If pigs could fly they'd all taste like this. Since they don't you'll have to visit Oink to try heavenly roast pig here on earth. There's only one thing on the menu: a roast pig roll. If you're from USA like I am, you might think you'll miss the smoke flavor in what looks a bit like pulled pork. Trust me, you won't. This whole pig is lovingly roasted for 12-14 hours and then carved into sandwiches, served on a soft white or wheat roll with either rosemary onion relish or haggis (trust me, get the haggis) and sweet chili sauce or apple sauce. The haggis provides just the right level of earthiness to cut through the salty fat of the port. And don't forget to ask for cracklin, a square of crispy skin cut with kitchen shears and placed on the roll. Get there early as they make one hog a day, and they sell out. read more

I had heard so much about Oink I had to check it out today! I figured I would love it, and I did! You just can't beat a quality sandwich. I went Sunday afternoon and I only had to wait in line for a few minutes. I had a regular size with stuffing and apple. The soft roll was delicious. All in all a wonderful idea and executed extremely well. I did not really find it soggy OR flavorless like some others did. I would like to try it with more toppings next time! read more

hmmmmmmmm.....Pork.....Drool..... This is some of the best pulled pork I have ever had better then some of the mom and pop soul food places in the bible belt of north america. I recommend all of it, but if you want something different try a sandwich with some fried pork skin on top with the haggis and spicy sauce. Its messy and rather large portion but it is the Best in the city. For you folks from America especially down South, if you like your soul food stop in here, say Hi , and order one of these tasty sandwiches . I promise you wont be disappointed but be warned, get in early because ,I kid you not, the Que ( or "Line"as we Americans call it ) will stretch out the door down and around the block its that popular. read more

OINK!!! I love this pork sandwich so much, I'll be coming back to Edinburgh to taste it again! Especially enjoyed the one with the haggis.

Got the grunter...ton of meat straight out the pig. Good BBQ sauce, hagis too. Delicious quick lunch especially for 1-2 people. read more

Walked past this place earlier on today and spotted the pulled pork and the head of a pig through the window. Hungry after the museum I treated myself to a sandwich here. The menu is very simple with only 2 size options, the pork is juicy and tender and the stuffing accompanied it perfectly. Sadly the bread isn't that great. read more

Great pork sandwich. It was a quick bite to eat that I really enjoyed. However it is cash only unless you buy a lot of sandwiches to get your bill over a certain amount and there isn't much seating or seating near by. But it is a central location and good food. read more

Oink, oink! Having passed the piggy porn (full hog roast) in the window many times, throwing a few wistful glances its way, I thought it was out of bounds for GF me. Pretty simple, hog roast, stuffing or haggis, sauces (including apple and chilli) in a white or brown roll and comes in three portion sizes. I decided to sample some hog roast, in a tub so no roll or stuffing and the girls in store thought it might be GF but weren't totally sure. I asked for a Oink portion (£3.60 for an Atkins diet dream portion of pig) and it was delish! No poisoning or GF after effects so I'll definitely return to Oink for a portion of fab hog roast :-) read more

This place is perfect for a delicious sandwich. I go there every time I'm hangover and the Grunter sandwich sorts me out. Shame I can only give the place 5 stars, I could give it 7. The food is sublime and very cheap. read more

Good-tasting sandwich, but you might not be full after eating the sandwich. Also a little pricey for not filling my tummy.

Super fast. Friendly staff. Great value for money. Small menu...only serves pork sandwiches with a few sauce options. High food quality - a great quick grab. read more

Let's see.... How do you rate something simple, comforting and without any fancy Ness around it? I was gently welcomed by Dominic, enthusiastic and dynamic staff from the place who made me feel welcomed and the experience was comforting and delicious! If you want to have a quick bite, that's for you read more

This place doesn't have to do much to get you inside. There is a giant pig in the window with crunchy pieces just asking to be eaten!!! As I was drooling in the window people who were exiting told me I wouldn't regret it. It was great. Since my first experience I have eaten there 2 other times and gotten different variations of sauces and spreads. They are all good!! Also the price is great for the amount of food you get. Don't forget to ask for a crunchy piece!! read more

I'm always up for meat off of a whole hog! We were just walking by after a visit to the castle and couldn't resist giving it a try! We got the large pork on white with the onion sage stuffing and BBQ. We went and found a bench on Grass Market and the sandwich was perfect for sharing. The only thing we would have done different is we would have asked for extra BBQ sauce. Other than that it was fantastic! It really hit the spot! read more

What's better than roasted hog on a big wholemeal role with apple sauce? Nothing. 5 stars!

