OX184 in Edinburgh, City of

Popped in early Sunday evening. Food as good as always. Very nice friendly serving staff. Our burgers arrived in quick time and were perfectly cooked. Marked down atmosphere only because it was very quiet. A great place for food and a catch up with family or friends.

One Star - Very Disappointing Experience Unfortunately, our visit to this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The food was not good at all – poorly prepared and lacking in flavor. Even worse, the service was terrible. We were not given any cutlery when our food arrived, and despite asking several times, we couldn’t even get napkins. The staff was inattentive and unprofessional throughout the entire experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone. There are far better options elsewhere.

Never had such a hostile experience.

Wheelchair accessible. Really nice menu but I have usually only gone for the lighter options. Good, usually local, selection on tap and a cocktail menu.

In Edinburgh for a 5 day trip and my partner stumbled across this establishment on a solo walk and decided to book a table in advance for the Saturday evening meal for a special occasion we were celebrating.... The menu ticked all our favourites steak burgers chicken - you name it it's on the menu.... We ordered 3 starters to share - the scotched egg first time taster and it was lovely.... the chicken bites - decent but noting freshly prepped about them but hey that's fair too. The fried Calamari was horrible - soft grease soaked batter with what was like an elastic chew middle no taste... we didn't eat more than one bite each! I've had better from the supermarket cooked at home. For our mains - we ordered two "steak" burgers the OX184 with everthing on it. My partner ordered the loaded fries with mac and cheese on The "steak" burgers were not made from freshly ground meat- they were way to processed and chewie for this. Our food was not hot but luke warm. The kitchen was asked to add the loaded fries on [mac and chesse] after they forgot my the server! While they did this they left our food sitting in the hot plate for a unacceptable period of time. We could see this all in action as seated oppisate. The mac and cheese was still cold along with the sauces in particular. On request for them to be heated we got back the same sauces and colder than they went back. The chips were, I'm going to guess recooked or else their oil is dirty as they were black and crunchy. We abstained from dessert as we had enough of they poor food quality! On paying I tried to talk to our waitress but she didn't give me much of a response she just continued with the transaction. From working in hospitality I don't blame her, she no doubt is often left to deal with issues if this is their normal standard. We paid in full but it wasn't worth it. We had far better food in ordinary public houses in Edinburgh for less £. Take my advice and avoid here. They overall hygiene of the establishment isn't fantastic either. Toilets in particular for 8pm on a evening and they already wet and smelly they are not cleaned to a high standard or upkept during the day. One star for foods for the scotched egg 2 stars for service is the waitress serving us was pleasant did also correct the kitchen on the fires too missing the mac and cheese. 2 stars for atmosphere as anyone having drinks looked to be enjoying themselves. Out vibe was ruined by the food quality tho.

Amazing late night food! And excellent beers / cocktails

Awful service. A rude waitress came out of nowhere and told us to leave due to a booking. There was no note on the table and the manner that she spoke to us says a lot about the ethic of this place.

0 Stars Should Be An Option TLDR; waited over 90 mins for food, orders were incorrect, didn't receive cutlery or napkins, staff were rude and most avoided taking any responsibility I don't normally leave negative reviews and prefer to give feedback directly, but after being ignored and brushed off by multiple staff, I feel this is necessary. I went to this restaurant yesterday with a group of people for my friend's birthday. We had an event to get to afterwards, and gave ourselves a two hour window - which should have been plenty of time to order, eat our food, and pay, even with a larger group. A few people had gotten there early and already ordered, so we put in our orders seperately, not long after. Our drinks and two starters arrived, but after almost an hour of waiting (from the time of ordering), our food still hadn't arrived. We asked if it was coming, and were assured that it would be 10 minutes. 20 minutes later, the food still hadn't arrived. We asked again, and the waiter we spoke to held up his hands and said he didn't have anything to do with it. We ended up having to ask for the bill before the food even arrived to make sure we could make it to our event. When the first round of food (aside from the two starters) arrived, we were not given napkins, and one person received the wrong side and was told it would be corrected. We had to go up to the bar to ask for napkins and cutlery. The few of us who had ordered slightly later asked if our food was on it's way and the waiter asked us what we ordered and wrote it down again to bring back to the kitchen staff. One of our servers did actually apologise (the only apology we received all evening) and said she could bring takeout boxes for us so we could take the food with us. We had to follow up again about 15 minutes later, and were assured it would be ready within five minutes. We finally got our food 1 hour and 27 minutes after ordering (no takeout boxes), and I received the wrong side as well, which I pointed out. We were also not given cutlery or napkins. They (thankfully) brought the correct side out - prompting the first person whose order was incorrect to follow up again and ask where theirs was (almost two hours after he had first ordered). Most of our group had to leave to make sure they weren't late for the event we had following (again, two hours should have been more than enough time). The food was fine - though very messy for having not been given napkins, and mine was slightly burnt but after waiting for so long and being brushed off so many times, I didn't bother bringing it up. We ate as quickly as possible and headed out - without being acknowledged by a single member of staff who were completely avoiding us by that point. When we left there was a large group of people waiting for our table that were obviously incredibly annoyed at having been made to wait after their reservation time for our table to be clear. This is by far and away the worst experience I have had at a restaurant and with waitstaff. I understand being busy and understaffed, but the lack of accountability and service we recieved was astounding. Will avoid at all costs.

