Always a high and consistent standard of food, burgers and hot dogs are especially good as are the French and sweet potato fries

Best burger in Scotland… 3rd time back in 3 months and I don’t even live locally. I have dreams about the double bacon cheese burger with mayo and blackhorn sauce.

Blackhorn Burgers is hands down the best burger in town! Seriously, do not bother with the other burger places in St Andrews (some of them are downright mediocre/ inedible). We've been to this place several times for takeout and sit-ins. Each time we've had fantastic burgers. High quality, juicy and well-seasoned patty that is cooked to a deep brown crust on the outside whilst the inside remains with the tiniest blush of pink. No dry, gristly and grey sad burgers here. We love the price point. Excellent burger and chunky chips for a more than reasonable price. The quality of the beef shines through. Bonus points for the dog friendly area in the back.

Friendly staff and you can watch your food being cooked if you stand/sit at the bar. When you order they ask you your first name and when your foods ready they call out your name which makes it more personal. Definitely use this place again whenever i'm in St.Andrews.

Terrible hygiene practices - one of the staff used bare hands to put raw bacon on the grill, then without washing his hands grabbed my my fries and burger to put in the bag. So there's raw bacon on my food. Another server was handling cash and then immediately assembling burgers without cleaning her hands. I was so disgusted I had to throw my food out and go wash my hands to be safe. At least I only lost £8.

This bills itself on its burgers and hot dogs, which are alright but not amazing. Their wraps, however, are to die for. The atmosphere is casual: you put your order in at the front and listen for your name while you sit at a table.

From the outside, this cafe looked really good, but the inside let it down. It was very much a paired-down "back street cafe" aesthetic inside. It was very small and the seating was basic and not comfortable. The ordering of food is done at the counter, and your name is shouted when the food is ready. The choice was very limited with no vegan or gluten-free options (burger in a lettuce leaf instead of a bun). I believe the beef burgers were ok. The chicken burger was "fine," and the "fries" were large and tasted ok. It was very much a place for a quick bite and then leave. If what you're looking for is a St. Andrews version of Five Guys/fast food this is it.

Half an hour wait for a simple burger! Took well over ten minutes just to be served (although in fairness we were a big group). When the burger did arrive it was thoroughly middle of the road. Results appear inconsistent, some of my friends had lots of sauce, I had very little. This is likely because while I was waiting the squeezy bottles of ketchup in the kitchen ran out so the staff member making up the burgers took out the catering size tub and just poured huge dollops of ketchup on the hot dogs. When he poured too much on one his supervisor took the sausage and ran it under a tap to wash it off, then reheated it for him to slobber in ketchup again. Obviously stuff like this happens everywhere but having an open kitchen means higher standards of presentation are important. I also saw a couple of orders being messed up and only corrected when the customer mentioned it, although in his defence this guy seemed new. I got the £7 Sunday meal deal which included chips (which were nice but the portion size was stingy) and if it weren't for the wait time I'd consider it good value. However, I could probably have walked to Tesco, bought burgers myself, and cooked them at home in the time this took. Which rather defeats the point of fast food. In summary, excruciatingly slow service for a reasonable quality burger. Go to Saints Sizzle instead!

Nice tasty burger but the staff need some serious food handling and hygiene training. Watched a 'cook' push down on an overflowing bin. His hand came out covered in ketchup. He then used dry blue paper towel to wipe and clean his hand and then picked up some fresh rolls and put them in the grill. I was shocked and quite disgusted and pointed out what had happened to who I believe is the owner/manager. He told the guy to wash his hands and as the sink was just on the other side of the counter where I was stood, very sarcastically showed me his wet hands and asked if that was OK. I pointed out that it wasn't for me to decide as he should know better working in a food environment.

They’d make sure you don’t go back there again. The burger came uncooked and over salted and the chips came uncooked and unsalted. Nothing was right. Even the coke I ordered didn’t taste right which tells me they didn’t set their dispensers right. I think the place is just badly managed which is a shame. It looks really good from the outside but you try the food and your whole day is spoiled.

Really good, unique and tasty wraps. This restaurant offers delicious wraps in the heart of St Andrews. I would recommend the wraps as they are authentic and tasty. For example they have some with goat cheese, chilli jam, pastrami and salad. Or you could get a random one! The restaurant is relatively small with some seating inside and just two tables outside. The staff are nice and friendly. I'm giving 4 stars because their burgers are average and at busy times you could wait a lot. On my visit, I waited 45 minutes which was too long. Overall, I'd recommend you visit and order a wrap.