I popped in here to grab a quick bite and the juicy pulled pork sandwich did not disappoint! Grunter: Step 1: White roll Step 2: Haggis Step 3: Mild chilli Quick, affordable, and tasty! Wished I tried the crackling though. read more

Good value, tasty pork. Would have liked to have been offered crackling as we thought the rolls came with it and it wasn't until we got the rolls back to our hotel that we realised it didn't come with it. Apple sauce isn't very sweet so I'd ask for extra next time. read more

Dropped in to grab a nice warm cup of tea. Nice little shop. Enjoyed our short time at Oink.

Pig in the window and pulled pork flavor selection. Was nice and filled a gap but thought it would have been so much better. Always wanted to try it but every time we went it was either closed or a Q was out the door. They close once the whole pig is gone, shows how busy they get. Would try again. read more

Visual of the whole roasted pig draws you to this place. Expecting an above average to stellar pulled pork was implied given their simple yet fun menu. The pork was good, but methinks a bit too salted with the crackling and haggis. Darn, shoula woulda gotten the applesauce to mellow it with some sweetness..but thought it a bit overboard w/ toppings. It was good enough for my lunch/snack(?) but nothing beyond the norm. It wasn't great, just simple straightforward good- enough. Would not mind trying another, next time with a fun mix of different toppings. Its a fun joint for a hearty, on- the-go bite but not necessarily my first or second choice. All in all, not bad. read more

this place was mad good, it was quick and easy but the food was really tasty! I had a brown roll with onion and sage stuffing and apple sauce. I loved it! Others in our group had BBQ sauce and Hot Chilli Sauce. We will definitely be back. read more

Great pulled pork spot. Good value with a combo for £6. Though bagged chips and bottled drinks were nothing special. Not much seating so you may need to takeaway if busy. read more

Woooo Pig Soooieeee!!! If you don't know what this means: it's calling the hogs from the University of Arkansas USA. This place is a gem! Best take away food we had in Edinburgh. All they serve is pig so veggies beware! The roast pork sandwich was exactly what I needed after having a whisky drinking binge the night before. To top it off, you can request a crackling in your sandwich for that special touch. Condiments included onion spread, bbq sauce, spicy cheese, haggis spread and chili sauce. There were probably others I forgot. Sandwiches came in three sizes: wee, medium, large. Freaking delicious! Going back today! read more

Awesome, awesome. True Farm to market - the owner is the farmer and the pigs are his pigs. The meat is fresh and tasty - get it with the haggis, chili sauce and apple sauce. Ask for extra sauce. Great flavor, quick service, and super affordable for lunch. One of the best lunches I had in Scotland. read more

Oink! completely redefines the quality standards that you should expect from a fast food restaurant. The hog rolls are absolutely delicious cooked with quality fresh ingredients that will leave you craving for more. Located just around the corner from the Grassmarket area it is a mandatory stop in Edinburgh. Because it delivers in style everything that it sets itself to, it gets 5 stars. Probably the best fast food I have ever tried. read more

I came here around 4:30pm and they were already cleaning up as they were almost sold out (I was second to last person served) and ordered the Piglet with haggis and apple sauce (I was told this is the more traditional way to eat it). The pork was juicy and melted in your mouth and the haggis was delicious. The combination with apple sauce was surprisingly good. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area to stop by and grab a bite. read more

