Went for breakfast on our first day here Well what a let down Booked on app and still had to wait 40mins Food freezing but what choice when brought to attention of tall guy who was manager on his badge We were basically dismissed with a ah well what can I do Well let's see not have people wait 40 mins and then give cold food At least we found a better weatherspoons where staff actually cared Would not recommend this location

This place needs full revamp from management down. Ordered food n drinks on app food came in 15 mins- but our drink to nearly an hour!! Said to staff and was told we are busy.. I know its cheap but this was a joke! Not to mention later our other drinks sent to wrong table , had to spent ages at bar showing emails cos they treat you like criminal until you have proven it was there mistake,

The pub was not very busy even though it was a Sunday. I went for lunch and ordered a stick with potatoes, the meat was just right, I normally order it very well done and the potatoes good. The dessert was a brownie with ice cream and chocolate syrup, the food was very good. The restaurant has a terrace in the back and since that day I went, it was sunny, the terrace had all the tables occupied, that's why I had a table inside the premises. The atmosphere is very cozy and the waiters are attentive. The restaurant is located very close to Edinburgh Waverley train station, about 5 minutes walk.

Ordered 2 x large breakfast. Drinks not recieved by the time food arrived. Had to go collect them sitting on end of bar after we had had finished eating. Coke flat and not chilled, can of monster warm *dont think this was because they were sitting think this was how they would have been served). No hash browns with food. Asked at the bar to have them sent out, should have been 6hash browns with 2 large breakfast. Only 4 came after we finished eating. Burned toast and barely 2 table spoons of beans with no juice wish I'd took a picture to show you how awful it was! Will not return. Sounds like I've just been picky but it really was not the regular wetherspoons cheap and cheerful we are used to and we eat in spoons all over the country 😞

Superb location just off Princes Street and next to the main Waverley Train Station. A really nice upgrade by Wetherspoon's to provide a building with real character. Probably the most expensive Spoons in Edinburgh but still great value. Service can be a bit slow at times but still more than acceptable. Oh and the selection and quality of the real ales is excellent.

Went for breakfast before getting a train at the Waverley. Service quick and food hot. No complaints a decent Spoons. It has an outdoor sitting area but is always busyinside and out during the day and night. We were unable to secure a table on our return journey but we were aware that this was a likely scenario. It's proximity to the station and tourist attractions makes this a busy pit stop for those seeking food and refreshments.

We traveled from the Lake District last year, a bit of time away after loosing my mum with my support dog and my husband. We stood on the pavement outside awaiting a seat, we found a table outside and my husband left me to get drinks. My dog had her harness on so we didn't think there was a problem. Once we my husband put the drinks on the table (we had no seats) we were rudely and verbally asked to leave the premises. Astonishes people on the next table told the staff how harshly we were spoke to. My husband approached the manager and him himself came out picked up our half drunk drinks and escorted us off the pavement we were stood. We don't travel for 3 hours to be treated like dirt. I will never recommend this discriminating pub. We have no other problem in any weatherspoons have visited. Approached weatherspoons regarding my complaint with no response. About time weatherspoons came up to the times and allow support dogs to assist their owners. You ruined my weekend we left traumatised

No need to wait for guidance, just sit in an empty seat, order and pay through the app. So it's easy even if you don't know English well. The atmosphere is a noisy pub.
