Down the Hatch in Edinburgh, City of

First visit to this place and the food is awesome. I had the Montreal cheesesteak and it was full of flavour. Also had the poutine, something I’ve always wanted to try and it was delicious. Super quick service and friendly staff. Will defo be back.

Best place for breakfast! Delicious skillets

Had brunch with my partner and absolutely loved it! We got the Canadian and Argentinian Skillets and both were so good, and great value for money! Would highly recommend booking as it was pretty busy.

Desayunos de buena relación calidad-precio, y grandes porciones. Comedor de estilo canadiense y hay algunas grandes opciones de menú. Admite perros y tiene una zona exterior cubierta también.

Fantastic Mexican skillets. Staff are attentive and friendly.

Great place not cheap but represents good value for the quality of experience

Food good, though the breakfast has gone down hill in recent times. Problem with here though is the service. The whole service operating model is built around making the staff have an easy ride, it's crap for the customers. They make you stand outside in the cols while they sort out menus, makes zero sense.

Great food, service excellent 🌭🍔

Cheeky staff who roll their eyes at you making simple requests. Wouldn’t accommodate for a disabled customer and declined to make reasonable adjustments in line with the Equality Act. The food is mediocre and overpriced. First and last time I will ever visit them.

Excellent service friendly and helpfull staff. Highly recomended. Food excellent. Will be going back again.

Reservado y visitado con mi madre hoy. Pedido 2 sartenes desayuno se ocupa de cafés y zumo fresco por £ 30, que era una buena oferta en comparación con otros lugares que he estado. El personal era muy amable y servicial. El desayuno salió después de una espera muy corta. El desayuno era uno de los mejores desayunos que he tenido en siglos, incluso los frijoles estaban calientes. Honestamente no podía faltar a nuestra visita de hoy

Amazing food. All freshly cooked and so so tasty. Burgers and poutine were absolutely delicious

Great brekky, quick service. Seating is mostly outside so it’s very cold so wrap up! Felt like they could have had more heaters or offered blankets maybe that’s the only reason for one less star. Would again

Amazing breakfasts. Hard to choose between all the options. Great vivid safety measures for sit in - one way system to your seat and exit, temperature checks on arrival, hand sanitizer and ordering from your table.

Visited in between Christmas and New Year, and it was extremely busy as always. A table with several children had tablets and phones on with the volume up full, making it much noisier than usual. The food was fresh and tasty but very expensive for a burger, hot dog, or sandwich with no fries.

My partner and I have been here a few times while taking the dog out, and it's been great every single time. The food is great and the prices aren't half bad either. Staff are very friendly and if you sign in the parking is free Also, the fact that it's dog friendly is a big win in my book! Would highly recommend 👌

Outstanding place to eat. Even outside, under the heaters, it was a great pleasure. One of our party is gluten intolerant and their menu has excellent options available. The portions are a good side and delicious. Highly recommend.

Visitamos en diciembre entre Navidad y Año Nuevo. Reservamos con antelación, lo cual fue una buena idea ya que estaba bastante ocupado. Todas las mesas interiores estaban reservadas y pasamos el día fuera bajo los calentadores, que estaba bien. Llegamos para el desayuno y aprovechamos la oferta de sartenes - 2 x sartenes más bebidas calientes y jugo por un precio fijo. El servicio fue rápido y eficiente. La comida estaba bien. La sartén escocesa era una porción decente, aunque el bollo tattie estaba un poco empapado, y parte del tocino demasiado cocido, el resto estaba sabroso y bien cocido. Tuve el mexi - sartén para variar, que aunque sabrosa la carne le faltaba un poco de condimento. Para 6 de nosotros eran alrededor de £ 90, solo pagos con tarjeta.

Always a treat to go here. We only go a couple of times a year when we're staying with family nearby. The burgers are fantastic, full of flavour.

Delicious food and dog friendly. Lovely staff. Nice atmosphere and a great offer on the breakfast skillets 2for1 👍

My partner and I both had burgers and shared a poutine! Food came so fast and the place was really well staffed and organised. Prices were really reasonable and the food was so worth it!! Recommend for anyone in the area!

Me encanta el desayuno canadiense - tortitas esponjosas y un montón de jarabe de arce. He estado en DTH dos veces ahora y volveremos pronto! Servicio amable también!