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. We ordered some drinks and fries—the beer was great, but the fries were too hard and the portion felt small for the price. That said, it’s still a nice spot to grab a drink, and I’d recommend it for that!

Local with a good atmosphere and good craft beer, although not very varied. We went late (12:30 at night) and had some hamburgers for dinner that were pretty good. Staff of 10.

ho mangiato l’hotdog vegano piú buono del mondo. anche gli anelli di cipolla stra buoni. le porzioni sono super abbondanti. ottimo qualità prezzo. il ragazzo che ha servito me e la mia amica è stato molto gentile. tempi di attesa un po’ lunghini ma ne è valsa assolutamente la pena. non vedo l’ora di tornare! thank you!!

Lovely quick dinner pre gig. Service was quick & food excellent. Place could do with more heating.

Magnificent discovery. The place is stylish, the dishes are delicious, Scottish specialties, good service and a DJ livens up the evening. I recommend

Visited again the place, we went for cocktails and food. The service was excelent, fast and the food was quite nice. The staff was outstading and very professional.

Tuvimos múltiples problemas con la bebida, uno es que tardaron una hora en venir y cuando hablamos cortésmente con la camarera, ella fue extremadamente grosera con una de las personas de mi mesa. Mala experiencia general

Served by Sarah tonight, both at the bar and table. Extremely polite and professional - absolutely made my evening with friends (and strangers)! Beer was crisp and fresh, and the chips even more so. Would definitely recommend!

The bar is really nice and beautiful, a little bit expensive, small food portions, it’s ok to have a drink and the atmosphere there was great

Worst experience, not enough staff 1 guy behind the bar and 1 on tables. Had to wait for 25 minutes for a pint. Shite DJ and food is average. Must say the guy behind the bar Dean was very patient and professional although customers were arguing shouting. Deserves a medal for that bravery 🏅 😂

Service was great, Aran was amazing really looked after us

Complete tourist trap. Without doubt the worst service I've ever received in a restaurant, ever, anywhere in the world. The staff are completely clueless. Food was also poor and tasteless when it eventually arrived. Stay well clear.

Went in for dinner tonight. Was served by Zeina - food was amazing and so was her service!

Food was delicious however it got really busy all of a sudden and the poor chap behind the bar upstairs got backed up to the point that we waited for 45mins for drinks. We gave up in the end and then I went up to cancel the order and get the bill which took a further 20mins to get processed which wasn't ideal. However, I'd still recommend a visit as we all really enjoyed our food and had a great time up until the point things got too busy for the staff.

Club súper grande, 2 niveles, espacioso con una gran selección de bebidas y comida sabrosa, el lugar siempre está limpio y es agradable volver aquí. Recomiendo 👍

Donald and sirena were fab at the bar! Defo recommend coming to see them! They recommend the best drinks and shots!

Sirina and Donald were lovely mixologists. Recommend coming to see them for the banging cocktails !!!

Large, spacious place, well-stocked bar, tasty cuisine 👍

The food is delicious, it has a very good atmosphere and the service is super friendly from everyone.

Went here before works night out. Loved it

Good food and atmosphere, especially for NYE. General manager throwing out people at random, but bouncers themselves were pretty friendly. Poor manager, that is all.