So being an ex veggie I had avoided this place due to the big pig in the window. Even though I am now a meat eater, I still had a twinge of guilt every time I walked past. Today was the day when I told that guilt to just get lost and let me enjoy a delicious roll. I'm so glad I eventually let the meat eating side of me wine. Oink certainly lives up to the hype. I went for the Oink with haggis. I ended up avoiding the relish, as I am a picky one and wasn't sure what to expect from them. The meat itself was just wonderful. There is always a worry that pork will be a quite dry but not with Oink. There is a larger option available but personally 'The Oink' was big enough for me. Go along and let your meat eating side win! read more

It was my last day in Edinburgh and I decided to eat as much as I can around the city. I had the piglet size sandwich with the sage and onion and my friend got the apple sauce with the pork. The meat is juicy and my most favorite was the piece of crisps pork skin on top. Delicious! I will be back next time I visit. read more

Even a quick skim of Oink reviews will give people the impression that this is, like, the BEST PLACE EVER. And it really is pretty good....but not outstanding. Pros: pretty cheap, good pork, quick service, good location. Cons: Soggy bread, not outstanding, too much hype. To be honest, if i just wanted some good pork, I'd just order the pork, crackling, and topping without the bread. read more

This place represents all what's good in life. I would consider visiting Edinburgh again just for another Grunter with chilli cheese.

Got the bbq on white bread. Very good moist bbq pork and delicious. Staff was friendly and fast. Would recommend to everyone. Wish there was more seating but there is a beautiful public area just down the hill so no big deal. Thinking about the sandwich is making me hungry :) read more

Pat W. Durham, North Carolina It was the pig in the window , cooked to perfection, that caught our eye. How could this be possible, barbeque in Edinburgh? We are number one in the United States for pulled pork, ask anyone, it is a fact. Oink is the real deal. Hot barbeque served on a roll, topped with onion, sage and applesauce. Crackling is optional, but highly recommended. Six large for breakfast, and we were convinced, North Carolina has met it's match. Before leaving we were given a warm University of Southern California, "Trojan hello." Yes, we are Trojans. Thanks to all, we love your country and especially Oink. read more

Great concept with a roasted pig in the window for making sandwiches. The choices are simple and tasty...very small and limited space if you want to eat there. The sandwiches were very tasty we had one with an apple spread and one with haggis. read more

Wow -- pulled pork sandwiches! Get it with haggis on top! The roasted pig carcass in the window is super tantalizing. This place is fast food done right. In fact, it's the best fast food in the world. They will get you sorted with fresh pig meat in between two buns and a good topping faster than you can sneeze. read more

went with my husband and let's face it who doesn't love pork in a nun. We shared a sandwich and it was soooo yummy. We added drinks and sat outside to enjoy, it was so delicious I could hear my scale ticking up. I would do this again but splitting read more

Simplicity at its best- there is just one thing on the menu and its life changing. The beautiful hog sits in the window like the Sirens tempting all who pass by. The pork sandwich comes in three sizes, the largest of which is a deal breaker if you plan on accomplishing anything with the rest of your day. The meat is extremely tender and delicious. Without a doubt Oink is an Edinburgh must. To top everything off, Oink is located near the Grassmarket, the tightest place in the city. read more

Here in Edinburgh on vacation and was checking out the Yelp Reviews. Thank you all for your Oink recommendation. Juicy and wonderful with the Spicy Cheese and Apple Sauce. It dripped down my jacket but I didn't care. Will go again tomorrow. Thank you Yelpers. read more

An Edinburgh institution... As I've been living abroad for the past while, I make it a priority to come here whenever I'm back in Edinburgh. It's a fabulous wee place that does what it's good at, and when I say good, I mean expertly skilled. I have to say that I'm not very adventurous, and always, without doubt, go for stuffing and apple sauce combo, which to me is perfect, but I've been reliably informed that the other combinations are all winners. But get there early during the Fringe, the queue that snakes along Victoria Street starts early and before you know it the whole pig is gone! read more

I asked the gentleman taking my order "What is haggis?" He responded "It's delicious." Good enough for me! I devoured the sandwich stuffed with this mysterious paste....and he was right. Amazing. Must stop if you're in Edinburgh. read more

What's not to love? Delicious pulled pork with crackling and a choice of other filings and sauces. Absolutely banging hog roll!