Food was absolutely top notch. First time going and couldn’t believe the quality and flavour of the food. Brilliant wee surprise it was. Definitely going back, they’ve got a heated outdoor seating area which is comfortable.

Got the vegetarian burger and a bacon cheeseburger. Both hit the spot massively. Didn’t have to wait overly long for them either

Although the hatch dog was cooked well and had good flavour, it was overly salty, making it hard to finish. Some lettuce & tomato might've made it nicer, but I suppose vegetables are not very popular. The toilet was locked because the light was spoilt, which is understandable. However, it's unacceptable not to have a sign saying the toilet was out of order, or have the waiters inform the customers. As a result, I waited outside in the cold for 5 minutes, went back in, and went out to try the toilet again to no avail, before I went back in again. I had to personally go up to the waiter and ask about their toilet. And then they suggested I try the toilet in another restaurant a distance away, which I had to walk in feeling like I'm intruding on them, using another restaurant's toilet without paying. So, the experience here was deeply unsatisfactory.

Ordered the main dish of poutine with pigs in blankets on top. Real nice mix of flavours and a filling portion 😀

Took the kids here for an end of weekend milkshake last Sunday (they shakes are great!). My middle son dropped his on the floor after one sip 😬 and was inconsolable. The super staff brought him out a new one....so kind, and really really appreciated, thank you!! 💕🙏

Been here a few times now for their breakfast skillets deal (2x skillets, hot drink and juice for £30) , which albeit has gone up a bit in price, is still a good deal. I always go for the mexican skillet which is fantastic. Always found the staff friendly and helpful too, recommended !

Come here every month. Can't recommend DTH enough. Staff are amazing and food is brilliant.

Great food. DTH never dissapoints. Coffee is top shelf aswell. Cheers guys

Great food, decent prices, lovely staff

Great breakfast spot by the water

Very very disappointed after reading the amazing reviews. I'm really not somebody to make a negative review. But feel I need to for the sake of others who may make the same mistake that we did! Specifically went here because they advertise that they do brunch. Arrived at 11.20am on Friday morning on the way to the airport to have brunch. Sat down and were told the "the kitchen doesn't open for lunch until 12pm" . I said, but we are here for brunch. To be told "the kitchen is closed". I then pointed to people that were sat there eating brunch! Won't be back!!!! I suggest that you update your Google profile to avoid further disappointed customers.

I love a fry up as much as anyone, (breakfasts are great here!), If you like fried comfort food - you will love this place, But no healthy options on the menu at all? Dishes and menu overall needs a bit of balance. A bit of veg (not fried) or side salad wouldn't hurt - honest!

Fantastic little restaurant with excellent food and friendly staff

Great food, no frills just great food at a reasonable cost

Excellent good, great menu with lots of options. Staff were fantastic and well priced. Really easy to get to, lots of parking, all round Excellent experience.

Went with 2 friends - excellent food, lovely service and reasonable prices.

So this place has always been a regular go to for delivery for my partner and I. We always order the large maple bacon poutine on the Deliveroo app that was priced at 9.50. Tried to place an order tonight only to see that they’ve scrapped the large portion. Called up and asked why the large portion wasn’t available anymore, only to be told it was a managerial decision. So if you want to order a large man sized portion you have to order two sides at the price of £6.75 each, bringing your new price to £13.50. So now you have to pay an extra £4 for a large which is a bit of a joke. I just Don’t appreciate getting fleeced for my favourite Canadian fast food. Bring back the large portion! P.s I’m not a unit, just a hungry man who appreciates a large portion of poutine at £9.50!! 😂

Been in and out for years now - tried all the brekkies and most of the main menu items too. All outstanding - worth how pricey it is and it's always a large portion so value for money is there. Cannot recommend enough but make sure you book as it's always busy on weekends!

Fantastic food and excellent service from Liam. We will definitely be back!!!

Started our holidays by dropping in to Down the Hatch. Good food and atmosphere, it was very busy at 10.30am but worth while. Not the cheapest but certainly true you get what you pay for.