Expensive and low standards food.... Service was good specially DEAN, we changed our order a couple of times still he had a smiley face and very kind attitude. 2 welcoming Guards on both doors. Highly recommended

We booked a table for new years and waited 20 mins before anyone came to take our drinks order. They only came to take our order because I asked them to, and when I did all three waitresses tried to ignore me at first before acting annoyed when I politely asked them to come to the table. The drinks took 15 mins to arrive because they only had one person making drinks for the entire upstairs. Again nobody came to take our glasses or next drinks orders. When the staff came to the table they were a lot more polite but we were there for 2 hr and only manage to get two drinks after resorting to queuing for 15 mins at the bar. All things and the drinks are pretty expensive for what they are.

Servizio pessimo abbiamo aspettato 30 min per il bere ( arrivato anche incompleto) e più di un ora per il cibo, un hot dog , due piatti di salsiccia e uno spiedino di agnello. Ad aggravare dopo aver ricevuto il cibo si sono dimenticati di portare le posate….. alla qualità dei piatti non darei più di 2 stelle

Lovely open space. Great food. Excellent choice of beers. Service could be better but only 2 staff on.

I was told about this place by one of the locals as we wanted to grab food and a drink quite late on a Sunday night; very chilled out bar where a lot of the night workers from across Edinburgh go to after their shifts end. Only minor downside was the food was a wee bit pricey however the choice of drinks was good.

A dead bar, a waiter who never came to order meals, who spilled our glass (too small) on the phone without apologizing and without cleaning up and a vodka (?) redbull was close to 10 £. So deplorable service and a hefty bill, we do not recommend this place. FYI it was a Sunday evening just before Christmas, clearly no crowd in this bar/restaurant.

Very poorly served, despite an almost empty establishment. The music (recorded) was good but that's the only positive point. No opinion on the cuisine because we were unable to order, the waiter never came back. Maybe he didn't dare after spilling a lot of Redbull on my wife's phone, without apologizing, cleaning up, or even just providing us with napkins. The said Redbull was supposed to be accompanied by vodka, which we did not smell. What we did notice was the bill, almost 10 pounds for half a Redbull in a glass that was too small and a trace of vodka (not even sure). Would not recommend.

Food was only ok We were cold There was no milk or toilet roll Service was terrible

Great staff & atmosphere, food/cocktails either need to be a bit cheaper or a bit better quality.

A lovely pub, food so so. Staff excellent and good cider.

Hello, I ordered a rare hamburger and they brought me burnt and dry. Very bad. I won't come back.

Huge pub with small private venue upstairs. Received lots of attention and great service. Basic menu but the food was good. Delegates enjoyed the selection of beers on tap. Definitely worth a visit. Thank you to Mason and the team.

Very good sandwich, hamburger with exceptional meat, they had cooked it wrong for me and so they made it again... and since they made me wait an hour, due to the mix-up they practically offered it to me. Very kind. Plus, which is very useful, they are open until very late, when all the other pubs only serve drinks.

Good burgers and many beers to try. Good place to go for lunch or dinner with friends or students. Reduced prices for them. Good burger with many varieties. tap and draft beer and bottles

Young atmosphere, it seems that it is a place designed for students above all. The food was good, nothing to write home about. The service was very friendly and fast. Luckily we went at a time when there were very few people so the atmosphere was pretty good, but I don't even want to imagine it on a Friday night 😅

Beautiful pub on two floors, with nice decor. It has the right light, which creates atmosphere. Open until late, with the kitchen following the opening hours, which is not at all a given in Scotland. Good burgers and beers too. Good service, with ordering at the table.

Service could be a little better. Very slow to get drinks even though there’s so many staff!

Dinner with the group at this place. Don’t get the nachos if you are used to getting them in the United States. Chips are a pass. I had the cheese and jalapeño on a flat bread that was very good. Even came with a small salad and fries with a chipotle sauce. I would order this again for sure.

The food was GREAT! When we went there was a lovely worker who spoke Spanish, so she made our stay a lot easier. We also had some very good cocktails, the truth is that they do everything well!

Were there late on a quiet evening. Burger was mediocre. Partially burnt and dry. Service was slow. Live music on site was good!

Visitamos aquí para una copa durante el Fringe. Muy buen bar en el interior, y el servicio era agradable y amable. Gran selección de cervezas, y precios lo que se esperaría para la zona. La comida también se veía bien. Lo recomendaría para algunas cervezas agradables en un entorno agradable.

