The Balgreen Fryer in Edinburgh, City of

Got chips really not nice tasted like they'd been lying all day and re heated would not recomend to anyone would definitely give this place a miss

Ordered via Just Eat. Arrived 45 minutes late. Shop did offer to refund when I told them it was stone cold, but too late for my children. Chips were soggy. Two slices of batter, but barely any fish in there - takes real skill to slice fish so thinly, so effectively just an empty batter pocket, and very greasy. After 1hour and 35 mins, was prepared to eat just about anything, yet couldn’t eat this. I’ve honestly never had a worst fish and chips in my life, and will never order anything from there again.

Qué puedo decir. Pedimos comida que tardó más de 2 horas en llegar a nosotros. Eran tan inútiles y, a pesar de varias llamadas telefónicas, todavía no llegaba nada. Finalmente fuimos a buscar algo más solo para encontrar al conductor de la entrega despistado caminando sin rumbo fijo. Sin disculpas No hubo reembolso y la comida estaba fría y rancia y las raciones también eran horribles. Evitar

Les pedimos esta noche 1 ensalada con ensalada de col y queso, 1 solo pescado y 1 hamburguesa de pollo con papas fritas, al abrir la entrega encontramos que uno de los recipientes de poliestireno tenía (2) pescado, no 1 según lo solicitado y solo (9) papas escondidas debajo ! . Estamos muy decepcionados e infelices con esto. Y la comida era de mala calidad, fría, gomosa, no malgastes tu dinero con este lugar.

Más de media hora tarde y tus chips están empapados. Pizza sólida como una roca. Nos mintió 3 VECES. Nos dijo que el conductor de la entrega llegó a la puerta y no nos escucharon. Luego, el conductor de la entrega llamó por teléfono y dijo que no podían encontrar la dirección. ENTONCES el restaurante llamó por teléfono y dijo que volvieron a llamar y que no respondimos, 10 minutos después la comida llegó a la puerta y no era buena. Chips todo resbaladizo y empapado. Pizza dura por fuera y ni siquiera tan agradable.??????????! ! ! ¡NO PEDIR! ! ! ??????????

Mi esposo compró un kebab para él y pescado y papas fritas para mí. Esto fue el viernes por la tarde la semana pasada. Por lo general, se puede esperar un pescado decente en un viernes, ya que tradicionalmente se trataba de una pesca reciente. Esta fue, con toda honestidad, la peor excusa para el pescado que he probado en mi vida. La textura estaba mal, era una papilla, casi una pasta, cubierta con una mezcla que era como una mezcla para panqueques. Incluso habían puesto dos en la caja, lo que podrías pensar que era un bono, pero solo hizo que fuera más pesado llevarlo a la papelera. Estaba lloviendo o lo habría devuelto. Las patatas fritas no eran mejores, tenían un sabor dulce como si hubieran compartido el aceite con la bondad, ¡saben qué! Me aseguraré de que nunca vuelva a utilizar este chippy.

Nuevo propietario (aunque echo de menos a Mo y charlando con él), que ha mantenido los estándares anteriores. Buena comida, grandes porciones y un personal amable. Tuvimos la cena de pescado, la cena de costilla del rey y la cena de pollo mientras estábamos de visita. No me decepcionó! Nuestro ir al lugar para una cena rápida en Gorgie!

Special fish overcooked, chips cold...worst fish supper I have ever had...phoned to complain & he put phone down on me !!

Been coming here for a little while now an never left disappointed. Love the big juicy burgers. Hits the spot. Keep it going guys

The Ballgreen Fryer is well knows. Plenty of fish in their fish Suppers. One of the best Chippies in teh West.

Mi ir al lugar para una comida rápida cuando estoy en Edimburgo. Muy cerca de Tynecastle, Murrayfield y justo a la salida de Gorgie Rd. Raciones muy generosas y siempre buenas, frescas y calientes. A un precio muy razonable. Hay tantas cosas que me gustan aquí que es difícil recomendar una cosa: me encanta cualquier cosa con el donnar, el pollo y la costilla. Lo mejor es el amable personal y el dueño! Siempre es un placer visitar! !