Superb, 1st time eating at DTH. Worth the wait, definitely be back soon. Looking forward to having breakfast 👌👌

I remember Karinka’s Cafe fondly. This place is so underwhelming. I stopped for coffee and cake. “Have you a reservation?” No “You’ve missed breakfast” I only want coffee and cake. “We don’t sell cake or biscuits” I laughed, saying I hadn’t been in a cafe that didn’t. “We’re a restaurant , not a cafe” So, I had a very poor coffee, and sat puzzled as to why I bothered. It’s a tin shed with picnic tables. Staff are obviously unhappy. Never to return.

My husband and I went here for breakfast on Tuesday morning, and we're already ready to go back. I had the Canadian skillet, and a latte, and my husband had the Scottish breakfast and a biscoff milkshake. Very generous portion sizes, the food was delicious, my husband tried the pancakes from my dish and said they were the best pancakes he'd ever had. Friendly and welcoming staff. I highly recommend it, and we definitely need to go back for lunch.

The food was really good, and the Canadian theme made it very different.

Down the hatch must be 1 of the worst places in Edinborough for food Avoid avoid avoid 1 people have dogs sat on tables The people at the table next to us said sorry to the waitress and her reply. Don’t worry it happens all the time. 2 The food was saturated in Greece to the point where majority of the order was left upon the table 3 overpriced 4 I left the table with a server or dog hair in the back of my throat courtesy of the service from down the hatch 5 Extremely dirty outside with pet hair all around the corners don’t even look between the slats of the table that you’ve been served upon WILL NEVER RETURN

Great place, very busy today and they struggled to serve everyone quickly. They were very apologetic and working as hard as they could. Didn't detract from a nice meal.

Burger was a bit greasy but the chips were great 👍

The cheeriest kitchen I have ever seen.

Had an issue with non gluten items on a celiac meal but was resolved. Make sure you double check when you get your meal though.

Wasn't sure where we were heading for breakfast this morning, but I'm so glad my friend brought us here. A wet and windy Sunday morning with most of the seating outside, but the place was packed which certainly indicates how good it us. Fantastic coffee and the breakfasts were bang on. See the attached picture and note how lovingly my pal is staring at his Scottish breakfast 🤣. Would definitely recommend.

Maybe the best burger I have even had! We came here after a 10k running event and had incredible burgers and milkshakes. We have since been back for pancakes and bacon and can't wait to go back again.

I love a bit of DTH and have been visiting for years - particularly for breakfast. On this visit however they seem to be suffering from the 'snickers' syndrome where the price keeps going up but the size keeps shrinking. My hot dog was anorexic - like a cheap hot dog from a jar (my bench mark is the Costco full beef dog which is about 2 inches in diameter) - think iKea hot dog. The burger was also a little slimmed down from our last visit. DTH is still a great stop off but it's trending towards needing to get back to its hearty meal origins.

We met a few friends here for lunch, my wife and I shared a hot dog and dirty fries

Great at what they do, super service and excellent food at reasonable prices. The outdoor area is covered and heated and it all adds to the ambiance of the place. Selection of food is good and it even has a Doggie menu! Been for breakfast and lunch and never been disappointed. You do need to ask about the loyalty scheme as been there some 5-6 times and only just found out about it. However!!!! The toilets are not disabled friendly. Even for someone walking the step is huge and no chance with a wheelchair. Apparently their answer is use the facilities at the big shop next door, which frankly sucks

The staff are always great and the food is even better. Been here multiple times for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Never a bad meal. You’ve got to try the Canadian skillet breakfast at least once!

A nice place with a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and fresh, delicious food. recommend for a pleasant dining experience!

Been here a good few times. The food is good (especially the breakfast skillets) and the location is fantastic. Went through a period of poor service (very rude) so we avoided it for a while - but now seems to be back to its best.

Food was really good as always, but the service was a bit non-existent. We were forgotten about when it came to coming to take our order and then had to ask twice for the bill. It was busy but there were also lots of staff on shift. Wouldn't deter me from coming back but staff might need a bit more training.

Cracking Breakfast, definitely recommend going early for a breakfast skillet.. Good coffees too. Was here on my birthday and didn't disappoint..

The food is great the service very quick indeed more than enough portions would recommend this place to anyone

First time eating here today and really enjoyed it. Staff were super friendly and the food was awesome, nice wee outside eating area too. will definitely be going back.

Best buger joint ive been to in Scotland. Quality food and milkshakes. Also they sell angus and oink which is a bonus. Its been good every time we have been. Edit... its great for breakfast too ( not sure why I can't add photos)

Fantastic food, a must visit! Dog friendly, booking in advance recommended as it is a very popular spot!