This place was really nice to eat in. Irn Bru wings were lovely Burgers to die for Friendly staff

Soy el conserje de un hotel de 5 estrellas en Edimburgo y envío a mis huéspedes a cenar al restaurante OX 184 Me dijeron durante el desayuno que el restaurante es muy agradable, la comida no es mala, pero tomó más de una hora para servir las bebidas y la comida. Entiendo que durante el festival estamos muy ocupados, pero eso parece demasiado tiempo para esperar. Tuvieron que comer mal y rápido porque tenían un espectáculo al que llegaron tarde y que les arruinó la noche. Desafortunadamente, no recomendaría este lugar de nuevo.

The food was great and my friends and I were really appreciative having their kitchen opener later than most. But the service was atrocious. 10+ minutes to get a quick draft pint. No one took our food order despite sitting at an empty table for 15 minutes, and different bartenders gave us different answers on how to order food.

Food was fine. Service was none existent. Was seated upstairs. Plenty staff behind the bar, but no one serving. Plenty empty tables.

Nice, not great, but nice. The service was friendly and a little funny, but slow - not enough people!

Do not come and eat on a Saturday evening, service too long. The waiter was alone for the entire upstairs room, too bad the burger was good

Waited for 20 minutes for 2 pints and a g&t. Had to remind the bartender 3 times. The service is a joke.

Rude staff. A friend asked if one of the mocktails could be made alcoholic and was told to order a cocktail instead. Staff member who took order and payment couldn't make the drinks because he was "just floor staff" so we had to wait for a bartender after paying, which caused some confusion between ourselves and the staff. It was a quiet Monday night and the bouncer was complaining about working during the festival although I did ask him if he was alright, I wasn't expecting such a hate filled response to the Fringe lol. Won't be back.

We went here as a family party of 14 people. On account of the number of people, we had made our booking a week ahead. We had stressed the need for accessible seating as we had gran in a wheelchair. Imagine our surprise when a place was set upstairs. I don’t know who flubbed our reservation. They made up seating for us downstairs which worked well for the teenagers as they got their own table separate from the parents. The music selection was superb and at a good volume. The food was exquisite; the cocktails were great; the service was excellent. I think because we were 14, the 3 steak orders got messed up. They all asked for medium well, but we were only served 1 medium well, and 2 well done. We had lamb, steak, mac n cheese, sweet potato chips, fries, salad, haggis balls, nachos…and that was only at the adults’ table.

Personal grosero. Un amigo le preguntó si uno de los cócteles se podía hacer alcohólico y le dijeron que pidiera un cóctel en su lugar. Un miembro del personal que tomó el orden y el pago no podía hacer las bebidas porque era "solo el personal del piso", así que tuvimos que esperar a un camarero después de pagar, lo que causó cierta confusión entre nosotros y el personal. Era un lunes tranquilo por la noche y el portero se quejaba de trabajar durante el festival aunque le pregunté si estaba bien, no esperaba una respuesta tan llena de odio al Fringe lol. No volveré.

OX184 is a great find! We happened up on it one day and went back the next for dinner and drinks! Pub food and drink with a modern vibe. Very large seating capacity, friendly service, great food.

Food is very basic. Stuff is not very welcoming. Far better places around

Fries were great, mac and cheese was fantastic. However the burger was very poor (especially considering the gaff specialises in burgers). It was dry and the burger patty was far far too chargriled where all it had was that dry chargrilled smokey taste. But not at all in a pleasant way. Me and my partner both thought the exact same thing and we were very disappointed with it. But all of the other food as I say was very nice.

Great spot for drinks and late night food. We booked here for our post-wedding drinks with about a 20-person party. The place is very spacious with benches. Was great to be able to order food until late (2 am) and a great selection of Scottish beers washed it down. Appreciate the plant based burger option! Only complaint is the toilets, which were a fair walk away upstairs on the opposite end of the place!

Lots of places were booked up with reservations. Hostess at a full restaurant suggested trying OX184. It fit the bill. Great tap selection, varied casual menu. Everyone in the party was able to what they wanted. Service was attentive.

From the most beautiful places to have fun and enjoy a nice atmosphere with excellent bartenders and waitress staff.

Excellent food and staff…good vibes! Great location in the center of town, cool people, excellent aesthetic…definitely will come back.

Good place to eat. Quality and cheap food. Nice place with good atmosphere

Small menu of cocktails but you can go to the bar and ask for a specific cocktail. My husband wanted a white russian and the bartender was happy to mix it for him. We only ordered some fries and they were ok.

