chosen this place. It's not in the middle of the touristy area so it was quite calm, we didn't even need to book beforehand. The food was so delicious, we can definitely confirm they're the best steaks we've ever had! And the onion rings were beautiful too. The service was excellent! If and when we ever decide to come back to Edinburgh we'll definitely stop by again

Excellent, friendly, attentive service. The rib-eye steak was one of the best I’ve ever eaten - juicy and cooked to perfection. Lovely starters and desserts too. Will definitely return!

I'm a couple of dozens of Restaurants in and this might get the prize for the worst restaurant in all of Scotland. I was excited by the prospect of getting "charcoal grilled" and "grass fed locally sourced beef" as it states pompously on the outside of this establishment. I should have trusted my initial gut reaction when I saw the empty tables from outside. The prospect of a 4£ student Burger and the relatively good Google reviews were, however, enticing enough to lure me in. Let's be fair and start with the positives though. The fries were okay. Could have used more seasoning though. And they come with a ~3£ markup of the "4£ burger" which is just shy of false advertising. The negatives. The worst looking "Burger" I have ever seen in my entire 23 years of Burger eating experience. What these self-important people describe as "grass feed, cuddled to death organic Scottish meat on a brioche bun" turns out to be far worse then McDonalds. Look at the pictures I have attached. A disgustingly small, RAW and tasteless and dry (probably frozen) patty on a burnt bun, with some Mayo snot, tomato, 3 small bits of onion and 1 piece of lettuce. Absolutely bland, not even seasoned. That's how much they look down on their customers at this place. Quick money by ripping off people, nothing more. There's enough alternatives to this sad place. I just hope that they have a shred of decency, close down and let someone who can actually cook and cares about their customer take over this prime estate.

Absolut lovely place to have dinner. Service was great. Was staying in Edinburgh for the first time, looking for a good restaurant that serves steaks. I was not disappointed at all everything I was ordering was delicious. Can highly recommend it.

I came back and had to try the steaks, after watching them go by last time I was in. Coll, my affable host for the evening suggested I try the blue cheese rump steak, and boy am I glad I did. I'm normally not one for long reviews, but in this case it's merited :) It has to be one of the best steaks I have had in Edinburgh, and almost matching up to Black and Blue in Vancouver (a compliment I would toss out lightly), I just managed to resist the urge to lick the plate to get the last of the rich blue cheese sauce. Totally worth checking out next time you have the urge to eat steak :) Was out and about looking for somewhere to check out for dinner, and Yelp suggested dropping in here. Very glad I did :) Burger deliciousness, they are giving Bread Meats Bread and Burger Meats Bun a run for their money. They recently renovated I was told. Very nice, friendly service, and a great burger, will have to stop back to check out the steaks I saw going by :)

Being so close to the main University campus, I'd walked past the pre-revamp Buffalo Grill many times, but had always been put off by the shabby decor. Now though, the place looks fantastic with a relaxed Southwestern vibe, some quirky accessories and enough cool grey paint to keep the whole thing from feeling too kitsch. We ate the ribs and wings to start which were great (particularly the wings - perfectly chargrilled) and then both had the Boss Hog burger as our main, myself on a chicken fillet, my partner on a traditional beef burger. Both were great - well cooked and with just the right amount of juiciness. The service we received was attentive without being overbearing - no mean feat as the restaurant was deserted when we first arrived. Overall a great experience, and it's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

Just a short walk from the royal mile. My wife and I were hesitant due to the lack of reviews but tried it anyway and boy was it worth it! Great food with really great service! The restaurant was recently remodeled which was nice because it matched the vibe of the food and felt clean and comfortable.

Fantastic food with excellent service. The spinach crepe was amazing and my husband loved his Sundance burger. The owner made sure we were out in plenty of time to make our festival show, and all of the staff were really helpful and kind. I would definitely go back. Looking forward to trying a burger next time.

Food was ok, service poor, and don't bother coming if you're English because you won't be welcome - ever