Very disappointing , we arrived for our table and were told we had 5 min to order as the kitchen was closing, mediocre food but rushed out before we were properly finished. Given a table outside to allow the inside to be cleaned. Will never return.

Dog friendly seating area meant our 2 could come with us, even had their own order from the doggy menu. Food has been fantastic every time we've visited and the servers are brilliant.

Nice little find ....wasn't to sure of menu as had never tasted this type of food but it was delicious 😋 😜 👌

Food gd service slow. Music 2 loud

Great place. Service is usually great but have had an experience where the waiter acknowledged a specific request but did not pass on to the other service staff.

Lovely food and excellent service today at South Queensferry Hatch!

Took our booking then told on arrival the kitchen closes in half an hour please order quickly. Toilets very dirty portocabin

Had meal today fish - & Chips. Meal cool fish watery chips cool. Not up to scratch .disappointing Sweet lovely. Ruth Hampton

Great place to eat. Better atmosphere than the big one in the town. Prices are not cheap but you get good quality of food.

Lived this place, a bit pricey but the food was worth it

Frist time, we came for breakfast and we really enjoyed it and the service was fab 😀see u soon x

Great location with a large covered area for outdoor eating. My burger was excellent.

Really good food, only downside was the staff weren’t very enthusiastic

Food amazing! Highly recommended

Terrible customer service told us there were no seats they were all booked but let other walk ins sit down

Nice wee canadian diner, service was great and food was good, a bit overpriced maybe but overall a good experience.

I LOVE it here! The food is so so good! Tasty, hot, flavour packed, incredible combinations and very reasonable prices. Staff are friendly, welcoming and super efficient! 10/10 ❤️

Had a lovely breakfast, staff very friendly, was a treat from my son

Excellent- can't fault anything

Food was excellent and our servers were great.

Had to wait 10 minutes for just a bottle of water and can drink. Not recommended very unprofessional and lazy staff don't know how to serve customers.

Food was good, lovely place, service was great, definitely worth a visit

Amazing!!! 😍 Tasty food and great price! Dog friendly 🐶🐾

Took my Canadian cousin here. He was really happy with the haggis choices

Went for breakfast prior to heading to airport on holiday. Skillets were awesome as usual!

Excellent food,good qty,good prices. Just a big pot of tea for two/me at Breakfast would be the icing on the cake.

Without a doubt the best burgers we ever had. A true touch of brilliance.

Amazing Bacon and maple syrup milkshake. Sounds odd but it's so tasty

Nice jump back to Canadian cuisine! Yummy cheese steak!

Amazing tacos and slightly underwhelming poutine. It wasn't bad, just not up to the general hype in the reviews. They have strawberry Fanta, though. A 5-star place to eat, because of the friendly staff.

This is a really lovely wee restaurant. The food was so good I didn't get a photo until we where done. Huge portions of really good food for a brilliant price. The menu had something for everyone, We where there for breakfast and even then the choice was great! Hubby took me for a birthday brunch after he went to the one in Edinburgh for a stag do and really enjoyed it. I'm a huge plant fan as well so the outside area was my kind of place. Sadly it was too cold to sit out there but the inside was lovely too, a little like a fishing shack but purposely done so it was cosy and comfortable. The staff where extremely cheery and really helpful, great service and atmosphere between the staff members was really friendly. Highly recommend. We will definately be back again ☺️.

This restaurant is a Canadian restaurant, not very Scottish. The Burgers and chips (fries) were great. We were there when Taylor Swift was in town so they had a video of a former concert with music that didn't match the video. It was Taylor Swift music though.

Lovely food, friendly staff enjoyed the milkshakes

We came here before the airport for breakfast and got the 2 skillets deal for breakfast and it was amazing. Loved it so much we visited again with our dog. Really good deal for the skillet and even have a dog menu too so the pup didn’t feel left out. Food is amazing and lovely staff will be back again.

Tucked away on an industrial estate in South Queensferry it wasn't easy to find but very glad to have ventured out there. Excellent Canadian & American inspired food and great table service, this place is well worth a visit! Next time you're in the Ferry give this place a go, you will not be disappointed (just mind and enter your licence plate when going in to get the free parking).