Pedí pescado y patatas fritas para 5 personas y tuve que esperar un corto tiempo para recién freír el pescado. Cada porción contenía 2 filetes de pescado y la pasta era agradable y crujiente. Patatas fritas no tan crujientes pero tenía un gran sabor. Todo a un precio razonable y muy caliente.

No pierda su tiempo pidiendo desde el Balgreen freidora. Mi hermano bajó a responder a la puerta y pagar por la entrega y el conductor de la entrega fue muy grosero con él y miraron como él iba a matarlo. La hamburguesa que había pedido estaba completamente pasada y la carne muy negro, así que acabé por no comer. El bateador de pollo es tan gruesa que tiene la textura de goma y básicamente no hay pollo dentro de no mencionar las patatas fritas repugnante. Las patatas fritas eran tan grasienta que no estoy bromeando, había goteo de salida de grasa la caja de mi ordenador portátil. También las patatas fritas sabor nauseabundo, como si hubiéramos ido. Absolutamente horrible comida, una pérdida de dinero!

Boak rather eat dog food chicken had a heart beat the fish was still swimming that raw don't waste your money buy whiskers or chum rank worst chips in the world

Awful. won’t be ordering from here again. Spoke to someone on the chat at 19.40 who said the order would be with me in 2 minutes. At 19.50 called the chip shop myself to hear this guy shouting in the background “I DONT KNOW ABOUT ANY “insert address here”. Was told the food wasn’t in the shop so it must be on the way. Another 20 minutes I called again (the shop is 5 minutes drive away if that) told again the food isn’t in the shop so it’s on it’s way. I asked the girl to call the driver and I would wait on the phone. I said I was getting pretty annoyed and she said she understood and it would be there soon and put the phone down! Felt like she didn’t want to deal with me. Shocking

Didn't need to wait a long time. Food was hot and cooked well. Would Deffo use again.

great service, fast delivery & really tasty

The food wasn’t that great also says a large donner but was definitely not large at all meat was a wee bit dry cheese smelt funny aswell

Decent food; warm, chips weren't too hard, batter was a bit tough in parts. Pizza was spot on. They added 5 mins to the delivery time, but it was delivered on time (with their added 5 mins). Delivery driver was awesome! Good job. Left before I could sort him out a tip though. If I'm ever in Edinburgh again I'll defo reorder!!

The food was okay but not worth the wait. Phoned up twice to query where my food was and the woman who answered the phone would perhaps be more suited to working through the back with her attitude. Don't think I'd go here again not unless a few things changed.

We all really enjoyed the fish & chips

The food wasn't horrible but the batter on everything was really soggy and soft. The chips were quite soft and soggy as well. Like I said, it wasn't horrible just not my usual standard of chippy.

Food arrived, 45 minutes late, freezing cold by the time it arrived aswell. Waste of money

My food was 30 minutes late despite them only being 1 mile away from where I live. I had got a message saying it was on route ten minutes before it was supposed to arrive suggesting it was sitting in a delivery car for 40 minutes. The food was soggy, cold and the sauce was lumpy when it arrived. Not very happy with it and when I phoned asking why it was late, there was no apology given.

Would not order from here again. Pizza was over an hour late.

Got the wrong order. I asked for a chicken pakora kebab and some chips. I received x4 pieces of chicken pakora with chips (not a kebab?) And an extra portion of chips I then didn't need. Food quality was not close to as good as any times I've ordered from there in the past.

pizza wasn't that spicy and onion rings were soggy and chips did taste like they were cooked

Food very Nice and hot, delivery time extremely long, due yo being at work I was unable to pick it up or would have been a lot quicker.

Stopped off for a fish supper on the way home from Edinburgh. Very poor quality fish and chips (and no mushy peas). Those in charge did not treat the staff well in front of customers. Both fish and chips poor.

Usually food from this place is good,but the last time I have ordered calzone, it felt like i was eating pure onions.... Huge chunks, could not feel anything else apart from these onions....