The chicken thigh sandwich was amazing! The sauce was great, and the thighs were cooked perfectly! We also had the lamb kabob, it was called something else, but it was very tasty as well.

Great late night bar. I've been there a couple of times after finishing working an event. Busy, but everyone is chill in their own space at their tables. Definitely want to try late night eats next time.

Arrived late on a rainy day in Edinburgh Was looking for something to eat late in the evening Got OX184 as recommendation from locals as they serving food until 2am And it was really good and employees are kind Try this out !!!!

Place sucks big time. Took them half an hour to serve a few gin tonic and shots.

Rich! Very! The spacious, modern atmosphere. It is one of the few places where you can dine after 10 p.m.

Delicious food and drinks, nice atmosphere!

Superb place to taste whiskey while this restaurant has very good dishes.

Lovely upmarket bar and restaurant with a really late opening hours. A great place to hang out till the wee hours without going "out" out

Very noisy restaurant, long service, I had a Burger, overcooked steak and mushy pasta in Burger. I do not recommend

Stopped by for a quick late bite and a drink. Nice pub and with industrial vibes. Recommended

Unfortunately, I was throwing up your meal in the morning with shivers and fever. Apart from that I had one drink, felt good entire day/week. I was the only person eating that night and the only person getting sick next say. Everyone else in there group has been and is still fine 🤮

went for a couple anniversary drinks with my partner and was meant to be only a stop by but ended up spending almost 2 hours there although the drinks and atmosphere were amazing what made us stick around was the great customer service we spoke to matt and he made the night so enjoyable sharing with us his favourites and other cocktails we might like he was kind and friendly and made it certain that i will return and soon!!

Very expensive and the dryest and worst ribs I’ve ever had

Only popped in for a drink before a gig at La. Belle Angel. Nice bar, lots of space. Lots of beers on tap and we were served efficiency.

Nice place to eat something and have a drink. Large open space. The food may only be good because the hamburgers were dry as chips, but I could eat it.

We were looking for some late night food at 9pm and all the pubs were booked up or not serving food. We were told to visit OX184 as they serve food really late. The service was great and so was the food! The vibe is clubby so if you’re looking for something quiet this isn’t it, it is a vibe though and still allows you to have convo. We enjoyed it!

They treated us very well, since dinner time there is quite early and we went a little late. We ate 2 burgers with fries and they were very good. The best the attention.

Staff member was very rude, ruined my experience as up to that point I was really enjoying myself and had a inclusive vibe.

It was the only restaurant in central Edinburgh that served food after 9:00 pm. Whether you’re a night owl, or in need of a midnight snack, OX186 is the place to be. Kudos to waiting staff for an excellent service!

A nice bar and eatery all round, but just feels a bit stale and noisy, with uncomfortable seats.

Service was very slow and the floor staff didn't know the menu. Whiskey sour was awful. Left after one drink.

Order delivery time was pushed back twice. Driver was lost on the wrong street so I had to go find him. Food was stone cold. Very disappointed. Wasted money.

Place located a few steps from Royal Mile, very large and spacious, friendly staff, especially Jaime, good delicacies, and good sandwiches, wide choice of beer and what's more it is one of the few places to serve food until late. The restaurant closes at 3.00 AM

Worst service ever. On a slow Sunday night we got ignored by the waitress for 20 minutes straight. Didn’t even have the chance to order. She was more interested in her own drinks and her smartphone.

Was on the street just like that without notification it is delivered..

Vegetarian options are great, everything is full of flavours, nicely prepared, fries are super crispy just as I like. Been there 2 times in a last month, every time service was perfect, waitress was super nice and polite. It could be bit warmer during the winter. Big windows doing the job, whole place has a nice vibe and cool decor.

I had a hamburger 🍔 and a cheesecake

Visited with a group of friends for drinks initially but ended up getting food as well. There’s lots to choose from on the menu, and everyone I was with said they thoroughly enjoyed theirs. The drinks service was fast and the friendly staff were always floating around to take drinks orders. Would recommend!

easily the worst restaurant i've ever been to. group booking of 13 people, in restaurant 90minutes at least, 50% of food came out and only 2 of these were actually warm. total disgrace.

Drinks and service were overpriced and hot great

They actually can have great food, but the "bouncer" at the door can be incredibly rude. No idea why, but if it stays that way I wouldn't come back.
