I'm not normally a lover of McDonald's as you'll see from my other reviews but this one is…read morepassable. Its always busy as its just off the bridge and has passing trade coming off the M9. The staff are quite knwledgeable about their menu and they seem to have more special offers on here than in other McD's. The restaurant isn't that big and if you can get one of the armchairs when you sit down as they are really comfy. The restaurant is clean and tidy although the only views is of the car park and the hotel next door, you can't actually see the bridges from here. The toilets, same as any other McD's toilets I'm afraid quite disgusting although these ones are in a better state than some and you see someone going in and cleaning them every 20 minutes if they are really busy! Which is nice to see.

I had heard alot about this Scottish restaurant chain that appears to be making a name for itself…read moreacross the country so I decided to pop in and see what the hype was about for myself. Initial impressions were not the most favourable, the furniture is mainly bolted down (theft may be an issue for them?) and menu failed to inspire - no haggis or cranachan to be seen or heard, but may be this is one of those food fusion restaurants? it did have some german food, such as hamburgers and also french fries. Table service was non-existent and cutlery was severely lacking. However, once we had navigated the strange food acquisition system, we received our meals quite promptly. As one who rarely eats a burger, I was pleasantly surprised - it was well seasoned and contained a host of condiments. Their chips, or "french fries" to use the vernacular, satisfactory and the range of drinks was adequate if somewhat limited. Children seem to be quite taken with the restaurant, and many appear to have received gifts from the friendly staff. While I would recommend this for families, our Bridge club will most likely chose a different venue for next years annual dinner and prize giving/awards ceremony

The restaurant is open until at leat 11pm but on the one occasion that I went, I felt that the staff were more inclined to clean up than serve me and that they were more concerned with their drive-thru customers. In recent months they have made the effort to become more family friendly and have even installed a soft-play section for cihildren which looks quite impressive.

Topkapi is a Turkish Restaurant and Takeaway…read more I've only ever had takeaway from here, but can say it's the best Kebab I've enjoyed in Fife. The Owner and Head Chef, Murat, has been cooking Turkish food for over 25 years and that experience really comes through in the flavour of the dishes. Assisted by another friendly face in Ali, they give you the feeling that nothing is too much trouble and that they enjoy preparing food for you. So far I've tried the large Lamb Shish and Kofte mixed Kebab, which was both substantial and delicious. Tender meat, lightly spiced in the case of the Kofte with crisp salad, sauces and fresh pitta. I've also had the Lamb Sauté. This is a saucy, tomato based dish with slow cooked diced Lamb and served with a seeded bread that is like a cross between Naan and Ciabatta. My apologies for not knowing the name of it prior to the review. Again this was lovely but, if you are ordering this, please remember it is a sauce based dish so not a kebab. With that expectation, you should enjoy it very much. Having only discovered this place relatively recently, I've been three times already !!! Good food and friendly service will do that to you though :-)

I stopped here shortly before leaving Edinburgh on the train. This was my last meal in Edinburgh…read moreand very delicious. There is usually a line outside this simple restaurant but possibly due to the light rain, the line was fairly short when I went. I only waited for like 5 minutes. The menu is simple as the roasted hog/pig is the only thing on the menu. You can choose a few things to customize the sandwich or even order it in a box. I ordered the Oink size (medium) on wheat bread and chose sage and onion for my topping and then the Homemade Mustard Mayo for the sauce. They make it in front of you and it is fresh and very tasty. Unfortunately when I went they were out of cracklings. They wrap it in foil and hand it to you. Pretty simple and efficient. I love that the outside of the building is painted pink like a pig (coincidence? Probably not). This is a good place to try for a quick, cheap and yummy sandwich. They do this one thing very well. Please open more of these!

The sammiches come on a big, soft, delicious roll. And they're filled with a generous portion of pulled pork. You get to customize them a little bit by selecting your bread, the size of the sammich, the stuffing (sage and onion or the homemade haggis), and a variety of spreads (apple, homemade mustard mayo, homemade chili cheese, and homemade chili jam). My wife got the sage & onion, and I opted for a haggis filling. We both very much enjoyed our rolls. They were very filling, and the staff was very friendly and helpful with suggestions. The haggis was unique, but we are very familiar with pulled pork sammiches back home. We really enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend Oink to any hungry travelers in Edinburgh.

My husband and I never really bother too much with fast food, however when our kids and grandkids…read morewere visiting recently, they took us to McDonalds in Balloch for a quick lunch. What a pleasant surprise! I had expected a dirty, greasy place but was very pleased to see that it was exceptionally clean and there was one member of staff who seemed to be engaged in full-time cleaning duties of the restaurant. Our food was basic but very tasty, and there was some nutritional info on a leaflet given to us with the tray which again surprised me as it was nowhere as bad as I had expected - my entire meal had approx 600 calories. They also have a drive-in service which is very popular - we watched dozens of cars passing through while we ate. Although I never thought I'd say it, I would highly recommend stopping off here for a very cheap and cheerful lunch - it's a lot better than I expected!

Known for kebabs, shawarmas, and burgers, Yum Yum also does deep fried mars bars, which I noticed when I first went up the steps of the Close with their outdoor sign. Being that Edinburgh is one of the few areas that have spots that make these, I was happy to see Yum Yum did it. I'm basing my review off of my order experience. It was made quickly. Payment was fast. And the mars bars was decent. If I was drunk, I would probably be foodgasming more. But I will say, it was very good and pleased I was able to experience while I was in town.