Not good. Ordered Sprite, was given 7up. Ordered jumbo haggis supper, was given white pudding supper.Ordered a large portion of chips, they were all mashed up in a ball. Will never order from here again.

was a bit disappointed with the food, it had clearly been cooked and hung around in a cabinet 'keeping warm' (getting soggy and tough) for too long.

I rarely leave reviews but this place has the best burgers I've had from a takeaway in Edinburgh, pizzas are also great, and perfect to heat up again the day after if need be!

Pizza was abit burnt chips well under cooked and seem to always be under cooked, gave me sprite instead of lilt without phoning me to tell me.

Opened up the box to immediately see a hair stuck into the chips. Completely off putting and of course could not eat the rest of my food. Ruined both me and my partners dinner. The chips were also undercooked.

Fish and chips x 2, more batter than fish and slightly greasy, we have had better from this chip ship

waited 2 hours for my delivery in which I did try to call but was put on hold every time. not in any hurry to order again

Food was quite disappointing sad to say, chips seemed old, they weren't very nice at all, chicken was dry. Quite disappointing as I have bought from there a few times. Good was delivered 30 mins before the time requested ( don't want to sound petty) that wasn't a big problem it was the food.

thanks for delivery but the chips were cold and had no option for sauce

Got a fish supper fish was not fresh the worste ever had a horrible taste and was cold chips were cold and single steak pie was cold wont be back there for food

Special burger was like a piece of rubber. Pizza was too salty.

food overcooked or had been sitting for a while, restaurant were rude on phone had to contact Just Eat

Very poor quality food. The fish batter was dry and chewy with dry fish underneath. Chips were also very dry and tasted old. Ate some due to hunger then threw in the bin, did not feel well the rest of the night and next day. Unfortunately won't order again, total waste of money.

just oil , chips soaked in oil, hamburger soggy full of oil & haggis drenched with oil, all ended up in bin , shame as used to be a great takeaway 😢👎🏻

ordered a balgreen special burger. 2 horrible burgers smothered in tasteless cheese without the sauce I requested. basically a half pounder but a pound more because it's called a "balgreen special" even my bin spat it out. served with greasy Luke warm chips. battered mushrooms, smothered in that much brown sauce it formed one giant horrible brown greasy mess. stinking. won't be back.

my food was not great at all. It tasted as though the fryer had not been cleaned properly as well as a freezer burn taste to my chips. After waiting an hour or so for delivery I expected my food to be fresh and tasty however it definitely was not that. This is the first time I have ordered from here and will be my last. Certainly not impressed at all as I have just had to throw it in the bin as it tasted so awful. Wasted my money too.

always early on time time never late great service and food is great also

all but one of my kids meals went in the bin cause the nuggets were not nice the kids sed and ask for brown sauce on my steak pie and I came dry wats the point in asking me what you want on it if it still cones dry not good like not ordering fro here again 😞

It was our first time ordering from here and I must say that I was a bust scared as I saw a few bad reviews but we decided to go ahead anyway. The food came earlier that we were expecting so that was a bonus. The calzone was superb, meat quite tender and juicy and good taste. I'll definetly order again

I've had pizza from here before and they were really good. However i ordered hamburger supper today. The chips were really not good, very greasy and undercooked, potato still hard, and burger wasnt the best either.

The food is always great here, we order all the time! It comes so quickly and the delivery man is super lovely :)

was okie wud have been full marks if order was right

Please add mobile phone number to the description as the buzzer for my flat was broken and I had to hunt down a number to tell the restaurant that.

Chips were not great but everything else was top notch!

My burger was not fresh and putting real chews on it didn't hide the fact that it was an old burger not cooked on the grill! onion rings were hard and not fresh, overall the food was disgusting and don't recommend ANYONE order from here will not be using this service again!!

food was good quality and delivery was very fast how ever ordered a meal deal and kebab meet was missing from the order

great food but didn't read the instructions on the order no salt and sauce on chips as requested

Fish was brick hard and cold chips and kebab was cold

chips and pizza were very disappointing, I couldn't eat them the Donner meat was better but not the take away for me.

good delivery time. sadly the food was dire

Soggy again! Delivery speed was exceptional but I am willing to drop that for quality! ! Speed isn't EVERYTHING! The delivery guy is also so good! I am willing to wait longer for a crisp and crunchy meal than rushed!

No puedo alabar este preparado normalmente lo suficiente, pero sentir recientemente de cocinar ha ido estándar cuesta abajo. Hoy Sun 28 @ 6. 45 x 2 cenas pescado dieron que estaba asqueroso. Sentimos que nos dejaron tendido demasiado largo y eran muy grasientos. Las patatas fritas eran una mezcla de antiguo más patatas fritas chips hecho hecho y bajo. Ha habido un cambio de propiedad? Normalmente la comida es genial. No volvería.

Food was good and delivered on time and still hot

Unfortunately paid for 2 topping pizza as part of meal deal but only recieved one of them

Great food, friendly reliable service!

Disgusting. Absolutely bathed it in tomato sauce. Would have probably been lovely otherwise.

Usually the food quality has been very good in the past. However, the last two orders appeared to be under-cooked and very greasy. The fish and the chips were not crispy as usual but were quite soggy. I would be happier to wait a little longer for delivery if it meant that the food was cooked properly.

Was delivered quickly and food was hot. However the quality was very poor. Ordered the munchy box, pizza and chips were okay but pakora, onion rings and donner meat left a lot to be desired, couldn't even stomach the batter. Would not order again.

Food was cold and portion size was very small, will never buy from here again.

Magic and they replaced the poor onion rings I had previously ordered. Will 100% order from here again

Pizza and chips were really good. Onion rings were shocking they were burnt couldn't eat them had to bin them

Pizza was great, very hot and tasty

Food was lovely and was deliverded earlier than said l

Fish and chips hamburger supper fish must had been lying a long time could not eat it hamburger undercooked chips cold never again

Really good service, phoned up before i ordered with questions and they answered them! Delivery was really quick and the food was good quality for money! Will order again.

Brilliant timing, came half an hour early! Bird clearly knew a was melted, nd didn't make me feel para (I'm a heavy rookie) defo ordering again next time am out ma box off 3 draws cheers bregz

Always great service at the Balgreen Fryer....👌

Got the wrong order to start with but they were very quick at sorting the mistake. Best chippy pizza I've had in Edinburgh and I've had a few from this place

Meet to read the slips and pay attention to what's on them!!! Food was ok

Fantastic food and service as always. This is the only takeaway we use in Edinburgh - great food and sports delivery. Can't recommend highly enough

The Balgreen Fryer is usually the chippy I go to but after last night I think I will change. Food wasn't great. I ordered two mixed kebabs. There was 4 bits of chicken in each and the rest donner which was hard and dry. I also ordered chips and cheese but asked for curry sauce with it also. You were lucky if there was 3 spoonfuls of sauce and I didn't notice until I got home that I was charged £2.50 extra for it when on the menu you can get a tub for £2. I am disappointed as I have always thought the quality of their food was good. Don't think I'll be going back in a hurry.

Great tasting food. Even gave me 2 suppers when I ordered a supper and a single - nice surprise!

Food always really good. Quick delivery always arrives before scheduled time. Great service overall

Food was freezing cold and also wasn't cooked properly wasn't impressed at all

Food wasn't hot and neither the salad or the dip was included. Would not order from them again.

Always reliable, quick and very good quality.

50 minutes late and the food was cold

Worst meal in a long time, binned half of it and cooked my own food (whole point of ordering is so I don't cook) food was barely warm, greasy chips very small portions. Doubt I will be using this place again. (giving one star cos I can't give less)

Very poor quality of fish and chips and I truly believe that they just reheated them. Simply awful. Never again.

Worst takeaway in a very long time. Food was very greasy and basically luke warm to cold. Chips are awful for a chip shop and the worst chicken kebabs we've ever had. Won't order again.
